More than a remake, Peter Jackson's KING KONG is a re-telling of a classic story updated for today's audiences. Much the way BATMAN BEGINS used very precise and logical dialogue to explain certain nuances of that film's hero, Jackson totally envelopes... Full review

Certainly, the film's CGI-star (whose body movements were provided by Andy Serkis, who performed similar duties for Golum in LORD OF THE RIGNS) outshines the live-action cast.....undermines the impact of many scenes....Naomi Watts is good enough in the Fay Wray role....Peter Jackson's remake of the 1933 classic is a loving homage.... ...
