King Kong

Accompanying him are playwright Jack Driscoll (Adrien Brody) and actress Ann Darrow (Naomi Watts), who is whisked away by the monstrous ape, Kong, after they reach the island. The crew encounters dinosaurs and other creatures as they race to rescue Ann, while the actress forms a bond with her simian captor.

This impressive remake of the 1933 classic benefits from state-of-the-art special effects but could've used more old-fashioned restraint. Full review
