It sucked almost as badly as Lovely Bones. Which is saying a lot.

I enjoyed it a lot. The middle section involving the dinosaurs is a little bland, but the final scene in Manhattan is handled brilliantly.

It was alright. It doesn't matter what version I see I always get tears when the monkey dies.

I love about an hour and a half of that movie. However, I think the other 50% left much to be desired.

It was ok.. Not great.

To put in perspective I liked it WAY more than Avatar!!!

If you are going to redo a plot at least use the same name. But it wasn't called "Dances With Wolvesitar" or "Last Samuraitar" or dozens or other movies, westerns, and TV show. But somehow redoing that trite story line with bad actors but really good special effect earns you a best picture nominee..

Oh yeah.. King Kong..? Yeah just ok..

A little long, took a while to get on the damn island. The ending was very sad, you know Jackson did a great job when you actually feel sad over a damn monkey

The ending was a genuine tear jerker for me but overall the movie lacked a certain I don't know what which made it a little bland.

But thank you for coming up with yet another old movie plot that follows "Avatar"...

The movie starts out trying to kill an evil "whatever".. Then you get close to that "whatever" and see and learn its ways..

Then you start see the "whatever's" ways are better than yours...

And then... Oh sorry I fell asleep..

Then you side with "whatever's" side which has clearly been illustrated as being better than your originals side.

Choose your ending, happy or sad... The end!

Loved: The greedy film director and how he recruits an up and coming young actress and kidnaps a renowned writer. How the relationship between the girl and the ape develops. How they captured the giant ape and everything that happens once they return to New York. The ending.

Hated: Everything that happens on the boat and how long it takes to get to the island. Everyhting to do with crazy natives, dinosaurs, and giant bugs.

Overall I'd give it a 7. Good film.

For the most part, I didn't care for it. The T-rex battle was cool, but that was about it.

You mean the "subtle" commentary on racism that was in the first one? Yeah, that wasn't there.

For me, it was too long and over done. The movie had no soul and all the 'moments' and action scenes felt forced. I have no desire to see it again.

It was a fun movie.

I loved the underwater scene from the Director's Cut, they shouldn't have cut it from the theatrical edition.

It was pretty terrible. Probably ranked up there with Transformers as the most mishandled franchise in cinematic history.

When I first saw King Kong on a a CRT TV, I thought it was ok. After watching it on a widescreen Flat Panel with 5.1 SS, I thought it was great.

i really like it. i never really got the "get to the monkey" business though, as the beginning not only important but entertaining as well. what makes the island parts so great is the contrast with the depression era set in the beginning. jack black's character helps carry it along too (dear god, he acts!).

Shave about 45 minutes off the movie and I would of enjoyed it more. The final New York scenes were really good, and the ending was one of the saddest I have seen.

I ruined it by laughing when King Kong died. The entire theater was silent, except for one, silly girl, cackling like a madman in the back rows... *cough*
