King Kong for the 1970s. Jessica Lange joins the ranks of eros-inspiring leading ladies for this one. It's also nice that a very scruffy Jeff Bridges didn't have to shave in order to get the girl (you'd never see a leading man with long hair and a full beard in today's films). Aside from that, it's well put together, though the film has always had a political-correctness issue that this version does nothing to address. Over all, it is worth watching for anyone who's a fan of King Kong and/or Seventies cinema.

I liked the original version much better, but the animation in this movie was good enough to make me watch it through it's entirety.

Not as good as the original but it gets an honorable mention for trying. Could have used more monster fight scenes. (I think their is only one, a giant snake) but made up for it when horny Kong tears off Jessica Langs top and you get a nice nip shot. Kind of cool using the World Trade Center and cobra helicopters instead of the Empire State Building and Bi Planes. Worth the rent if you got the time. I guess.

If you have every seen the original, do not watch this movie for it is a waste of time! The original did not want to use a man in a gorilla suit for they thought it would look to "fake" in 1933...this much later version thought the gorilla suit looks real enough for them.... I gave it one star just because the show features the "Twin Towers".

This is the worse version of King Kong I have seen out of all three versions. If you are ever interested in King Kong at all watch either the 1933 or 2005 version. Do not watch this version. There is no T-Rex fight at all. That really dissapointed me.
