The action in the movie is actually well done, and it isn't like they're just cramming it in. |

i myself thought it was rather average... seemed to skip from the island to the city too quickly for the only sake of kong wreaking havoc in a city. And btw did anyone actually here any of the main characters use the term 'king kong?' i only heard that crazy native woman say 'kong' |

That's because his name is "Kong." He was considered a king by the natives (Or atleast in the original, i haven't seen the new one yet.) and thus is King Kong. To quote the original:

kk well still its a 3 hour long movie about a giant monkey and the main relationship in the movie is between a woman and a gorilla... how good could it be :P. If you go see it at the movies yell out at the start 'I heard king kong dies' and just ruin the whole movie for everyone

Ok, well you've seen it, and I haven't. I was just going by the commercial, which is why I made the comment I did, because the commercial certainly makes it seem like they might have seriously considered putting in a few car chases. |

Mmm, Braindead. ![]() Any film that has a guy dressing up in cricket gear to take down a zombie has to be genius. ![]() As for the Kong remake, I have no real wish to see it, so I'll probably just wait until someone rents the DVD. |

I had the hots for the girl in the 70's version of the Kong film when I was in second grade or so. Had a King Kong lunch box and everything. :$ Never seen Braindead. :unsure: |

I was dragged out of bed at some ungodly hour by some friends* to go and see this movie. I saw many adverts for this movie, prior to actually seeing it - all of which made me think that this would be one of those really lame movies about nothing. Luckily for me, with my ever-so-small wallet, it wasn't half as lame as I had expected. To me, the movie seemed to be rather strongly separated into three sections; an hour-long introduction and the trip to the island, an hour-long stretch of animal blood-thirstyness on the island, and the last hour back in the city with the good ol' Kong rampage. The entire middle "island hour" seemed rather stupid, as it was just people running around between different animals, waiting to be eaten, while "Jane"x dances around and falls in love with Mr. Monkey. There were also other things that one had to wonder about, such as what do the native people eat? I mean, they completely closed themselves off from the island - except for the enormous door which seems as though it is put there just for Kong to escape through - whilst everything that is on the island seems either; carnivorous, or large enough to eat them without too much of a worry. Also, was it just me, or was the introduction to the native people - with the little girl holding an arm out, standing still, and with long hair draping over her face - just like something ripped out of The Ring? Anywho, rant over, the movie was better than I expected, but three hours seemed a little too much. *anyone who makes you get out of bed at 6am to see a movie that you aren't particularly interested in isn't exactly a very good friend. xyeah, I know the main character's name isn't Jane, but I can't remember what her name is supposed to be, and Jane is the only thing I can think of whenever I see her. |

Anyone who makes you get out of bed at 6am for anything (except sex or to be the first to snowboard in fresh powder) isn't exactly a good friend.

This movie SUCKED. If you haven't seen the movie, get the DVD VERSION and SKIP THE FIRST 8 SCENES. When you see Kong fight the T-rex, that's pretty cool except Peter Jackson has no concept of proportions because in one scene he's riding on T-Rex's back..and the next he's opening his mouth with his bare hands. It's dumb. |

I watched it today, and he wasn't "riding his back." :huh: The jaw thing happened, but that's not dumb. Gorilla's are renowned for being the psychically strongest mammal, so a 25ft tall, 40 ton Silverback is likely to be pretty strong. I think you all went in to it expecting too much. :/ It was a good movie. Nothing spectacular, but it was well worth watching. The ending was very well done. |

I saw it last night, and thought it was fantastic. I did laugh throughout most of it though, as some things were pretty amusing. Especially the phallic shaped worms That kept me giggling for a few minutes. (even after some fools were throwing sweets at us [and lots of other people in the cinema])Visually it was stunning, and there was only one "spiderman" part (you know in the first spiderman when he rescues mary jane from the falling balcony, and there is a shot where she is holding on to him as he swings through town. Yeh, that part looks like she is holding onto a wooden model) and that was when someone was running along and the t-rex (i think) was alongside them. Just struck me as being very fake. It didn't seem like 3 hours to me, which was good
