http://www.snowball-in-hell.com/KongForWebMedium.wmv OMG!!!11!! Second Kong trailer, I thought the movie would be crap, but after seeing this I'm actually going to spend money to see it now. It looks a lot better than the first trailer.
They kill the Gorilla in a flurry of gunshots. The girl is safe. Oops. *SPOILERS* My ticket will be, ahem... not purchased until it hits the dollar theater.
Early word is that this is the best movie of 05. And btw, I don't think you get the point of the movie. It's not supposed to be "yay, the monster is dead," mankind is the monster.
Wha? Excuse me? Mr. "I got my movie education from a comic strip?" I'm tired of hollywood pumping out the same stories over and over and over. THAT is why I'll not spend premium ticket money on it. I'd rather watch an original story. Thanks. I don't think you got the point of my post, btw. Assumption is the monster.
this movie looks like it is gonna suck. suck hard. "king kong aint got **** on me" http://kingkonggotnothin.ytmnd.com/ for some reason they added "nothin" instead of ****
this movie looks like it'll be awesome from the commercials. if any type of movie should be redone, it would be something like King Kong from the 30's where we can actually make it look great now. i guess if you hate special effects, that won't appeal to you, but i like them so i wanna see this. plus, it's not as if peter jackson shouldn't get the benefit of the doubt for at least a couple of movies into the future.
This movie was already re-done in the 70's. Next. Oh, and I've seen the trailer... read the book, seen the original, seen the first remake... heck, I even have a coffee table book of the story... Next. Mr. Brightside is right. I too predict box office failure. Too much money spent on the same story. Get me something new people. Peter Jackson, you deserve better material, not ONLY the books of your childhood, to be done, and re-done, again... shame on you.
I saw the preview at Harry Potter and it blew the rest away (Superman looked horrible). I'm actually looking forward to this one and I see about 2 movies a year. I like how they kept it in the same time period. I usually hate remakes but this looks cool.
For what it's worth, the director swore to re-make this movie so he could re-do it right. And as I said in the other thread, that film critic guy from Dallas seems to think it could be the best movie of the year.
Well I may stand corrected. I thought Batman Begins would be a waste of time, but actually enjoyed the back story and new angle. (But I waited until the dollar cinema on it, too... then bought it... spent less than $20 on the whole big screen & owning it experience.) As for the Superman Returns trailer... yech!
Movie looks solid; seems they put a lot of effort into it. It will do well, and get good reviews. Should be enjoyable. I have no problem with remakes, as long as it is entertaining and there was real effort/talent put into it. That seems to be the case here. Also; love what they did with the 'trailer'.
Ha! shows what you all know! I have inside info that says King Kong actually swats all those planes out of the sky, eats the girl, uses that big spire on the top of the Empire State Building as a toothpick, takes a huge dump off the skyscraper, then ends the movie with a dance number to "Hello, My Baby" in downtown Manhatten...
The comic strip was a joke about you "spoiling" the ending and all those times people have gone "ape sh*t" over those Harry Potter spoilers. I forgot that the last panel breaks down the point of the movie. Anyways, do you and Brightside really believe this movie is going to lose money? Everybody knows the story, but I think that a majority of people have not actually sat through the original movie. Oh, Rotten Tomatoes has 12 reviews up already, it's currently at 100%, I think it will finish with a 94 or 95. "Peter Jackson's King Kong is the most thrilling, soulful monster picture ever made. At last, it can be said without irony -- I laughed, I cried." -- Jami Bernard, NEW YORK DAILY NEWS "This is spectacle filmmaking at its best, where a director is in tune with the story's underlying emotions and his own boyish love for adventure fantasy." -- Kirk Honeycutt, HOLLYWOOD REPORTER "King Kong will further Jackson's reputation as the leading visionary among fantasy filmmakers and it restores the Empire State Building to the stately glory of its past." -- Jack Mathews, NEW YORK DAILY NEWS "What's up on screen is rarely short of staggering." -- Todd McCarthy, VARIETY http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/king_kong/
So far Kong has 100% on Rotten Tomatoes. Hearing the reviews make me more excited. This movie will rock.
