Hayes and Jimmy (Evan Parke and Jamie Bell): Are secondary characters that needed to remain secondary like the ships captain or Lumpy. Hell half the boat was probably in love with her.

Sure Jack falls for Ann mid movie or so but who wouldn't, she's beautiful, there was nothing to overcome here. And when last we see him he is consoling dear Ann after Kong has died.Īll three characters, while fun to watch, never really go anywhere beyond their initial set up in the film. Writes a play for Ann when he gets back to NY. Battles the many dangers of Skull Island to find Ann.
Jack Driscoll (Adrien Brody): He basicaly gets conned into coming along on the voyage, but really really wants to get back to his play. By film's end she has no film career, still seems down on her luck and has witnessed Kongs death, for whom she felt some affection. Many times I wanted him to be stepped on.Īnn Darrow (Naomi Watts): At the beginning of the film we see her longing for film career, kind of down on her luck and has apparently been burned by love many a time. He is probably the only human character with a clear arc because by the end of the film is still a wild eccentric, totally a jerk and is not likeable at all. Shall I explain.yes I shall.Ĭarl Denham (Jack Black): When the film begins he is a wild eccentric, a little bit of a jerk but still likeable.
What are these characters feeling now? We know how they felt on the journey to Skull Island but how about now? A missed chanced to get back to character development and motivation, this would have made the film stronger (and longer) But, as the film is we have a strong character set up which basically goes no where. I would have liked to see what the journey back was like. In fact once they subdue Kong, to being him back to NY, there is a time cut.bam we are back in NY. There is nothing wrong with that, we want to see Kong bringing the pain to some T-rexs, but looking back it's like two different movies. However once on Skull Island, character development stops and it turns into Jurassic nning, screaming, dieing. Not just the main characters mind you but some secondary ones as well.ie Hayes and Jimmy two members of the crew.
Leading up to this point we are introduced to a variety of characters. In fact from a character/story point of view, the arrival on Skull Island is the problem. But for me, I enjoyed the way they introduced the characters and set into motion how they all ended up on this boat which would land them on Skull Island. Some folks I went with found it rather boring and just wanted to get to the island and see some huge animal fights. The set up for the film, in my opinion, was great.I really enjoyed it. It was after the movie, looking back at the film, that I realized how much better the film could have been and where it was lacking. I was thoroughly entertained from start to finish. The fact that I never went, nor needed to pee once, is a good sign for the film. Now my bladder is the size of a pea, which causes me great anxiety when going to see long movies.

It's Christmas Eve! Folks are scrambling to finish their shopping, kitchen's are going full steam baking cookies and I've decided now would be an excellent time to give me review/thoughts on Peter Jackson's King Kong.Ĭlocking in at 3 hours Kong is nothing if not a long film.
