Peter Jackson revisits the classic creature feature for this spectacular remake.
A 2hr59mins movie brings you victory. All the hard work that Peter Jackson has done brings a 5 star rating movie.
I watched this movie in the cinemas because of the lord of the rings and of Peter Jackson's directing.
Adrien Brody, Jamie Bell, Thomas Kretschmann, Andy Serkis and Kyle Chandler were so good with their acting. Colin Hanks was dreadful.
Basicilly, the movie is all about the actual ape Kong. Carl Denham (Jack Black) asks Ann Darrow (Naomi Watts) to come with him and his friends, Jack Driscoll (Adrien brody, Lumpy (Andy Serkis), Bruce Baxter and (Kyle Chandler)Preston (Colin Hanks)Once they discover Skull Island, an island with prehistoric creautures. King Kong, an ape gets Ann and the job is to rescue her. Carl Denham is money-orriantated and kidnaps Kong to take back to New York and become a millionaire along with his mates.
Watch this movie as quick as you can as you will enjoy it all the way through.
Watch it as soon as you can!Please! 10/10
I have watched this film over and over again. Even though it is 3 hours long,this film proves to be a big success and i would recommend it to ANYBODY. I must admit that the first hour of the film is slightly boring and could put people off the but the last 2 hours of the film are great with amazimg special effects.
I have just simply rented this film so far, but it is my intention to buy the 2 disc version soon.
In general terms I would really recommend this movie to any action adventure fans,or any other interested movie watcher, however I have only a few minor criticsims or points of inaccuracy in it are as follows;-
1)The dinosaur action scenes verus King Kong are rather inaccurate,as the large and very heavy Sauropods could probably only manage at best 4 -5 mph, not the high speed stampede.
T rex would have most likely have won the fight between King Kong and himself.After his first bite into Kong's arm which would have serverd it, causing major shock and blood loss, and thereafter death after a short time, wherein T rex would then devour King Kong at leisure.It is also believed that T rex had a very high sense of smell (2 miles or more), and most likely the ability to sprint short distances at over 20 mph, no contest!
In my opinion the biplane flying sequences at the end of the movie are spoiled too. When the pilots and planes attack King Kong on top of The Empire State Building, the speed of the planes' flight has been speeded up too much in computer generated graphics for effect,sadly losing valuable realism to the closing scenes.
Although the movie is a little long at around three hours it is overall a very good movie with great character buildup and depth, could well become regarded as a classic one day.
I hope I have helped.

Epic remake of the adventure classic from acclaimed director Peter Jackson. In Depression-era New York, unscrupulous filmmaker Carl Denham (Jack Black) is desperate to find a leading lady for his new picture. After a chance encounter, naive actress Ann Darrow (Naomi Watts) takes the role, and travels with Denham and sensitive scriptwriter Jack Driscoll (Adrien Brody) to the mysterious Skull Island, deep in the Indian Ocean. There the filmmakers discover a secret, savage civilisation that time forgot, and that worships a terrifying, gigantic ape called Kong (a motion-capture performance from Andy Serkis). When Ann is captured to be sacrificed to Kong, the ape becomes obsessed with her. Denham uses this obsession to help capture Kong and transport him back to New York, where he hopes he can make a fortune from exhibiting the creature. But after Kong escapes, the ape unleashes his awesome power against the city in an attempt to find Ann, the woman he truly loves, leading to a tragic conclusion atop the Empire State Building.
Please note this is a region 2 DVD and will require a region 2 (Europe) or region Free DVD Player in order to play. Despite his origins as a low-budget filmmaker with a taste for the unsavoury side of life, Peter Jackson has turned into an event filmmaker someone who can conjure up a movie on a scale unlike anything we've seen before. KING KONG is his sprawling, epic remake of Merian C. Cooper and Ernest B. Schoedsack's 1933 movie of the same name, and it is as big as the gorilla that runs riot through Jackson's rendering of Depression-era New York. Keeping the simple yet effective plot intact a film crew travels to the mysterious Skull Island, picks up Kong, and brings him back to New York City Jackson expands on this basic premise by drawing on the jaw-dropping talents of his special effects team to satisfy his thirst for the grand spectacle. The movie posits Naomi Watts as Ann Darrow, the starry-eyed blonde beauty whom Kong falls for; Jack Black as Carl Denham, a low-rent Orson Welles look-alike who drags the crew to the island to make his movie; and Adrian Brody as Jack Driscoll, a hack playwright who battles Kong both physically and for Darrow's heart. As the men struggle against Kong and the lumbering dinosaurs of Skull Island, Andy Serkis, who made the character of Gollum so believable in the Lord of the Rings trilogy, steps in to form the facial features of the mighty gorilla, lending a real emotional sucker-punch to the scenes between Darrow and Kong. But it's the final third of the movie where Jackson really delivers; his 1930s New York is stunning, and when Kong breaks free from his shackles and stampedes on a lovelorn trek through the city, then iconically climbs the Empire State Building with his sweetheart, it's impossible to not be swept away by the sheer beauty and sadness of the moment. While its three-hour length may prove daunting to some, the payoff in Jackson's KING KONG is ultimately worth it, proving once again that he is a director of breathtaking vision.
