Nowhere near as bad as the ratings. "the other monkey has gone ape s***"

Notoriously bad movie, though not a lot worse than it's 1976 predecessor. Not as awful as I expected, though it's reliably cheesy and the special effects are variable. The biggest crime is the lack of imagination, and stretching the King Kong story to a stupid level.

The King lives in this trumped up sequel to the 1976 remake of _King Kong_. After being kept on life support for ten years scientists resurrect Kong with a blood transfusion from a second giant ape, who he then breaks out of captivity and runs off with. The script is ridiculously bad and is full of clichés. Linda Hamilton leads the cast, but the performances are all terrible. There are however, some fun action scenes as Kong wrecks shop. A poorly made B-horror film, _King Kong Lives_ is an atrocious mess that’s unworthy of the King.

Sorry, but no. King Kong deserves better. This a movie to forget. There are far better ones out there about the big ape.

Critics mentioned several times that the film was pretty boring. I would have to agree, this is the definition of "meh". 5/10
