Where to Watch King Kong
- marcusziadeJune 29, 2026A masterpiece. Everyone should see this movie.
- Rowan KrzysiakMarch 30, 2025It's faithful to the original with additional bits that are mostly welcomed and that add depth. The realisation of Kong is still spectacular decades later. If this was trimmed by 45 minutes or so I think it could've been a masterpiece. I watched it with kids and they loved it.
- Sharon HenryApril 9, 2026Love this movie

- Lorenzo CostaApril 3, 2026An absolute masterpiece. Yes it's long, but it's all interesting and worthy. Amazing movie, like they don't make them anymore.
- Edgar_thaFNaFnerdJanuary 11, 2026Anyone who says that this movie is garbage must be crazy. I personally love this movie from the bottom of my heart, it’s a top 5 Peter Jackson movie
- Sven KretschmannOctober 11, 2025Visually stunning. Too much time on the ship kills the pacing. Therefore too long. But still entertaining enough to enjoy. Historic NY looks great. Female lead stands out.
- Michael FosterSeptember 18, 2025You can tell Peter Jackson loves this story. Beyond all the special effects, he leaves a soul on screen with the immense talents of Andy Serkis and Naomi Watts. It’s not a perfect film, but what’s done right is pure, thrilling, and ‘beautiful’. This King Kong shows us connection and heart like never before.
- ArtemisNovaJune 14, 2025long and bad
- The Movie HaterMay 3, 2025I am sorry, little one, but I must hate you too, for it is in my nature.
- Blast HardcheeseJanuary 14, 2025Too long and bit slow.
