Movie Reviews (part 5) (50 movies items)

" The Ups: It is full of legendary action pieces. Monster vs. monster fights, the gorilla with the girl in his hand while getting hunted in New York. It was really the first true blockbuster effects movie. Add beautiful Fay Wray into the mix as the damsel in distress who forever will be the most gorgeous scream queen. The Downs: There will never be any better Kong than this."
