A brilliant remake of a classic that is now a classic in it's own right.


I absolutely love this movie. I know a lot of people find it too long and the first hour unnecessary but I think it's a great mini-movie in itself and sets the scene for the next two hours. One of my favourite scenes is the T-Rex fight, I find it so tense and exciting and the bit when the last Rex is about to pounce on Ann then Kong jumps down behind her, the look on her face is a gem, as if to say to the Rex "go on then, give it your best shot now". Just brilliant!! This movie has it all, action, comedy, horror, romance (in a weird way I must admit), I just never tire of watching it, especially the whole extended version. It is definitely up there as one of my all time favourite movies. I always get a slight tear at the end too!

This movie was way too long. The entire cast was miscast with the exception of Naomi Watts
