Lets begin:
In the beginning of the movie, it opens with film of the New York Zoos many animals including monkeys, apes, tigers and more. It is foreshadowing already what the movie is about. The song it opens with is catchy and the beginning hooks the viewer in with its images and tone. The setting is old time New York in the big crowded city with everyone walking around, the traffic jams, and common events that happened in New York back then. After the introduction it opens with Naomi Watts in the theater that closes down which "jump starts" the movie. Then they cut to Jack Black an ambitious movie maker who craves money, to be famous, and to make a great movie. Later the two characters meet and have dinner and talk about the movie business and eventually end up on the ship towards the island. On the ship we meet Jack (Adrien Brody) another main character in the movie who plays an actor of a movie in a movie. The ship leaves before he can get off and he is forced to go to the island. Throughout the movie they continue to play exiting music to influence your mood and feelings. On the ship Jack and Naomi develop a relationship that carries on throughout the movie. They soon reach the island but their ship is crashed and now they are stranded until they can find a way off. On the island all of the people just want to get off of the island while the main character (Jack Black) just wants to make a good movie. When they land on the island none of them have any idea where they are but they think it is deserted and nobody has lived there for hundreds of years. By their surprised they are attacked and imprisoned by a group of scary looking "black" people that are in a tribe. Before they meet those people and before they even show what happens they show skulls and sounds that are made to male the viewer feel frightened and nervous about whats going to happen. After they escape the tribe and make it back on the ship which they manage to get working a group of the tribe manages to make it on the ship and take Ann (Naomi Watts) where they then attempt to sacrifice her to king Kong. Once the crew members of the ship realize she is gone they rush over to the island to save her, But by the time they got there she was already taken by King Kong. As time goes on and they are looking for her they go through some pretty rigorous task and some people end up dying. The detail of the island and the scenes on it are just spectacular. It is edited to look like an old prehistoric dangerous island with dinosaurs, giant insects, and of course King Kong.
Ironically King Kong and Ann (Naomi) develop a kind of friendly relationship where he protects her from the dangers like dinosaurs and more. Speaking of the dinosaur scene the director really does a great job on making the events in the movie action packed and constant as the viewer remains ambitious throughout the movie even if he/she has already seen it. After the crew meets up with Ann and King Kong they start fighting and the crew members end up winning which in effect causes them to take King Kong back to New York with them where he starts trouble and escapes from the chains that were holding him down. All he wanted was to find Ann and as soon as he saw Jack (Adrien) he got intensely angry and tried to kill him. Later when King Kong finds Ann he tries to take her and have her all by himself, climbing to the top of the Empire State building where he is then gunned down and killed by the humans of New York City. In the end the movie becomes a big hit and they make a lot off money off of it which was the goal. Although they reached their ultimate goal of money and or fame, they all (the survivors) changed as they realized that their life would never be the same.
Overall King Kong is an excellent action packed 10/10 rated movie that I would recommend to you if you haven't seen it. The movie is a perfect example of everything that you would want in a movie such as drama, tragedy, love, action, and more. This movie has earned a spot on the list of the greatest movies of all time and will continue to be on that list.
