Iconic, textbook monster flick. If you’ve ever enjoyed a blockbuster, you can thank this film
Far more enjoyable than I was expecting. Kong will forever remain King of the Empire State Building.
That’s a real nice Empire State Building you got there. Be a shame if a giant monkey were to climb on top of it.
A product of its era, Kong is sympathetic after being taken from his environment, although ironically, portrait of Africans is insulting.
The sheer gratuitous spectacle makes up for a slow beginning.
An instant classic. Revisiting this is always a treasure, especially with not only how historic it is, but for its novelty in the B&W era.
Un verdadero clasico, cuando el cine se convirtio en arte.
Effects are dated, but interesting for its time. A fun watch even after only seeing the remake up until now.
A tragedy that suffers from stilted characters and stereotypes, but makes up with its use of stop motion and live action together.
Really great creature feature from the 30s…stop motion holds up really well
