Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.
A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."
It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
This is a wonderful movie. It's a sequel to the 1976 King Kong remake. It's about a female of the Kong species that's discovered and the male. The male is brought back to life with an artificial heart and he wakes up in a hospital or something and breaks free. He discovers the female. He is killed by the military and the female has a baby. It's a scary movie. One of the scary scenes is when the male Kong comes across some guys and one of them sets off an explosive which causes Kong to be buried up to his neck in rocks. One or more of the guys burn Kong with a torch or torches or something. Kong breaks out and I think tears one of them apart and eats another. The movie that this is a sequel to is what I consider to be my favorite movie.
Sequel to the 1976 remake of King Kong. Turns out the giant ape survived, here he is given an artificial heart and falls in love with the recently captured Lady Kong. Things go wrong for the couple when they escape captivity & are pursued by the military. Much of the movie is played with tongue firmly in cheek but it also centres on human - and ape - emotions, i.e. the romance not only between leads Linda Hamilton & Brian Kerwin but also between the male & female Kongs. Special effects vary from reasonable to rubbish - check out the rubber Caiman crocs - but that only adds to the so bad it's fun aspect. Yes, it's an insult to the original 1933 movie but it's also quite easy to watch, just put your brain into neutral first!
King Kong 2 Dino De Laurentiis's sequel is a crap but funny and delightful,great budge but didn't get the target,but l honestly prefer movie like that than made on graphic computer,bad but not forgotten!! Linda Hamilton was a peak of his career and beauty than ever,John Ashton is fantastic as villain and died like a dog!!Resume:First watch: 1988 / How many: 5 / Source: TV-VHS-DVD / Rating: 5
Now, don't make the mistake in thinking that this is a work of art. This film follows the tradition of the great Godzilla movies made in Tokyo. If you like those, you will like this film.It has it all - rednecks, sex, the Army, and Kong himself. No, he didn't die when he fell from the skyscraper. He has been in a coma for the last 10 years.The NRA may tell us that hunters want to preserve the population of animals for all to enjoy, but the rednecks in this film do a disservice to the organization. There was a sense of satisfaction when Kong snapped one in two like a twig, and ate another whole -- redneck poppers! Linda Hamilton is always a joy, and she did a good job here as a scientist wanting to save Kong.Kong doesn't make it, but he manages to hook up with a female and after a quickie in the bushes, they have a son. Yeah, they really stretched that, didn't they.It is just the think to watch on a Saturday afternoon with a bowl of popcorn.
