Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: Our response to the ape's doom, once touched by authentic tragedy, is now marked by relief that this wretchedly excessive movie is finally over.
Fresh: Kong is a showy, state-of-the-art popcorn movie, faithful to the spirit of the 1933 original but generously adrenalized with the best effects money can buy.
Fresh: One hundred eighty-seven minutes of mesmerization, astonishment, thrills, chills, spills, kills and ills, Peter Jackson's big monkey picture show is certainly the best popular entertainment of the year.
Fresh: It clocks in at over three hours, but Peter Jackson's remake of the 1933 classic is gripping nonetheless.
Customer Reviews
Awesome!!!!
I know that some people say it is too long, but I did not care because this film stayed true to the original film (I hope Apple places it on iTunes soon). This is what awesome means. I hope that anyone who sees this movie can enjoy it as much as I have.
Wish These Extra Scenes Were In The Original Version!
Great movie and usually stuff that's cut out is for a good reason not these scenes they're awesome! More dinos and creatures and more kong!
Kong
Gotta love this movie. Although it was rather long, the added scenes are definitely worth it, and even pay homage to the original movie, as well as showing several other denizens of Skull Island.
