Kong: Le roi des singes

This show looked and sounded like it was created by a couple of 10- year-olds who got their hands on some animation software. The dialogue was trite and clichéd and the plot about as predictable as you could possibly imagine. Add to that the patently obvious and preachy "we must save the environment" message and you have one of the worst animated shows I've ever seen. (And mind you, I'm an environmentalist-- but the heavy-handedness of the messaging was gag-inducing.)

I watched this show with my kids because I'm a big fan of Kong in its previous incarnations, but this one was a waste of time. And my kids' complete lack of reaction throughout the entire hour and ten minutes of the premier episode tells me that they agree.

So many people want classic or iconic characters to look the same and for the story line to never change. I understand that but as storytellers, we all want to try new directions and expand our imagination. This take on King Kong achieves that goal and is fun and set in 2050 which allows for the future to meet the past. It is a fun movie and the reception worldwide has been awesome. Season 2 is already in production. With Tarzan and Jane launching today on Netflix, how great would it be to see a Tarzan Vs. Kong series next? Would love that! After all, Tarzan is a human raised by a gorilla while Kong is a gorilla raised by humans. It has never been done and could be a lot of fun.

Netflix sure took some bold step in investing making this series. To be frank, the animation was pathetic in addition to story. The story was too childish. Even my nephew, 16 years old, couldn't watch it beyond second episode like there is nothing to watch in this show. He watches even the tiny TV kids shows having short but better plot. But this was, don't know what's in the creators mind. May be he wants to show somehow how it will be if animals become extinct in the future and how pathetic and evil we are and never learn our lesson in the most worst way possible. Those upgrades, dialogues, expression and responses of characters was not just childish but more idiotic. May be it is a trail to show action in more comical and childish way which was a complete failure and humor, I couldn't find it anywhere. We can't really tell for which age group this show was made. Anyway, it is a very bad show. I felt so idiotic watching the first three episode with that kid, cause I like cartoons myself, and so does he. Wish they will stop with the first season.

My 9 year old son just found this show on Netflix. I'm disappointed it was canceled. The show was excellent and it's hard for me to find shows my son likes. He binged watched it, in a 9 year old way. This needs to be brought back, I can't tell him it was canceled. It was funny, exciting, amusing, the stories are well written and entertaining.

Guess it's mainly for kids, so my expectations weren't high before watching, but I ended up enjoying it. I'm 25, and I barely watch cartoons, but I'm almost done with all the episodes. It's entertaining, fun, and simple-something to watch when you want to cool your head. It's a great show where kids and adults can both enjoy it together. This is also my first time leaving a review, but I couldn't pass this one up because it doesn't deserve the negative reviews it has received.

The characters are well-developed, and the storylines are engaging without being overly complicated. Give it a chance.
