| CinePassionFernando F. CroceFails to match the simple, handmade artistry of the original |
| Big Picture Big SoundJoe LozitoMr. Jackson not only improves on the original, he somehow seems to create the film that King Kong was always meant to be. |
| Eye for FilmAnton Bitelfunny, frightening, romantic, nostalgic, moving and grimly fatalistic, it races along, like its central character, with a speed and grace that utterly belies its great size. |
| MoviolaJorge Avila AndradeRemake que supera en muchas cosas al original y que demuestra el talento y la magia para contar historias de uno de los genios contemporáneos del cine. |
| Empire MagazineDan JolinUnlike its newly trim director, Kong does boast some flab around the middle but by the final reel there’s little doubt that what could have been Jackson’s folly is a triumph, the kind of romantic action spectacle that makes the big screen silver and provides box-office gold. Puts the prime in primate. |
| San Antonio Express-NewsLarry RatliffThe only slipup is a forgivable one. Jackson continues to be reluctant to leave a world he has so magnificently created. At a little over three hours, King Kong is a bit of a bum-number. |
| Cinema em CenaPablo VillaçaEm meio a tanta ação, Jackson consegue criar uma história de amor verossímil entre um gorila de 8 metros e uma frágil loira. Não dá pra exigir mais do que isso, não é mesmo? |
| CinenganosLuis MartinezDigno de ser llamado, la Octava Maravilla del mundo. |
| Palm Beach Daily NewsFrank HoustonA nearly seamless blend of cutting edge technology with much of the original's sensibility - Jackson's giant ape may be a special effect, but he is also a real character. |
| Entertainment InsidersJonathan W. HickmanWith King Kong (2005), Jackson has made a film that if you don't like it, you might just hate movies. |
