Dear Peter Jackson,

After seeing King Kong, I must say to you: Less is more, my friend. In case you were unaware, movies are not actually required to be 3 hours long. If you decide they should be, I recommend using a greater percentage of that time for things like “plot” and “character development” and less for “dinosaurs fighting with each other then chasing the aforementioned underdeveloped human characters.” And if you’re going to cut things out to move the story along, make it the boring things. I’d much rather have watched the crew try to get a 25 foot tall gorilla onto that boat than watch them fight bugs. In fact, them getting King Kong onto the boat would have been more interesting than about 90% of the movie.

Also, I sincerely hope you didn’t mean for the audience to take this film seriously. I tried to, I really did, but you officially lost me when the dinosaurs started falling down a hill and crashing into each other like they were cars in a John Landis movie. I do love John Landis, but there’s really no place for him in this movie.

Thanks,
Bryce
