This is was not a good idea. To make a remake of a monster movie and make it kid friendly. The original King Kong is one of the scariest movie of all time. And this animated remake is sappy. It has a bunch of awful music numbers. See Son of Kong. That is good movie. If you have seen the original King Kong there is no point to seeing this movie. King Kong vs Godzilla is so such better then this movie. King Kong escapes is also a lot better. The 1976 remake of King Kong is also a lot better. This is a very scary movie. King Kong lives is a lot better. the Animated series of Kong from 2000-2006 is also a lot better. Kong King of Atlats is also a lot better. The King Kong remake from 2005 is very scary. That is also a lot better. Kong Skull island is also a lot better. This movie is just campy. I do not believe in the rating system. If I would a kid to know the story of King Kong. I would shown them any version except this one. It is so stupid. 5.1 is overrating this movie. I give this 4. Do not see it. See any live action version of King Kong do not see this.

I just don't get some people, I mean how could anyone hate this movie so much? They complain that it's for kids - gee, ya think? I mean, it only has the Bugs Bunny/Warner logo along with a big smiling cartoon gorilla on the cover.I have 4 nieces, 2 nephews, have shown this film to all of them, they all love it, and honestly, I enjoyed it too unlike some kid's movies I've been forced to sit through, and yes I do like original Kong and '76 version.So, I say, give this film a try, it's one of the few films that boys and girls can like, and an adult can at least sit through and be entertained.SPOILER ALERT: For any adult thinking of getting this, if you are worried about the ending, no, Kong doesn't die, there is still the showdown on the Empire State Building but....well, you'll see.

Honestly, me being an avid original Kong fan, this film was a disgrace. I can't help but feel that it's just dumbing down an advanced story for a wider audience. If you're like, under the age of 5, like bad songs, and want a more family friendly ending, because Kong dying was too "mean", then you'll love this piece of crap of a movie. So much about the original story is omitted. Kong does no rampaging, he's friendly, and doesn't die at the end. For god's sake, they raped one of the greatest films of all time, and my personal favorite movie of all time! You mother f*ckers! I'll kill you! I'll kill you!!!But i digress.Anyway, the movie blows, if you have any knowledge of the original story and have a non- lobotomized brain. The grittiness that they robbed from the original story just causes the movie to lack any sort of depth. And rather than compliment the story, the songs cheapen it and arrive at abrupt times. If you have a brain, skip this putrid pile of platypus sh*t. You can do without it.

Warning: A few minor spoilersThis is a great movie. It follows the original better than the '76 remake. But Kong is standing up on his hind legs like the remake. And Ann still weeps his death like in the remake. And they included the scene in the remake where Kong bathes Ann. But all the characters return from the original. No Dwan, Jack Prescott, or Smith anywhere. All dinos return. The famous line returned too."It was Beauty that killed the beast"
