   Peter Jackson has turned this classic story into a slam-bang spectacle, with more action than many could've predicted. King Kong is also way more emotional than I personally expected. Ann Darrow's relationship with Kong is depicted in a superior way to the original movie.

5. People also ask

   Is King Kong a good movie?

   • The film rethinks the characters, turning the original's stark Jungian fantasy into a soulless but skillful set of kinetic and emotional effects. King Kong isn't terrible, but it's something that none of Jackson's previous movies ever was -- it's enervating. On its own terms, the film is overlong, repetitive and lacks impact.

   What makes the 2005 King Kong special?

   • Finally, one thing that makes the 2005 King Kong special is its open tribute to its roots, not just the 1933 movie but 1930s Hollywood in general. Peter Jackson is very much a modern director on the surface, filling his movies with wall-to-wall CGI and two-second shots, but his understanding of his cinematic forebears underpins it all.

   When was King Kong filmed?

   • As the first two films in the Rings trilogy became commercially successful, Universal went back to Jackson in early 2003, expressing interest in restarting development on the project, to which Jackson eventually agreed. Filming for King Kong took place in New Zealand from September 2004 to March 2005.

   Is King Kong a true story?

   • King Kong is an homage not just to the original but to the history of movies themselves. Jackson is a visionary filmmaker who is not only a technical wizard but also a master storyteller. With Jackson at the helm, you would expect dazzling special effects and epic action sequences, but what is most surprising is how heartfelt the romance feels.

   Review. It’s been remade before but Peter Jackson’s lavish retelling of the classic black-and-white film King Kong is quite entertaining. Instead of putting on a mangy ape suit, Andy Serkis returns to the motion-capture acting arena as the famed Kong, eighth wonder of the world.
