Thanks for the input guys. I plan to see it over break. The reviews I have read have all been very good, perdicting it'll be one of the year's best. One reporter said that the 3 hours were all "action packed" and where he'd normally say it would be too long, it didn't in this case.

I love watching the special effects (not that I know anything about the technicalities of them). :p The previews just looked good to me.

I've always loved the Empire State scene and look forward to that. I did see the brief clip of "Ann Darrow" falling and Kong catching her. Glad to hear the good reviews.

I imagine they stuck to the original story, although it's pretty basic, and I would think hard to change.
