I finally saw this film after growing up with my large hardcover Horror and Fantasy picture book or issues of Ackerman's magazine with great stills from this film appearing once in awhile. I knew the story decades before from great rip-off adaptations like in Star Trek and the seemingly hundreds of other films and shows that borrowed the concept. But I had to see the original especially with actors like Robert Armstrong and Fay Wray in the cast. I knew going in that made in 1932, it might suffer from that early 30's stagey look and thin & linear storylines. I wasn't wrong but I was also impressed nonetheless. Utilizing some of the Kong sets was a pure thrill well worth the watch in itself.
I am not one to endorse remakes... sorry the politically correct, corporate branding and user friendly term is re-booting, of old films but this one is due a serious re"make" with much needed story lines fleshed out or discarded elements from the book re-inserted.
