Is Kong King?

I'm seeing it Saturday, but I'd love to hear some reactions without spoilers, although I realize there won't be a suprise parachute when he falls from the Empire State Building. I just hope it's better than the trailers.

Narnia

Aslan, the believable and loveable Jim Henson puppet, escorted me through the realms of Narnia as a child, but now some computer animated lion is supposed to take over? Ick. I am off to see the new film tomorrow afternoon with my family posse. From the previews, it seems wonderful with great special effects and good battle scenes and great camerawork and such, but the thought of a computer animated Aslan just knocks me sideways, like Yoda from the original Star Wars films to the new ones. I suppose I follow the puppet reign out of childhood's blind loyalty, but we shall see. I'll write a postview review tomorrow evening as a comment.
