Personally, the 1976 is my most favorite version.

Simply stated my own opinion. Everyone is entitled to their own.
You asked a pretty question; I've given you the ugly answer.

Personally, this version is my least favorite.
The 1930s version with Fay Wray was terrific. Her first sight of Kong was horrifying.
Peter Jackson's version was a masterpiece. CGI was called for, and done well in that case.
And with this statement you're Wikipedia's King Kong. 🤪

Wikipedia summaries always flatten the story, especially for productions as chaotic as this one. Studio expectations, technical limits and audience trends back then all pulled in different directions. I think the marketing tried to position it as the next giant event, which creates that “bigger than JAWS” myth. Ironically, that’s similar to how
now top paying online casino NZ sites are incredibly popular
while still relying on old-school hype.

And the movie hadn't "clearly underperformed".
It earned more than three times its budget.
Exactly, ya park bench ass!

I'm surprised a sequel was even made, since the film clearly underperformed.

The sad part is…people take Wikipedia for truth and it somehow becomes facts.
I guess if anyone can edit anything..

The sad part is that you spit out one OP after the other, telling Scheiße.
It wasn't Wikipedia who claimed, King Kong (1976) would be bigger than Jaws.
Producer Laurentiis said that and Wiki only quoted him.
And the movie hadn't
"clearly underperformed"
.
It earned more than three times its budget.
Box office
King Kong did not match De Laurentiis's or studio expectations at the box office. Laurentiis claimed that the film would outgross the previous year's Jaws and Paramount expected it to gross $150 million. Despite the perceived failure, the film was highly profitable, earning back over triple its budget.
