The Mighty Kong 98 animated movie

[Kevin Hamilton]

So this is on Amazon right now. Had never seen it, but as a massive Kong fan I figured I'd give it a shot. Woof. This thing. It's a musical where so far no one can sing, and the animation is terrible.

You remember those animated Titanic movies Nostalgic Critic reviewed before he became completely insufferable? This is better than those, but it's in that same vein.

It's only 75 minutes, but I'm only 10 minutes and man it's a slog. They haven't even left New York yet.

This was also apparently Dudley Moore's last movie which is kinda sad.

I feel compelled to finish it though just to see how shitty it might get.

The answer?

Very shitty.

Not even entertainingly bad, just boring.

Oh and Kong somehow lives. After he takes out a few planes, they have the idea to get him off there with two blimps and a net. He takes out the first blimp but the second tangles him up in the net. But that doesn't matter as he falls off Empire state building anyway.

Crashes to the ground, Denham gives the whole "beauty killed the beast" closing line.

Then Kong opens his eyes. No one draws any attention to it, the cabin boy's monkey (yeah there's a cabin boy and a monkey in this) looks happy, but no one else seems to notice Kong is completely unharmed and is probably gonna get up and kill everyone---credits just roll like it's a happy ending. There's a love duet from Ann&Jack Driscoll just before it fades to black.

I had this movie. It was one of those movies that I don't actually remember getting, and my parents probably picked it out of a discount bin somewhere.

I remember almost nothing about it, because I almost never watched it. Like, there were probably worse movies that I owned that I watched more than that one. It was just flat-out uninteresting.
