Despite its various deficiencies and occasionally antiquated style, King Kong remains not only a milestone of movie-making, but a magical experience.

Many people would argue by saying this is a terrible film based on the "King Kong' franchise, but I have to say I have always enjoyed and loved this version. Maybe it's because it's one of the first films I saw when I was a little boy, but after viewing ...

I've seen all the King Kong movies.... The 1933 version, this one, King Kong Lives, Son of Kong and the new 2005 remake of King Kong. I must say that out of all of them, this is by far the best one. I absolutely love this movie from beginning to end. We ...
