I wish they'd make another king kong :( ending was a little sad, kong wouldn't of died if they'd left him in piece back at the island.. watch it now! :)

Four stars for this version. Special Edition would get 5. Please could we have the Special Edition available.

Much better than his Lord of the Rings.

Kong is a beast, in many ways, he is 25 feet tall and can bray 3 Vastatosaurus rex's with one hand while holding Naomi watts in the other. However, he is not the toughest when it comes to love as we all know it wasn't the airplanes, it was beauty killed the beast. But a lot of the bad reviews are because of the running time, 3 hours, but yes I agree, that is a long sit. But a film like this deserves that long sit. I can't think of any other reasons why people dislike this film. A brilliant movie that is majorly underrated.

If I'm going to buy this film again I want the King Kong (Extended Version) HD. This is available in the US store, it's time it was available in the UK !!!!

I love this film so much it's the best and it made me cry at the end xxx

Thanks to Andy Serkis bringing another Oscar-winning performance as King Kong and superb performances, storyline and direction by all else involved. I even cried at one scene - not at what it was, but what it represented. This film has so much entertainment value.

Peter Jackson does it again!! I think this film is amazing, it was strong in character development, visual effects, cinematography, acting, action/peril and pretty much everything else. Peter Jackson has wonderfully crafted this film. There is honestly a lot to love about Peter Jackson's King Kong. The movie takes its time in pace; it starts in New York and spends a lot of it's running time on the boat which does take a while but the movie never drags. The climax of the film is dramatic and emotional. Naomi Watts, Jack Black, Adrien Brody and Andy Serkis are all the best performances in the movie. Ultimately there are no flaws, it's absolutely perfect except it's far too bloody long!! 3 hours and 7 minutes is really pushing it Pete! Still it is amazing! Go see it if you havn't already :)

This movie is probably one of Peter Jackson's best movies, but the only problem is that it took 4 hours to download? What the Heck!

Brilliant !! One of the best films i now own xxx motion capture performed by andy serkis as Kong is as brilliant as ever !!! Own this movie xxx number 2 in films to see before you die! Peter Jackson your amazing xx

As a huge fan of the 1933 classic (which needs putting on here!) I was pleasantly surprised at how loyal Peter Jackson was with this film. He stayed true to the original, yet somehow made it his own without ruining it with modern cliches.

The special effects are fantastic, something which can't be said for the original (but that's why the original's so good) and even though it's at least another 90 minutes longer than the original, it doesn't get bogged down in unneccesary sequences. Jackson merely takes each scene from the original and expands it ever so slightly. For example, the famous "log" scene in which the main characters are trying to cross a ravine over a fallen log, but are attacked by Kong who picks up the log and throws it into the ravine. In the original, that's all that happens. However, what's interesting is that in the original, there was a further part that followed on from that scene which was initially cut out because it terrified it's 30s audience. It consists of the survivors of the log fall trapped in the ravine surrounded by giant insects. Jackson recreated that scene as a homage to the original.

It isn't often that remakes surpass their predecessors, and this is no exception, the original is still miles better. But this is still a damn good film, certainly far better than the awful 1976 version.

Please put the original film on!

This is by far the best movie ever made, and I mean the 2005 remake only. As well as that, the game of the movie for PS2, XBOX and XBOX 360 is legendary aswell. Also the fact that Jack Black played a part in both the game and the movie really makes it stand out. Rock on Peter Jackson!

Peter Jackson's meticulous attention to detail is perfectly utilized in this epic, sweeping vision of King Kong. The magicians at Weta create not only a stunning, living forest on Skull Island that rivals that of James Cameron's Avatar, but a gloriously soft focus interpretation of 1930's New York. The cast is eclectic, a mix of British faces and Jack Black. Naomi Watts and Adrien Brody are a bit wet as the lead couple, but the real star is Kong. Like Gollum in LOTR, Kong is physicalized by Andy Serkis, and has more depth and humanity than much of the cast. The surrounding creatures, dinosaurs and giant leeches some might call them uneccessary but are incredibly impressive and proves once again how capable Jackson is at staging vast, intricate set pieces. All the creatures are so imaginitive the bloated running time whizzes by. Until we're back in New York. From that moment onwards, the film descends into pure, tear-jerking schmaltz. At one point Kong and Watts actually frolic on a frozen pond, a sight so ludicrous and faux-deep-and-meaningful it's hard to watch. The finale however, schmaltz or no schmaltz is handled magnificently. All in all, a film that is goregeous to look at from start to finish, which suffers from a slight schmaltz fix half way through, but recovers for a nail-biting finish.

One of the best films I've ever seen. Easy to follow story but not so easy that it's just for idiots. Brilliant viewing for any age any number any taiste in film. I would never disagree to watching this if offered even if I had watched three times already on the same day. Approximately 3 hours of pure and utter brilliance!

Epic as in, its one of those amzing 5 star films like lord of the rings, jurassic park pans labyrinth or Titanic.

This is a great movie with stunning FX and acting. One of the few remakes thats good.

Like i said... Epic

P.S What does it mean PG!? It's a 12A it much closer to a 15 than a PG! If your under around 12 you can get frightened watching people getting slaughtered by falling, crushing and stabbing. But besides that it's suitable.

The best remake ever. Top film, great acting, great story, great effects. Yes its long, but you don't notice as its so good

Too long for my liking, but a great first time watch- if you havent see it already then it is defo worth picking up.

make sure you go to the loo before watching!

This movie will not disappoint you. It's one of the few remakes that are actually fantastic and just as good as Lord of the Rings if not better! 5 big fat stars! The price is worth it.

When i first heard about this film I thought oh great another classic master piece ruined by another worthless remake, Boy I was wrong. This film is supurb! King Kong is a great great film. From it's great acting to it's glorious CGI this movie is a must see and I would recomend it to anyone!
