King Kong

The Bottom Line: An overlong, draggy rendition of the old King Kong movie with year 2000 CGI. Not worth writing home about.

Review: King Kong (2005)

I'd watched the original 1933 King Kong on DVD not long ago so I had a good idea in mind of exactly what I'd liked about it and was impressed by Faye Wray's good looks and the solid performances of all the major players...

The Bottom Line: Only view this movie when you want to waste some time.

Review: I watched this movie to see exactly how it would be since the original film is such a classic of American cinema. To say the least I was very disappointed.The beginning drags on and on. How much does someone really need to know about the background...

The Bottom Line: It's a big movie, an honorable adaptation of the incredible classic horror adventure, and definitely worth experiencing on the big screen.

Review: Peter Jackson's King Kong is like an Expanded Edition of the 1933 original. There is even more adventure on Skull Island in particular. Thanks to the high-tech (though still imperfect) finesse of today's FX technology Kong and his fellow islanders...

The Bottom Line: Always amazing and entertaining because of it's wild imagination in storytelling and overall production. You see not only a thrilling movie, but history being made with passion.

Review: The original and classic King Kong is finally available on DVD for the first time ever, beautifully restored with remarkable detail. The extraordinary 1933 film drew record-breaking crowds out of the depression and defined the modern imaginative...

The Bottom Line: This film looks great, but that's about it. The violence, from the people and the animals, make it inappropriate for younger children.

Review: Story(?): Would-be epic film-maker Carl Denham is having trouble making a good movie, much less a great one, but he is determined to become great (and rich and famous). He has a plan, and a map to a supposedly-otherwise-uncharted island, Skull...

The Bottom Line: I highly recomend this to any and everyone

Review: Now everybody knows the remake isn't quite as good as the original and this is almost always true but this movie really gives the original kong a run for the money or should i say banana? Well anyway the movie is absolutly fantastic, great action...

The Bottom Line: Peter Jackson's "King Kong" is action-packed, thrilling, touching, and a very well-crafted film. It didn't need to be as long as it is, but I still heartily recommend it.

Review: Although it's been out for several weeks, I have just recently had the opportunity to view one of the winter's most anticipated films, King Kong, as envisioned and remade by director Peter Jackson, best known for the Lord of the Rings trilogy.
