A Solid 4-Star Film

Date of Review:  Dec 14, 2005
The Bottom Line: King Kong is worth checking out.
Review: Hubby and I just got back from the much anticipated King Kong. The good news is that it was nowhere near as bad as I feared it might be. The bad news is that it wasn t nearly as good as it could have been. Overall, though, this was a pretty...

King Kong rules.

Date of Review:  Dec 17, 2005
The Bottom Line: You can't have a much better time at the movies.
Review: As the follow-up to his epic Lord of the Rings Trilogy, director Peter Jackson chose one of the few stories that might be able to rival Tolkien's work in scope, a King Kong remake bigger and badder than either of its predecessors.

The...

Adventures in Apey-Sitting: Jackson overwhelms Kong

Date of Review:  Dec 29, 2005
The Bottom Line: While not stellar King Kong (2005) achieves its "blockbuster" status. It has faults but it never flags in its efforts to entertain. CGI of King Kong makes it all worthwhile.
Review: Having viewed TCM's run of King Kong (1933) the night before going to a local screening of Peter Jackson's latest version I went into the theater expecting intermittent homage, productions values gone berserk and a modest amount of overkill in the...

Peter Jackson?s King Kong

Date of Review:  Jan 24, 2006
The Bottom Line: A good movie, just not a classic.
Review: This is Peter Jackson s remake of the classic King Kong. This movie is not a story about a big ape nor a love story like we have seen in the past. Rather it is about greed and what greed can do to those caught up in its path. Unlike its...

King Kong (2005)

Date of Review:  Apr 21, 2006
The Bottom Line: The Bottom Line is jealous of King Kong for getting Naomi Watts.
Review: Watching a film like King Kong months after its release is perhaps a far more honest way to view (and review) the flim. Far away from the hype and hoopla, the advertising blitz and fast food tie-ins, the geeking fanboys and fawning critics, the...

One Kong To Rule Them All

Date of Review:  Dec 17, 2005
The Bottom Line: One Kong to find them......or her.
Review: And that it does.

This movie is so full of action that it feels like riding a roller coaster about 150 times. The moment they land on Skull Island it's time to fasten your seat belts.

It's 1930's depression in New York City and...

Kong - King or Donkey?

Date of Review:  Dec 15, 2005
The Bottom Line: Unfortunately, Peter Jackson's King Kong turns out to be a real disappointment.
Review: King Kong has been done before, of course (the most famous and probably definitive version being done way back in 1933) though I have no bias towards previous version as I don t recall ever seeing them (though I m pretty sure I must have done). The...

King Suckerino!

Date of Review:  Dec 17, 2005
The Bottom Line: There are people out there who will love this film, which should have been shown during the summer. For me, it was bloated and mostly pointless.
Review: I'm not going to mince words. I hated Peter Jackson's King Kong. This rendition of the 1933 classic is technically more appealing, and light years ahead of the 1976 remake, but it's also the longest. Clocking in at a mere 3 hours and 14 minutes,...

How Many Remakes is This? King Kong 2005

Date of Review:  Dec 29, 2007
The Bottom Line: If you're a fan of the King Kong story and love movies with lots of action and astounding special effects this is the one to watch
Review: Has anyone else noticed there are an awful lot of remakes coming out lately? I suppose it s hard to miss. Here with yet another remake is the 2005 version of King Kong. Frankly I have absolutely no idea how many different versions of this movie are...

The Moose Hole - Not Exactly The Eighth Wonder But Close Enough

Date of Review:  Mar 8, 2006
The Bottom Line: Hollywood would do well in taking notes on this film as it demonstrates firmly how a remake should properly be made
Review: No one could have possibly imagined just a scant number of years ago that director Peter Jackson, remembered prior to 2001 for his low-budget horror pictures, would become the highest paid director in motion picture history? Or, more importantly,...
