Danielle Solzman

Peter Jackson draws on the original 1933 classic in his 2005 remake of King Kong and the film is every bit the epic that one would expect.

The visual effects are glorious -- a circus of cliffhanging suspense sequences that go on and on and on. But rather than just padding the story with gummy exposition and silly action, Jackson delves deeply into the psychology of the characters.

... an old-fashioned monster movie/jungle thriller pushed to the limits with new technology by a filmmaker with both the skill and the heart to recapture the thrills of his adolescent moviehouse dreams.

Does it improve on its landmark predecessor? Of course not. But on its own terms, this interpretation gets the job done in often spectacular fashion.

Some sequences are less convincing than others, but the technology has improved to such a degree that it's undeniably impressive to see Kong during his most famous routines.
