The Son of Kong (1933)

Load of rubbish!!

Just perfect...

There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

What I enjoyed most of the Son of Kong is being able to relate to the cast and watching likable characters on the screen being portrayed by Robert Armstrong and Frank Reicher. Robert Armstrong was big get and I don't think I would have liked the movie anywhere as much as I did without him. That being said I enjoyed the story leading up the return of Skull Island and the introduction of Helen Mack. The movie lacked at times when tension should have been higher and have a little more pace without drawn out scenes. I liked the message the movie told about mistakes and having to live with them and I was content with the ending. Son of Kong is a good movie to follow up directly after King Kong but its nowhere near as good having some dull and rehashed scenes and ideas.

All the King Kong movie are good. This is a sequel to King Kong (1933). It is not as good the original 1933 version of King Kong. It is not as good as the 1976 remake of King Kong. The 2005 remake of King Kong is better. It is still good movie it as some the actors from the first one. The acting is very good. The special effects are very good. the story is very good. It is the forth best King Kong movie. The best one would be King Kong (1933). The second best would be King Kong (2005) The third best one would be King Kong (1976). I don't what more say. See it See See it. See all the King Kong movies. Great movie Great movie Great movie Great movie.

The Son of Kong is directed by Ernest B. Schoedsack and written by Ruth Rose. It stars Robert Armstrong, Helen Mack, Frank Reicher, John Marston, Victor Wong and Edward Brady. Music is by Max Steiner and cinematography by Edward Linden.The makers wisely realised that to try and emulate King Kong would be folly, especially as this sequel was hurried out within the same year. Instead a more fun approach was taken, and as a result it's not half bad entertainment as it happens.After the devastation caused to New York by King Kong, lawsuits are abound for Carl Denham (Armstrong). So when he gets the chance to go out on the ocean again with Captain Englehorn (Reicher), he grabs the chance. There's no plans to go near Skull Island again, but a sequence of events will see them pitch up there, to be met by a myriad of creatures and The Son of Kong.Little Kong is actually friendly, well to the humans he is because he is grateful to their help when he was stuck in quicksand. However, to other beasts of the island he is not so forgiving. For the first 33 minutes it's all about setting up the action carnage later in the play, characters are introduced, their reasons for being out at sea and etc. Then we get to the island and off we go. Kong scraps with dinosaurs, a bear, lizards and mother nature! The castaways are in the mix as well of course, and naturally they are thrust into a perilous life and death situation.And that's it, barely 70 minutes have passed by and it's nigh on impossible not to be smiling come the close. 7/10

The story of KING KONG (1933) does not demand a sequel, but that's never stopped Hollywood. Impossible to live up to its groundbreaking predecessor, SON OF KONG (1933) is a nice little adventure flick that serves as an epilogue to the earlier film.The movie picks up where KING KONG left off and focuses on ruined showman Carl Denham dealing with the fallout after his giant ape runs amok in New York City. He faces lawsuits and jail time and has boarded himself off from the public. He even feels remorse for his actions in the first film.Denham is reunited with Captain Englehorn and the two sail away from the scandal. Before long they learn about a treasure hidden on Kong's island and decide to return for it. Back on the savage island, the group encounters giant prehistoric monsters, dangerous jungle terrain, and a young white-haired Kong gorilla.Robert Armstrong returns as Carl Denham, with Frank Reicher reprising his role as Englehorn. They are joined this time around by Helen Mack, a cute brunette. The creative team behind KING KONG is back again, but limited by a smaller budget for this quick follow-up (released the same year as its predecessor). Willis O'Brien's stop-motion creature effects are back, but there's relatively little time spent in the jungle.The filmmakers take a more sympathetic approach to the beast this time. Kong Jr. is made to be more likable than his old man. He's given a childlike innocence and a pleasant disposition. (The sometimes comical touch given to the white-haired Kong reminded me of the bumble snow monster from RUDOLPH THE RED-NOSED REINDEER.) Spurred on by Helen Mack's character, whose father had a circus act with animals, Denham aids the giant gorilla. Feeling sorry for bringing about the elder Kong's demise, Denham figures he owes something to Junior. This kinder, gentler Kong proves to be a useful ally. The girl is not afraid of the giant ape and her understanding allows Denham to reform and possibly redeem himself.This sequel is short and sweet, only 70 minutes long. It's not at all essential to viewers of the original KONG, but it's a neat curiosity. A little-known follow-up that ultimately brings the Skull Island saga to a close. The character of Carl Denham gets a nice little resolution. Not in the same league as the earlier film, the movie is still rather enjoyable. Helen Mack sure is a cutie. I'll have to watch out for her other films.6+/10
