The 8th Wonder has defined and redefined cinema for over 90 years now, but is one of his more recent films the best in his catalog? I sure think so, come see if you agree!
Peter Jackson’s King Kong is the real deal.
There's so much heart in this. Beautiful essay, my friend.
This is my favorite King Kong movie since Peter Jackson directed Lord of the Rings.
The fact that King Kong makes me bawl my eyes out every time i see it says everything. I feel just like Anne in the movie, floored, flattened by the big guys horrible death. The scenes between Anne and Kong are just beautiful and poetic. I start crying toward the end when Kong mimicks Annes unwitting sign language for "Beautiful."
This isnt just a monster movie, every time I watch this movie Im left feeling something...that doesnt happen with most movies let alone a "monster flick"...that last line "twas beauty that killed the beast" always makes me ponder what this movie is really saying...and its a great classic movie you can watch on a sunday afternoon with the family...without a doubt head and shoulders above 90 % of other movies
I really do enjoy Peter Jackson's King Kong. In fact, it makes me appreciate the original Kong film even more.
Loved Peter Jackson's version ❤
Peter Jackson's King Kong is easily the best version of King Kong even after seeing him in the monsterverse
If It was not for this movie i would never have seen original 1933 i love this movie too
I was seven when Peter Jackson's King Kong was released in theaters. I was too young at the time but then when I saw it years later it left an emotional impact on me.
I Remember seeing it in theaters back in december 2005 and i was six
I had a very similar experience!
One of my favorite movies!!
Yes there is an almost LORD OF RINGS sense of fate about this version of KING KONG. (I also think her choosing to go on the journey was because of Driscol as well as because she has nothing to lose) Without charm NO Version of KING KONG works, I can see both human features & facial reactions in Kong's face, where they made the most of the CGI format (notice how there are far more facial reactions than in the original, which was a wise decision to do that). Real life Gorillas don't & probably can't make as many face reactions, BUT it works so well in this film to see something human there
PJ's Kong made me bawl like a baby when i first saw it!! Brilliant movie!!❤
It's certainly the best remake of a film- you can tell how much they loved the original.
Excellent points throughout this vid! This is my personal favourite recent King Kong film, even with its tremendous length. Even now, it would make a great half of a double bill with Godzilla Minus One.
Thanks for your comment! I agree, that would be one tremendous double feature!
That’s a good idea.
I wish monsterverse Kong was more animalistic like this
My favorite part of the movie is the fauna many of the creatures are speciation meaning the creature are somewhat futuristic and could happen in the right conditions
Look how cute you were as a little baby actor!!!
Amazing work- your final words on fate and the exploration of such complex, human questions are exactly what adventure films like this should inspire in all of us!!! Games pretty sick, too.
king kong 2005 is my fav movie, best movie I've ever seen in my life
Such a great explanation video. You have made me a fan.
Thanks Laci!
Peter Jackson Kong is my second favorite version of Kong. Monster Verse Kong is my number one favorite version of Kong. I too saw this King Kong remake in theaters as a kid.
If there is a movie that is in dire need of a sequel or spinoff, it is Peter Jackson's King Kong.
Greatest dinosaur movie ever! The V Rex is my spirit animal
It's underrated! One of the best movies ever made. Everything you said is so fucken right.
I love this and the original equally, for different reasons. Both are amazing, and I enjoy the game for the Jackson version as well
The 1933 is the original classic, a masterpiece but the Kong in the 2005 version you could really connect with thanks to the modern CGI, I agree that the 2005 moved everything forward.
I LOVE KING KONG 2005 SO MUTCH IS A SPECIAL MOVIE TO ME!!
you should do more of these because this was absolutely amazing!
Thank you so much! I really appreciate that, more videos coming!
The scene on the ice is a tragic scene. This creature lived his whole life and it appears as though this was his first opportunity at having fun. He was laughing as he spun around on the ice, laughing with Ann, only to have the moment destroyed by people who just don't get it. I loved this movie, but at the same time, this movie brings something out in me that I don't like. It reiterates to me how morally corruptable the human race is. It shows me the true levels of evil that the human race has the potential for. It reiterates in me why I hate people and care more for animals than humans.
I love all the Kong films, but this is my favorite.
Great video! This film for me really was the ONE that started my love and passion for films.
Excellent video! Except for one big detail; the musical score was composed by James Newton Howard (Signs, Blood Diamond, Dinosaur, Treasure Planet, Peter Pan, Maleficent, Hunger Games, Last Airbender, etc), not James Horner (Titanic, The Land Before Time, Star Trek the Wrath of Khan, An American Tail, Cocoon, etc).
yeah I realized I flubbed that line after the upload 😞
Movie of my childhood
Great insight dude! New subb!
I loved everything about PJ's King Kong except for one thing: Jack Black. Yeah I know. Funny thing is I consider Jack Black to be a world treasure...
That’s funny because I feel like my whole personality is essentially just Jack Black in this movie 😂
This is the best King Kong movie no doubt.
I agree
I like the 2005 version as well.
Yea, now this is The Best Kong movie ever made. I would even say The Game of the movie is also one of the Best based on a movie. They should have remade or Remastered this in stead of that stupid Skull Island The Rise of Kong....
I absolutely agree! We are getting a game hopefully later this year called “Project Ferocious” that the creators said was very heavily inspired by that King Kong game so, that’s something! Also the graphics on it look great!
@@terminurtle wow sounds great. Have to check it Out. Thanks.
I love king kong 2005 at whan i was 3 years old ❤
THE Kong movie.

Why are you taking bad about carl denham carl denham is not a bad Guy in this version maybe if you were talking about fred wilson from King Kong 1976 or the Carl denham of the cancelled King Kong 1996 than your comparison would make more sense but it doesn’t
While Carl Denham is certainly not an antagonist in this film, he his certainly a morally corrupt character who puts a lot of people's lives in danger, most of the crew dying from this escapade on the island. I certainly love Jack black in this role and I think his character has a lot of charm and charisma but he is what he is, I didn't feel like I talked too badly about him, but the facts are there.
KING KONG => 1976
Too much bad CG
I loved King Kong in 2005, I enjoyed it!!
