It doesn't help that this version of Kong was at L.A.'s Universal Studios on the back lot tour in all it's subway train derailing glory, although seeing that scene in the film was actually the best thing about this version.
It also really doesn't help that Kong is just a fella in a monkey suit and the main SFX is merely a large animatronic hand that Jessica Lange has to push herself into each and every time it appears on screen.
In short this film is a bit rubbish. |
Nowhere near as bad as the sequel, 'Queen Kong'
Boy, that one IS a stinker
