Godzilla Vs Kong: 5 Biggest Differences Between Legendary’s Kong: Skull Island And Peter Jackson’s King Kong
As we all know that one of the most awaited films from the MonsterVerse, Godzilla Vs Kong, is coming to the theaters very soon, many people want to know about a lot of differences between Peter Jackson’s King Kong and Legendary’s Kong: Skull Island. King Kong has a wide history in the cinematic world. He was introduced for the first time in the 1930s in one of the most revolutionary films with enhanced special effects ever made. Later, he would return to battle Godzilla in the 1960s. The film King Kong was remade in the year 1970. Peter Jackson also made a film on Kong in the year 1933 after The Lord Of The Rings. This film would be a retelling of Peter’s 1933 film. In this article, we have discussed the five biggest differences between Legendary’s Kong: Skull Island And Peter Jackson’s King Kong.
Biped VS Quadraped
In Jackson’s version, Kong has been portrayed as a gorilla with a huge size. As Andy Serkis is responsible for the motion capture performance, Kong fought and moved like an ape on all four limbs. This looks more realistic as Kong defeats and kills monsters by using his feet and hands. Also, the film Kong: Skull Island told the story of Kong in 1933. This Kong was partially portrayed by Toby Kebbell and has the ability to walk on two legs that seem like a humanoid. Kong was already given various martial arts fighting styles and skills to use the weapons, which were his environment.
Kong Does Not Fall In Love
The King Kong films do not show the only thrilling and adventurous part, but also show the tragic part of the character. The film King Kong by Peter Jackson kept the tradition going and shows the love of King Kong for Ann Darrow. The tragic part is the final moment of the film, in which King Kong dyes because of his love. This scene also shows Ann crying at the top of the Empire State Building. On the other hand, Kong: Skull Island is completely a different approach in which Kong has been shown as fighting and action-star. He has been shown fighting with a lot of monsters. He also saves Brie Larson’s Weaver in the climax of the film, but nothing else is there between them apart from being good friends.
The Natives Of Skull Island
The natives of Skull Island have been depicted by a night and day contrast between both the movies. The appearance of the natives shown in the version of Peter Jackson is unnatural in shape and seems to exhibit a pure nightmare fuel. On the other hand, the natives, Iwi, shown in the film Kong: Skull Island, are more peaceful. They have been shown as silent protectors of Kong. They also portray a Southern-Asian culture, which has never progressed throughout several years from huts and spears. The culture of Iwis is simple and very beautiful.
Dinosaurs And Titans
Every cinema-fan loves dinosaurs, and so Peter Jackson as he depicted the actions of dinosaurs in his King Kong version. Peter Jackson turned the Skull Island into a historic realm with the depictions of massive Brontosaurus stampede, Venatosauruses, and Venatosauruses Rex. A lot of bats, piranhadons, and bugs also depicted this. On the other hand, Kong: Skull Island introduced all different creatures. However, this film did not introduce any dinosaur but largely showcased a giant variety of fauna and flora. For example, the Spore Mantis and Bamboo Spider. Although the film Kong: Skull Island showcased a lot of giant creatures, Skullcrawlers, a reptilian Titans, is one of the biggest threats on the island.
Drastic Difference In Size
In the film Kong: Skull Island, Kong is certainly still childish and somewhere immature. In this film, the height of Kong has been shown 100 feet tall. You will be able to see his full size that is more than 300 feet tall, in the upcoming film, Godzilla Vs Kong. This is another difference in the Peter Jackson version of Kong, where the height of Kong is 40-50 feet. It is still considered to be a huge monster in the film as he defeats three V-Rex dinosaurs by himself.
This article concludes with some of the biggest differences that can be established between the Peter Jackson version of King Kong and the legendary Kong: Skull Island.
