Kuhusu filamu hii

Academy Award-winner Peter Jackson directs King Kong, bringing his sweeping cinematic vision to the iconic story of the gigantic ape-monster captured in the wilds and brought to civilization where he meets his tragic fate. In this smash hit, critically-acclaimed version, it is Academy Award®-nominee Naomi Watts' "beauty killed the beast." Featuring stunning visual effects and an awe-inspiring recreation of 1930s New York City, this finely crafted masterwork also stars Oscar-winner Adrian Brody and Jack Black.

...including fighting to stay awake during first hour of the movie. Plot has been done before, of course, but I gave the film a shot anticipating amazing visual effects (which it had), but not much of it . I would say it is worth the time to watch once if you had nothing to do better for a few hours, but then avoid wasting any more of your life watching it again.

I have to admit, 4 stars because the original still the best. However, Mr Jackson's remake is superb in the visual while adding little touches here and there that expanded upon the first movie. Not only because of the visual wonders of the fxs but because the actors really live up to their billings. Shot of applause for Ms watts for such a subtle performance that in others hands would have been the usual damsel in distress. And thanks for adding that scene down in that revere where that got me on the edge.

I loved the movie (this was the first time EVER watching a King Kong movie), but I absolutely hate Jack Black. He plays the same character in pretty much every movie. Other than that, this was a really enjoyable movie to watch and I was hooked until the very end.
