King Kong (2005)
Peter Jackson's love for the classic film, King Kong, shines through in his 2005 remake. While placing twists on much of the details he honored the original film making of Cooper and Schoedsack by making many appreciated references. For instance, Jack walks out onto the ships deck as Carl is shooting the scene from the original where 1933's jack professes his love for Ann. I enjoyed Jackson's portrayal of King Kong more the Cooper and Shoedsack's because of Kong's greater ability to express emotions. While you lose some of the 1933's charm and Kong's great full shot smile, you gain a whole new perspective on King Kong and how he is feeling throughout the movie. Using modern technology King Kong is able to finally play the star role he was ment to all those years ago. All in All i believe Jackson was able to improve on the original while making the film uniquely his.
