Minor and major nits..Some of these may be spoilers, so read at your own risk.

– Looks like PJ’s editor feel asleep during post-production. What could have been a classic 2 hr 15-30min movie is only a good 3hr+ movie.

– My #1 complaint is w/ the 2nd act – on Skull Island. “Eppo da mudiyum indha Jurassic Park-4 nnu irundhadu.” How many strange creatures can one island bear! I was waiting for some Aliens & Predators to show up next! It was like a completely different movie! It was extremely self-conscious film making too – look what I can do w/ CGI! – PJ went beserk here w/o the studio or his editor reigning him in.(BTW, if I am trying to capture one of these creatures for money, I’d probably choose a V-Rex over a Gorilla – most people have seen a Gorilla (smaller specimen) – who has seen a live Dino?)

– #2 grouse – Lazy filmaking (maybe that’s why you liked it) Many examples throughout: 1) There is a sub-plot involving the ship’s 1st mate and a hand deck (Jimmy), that is developed w/o any payoff? WTF? 2) No sign of Natives when they escape from Skull Island. They lived on the seaward side of the wall and then nowhere to be seen 3) I know we are expected to suspend disbelief, but no one gets nary a scratch on their body despite their incredible adventure! If a giant ape had shook me I am sure I’d end up w/ multiple life-threatening fractures if not a heart-attack. 4) How did they lift a 3000lb gorrila from the shore into the ship, let alone drag it to NY from South Asia? 5) The Empire State scenes were superb but dude I’d be blown off by the wind if I am standing on top. Ann is climbing up, hanging on etc. with a skimpy dress in cold weather and perfect hair! (not to mention running around NYC and playing in the snow in central park in that dress!)

– #3 – Weak Emotional Payoff. Indha galatta-kku apparum ivvalavu thaana? Kong is the only one who is acting human here – w/ his feelings for Ann. Ann and Driscoll part ways in NY on return from Skull Island? WTF? He has no idea that she chose obscurity while she hasn’t a kin about Kong’s unveiling? What? Why? Ann doesn’t even care for Kong enough to see the unveiling? PJ’s case here is that she can’t bear to see him being tortured. I don’t buy that argument. KK is essentially a love triangle – Ann, Kong and Jack Driscoll, but only Kong seems to making an effort! The last scene for example – I would have loved to see the entire impact of Kong’s fall from ESB – nope – all we get is Kong falling off and a scene of a people crowded around his body. Shouldn’t that have been the “ending w/ a bang” – Imagine how a huge Gorilla would have landed w/ a thud off that building. PJ missed a great opportunity here.

Ok – will stop rambling now…
