Customer Reviews

Movie vs. DVD - Please Specify!
I am getting tired of people writing lengthy movie synopsis and critiques and saying nothing about the DVD they watched - "if" they watch it. We come to places like Amazon to BUY DVDs and not rent movies. Some titles have multiple releases and trying to find the best can be a challenge and that is where a Review about the DVD is more important than one about the movie itself. Movie reviews can be read at places like IMDb.

I had to rate the film to post this message and having seen and own it on the Alpha version DVD (which is a bargain and excellent quality compared to Criterion), I gave it 4 stars.

Very nicely colorized
This fun movie was made with the King Kong actors and sets while King Kong was being shot. This DVD version is so nicely colorized that in some respects it looks better than do contemporaneous color features. This is a commercial adventure story- it isn't a work of film noir or German expressionism where the "art" is desecrated by colorization; as Harryhausen says it would have been filmed in color if they had the budget. So although I haven't seen all the versions (since writing Amazon reviews notwithstanding, I do have a life), I do recommend this one.

classic adventure
A Classic Adventure Movie, now enhanced in Color, and it looks very good, if you like the original King Kong, you will enjoy this.
