The Worst Film Ever

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

The Harvey Weinstein of kaiju films - also known as the creepiest kaiju movie ever made. Seriously, it straight up goes there. The whole King Kong liking the ladies is a definitely an understatement in this film. This film literally reduces Kong to the level of a stalker, a peeping Tom, and frankly a ra$pist. This film was made back in the days when people took LSD like it was candy and thought disco was a good idea, this film is an abomination. Anyway, the film has some action but nothing great or even worth watching. The animatronic face of King Kong is actually really well done - too bad it is mainly used to creep us out thanks to Kong's one track mind. The Kong suit is goofy. Oh, I should note that this is the first King Kong movie to ever feature King Kong wearing a crown. Yeah, LSD is a heck of a drug. Anyway, this concl

Obviously the original will be one of the best films of all time but this reboot is an interesting point of view of the classic story. But, why does so many people hate this film? maybe because in most of the descriptions of this film say its a "remake" instead of a re imagine.

Dino de Laurentiis' terrible remake of the 1933 classic that stands as a pretty big turd stain on his reputation. The plot to the original film is mostly the same here, with some minor (unnecessary) changes. This one starts out with an expedition led by Charles Grodin to find oil on an island that remains perpetually shrouded in fog. Along the way stowaway paleontologist Jeff Bridges and rescued castaway Jessica Lange join the expedition. Soon they're on the island and, well, you probably know what happens next.The script is courtesy of Lorenzo Semple, a writer of some respectability who dabbled in camp (he wrote for the '60s Batman TV series and also wrote the screenplays for Flash Gordon, Sheena, and the Raquel Welch "classic" Fathom). So throughout the film there's a not-so-subtle amount of nose-thumbing going on that's kind of insulting to fans of the original movie. To add more insult, the special effects for Kong basically consist of Rick Baker in an ape suit and an overpriced mechanical ape seen briefly here and there. Of the cast, Jeff Bridges comes out best. Which is to say he's the only one who goes through the motions without embarrassing himself. Charles Grodin chews scenery as he almost always does. The worst acting by far comes from Jessica Lange in her film debut. Her ditzy actress character "Dwan" is pretty bad on paper but Lange's breathlessly vapid performance just makes it all that much worse. Every scene with her is cringeworthy. The biggest thing that kills the movie is the sheer lack of wonder and imagination. You shouldn't do a movie about King Kong sarcastically or tongue-in-cheek or any of that stuff. It's a fantastic concept and you have to lose yourself in it or it just won't work like it should. 1933 as well as 2005 got it right, but 1976 shat the bed.

As we all know, there are three versions of King Kong. The 1933 version, this version, and the 2005 version by peter Jackson. Jackson's Kong was amazing, 1933 King Kong was meh, and this King Kong is just utter trash. First of all, the story. Boy, does it stink. First of all, the villain is somebody working to drill oil on skull island. What? What did the other king kongs have to do with oil? They didn't! Plus, (my biggest problem in this film) there are no dinosaurs! Dinosaurs are what made the other 2 movies so entertaining. The director of this piece of garbage removed the dinosaurs because "they interfered with the love story". Well, King Kong is not supposed to be a love story! It's an adventure story! Plus, the characters are very weak. Dwan was just a stupid ditz whose attitude got pretty annoying, and the other characters aren't even remotely interesting. Also, the effects stink! Kong is obviously someone in a gorilla suit. I don't even know what more to say. It just stinks. If you want to see a remake of King Kong, see Jackson's version. This is a King Kong you can definitely skip.
