This is one of the most groundbreaking examples of stop-motion animation in history. It's pre-Code, too!

Enjoy!

Well that was kind of fun. This movie was pretty stupid but it was still fun to watch. Here's a review:

As I just said, this movie was pretty cool. I'm not a big science fiction/ horror/ monster movie fan, but this is one of the earliest and most famous movies that fits all those genres. For those that know absolutely nothing about anything, King Kong tells the story of a giant gorilla. More stuff happens, but that's a good enough summary. The plot was pretty stupid but fun at the same time. While watching the movie it didn't really matter that the plot was so incredibly unrealistic and simple.

This movie stars Fay Wray and some other people. The star of course is Kong who is nothing but a puppet or something like that. As for the actual actors, they're nothing special. Fay Wray pretty much does nothing but scream the entire second half of this film. The other actors are okay, too I guess but nothing great. Calling the acting average is probably being a little generous. It didn't really matter though, that's not what this film was about.

Basically, this film takes an average at best plot with acting that's no better than mediocre and turns it into a pretty good movie. The special effects in this movie are phenomenal considering it was made in 1933. While the stop-animation did look fake, it didn't look that fake. You know how it's done while watching, but if you can look past that you can almost feel like this was really happening. Not quite, but almost. Despite the fact almost everything about this movie is stupid, it doesn't matter. If you look past all the flaws it's actually quite fun.

80/100

UP NEXT: I don't know. The other two movies I wanted to watch this weekend both run over three hours and I'm not sure I'm in the mood for a movie that long. We'll see.

It is a fun movie to watch


I give it a 75.


Not the best or the worst movie;


But it is entertaining.

Kind of like Superman 2 Movie I was watching on CBC last night.

Too bad they edited the part at the end where Clark Kent beats up that trucker [ who beat him earlier in the movie when he gave up his Superman Powers because he was in love with Lois]


I like when he slides him across the diner counter, landing him in the pin ball machine.



CBC Sucks for editing it

This movie annoys me because all that woman does is scream. I just want her to die.

Like you wouldn't scream if King Kong was after you

LOL probably, but dude, she's annoying

She is!

I be running fast after Kong was after me

Thanks for the tip


I forget that!



Can't run forever

Climb a tree... and then scream... forever

Climb a tree?


If Kong can climb the Empire State Building, what makes you think he can't climb a tree

Thanks Soulrat!

I be dead if did that!

That is messed up!

Makes me glad Dinosaurs are extinct!

Remember Jurrasic Park? There are people that claim you could do that in real life!


Why would you want to?

I could never figure that out

But they would eat us!


We have to kill them all and make them extinct again


Not like they could live at the Detroit Zoo

LOL yeah, well, except for that

Saber tooth Tigers could live in a Zoo.

Those would be cool!

the new ones better butthe old one i will watch every now and again

The new King Kong (starring Jack Black and Naomi Watts) was much better.

It is amazing how far special effects have come in the past....oh, 75 years!!

the new king kong is good and the best part is when they go to the island king kong fights a t-rex and he takes the t-rexs jaw and snaps it in half and shoves it down his throut
