Synopsis: While filming on location at the mysterious Skull Island (near Sumatra) a group of filmmakers discover a giant gorilla named Kong, living in a massive jungle where creatures from prehistoric times have been protected and hidden for millions of years. As they search for the great ape, their quest puts them up against both Kong and his dinosaur enemies. Ultimately, it is the attention of a beautiful human woman (Naomi Watts) that soothes Kong long enough for him to be subdued and shipped back to New York, where his bleak future involves being put on display in front of humans... but how long can even the mightiest shackles of man hold back an ape 25 feet tall?

Comment: Jackson has been at work on the project since 1997, but Universal didn't want to compete with MIGHTY JOE YOUNG or GODZILLA so project was shelved until Jackson completed RINGS trilogy. Uni will pay Jackson & Co. a whopping 20 million against 20% of the gross.

SBD Review: 5 stars
