This film was such a disappointment that I can not put it into words. A bad movie is bad enough but the only way to make a bad movie worse is to make it long. This movie is both bad and long. Peter Jackson should forget he ever made this turkey and so should everyone else. The Film left me wanting from beginning to end. Jack Black is "WRONG" for the part but yet there he is in all his "WO DUDE" splendor. I think of all the talented film makers out there with no money trying to make films as this gigantic money pit is being filmed and it makes me sick. Especially when you could chop this budget up and make over 25,000 good short films or 150 good full lengths. What a waste. Rent it on DVD but don't bother going to the theatre. I went and camped out for over 3 hours to see another big CGI monkey running around raising hell and actors pretending like they can see it when there was nothing there when it was filmed. Oh, I also saw Peter Jackson getting richer for no reason at all. Still loved the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy though.
