Kong - King or Donkey?

Date of Review:  Dec 15, 2005
The Bottom Line: Unfortunately, Peter Jackson's King Kong turns out to be a real disappointment.
Review: King Kong has been done before, of course (the most famous and probably definitive version being done way back in 1933) though I have no bias towards previous version as I don t recall ever seeing them (though I m pretty sure I must have done). The...

King Long (But You Won't Notice)

Date of Review:  Dec 29, 2005
The Bottom Line: King Kong rules.
Review: The keyword these days in Hollywood seems to be remakes. More and more classic films, it seems, are being given a makeover, some successfully, some not. The latest (and perhaps greatest) of the lot is King Kong. One wonders in many cases if...

King Kong: Attempt to Remake a Classic Doesn't Quite Cut It

Date of Review:  May 25, 2006
The Bottom Line: This is a decent film with some good points but an equally number of bad points.
Review: Movie remakes just keep coming and coming. Just when I think there can t be anymore of them or that the movie viewing public has had its fill and won t accept them any more, another remake of an old classic is released on the big screen. The most...

King Kong (2005) is Peter Jackson's Newest Masterpiece

Date of Review:  Jan 7, 2006
The Bottom Line: King Kong was a very good movie that I ended up liking much more than I originally thought I would.
Review: In 2005, several remakes of older movies were released. Some were much better than others. Ever since I heard that Peter Jackson was planning to make a new version of King Kong I was interested in seeing the movie even though I never saw the...

King Kong --- Peter Jackson Directed, Starring Adrien Brody, Jack Black, and Naomi Watts

Date of Review:  Dec 18, 2005
The Bottom Line: This version of the 1933 classic fails in just about every aspect of being a good film.
Review: Everyone knows the story of King Kong. A group of people go to an uncharted island and discover something unexpected: A giant Ape. The ape is brought back to New York City, and mayhem ensues. We all know the story, we all know how it ends, and yet...

King Kong - Most Disappointing Movie Release of 2005

Date of Review:  Dec 20, 2005
The Bottom Line: Peter Jackson will still win awards for this, yet it's such a disappointment.
Review: Peter Jackson took the world by a blazing storm with his masterful Lord of the Rings movies. So when I heard that he was directing a remake of the 1930 s classic King Kong, I began to look forward to it very much. The hype for Peter Jackson s remake...

Not a good day to be blond in New York

Date of Review:  Dec 19, 2005
The Bottom Line: I love this story. But it doesn?t bear up under a three-hour treatment.
Review: I m just a moviegoer with a keyboard who s lost his motivation.

King Kong starts off as a movie about a movie, and this self-awareness adds a lot of humor, especially if you re familiar with Merian Cooper s 1933 original. Jack Black plays...

King Kong (2005)

Date of Review:  Apr 21, 2006
The Bottom Line: The Bottom Line is jealous of King Kong for getting Naomi Watts.
Review: Watching a film like King Kong months after its release is perhaps a far more honest way to view (and review) the flim. Far away from the hype and hoopla, the advertising blitz and fast food tie-ins, the geeking fanboys and fawning critics, the...

King Kong rules.

Date of Review:  Dec 17, 2005
The Bottom Line: You can't have a much better time at the movies.
Review: As the follow-up to his epic Lord of the Rings Trilogy, director Peter Jackson chose one of the few stories that might be able to rival Tolkien's work in scope, a King Kong remake bigger and badder than either of its predecessors.

The...

King Kong... BIGGER, BADDER, & a Loveable Vegetarian (Kong Double-Feature Pt. 2)

Date of Review:  Dec 14, 2005
The Bottom Line: Peter Jackson's Remake/Homage of King Kong is An Amazing Masterpiece/Tribute to the Original Film led by Fantastic Performances of Kong & Naomi Watts.
Review:
In 1933, a movie that pushed the limits of special effects, action, and entertainment called King Kong about a giant ape who befriends a young woman only to be captured and terrorize New York City. Since its release, King Kong has become an...
