Screen Rant

When it's good, it's very good, but when it's not, it feels really, REALLY long.

In a word, Jackson's 'King Kong,' is spectacular, awesome, phenomenal and breathtaking.

Decent Films

King Kong confirms Jackson’s mastery of action-adventure spectacle. Jackson is potentially the next Spielberg, and King Kong is his Raiders, E.T. and Jurassic Park rolled into one.

Characters are eaten, stomped, thrown, and swallowed to death.

IMDb

What raises Jackson's take on KING KONG above other rock'em-sock'em action blockbusters is that it's so clearly a labor of love in every sense of the term, a spectacle with soul and spunk.
