Rating: 5 stars
Summary: With all my respect to the first one, This film is great.
Review: Indeed, I am forced to write this review because upon review, it is easy to see why this film never got the recognition it deserved: it's that good.

We forget that we were so fimiliar with the story it wasn't possible for people to realize how very good this film is. It's effects and story and true to life animal expressions are so normal, people didn't realize what a great triumph this Mighty Joe Young is. (This is reviewing it apart from the original, which is a completely different topic...).

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Nice transfer of a dumb movie
Review: The quality of the transfer on DVD is so much higher thant the quality of the film, you should wait to see it free. The story is made by a five year old for five year olds but with violence that should be contained only in a movie for 13 and up.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A touching story for the whole family.
Review: My 13 year old sister and I watched this movie, I was extremely impressed with Charlize Theron's acting and I was shcoked at how my sister liked it - she'd usually go for something more teeny like 'Jawbreaker.'

Bill Paxton really sucks at this character - they could of chosen someone else - but Charlize is an award winner.

A great movie for close families to watch on a rainy night.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: SO HORIBLE, IT'S GREAT!
Review: You can't watch this movie alone, cause you need someone to be with you to make fun of it with you. I actualy bought this moive, because it was so bad, that I loved it! Bill Paxton was sooooo bad, a peice of wood could have done a better acting job. Charlize Theron, is always great, but she was bad in this moive, and it's just overalla ad move to reamke this. Disney should stop trying to cash in on the big effects movie and stick to the clasic animated films they do best

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Simian fun for the whole damn family
Review: Director Ron Underwood made an incredible choice in the voice casting of this film. He chose a brilliant, talented, and incredibly sexy voice actor named Darren Knaus to breathe life into Baby Joe. The vocals were brief, only in the first ten minutes of the film, and yet will go down in film history as being the best baby gorilla vocals to ever appear in a Disney film about Bill Paxton and a giant gorilla. Oh, and the rest of the movie's pretty good, too.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: very good show with morals
Review: should have more show as this one,pretty girls, great outdoors and good story.I would see this one again. need more like this, good for all ages

Rating: 1 stars

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Not exactly "going apes" about it.
Review: I'm a bit partial to this film because i worked on it as an extra. (I was in the carnival scene running out of the hall of mirrors). Yikes! I just plugged myself! The problem with Mighty Joe Young is the poachers that are tied in with the story. At times when they are hunting and harrasing poor Joe, the movie switches gears from a sweet and tender story of an oversized gorilla interacting with his "adopted human parents" into a disturbingly dark and cruel poaching free-for-all. I wanted to see more of how Joe lived in his natural habitat (a lush tropical jungle). Those scenes provided breathtaking scenery and allowed you to escape into a landscape of green mountainous terrain filled with other wild animals and exotic birds. I also wanted to see more interaction with Joe and the other characters who were not trying to harm him. I thought the performances by Bill Paxton and Charlisse Theron were as good as they could be, their characters were a bit mild however. On a positive note, the special effects were extrodinary. (Mighty Joe Young was nominated for an oscar in the "best special effects" catagory). There are also some touching moments when Joe is bonding with the humans. But unfortunately there just aren't enough of these scenes to go around. If you must get your gorilla fix, check out "Congo". Sorry Joe!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Smaller sized King Kong
Review: Ape with heart. Very good family entertainment. Charlize Theron is simply stunning in this movie. Worth seeing in this aspect alone. Special effects is top notch. Bill Paxton not too ideal for this kind of movie. Overall 4 stars....just!!

Rating: 5 stars
