		Action Jackson is presented at 1.78:1 (very close to its original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.85:1) and is 16x9 enhanced.
		Action Jackson is a perfectly reasonable example of the “big action film” that was so dominant in the late 80s — early 90s.

	Thomas Hibbs on King Kong on National Review Online
		Peter Jackson's much-anticipated follow-up to The Lord of the Rings trilogy, a lavish and long (187 minutes) remake of King Kong is at once deeply flawed and a must-see.
		Jackson's visually arresting film contains some of the most memorable scenes in recent film, yet his attempt to turn every subplot and every character into epic material too fails.
		In the final sequences, Jackson expertly and convincingly moves the audience, by turns, to joy, fear, anger, hope, and sorrow.
