WOW! I cannot say enough good things about Peter Jackson's take on Kong. Video and audio are spot-on - check out the scenes aboard the Venture for detail, contrast is not too hot and the color range captures the lighting temperature of the times. Noticed some very minor banding during the foggy rock crash scene, but it was fleeting and not disconcerting. Audio is excellent, you can almost make out Kong's growling coming out of the back of his throat, and the sound of the airplanes zooming around the Empire State Building gave my surround a good workout. I heartily recommend this movie to everyone!

The picture quality is incredible, even among blue ray disks. The story is good too. I highly recommend this blue ray.

The blu-ray version of this movie looks amazing. I saw the DVD version and they must have done a crappy job on purpose on the DVD because the effects look awful on the DVD.

There have been a lot of attempts to remake the movie King Kong since the original came out in 1933 and this was by far the best one ever made. It is a bit long, but it is a great film. I would definitely suggest seeing this film.

Every Kong film has their ups and downs, but some of them can be a bit obvious. This new 2005 remake is probably slightly better than the original. Kong is given a more ferocious and more human appearance, while the CGI effects are top-notch. Naomi Watts, Jack Black, and Adrien Brody are absolutely amazing here (but they still can't top Wray, Armstrong, and Cabot). And the action is what you would expect from a Kong film, only that it's probably the most exciting we'll ever see when it comes to this version. But there are, as always, flaws. The sub-plot that involves Jimmy and Hayes was not needed at all: it slows the film down and it sometimes feels like it turns into a completely different movie. The references to the original 1933 film are clever, but there are too much of them in this film. They become irritating once we get into the third act. The music theme wasn't eerie and powerful enough; it could have been improved. And finally, having it all set in 1933 again makes it all a bit tedious. It could have been set in the late 30's or early 40's to make it look a bit unique.
But still, this is an ultimate Kong remake. It's got great effects, wonderful jungle settings, and a new and improved look for the ape himself. All three films (1933, 1976, and 2005) do have their own ups and downs, but I still like all three of them.
