    should have cut a half hour

    This went on about a half hour longer than it needed to (and at 3+ hours that is a meaningful amount of time). Unrelenting violence, very graphic. But a terrific action movie.

    king kong review by critic07

    A classic, really good. but boring for kids who like just action movies. It is one of my favorite movies now.

    A Great Old Movie!

    King Kong is a true classic, and one of the best adventure movies ever made. I prefer the 2005 version because it's a lot more intense, but the original must have been completely amazing back in 1933. Even by today's standards it's fairly fun and exciting. And as far as content goes, this is a great family movie. There's some violence. Kong breaks a T-Rex's jaw and then smashes in its skull (just like in the 2005 version), Kong snacks on people like popcorn and smashes them into the ground, and Kong destroys things and eats people in New York. This all would be very disturbing if Kong and the dinosaurs looked real, but it's not, you can tell they're puppets easily. Good for kids 7+
