In the original Kong is shown as a half human, half ape creature that is probably a lot more human then he is ape. He's curious and rather childlike, he's always exploring, protecting Ann and learning about things around him. He even plays with the dinosaurs he kills. In the remake Kong is definitely a lot more ape then human. He doesn't walk on two feet but instead on his feet and knuckles. He roars like a gorilla and more important he looks just like one. This Kong had a better effect on us because we can see that even though he's a giant ape he does have some humanity to him, that he has emotions. He does act a lot like an animal but at the same time you can tell he's a lot like a person. For me the remakes Kong is the better one because I actually believe he's alive.
As well as the creatures in King Kong they also used animation and even miniatures for the boat, long shots of the island, New York and many other things. This allowed them to make shots like Kong on top of the Empire state building work without it looking fake. In the remake of the classic 1933 film they use a lot different styles to bring Kong to life. The locations where almost entirely made up of miniature landscapes and small sets dresses up to look like the location.
The Original King Kong was well received by both the public and critics all over America. The remake of King Kong had a lot of good responses to it also. It could have been left alone as people may have just thought of it as another pointless remake but people enjoyed the film and a lot of critics have said they thought the film was very
