KING KONG '05 --What did you think ?

[Mikey]

Just watched it for the first time on TNT tonight..
I know i'm a few years late

I really wanted to hate and pan this movie --- but I actually liked it.

A nice dignified homage to the original, imo

Unlike the '76 version, which was a piece of crap.

I still haven't seen it. It'll probably be replayed again. I'll catch it later.

I heard that in the movie Fay Wray was supposed to say the last line in the film but she died before it happened. That would of been a very nice touch. Too bad. =(

It was very good, I liked it a lot.

I believe this is the very first time I felt for a CGI character...this Kong had soul.

Although Kong beating three T-Rex' at the same time was a bit too much for me to believe and swallow.

The blonde chick was very good too.

It was alright for me I guess

I thought it was a Great Movie. the Only Kong Movie I can sit threw & Watch. However given what Peter Jackson did with the Lord of the Rings,.. I was just wanting & thinking More for some reason.

[huedell]

Never saw it---my thoughts were that nothing could beat 1976 for me---I grew up on
that one....still love it.

That being said...maybe one day I'll check out the newer one.

I loved the 05 Kong. Very true to the original(which was one of the best movies of all time). The gorilla moved and acted like a gorilla. The 76 version was horrible! Kong looked ok, but the way he movied? He was a guy in a suit all the way! It is hard to shock an audience today. I would have loved to have been in a theater back in 1933 when the original Kong strolled out on stage!

I think the biggest thing I didn't like about it was Jack Black as Carl Denim

Don't get me wrong, I like Black

But I think he was too young for that part.

He just don't give the impression of "seasoned"

Somebody like Steve Martin would have been much better, I think

Jack Black should have never been cast in that film. He wasn't right for the part. I don't know who I would have chose, but I know it wouldn't have been him.

Jack Black aside, I think the 2005 KING KONG is on par with the original. It's probably even a better movie, but the 1933 KONG will always be the classic one. It still holds up and it's been around 75 years now...

I agree here... The CGI was very well done in this film. They made a believable gorilla in KING KONG 2005.

Don't waste your time watching it if TBS/TNT replay it. Go rent it, it will save you the trouble of setting thru the hour or more of commercials that they threw in. Plus, you can watch the DVD extras.
