Hang on to your armrests, because when this big beast changes course, it does it fast. King Kong goes from failure to masterpiece in, literally, one minute and fifteen seconds.

The most severe spoiler warning I will ever issue applies to this review. I know you already know what happens at the end of this movie; that's not the point. Believe me: in this King Kong, the surprises of getting there are like nothing you've ever seen. Don't ruin them for yoursef. Go see the flick, then come back and read my review.

Meanwhile, it's twenty after one in the morning and I've listened to the last six tracks of the Kong score four times just finishing the last three paragraphs of that sucker. Completely flipped my voice and style, and damn happy I did, because the "imperiouser-than-thou" bit was getting old.

Mmm... big monkey.

Sleep now.
