Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.

ReaderKenka Let's be realistic.

Acensbart Excellent but underrated film

Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

jacobjohntaylor1 This is was not a good idea. To make a remake of a monster movie and make it kid friendly. The original King Kong is one of the scariest movie of all time. And this animated remake is sappy. It has a bunch of awful music numbers. See Son of Kong. That is good movie. If you have seen the original King Kong there is no point to seeing this movie. King Kong vs Godzilla is so such better then this movie. King Kong escapes is also a lot better. The 1976 remake of King Kong is also a lot better. This is a very scary movie. King Kong lives is a lot better. the Animated series of Kong from 2000-2006 is also a lot better. Kong King of Atlats is also a lot better. The King Kong remake from 2005 is very scary. That is also a lot better. Kong Skull island is also a lot better. This movie is just campy. I do not believe in the rating system. If I would a kid to know the story of King Kong. I would shown them any version except this one. It is so stupid. 5.1 is overrating this movie. I give this 4. Do not see it. See any live action version of King Kong do not see this.

TheLittleSongbird The only reason why this isn't a 1 is because of the voice cast, both Dudley Moore and Jodi Benson do play Kong and Anne very well. However, the animation quality is very uneven, the colours are nice and Anne looks lovely but some of the other character designs are wonky and the backgrounds especially after the Skull Island sequence, sequentially the film's best bit, are shoddy. The story meanders at this point too, with subplots that unravel faster than a ball of wool and a romance that feels contrived in alternative to poignant, and when it came to the characters Carl's part is very corny and the cabin boy was completely unnecessary. While most of the dialogue is embarrassing being quite hackneyed, the musical numbers are where the film really falls down. Not only are they not needed but they are very dull and insipid, with Carl's number faring worst mostly because the lyrics were so gut-wrenchingly awful. After seeing this, I have changed my mind which is the worst King Kong movie(initially the 1976 movie), this takes the cake. 2/10 Bethany Cox

mrspock25 Honestly, me being an avid original Kong fan, this film was a disgrace. I can't help but feel that it's just dumbing down an advanced story for a wider audience. If you're like, under the age of 5, like bad songs, and want a more family friendly ending, because Kong dying was too "mean", then you'll love this piece of crap of a movie. So much about the original story is omitted. Kong does no rampaging, he's friendly, and doesn't die at the end. For god's sake, they raped one of the greatest films of all time, and my personal favorite movie of all time! You mother f*ckers! I'll kill you! I'll kill you!!!But i digress.Anyway, the movie blows, if you have any knowledge of the original story and have a non- lobotomized brain. The grittiness that they robbed from the original story just causes the movie to lack any sort of depth. And rather than compliment the story, the songs cheapen it and arrive at abrupt times. If you have a brain, skip this putrid pile of platypus sh*t. You can do without it.

petekrug17 I guess the fact that this film exists would make the upcoming one by Peter Jackson the third KING KONG remake. (After this one and the much under-rated Dino De Laurentis 1976 film.) Instead of appealing to all ages like the live-action KONG films (though some parts in those movies might actually scare the really young ones, especially the '76 remake). Anyway. The key differences here, other than it's done in cartoon, are that the heroine is much more outspoken, there is a cabin boy and his "cute" pet monkey on the ship, (don't ask what they're doing there,) the inclusion of Broadway-type moments where characters break out into song, and, of course, the violence is toned way, way down. In fact, if I remember correctly, (it's been some years since I saw this,) not a single character dies in the entire movie. And I suppose I'm blowing the ending here, but it must be said: at the end of the film, after Kong's battled the fighter biplanes, (somehow without showing a single bloody bullet hole, 'cause, you know, it's a kid's movie,) and falling off the Empire State building, and the line,"'Twas beauty that killed the beast.", guess what? No, Kong DIDN'T die! Yes, the filmmakers decided to tack on a phony happy ending to please the kids. And when Kong turns out to still be alive, (after being shot about a hundred times by the planes and falling off the Empire State building,) the crowd erupts in cheers. Yes, the giant ape that was terrorizing New York just moments earlier is still alive, and everyone's happy about it! Whatever. Unless you have youngsters you think would like this, don't bother unless you're a die-hard KONG completest. (And I mean if your collection includes KING KONG LIVES. Yes, even that notorious bomb just might still be better than this one.)
