OK, so it was always going to be very difficult to get anywhere near the 1933 version so I suppose the question here is – why bother? Well, they did – and what we have here is a bit of a shocker. The character names have been changed and the plot line updated to suggest this is more about oil exploration than beastie hunting, but thereafter the story is the same as the glamorous “Dwan” (Jessica Lange) becomes the apple of the eye of our eponymous giant ape. Taken deep into his jungle lair, the pair are pursued by Jeff Bridges (“Prescott”) and Charles Grodin (“Wilson”) who face all sorts of perils as they try to rescue the damsel in distress. The damsel, meantime, is beginning to fall for her over-sized beau and maybe she didn’t actually want rescuing? We, on the other hand, certainly do. This takes far too long to get going and once it does, it offers us a very pedestrian interpretation of one of the most iconic love stories in cinema history with acting that is as about as wooden as it gets. The colour photography is first rate, but that also serves to rob the film of much of it’s soul. This has a made-for-television look to it that is entirely devoid of any sense of menace or emotion. Lange screams like the best of them at the beginning, but there is nothing of the vulnerable about her characterisation. It doesn’t help that the supporting cast are little better than a collection of daytime C-listers delivering a dialogue that really needed quite a bit more work had it hoped to engage us for 2¼ hours. Just because the visual effects made this possible doesn’t mean that it should have been made. Judge for yourself, but I doubt you will find it either entertaining nor a patch on the original.
Review By: CinemaSerf

A bit long but not terrible and had some adorably funny moments like seeing a man in an ape outfit tossing around a model train or hiding behind a building to avoid a helicopter. But seriously, the ape costume wasn’t bad however his expressions were at times creepy, especially when looking at Dwan. Certainly one of the lesser of the Kong movies (though haven’t seen King Kong Lives) but I guess watchable. **3.0/5**

Guilty Pleasure
I hate to admit this having read many of the reviews but I can’t help but enjoy “King Kong”. Yes I realize it is silly and yest I realize the special effects aren’t…. well, special. But I was 11 years old when this came out at Christmas in 1976. The hype was huge. The posters screamed that it was “The Motion Picutre Event of Our Time”. I was caught up in it all and the film has a lot of fond memories for me.

On the positive side I think John Barry’s score is one of his best. The lack of an Oscar nomination was a crime. Jeff Bridges and Charles Grodin (playing a bad guy for a change) are acceptable in their roles. Jessica Lange didn’t exactly hint there was a two time Oscar winner present but she looked awfully good. And the supporting cast featuring character actors (Ed Lauter, John Randolph, etc) we’ve seen over and over again.

It’s no classic. It may not even be that good. But every time it’s on I watch it and enjoy it despite its flaws. I guess that’s what a guilty pleasure is all about. And this may be my guiltiest pleasure.
