The interaction between Ann Darrow and Kong was brilliant -- it really semed like they were communicating with each other. Kong looked live and real and not only that -- his emotions were written all over his face.
Jackson made a movie in which it seemed like Kong was all alone, but then finally found happiness when he made a friend in Ann. The emotions were just incredible and so real. He felt when he was happy and when he was sad.
For those few people he didn't enjoy this movie that's perfectly alright. I'm sure there is some German art house flick playing somewhere that you'd consider "real" and that you'd enjoy much mre.
Anyone who wanted to see Kong will not be disappointed. They will weep when he dies. Anyone who went to Kong expecting to hate it (or were looking forward to pontificating about how much they hated) shouldn't waste their time. Go see Syriana instead.
