Good Fun but Dosen't Beat the Original!
This remake of the 1933 classic is a fun filled action packed film, but it is certainly not as great as the original. But this remake is the best of the 3 remakes, and is still a film that is entertaining and enjoyable. But be advised that the film is very intense, and will certainly frighten children.

Although this movie is utterly fantastic, the violence is extremely intense and constant. Also almost every scene on Skull island is sure to scare the pants off anyone 10 or under. Not to mention Carl gets drunk several times and is greedy self-centered and disregards the law. The Army uses guns to stop Kong and in NYC at the beginning a man suggests Ann work at a strip club.

A good moveie
It is good how ann and kong be come good friends.There is a part where there is gint bugs and the bugs eat people i chapter forward.I think the action is grat but for young kids it mit be bad.kong and ann like i said are good friends but when kong gets killd it mit be disturbing for young kids/but in the move there is a good message of friendship.

Fine remake
Some elements to this remake of one of my favorite films of all time is weird, like the fact Ann falls for King Kong and they're both in love with each other, where as in the original only Kong is in love with her. Other than that and an uneeded 30+ minutes, this epic does the original proud. The effects are top notch, and the acting, especially Black, is superb

Not for the faint of heart.
It was a little disturbing at one point, but otherwise it's a good movie. :D

It was good.....
I liked it.But it was too long,in my opinion.But it is Peter Jackson! It is violent,and LOTS of "Jesus-Christ"'s.The natives were disturbing,and the dino-fight was kinda gross.My favorite character besides Anne,King Kong,and Jack,was Jimmy the cabin boy.I was so surprised he didn't die!The CGI was cool,and overall it was very well done!(and it's like Jack Black's only serious role!!):)

King Kong: Nicely-made
Peter Jackson's dream project is a fine remake. Though it is overlong and features some campy acting, I enjoyed it. It has some amazing visuals and Jackson nicely creates both New York and Skull Island. Note to parents: The movie is very violent, though there is little blood. Violent scenes include dinosaurs being ripped apart, humans being maimed, and ferocious natives attacking an innocent woman. The movie is also over 3 hours in length and may make younger teens antsy. Yet if your kids can take the violence, they should get a pretty good film out of it.

Amazing SFX in overly-long film by "Lord of the Rings" director.
My rating: PG-13 for intense and frightening sequences of action/adventure violence, disturbing images and language.

okay
Well if a four year old kid is watching it. I don't think they will be able to take everything in. So maybe when they're older and they do understand, but are still a kid, that's up to the parent.

Bug scene and native islander scenes can be disturbing for kids
I didn't really like it, but maybe that's just me. The bug scene can be disturbing, though. They did an awesome job on King Kong's looks. He looked fantastic. But I still didn't really enjoy it. I don't know why...
