The biggest dilemma most people had with King Kong was its length, so there’s no surprise that reaction by the general public to the release of an extended edition of another 3 hour-plus Peter Jackson film was almost the equivalent of a collective groan.

The surprise is that everything added to the Extended Edition of King Kong should have never been lop. More dinosaurs and more creatures and more action on Skull Island only improves the film, and one wonders if these scenes were cleave mostly for time and pacing, why wasn’t a slight bit of the 51 minutes of pre-Skull Island snipped or perhaps a few overly drawn scenes of Kong and Anna gazing into each other’s eyes?
The more noticable scenes are that of a rampaging Ceratops and a fun scene of an underwater monster attacking Adrien Brody and Co. while they are rafting down a river. A bit more character development with some seedy behavior by Carl Denham (Jack Dark) and fearless deeds by Jack Driscoll and the shipmates add a bit of flavor to the male characters literally overshadowed by Kong in the film. The spider pit sequence is also a bit lengthened with some more lines by Jack Sad. Overall, a superior 13 minutes of added material, but the film unruffled feels too long in the last act.

The special features to this extended edition are the special features that were missing from the first release of the Kong movie, including a commentary from Peter Jackson and extensive slow the scenes features, describing the making of Kong from notion artwork to the mask a la the performance of Andy Serkis.
I enjoyed the extended gash, but I don’t know that this lengthy movie is better served with added material. It’s not like the LOTR films where the additions enhance your viewing and thought of Tolkien’s world. But hey, I am not going to complain about more dinosaurs and the raft sequence I was disappointed was missing from the unusual slash.

One thing to mark from this release - there is no DTS soundtrack on this release, which has disappointed and even angered a lot of fans…. Benchmarking from the Lord of the Rings extented dvd releases, this is an ommission that trully expected… Be mindful…. Never the less, this is a strong release, from a director who understands what a dvd presentation should be. Situation this 1 on your christmas wishlist!
