I won't compare this to the original as there is no point (they are both good films, of their time) other than to say that (in my opinion) it succeeds as a genuine homage and a modern day telling of the story (the feel of the original is captured well, and it is every bit as action packed and breathtaking as it must have seemed in 1933).

The film itself is simply stunning to watch. Both New York (set in 1933) and Skull Island look astonishing. The streets of a depression-era America are beautifully crafted (everything -- the buildings, the gleaming cars, the atmosphere -- looks crisp and "perfect") and the Island itself looks exactly like you'd imagine one of those old adventure film islands brought up to date in stunning HD colour.

Then there is Kong! Wow, it blows your mind. The creature is so lifelike and captivating that you are left memorised by it. The creatures movement (once again -- after Gollum -- acted by Andy Serkis -- who also stars as one of the ships crew) is so realistic, but especially his expressions. You are left with a real attachment to the ape, a genuine sense of grief and futility at the greed and cruelty of man (when the inevitable climax comes around). There are also many other creatures on the Island -- all perfectly created -- and it is no surprise this walked away with the Oscar for best Visual Effects (it is probably the most sumptuous movie I've ever seen). However...

It's difficult to quite pinpoint what is wrong with the film. I think it is mainly as Jack Black, for me, doesn't cut it as Carl Denham. He is good enough, but not exceptional (unlike the rest of the cast and effects) and doesn't convince as a film director from that era (he is too young!

Sometimes you are forced to re-evaluate a movie upon second viewing, films that at first you didn't really like and for me Peter Jackson's epic King Kong is one such movie.

I can usually make my mind up about whether I like a film or not upon first viewing, but occasionally one comes along that I'm not quite sure of. I was particularly scathing towards the film due to several contributing factors. One being the fact that it was so long! The film takes an absolute age to get going (something you don't have the patience for when you have a numb backside and no leg room in a cinema!) also I was dealing with the pessimism in my head that it was just another CGI-filled remake of an all-time classic!

However on DVD and Blu-Ray you are given the opportunity to watch a film on your own terms, plus the addition of extra scenes is always intriguing as you are seeing the film how the director intended you to see it (I can't imagine ever watching the Lord of The Ring's trilogy without all that additional footage!).

The classic endearing story of King Kong is just as engaging here as ever and the film is visually stunning, as good as anything in Jackson's Lord of The Rings trilogy. Kong himself is brilliantly realised with another outstanding CGI character performance by Andy 'Gollum' Serkis. Here on Blu-Ray you can appreciate just how impressive the special effects really are. There are also far more creatures and monsters in this film than you first realise, particularly with the additional scenes, making it one big monster movie!

NB: As is Amazon's wont, they've unhelpfully lumped all the reviews for various different editions of this title together - the two-disc DVD theatrical cut, the three-disc extended director's cut and the Bluray featuring both cuts but fewer extras.

Viewed on the small screen, the theatrical cut of Peter Jackson's epic labor of love is a bit more of a problematic experience than it was on the big screen, being at once a mixture of the best and worst of Peter Jackson. His love of and sheer joy in film-making is manifestly obvious right from the delirious opening montage of Depression era New York that gives the background detail a modern audience wouldn't bring into the theatre with them as they did in 1933 with a wonderful visual economy so much of the rest of the film lacks. Unfortunately he then spends a couple of reels detailing the death of Vaudeville and Carl Denham's problems with studio execs. And then a couple of reels on getting under way. And then far too many reels sailing to Skull Island - when Denham promised Ann a long ocean voyage, he wasn't kidding. It's not so much that they're bad scenes (though some are quite weak), more that there's no reason for all of them to be there. Most could have easily been thrown over the side with the rest of the ship's fittings, but instead they tend to bury the more portentous moments under trivia. Indeed, it's interesting to note that a draft of Jackson's aborted attempt to film it in 1998 included none of this section whatever, kicking off with the Venture piercing the fog in search of Skull Island.

But once it literally crashes into Skull Island, the film really takes off - the natives this time really are savage, almost Neolithic, the action scenes well-handled and the pace relentless.
