Favorite King Kong Design?

[Ultron-5]

1933

Toho

1976

2005

As iconic as the original is, I have to give this one to the Peter Jackson Kong. It looks the most like a real gorilla and it can express emotions. CGI improves the character, in my opinion.

I think Kong loses a bit when's he's just a normal gorilla just scaled up.

 

[Roose Bolton]

2005.

Andy Serkis really managed to breathe life through the fearsome and battle-scarred visage of Kong. Equal parts ferocious and noble.

 

[Gort Baringa]

That one was hard!

In the end I have to go with the original over Jackson's great interpretation.

 

[Galactus123]

The original is the best. He also looked great in the close-ups:

[Quasimod0]

Easily 2005.

 

[Hobgoblin]

I like all of them except the Toho version...and this coming from a guy that loved Godzilla vs King Kong as a kid.

 

[Blitzkrieg Bop]

I didn't know Serkis was King Kong.

 

[Boom]

I prefer Kong to be a gigantic ape monster than just an oversized gorilla.

The original, ten times out of ten.

As much as I am a huge fan of the 1933 ( Fav movie growing up) I have to go with Peter Jackson's version. beautifully updated for modern audiences.

Was the original intended to be a monster ape rather than a giant ape? I always just assumed he was supposed to look like a real gorilla
