I wonder if it's wrong to expect people to have at least seen the original, or to at least acknowledge that things are done a certain way because it is a remake (or "tribute" as I like to think of it).
This is in regards to a few points that I've seen more than a couple of people complain about after the few screenings that have occured.
1. They completely skip over Kong coming to NYC, and instead go straight from knocking him out to having him on display. This, of course, is one of the originals memorable scenes. I'm glad Jackson didn't fill in the gap with made-up story.
2. Why they didn't take a dinosaur instead of Kong back with them. This is a pretty lame criticism, considering it wouldn't be the same movie
3. "Hokey" dialogue, especially in reference to the last line. If they took out the last line, it wouldn't be the same. The original had quite a few "hokey" lines.
The one valid criticism that I think may be true is that apparently Kong is "nicer" in the new version. The old Kong killed quite a few people, many by simply eating them, or in one case throwing them off a building. This seems to be missing from the new version, and I think that could be a negative. Kong is supposed to be a wild animal, even primates in the zoo can be dangerous, imagine what a normal one could do.

But it makes sense. I can see Kong ripping up some tribal dudes because hey people won't care about that but I really can't see him killing any of the American crew or whatever.
Did you notice how Kong looks? He's got scars and his right(?) eye is messed up from a fight with a T-rex I think.
That's the kind of stuff that Peter added (or so he said in the interview).
