If you loved The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, try King Kong
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. King Kong has roughly 3.2× fewer votes than The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring — it's a deeper cut, not a mainstream recommendation. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Peter Jackson, and they sit in Action / Adventure territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What King Kong is
Skull Island jungle darkness a biplane overhead. A film crew lands, cameras and cages at the ready, a beast awaits. Jackson reshapes a classic monster for a new era.
