Okay, so I was trying to find some movies like King Kong the other day. You know, that giant ape flick? Yeah, that one.
First, I just grabbed my phone and punched “films like King Kong” into the search bar. A whole bunch of stuff came up, price comparisons, similar movie lists, you name it. Honestly, it was a little overwhelming at first.
I started skimming through some of these “similar movie” lists. One of them had like 24 movies listed, which is insane! They had stuff like Spider-Man 2 and Hulk on there, which, okay, I guess they’re big budget, action-packed movies, but not exactly giant monster movies.
Then I started to see some titles that made more sense.
- Cloverfield
- Troll Hunter
- Shin Godzilla
- Tremors
These were hitting the right notes. Big monsters, causing trouble, that sort of thing. The Mist and Beast from 20000 Fathoms also seemed like good choices.
I also noticed some people talking about sequels and related movies. Like, duh,
- Kong: Skull Island
is an obvious one, right? And
- Jurassic Park
, yeah, that’s a classic, and it’s got that whole “man messing with nature” vibe that King Kong has.
Then I found people comparing King Kong to other newer films, like Train to Busan, they said they’re the same when it comes to the horror parts and how weak people are compared to monsters. Sounds right to me.
Oh, and get this – apparently, Warner Bros. is making another one of these MonsterVerse movies! They said it’s coming out in March 2027. So, Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire just came out, and they’re already working on the next one. Seems like people can’t get enough of these giant monster battles.
Anyway, that’s my little adventure into finding movies like King Kong. I ended up with a pretty good list to check out. Still, nothing beats the original, though!
