I'm the same way, I'm not in some frame of mind where I HAVE TO SEE ANOTHER REMAKE OF KING KONG OR I'LL DIE.
It is getting big wet kisses for reviews so far, but there are a lot of geeks passing as critics out there these days. They also take more payola.
There are several films I'd want to see first, starting with Brokeback Mountain and Match Point. Hell, I'd see Harry Potter a third time before KK if it came down to a choice.

I want to see it, but I'll probably be really excited when it comes out to rent on DVD as opposed to actually going to the theater for it. I was always more of a Godzilla kind of guy. . . kind of like how you have Elvis guys and Beatles guys. . . or Tit guys or Ass guys. I mean chic's asses Eggs.
I am sure Peter did a great job, but at the end of the day it is a big monkey fantasizing about banging a white chic. Hey, where have I heard that story before?

I wanted to see Brokeback Mountain last weekend, but it's not playing in my area. I live just outside Philadelphia, for fuck's sake, it's not like I live in Redstate USA!
Gotta see HP, Narnia, BB Mountain, Memoirs of a Geisha (I have a zyi zhang fetish) before I see King Kong.

I am still blubbering as I write this. Just got back from seeing King Kong. Yes, I knew that story before I went to the movie. Yes, I'm a big girl. But, if a person can walk out of that movie without having gotten at least a little misty eyed, then that person doesn't have a heart or soul. Maybe it is a woman kind of thing, I don't know.
Early on I thought King Kong would be disappointing as there is a lot of cheese left in this movie. But, then they find Skull Island and the feel of the film starts changing. First is the harrowing scenes of the boat dashed against the rocks and taking on water. Then came the eye candy of the ruins. Next, the people in the ruins scaring the beejeezus out of me. The rescue. The kidnapping. The sacrifice. Kong. The girl. The hero. You know what is coming and you know you need to emotionally divest yourself just a little bit, because what is happening to Kong is brutal. But you stay with Kong through his escape and rampage. Then that little woman steps out of the fog and Kong ... and you stay til the end because there really isn't much else you can do but cry like a big old baby because ... its beautiful.
I don't know what kind of awards this movie will take, but it is sure to take a few for thrills, chills, scenery, special effects, Kong, and for making me cry over a CGI ape.

I don't know that I would say Peter Jackson is the greatest living film director but he certainly did a fine job on this movie. As in the LOTR movies, there are some places where the film seems blurry and disjointed - like it was spliced weird. I think Spielberg is probably the greatest living film director.

Just seen it, technically its superb, although its a little self indulgent, and a little patronising.
The original King Kong managed to convince us that Kong loved Ann without five minutes of them scating alone on a frozen pond in central park.
The first two and a half hours were ok, although it did drag before they got to skull island, but the last part in new york was back to dragging again, before the inevitable heart renching death scene on the empire state building.
No mighty Joe young style happy ending here.

It was very exciting during his fight with the dinosaurs - the way he kept transferring Ann between his hands and his feet - relatively gently, while he was smacking away a the dinosaurs. When he first got Ann, he was very rough with her - amazing she wasn't fractured to pieces during his romp through the jungle then through all those arm jerks.
I think he fell for her so quickly because she was the first living thing he'd connected with on a personal level in a long time. From the bones in the boneyard, it looked like he was the last of his kind. To everything else he was just something to fight with or throw girlies with prickly things around their necks at. He'd been lonely and alone for a long time and she made him smile.

:wah!: That made me tear up. I've become too soft hearted in my dotage. I was not going to go see this movie because I've always hated how it ends.
I heard that the movie is not doing well at the box office.

Y'know, I'm sure I'd be impressed by the movie and all (although i have serious issues with it being so long, that's just wrong), but I just don't see the NECESSITY of it. It's not imperative that I see it, it's definietely a cable-catch for me. Unless someone spots me a copy sooner.
