King Kong

One of the greatest adventure stories in Hollywood history gets a new interpretation in this action drama from Academy Award-winning director Peter Jackson. In the early 1930s, Carl Denham (Jack Black) is a daring filmmaker and adventurer who has gained a reputation for his pictures documenting wildlife in remote and dangerous jungle lands; despite the objections of his backers, Denham plans to film his next project aboard an ocean vessel en-route to Skull Island, an uncharted island he discovered on a rare map.

Featuring state-of-the-art special effects, terrific performances, and a majestic sense of spectacle, Peter Jackson's remake of King Kong is a potent epic that's faithful to the spirit of the 1933 original.

Critic Reviews:

• " From start to finish, this is an extravaganza, a classic and a love story that you will long hold in the palm of your hand as Kong holds us in his. " – Debbie Lynn Elias

• " Who would have thought a remake of one of the greatest films ever could rival, if not surpass, the original? In Jackson's capable hands, that's just what King Kong does. " – Matthew Lucas

• " It clocks in at over three hours, but Peter Jackson's remake of the 1933 classic is gripping nonetheless. " – Jonathan Rosenbaum
