The company Dwight essentially works for had rented a theater for King Kong to use as part of a promotion. He wasn’t going to go since his boss had made it sound more like he was going to prop open the exit door for Dwight to get him in. However when he was going over to Joe’s another friend called about two tickets he had. It turned out that it was for the same showing. Dwight was able to secure another ticket for DC from a “coworker.”
The movie was spectacular. The visuals were incredible. While there were times one could discern that a green screen had been used, it was not always readily apparent. The acting was commendable on all counts. The biggest flaw involved Dwight drinking too much coke too soon in the game for a three hour movie, which includes the trailers. The only other sticking flaw was that some of the adventures on the island were almost too much, sure it made a good showing, but it also reminded the viewer that they were watching a creation of Hollywood. The most notable event being a dinosaur that would excel where so many fail at space invaders. Since it has mastered the concept as Lrrr from the planet Omicron Persie 8 would say, “instead of shooting where I was, you should have shot where I was going to be.”
King Kong is easily in the top 10 and close to if not number 1 for the year. It probably has earned a spot in Dwight’s top 10 movies of all time.
Theater worthy: yes
DVD worthy: yes
