Clocking in at just over 187 minutes, it seem Peter Jackson can't make a movie that is less than 3 hours long. Of course, this is no Lord of the Rings and whatever else you might have heard, it's a movie about a giant ape.
The story starts slowly and picks up half way through, and when it does it is utterly spectacular. The action sequences are absolutely amazing and Jackson even managed to make all of it dramatic.
Of course, coming off a long trilogy like LOTR, Peter Jackson can't help but be dramatic but I just wish he would shift some of that monkey business off the ape and focus at least a bit more attention on the cannon fodder dying around the main characters.
It's good, but you probably need a Kong-sized bladder to sit though all of it.
