Review of King Kong (1976) by Max G — 24 Oct 2013

Although I thought the dialogue was contrived at times with Jack Black's performance, this Peter Jackson remake is at least slightly more emotionally invested than what the 1933 version offered within the human characters.

The visual effects are notably as entirely mind-blowing throughout for this modern era in cinema as the '33 one was for it's era, but this time with intense photo-realism on not just the giant gorilla and dinos, but also the insects and bats as a new addition.

What I wish to have seen in this version was the gorilla turning on it's own tribal worshipers as the '33 one depicted plus the dead gorilla seen falling down from the Empire State from a far away camera angle instead of a close top-down view.
