I SAW KING KONG AND IF YOU DON'T SEE IT YOU'RE A DAMN FOOL.
*ahem* Anyway, I didn't cry, but I did get a little choked up and my sister cried like a baby. Kong was AWESOME. Not particularly scary...mostly kind of cute and cuddly, but still awesome. The whole movie's just amazing, Peter Jackson is such an amazing director. It's visually unlike anything else I've seen, every frame is gorgeous, and setting in the 30's definitely helped a lot.
Adrien Brody? I TOTALLY get it now. I also love Thomas Kretchman (?), who plays the captain, and Jamie Bell, who makes you want to cry when he cries. Jack Black was actually really good in it, he played it very straight and Carl Denham was an interesting character.
The jungle stuff is all amazing and scary and occasionally funny, except for the giant bugs which I couldn't watch at all. They were well done, it's just that I'm terrified of bugs as it is. The dinosaurs were cool, and Kong fighting the dinosaurs is amazing.
Kong's death is incredibly affecting.
Take the quiz:
What kind of eyes do you have? (with pictures)
Green
You have green eyes. Green is the color of balance. Your eyes symbolize your ever need to learn. Green brings peace and harmony into our lives, as you may be a very optimistic person. At times you may be placid, lethargic, lazy, and slow, to the point of becoming moody and depressed. You may also be apathetic and have a fear rejection. Do not feel bad though, for what you may lack, you can in your ability to heal and bring hope to people. Some words to describe you: growth, fertility, harmony, healing, refreshing, peaceful, contentment, satisfaction, confidence, prosperous, hopeful, lucky, and beautiful.

My eyes look EXACTLY LIKE THAT. Well, except for the makeup and stuff.

Although I do wonder what the people who chose yellow-orange got - *L*!
Good to hear your (spoiler-free!) report on Kong, especially "Adrien Brody? I TOTALLY get it now" - because, seriously, he has been sticking out like a sore thumb in the previews for me. I hope I have the same reaction. *S*

The effects were amazing, though slightly dizzy at moments. I think it was so well put together. You could feel every emotion of this movie. When it was supposed to be scary, it was. When it was supposed to be funny it was. Nothing was missed in the translation. PJ is just brilliant.
The only parts I couldn't watch were as you said, the bugs. OMG! I think I was freaking out loudly because the people two rows up from me were laughing at me and telling me that it would be okay. lol. I kept saying, "SWAT IT! SWAT IT! OMG! DO SOMETHING!!! ACK!"
Will admit that I would have been dead at that point if I had been in that situation. Found a new respect for slugs though. EWWW BUGS! *shivers and cringes*
GO SEE KING KONG! and bring a tissue.

Everybody has absolutely amazing, spot-on performances in this. There's something about Peter Jackson that brings out the best in people, and this is no exception. Everyone is *perfect*.
I need a Kong icon.

I mean, Serenity is pure Joss and Kong is pure Peter Jackson. It's not fair comparing them, they're BOTH my favourites XD

Yeah, I'm scared of bugs anyway, so that did NOT help.
