It's fun! This movie got terrible reviews but I gotta say: if you enjoy the other King Kong films and are a fan, it's an enjoyable flick. It's brimming with intentional goofiness and gags, and while not an astonishingly great piece cinema like the '33 classic, at least it's fun, and surpasses all the other 'Kongs' except for Peter Jackson's remake. The script is pretty tight (for a sequel) and there are a couple memorable action setpieces ... lots of ill-meaning soldiers get crushed, Kong style. The acting is fine, the 80's special effects serve their purpose, and the score is actually quite colorful and carries the movie well.
If you were entertained at all by the '76 original, this is definitely worth watching. There are only a handful of King Kong movies to choose from, after all.
score 10/10
