KING KONG '05 --What did you think ?

[4NDR01D]

Started a little slow, but once it got going, HOLY CRAP!!! Loved it. I only wish that somebody would do an actual MONSTER movie with as much style and class. IMHO King Kong is not a MONSTER he's just a monstorous sized ape. Cross this with Cloverfield and I think it would be my favorite movie ever.

It's a date!

I thought it was very good and the CGI was very good on Kong. The only complaint I have, is the scene where they are running from the dinosaur stampede was too obviously blue screen,especially when they were running on the edge of the crumbling cliff! But overall I liked it a lot

[mego73]

I 05 it was great, 76 is pretty much only good for camp and nostalgia and the original is the King

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

A nice dignified homage to the original, imo

I had exactly opposite expectations and findings

-edit-

oh yeah - I forgot to add that even though i HATED this movie, I thought the CGI was out of sight. I agree that this is the first time CGI has really seemed real

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

It was on again tonight and it will be replayed on TNT Sunday night at 8pm (7pm Central).

I wasn't sure what I would have thought of the movie, being a remake...but I actually enjoyed it. I thought it was odd Jack Black was there--it was hard to take him seriously--he kind of stuck out like a sore thumb but other than that, the movie was very enjoyable to me. I loved how King Kong bit off the T-Rex's tongue.

It was worth it just for the dinosaurs and giant bugs. The big monkey was a bonus.

Peter Jackson's movies are great but I don't want to spend all
day watching one of his long long movies, I have other things
to do...I think.

Some scenes were shot with Andy Serkis(Gollum) is a king kong suit, it was seemless with the cgi, but of course if your talkin' about the the stampede see et al. that of course wasn't.

It did drag somewhat in the beginning, and the various creepy-crawlers on the island were a bit much (and gross), but I thought everything else was fantastic. Kong was rendered (in all ways) beautifully, and his bond with Naomi Watts was very touching. I felt true heartbreak at the end of the film. I own the dvd and watched parts of the TNT broadcast, but not the end.. it's too friggin sad...

Very slow in the beginning but good afterward.

I agree that Jack Black was miscast but Naomi Watts made up for it I also found the bug sceens a little to high on the gross scale, but I really enjoyed the movie.

Kong has alot of soul....plus he kicked three T-rex's butts with a hot blonde in one hand, sometimes a foothand....

[spiderrogue]

I LOVED IT...kinda slow at first, but it was pretty awesome...
