Title: Both King Kongs (1933-2005) are masterpieces of their time.
Review: Each King Kong film was a period piece. The original being life-like even though Willis O’Brien had created King Kong by using several different stop motion models with live action. In the real 1930’s, the natural reaction of a woman held captive by a giant gorilla, would of course be terror. Ann Darrow was too terrified of all the dinosaurs, snakes, archaeopteryxes, and King Kong himself on Skull Island, to be appreciative to King Kong for saving her life so, she screams herself into exhaustion while fainting, no matter what happens to her. Ann Darrow was absolutely relieved after King Kongs demise. Quite realistic by 1930âs standards.However, in the ersatz 1930âs used in 2005, by Peter Jackson, the giant gorilla looks/acts more realistic, with todayâs CGI effects. With the onset of animal rights groups, and more of an understanding of a Gorillaâs personality, Ann Darrow here, screams at first, but then uses her wits/talents as a performer and beautiful woman, to entertain, amuse, charm, and finally shows complete appreciation/adoration, to king Kong, for constantly saving her life. She also feels a protective connection with him as a result. Only 2005âs Ann Darrow knew she could tame King Kong, where back in 1933âs original version, Ann Darrow was too terrified to think all of this out; so again, her only recourse was to scream hysterically, leaving King Kongâs only impression of her as a very beautiful woman. Ann Darrow here, is very upset/saddened and emotionally drained , by King Kongâs demise. Quite realistic by 2005âs standards.Both King Kongs (1933-2005) are masterpieces of their time.

Title: Simply Amazing
Review: Peter Jackson has followed up his wonderful “Lord of the Rings” trilogy with an astounding remake of of King Kong that will leave you spellbound.Jack Black stars as Carl Denham, a movie producer who is going to make a movie aboard a ship. However, he secretly wants to find the uncharted Skull Island. Unfortunately for Carl, his leading lady has disappeared, leaving his movie venture up in the air. Naomi Watts stars as Ann Darrow, a struggling vaudeville actress who has just lost her most recent job due to the closing of the club where she was working. By chance, Carl and Ann meet, and Carl offers the job of his leading lady role to her. Ann accepts, and soon the members of the movie crew, including script writer Jack Driscoll (Adrien Brody) are on the S.S Venture bound for Singapore; or at least that was the plan.Filming starts on Carl’s movie, but while on board , the ship’s captain receives a message that there is a warrant for Carl’s arrest. He is to change his course and head for Rangoon. However, the ship encounters a dense fog bank and it slams into the rocky coast of an island. Skull Island.Carl, Ann, Jack, and the others set off to explore the island. Soon, they run across some blood-thirsty natives who succeed in killing several members of the party. The ship’s captain comes to the resuce in the nick of time, and everyone heads back to the S.S. Venture to prepare to set sail once high tide frees them from the rocks. But, the natives manage to board the ship undetected and kidnap Ann.Ann is bound and tied to a wooden rack and offered as a sacrifice to an amazing and mythical creature; a huge gorilla called King Kong. Kong scoops up Ann in his huge hand and bounds away. The others aboard the S.S. Venture soon realize that Ann is missing and head back to the island to rescue her. But, Ann soon realizes that Kong doesn’t intend to harm her. In fact, she begins to like him as well. But the determined crewmembers are intent on getting Ann back no matter what the cost.Fierce fighting breaks out on the island as Kong fights against crewmembers and creatures alike, including three T-Rexs who try to kill Ann. The fight sequence between Kong and the dinosaurs is one of the best sequences of the entire film. Jack, having had his movie camera smashed to bits during one of the chases, comes up with another idea. He wants to capture Kong and bring him back to the mainland and make a fortune on admission fees. With the help of the remaining members of the Venture’s crew, they manage to sedate the mighty Kong and bring him back to New York City.Soon, Jack is standing before a packed auditorium with the curtain drawn. The curtain goes up, and there is Kong, shackled with heavy iron chains. Kong is still sedated, so at first he doesn’t do too much. But when he realizes that the girl brought onstage is not Ann, he goes beserk, rips off his chains, and goes on a rampage through the streets of New York. Meanwhile, at a nearby club, Ann hears the commotion in the streets. She sees one of Jack’s promotional flyers blow by her window, and she immediately knows what’s happening. She walks out into the night to find Kong.Once together, Ann and Kong somehow end up on an ice skating pond, with Kong laughing and playing on the ice. However, this carefree moment is short-lived, as the New York National Guard finds them and begins shooting artillery at Kong. Scooping Ann up in his hand, Kong heads for higher ground, namely, the top of the Empire State Building. Kong, seeming to know what his ultimate fate will be, scales the building until he reaches the top, all the while carefully carrying Ann in his hand like a newborn. Once on top and having suffered numerous hits from the guns of airplanes buzzing around them, Kong and Ann share a final, tender moment.This is a tremendous film, and it deserves much more than five stars. The special effects are simply out of this world. The scenes on top of the Empire State Building are the best in the movie, with Kong swatting planes out of the sky like mosquitos. But beyond the special effects, the story is very good, and touching as well. The relationship between Kong and Ann is very moving, and you can see how much Kong cares for her by the way he protects her from danger throughout the movie. The final scene on top of the Empire State Building is probably the most moving scene in the film. Kong, resigned to his fate, makes sure right up until the very end, that Ann is safe.I give this movie my highest recommendation. The special effects will blow you away, but what will keep you watching is the touching and genuine relationship between a beautiful woman and a large but caring gorilla. Enjoy.

Review: I cried like a baby which was unexpected but not out of character for me lol the ending got me good. Very entertaining movie. Starts a little slow and feel like the first act could have been shorter. It doesnât feel entirely necessary to the plot but good nonetheless
