I gave it a 9 out of 10.

As usual, The Man delivers.

I watched it with my son and he really liked how they hurry up and get on the island already, as did I.
Jack Black seems to be even more annoying, but that’s probably his purpose in this movie anyway.

As for getting Kong on the ship, I’m pretty sure it is never shown in the 1933 original or PJ’s version. I forget about the 1976/Jeff Bridges version (which I did like)
Artistic license and all that jazz I guess.

I never saw this movie in the theater because of how terrible the other remake of the original “King Kong” was. So I had no frame of reference or pre-conceived notions for this edit. I was actually very excited to DL this FE and watch it.

As bobschebaldi said, the technical aspects of this one is excellent. No rough cuts etc noticeable and the audio/video quality is perfect – as I have come to expect from TMBTM. I saw no “plot holes” or “huh?’ moments via the editing. Great job!

As far as the movie itself, I just don’t care for it. (This has nothing to do with TMBTM’s edit or ability). I am not quite certain why, but this movie just couldn’t keep my entire attention (I found myself surfing the net and skimming through the FE forum while I watched this movie). Maybe it’s the “over the top acting” from most of the main characters; maybe it’s the script; and it’s probably a lot because of Jack Black – I’m just not sure why I didn’t care for the movie.
