...the missing scene we were all discussing before. These are some of the gruesome scenes the 1933 version cut out when shown in theaters. Pretty horrific for its time, i guess.ENJOY! [/B]
I don't blame you for not scrolling through each page to find this. I hope it's still on YouTube.com

Lots of people found the relationship between Kong and Anne was leaning a bit on the romantic side but I never felt that.
They went ****ing ice skating. The biggest flaw of the movie, aside from making it unnecessarily long, was trying to humanize King Kong to the point where you forget he's an ape, and shooting for some borderline beastiality. There were tons of examples of overkill in this movie, both visually and emotionally.

I think the humanity part was sort of cute.
There were so many things wrong with this movie.
As CA mentioned above, the relationship between Kong and Anne was ridiculous. Put her on her feet, push her over, laugh hysterically. Anne dances like an idiot. I don't understand why people praise this movie so much but bashes the '70s version, which is better in every way. Wait... I do understand, because it's Peter Jackson. He can sh*t in a bowl and it'll make $300 million just because his name is attached to it.
Their relationship was essential in order to make the point of the film, we had to care about Kong and we were meant to see the beauty in him that Anne saw, but that no one else did. They achieved this about as good as they could.
The only thing that I felt was over done was some of the long looks between them, did that a bit too much, overplayed it. But their relationship as a whole was fine. Had no problem with it and it added too the emotional impact of the ending.

With all respect to above opinions, I thought the movie was great. It's in my favorites list.People don't understand why the film is so different, stretched, and exaggerated. Without taking into consideration that this is 'Peter Jacksons King Kong'.
And as for the ending, Jack Black's "It was beauty that killed the beast," seemed really forced. It may be just me but it felt like Jackson had forgotten to add that line into the script and at the end of production, was like "Hey, Jack, do this for me real quick!"

If my sources are correct, I believe it was Fay Wray who was intended to do the line. Before she passed away in '04.
