Review of King Kong (2005) by Stanley C — 20 Dec 2016

King Kong is a glorious remake with true special effects that without surprise won Academy Award for Best Visual Effects, even if Peter Jackson's hesitation of pace makes it exhausting to watch entirely at once.

Jackson even put in a SEPARATE slow dancing stage act in the middle of the stage show that Kong is chained to, and the chatter and acting on the boat for the 1st hour aren't as exhilarating as the dinosaurs and airplanes fighting Kong to the death.

Either way, at least here Ann felt miserably sad over Kong getting killed at the end, in the original she couldn't bear to be Kong's bride no matter what, so therefore this movie is much closer to the Beauty and Beast folk tale that inspired the racial interpretation Americans have always looked down on interracial marriage between black males and white females.
