» auntydle - unfair treatment of 1976 Kong

I don't really understand the hostility towards the 1976 version of King Kong. The special effects were naturally better than the 1939 version. The plot was basically the same. The only change made was to the set-up of the main story. The reason for them being on an unexplored island, traveling on an oil tanker with the convenient cargo space, with only one woman on the whole ship were all made more logical in the oft-disparaged film. It even made a small statement about how the white culture subjugates and ultimately destroys other cultures.
