Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 3/5 --
The then unknown Jessica Lange plays the Fay Wray role with a valiant attempt at empathy, while Charles Grodin brings comic glee to the exploitative oilman. It's colourful, noisy and fun.

Radio Times
A remake that lacks the magic of the original, but is as camp and entertaining as any other disaster movie of its time.

What sort, exactly, is this movie?
New York Times
Faithful in substantial degree not only to the letter but also the spirit of the 1933 classic for RKO, this $22 million-plus version neatly balances superb special effects with solid dramatic credibility.

Variety
It's a remake that was a good idea, because it's bigger newer and better than the old one.

Los Angeles Free Press
However much we laughed, I resented the film's tendency to nudge and wink at us.

The Spectator
Rating: 3/4 --
Common wisdom contends that Dino De Laurentiis' big-budget remake of Merian C. Cooper's classic 1933 film, King Kong, is a bad movie. And, viewed from a certain perspective, perhaps it is, but it's also a lot of fun.
