KING
KONG
With
Adrien
Brody,
Naomi
Watts,
Jack
Black,
Andy
Serkis
Directed
by
Peter
Jackson
The
classic
original
1933
King
Kong
and
its
very
'70s
remake
had
to
rely
on
innovative
animation,
photographic
and
make-up
effects
to
bring
the
giant
ape
to
life.
It
was
inevitable
that
another
version
in
our
digital
age
would
see
the
light.
And
it
took
the
man
who
made
the
Lord
Of
The
Rings
trilogy
to
do
it.
An
ambitious
and
ruthless
film
director
of
the
silent
movie
era
cons
his
cast
and
crew
into
traveling
to
an
uncharted
island
to
shoot
his
latest
epic.
What
they
find
is
a
pre-historic,
primitive
and
vicious
place
where
oversized
beasts
rule.
The
tribe
living
separate
from
the
dangerous
forest
kills
and
captures
some
of
the
Westerners
who
are
way
out
of
their
depth,
including
the
leading
lady.
She
is
offered
to
Kong,
an
enormous
gorilla.
Her
traumatic
snatching
results
in
her
attempting
to
escape,
which
amuses
the
ape
and
he
becomes
protective
of
her.
The
rest
of
the
crew
(including
the
romantic
interest)
head
out
to
save
her.
Naomi
Watts
does
a
fine
job
previously
filled
by
Fay
Wray
and
Jessica
Lange,
but
where
the
digital
technology
makes
a
lot
possible,
it
also
inadvertently
turn
others
unbelievable
and
fake.
Giant
insects,
dinosaurs
and
other
predators
make
for
one
hell
of
a
survival
trip
and
some
exciting
moments.
True
animal
lovers
will
hate
the
thought
of
Kong
being
captured
and
brought
to
New
York
as
an
exhibit
spectacle,
and
falling
to
his
death
from
the
Empire
State
building
after
a
rampaging
escape.
But
the
emotion
of
it
is
relayed
very
effectively.
Sure,
the
message
that
people
are
beyond
stupid
when
it
comes
to
marvels
of
nature
is
apparent
-
as
I
write
this,
tigers
have
become
an
endangered
specie
and
whaling
has
again
been
legalized…
Stupid?
It's
beyond
that.
If
people
are
capable
of
blowing
the
shit
out
of
other
random
human
beings
in
the
name
of
religion,
what
the
hell's
an
animal?
Kong's
physical
and
facial
motion
capture
was
performed
by
Andy
Serkis
who
played
Gollum
in
Lord
Of
The
Rings.
PS.
Jackson
reportedly
said
that
the
original
King
Kong
is
what
made
him
want
to
become
a
filmmaker
-
what
a
dream
come
true.
