| Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)John BeifussColorful, cartoonish fun, with an improved Toho Kong who eventually battles a 'robot Kong' created by evil Dr. Who (Hideyo Amamoto), variously described as 'an Oriental skeleton,' 'an international Judas' and 'a devil who lies like a gutter rat.' Ouch. |
| Antagony & EcstasyTim BraytonWeird and random without being particularly memorable, and it's very difficult to feel even a little bit sad that Toho never bothered trying to get Kong back after this picture. |
| User ReviewChris R..u probs don't want to trust my opinion on this. ..I'ma huge King Kong fan. ..if i wasnt a fan, i'd probs tell ya its crap. |
| User ReviewColby GLooking at this film from the perspective of a serious, overtly stubborn point of view may lead one to believe that this film is the utter scum of the Earth. However, I believe that this is not only an entertaining film, but comedy unmatched by any other film. From the toy submarine, to the costumes with the actors visible underneath, this movie provides pure joy to whoever is lucky enough to view it. So I implore you, support the comedy. Buy. This. Film. |
| User Reviewmohamed sA co-production between Toho and Rankin-Bass=giant monsters and Japanese actors with voices out of holiday specials. Paul Frees is the voice of Doctor Who (not THAT one). Watch in amazement, as Kong almost loses his head many times, and makes a dinosaur vomit foam. |
| User ReviewRussell CClassic fun B-Movie. It is a keeper. I hope Legendary will remake this as part of their Godzilla King Kong series of movies. |
| User ReviewPeter WI've always liked this film and both King Kong and the robot Kong designs. Also the English edit is alright for those of you who don't like subs. |
| User Reviewdan bDespite other people views and opinions, This was a fav of mine when i was young. I think i was a Kong fan back then and the Toho prodcued monster film with a big hollywood name for the 60s comes this. I like the effects and the fight scenes and most of all i love KING KONG!!! |
| User ReviewDavid JThis movie is intentionally mindless & stupid so you can't bash it for either of those things but I do understand why people don't like this movie it's campy & cheesy but if that's a bad thing then sign me up because I love it. Not as good as some of the King Kong movies,better then some other Kong movies. Great flick |
| User Reviewdanster bDoctor Who and MechaniKong... 'nuff said! |
