Beauty Killed the Movie

...or better: the strive for beauty killed the movie. King Kong is a movie worth seeing in a $2 theater because you don't waste more that $2 and 3 hours of your life and you're less motivated to just stop watching. I felt as though I would have just stopped a DVD version. The whole movie tries to take an age-old story and make it a technical marvel and and emotional thriller. However, it fails at both with entirely contrived plots, characters, and far too many over-the-top action scenes that just wouldn't end. It also seemed that there was an infinite supply of bit characters in the expedition that would just die randomly in this futile search for a single female barely anyone cared about.

The whole movie I was hoping everyone would just die immediately and it could spare me from the rest of the movie. I now have a new passion to watch Ultraviolet just so I can be sure worse movies are being made.
