King Kong is Peter Jackson's first movie since completing The Lord of the rings trilogy. Once again Jackson proves himself as a master of filmmaking. While not as epic, or as good, as the Lord of the Rings, King Kong certainly is a masterpiece. Some have argued that this movie is driven by little other than it's special effects. The special effects are astounding, and plentiful, but there's no question that this is a character-driven film. A considerably large portion of the three-hour movie is used to establish the characters, during which time we see neither Skull Island or the great primate himself.
My favorite things about the movie: Naomi Watts, James Newton Howard's score, and the action hero Bruce Baxter (played by the guy from the TV show Early Edition). Jack Black is PERFECT as the obsessed filmmaker.
Also I liked the ending, where Jackson portrays neither King Kong nor the pilots that shoot him down as evil. We sympathize with King Kong yet realize the necessity of killing the beast. The long running time can be a turn-off for repeated viewing, but if its the first time you will not be bored.

This is a masterpiece of the cinema. I found the casting perfect, including Jack Black. Yes, Naomi Watts screams a lot but man, wouldn't you scream if a giant ape were staring you in the face? And the creatures only get worse from there. The "relationship" Ann Darrow has to have with the ape is touching, as much as it can be. She is, afterall, totally dependent on him for survival. Many people have wondered what the ape is gonna do with the "bride" and clearly to Kong, his brides are his toys, novelties. I won't give a synopsis of the story because everyone knows it & I don't understand why people do that on here and on IMDB but this is a must see for movie lovers.

I enjoyed the original King Kong but this remake with Naomi Watts, Adrian Brody and Jack Black is one of the best. I have many remakes of other films that I've put on the shelf because they can't top the originals. This version of King Kong has made its way through many a household since I have loaned it out to any and all who care to view it and possibly buy it for their own collection.

This film makes Kong so lifelike you'd swear he was real. With scenes worthy and reminiscent of "Jurassic Park" and action similiar to an "Indiana Jones" movie wrapped up in amazing sets and costumes it's one you'll want to see more than once and share with your friends. The strange "love story" endures better than ever as the classic technology vs. nature theme unfolds. I'd rate this as a "must have" for the DVD library.

This remake of the 1933 classic film surpasses in many ways. First, the excellent direction by Peter Jackson and the script and also the stars Naomi Watts & Jack Black. Jackson has re-imagined the film with its references to "Heart of Darkness" while paying homage to the earlier film by bringing the setting back to the Depression. Also Watts has never been more sympathetic than in this film and Jack Black is a comic delight as the con man/director Denham. As for Adrian Brody, he was okay but did not stand out as much as Watts or Black. I have this in HD-DVD and it is definitely reference quality so until Universal makes the switch to Blu-ray in their selections, you can get this film at a premium price in HD (as low as $10). The jungle scenes plus the finale in NYC are phenomenal in HD!! Recommended for all Kong enthusiasts and lovers of fantasy!!
