Peter Jackson's re-imagination of King Kong is a swell time to spend three hours. The new vision is stunning and heartfelt--he is influenced by the original work, but brings a new focus to the story.

A lavish long-winded beautiful bore. Compacted with unnecessarily elongated scenes that take away from the central theme. A movie at first you enjoy but are then forced to endure.

Best King Kong by a long shot. Worth watching with a friend and much better than the other ones. King Kong 7.4

"King Kong" is a wonderfully imagined retelling of a cinema icon. Perhaps it's an overlong adventure, but things start ratcheting up once Kong is finally introduced. Excellent filmmaking.

It may have dragged a bit in some parts but Peter Jackson's visually resplendent remake of "King Kong" still resonated well with me in the end.

Very good special effects although the plot line could have used a bit more.

King Kong is petty good in terms of story and acting, but its 187 minute runtime makes it feel like you're watching it for a month. While movies like Lawrence of Arabia and Gone With The Wind may be justifiably long, King Kong isn't.

While some special effects (excluding King Kong himself) are lazily unfinished and its pace can sometimes be problematic, "King Kong" is a solid update of the 1933's picture thanks to talented performances and enthralling direction.
6.5/10

It is the unexplained feeling of watching King Kong . It is epic , a film that merges all of the seventh art styles . In my opinion the best ever made so far.

Very good movie . a remake is not as famous as the 33 ' but even if errors scene brontosaurus stampede and participation of Jack Black in this action adventure movie and drama. This project has taken its format very well.

A good remake of the original. What's so bad about it? Jack Black's in it. Other than that, it's a gorilla taking down a plane holding a woman reminding you how 1933 went by so fast.

Jackson simply plays it seriously, with great love, and it all works. His film is an A+ special effects epic. A real story; something with dramatic purpose, something given actual care and attention.

A tribute/homage for going ape. The first 45 minutes feels some slow but are well compensed with action sequences that not disturb the spirit of the original. The final showdown is spectacular.

This is a one of a kind remake that actually is better than the original. The cast is excellent, the effects are groundbreaking and the emotion is strong. It is a very long film but it is three hours of brilliance.

Wasn't too sure what to expect from this film.
However I wasn't disappointed.
The special effects and story are extremely watchable.
The t-rex fight scene was memorable.
Top cinema offering. Big screen viewing required.

Peter Jackson (for me) has created one of the greatest monster movies of all time. This is hands down the best King Kong movie I have ever watch. I'm going to give King Kong (2005) an A.

I like Jack Black. That is all I can say. The movie was 1/2 cartoon. Some of the scenes were just rediculous Nd not in a good way.

A thoroughly entertaining re-make of a classic story. The CGI is brilliant, but Naomi Watts is the real star here.
It is a long movie and could of been a bit shorter.
