Review of King Kong (2005) by Joey. — 01 Apr 2006
It rises to a 7 only because of the relationship between Naomi Watts and Kong. Their scenes together are as wondrous as any on film. The tenderness and trust and playfulness of these two characters will bring tears to your eyes.
As for the rest of the film, I thought the performances were stiff, the casting choice of the other leads were poor and the action sequences were overwhelming, in other words the money moved far too quickly to develop suspense and allows us to experience Skull Island throught the eyes of the characters.
Without Watts and Kong, this movie would be a 0, a huge dud. But again, their scenes together are well worth the price of admission.
