Peter Jackson’s King Kong is the real deal.
-
The fact that King Kong makes me bawl my eyes out every time i see it says everything. I feel just like Anne in the movie, floored, flattened by the big guys horrible death. The scenes between Anne and Kong are just beautiful and poetic. I start crying toward the end when Kong mimicks Annes unwitting sign language for "Beautiful."

There's so much heart in this. Beautiful essay, my friend.

Peter Jackson’s King Kong is one of my favorite movies of all time
-
the fact it was directed in New Zealand by Peter Jackson in my country was amazing this King Kong was the best version.
-
This is my favorite King Kong movie since Peter Jackson directed Lord of the Rings.

I Remember seeing it in theaters back in december 2005 and i was six

This isnt just a monster movie, every time I watch this movie Im left feeling something...that doesnt happen with most movies let alone a "monster flick"...that last line "twas beauty that killed the beast" always makes me ponder what this movie is really saying...and its a great classic movie you can watch on a sunday afternoon with the family...without a doubt head and shoulders above 90 % of other movies

Amazing work- your final words on fate and the exploration of such complex, human questions are exactly what adventure films like this should inspire in all of us!!! Games pretty sick, too.
-
Excellent points throughout this vid! This is my personal favourite recent King Kong film, even with its tremendous length. Even now, it would make a great half of a double bill with Godzilla Minus One.

Such a great explanation video. You have made me a fan.

This is I my very humble opinion, one of the greatest films of all time. It's not just a movie, it's an incredible epic story. He took what he had from LOTR and brought it to another incredible STORY. That's how he is incredible, he brings indescribable epic stories to a physical viewing we couldn't imagine ourselves. And as a hot take, one of, if THE BEST Jack Balck performances ever.

I remember watching this when I was younger and completely loving it especially the ice skating scene and the tower scene. Like I wanted to be her so bad 😭. Anyway, I felt that this movie had a heart and it wasn’t just made for money.

Peter Jackson's King Kong is easily the best version of King Kong even after seeing him in the monsterverse

It's certainly the best remake of a film- you can tell how much they loved the original.

I like the 2005 version as well.

If there is a movie that is in dire need of a sequel or spinoff, it is Peter Jackson's King Kong.
