The King has arrived!


This is not a movie review but instead a representation of my excitement after watching this MONSTROSITY of a movie!

People are now investigating into the title of Jackson's previous movie "The Return of the King" for secret messages and connotations ...Perhaps, he was hinting at the 'King' (Kong) himself!

The often misunderstood love scenes between the lead character and the ape are not of the romantic variety but more of a deep emotional bonding. She is extremely attached to the monster because of its unexpected compassion towards her, and that's about it. I mean, dont people love their pets and share their own emotions with them? Observing all the hoopla surrounding the issue, I was expecting a smooching scene between the beauty and the beast!! Mannn...that would have been quite a scene!!

Those scenes where Naomi Watts sleeps nestled in the cozy hands of the creature are all a simple and beautiful portrayal of human emotions.

The biggest surprise is that there are very few dialogues in the entire movie! Quite understandably so. What can humans possibly talk with beasts?! Also, inclusion of dialogues would have hindered the flow of the mindblowing action sequences!

On the whole, this movie is nothing short of a masterpiece etched by the hands of a genius! It is an amazing achievement in film-making and elevates the quality of graphics and animation to the next level! At times, Kong looks more like a real, living, breathing and combating animal than a construction of computer pixels! And thanks to Andy Serkis, he is by far the best actor in the movie too!
