The 70s remake of King Kong was so so with me. Ill watch it if theres nothing else to watch on tube. Dino Delaurentis, although doing a commendable job on the movie, he commissioned Rick Baker to design Kong as a biped and the animatronics leaves much to be desired in my opinion. The 1976 remake does not hold a candle to this modern production by a long shot. Certain movies, in particular, sci-fi and horror movies, seem to benefit as multimedia technology improves. And with a cutting edge director like Peter Jackson, this movie is all the better for it. Andy Serkis does an incredible job in both rolls, King Kongs mocap and Lumpy the cook who meets a disgustingly gruesome demise. But he was there until the bitter end as they say. Bryster, ahemmmyou silly goose.
