Adam007 Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 I just saw it last night. I thought it was great. The time factor I didn't mind (I don't even understand why a movie being long is a bad thing). It started off slow because the characters had to be developed and all, but when the action started going, there was some of the best fighting scenes in any movie I've ever seen. This movie really deserves a few Oscars. So what did everyone else think about it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
assassin_696 Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 I may as well just post what i put in How2pk's last movie you saw thread: What a film. It really was brilliant, so much more than just the high budget action flick that many people expected. The CGI was fantastic, completely engaging and there were some spellbinding fight/action scenes, not just with Kong but with the other characters. The brachiosaurus chase scene was totally brilliant and the Kong fight scene with the 3 T-rexes has to be one of the most well co-ordinated CGI scenes ever. The love story was tragic and wholly believable, and the scenes where Ann was entertaining Kong and the ice skating scene were truly touching. The acting and casting were brilliant, and the casting of Ann was inspired, she was 100% right for the part. I went to see this film with a couple of friends, and normally i don't mind a bit of banter in the middle, but with this i was telling them to shutup when they were talking and laughing through some of the more touching scenes. Bravo Peter Jackson, 10/10 "Da mihi castitatem et continentam, sed noli modo" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howie101 Posted December 18, 2005 Share Posted December 18, 2005 its supposed to on the same level as Titanic...but they are not basing that on anything particular...they are basing that on money but the tickets cost more and less tickets will be sold Number of Box office tickets sold should be the determining factor still a good movie, huge cast, huge budget, good cinematography, and did anyone hear where LOTR was just Peter Jackson's practice for King Kong, that was on the Daily Show, i thought that was funny, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Futurama Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 I usually get really arsey about remakes and took some convincing to see this, but it wasn't disappointing at all, it was awesome. A bit more violent than i expected for a 12A (mmm t-rex jaw breaking) but a very enjoyable film non the less. :) Was a bit long yeah, 2 1/2 hours is usually optimum length imo. But still, worth seeing :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeekyhbomb Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 I thought it was an excellent film but some of the scenes did not need to be there. I understand that some of those more 'graphic' fight scenes etc were there for people that like it, but it really was not needed for the whole point of the story, yes I admit it was cool but what did it add? nothing. Oh well nonetheless it was a very good movie, story, and touching too, just seeing how much Kong loved that girl. 9/10, I would HIGHLY reccomend it :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devilsdragon Posted December 19, 2005 Share Posted December 19, 2005 I thought it was good, but when I went in I had one thing I didn't want to see, the same camerawork that I saw in LOTR. And the fact that he just kept the same type of acting(random staring into the camera..) along with the quick cuts during the action scenes really dissappointed me. The movie itself had pretty good cgi, but the water during the storm when they first arrived was just bad. 7/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This movie really deserves a few Oscars. So what did everyone else think about it? Yeah, it was simply an amazing film. The beginning I was like..Wow this is pretty boring. But damn, when they got on the island and king kong was fighting those dinasours...I got really into it. I mean, that was one of the BEST fighting scene's, I have ever seen. I mean, I simply loved it, it was brilliant... I loved the part when he took the jaw's of that t-rex, then split them open, and shoved it through it's skull. (Sorry if I spoiled it for anyone..but it's in one of the commercials I think anyway). This sounds really corny but the compassion in it was great to. The way he set up the relationship between kong and the girl, it was beatufil I must say. And this movie was made by one of the best director's ever IMO. Got to give this movie 2 thumbs up. I loved it, couldn't even help the fact, but the end was pretty sad. The short ammount of time they spent together, but still that much of a connect, and bond, and that much love going on. Gotta say, brilliant.

Gunnit7 Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 I havn't seen the movie yet, but especially after these reviews i really do want to see it. Pier pressure? I can just see you being threatened by a wharf or jetty because you're a teleporter. Yes, I can see a large wooden wharf uprooting itself from the shore, walking over to you and slapping you in the back of the head for teleporting.:lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damon_Albarns_Ice_Cream Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 Normally I'm pretty wary of remakes as they are often pretty rubbish, and generally my opinon is proven correct, but King Kong was brilliant. I was also particularly wary of the 3 hours and 7 minutes running time but it flew by. The movie seemed to come in seven parts, the first being Carl (played wonderfully by Jack Black) searching for a new leading lady, the second on the ship, the third being the initial discovery of the wonders of the island, the fourth being them looking for Anne and her bonding with Kong, the fifth being excessive fighting scenes, the sixth is them taking Kong back to New York and the seventh is in New York when they try to put Kong on show and his escape and iconic scene at the top of the Empire State Building. Despite these clear parts to the movie it runs quite smoothly and the scenes between Anne and Kong are very moving. I have to say I cried lots at the end. And then my friend made me laugh. And then I cried again. And then she made me laugh again. And then I cried. Quite the emotional rollercoaster :wink: h8ted those tribe ppl tho:\ Yeah, my friend said she'll be having nightmares about them :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

i_m_darkness Posted January 1, 2006 Share Posted January 1, 2006 It was a bit too long, as one of my friends noticed: 'a movie that makes you [wagon] hurts, is too long'. The action in it was quite alright, but they didn't know when to stop. Some things just kept coming back and all. :roll: By far my favourite scene is the one with all those bugs, especially when you have an easily scared girl next to you ;) :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
