Review title: THE ORIGINAL KONG'S UGLY COUSIN
Product review: Abominable remake of the 1930's classic updated for 70s counter-culture sensibilities. Pales next to the original in every conceivable area--acting, characterization, sets, cinematography, and writing. *Especially* writing, as this has to win the prize for all-time worst dialogue hands down. Even the FX are inferior to the original's, which boasts a far more dynamic and empathetic titular monster and vastly more convincing and exciting action sequences. It's all particularly disappointing considering the talent involved in this picture's creation, produced as it was by Dino de Laurentiis and boasting a cast of Jessica Lange, Charles Grodin, and Jeff Bridges with Rick Baker handling the special effects. But for whatever reason, it just doesn't work. The final product is a trite, brain-numbing and instantly outdated parody of its classic forefather. I'm afraid the best thing about this turkey is how much more it makes you appreciate the original.
