Kong Goes Big in Bicentennial remake review
A critical take on the 1976 King Kong film, noting a 40-foot ape, a costly production, and a mixed script. The piece contrasts the original 1933 version with the updated oil quest plot, diminishes the finale’s Empire State Building, and praises entertainment value despite flaws. It also references Rocky and its box office sleeper status.
