Customer Ratings & Reviews

Here is an example of possibly believing your own hype. Peter Jackson is truly a visionaries but this movie just goes on and on and on. Some judicious editing and trimming might have helped. But Kong looks fantastic and Andy Serkis almost steals the show.

Honestly, the only reason I bought this was because it was in a buy two get one free sale, but it's worth it if you can catch it that way. The video quality is great and the extras are worthwhile.

I like this version of Kong, showed a more gentle giant than in Skull Island and it was more about Kong and his relationship with Man and the island but be ready to cry

A totally 2 star script. CGI is the star rather, special effects were not special enough for more than 1 Star. The cinematography and audio were 4 or 5 stars.

The problem with the remake is that they have put all the focus on graphics and none on making the actual story as real as it should be.

I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of this transfer. Great sound and the higher resolution doesn't Mahe the cg look too bad.

This version of King Kong was not what I had expected because it was more like "Mighty Jie Young"

Wasn't very fun because it felt long, but worth a watch if you like monster flicks and special effects.

Didn’t purchase for me, youngest son is a King Kong fan...

This is a very long movie. Also included is an even longer version. Ok.

One of the many but a good one in the series if you like Kong

Found it in the $4.99 bin and it included the digital copy.

Not great not terrible, worth watching if you like long movies

The colors on the disc are so washed out looking thanks to some bad HDR tinkering by the studio. The first act of the movie will make you feel as though one of the kids has been messing with your tv settings while you were at work. It isn't as noticeable once the team gets too the island, but the picture still looks a bit too high on contrast and even sharp in some places. As for the audio, Universal opted only for DTS:X. No Dolby Atmos, which my receiver supports, so I couldn't utilize my overhead channels unfortunately. Overall, I'd say stick with the Blu-ray for the original (and better) colors.

Product review, not film review. While the inclusion of both theatrical and extended version of the film is nice, it’s very disappointing that the digital code is for the theatrical version only. It’s inexcusable really, considering the extended version is available digitally.

The 4K is great in the movie. The issues is that all of the CGI was not brought to 4K as well. This causes the CGI to be more noticeable. This is one of my favorite movies, so I am still glad I purchased. For the average viewer I would suggest purchasing the Blu-Ray version.

Even though this was in color and great sound, it does not match the original old Black and White film. Maybe my opinion is not fair as the first time I saw this film I did not know the story

Although the King Kong franchise took kind of a fall with this film, still worth a watch, just be prepared for a lot of needless sequences till you get to the point that you will be asking for the movie to speed up and get to the killing of the monkey.

Takes too long to get to the action, which is the point of a movie like this. Overly long and bloated, with some questionable effects and poor casting (Jack Black). If you want to watch a good Kong movie, buy Kong: Skull Island instead.

The reason I say it's no better on 4k than Blueray is because the higher definition 4k tends to expose the age of the special effects technology in the film. The greenscreen footage looks fake in 4k.
