i honestly got distracted by the whole big monkey situation after the best conversation i’ve ever heard in a film, “i love you” “but jack, you hate women”, was delivered about 20 minutes in... i literally could think of nothing else for the rest of the film i was in fucking hysterics

King Kong was and always will be a rip-roaring, dynamic, and stunning adventure film, overloaded with spectacular set-pieces and a classical sense of tragedy. The magical stop-motion effects still are unmistakably brilliant, and combined with the marvelous matte work, this 1933 classic is unrelentingly vital, never stopping and always providing a genuine aura of spectacle.

Really disappointing that an otherwise enjoyable movie about how women should not be on boats suddenly becomes about giant monkey! Sad!

Damn honestly imagine you’re alive during the Great Depression and just straight chillin in your nice New York City apartment you can somehow still afford only to be murdered by some massive fucking ape for absolutely no reason simply due to the fact that some fucking white guy stole him from an island after that exact same gigantic animal completely massacred an entire village all because he was horny for some basic blonde bitch who ain’t even his same species

When I was five we used to rent this from Blockbuster and I would watch it over and over. Didn't bother me at the time but I don't know that I would show this to a five year old. I hate to take the Hays Code's side but this movie is the 1933 equivalent of showing up to the Hays Code's apartment at two in the morning soaking wet and holding a gun, shouting "give me a fucking reason!!"
Some of the all-time images of film in this bad boy. Every time King Kong looked at the screen and smiled I felt an emotion I only feel when I'm watching this movie.

Unbridled creativity, so stuffed with technical sorcery you‘ll have to think up new adjectives just to describe it! Even in the face of its world-dominating impact, King Kong’s contribution to the evolution of cinema cannot be underestimated. It’s no secret that Willis O’Brien’s pioneering animation directly inspired the magical work of the great Ray Harryhausen, but the real key to its importance lies in its record-breaking gross. Kong’s revenue is often credited as the reason for saving RKO from bankruptcy, rescuing the company set to produce what would become the world’s most critically revered picture. To put it simply, no King Kong, no Citizen Kane. That is just huge. Wrapped neatly in a cautionary tale of the liberties artists take to tell…
