Together, beauty and beast finally meet their fate in New York, where the filmmaker has taken and displayed the ape in the quest of finding his fame by using commercial exploitation which ultimately leads to catastrophe, including the man who falls in love with Ann and plays an unlikely hero by trying to save her from Kong and her destiny.

Sweet! submitted by TripleH123 on June 30, 2011, 1:52am This is a sweet movie with lots of action and adventure! I loved It!!!

Not bad submitted by crazypockets on July 13, 2013, 11:34am This was a fairly decent action film. It's pure fantasy and goes along with the original. Some parts are really kind of scary and hard to watch, and I don't know if the CGI will stand the test of time, but overall an ok movie.

Naomi Watts was amazing in this movie submitted by rmhawkins on June 18, 2014, 9:32pm There is something about this movie that always makes me cry. Naomi Watts is pure brilliance in this role. The relationship she shares with the ape is quite moving and transcends the barriers placed between them. What makes it more incredible is that she acted most of these scenes on a green screen. While Naomi has impressed me in many roles, this one has stuck with me the most.
