Not Bad Disney Film Shocker
By AlPhilp from London , 11 Jul 2005[Highly rated reviewer]
Right, continuing my theme of checking out all available giant ape related movies ahead of Peter Jackson’s King Kong I had a look at this. It is in essence a straight up kids film but it follows the Giant Ape Film Rules perfectly - the story arc is ; Act One : Introducing the Giant Ape, Lord of his domain, Act Two : Giant Ape in captivity, Act Three : Giant Ape, er, goes ape – smash, crash, boom (and most importantly climbs up / falls off iconic totem of our civilisation).
What is more, whilst adhering to The Giant Ape Film Rules the film is very well executed: it is entertaining and even moving, and the special effects are pretty great too – the CGI and what I assume is puppetry is done very convincingly. So far 'King Kong' (1933) is the daddy of them all, then this for confidence, story arc and special effects, then 'King Kong' (1976) with its woeful effects and then, well, not even I dare go to 'King Kong Lives'… If you have a spare couple of hours check 'Mighty Joe' out.- Was this review helpful to you?
