One word: Lame.
22 February 2002
This film is an absolute rip-off of the original King Kong. The Kong suit is the worse ever made (Even worse than the one in King Kong vs. Godzilla). The dinosaurs on Mondo Island are rip-offs of the ones in the original. Gorosaurus, the dinosaur Kong battles, looks like, acts like and dies like the T-Rex in King Kong. Even the camera sequences are the same. Kong also briefly fights a sea serpent that is a far cry from the serpent in the original King Kong.

One of the actors in the movie referred to Robot Kong looking like a giant toy. They could not be closer to the truth. I'm surprised you did not have to wind it up! The film's only good part, and special effects, was when he was destroyed.

There is a moral to this story: Do not tamper with a Masterpiece. Long after this film and every other King Kong rip-off has burned in Cinema Hell, King Kong (The 1933 version, mind you) will still be the best monster film ever made.
