King Kong lives...and the audience dies of boredom., 20 June 2005
Author:
Scott LeBrun from Winnipeg, Canada
Incredibly, foolishly silly sequel to the 1976 version of "King Kong"
in which the colossal gorilla is being kept barely alive after
plummeting from the World Trade Center in the previous movie. It's
determined that Kong needs a transfusion, and wouldn't you know it,
wise-guy adventurer / opportunist Hank Mitchell (Brian Kerwin) has
accidentally discovered another Kong of the female persuasion.
The two Kongs ultimately get together, escape, and head for the
wilderness and mate. Hank hooks up with dedicated doctor Amy Franklin
(Linda Hamilton, wearing a "WHY did I sign up for this?" expression on
her face throughout) and they try to save the two Kongs from
extermination by gonzo, trigger-happy military villain Col. Nevitt
(John Ashton, better known as "Sgt. Taggart" from the first and second
"Beverly Hills Cop" films).
The film-makers seem to have taken themselves seriously, and more's the
pity. The movie is just too darn absurd to work, with its dumb
characters, unintentional humor (at least I THINK it's unintentional),
and sometimes laughable special effects.
If you are so inclined, feel free to watch this movie and catch bad
cinema at its "finest". I'm surprised that movie was nominated for only
one Razzie!
3/10
