I was going to rate this film a solid 10 until the film suddenly went off on a tangent. The opening scenes displayed phenomenal cinematic artistry and we were amazed at how great it was moving along. Good cast, great acting and again, fantastic camera work. Then they got to the island and ...what the heck happened. It was like a different director took over and it became increasingly silly. The focus should have been on King Kong and the lead actress, but instead Jurassic Park and the Attack of the Giant Ants got spiced in. Then to add to the ridiculousness, the lead actress ran all through the jungle barefoot and throughout the whole mess, was barely scratched. The finale cane with her running in a slip and barefoot in the snow and apparently not feeling the cold either. If the director had focused on the initial story he could have easily cut off 1 hour from this crazy conglomeration of mixed up chaos.
