Yep. Jackson is an excellent film maker. King kong cost $207 million to make..making it the second most expensive film after Bryan Singers upcoming Superman Returns ($250 million). I saw War of The Worlds when it came out.It was fantastic. Tom Cruise at his best. Having Morgan Freeman narrate was a bonus. What did u think of it?. King Kong and War of the Worlds have something in common...both movies are set in the olden days.
