King Kong 1976 rating going up, while King Kong '05 rating going down?


King Kong 1976's rating seems to be going up. It's 5.8 now, while King Kong 2005 is dropping down to 7.3. A difference of just 1.5 points out of 10. At the rate Kong '05 is dropping, it'll be lower than Kong 1976 in 20 years time.

Good! because the 2005 version was a soulless piece of s h i t

Agreed, but you have to admit Naomi Watts was damn fine looking in it!


In times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.

Naomi Watts was truly beautiful in King Kong 2005. Shame she was so darn skinny. Then again I guess it was during the depression so.......??

I agree. The movie felt pointless once they were of the boat. If it wasn't a remake I would not even have remembered it. Peter Jackson didn't deliver at all. Way too much boring and fake green screen ruined the movie. And the plot was very weak too.

I don't know what to say, but I like the 1976 remake more than the 2005 film. I hope it's not trolls rating them, but people who watch both and finally decide which they like more.

This has been on TV the past couple of weeks. I think I was turned off by the casting of the last one, never saw it.
This one is worth watching, even if it is a little campy.

It's too bad they aren't already flip flopped. This '76 Kong BLOWS AWAY that stupid '05 one.

reply

The original is still the best.

Kong '05 had far too much peripheral plot. I love PJ but he really does enjoy stretching things...

ABSOLUTELY! 1976 King Kong BLOWS the 2005 Peter Jackson version OUT OF THE WATER! I went down to Georgia a few years ago for a wedding, and the day after the wedding, we were entertained at the family's home "movie theatre" ...... There were kids there all watching the 2005 P.J. version w/parents enjoying the "Disney" style scenes, such as when the crew is trying to kill off the over-the-top large bugs and insects and the silly "puppy love" w/Kong and the girl! After that movie had ended, some of us wanted to watch the 1976 version and that's when the parents said "NO WAY" that their children were going to watch the 1976 version....... ENOUGH SAID!!!!!!!!

Though I'm sure some kids, if they view the 1976 one, will ask what those two tall towers are...We have to erase them from future art of the movie.......:)
