Well, I think the original is an archaic and awkwardly outdated relic that is best enjoyed by placing it in the context of what they were able to accomplish with that era's technology. As far as I was concerned, there wasn't really all that much to step up to in the first place. The performances by the actors were wooden and flat, and Kong? Well, I never once felt connected to him.

And I rather liked the music in Jackson's.

Oh well. Guess it just goes to show that you can have a variety of opinions on the same topic.
