Sorry, Windthorpe, I couldn't disagree with you more. This King Kong is so much better than it's predecessors, with the exception of the original on which it was based, that it makes earlier efforts pale in comparison. It isn't without flaw mind you, but the pompous critic who trashed this film in the San Diego Reader critic's column doesn't know $#!+ from Shinola, IMHO.

Why do you think there has to be a right and wrong on this? It's entertainment and to use the term very loosely, art. It's subjective.
The review is just a viewpoint and to me one that is more reasonable than any praise of that mess. You enjoyed it -- great. I did not. I found it impossibly boring and pointless, bad filmmaking. There was very little story and so much wrong with it. Am I WRONG? Please.

  ...review, IMHO; you should've described your experience rather than tossing in the dismissive "amen" as your curt response. That's why I responded as I did.
  You certainly have a right to differ with my viewpoint, but having seen these films I'm left with the unavoidable conclusion that your opinion and that of the reviewer's is in error regarding Kong's decline from production to production. For anyone to even attempt to rank the lousy 70's Dino Delaurentis King Kong above Peter Jackson's magnificent effort is, shall we say, naive at best.

    I agree with you on that. The PJ film is tons better then the Delauerentis version.
