Review of King Kong Escapes

In what could have been called King Kong Vs. Meka Kong, Kong is captured by the evil Dr. Who to dig for diamonds when a robotic replica of him, Meka Kong, fails to be able to do so. King Kong escapes, battles Gorasaurus and I think a giant sea snake, then eventually battles Meka Kong atop a skyscraper which leaves Tokyo in peril. This was the second Japanese Kong film after King Kong Vs. Godzilla (1962) and is a great entry to the Kong series! Though not as good as the previous three Kong films, this film is action packed and sometimes seems more like a Godzilla film. I think I only saw this movie once as a young child (I was still a huge Kong freak back then). In a nutshell, King Kong Escapes is an amusing fantasy giant monster film and a worthy follow-up to King Kong Vs. Godzilla. Overall I would give it a 7 out of 10.
