The film was rushed out to capitalise on its predecessor, with none of the subtext, but the animation is up to scratch, the action and direction efficient, and there is a nice melancholy to Denham’s regret for his previous conduct, which aptly prolongs the mournfulness of the original’s ending.

The film does offer some witty opening scenes depicting Carl Denham hounded by creditors following Kong's Gotham rampage. But the remainder of the film is sometimes laughably bad, and much of the dialogue is dated in a way that is not charming at all. [20 Sept 1987, p.36]
