This is just not acceptable from Amazon. Why are the DVD's I just bought all looked like they've been used?? I bought 300 for DVD and it has a bunch of fingerprints on it. This one has smears like if it was washed by a dish washer. I bought this brand new (Suppose) I guess not! There's no mention in the description that this is a refurblished product. Just NOT ACCEPTABLE! DO NOT BUY DVD'S from Amazon.

Great special effects but most big movies do these days. Nothing special about the story and there's really nothing to recommend it over the original but it is a good evening's entertainment.

Merian Cooper directed the original 1933 King Kong, and if he were alive to see Peter Jackson's version, I guarantee he'd say:
"Boy do I wish we could have done it this way."
Interestingly tho, the idea of Ann Darrow eventually warming to and becoming attached to Kong seems to be a creation of the 1976 version. I've watched the original many times, and although there is an obvious obsession in Kong for Ann Darrow, it appears to be one way. Everyone in the original seems to pretty much regard Kong as a monster to be feared, battled, or exploited. In the 30s, and long afterward, sentiment towards the preservation of irreplaceable creatures had not developed much, if at all.
In Jackson's version, I highly enjoyed the relaxed intro in New York. I was dazzled by every sequence on the island, and felt the full effect of the emotional hammer he brought down on us for the ending sequences.
This movie is absolutely true to the spirit of the original, showing an unusual reverence in a remake for its predecessor. If you liked the original Kong, and especially if you first saw it as a child, you will love this one.
There is no need to over analyze this movie. It was not made for depth of art, altho that is not ignored in the film. It was made as a flat out "watch me and enjoy", with a bit of "try to keep your jaw up" thrown in.
Just as an afterthought, to dispute a few other posts I have read, Jack Black was great in this film, and COMPLETELY on top of his role. Altho the character itself is undeniably shallow, Black's depth of performance is far superior to either Robert Armstrong in the original, or Charles Grodin's in the '76 release.

...for my mother actually.
And the more you watch it the less it dazzles you. King Kong was a great character: He was humorous, smart, silly, and very caring.
As far as the story goes though, King Kong loved the dame in this and fell in love with picking her up after a fall to knock her down over and over again. That was the funniest part in the movie! :^)
The actors did a fairly decent job of bringing the characters to live and the action kept you glued but you won't wanna watch this one over and over again.
The action is mostly in the jungle where all of these sick creatures live and call it home.

I bought this edition only for the gift, and I was really really satisfied with this edition the art of King Kong on the top of the Empire State building is awesome.
About the movie only in the first disc I appreciate the extended edition movie, it was a great effects with more creatures on the island, but nothing relevant to the story.
