Considering how many men have been lost on Kong Island plus the fact that they would need to get Kong onto the ship before they could set sail, I think it's fair to say this is one of the weaker areas of storytelling in the film. <br /><br />To say a modern audience isn't used to fast paced storytelling also feels somewhat inaccurate. Many contemporary films can't wait to blister through their stories, often to the detriment of the film. In fact, King Kong actually goes against your argument - as I say in the review, the directors don't allow us to see even a glimpse of Kong until nearly an hour into the film. If that's not deliberately slow paced filmmaking then I don't know what is.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4685634083080876125.post-38238342789222833952013-08-16T15:38:50.675+01:002013-08-16T15:38:50.675+01:00"Whilst it can be forgiven that we never actu..."Whilst it can be forgiven that we never actually see on screen Kong being transported from the island to New York"<br /><br />Can be forgiven? That's one of my favorite things about the movie! The first time I saw it, I was very pleasantly surprised when the film just cut to New York; I was expecting to see the journey, then realized it would be completely unnecessary.<br /><br />We're not used to storytelling that fast paced anymore.
