As a kid growing up in the late 70s and 80s I admired this movie. To me it was larger than life. However, Peter Jackson came along with more tools and technology and made it what it couldn’t do in 1976. Compared to the 1930s King Kong it is more visually stunning and fluid. A cool movie for toddlers and adolescents but not timeless.
