Pluskylang Great Film overall

Curapedi 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.

BeSummers Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.

Jenna Walter The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

George Taylor Still one of the greatest movies of all time, this is totally enjoyable from it's opening scene to it's last. Be honest, who doesn't feel bad for Kong? What was he doing that was so terrible? The real villain in this movie is greedy Carl Denham. He couldn't be happy just shooting film of Kong, no he had to wrench the poor beast from the only home he'd ever known. The SFX, by the late, great Willis O'Brien still stand up today and this film is even decades later, still worth watching. Sheer brilliance, it should never be remade again.

mrushkoski Considered to be the fifth greatest horror movie of all time, 1933's King Kong lives up to its reputation. Although it's special effects are primitive compared to today's standards it's utilization of stop motion, giving Kong the ability to appear to be moving on his own, is second to none for a 1930s horror film.

gullwing592003 The depression 1930's saw some of the most innovative & groundbreaking movies that left audiences stunned & blown out of their minds. I can only imagine audiences being shocked out of their skulls at the first sight of King Kong in 1933. The arrival of sound & talkies were a new thing & just a few years earlier films like Dracula, Frankenstein, The Mummy, White Zombie, Island of Lost Souls & Mystery Of The Wax Museum had created a startling sensation to1930's audiences. And then came this earth shaking monster classic, it is a perfectly done masterpiece, the action & special effects & stop motion animation & storytelling & superb excellent cast & throbbing music score & direction & fast pacing makes this a winner in every aspect. It is exceedingly well done & still holds up today. Fay Wray, Robert Armstrong , Bruce Cabot & Noble Johnson are in top form & give standout performances. King Kong was well received in 1933 & is still watchable today I can't count how many times I've seen it. It's a film that can be viewed over & over. I have this on VHS & I've seen it on the big screen. This movie is so great it can impress a modern audience it's that good. Still packs a wallop after all these years & decades. It's unbeatable ! ! !

Noel Charbonnier As i am not usually hot to see these kind of movies, only my curiosity drove me to the theater thinking to myself what sort of crap this 1933 picture must be. Boy, was i wrong! As the film goes on my eyes went from surprises to surprises how some scenes were so spectaculars in this early years of cinema. They did not have these «special effects» movie lovers enjoy to-day and that is why that «piece of crap» was really an extract of genius, a forerunner, or a film before its time, which certainly gave ideas and lead the way to develop all categories of special effects our eyes benefit to-day. Thanks to the technical genius, producers and director of King Kong 1933, who was the King of them all!Noël Charbonnier
