Advantages: educational, second language

...be bought on video quite cheaply at the moment, (if you can find them!) because of the transition from ITV to BBC! Although this series is suitable for up to seven year olds, I would imagine it captivating for younger! My two year old loves it after only seeing it for a few days!

Advantages: Fantastic action scenes and special effects
Disadvantages: Some missing bits

.... The sound and graphics are great, making a sense of mystery, shock and terror. In the limited edition DVD, it comes with a bonus DVD with the “extra parts.” On this second DVD are personal stories of the actors, pre-production, extra and special scenes as well as special effects used and much more. There are a few, small improvements that could be made. Firstly, some important scenes were cut out, for example, the scene when Kong should have fallen from the empire state building, but the special effects made it look bad and had to be taken out. Also, there was nothing on the restoration that took years to finish. All in all, I would recommend this film to anyone. It has great graphics making it look realistic and even in cases make you feel like you are there. I would rate it 9/10, an extremely good score. Costs around £14.99 in shops... Read review

The first was the background story to Carl, and the second is without a flicker of doubt the astounding special effects. You have already read about how beautiful the island looks, but that truly is nothing compared to the beauty of that which inhabits it (apart from the natives). When Kong finally decides to make it to the screens, he is astounding. Played by the same chap responsible for Gollum, he is single handedly the most incredible piece of CG ever. You can note (if you wish, and have little life) every single fine strand of hair on his constantly heaving body, every single wrinkle on his face move and flex as he roars, and even the different ways that light plays and dances across his massive bulk, and even in his eyes. The way he moves... Read review
