The great ape himself is really the big star of the wonderful show , delivering the necessary goods to surprise and wonder us . Kong gives an enormous spectacle made with a level of photo-realist detail so expensive and intricate as to be unimaginable to the Stop-Motion , painted-glass by maestros Willis O'Brian and Ray Harryhausen in 1933 King Kong version directed by Ernest B Schoedsack and Merian C. Cooper or the animatronicist with Kong made by Carlo Rambaldi of the 1976 version or the former 2005 by Peter Jackson , made by means of abundant digital effects similar to this last one , Kong : Skull island . It is a stunning technical achievement , but one that threatens to overwhelm the potent tale it supposedly serves . All over two hours , the movie's gigantism extends ways beyond the scale of its effects . The script attempts hard to build on its more interesting components , mixing adventures , military feats and jungle battles as wel as songs in ¨Apocalypse Now¨ style . The screenplay is unreservedly on the side of Kong , in spite of making an excessive massacre, more than the proud and vengeful Colonel Packard/Samuel L. Jackson . And the movie's spiriited climax is worthy of its ancestry . The fim packs a colorful and brilliant cinematogaphy by Larry Fong .Being shot on several locations in Oahu, Hawaii, USA , Los Angeles, California, Chicago , Illinois ,Tân Hoá, Quang Binh, Vietnam Ha Long Bay,Quang Ninh,Vietnam ,Moreton Bay, Gold Coast, Mount Tamborine, Queensland, Australia ,Village Roadshow Studios, Oxenford, Queensland,Australia .As well as a moving and thrilling musical score by Henry Jackman.
