King Kong
That being said, we have got two new reviews that are so excited about Kong that each writer would have volunteered a visit to Skull Island.
King Kong Reviews
N.Y. Daily News has not one but two positive reviews for King Kong. I guess they figured why just send one? Each review has its own perks and both do the obvious-- shout praises and chants to Kong.

Peter Jackson's "King Kong" is the most thrilling, soulful monster picture ever made. At last, it can be said without irony - I laughed, I cried.
Oh, how I cried. The sequence in which the 25-foot beast and Ann Darrow (Naomi Watts), the blond actress he adores, slide together on a frozen pond in Central Park is one of the most innocently romantic moments ever put to film.
"King Kong" is also scary. And funny. It's everything people have ever wanted from the movies - action, romance, surprise, plus every monster menace you can buy for a budget north of $200 million. In addition to a roaring, snorting Kong, there's a stampede and deadly pileup of prehistoric dinosaurs, plus spiders and creepy-crawlies of every degree of bloodthirsty.
In short, it's brilliant.

Peter Jackson's "King Kong" doesn't open until Dec. 14, but people leaving a trio of preview screenings at an upper West Side theater yesterday were ready to yell it from the rooftops - or, if they could get there, from the top of the Empire State Building:
This ape rocks!
At three hours - divided among exhilarating action sequences, raucous humor and romance of both human and bestial variety - the latest version of the classic 1933 beauty and the beast story feels less like a remake than the original film revived, expanded and pumped up on steroids.
Holy Kong! These two guys love King Kong! You can read the entire reviews by clicking on the orange link [each open in a new window]. I was hoping we could get some fan reviews sent in to us so, if you have seen the film, hit us up.
King Kong comes to theatres on December 14th, 2005.
