posted by rdog on Oct 15, 2009This a good awesome movie! About a mean looking gorilla and a beautiful young woman! It is a strange thing like the beauty and the beast! They loved each other to death! Because she was the only thing that cared about him! And always calm him down! He is always very protective of her! Cause Ann has a love traingle between Jack and Kong! ITS WEIRD A GORILLA HAVE A CRUSH ON A YOUNG HELPLESS BUT CHARMING GIRL! just like it ends and I cried at the end of the movie! IT WAS BEAUTY THAT KILLED THE BEAST!
