May of todays kids have absolutely no idea about what movies or songs are remakes or covers from 'masterpieces'.
Lots of them think Madonna wrote American Pie, lots of them thing Dr Dolittle was originally played by Eddie Murphy.
Society as a whole is getting dumber, this is great for music and movie companies, not to mention the thousands of other corporations in the U.S who like Americans to be dumb so they can continue selling their recycled crap every 5-10 years.

Whatever. Peter Jackson has been a fan of KING KONG fan since the age of 9 when he saw the movie. This prompted him to become a filmmaker too. A lot of his own money is invested in this remake as well. IN fact, the studio wouldn't finance the film when he wanted to make the movie back in the late 90s. It was only until after the success of the LORD OF THE RINGS trilogy did they let him. This was a labour of love for Jackson. I think you're picking on the wrong movie here. See it before you criticize it.
