What a waste of my time!!!

Really Surprised!

Gripping story with well-crafted characters

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

The depression 1930's saw some of the most innovative & groundbreaking movies that left audiences stunned & blown out of their minds. I can only imagine audiences being shocked out of their skulls at the first sight of King Kong in 1933. The arrival of sound & talkies were a new thing & just a few years earlier films like Dracula, Frankenstein, The Mummy, White Zombie, Island of Lost Souls & Mystery Of The Wax Museum had created a startling sensation to1930's audiences. And then came this earth shaking monster classic, it is a perfectly done masterpiece, the action & special effects & stop motion animation & storytelling & superb excellent cast & throbbing music score & direction & fast pacing makes this a winner in every aspect. It is exceedingly well done & still holds up today. Fay Wray, Robert Armstrong , Bruce Cabot & Noble Johnson are in top form & give standout performances. King Kong was well received in 1933 & is still watchable today I can't count how many times I've seen it. It's a film that can be viewed over & over. I have this on VHS & I've seen it on the big screen. This movie is so great it can impress a modern audience it's that good. Still packs a wallop after all these years & decades. It's unbeatable ! ! !

The majority of the film didn't have dialogue, which is what old films stand on. So King Kong didn't work for me.I had a good feeling coming into this. It started out fine, on the boat travelling to the island, crew talking among themselves, setting foot on the island and back to the boat was all fine. I struggle with noise, so from the point in which Ann is taken and Kong is introduced in the film, it has frequent loud music and a lot of screaming by Ann, so I found it hard to enjoy. I thought Kong's face looked rather silly, though his body movements were fine, I found his chewing and stomping on people rather funny.

King Kong was never that interesting to me. I was never really a big fan of the character and I was hoping that this film would change my mind. However, this is a good film just not one for my taste. I just do not understand the appeal of these kinds of movies. I like the bond between the woman and Kong himself but everything else around them is just very uninteresting. However, the closing scene with Kong on top of the Empire State Building is a engaging scene but again, the film as a whole just doesn't really work for me.

As i am not usually hot to see these kind of movies, only my curiosity drove me to the theater thinking to myself what sort of crap this 1933 picture must be. Boy, was i wrong! As the film goes on my eyes went from surprises to surprises how some scenes were so spectaculars in this early years of cinema. They did not have these «special effects» movie lovers enjoy to-day and that is why that «piece of crap» was really an extract of genius, a forerunner, or a film before its time, which certainly gave ideas and lead the way to develop all categories of special effects our eyes benefit to-day. Thanks to the technical genius, producers and director of King Kong 1933, who was the King of them all!Noël Charbonnier
