King Kong dies

One of the most expected movies of the season is out. King Kong! Yesterday, me and my friend went to the Regal cinemas, at Newington to watch it. (There is a "regal cinema" in madurai, which always plays English movies, and also it is notorious ;-)). We got the ticket for matinee show, crowd was less. One thing that surpised me was, there were no seat numbers and anyone can sit anywhere. Wow, it reminded me my golden days at mdurai theatraes. And more surprisingly, first few rows were getting occupied faster than the last rows.. I agree that in first few rows you can see bigger king kong than last rowers, but I did not find any other reason for contention of first rows.

This is the first King Kong movie I've watched. I have heard a lot about the pre-quels of this movie and had my expectations high. Was bit disappointed when I watched it. In the first hour they hardly showed the beast. few comedies were good, but it was dragging. All of sudden, some tribals appeared on the screen and they never turned back during the last minutes. After the Kong came to the screen, it was interesting and fast moving! Every beast has a weakness. It gets soft-minded for the heroin, and saves her from the enemies (dinosaurs, bats,...) (engayo kaetta story?). It gets trapped to the anti-villains of the movie and they bring it to the city for money. The last hour was very much boring... The movie ran for 3 Hrs, and I went there, knowingly. (I can hear u saying that unakku ithuvum venum innamum venum...). the movie is OK, overall, but does not worth for 3 hrs.



The above fight was like the one between our MGR and nambhiyar. Atlast, MGR saves J.lalitha. LoL....

Oops, forgot to tell about the message. After the King Kong was killed (actually, it was a suicide, but no one noticed it), one of our anti-villains appeared in the screen and said, "it is not the aeroplane which killed it, but, the beauty killed the beast". But no doubt that anyone will fall for Naomi Watts. So, the message is, "Beauty can kill any beast", ;-). Actually, I was expecting some message like "anbae jesus", juz kiddin'.. but,..

It looks like the Chinese have started protesting against the movie since the name sounds like their(?) prestigious city(?), Hong Kong. I know you are searching for some thing to beat me up, but this is the impact of reading many "kadi jokes" mails..., and after all, this sounds like our old "border movie and Allan border" kadi Joke, happy blogging!
