King Kong Submit your own review for this movie

King Kong

The 1933 classic is reborn in a stupendous remake by Peter "Lord of the Rings" Jackson. Naomi Watts shines as the actress bound in an emotional bond with the doomed great ape. But it's action - the non-stop physical wizardry is possibly the best ever committed to celluloid - that really grips. A rare thing - an action movie that breaks the heart, dazzles the eye (with Oscar-winning visual effects) and engages the mind.

Movie rating: 5 star rating.  - unmissable.

Peter Jackson's King Kong is one of the most passionate films I've ever layed my eyes on in all my 16 years of living. I love how Jackson has created the special bond between Naomi Watts and Kong, in the scenes throughout the film you can tell they have a special relationship. It's in their eyes, their hearts and their souls. The visual effects created epecially within the "Insect Pit" scene are truly magnificant looking on the screen. That scene is visually perfectionised I would personally say

This movie is amazing! I think I've watched it about 5 times within the last 2 weeks!! Even though everyone knows what happens at the end, the exhilarating action scenes, and the beautifully portrayed relationship between Ann Darrow and Kong keep you hooked. Also, Jack Black's performance as Carl Denham is outstanding, as it is far removed from his usual comic roles. The effects are incredible! This movie is a must-see!

I loved this movie - it was awesome. One question though: after they knock Kong out how do they get him on the boat?

There is no justice that this film received such a snub from the Oscars - even more so that Andy Serkis was NOT nominated at least for best actor for this role. I leave my stand at that, best film of the year with no doubt WHATSOEVER. Sky, please bring it to our screens soon!!

The greatest movie I've ever seen. It's got everything - love, beauty, action and adventure and even a tiny bit of comedy/horror.

This film is so good it could be the best action movie yet. The special effects are awesome, the story is good and Kong looks amazing. A film that has you on the edge of your seat.

Absolutely fantastic film. I thought the CGI was great - the insects made my skin crawl. The relationship between Ann Darrow and Kong was portrayed so beautifully. I was bawling my eyes during the Empire State Building scene. Anybody would be mad to miss this. I was left heartbroken!

Simply the best film I`ve seen since the Return of the King. Forget Star Wars Episode III, Harry Potter and Narnia. This is something else!

Peter Jackson lives his dream! With breathtaking CGI & genuinely scary scenes, it keeps you on the edge of your seat and maintains the true epic feel of his works to date.

Although I did enjoy the movie I wasn't impressed with the CGI effects. There were too many flaws. Watch this film twice and you'll discover hundreds more. Quantity over quality! Watch Jurassic Park a hundred times and it is still hard to believe that the creatures are not real.

Peter Jackson has once again delivered an amazing movie.In this case, I believe PJ has produced a movie which far exceeds the original. The relationship and emotions portrayed between Ann Darrow and King Kong have been perfectly captured, something that was rushed and lacking in the original.

One of the greatest films ever made. Great special effects, real drama and action make the three hours just whizz by.

Peter Jackson made a brilliant and outstanding movie, called The Lord of thee Rings. This will be second best.
