Movie Reviews of The King Kong Collection (King Kong Two-Disc Special Edition/Son of Kong/Mighty Joe Young)
Movie Review: 5 STARS FOR ORIGINAL KONG
Summary: 5 Stars
Finally available in a beautiful restored and remastered transfer from the best available elements, KING KONG, the single most requested title for DVD, is part of three title THE KING KONG COLLECTION). Besides the two-disc King Kong, there's Son of Kong and Mighty Joe Young.
Kong co-writer/producer/director Merian C. Cooper's real life was a blue print for fictional big ape filmmaker Carl Denham. One of the features on the superb two-disc King Kong is a new TCM documentary on the legendary Kong creator Cooper. Adventurer, war hero, explorer, pilot, filmmaker and cinema-innovator, the daring and honorable Cooper survived multiple wartime plane crashes, was declared dead on two occasions and even pulled off a daring escape after being held prisoner for ten months in a Russian POW camp.
The other great extra is a new, extraordinary seven-part, two hour and 40 minute documentary on the making of Kong.
However you look at it, King Kong must be included among the most influential of American films.
This beautifully executed original tale is a monster movie, a fantasy, an adventure, a love story, a tragedy and an unparalleled thriller. Loaded with striking imagery, the innovative 1933 effects still have power to suspend disbelief. The film, packed with meaning, is religious, mythological, Jungian and insanely Freudian.
The restored print has the look of a fine Dor? engraving. King Kong is a must have and perfect appetizer for Peter Jackson's overwrought, but stunning remake.
