Karry Best movie of this year hands down!

Marketic It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

Catangro After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Stevieboy666 Sequel to the 1976 remake of King Kong. Turns out the giant ape survived, here he is given an artificial heart and falls in love with the recently captured Lady Kong. Things go wrong for the couple when they escape captivity & are pursued by the military. Much of the movie is played with tongue firmly in cheek but it also centres on human - and ape - emotions, i.e. the romance not only between leads Linda Hamilton & Brian Kerwin but also between the male & female Kongs. Special effects vary from reasonable to rubbish - check out the rubber Caiman crocs - but that only adds to the so bad it's fun aspect. Yes, it's an insult to the original 1933 movie but it's also quite easy to watch, just put your brain into neutral first!

utgard14 Laughably bad sequel to the Dino de Laurentiis 1976 version of King Kong, itself an epic ape turd. The ridiculous plot has Kong, having survived the fall at the end of the last film, comatose for ten years needing a heart operation. Problem is they need blood and he's the only giant gorilla around. That is until a female Kong is conveniently discovered by a wannabe Indiana Jones (Brian Kerwin). So he captures it and surgeon Linda Hamilton uses its blood to save Kong. Then Kong and his new girlfriend break free and go on the run together, stopping to eat snakes and moss and have sex. I can't even believe I'm typing this nonsense. This is a movie someone paid to make. What a world.This is awful stuff but it does have some so-bad-it's-good qualities. I can only imagine the room in which the screenwriters wrote this was filled with ganja smoke. Who wants to see a King Kong movie for heart transplants or giant apes falling in love and having babies? Sadly the romance between the apes isn't half as bland as the romance between the humans. Hamilton is fine in her role. She manages to keep a straight face throughout, which I imagine took some doing. She does have a couple of truly pitiful lines, though. Like when she is about to have sex with Brian Kerwin, she says "It's what primates do." For his part playing the man-child love interest who discovers Lady Kong, Kerwin doesn't impress but with the way the part is written he never really could have. The bad guy is Taggart from Beverly Hills Cop. He's really good at playing hard asses. His character's fate is hilarious.Because it's the 80s there are lots of vehicle flips. The special (ha!) effects, courtesy of Carlo Rambaldi, are pathetic. More guy-in-ape-suit silliness. The best things I can say about this stinker are that (1) It has quite a bit of unintended comedy (2) John Scott's score isn't half-bad and (3) Linda Hamilton looks stunning. The cinematographer obviously knew it as his camera lingers on her in every close-up. Best moment? Kong steps on a DeLorean. This is objectively not a good movie. How much enjoyment you will get out of it depends on your tolerance for movies so bad you can only find joy in making fun of them.

Siddharth Pandey I am surprised that even many kong fans didn't like this movie. It may not be in the same league as King Kong and Godzilla. But it is an entertaining flick all through. It is also the most moving and touching of all kong movies. I watched it in a theater when i was a kid and have fond memories so I may be biased. But it is not as bad as most of the reviews are saying. If you are looking for a Godzilla like stomp city monster destruction flick or Kong climbing a empire state type of monster classic then this is not the film for you. This is just a simple monster movie with fun action and campy acting with some emotional punches thrown in. So overall a good adventure film that makes you nostalgic of your childhood days.

steeltides It's fun! This movie got terrible reviews but I gotta say: if you enjoy the other King Kong films and are a fan, it's an enjoyable flick. It's brimming with intentional goofiness and gags, and while not an astonishingly great piece cinema like the '33 classic, at least it's fun, and surpasses all the other 'Kongs' except for Peter Jackson's remake. The script is pretty tight (for a sequel) and there are a couple memorable action setpieces ... lots of ill-meaning soldiers get crushed, Kong style. The acting is fine, the 80's special effects serve their purpose, and the score is actually quite colorful and carries the movie well.If you were entertained at all by the '76 original, this is definitely worth watching. There are only a handful of King Kong movies to choose from, after all.
