Do you guys think that this movie has an Extended Edition or just normal? Because I would like to watch 3 hours and 20 minutes (Extended Edition) better than the original.

This original King Kong film was a favorite film for both my friends and I when we were growing up. In my case for the first viewing, my grandfather took several of us to see it, over the protests of our parents, - so that adds a special…

WARNING: This is a review of the 2005 "King Kong," not the 1933 original.
Enterprising fans will undoubtedly find a way to upload the 188-minute Peter Jackson film and trim it down to a more dynamic running time. As it stands, the film…

Everyone expected that Jack Black, playing the entrepreneur who organizes an expedition to ‘Skull Island’ while ducking from creditors, would channel Jackson into his performance, but the surprise is that he plays the character like a…
WARNING: My review of the 1933 Kong seems to have been filed under both the old Kong and the new Peter Jackson remake. I'll do one of the remake later. But this one pertains only to the one and only original KING KONG.
The 1933…

This version of King Kong is a classic, it may be a monster movie but it has something that most of the other versions of the story don't have- heart. The story is basically a take on the timeless story of Beauty and the Beast but it is a…
Small plot hole in the movie.
Sure they caught him, but it never explained how depleted hard bitten crew move him, chain him and feed him from island back to civilization.

Sure, some of the animation is impressive considering when it was released, but the writing is weak. It's clear to me what the themes are *supposed* to be in the story of King Kong, but there is just nothing more going on here than a bunch…

This movie is very artistic. Very beautiful cinematography. The theme about love, greed, adventure, I’ve found interesting although rather unrealistic. Nevertheless, this is a beautiful movie.

Going into this movie I had written papers about the lead animator, willis obrien, three or four times. Everyone wants you to believe that the monster effects are incredible when they're really just not? That being said, if you look…

The classic adventure movie has undergone considerable restoration. If you thought it was too hazy before, just keep your eyes open when Fay Wray falls into the water, and see what you think. I can answer a later commenter (mammothhawk),…

Hi, gang.
The movie in a moment, but first: to respond to some other commenters' questions and comments:
There have been 3 versions of King Kong. The first 1933 from a relatively small studio, RKO; the second, 1976, a more…

The triumph of this film? I cannot watch Kong died. Willis O'Brian gives more than life to Kong -he gives nobility and a soul. Of course it doesn't hurt that Kong's the best actor in the film, match only by (IF you pay attention and…

Good Try BUT: Making Ann a thief (she does steals the apple) violates the premise of the original (Ann, even though starving, can't bring herself to steal. She's that (now) much maligned creature: A Good Girl.) And by going overboard in…

(*Movie quote*) - "It was beauty who killed the beast!"
Every once in a while I like to re-watch 1933's "King Kong". And each time that I do I never find myself bored nor disappointed. Never.
And - Yeah. OK. The visual effects here…
Valiant effort but the lesser to 1933's version. One day I sat watching it and mused as the Venture moved out of New York harbor, "I wonder how that looks in black and white?" Pulled out the color and a richer much more involving film…
