King Kong
Is anyone going to see this?
Peter Jackson has spent a long time filming it, and has invested huge money in it.
The movie was filmed right here in Wellington, New Zealand! *cheap pop*

Yeah, looks good. Reviews have been quite positive so far which has given me hope. I was afraid this could look cool but suck overall, doesn't look to be the case.

The special effects look over the top and cartoonish, but the cast looks really nice and i love Jack Black. So i'll definetly waste money on it.

Every since Frighteners I have been a fan of Peter Jackson's work. He is very solid, and very dependable to make a good movie. I'm sure this wont be outstanding, but it should be enjoyable nonetheless. Though I will probably see Narnia first.

I just found out it was 3 fucking hours long. Now I have no problem sitting through some movies that are lengthy, but to me this movie does not need to be 3 fucking hours long. I mean I felt the original dragged on a little and that was about an hour 40 minutes long. I was looking forward to seeing it to, but 3 fucking hours long come on. I hate to use that as an excuse but I honestly don't know if I could sit through King Kong for 3 hours. I know I'll end up seeing it anyways.

I saw it last night...

3+ hours which is long, but heres what i think...

Spoilers (I dont think i have any really, but just in case)

Positives:
-3 hours goes by really quick
-Once they hit skull island, the action really picks up (i thought this had some great action sequences)
-The effects of Kong, and other creatures
-Naomi Watts was very good in this I think
-The actors who played the captain, bruce baxter, and the other sailors all did a nice job I thought.

Negatives:
-Jack Black is horribly miscast in this role
-movie starts off a bit slow
-3 hours is a long time for most people to sit through a movie

Adrien Brody was niether good nor bad in this film. He didnt add anything but didnt take anything away, but his character probably could have been written better.

Overall I thought it was very well done. As classic as the original is, I thought this out performed it, mostly due to Watts' performance which wasnt just a screaming damsel in distress like in the old Kong. She gave her character a little more depth.

3.5/4 stars

Saw it but I also saw it after working a 7 hour shift so I was a rather tired. I think it's a fantastic movie but some of the sequences in the film dragged a bit too long (Kong playing with Ann for 5 minutes [it also was also one of the weaker CGI segments], Kong Ice skating for 5 minutes, some of the bug sequence). None of these scenes should have been removed merely trimmed. (Thoug hteh bug sequence was just kinda blah and seemed pointless but that could be because I hate insects) Shaving off even just 10 to 20 minutes would have been beneficial but all in all the runtime didn't really detract from the overall epic quality of the film.

The CGI on Kong is amazing, but the dinosaurs look only half-decent and sometimes the usage of CGI was just so blatant that it drew you out of the picture but I tend to overanalysze so it could just be me.

Jack Black was perfectly cast imo. The entire cast was perfect

I'll rewatch it when I'm more alert and will probably enjoy it much more. I'll give it an 8 out of 10 and that'll probably increase to 8.5 or so when I watch it fresh.


I fear what maybe come with a DVD release, hopefully Jackson doesn't decide that an extended edition is needed.

Certainly not...these two movies are so hard to compare...one was done in 1933 and this one 72 years later....They really are two very different movies....

The way they deal with the affection between Kong and Anne is different, etc and changes the story or the meaning of the story a bit. Esp the last line, 'it was beauty that killed the beast'

What can definitely be said is that they are both better than the 1970's remake of Kong.

apparently you missed the part where I said i thought he did a good job on them...

LOTR and King Kong were both enormous productions that succeeded both in their presentation and their story telling...

Star Wars Prequels for instance failed at story telling but came across on screen visually stunning...

I think Kong and LOTR were able to succeed in both these areas.

And at least I posted a reason instead of just saying, "yeah, peter jackson rules, woo hoo'

Most blockbuster movies can have a big budget but are poorly written and directed...not so with these 4 movies.

Wasn't too enthusiastic going in but it was definitely worth the three hours.

Though it was almost ruined by some bloke in the audience who got into a verbal with a couple sitting in front of him. They probably just told him to shut up, all you could hear was Kong rampaging through New York interspersed with "fuckin". He left with 30 minutes to go and I think just waited for them to come out so he could have another go "Oi geezer!" just walking after them. They ducked into a bar and that was the last I saw.

Stupid tosser.

Anyway back to the movie. The leeches...that was fucked up.

Lol yeah, the game was really poor. And the movie doesn't look any better, but you can't judge a book by it's cover or it's video game edition...

It could have been cut down to at most 2 nad a half hours. The walking scenes on the island could have been cut down, and the whole battle against the giant bugs could have been eliminated.

Other than that it was an alright movie.

Well it was the best you could do with a Kong movie. So it was entertaining enough, but Jurassic Park had better looking dinos. Not to mention, even though this was a fantasy film, it did seem rather unvelievable what with the dinos running and all and not one of the main characters getting trampled on in such a frantic scene.

T-Rex still rules. 3 on 1 should have been an easy squash.


How the fuck did they even drag Kong onto the boat anyways?

So yeah, what can you really do with such a story as this? Jackson did his best and was worth it, but still, not a fantastic film, just entertaining.

I don't think Jack Black was mis cast at all, he played the character very well.

Just saw it, it was okay. I was impressed with the special effects but those can't carry a movie for me. I thought the action scenes were top notch but other than that it wasn't too good. Acting was a huge disapointment given the cast, and the dialogue and overall story was bleh for alot of the movie.

I think Jack Black added some much needed humor to the film.

I don't think I could watch a film that long, twice in one week.

Im not a Jack Black fan to begin with, so I couldnt stand him in the film. I thought someone else could have done a better job, just my opinion. And i hate his facial expressions, I kept waiting for him to break into shtick. But, to each his own...i still enjoyed the movie a whole lot

Me too. The bug scene was gruesome.

The most gruesome death had to be Lumpy's. (i.e. Chef, Kong, Gollum)

That was gross.
