This film, brilliantly directed by Peter Jackson, keeps its charm even after more than 15 years. Some effects do show their age but mainly the special effects for Kong are still amazing to this day! They are simply superb for their time. The soundtrack has a very classical feel to it but it still does a good job at conveying the emotions we see on the screen.

Apart from these points, Naomi Watts is a standout performance, especially when you consider the fact she probably had to act most of her emotional scenes while looking at a green screen dummy. Jack Black did his character well but everything around his character was predictable. No character arc or evolution whatsoever. The character of Adrian Brody is the typical good guy. Not too interesting. Overall I give it a 8. It's entertaining and beautiful and I would recommend it to almost anybody.

This movie is amazing and left me even more impressed in Denis Villeneuve's skill and mastery of the art of filmmaking.

The lore was very interesting to me but also completely new since I had no knowledge on the world of Dune before seeing the movie.

This movie started the superhero craze of the 21st century with it's riveting portrayal of one of the most beloved characters in the Marvel comics. The special effects were amazing for their time and they do sometimes show their age but it's perfectly understandable as this movie is like 20 years old. Story wise it's great. Tobey Maguire is the perfect Spider-Man in my opinion. He did look a bit older than a high schooler but he's totally believable as a college student. He really nails the nerdiness and good guy nature of Peter Parker. Something his successors would unfortunately fail to do.
