The original was more brutal. There was actually little blood in the new version which again doesn't surprise me cause it's pg-13. Actually you could have given the new Kong a G rating. It had far less violence than a cartoon show, it's just Kong and the monsters are definitely scary as fuck. It takes a lot to get me to jump out of my seat and there's one scene where Kong roars that sent the audience straight out of our seats! I even went for my shit. Almost had a repeat of the great movie screen shooting of '83 in the Bronx.

The sound in this movie is fucking awesome! It really raised the bar.
