Action is nice. A 20 minute scene of Kong "ice-skating"? Not so much

mi ricordi beli momenti questo film. non so a te ?

One of my favorites. Simple but so beautiful! Filmmakers did an excellent job with creating strong and beauty characters.

After seeing it a second time, it was a bit more enjoyable. Heck, King Kong actually makes you forget that Jack Black was a focus in this film!

I saw this on TV and was utterly disappointed with the length of the film, the pacing, and the acting. The effects were ok, but nothing as to what was advertised.

A little longer than it should be, otherwise a great remake.

It may look infinitely better on a big screen than a TV, but thanks largely to his brilliant FX team, Peter Jackson's remake of the classic monster movie is still a sight to behold.

The lengthy second act in particular, set on the prehistoric Skull Island, is strikingly beautiful. But with such a high risk of being bogged down by CG trickery, the saviour of this film is Naomi Watts, whose performance is remarkably convincing considering her leading man is a green-screen. She single-handedly carries the unlikely love story on her shoulders, and establishes a sincere emotional connection with the digital beast that is essential to evoking the audience's sympathy. Credit also motion-capture performer Andy Serkis who effectively embodies ape-like characteristics with just the right touch of humanity necessary to make Kong a believable character. With loads of over-the-top action, high adventure, and (most importantly) a simple yet moving love story, "King Kong" is popcorn entertainment at its finest. Don't forget to catch the 1933 original, which retains its own unique charm.

Peter Jackson's remake is as much a tribute to the old, seat-of-the-pants spirit of early motion pictures as it is an exercise in technological bravura.

Jackson is a visionary filmmaker who is not only a technical wizard but also a master storyteller.

However jawdropping the big effects (there's a dinosaur stampede and some giant white worms who suck men into their squishy maws), they're tenderly elbowed aside by scenes of tender intimacy.

Here is the jaw-dropping, eye-popping, heart-stopping movie epic we've been waiting for all year.
