See... Here's the thing with King Kong. Yes it was long, but goddamnit it was entertaining. That flick was like a massive powerful locomotive; it took a while to work up speed, but once it was running on all cylinders it was an unstoppable entertainment machine.
I rarely like 3-hour movies, but King Kong amazed me. I know that everyone is mentioning Jurassic Park as having the most believable CG of all time and I'll go ahead and agree there. King Kong is, by no means, on par with Jurassic Park but for a movie that was made almost entirely in CG, I think that it's hard to top something like this.

You know, that was kind of my outlook on it when I first heard about this. After I watched it I wasn't really too bothered about the remake, but as a standard rule: Yeah... If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
