| movie review: King Kong
The original is a classic. It is always a bad idea to try and redo a classic. Watch the second King Kong made in 1976 and you will see what I mean.
That being said, I must say there is an exception to every rule.......
This movie is a must see. I went into it with a lot of skepticism: I am not a Jack Black fan and I think CGI is way overused. I was swayed on both counts. Peter Jackson (the director) obviously is a big fan of the original movie. While sticking to the story he elaborates a bit more by showing the bond between Ann and Kong. You do not get that funny squeemish feeling of something odd about a 25 foot gorilla being infatuated with a normal sized woman. While it doesn't explain where or how Kong came to be it does show that there was more than one at some time. While it is violent, it is not gory. It let's your mind do that for you. All in all it is by far the best movie I have seen in a very long time. Now if only I could invent a death ray to use on those morons who have cell phones and small children.........
