King Kong

[Mad Melvin]

Saw it today. Wasnt impressed. There were few pretty cool fight scenes and Jack Black was better than he usually is, but the movie was just too long, there were loads of pointless characters and the ending sucked.
Well, I really wasnt expecting anything great and I was somewhat entertained so it wasnt a total waste of money, I guess.

im going to see this on saturday, been looking forward to it for a while, being a fan of the original movie and of peter jackson's other movies (hope he makes a braindead / bad taste sequel after this :P)

[Mad Melvin]

hope he makes a braindead / bad taste sequel after this

Fat chance. (pun intended 'cause Peter Jackson is fat lol)

Anyway, the thing that bugged me the most was the lenght. Why the hell did this have to be over 3 hours long, especially when there really wasnt any good reasons for it. :/

[the_dudefather]

yeah bit wierd that thats nearly twice as long as the original

[ArrowX]

I think its because Jackson wanted the Scene on the island to be the most memorable part of the movie (as it was in his childhood) so he pretty much pulled a whole lot of needless scenes.

And whats this I hear about Kong no longer killing the T-Rex by cramming a tree down its throat and breaking its neck?

I actually wanted to see this but after hearing about the length I'm having some serious doubts. I wasn't really expecting much but I haven't been to the picture show in a while.

Obviously you haven't seen Jackson lately. The man is thin as a rail.

Also: Show some god damned fortitude, people. Three hours is a cakewalk.

not impressed, eh?!
oh-ho, he was NOT impressed!
oh no, sir.. he surely was not impressed

:lol

[Mad Melvin]

I dont get it. Maybe i'm just a simple minded fool, but please, make me understand.

I heard people were slipping on banana peels to get in there on opening day.

I saw the midnight release. Sure, getting home at 3:30 a.m. just to get up for my job at 4:30 a.m. was crappy, but it, in my opinion, was fucking worth it.

The movie rolled, only once did I check my watch, and that was to confirm that it took about a hour just to see Kong. Yet, it has backstory, it has depth, I enjoyed it.

All in all, way better then that 80's remake shit.

Jeff Bridges Shirtless :(

[Comrade Rocket]

<3 the t-rex fight. That was like the best part of the movie.

and noami watts :yum

[Comrade Rocket]

King Kong more like Orson Welles: Monster Hunter

This movie was way better than I thought it would be, it totally kicked my ass. But Jackson better not be releasing an extended DVD. It's a GOOD movie about a big ape, but it's still basically a movie about a big ape. Three hours is more than enough.

[Wiffle Bat]

I personally think it was quite good, 3 hours is kinda long but after I left the theater, I felt I got the bang for my money and didnt feel ripped off like most 60 - 70 minute movies ~

Plus the pacing is quite good for a 3 hour movie, could have been shorter but satisfactory nontheless. It was also more faithful a remake to the old 1933 classic ^^

But he still doesn't bathe...

The King Kong remake was released in 1976.

[GADZOOKS]

If it were like that, then genius would be stupid and you would be the king.

[the_dudefather]

just came back from seeing it.

and it was awesome. some scenes did drag on a bit, but it all came togather great. all the little nods to the original movie were great and of course....

the RAT MONKEY CAGE!

who knows, it might lead to king kong 2: kong Vs lionels mother

[Comrade Rocket]

NAOMI WATTS :yum

[Protoclown]

I enjoyed the hell out of it. It may have been long, but it was great eye candy. I loved the fight with the T-Rexes and the Empire State Building scene was a joy to watch.

[Marine]

oh noes they killed the black dude and the chineese guy :rolleyes

[Ivan Raged]

YOU BITCH!!!!
