King Kong (2005) - (Movies To See Before You Die - Adventure)

An amazingly crafted movie with almost every scene enhanced by the computer graphics. And the 2 DVD Edition is a sure treat to watch. The movie is over 3 hours long and the intro scene of King Kong even comes after one hour in the movie. But still you don't mind the build-up of suspense and mystery around the Island where King Kong lives.

The long length of the movie seems so short as you watch the film and in the end you are there asking for more. Especially the emotions and expressions of King Kong which are shot superbly. The 2nd DVD has a Production Diary which shows each department of post production and all the other shooting units filming the miniatures and the blue screens. Such a detailed special feature DVD is only the first of its kind I suppose.

Best suited for a Saturday evening with family and specially for the children. They will love this huge creature called King Kong throwing away the Dinosaurs with his hands. The sequence when the crew lands at the Island is just superb. Naomi Watts also deserves appreciation for her emotions portrayed for the creature. So its a real treat for all in the family, simply not to be missed.
