this movie rox! i luv it!i cried lik 4 times and i would see it again and again not to mention it was funny! the dinosaurs fallin was halarious i laughed sooo loud lol!! it was great so every1 see it!
This Movie is one of the best movies of all time. my only problem with it , it`s a remake. 2005 had so many remakes, like house of wax, herbie fully loaded, the amityville horror, the longest yard, guess who etc. , and now this. but it was extremely good and coul;d of been longer...lol but it is now my second favourite movie...(the first being house of wax!!!!)if you havent seen it go see it now because no matter what those pople say about it being too long or it being cheesy it is awesome!!!(please post this!!!!)mine are never posted-RJH
An entertainig movie! -- The best part was the relationship between Kong and Ann Darrow ---- very touching at times --- Kong himself was incredible as a Special Effect -- a few scenes I could of done without: the Dinosaur stampede -- way too long and PLEASE! -- They all should of been trampled -- no way anyone survives that! --- and while the ice scene was touching it was a bit implausible as presented ( it was winter for heaven`s sake and Ann is out there in a summer party dress and shows Zero effect from the cold !). A better length would of been at around the 2 to 2 1/2 hrs. range . But !- overall -- 4 out of 5 stars
it was the best
King Kong, is king of the best and what king doesn`t have a queen. This movie is what hollywood is all about making you feel something and transporting you somewhere else for 3 short hours. Peter Jackson and his crew did an excellent job. King Kong comes alive, he is the show.
Boooo! This movie was horrible. Acting was bad, story was bad, graphics were bad. In short bad. I can`t believe people cried, and I am a cryer. I just wanted him to die so the movie would be over. And it was creepy that they showed more chemistry between the animal and human than between the two humans, and the scene when they are in the park on the ice, cheese fest. If you have a brain don`t see it unless you want to lose a few brain cells from stupidity and boredom.
ok movie not great could have taken out atleast 25mins of staredowns between a women and a gorilla! Waaaaaaaaaaaaaay to long but good special effects.
This movie was a disappointment. It was way too cheesy and the ending went on forever. I think Peter Jackson should stop focusing on the special effects and work on a better story line and better character development. Although certain parts were done well and the ending did make me sad. Beginning was good also. PLEASE post this, i never get mine posted!
This movie was absolutely phenomenal!!!!! I cried from middle to end. It depicted the most serene love encounter between two souls. King Kong simply wanted to do was watch the sunset, enjoy the beauty of the world, with the one whom he loved, and reside in the confines of his environment. He was a beast with a sensitive spirit. This was the preeminance of films, thus far.
This movie blows...worst casting....and in some scenes he looked huge and in some seans he looked like might joe young - MK critic
This movie would be okay if it was shortend by 1 1/2 hours. Too Too Long.
It`s a must see on the BIG screen & it doesn`t even feel like 3 hours!
I couldn`t even make it throuugh this dreadful movie they took at most 90 minutes of material and painfully drug it out too over 3 hours terrible choice this movie may have been watchable at 2 hours but three just is too much.
worst movie ever
wonderful! worth every minute! worth every dollar! a must see on the big screen!
Your kidding me.... don`t waste your time or money!! Typical Hollywood film... get off the "crack" Peter. Way to over done.
IT WAS GREAT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
For the most part this was an excellent remake. A little over the top at times & it could have done with maybe half of the gore. I would not recommend it for younger viewers as some scenes were quite frightening. Naomi Watts & Adrien Brody did a marvelous job, so did Jack Black, I hated him...lol
Kong was "OK" but not great. The effects were good. The entire movie would`ve been more enjoyable if the ENTIRE dinosaur sequence was left on the cutting room floor... the stampede scene was nothing less than stupid
I ENJOYED IT! This is the best remake of King Kong. Aside from this movie and the 1933 original, the only other movie I enjoyed watching was the Japanese version, "King Kong versus Godzilla". Seen this movie twice in the theater because of the battle, so-called wrestling match between the two. Great entertainment. Peter Jackson`s King Kong was wonderfully done, filled with some emotional scenes, especially the bond and relationship between Ann Darrow and King Kong, something that was missing in the original movie. Maybe it was somewhat long, but it still captured the feeling of the original. I was still saddened and felt a sense of tear
Visually stunning, a worthy remake, worth every minute!
King Kong sets a new standard for film remakes!
Good movie-some drawn out scenes-didn`t feel like 3 hrs-Andy Serkis deserves an Oscar nod.
King Kong was the best movie of 2005 - hands down. The only problem is that some auidences may have a problem with the length of the movie. Even though Peter Jackson has lost all the weight, he still seems that have a problem cutting the fat from his films...
The original King Kong is a great story. It has been made in more than one good movies in the past. This one, in every aspest, is the worst and most terribily done. It is so bad that I am afraid it may have killed the legend of King Kong.
It was a pretty awsome movie...even though it was 3 hours long it really didnt seem that long. the only thing that i didnt really like is the beginning because it was kinda slow...but overall pretty good.
"Long and boring" Psch as if!! BEST GOSH DARN MOVIE OF THIS YEAR.. or last year if you want to get technical... but yes its got like dinosaures that go.. "grrr" and its all like .. COOL!!!
One of the best movie I`ve seen in a long time. The graphics were just remarkable. I suggest everyone to see this movie.
I Like it

Special effects sucks! Overall a very depressing movie.
Better than my expectation.

The special effects were well done, however the suspension of disbelief required for the never ending dinosaur attacks was beyond belief for me. Ideal movie for the masses.
a bit too long.. they didn`t need to be on the island for so long. but the silent connection was caputured beautifully! I never expected this film to be so amazing.. it completely exceed my expectations! It has landed a spot on my favourite`s list. -AJ
GREAT MOVIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I thought It was good, I loved it. The creepy dark people scared me lol. It was scary and sad.. Very good. Even though its three hours long.. I encourage all to see it. It was good!! _chLoee
Really good movie but it was too long in certain parts of the movie.
great movie, aside from all the blasphemic cussing.
**CAUTION - SPOILERS** This is a rental that should be saved for a big-screen-tv - sorry, Peter Jackson. Unless you specifically want to see the Kong-sized effects in a theatre, wait for the rental. This is so long and drawn out that I was literally dozing off after the first hour, then went out for popcorn at the 2-hour mark to keep myself awake. There are so many unnecessary pauses and emotive close-ups that the first two hours drag the story into oblivion before Kong ever shows his face. Once you (finally!) arrive on the island, it turns into what looks like an attempt at "Lord of the Rings meets Jurassic Park" - slow-mo visuals, cave d
King Kong was a pretty decent movie, however at 3 hours long quite a tiresome movie. I felt a lil tired near the end though this movie is a great aritistic endeavour. =) i recommend this movie because its entertaining but a tad long for my personal taste.
v nice movie... really enjoy it...but rather sad when King Kong died at the end. Would rather they return him to the Mother Nature instead.
ABSOLUTLY AMAZING...THE BUGS PART WAS A LITTLE TOO MUCH BUT THE MOVIE OVERALL WAS INCREDIBLE...EVERONE SHOULD GO SEE IT ...
I LOVE IT!!! made me cry at the end... even tho i know how it will end.. i stil cried.. its so good!! 3 hrs? haha.. well at least its never dull.. just long..
Very well done movie, effects were awesome. Kong looked amazing. Very far fetched. Keep think yeah right. Very long looked at my watch a couple time, if you wanna see cool effects go see it. Otherwise watch for it to come out on video.
