No, he didn't. Almost all film critics say that the original is by far still the better King Kong, and in time Jackson's version is going to be remembered even less fondly than the De Laurentis version from the seventies. Also Jackson's King Kong was a flop at the box office. Initial projections said it would be the biggest film of all time and bring in a bigger gross than Titanic, and it totally failed to do so. I don't even think it passed 300,000 million in its initial theatrical run. Jackson is done. And no Kojima.
"the only way the books could have been portrayed on screen. He also took King Kong and made a classic better."
