Memorable remake of the 1933 classic. Very well made and outstanding for Peter Jackson, especially when he was making that movie with The Lord of the Rings at the same time. The movie is definately a must see, though at times... Full review

I watched this movie only to compare it to the old one. It was a great movie in respect to where the movie ended up. The beginning was slow and everything that you want to see will happen when they arrive... Full review
'KONG' IS MEZMERIZING

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

Possibly the worst film in years

This film really closes the book on Peter Jackson as a director-the movie is UNBELIEVABLE: unbelievably bad. The story has now gone to an overblown 3 hours of BS; CGI everywhere to cover up the fact that they have very little... Full review

In that sense, King Kong succeeds.....The original King Kong suffers from no such dullness or overindulgence.....And yet, it's a pretty solid little adventure movie, with a really interesting performance from Wray.....his previous movies have lacked the romance angle that reels audiences in.....In the many years since I embraced the film as a youngster, so many advances have been made in the film technology.... ...

AM EDT T he big ape is the hero in Peter Jackson's remake of the classic 1933 film.....Despite the fact most critics panned the film, the special effects are astounding and fantastically detailed (don't be surprised if the spider cave scenes cause the kids to have nightmares).....there is much to admire about Jackson's version of the story, which, like the original, is divided into three set pieces..... ...

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.... ...

Explore the fascinating production of this unforgettable film through conceptual artist renderings (extended version only).....King Kong is the story of a desperate young actress, Ann Darrow (Naomi Watts), and an ambitious and unscrupulous movie producer, Carl Denham (Jack Black), who travel to a mysterious jungle island.....Director and producer Jackson co-wrote the update on the classic 1933 film with his longtime collaborators and fellow 2007 Oscar winners Fran Walsh and Philippa Boyens.....Pick your fav ...
