My God, what an overlong, bloated, stupid and pointlessly loud movie. Most of it is just watching nameless sailors getting picked off by Weta Workshop's CGI monstrosities in overly elaborate action scenes (which brought to mind the worst parts of the Hobbit trilogy).

Also, Jack Black's character should've gotten his head torn off by Kong. The character was a massive piece of shit, all of the deaths were his fault but noo, we're supposed to think he's funny. He even gets to deliver the awful final solemn line the movie ends on.

Between this and the Hobbit movies it's a miracle his LOTR trilogy ended up being as good as it was. What a hack fraud

    That scene was pretty effectively horrifying, I will admit. I'd randomly seen it on Youtube before though so the impact was robbed somewhat

      same here. i saw it first on youtube totally out of context and thought the whole movie was going to have that edge to it. was disappointed obviously but i still kept going back for more.
