Jack Black did an awesome job.


I actually liked the bug seen. But my favorite seen would have to be when King Kong faced the three T-Rex's. King Kong fights like some people I have seen fighting.

I'm just worried he'll get frustrated and fuck up and we lose our favourite director

Anyway... King Kong is a blast. Really good movie. There's not much better than a big gorilla fighting with a few T-rexes, and then ripping one's jaw apart. I enjoyed the whole movie. Much more entertaining than the latter two Lord of the Rings movies, in my opinion. Gives me hope that Peter Jackson will make more good movies.

Now I really wanna see the original King Kong (1933), as well as the original Mighty Joe Young (1949). Maybe I should just buy The King Kong Collection, which has these two movies, plus The Son of Kong, which sounds kind of nifty.

And speaking of Godzilla, I really wanna see Godzilla: Final Wars.

Although I do enjoy his older films (Dead Alive, Brain Dead, Meet the Feebles, Heavenly Creatures, etc.)

Don't forget Bad Taste, it's even better then Brain Dead imo

Blonde? I´ve always pictured her as a brunette.

But I knew tha Naomi Watts would be in this movie.

Thoughtless: I have the movie with Ghidorah. Quite decent.

Posts: 211/1800		 Precisely! Godzilla is awesome, and even though he is a bad guy he still manages to survive some dumb ape's attack.

I did watch it and I did pay attention so don't assume I did neither.

But, the reason I stated Godzilla lost was because I based my opinion after watching the American version of the movie.

* Both versions end with the monsters toppling into the sea, then Kong emerging and swimming away.
o The Japanese version ends with Godzilla's roar, and then Kong's. This was the offscreen equivalent of the monsters "taking a bow." (Though why Godzilla's and Kong's roars came in that respective order is ambiguous.)
o The American version ends with just Kong's roar rather than from both monsters.

Either way, Toho has officially confirmed that it is Kong who was meant to be the victor. Furthermore, up until 1964's Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Monster, Godzilla was still the villain and was thus destined to lose. But to this day, this film's ending has become a very heated debate among fans.


Where I got the info from above

There. I guess that explains my ignorance on the result of the fight.

Posts: 147/1176		 Oh, the CG was nice, but what I was trying to say was that it couldn't make up for the parts of the movie that I didn't like. Its like a video game, you can't go on graphics alone.

So far I know people who liked it and around the same amount who didn't like it.

Paper gave it 5 stars, though. So APPARENTLY it's good.

Wtf?

Come on, the Tenacious D song "Tribute" makes up for any acting flaws that he has.

I'm still mad that Godzilla lost. That is complete and utter bullshit.

And I do notice one thing about this modern day Kong. He is small compared to the other monsters.Especially compared to that lackluster American Godzilla which was like really fucking big.

Anya: The special effects didn't make up for it? Is the CG that average/bad?

Posts: 363/1637		 Someone on the news mentioned Jack Black playing a leading role or something, the first thought on my mind was, "WTF? Did he play as King Kong!?". He is not a funny let alone entertaining actor in my book. Hopefully he'll die of diabeties.

Posts: 639/6737		 Yeah, that was Watts. She's sort of been out of movies for a while... at least the bigger films. Maybe that's why you didn't really recognize her.
Anya
Posts: 146/1176		 Wait, that was Watts? The blonde chick!! Wow, did not know that. She looks a lot different...at least to me. And thats not a bad thing, she looked good in the picture...too bad her acting got a little stale near the end.

Posts: 633/6737		 My friends want to see it, but I'm not impressed by trailers thus far. At least if I do see it, I can have a good time laughing at Naomi Watts.
Anya
Posts: 145/1176		 zzzzzzzz....

Yep. Saw the movie and it was okay. I wouldn't want to see it again...maybe in passing on TV, but that's about it. Very slow start, drawn out ending, too many pauses, and, well, some parts that shouldn't have been funny, seemed funny. Sure, it did have a few goos parts, but all the special effects cannot make up for it, I'm sorry.

Posts: 848/3604		 There´s tons of Godzilla vs. Monster movies, Ziff. I have one myself.

Amnyway, if I´m going to see King Kong? Me? You bet I am. It´s one of the better movies that´s aired on the cinemas this year.

I´ve heard that game isn´t that bad either. So I´m going to see it sometime.
