King Kong (2005)
Monday, April 3rd, 2006Then what kind of person are you, Mr.Denham?
Now that it’s hit the video shelves, King Kong (see original review) has been cemented in box office history as a hugely successful failure. Its half-billion dollar take was a huge disappointment compared to the desperately unrealistic hopes of a movie industry still reeling from a year of disappointments. Kong was supposed to ride in on a white horse and single-handedly rescue 2005 with a gross that would make Titanic look like Heaven’s Gate. I guess that was too much too expect for one film. Either that or the white horse just collapsed under the weight of the 25-foot gorilla on its back.
