King Kong (1978)

This was not a great movie. In my opinion, they took a classic movie and ruined it. For one thing, they took out the T-Rex scene, which was one of my favorite scenes in the movie.

When I say that they took a classic movie and ruined it, I'm not lying. If you saw it, you would know what I mean.

The only things that was better was the cinematography (this one was in color and the other one was in black and white). For one thing, some of the scenes were exactly the same as the one in 1933, but they were in color so it made it feel more realistic.

Another thing I liked about it is the special effects. King Kong looked more realistic.

I also liked how they captured King Kong. Instead of them just throwing one little grenade and having him knocked out -- that's just stupid -- but not as stupid for 1933. Instead in this one, they have a huge tank of some gasses that knock him out.

But don't get me wrong, I might a few things that I like about it, but still, I did not like this movie.

For one thing, the lady in this movie was one no Scream Queen. Basically, all she did for screaming was say, "Ah! Please don't hurt me, please don't hurt me." If I could make a chart of screaming in King Kong movies, then in the 1933 one, Fay Wray would be at the top of the chart, because she screamed way too much, but the actress in this one didn't scream enough, so she would be at the bottom. For King Kong, I wouldn't like someone who never stops screaming and someone who barely screams, I'd like someone between that.

Another thing that I didn't like about this was the tribe people. They scare away the tribe people at one point and then the people capturing Kong open the gate. When that happens, all of the sudden, the tribe people are just back. I was like, "What the heck!? The tribe people are just back?!"

Plot: The plot is the same at the 1933 version.

I really didn't like this movie and I suggest that you don't watch it, unless you are a huge fan of King Kong. If not, then don't.

My Rating: 5/10
