Given that this film was made in 1976, I thought it was a very good movie. Some of the visual effects were actually pretty good (maybe not compared to today's standards, but still good) and some of the shots must have been very complicated shots. The only complaint I have is the look of "Kong", mainly his face, it just didn't look right. Sometimes it looked pretty good, but other times I thought it just looked horrible. Also, there were a number of times that you could tell it was obviously just a man in a suite. This would be a great candidate for a remake with all the advances in special effects that we have today.
As far as acting goes, I thought all the actors did a great job. It was really cool to see Jeff Bridges (who will be forever known as "The Dude" to me...from "The Big Lebowski" if you didn't know) in one of his first films. Jessica Lange looked absolutely incredible in this film, and did a fine job of acting. It was also cool to see Charles Grodin in one of his earlier films.
All in all, I thought it was a pretty good film, and it's definitely something you should see if you're into the sci-fi genre, cause there are so many films that reference this film (and the original) that you may as well find out what their referencing. Anyhow, thanks for reading,
