In watching this movie, and I'm talking about actually scrutinizing it intently, I was shocked at the amount and the extremity of the violence that was in the picture. Natives were being bitten, swallowed and purposely stepped upon by Kong. The sailors were chased, trampled and eaten by the dinosaurs and then we have all the New York City violence on top of it all where Kong tosses a woman to her death and bites on a bystander. Also, for it being an 85+ year old movie, the special effects STI…

Shown recently by the BBC and wow, how fantastically this has stood the test of time. I can see why there have been so many remakes of this iconic tale of ambition, power and true love but none that shine a candle to this - even after over 80 years. Robert Armstrong and Fay Wray do their bit as the producer and the starlet, but the true stars are lighting, photography and special effects which are masterful as we visit this ancient island divided by a great wall (how on earth did the natives eve…

It reached for the stars visually, it grabbed one, and it told an amazing story along with it. It was a win on every front. So, now, when peop…

77/100 Giant ape on isolated island brought back to NYC. Chaos ensues. I've seen clips and have heard about this film my entire life but I've never just sat down and watched it. My goodness! Not only did this exceed my expectations, it's downright gruesome. Kong chomping on people, people bouncing as they hit the bottom of a canyon, bloody monster fights, etc. They pulled out all the stops and I would suspect that the viewer's sensibilities of the era where quite traumatized. The sexual mores…
