About
If you enjoy campy giant-monster mayhem and don't mind a blatant King Kong-style setup, this can be a fun, goofy watch; Not for you if you want polished drama, strong characters, or serious storytelling.
Pros: fast-paced monster action; campy fun; memorable ape rampage | Cons: messy story; cheesy effects; weak characters
