King Kong (2005)'s effects. Yay or Nay?

I'm pretty high on King Kong's (2005) special visual effects. I think the brontosaurus stampede is a little unbelievable, though. But my sentiments might be effected by my sympathy for them as veggie-saurus victims as it was pretty brutal. It's not the effects that I have a problem with it's what Jackson, a totally brilliant filmmaker, at times did with them. For instance, the sequence where Watts and the T-rex are falling through the vines is cartoonish to me, and the Kong/Watts ice skating scene is ridiculous. In terms of visual effects these examples are close to perfect, I just disagree with Jackson's vision in places.

I'd rather watch the magic of the 1933 original.
Jackson went way overboard, it was over-indulgent in many areas, especially the runtime, and it played out like a cartoon.
With the exception of Naomi Watts, the casting of Jack Black and Adrien Brody was poor decision making too, as I don't like either and find them both unappealing to watch.
The film wasn't quite the hit anticipated and perhaps rightly so.

The special effects are the worst thing about the movie and why Jackson's remake will always get a big fat goose egg from me. They are so bad that I'd rather see 100 hours of Rick Baker in a gorilla suit than see one second of CGI from the movie.

I think the CGI was terrific! Very realistic.
I still love the original 1930s film. It frightened me as a child. I still see the shear horror when Beauty gets her first look at the Beast!
I still admire what went into the special effects at that time.
As for the 1970s version???
I am a fan of Peter Jackson's film.
BEAUTIFUL….
You asked a pretty question; I've given you the ugly answer.
