: King Kong

Director: Peter Jackson

Really impressive film. I didn’t remember the original that well (except for the cheesy special effects), but this one gives it epic scale and realism the story deserves. In terms of special effects, I was slightly disappointed: while the digital animals and such are amazing and completely believable, it seems compositing is still a skill that needs work, as in several scenes the assemblage of people and digital creatures seemed slightly fake. But that’s a minor complaint. Overall, the film and story work. It’s a fun adventure ride with a real story behind it.
