Peter Jackson's Return of the King...Kong

Date of Review:  Dec 19, 2005
The Bottom Line: Peter Jackson's take on King Kong gets a recommendation from someone unfamiliar with the original.
Review: As will be the case with a small majority of the potential viewers of King Kong, I wanted to see the film for the sole reason that Peter Jackson, the world famous directer known almost solely for his skill in directing and writing the epic Lord of...

The Eighth Wonder of the World! KING KONG

Date of Review:  May 4, 2009
The Bottom Line: A true modern classic in the fullest sense of the word. A monster epic about an epic monster.
Review: King Kong (2005) Directed by Peter Jackson

"And lo, the beast looked upon the face of beauty, and beauty stayed his hand. And from that day forward, he was as one dead." Carl Denham

Peter Jackson is a man of vision, a man with dreams,...

King Kong is back

Date of Review:  Jan 29, 2006
The Bottom Line: It's a good classic! Everybody has got to see King Kong sometime or another!
Review: King Kong is a classic. I'll admit it! But suprisingly, this movie goes hand in hand with book and comic adventures. Now that has both positive and negative aspects to it.

Main Plot:

A film crew goes to a tropical island (Skull...

Excellence in Execution

Date of Review:  Mar 12, 2006
The Bottom Line: 6 outta 5 stars. The original 1933 Kong returns in the best special effects film since Jurassic Park (1993). MUST SEE
Review: Growing up as a kid, my father subjected me to what most of my peers thought was mindless torture by forcing me to watch old films. Truth is, I came to love classics like The Time Machine and King Kong . I've noticed that a good number of old films...

Disappointed

Date of Review:  Jun 10, 2006
Review: I was disappointed. It could've been really good; they certainly had the resources to make great special effects, but effects alone can't carry a movie, especially when they're not used well. There's just not a good movie here in the first place to...

Thrilling spectacle and a rousing good time!

Date of Review:  Jun 22, 2008
The Bottom Line: Peter Jackson's loving homage to a bygone era made a stirring seque to some of the most exciting action scenes I've seen.
Review: I am capable of liking and admiring movies of all shapes and sizes. A well-written and acted "indie" can satisfy me on a deep level. But sometimes nothing fits the bill for movie thrills better than an outstanding, outsized epic. The kind of movie...

Overhyped, oversized, overblown... overall crap

Date of Review:  Mar 4, 2006
The Bottom Line: Don't bother. Simple as. Save your money for Final Destination 3 or something.
Review: A silence settled over the cinema. An advert had just been displayed that has torn peoples eyes out, and launched a vicious attack on one's "must see" senses. Nobody even had to read the title, since the sight of a gigantic gorilla battering the...

Peter Jackson's "King Kong" - One Man's Review

Date of Review:  Jan 3, 2006
The Bottom Line: Peter Jackson's "King Kong" is action-packed, thrilling, touching, and a very well-crafted film. It didn't need to be as long as it is, but I still heartily recommend it.
Review: Although it's been out for several weeks, I have just recently had the opportunity to view one of the winter's most anticipated films, King Kong, as envisioned and remade by director Peter Jackson, best known for the Lord of the Rings trilogy.

An excellent remake to be sure

Date of Review:  Jul 31, 2008
The Bottom Line: I highly recomend this to any and everyone
Review: Now everybody knows the remake isn't quite as good as the original and this is almost always true but this movie really gives the original kong a run for the money or should i say banana? Well anyway the movie is absolutly fantastic, great action...

Flawed spectacle, spectacularly flawed

Date of Review:  Jan 2, 2007
The Bottom Line: This film looks great, but that's about it. The violence, from the people and the animals, make it inappropriate for younger children.
Review: Story(?): Would-be epic film-maker Carl Denham is having trouble making a good movie, much less a great one, but he is determined to become great (and rich and famous). He has a plan, and a map to a supposedly-otherwise-uncharted island, Skull...
