When I usually hear that some director is going to try and re-create a classic movie, I usually just roll my eyes and say, "Sure, you can do that, but it will always be remembered as a remake." Not this time. Peter Jackson has established himself as Lord of Adventure Films with "King Kong", one of the most breathtaking movies I can remember seeing for quite some time. I actually saw this twice, and enjoyed it both times. Jackson has made a movie that will not be remembered as a remake, but as an entity of its own, and that's something that most filmmakers dream of. The special effects are superb, the acting is great, the script never fails... I can go on and on like this for a while. For the 21st century, it's not Kong who's king... it's Jackson!
