Cheyenne_LeonAugust 24, 2024
Cheyenne_LeonAugust 24, 2024This movie's plot is a bit tricky to keep up with, but it does wrap up the whole thing eventually. You just gotta focus on certain parts a bit more. It takes forever to get into the action, and King Kong's debut is way later than you'd think. The movie itself is just too long. The battle scenes are insane, and King Kong's pretty adorable at times, but his face doesn't give off many emotions. And the whole friendship between King Kong and the humans feels a bit cheesy, like they're buds, just because they were both lonely for too long before meeting, so it didn't really tug at my heartstrings.

Cassidy_RobbinsAugust 24, 2024The movie excels in developing the characters and paying attention to detail. King Kong, Ann, and the director who practices fraud just to be famous all show different sides of human nature. But, there are still some problems with handling those characters and details. Even though it's three hours long, some of the main characters' reasons for doing things aren't totally clear.

Dong.SPTMarch 24, 2021The most faithful version to the original story
Directed by Peter Jackson and starred Naomi Watts, Jack Black and Adrien Brody, this new version of "King Kong" has Andy Serkis’s talent to the motion capture of the apes.

This is one of the best movies ever made about the legendary gorilla. Plus, it is proof that Jack Black has a serious acting side outside comedy roles.

King Kong has had many fights through his career, but none of them can be compared to the one in this movie with a T-Rex. One of the best movies about the character.

MagwandMarch 24, 2021A beautiful tribute to the original version
All aspects of this film were designed to highlight Naomi Watts’ performance mastery. A great way to retell one of the classic Hollywood stories.

Amy_JoynerAugust 26, 2024O enredo é um pouco complicado de acompanhar, mas acaba concluindo tudo no final; você só precisa se concentrar um pouco mais em algumas partes. Demora uma eternidade pra entrar na ação e a aparição de King Kong é bem mais tarde do que o esperado. O filme em si é muito longo; as cenas de batalha são insanas, e King Kong é adorável às vezes, mas seu rosto não transmite muitas emoções. E a amizade entre Kong e os humanos é um pouco estranha, como se fossem amigos só porque estavam solitários, então não me emocionou muito.

Owen_DuncanAugust 26, 2024O filme se destaca no desenvolvimento dos personagens e na atenção aos detalhes. King Kong, Ann e o diretor mostram lados diferentes da natureza humana. Mesmo assim, apresenta alguns problemas em lidar com os personagens e detalhes. Embora tenha três horas de duração, as razões dos personagens para fazer algumas coisas não ficam totalmente claras.
