When Peter Jackson did The Lord of the Rings films, he set a standard of film making and in King Koong he fell WAY short of that standard.
The reason why he fell short is very simple. Everyone's goal who did the special effects in the Lord of the Rings was not to have the viewer say, "Hey look at the special effect" if they said that, they (Lord of the Rings crew) thought they had failed. They wanted to have the special effect be apart of the story and not to have it stand out. Well in King Kong it was ALL "Look at that special effect".
Having said that, this film was WAY too long. I mean this film was over 3 hours and you could have edited at least 1 hour maybe more. The film really dragged.
