"The Original epic

"One year ago, everyone was talking about Peter Jackson's remake of
"King Kong." Rumor was, Jackson's "Kong" was one of the best films
ever and would rival "Titanic" in terms of box office."

"Well, at three hours plus, the entertaining film never quite lived up
to the hype."

"What it did succeed in doing, though, was revitalizing the true gem
in the "Kong" series, the 1933 original, directed by Merian C. Cooper.
Watching this film today, it's hard to imagine what seeing it more
than 70 years ago must have been like."
