That's not the say that the action between the giant Lizard and the giant Ape in the film isn't absolutely fantastic. In fact, the only bad thing that anyone's had to murmur about the fight sequences is that it takes entirely too long before the Titans start trading blows.

The biggest criticism of the film, however, is that when the monsters aren't fighting there doesn't really seem to be an otherwise compelling story going on.

This means that sympathizing with the movie's human characters is almost impossible — until the little girl who manages to communicate with Kong comes on the screen. 

A number of critics and fans of the film alike have had nothing but positive things to say about the actress, but it isn't just audiences. Her fellow cast members were over the moon to work with her.
