Review of King Kong (2005) by John S — 07 Jul 2018

Unlike the sour audience score, Peter Jackson's remake of the legendary classic isn't bad by any means, as a matter of fact it is actually better than the original in one very important way: it provides Kong with enough screentime and character moments alongside Ann Darrow to make his death seem tragic and overly sorrowfull, in an almost Shakesperian manner.

Then again, however unfortunate it may seem, the film is ultimately overwhelmed by it's grandiose and awe inspiring spectacle, which is all topped off with an abundance of long.

Action scenes, that just make something about the film not sit right in your stomach. (My bad, it's your head that I am trying to talk about.).

My grade for the film: a solid B at the least.
