Customer Ratings & Reviews

REGARDING: "KING KONG" (2005) version: I already owned this movie on the 3-DVD disc set, plus the separate 2-disc dvd box set of THE MAKING OF, as well as "king Kong" (1976) DVD (which I have to admit is my favorite due to that was my generation which I grew up with, AND was at Twin Towers and saw Kong's body in summer 1976, AND recently bought -and now own- the foreign BLURAY of that), and own the 1933 original on DVD, BUT!, did not own this bluray of the 2005 Peter Jackson version, only the DVD. For a BEST price ("cheap" price, which Best Buy always has, hence "BEST BUY"), for $8 dollars, decided to purchase this. GLAD I DID! The sound is FANTASTIC! Wish it was in 7.1 sound, but 5.1 does the job! You can hear the airplanes buzzing around behind you, the roars and the fighting of the animals in the jungle all around you! AND the picture is great! Colorful, sharp, which BLU-RAY is. "BEST" is buying blurays as blurays have the BEST sound and the BEST picture! I recommend buying this movie on bluray at BEST BUY! (*Some of the extras from the dvd have not been ported over onto the bluray, but it has the extended version along with the theatrical version, plus a commentary on the long version, and few other extras. BUT should not deter you from buying this bluray). Glad I bought the bluray....at BEST BUY! BUY IT! You'll be glad you did. (*of course the original 1933 is considered the best one overall, but cannot beat color and sound of the 2005 one!) This one is GOOD. So, do not go pounding your chest to decide whether to buy or not, go climb up a building to get to BEST BUY and BUY this! You'll feel like a KING! RRRRUN to BEST BUY!

Very good 4K quality. Followed the original very well! Had one spot in the middle of the DVD that hung up!!!

It’s a great looking film. No complaints here. Not as grainy as the bluray release so I’m happy about that.

This version of the Thanksgiving special is so far the best one. Emotional and more realistic than the rest

Fun remake of a classic! love the art on the steel-book! I would recommend adding to your collection.

I have always been a fan of King Kong. This one of course is another version of the original Fay Ray... Good movie and 4K with low price made it worth it.

Big King Kong fan here. This movie is phenomenal. Jack Black and Naomi Watts make this movie come alive.

awesome movie, the 4k transfer is excellent love the clear picture and theater quality sound.

Such an awesome new cover. Loved this movie already, but now in 4K and a steelbook!? Done and done!

This is one of my favorite steelbook editions of this movie. And this movie is absolutely amazing.

Film is amazing and Peter Jackson is great at capturing the emotions and action in detail!

I think they did justice with this king Kong movie. Grew up watching all Kong movies. Love the story.

Honestly probably the best visual adaptation of the movie and with 4K it no doubt just got better

Its an old story, kong has been around since 1933, but the CGI effects really bring it to life.

What a wonderful movie this is! I truly love it, and it has always been my favorite version of Kong!

This is my favorite of all the King Kong movies. It plays homage to the original, then goes bananas!

liked the movie, love the steel book. With steel book it adds so much value to the collection.

Special effects are awesome in this movie. Now in 4K resolution and Steelbook packaging as well.

This disc included the theatrical and extended version. The extended version is almost 3 1/2 hours long. The action scenes were great.

This movie is one of my favorites all time. There is just something about how Peter Jackson just catches the feel of 1933 New York or the adventurous feeling of getting on an old barge and heading out to sea. The mystery of when they find the Island and the beauty of Kong. There are some over the top moments I could do without like the dinosaur stampede but for me the rest of the movie is top notch. The part when Kong and Watts character have one last fun light moment together on the ice in central park always brings a tear to my eye because you know what's coming for the big guy. I just really love this film. If you are wondering about the 4k this movie is top notch picture and DTS-X sound. Actually one of the best pictures I have ever seen on a 4k bluray disc. And the music score for this movie is also amazing and really adds an emotional feel to the film. Go get this one for sure!
