If it's the latter, then you can more or less translate that to "I just wanted to see the cool action stuff, why did they have to have boring character development?!"

well, the new yorker guy clearly wasn't looking for more action but, to give it to you straight, david denby said: "This Kong is high-powered entertainment, but Jackson pushes too hard and loses momentum over the more than three hours of the movie. The story was always a goofy fable - that was its charm - and a well-told fable knows when to stop." (p. 102)
