Review of King Kong (1976) by Cristian M — 05 Nov 2013

Kong! The 8th wonder of the world! In the hands of The Lord of the Rings Trilogy director, Peter Jackson! Better than the original? Worse than the original?

Peter Jackson directs his version of the mighty ape which is basically the same just more stuff added to it and a way longer time run. 3hrs to be exact.

But does that make the movie bad? Not necessarily but doesn't make the story better either. It has more action and gives certain characters more character development. Especially Kong who does have feelings and emotions being the ape that he is.

Peter Jackson also directs this flick very well, especially the scene where Kong verses the T-Rex's. Yup. Rex's. He fights not one, not two, but THREE Trexs. Now that's badass.

Overall the film is actually enjoyable if you can get passed that it's 3 hours long. Good movie and a good remake of the classic 8th wonder of the world.
