Re-Evaluating King Kong

I've been waffling for a while on whether or not to see it. After Lord of the Rings, I have a lot of good will toward Peter Jackson. However, as I noted a while back, Kong is going to be three hours long, and that may be too much ape for me. Now, though, I am re-considering in light of the intense trailers, especially the one in front of The Goblet of Fire, and this article in Newsweek. Hell, I'll probably see it. After all, other than Narnia, the choices this fall are pretty laughable.
