THERE IS NO QUESTION AT ALL THAT THE ORIGINAL KING KONG IS THE GRANDFATHER OF ALL MONSTER -SLASH-HORROR MOVIES AND HAS NEVER BEEN EQUALLED EVEN AFTER DECADES OF TRYING. THE REMAKES (TWO, NO LESS) ARE AT BEST ADEQUATE MOVIES, BUT TOTALLY LACKING IN THE SPECIAL MAGIC OF THIS UNFORGETTABLE CLASSIC. MANY TODAY DERIDE WHAT THEY CONSIDER PRIMITIVE SPECIAL EFFECTS, BUT A CAREFUL EXAMINATION OF THE WORK IN THIS ORIGINAL SHOWS THE MAGIC HOLDS UP EXTRAORDINARILY WELL. WHAT MAKES THIS UNDISPUTED CLASSIC SO WONDERFUL IS THE REAL SENSE OF AWE AND BELIEF IT MANAGES TO GENERATE. AN AUDIENCE WILLINGLY SUSPENDS DISBELIEF AND LETS THE MOVIE AND ALL ITS WONDERS CONSUME THEM. AND IT'S A WONDERFUL CONSUMPTION! KING KONG IS, A SUPER VALENTINE TO SO MANY THINGS RANGING FROM ADVENTURE AT ITS BEST TO THE GLORIES OF NEW YORK CITY. A TOTALLY UNFORGETTABLE FILM THAT NEVER LETS GO.
