King Kong (2005)

• What's it about?: This remake goes back to following the plot of the original and staying within the period it came out in.
• Thoughts: Honestly better than the original. The characters and story are much more fleshed out, Skull Island is more terrifying and of course a movie from 2005 with access to more modern filmmaking techniques is going to have better visuals than one from the 30s.
• Rating: 9/10
• Recommendation: Highly Recommended
• Tier: A

Main Characters

Carl Denham
Jack Black
An ambitious filmmaker who just wanted to film a simple uncharted island.

Other notable actors: Andy Serkis, Naomi Watts, Adrien Brody, Thomas Kretschmann, Colin Hanks, Kyle Chandler, Jamie Bell

Director: Peter Jackson

Producer: Peter Jackson

Remake of: King Kong (1933)

The Mighty Kong (1998)

• What's it about?: The original but animated and partially a musical.
• Thoughts: Pretty bad. The animation is crap, the story is watered down, rushed and too cartoony.
• Rating: 1/10
• Recommendation: Not Recommended
• Tier: F-

Notable Actors: Dudley Moore

Remake of: King Kong (1933)

Son of Kong (1933)

• What's it about?: Following King Kong, Carl Denham seeks to escape prosecution in Indonesia where he gains a lead on treasure that leads him back to Skull Island where he meets the titular offspring. 
• Thoughts: Pretty underwhelming follow up to such an iconic film. You don't even get to see the Son till the last half hour so there's not enough monke. 
• Rating: 5/10
• Recommendation: Don't Care
• Tier: D

Notable actors: Robert Armstrong

Director: Ernest B. Schoedsack

Producer: Ernest B. Schoedsack

Sequel to: King Kong (1933)

King Kong (1933)

• What's it about?: A filmmaker organizes an expedition to a dangerous unmarked island to find a giant monke. Look man it's King Kong, we all should know what happens in King Kong.
• Thoughts: Pretty good for a film of the era. Stop motion holds up. 
• Rating: 8/10
• Recommendation: Highly Recommended
