1933 or 2005? I love both, but I do think 1933 is the best, I feel the new one is too long

1933 is one of the greatest films ever made.

Definitely the 1933 one. It's one of the greatest movies ever made. The 1976 one is ok, though not great. The 2005 one is utterly terrible.

2005 by far the worst. I really don't like anything that Peter Jackson guy has done, though.
I would say the 1933 version is best, but I do really like the 1976 version, too.

The original by far. Jackson's bloated remake really dragged and should have been two hours tops.

Just finished seeing the original, and I think that Jackson's version is better, by quite a margin. In that one, there's more mystery to the island and Kong. I think that the drama and the acting was more believable, too. In this one, Jack just talks about how women are a nuisance and Ann's just less of a nuisance and she falls for him. And Ann spends the whole movie screaming at Kong; maybe more realistic, but not very entertaining.

I also absolutely love the bug scene in King Kong 2005.
