I have not seen this remake, so cannot make comparsions vis-a-vis the
original, however, I have a question concerning the original's 'wonderful mythic quality': Do you think B&W photography
(especially in creating Skull Island's atmosphere)gives it an advantage over Jackson's remake in generating that mythic quality?
I've read that B&W allows more personal fantasy in interpretation,
which seems to coalign better with mythos, than color, which imparts
more realism. Conversely, color photography would be more appropriate
in certain types of films that do not emphasize fantastic imagery.
