King Kong the flop commercial makeover

[Blarg]

I read an article in the L.A. Times the other day that King Kong was very disappointing in its box office receipts.

I wasn't sure whether to be surprised by this or not, but a commercial I just saw made me realize something.

The old commercials were dull as hell. The new commercial has the chick being caught as she falls, lots more leaping about by Kong, Kong thrashing a dinosaur, etc. It almost looked like a different movie from the one they used to advertise.

Anyone else see the new commercial and wonder, What the hell were they thinking by not making it look this exciting before?
