Forums: How Is King Kong?


Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies


King KongGear Live Forum member Ghost is wondering how King Kong was. If you are unfamiliar, it is a tale about an abnormally large ape that battles dinosaurs and falls in love with a human woman who just so happens to be infinitely smaller than he is. It’s out intheaters to much fanfare. Have you seen the movie? If so, drop your opinions on our board and let us know what you thought.

I saw the film on Wednesday and was floored by it. You should definitely go and see this movie if you haven't already. The movie was a little bit on the longer side (3 hours!) but surprisingly, it didn't drag on. The action was intense - maybe too intense for some in fact - and the film was just done really well. The special effects were top notch and the acting was great. In fact, I'd say King Kong is my favorite action film of the year. (But then again, did it really have any competition?) As for the videogame, I haven't played it yet but heard it's exceptional - although a little short. Furthermore, the game doesn't follow the movie exactly but does a good job supplementing it from what I've heard. Maybe not the best purchase but certainly a great rental.

All I know is I'm gettin me a friggen KONG BURGER.. thing is huge, most people can't even finish one, but I will CONQUER THE KONG!!!

I saw the film on friday night. I must agree that i was floored. It is probably the best movie of all the time that i lived (15 yrs.). I cant see a movie to compare it with in the last 15 years, except for Pulp Fiction, later. Wow. Wow wow wow. It was awesome. I think whats great about it is that little immature kids can like it because of all the action. I must say that the action alone beats out all of Jackson's Lord Of the Rings movies(Although they are GREAT movies). Then the story part was even better. The filming was great, and had some awesome shots in the movie. It really pulls the viewer in and you feel the pain of Kong and Anne. Also, in many parts it is comical when Kong and Anne are first aquainting them selves. So on the other hand ditzey girls could liket it too. Go see this movie, right now. In my theater, in the middle of the movie (in one special part :) ) everyone just got up and started clapping.... Also when we left everyone was crying or just dead silent.

[quote author="thethiefyouhail" date="1136091169"]Nah, i think that the more mature you are the more youll like the movie. You need a certain amount of depth.[/quote] What depth are you talking about? I could tell you the main points and they ideas tried to get conveyed in a couple of sentences. You honestly have to deal with the fact that others may not like a movie you thought was so great.

I dont know bout floored but it was good. I thought it drug on at parts and was too long. and the best part was when he fought tha t-rex's.

I went and saw it on opening day and was amazed. The animation was second- to-none looking very seem less and real. And once the action started on skull island it never really let up. Kong battled like six T-Rex at the same time which was by far the best part of the movie. It was also surpirsingly funny through out the film. Overall great movie, possibly movie of the year (kinda torn between that and batman begins).

I've heard so much good stuff about it and I want to see it so bad! I'll let everyone know what I think after I see it.

I saw it yesteryday. I didn't think it was as good as everyone says it is. The movie simply bored the crap out of me at times. The CGI was crazy though.

Wow, just wondering, how old are you?

15, but why would age matter? It just didn't particularly strike me as brilliant. It had its moments though, but at points it got very boring.
