King Kong EE is Here!!!

With only 13 extra minutes of footage, it's not comparable to the LOTR:EE's, but the few scenes added did make the film better... mainly new dinosaur footage - YAY!!!! The main reason to buy the set is for the special features, even better than LOTR
- Bloopers- 20 mins worth, edited really well
- Deleted scenes- 40 min worth... glad most of these weren't cut back in
- Behind the scenes doco... not so much cut into little pieces like LOTR - the best part of the package really.
- Commentary- only one unfortunately, but the one that matters - PJ and Phillipa give insight into the character motivations... and there seems to be a huge amount of completely CGI shots.

This is Kong how it should be presented.... it shows you how little the production diaries actually showed.
