n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

I have absolutely never seen anything like this movie before. You have to see this movie.

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

The dark-skinned inhabitants of skull island apparently have long been trying to appease the huge, fearsome Kong, by sending him beautiful dark-skinned ladies to do with as he pleases. But we never find out what Kong does with them. They seem to just disappear. What - what - has Kong done with them? It looks like the islanders are thinking that maybe a white lady will get better results? Make Kong happier? Appease him more? So they kidnap one from a ship that has happend to moor in their harbor. Wow! Wow! That did the trick. Kong is obviously keen on this particular lady. He carries her around everywhere. He protects her from every danger that presents itself. He undresses her. Not sure what he's thinking - she is awfully small.Few reviewers seem to realize that the last words, spoken by Carl Denham, "it was beauty killed the beast," are spoken disingenuously. He came up with the idea just a short while before, when speaking to "the boys from the press." One of the reporters, after hearing how the Kong followed Miss Darrow back to the village, looks at Miss Darrow and says "beauty and the beast, huh?" To which Mr Denham replies: "that's it; play up that angle. Kong could have stayed safe where he was, but he couldn't stay away from beauty." It is spin, propaganda, said more to pique the public's interest, sell papers, and sell tickets to see Kong, rather than to inform the public of the truth.It's a Barnham and Baily world; just as phony as it could be. It was people in airplanes, with guns, that killed Kong. If Kong hadn't been so stuck on a white woman, who knows, they might have found some Other way to kill him.

This is a monumental achievement. The level they took it to back in 1933 is so impressive. And for me, it still holds up today. And Fay Wray...my goodness. One a beauty. And what a scream queen. This movie has it all: action, adventure, horror, suspense, comedy, and a tragic love story. 10/10 easy.

Whether it's the movie poster or the year that it was made that makes you think twice, don't let it. This movie truly is a must watch because I think it beats Jack Black and his 3 and half hour movie out of the park. It's so simple yet complex because for the time period this is a tough movie to pull off and they did. Yeah, the story may be rushed compared to the newer one but that's because it's only an hour and forty minutes. The story still brings you right into the action and keeps you interested, the monkey may not be all that realistic but for how early in film history it is, it's decent. The camera staying stationary for the entire film makes it easy for us follow along and watch the scene as a whole and not forcing us to focus on one thing. I also recommend watching the color version of it, it makes it so much more appealing because the costumes and colors in it are very pretty.

King Kong, a 1933 precode film and the brainchild of Merian C. Cooper was a technological masterpiece of it's time. Following a traditional plot, the movie's exposition takes place as a director searches for a final shooting location. Very much on accident, the film crew ends up on a sort of Jurrasic Park oriented island. Here it's worth noting, King Kong inspired many future films, and as a product of a simpler time, it wouldn't have been such a stretch of the imagination to believe a story such as this one might have some truth to it. No other movies had the technological capacity for special effects of this amplitude. Just to believe in the ability of the film industry to produce an idea of this caliber was extraordinary. Key plot concepts borrow the damsel in distress cliché and blow it to astronomical proportions.
