  Great blu-ray of the big KONG package that WB issued in 2005. Image quality and sound have improved significantly. The commentary in still terrific and the extras are truly phenomenal. Still missing is a the Criterion laser disc package with a wonderful commentary track by Ronald Haver. I've had that since 1985. That was featured on the Criterion Channel, recently, which made me think that they might re-issue it on modern media. At that time, I didn't know that the Warner set had been released. So, it was pleasant surprise to find it. So, for fans of the original, this is a bonanza!

  Although this movie icon has seem many incarnations the original in glorious black and white is still the best. Great acting and amazing effects for the time. The airplanes didn't kill Kong it was beauty who killed the beast.

  This review is from King Kong (1933)

  The transfer to blu-ray is remarkable considering the movie was produced in 1933. To this day, it's still my favorite version of King Kong.
