King Kong (2005)

Description
In 1933 New York, an overly ambitious movie producer films his next project aboard an ocean vessel en route to Skull Island, an uncharted island he discovered on a rare map, telling the cast and crew they're traveling to Singapore. At the island, they encounter Kong, a giant ape who is immediately smitten with leading actress Ann Darrow.

Every now and then, an undertaking like Kong comes around, and it underscores the truly extraordinary accomplishment of directing a film.

The movie is a good cautionary example of what happens when its maker is too close to the material, who can't see the forest for the trees, the story for the ape.

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.

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.

As it is a remake, it doesn't have the shock Lord Of The Rings possessed upon its release, but this is a beautiful beast of a B-movie, thrilling and touching.

It clocks in at over three hours, but Peter Jackson's remake of the 1933 classic is gripping nonetheless.

Kong has heart, and he's willing to show it in a movie made with wit, excitement and moments of visionary beauty.

Peter Jackson's remake of the 1933 classic is a loving homage that recreates and updates many of the familiar sequences... Unfortunately, the recreation leaves one wondering what, exactly, the point of the film is, other than indulging the director...

It takes a while to get everybody to Skull Island, about 70 minutes, but it's time extremely well-spent.

King Kong isn't terrible, but it's something that none of Jackson's previous movies ever was -- it's enervating.
