This is a good movie.  Peter Jackson directs (lotr) and does a great job.  The story is as you would expect except with more fun goodies in the form of cgi monsters and mayhem galore.  The trip to the island where they capture Kong is rife with additional creatures - bugs, dinosaurs, bats, etc.

If you have the inclination, you can contemplate the issues of wanting what you can’t have and being where you don’t belong and whether platonic love between monkey and woman can be true.

The whole goal of the movie is to make you bond with the giant ape and then to feel bad when it croaks.  As long as you are OK with that, its a marvelously well crafted story whose ending you already know.
