Despite this, Anne Darrow shows no hint of cold or discomfort, despite wearing a sleeveless gown. Kong takes her to the top of the Empire State Building, where it's even colder. Still no discomfort. In fact, she's able to climb a metal ladder, which should have frozen her poor little fingers off. <BR/><BR/>"By the time Driscoll reached her, Darrow should have been a block of ice. The effects of adrenaline would never have lasted to keep Anne warm for that long.

This one's a stinker. <BR/><BR/>It's got some good points, but not nearly enough to outweigh the bad. And it's just plain nonsensical. It's as if Jackson and Co. didn't have the guts to do a really thorough revision, so they kinda did a half-assed one. The result is a film which is potentially *MORE* offensive than the 1933 original and which makes little, if any, sense.Ancrene Wiseasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02075637582360688845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10942485.post-1136126528341187542006-01-01T06:42:00.000-08:002006-01-01T06:42:00.000-08:00The 2005 version has very good special effects, I'...The 2005 version has very good special effects, I'll give'em that.
