Don't forget to get the BONUS DISC. Its loaded with extras on Willis O' Brien and his work on Creation, an unfinished film, the spider pit sequence that is missing from the King Kong movie, and all the history and background about the "making of" King Kong. All well worth seeing for the die hard KING KONG fan. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

I hope the latest version of this movie does it justice, and appears it will. The one from the 70s was terrible.... Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

Read More This film was disappointing after all the praise that has been lavished upon it. I have to say that the genius who made this film a classic was not Merian C. Cooper, who was just average, but Willis O'Brien, the master stop motion pioneer. This film would have been better if he had been allowed more control. The spider pit sequence is truly a sad loss. And while Kong is marvelous as a stop motion creation, he's a joke when he's represented by giant puppets. And of course, the writing ain't great. The more I thought about this film, the more the flaws dragged my appraisal of it down. It's such a shame. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

Read More Probably an absolutely great movie in 1933, but it's now the 21st century and the 2005 version is far superior in terms of its intensity, suspense, character development (including the relationship between Kong and Ann), and, of course, its special effects. Worth a look at this 1933 movie because of its historical significance, but be certain to see the 2005 version which is outstanding! Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||
