Sinopsis(1)
El aventurero Carl Denham (Robert Armstrong) regresa a la isla donde fue capturado King Kong, en compañía de Hilda (Helen Mack), hija del propietario de un circo, con la esperanza de encontrar fortuna. Descubren allí al hijo de King Kong, Kiko, al que salvan de las arenas movedizas, y que pronto simpatiza con los exploradores. Denham y Hilda logran encontrar un tesoro, pero éste está protegido por un monstruo antediluviano. Ante ello recurre a la ayuda de King Kong para derrotar a la ancestral criatura. La isla es sacudida por un seísmo que sumerge bajo las aguas su mayor parte, incluyendo a Kiko, pero Hilda y Denham logran escapar. (Movistar+)

For me to be able to announce that the filmmakers had thought up this movie on the spot, they would have had to have thought a little about it. They didn’t. But despite the obvious shoddiness, the non-existent screenplay and miserable production design, it has a nice smack of exotic adventure and dime novel. And apart from this it is even funny in places, with pleasant detachment. Both intentional. It comes nowhere near the original King Kong, but otherwise, like father like son. Apart from knowing how to show his middle finger, here everybody behaves and expresses themselves like the protagonist of O človíčkovi! However, as a whole, this is, using today’s terminology, more of a “direct 2 DVD" affair, because there is much more talking (the first forty-five minutes) than action (the closing barely twenty minutes on Skull Island).

"You'll never catch a monkey like that." - "Have you ever caught a monkey?" - "Have I ever...! Lady, you'd be surprised." The Son of Kong is such a pleasantly lightened afterword to the original story - lightened perhaps in every way from the naive story through the unnecessarily childish behavior of the title monkey to the humor and fights with monsters, which are actually not very exciting, but "only" perfectly animated. I didn't even mind that they didn't arrive on the island until the middle of the film, because until then Robert Armstrong in particular was a joy to watch. However, the ending was 100% successful.

Once - after a full three quarters of an hour - the first trick sequences come, you get a different and more interesting movie, which, however, lacks originality. It's just a copy of what you saw in "King Kong". Yes, the battles between giant animals are still technically brilliant, and you can see how everything was already technically mastered at that time, but it doesn't change the fact that you've already seen it once and I must say that it could have been done a bit better. The only added value is the humor, which tried to make the audience laugh in the cinema, but unfortunately it was quite childish. It's a pity, if they had waited for a year or two, a more valuable sequel could have been made.
