A well-written and acted "indie" can satisfy me on a deep level. But sometimes nothing fits the bill for movie thrills better than an outstanding, outsized epic.

The only problem is that as shown in theaters, it is over three hours long.

This one actually beats the 1933 version, but better yet it actually reimagines it to something even more.

That was my first reaction as the credits splashed onto the screen at the end of Peter Jackson's 3+ hour long King Kong. This, after two hours on an almost non-stop roller-coaster, both in an action sense and an emotional one.

It could've been really good; they certainly had the resources to make great special effects, but effects alone can't carry a movie, especially when they're not used well.

The tickets were sold out during the first day, as they often are, so I had to wait until about a week later when there at least a few empty seats.
