   Is King Kong a monster movie?

   • KING KONG is more than a mere monster movie. Even though I love the stop-motion by Willis O'Brien, the adventure on Skull island, and the eventual New York City rampage, there's more going on than special effects and thrills.

   "King Kong" is a fantastic movie, with a spectacular story with action, adventure, fantasy, horror, sci-fi and thriller; the special effects are amazing for a 1933 movie, with very few resources and equipment; and the use of sound, a few years after the silent period, and the powerful screams of Fay Wray, are awesome.
