Mighty Joe Young

USA 1999, 110 minutes
Dir. Ron Underwood
Rating: [PG]
Genres: Family / Adventure

Aroview: Good natured eco-action movie, a remake of the 1949 film of the same name (KING KONG lite, if you will), follows the re-habitation of an endangered outsized African gorilla into the 'safe' environment of metropolitan LA.

Homosapiens Charlize Theron and Bill Paxton head a pack of impressively rendered CGI animals, with Joe himself one of Hollywood's most sympathetic synthetic creations to date.

I find this review offensive! I don’t agree with this review. I agree with this review.
2 stars (Good Try) One star for the good intentions of the plot (which unfortunately gets out of control) and another one for the GORILLA effects team. Charlize is her own star - she is radiant. ~Tubbs
