King Kong was the first trailer shown before Wars Of The Worlds tonight. I will be seeing this - it looks like it can be good but I still have mixed feelings toward the film and do not really know what to expect. I am going to go in expecting the worst and hoping for the best. So, then I will not be let down.

I saw this at an employee pre-screening at my local theatre last night.

Simply said, this movie blew me away beyond expectations. 100x better than I expected and perhaps the best movie I've seen this year. This movie is well worth your time even with the long running time of a whopping 3 and a half hours. Peter Jackson is the next Spielberg.

crazy... it looks beyond stupid to me... ill probably just wait to rent unless there are a bunch more people that say they loved it...

Reviews have been amazing. I had no desire to see it in the theaters, but now I probably will.

clayj41 · 12-14-2005, 08:06 PM

Just got back from seeing this, and all I can say is that its unbelievable! At first, I was appauled to hear that they were remaking this film, but after seeing it I feel Peter Jackson did it justice. The action sequences are amazing and the acting is spot on. BADASS!!!

tompeas13 · 12-14-2005, 08:37 PM

I saw it today. It's almost exactly 3 hours and it slows down for about 2 minutes at a time but then other than those few moments it is almost constant action from the second half on. I think the end of the Kong Vs. T-Rex fight might be one of the coolest things i have ever seen.

nice

watchtower86 · 12-15-2005, 07:49 AM

I'm looking forward to seeing this movie. Peter Jackson is the man. Has anyone else seen how skinny he is now? It's kinda weird. Bring back the fat, Peter.

neumdogg · 12-15-2005, 09:53 AM

WOW! The is one of the best movies I have ever seen. It is the reason I go to the movies. There is not one emotion Peter Jackson misses. Im in awe right now. Bravo.

tompeas13 · 12-15-2005, 10:35 AM

3.5 stars just because the sound of the t-rex was quieter than the rest of the movie. the t-rex sounded way weaker than the one is jurassic park. my only complaint

4 stars for me.....The ONLY complaint was that the airplane scene went on a LITTLE too long.

dmb41er · 12-15-2005, 10:40 AM

to wait for this to come out on video would be a sad mistake...

unless of coarse you have your own big screen surround sound movie theater in your home.

to possibly the best special effects i've ever seen and the movie was still excellent

i agree. i also think some of the scenes where they stare at eachother all goofy went on too long.

RJ2kWJ · 12-15-2005, 11:16 AM

I agree with everyone so far.... absolutely AMAZING!!!!

Tomriddle · 12-17-2005, 06:05 PM

Unbelieveable movie, just came back from watching it. Amazing.

PantalaTina · 12-17-2005, 06:09 PM

UGH!!! I was supposed to go see this tonight, but shit came up

Johnnythe41man · 12-17-2005, 06:11 PM

One question for those who have seen it. Is it suitable for my 9 year old son?

Well, some of the sequences when they first get to the island might be frightening for a nine year old, but there is nothing in the way of sexuality and profanity. There are some gruesome moments, such as when an enormous leech bites off a guy's head and King Kong rips a dinosaur's head in two. If he's afraid of bugs, don't take him. However, there are relatively few "unappropriate sequences" and they are spaced out. What kind of movies is he allowed to watch?

Well, he has seen the Spidermen movies, and this doesn't sound much worse than those.

Tomriddle · 12-17-2005, 06:37 PM

Uh, its a bit more graphic than Spiderman. You might want to see it yourself first and then make a decision (its worth seeing twice).

The violence level is more on par with Lord of the Rings.

critics say 12 years and older...maybe Kong gets a little bit intimate with Faye Wray.

"I always thought that if King Kong was walking down the street I'd be the most afraid that kids would look up and see the huge genatalia."

Not verbatim, but kudos to whoever knows where thats from.
