Critics Consensus

King Kong represents a significant visual upgrade over the original, but falls short of its classic predecessor in virtually every other respect.

Rocco T. Thompson Slant Magazine The Dino De Laurentiis-produced remake of King Kong is a beautifully aged 1970s gem, uniting old-fashioned spectacle and contemporary concerns. Rated: 4/5 Jul 17, 2024 Full Review Pauline Kael New Yorker It's a romantic adventure fantasy -- colossal, silly, touching, a marvelous classics-comics movie. Jan 22, 2024 Full Review Anton Bitel Little White Lies Kong is attacked with flame throwers and military helicopters, evoking Vietnam War imagery that had been playing out on America’s small screens till its end in 1975 – and that had divided audiences in their sympathies for ‘our side’ and ‘the Other’. Dec 13, 2022 Full Review Steve Warren The Barb (Atlanta) The funny thing is, the love story works! What isn't funny is that all the horror has gone out of it; to make Kong lovable, they've made him too human, the most three-dimensional character in the story. May 9, 2023 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews ...an excessively erratic blockbuster... Rated: 2/4 Jul 24, 2022 Full Review David Reddish Queerty Lange shouting Good monkey and Chauvinist ape will have viewers in stitches. Rated: 1/4 Mar 13, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

Rich A Jessica as Fay classic waterfall scene needs to be seen Jeff Bridges classic performance! I call this squirrel Kong must see! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/16/24 Full Review Ethan G The 1976 remake of "King Kong" is the original redone but without the necessary ingredients which made the 1933 classic a classic in the first place. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 04/02/24 Full Review Steve M Respectful remake with modern(70's) touches. Kong remains sympathetic and Rick Baker did a great job as the king. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/30/24 Full Review RobHorror240 This is the greatest movie (say it with me now) OF ALL TIME! I love the visual effects, and the story. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/24/24 Full Review Zinjx W The best King film, according to my taste, the effects are a bit primitive, but I think it's better than the old and the new ones. John Barry's music is just perfect Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/22/24 Full Review NiB Y Extremely underrated movie, Kong is the scariest he has ever been, and just realistic in general, with the whole dark and gothic ambience and atmosphere in this version of Skull Island, plus King Kong's suit is very well made; The whole sequence of him rampaging through New York is impressive and really adds more to King Kong's brutal personality in this one. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/14/24 Full Review Read all reviews
