King Kong (2005) Movie Review | Peter Jackson | Naomi Watts | Adrian Brody | Jack Black | Bad Movies | Cinema de Merde (898 words)
This film makes a point of avoiding that big first reveal of Kong, letting him appear in an understated way, and the effect is to spread that “wow” feeling at looking at him all throughout the movie, rather than blowing it all on the first shot.
Where this movie is completely different is that this Kong is completely expressive [yes, we can argue that the 1933 Kong was expressive, but even so there’s no comparison to the range of facial expression here].
KING KONG [1976] is pure cheese, but still kind of cool and can offer comparing / contrasting fun with this one.
King Kong (2005) Movie Review - The Hollywood News (1603 words)
King Kong is a true spectacle of a motion picture.
Furthermore, Black’s Denham is somewhat the selfish prick in the movie, but he is who he is in the name of his art, and for what it’s worth, Black is able to lend a little likability to the role.
Kong’s battle with a pack of T-Rex’s is breathtaking, and the climactic scaling of the Empire State Building is absolutely stunning.
