-> In the 1933 ''[[Film/KingKong1933 King Kong]]'', the islanders’ capture of Anne Darrow led to 30 solid minutes of chases, dinosaur fights, and monster rampages, all realized by Willis O’Brien’s groundbreaking stop-motion animation and some of the best image-compositing work in cinema history. This version, on the other hand, gives us a man in a gorilla suit. Okay, so it’s a Creator/RickBaker gorilla suit, and Baker’s gorilla suits have always been the finest in the world, ''but it’s still a goddamned gorilla suit, and at no point is that ever not obvious!'' And the incredibly exciting pursuit of Kong through the jungle has been truncated to two incredibly lame set-pieces: the log-bridge scene, and a battle between Kong and one of the worst rubber snakes ever built by a professional special effects crew. These two scenes show up the technical deficiencies of the Di Laurentiis ''King Kong'' like nothing else does. In the log scene, the effects team mainly shows the three elements of the action— Kong, the men on the log, and Prescott taking cover in the crevice on the cliff-face a few yards below— individually, rather than go through the effort expended by O’Brien 43 years before, and present all three in a single amazing shot. The snake fight scene is this ''King Kong''’s surrogate for all of O’Brien’s awe-inspiring monster battles, and falls even flatter than the log scene. The snake itself is outright embarrassing; I bought equally convincing rubber snakes from the Kresgie’s toy department when I was eight years old. And what’s more, the interaction between it and Kong is in the vein of ''Creator/BelaLugosi’s climactic grapple with the octopus in Film/''BrideOfTheMonster''. Rick Baker (inside the monkey suit) just holds onto the snake and waves it around, pretending to struggle with it!
