- BELIEVE IT OR NOT THERE'S A LITTLE KONG.....HOW LITTLE?
This sequel was rushed and it is a shame,because there are some very good parts it this sequel to one of the greatest movies ever! I like that we find Carl Denham down and out with Lawyers and Bill Collectors out to get him! The buried treasure/murder sub plot isn't bad either(hey it gets them back to Skull Island). The stop motion is top notch again and little Kong is just a little too cute! Great fight sequences and an ending that is so sad, it always got me as a kid! I'd love to see Jackson turn ...

- Laughs! Thrills! Pathos!
PLOT: The film begins a month after the events of King Kong. Carl Denham (Robert Armstrong) is hiding out in his New York City apartment. He is being sued for all of the death, damage, and mayhem that resulted from Kong's rampage. Denham feels guilty about what happened to Kong and wishes that he left him back on Skull Island. Denham is later visited by Charlie (Victor Wong), the cook from the SS Venture, who says that Captain Englehorn (Frank Reicher) wants to see him. Once on the Venture, Englehorn ... Read More

- Corny but likable
This 1933 rush-job sequel to the classic "King Kong" (released the same year), is no cinematic masterpiece, but it
is a kind of warm-&-fuzzy, yet ultimately bittersweet tribute to its "parent" film (in every sense of the word). It also has a goodly share of thrills and action and, when all is said and done, is a pretty fair little popcorn flick. I'd only give it three stars normally. but I think it rates a fourth on the strength of some solid acting performances (notably those of Helen Mack...extremely ... Read More

- The Real 'Beast' Seeks Redemption
Once you get over the ridiculous coincidences, this hasty post-script to one of the greatest films of all time is fun and worthwhile. Essentially, it's about the redemption of Carl Denham. He's understood and reflected on the consequences of his greed and has rejoined the human race. But that doesn't mean he shaken-off the lure of adventure and money. His return to Skull Island allows him to redeem himself with Baby Kong who, in saving him, shows that Denham has finally been forgiven. Yet there's a suggestion that ... Read More

- oooohhh I've got those runaway blues...
WOW!!! This is an exelelnt film. It sums up the whole art deco era perfectly. My personal favorite scene in the movie was Helen Mack strumming her ukulele and singing Runaway Blues. The entire film has a exotic atmosphere, and it is exciting and fun everytime I watch it. I might not have discovered this film if it weren't for L.A. based singer Janet Klein(who has several exellent cd's available at Amazon) who sings forgotten songs from 30's films accompanied by her own ukulele! She sang "Runaway Blues" and even ... Read More
