Saw it but I also saw it after working a 7 hour shift so I was a rather tired. I think it's a fantastic movie but some of the sequences in the film dragged a bit too long (Kong playing with Ann for 5 minutes [it also was also one of the weaker CGI segments], Kong Ice skating for 5 minutes, some of the bug sequence). None of these scenes should have been removed merely trimmed. (Thoug hteh bug sequence was just kinda blah and seemed pointless but that could be because I hate insects) Shaving off even just 10 to 20 minutes would have been beneficial but all in all the runtime didn't really detract from the overall epic quality of the film.

The CGI on Kong is amazing, but the dinosaurs look only half-decent and sometimes the usage of CGI was just so blatant that it drew you out of the picture but I tend to overanalysze so it could just be me.

Jack Black was perfectly cast imo. The entire cast was perfect

I'll rewatch it when I'm more alert and will probably enjoy it much more. I'll give it an 8 out of 10 and that'll probably increase to 8.5 or so when I watch it fresh.

I fear what maybe come with a DVD release, hopefully Jackson doesn't decide that an extended edition is needed.
