King Kong review
Daniel Corleone - wrote on 11/08/11
Carl Denham invites Ann Darrow to be in his film, which h considers the greatest of all time. They go to Skull Island where oversized creatures are bred. Groundbreaking special effects for its time which include a story that is emulated countless times. You can really see the emotions of Kong based on his eyes. Its look maybe dated, but it is one of the pioneers for effects. The visuals were effective and screenplay engaging. A few lines from this classic: Carl – “Oh, no, it wasn't the airplanes. It was Beauty that killed the beast!” Jack – “He's crazy enough to try anything. When I think what might have happened today.” The only qualms I had was the swift adoration of Jack, Ann screaming despite Kong saving her from time to time from various beasts and the tenacity of Carl despite the dangers involved. Nevertheless, the premises of achieving fame, fortune, love (man and beast) were expressed vividly. The action is fast paced, performances were believable and story was continuous. King Kong for its time was suspenseful, horrific and touching at the same time, which can be cherished by film fanatics in the generations to come.
