The original King Kong was the first big budget special effects movie. By today’s standards it’s crude, boring and unbelievable; however, in 1933 it was a huge hit. The technology used in making this film was a huge leap forward. Many... Full review

It also allows for dramatic and expanded dinosaur encounters on Skull Island, and several touching and humorous scenes between Ann and Kong.
The visual effects are spotty some are amazing, others obvious but no more so than most films nowadays.

Seeing happy Kong is one of those things I just never thought I'd see.
It is most definitely my 2nd favorite KING KONG film.
What is precious about the original Kong is that everyone respects Kong.
I love this KING KONG.
