I may be one of the few people who may have prefered the original to this version. But alas technology has gone further then the old stuffed ape puppets of the 1930's. One thing that I must say that this movie was a lot funnier then the original, and therefore worth a watrch

Peter Jackson gave this movie a new twist. I 've seen the old King Kong movies and they're quite great, but this one is exceptional!! The actors and actress Naomi gave the movie its own character and distinct traits from the original story. It fits them so well, but the most remarkable in this movie is KONG. Peter made the beast look like a real, living gorilla, only it's 25 feet tall. The actor who portrayed Kong is great. He gives the beast life, not just its brute strength and uncanny agility, but a heart of beast that is longing for a companion. In his eyes you can see the soul that suffers from the savagery of the island, but his love for Ann, he finds his way to conquer it. There are many scenes in this movie that will capture your heart and even make you cry. It's up for you to see. This movie is worth seeing for. This is a great remake from a great director

"King Kong" has impressive visual effects. That is where the compliments end. The film is incredibly melodramatic, with Peter Jackson slowly drifting towards a character every time we are supposed to "feel" something. The development between Anne and Kong is also ridiculous. If you saw a vicious animal rip apart several people, would you do everything in your power to protect it? I would be terrified for my life personally. Jack Black is miscast, flubs the famous line from the original. Naomi Watts and Adrien Brody have zero chemistry despite the fact they are supposed to be romantically involved. Characters commit actions that violate anything you would believe these characters to do. The famous spider pit scene lost from the original is put in here as a homage, but instead serves as a corner that the filmmakers gets stuck in and manage to get out of through the most laughable and ridiculous means. This film is garbage plain and simple.
