This movie made me actually want to get up and leave. I have never actually wanted to leave a film out of disgust before. I have hated movies, I have watched really fucking bad movies before, but this was terrible. It took everything I hate about Hollywood movies. It took bad angles, bad acting, bad motion cg, bad lighting, took a good budget and a good plot, and completely ruined it.

"Ladies and Gentlemen... I give you... KONG! THE EIGHTH WONDER OF THE WORLD!"

Due to his work on the much-acclaimed live-action Lord of the Rings trilogy, Peter Jackson's name has become synonymous with the word "epic". Following his sojourn into Middle Earth, the question on everyone's mind was simple: where could Mr. Jackson go next? His decision to helm a reimagining of King Kong... read more

The Downs: Too much computer effects that ruin the story and make it too much spectacle and not much of an emotion. Kong is probably a better creation on film than the stop-motion effects in 1933 but he lacks totally a personality a"
