He doesn't have the facial expressions to portray a serious character on the Big-Screen. I felt the movie dragged out way too long. Yes it had some big names behind the directing and what not, but damn you Peter Jackson for feeling you must make all of your movies incredibly long! The movie (which was already remade once before) was exaggerated in a lot of places it didn't need to. Yes the fact that beauty killed the beast is the underlying theme, but did it have to be shoved down our throats, pulled out our arses, and fed to us again? No sir! Anyway as you can tell, I didn't think it was all that great...definitely a rental rather than a movie theater movie.

King Kong . Excellent for all, I give it two thumbs up. Five Star. The Spankle-Seal of Approval. Ol' Peter Jackson can't stand to cut his narratives short, but the three hours isn't ever excruciating (cough cough hobbiton cough) because you watch three short movies in a row, basically. I liked them all. And just.. (thumping chest) beautiful... (and modest, too, bitch.) Definitely one to see projected in its glory, scale of course playing an important role in, well, the scale of things. ..aaaaaand Jack Black pulls it together for an almost serious role. I knew ya had it in ya, buddy. ..aaaaaand ya got the guy what played "Gollum" Andy Serkis acting the part of the great ape. You can also find him out of uniform as "Lumpy" the ship's cook. Yeah, it's the holidays. "Treat yourself." Yes. King Kong . Excellent for all, I give it two thumbs up. Five Star. The Spankle-Seal of Approval.

His name has been a solid headline comedy draw, and after this movie his acting talents should be acknowledged. I smell a Jim Carrey level on the horizon, choosing meaty roles and supplemented by gut busting high grossing comedies. Yeah, I think Jack Black may now be on the cusp of superstardom….
