King Kong Trailer. It looks pretty good, however Jack Black seems a little mis-cast. Any thoughts?

By the way, it is a pretty big video, so it may take awhile to load. Sit tight, it's good.

Was it? Didn't notice.

As for the preview... "OMFG" about sums it up methinks.

WHAT!>? You guys think this is good? Seriously I'm shocked, especially with you Orph. I mean cumon, King Kong with dinosaurs? Its a load of crap SFX mashed together to get morons to watch a film. I'm disapointed with you both! Deeply...

You're not gonna insinuate that this is your first time are'ya?

I grew up on all the el'cheapo Kong flicks throughout my life.. I am not a kong fan by any stretch but, this one looks the best of the lot.

So yeah, I think its gonna kick ass.. BTW, what makes you think that an island that can grow a 50 foot monkey, cannot also retain some dino's?

Stop over-analyzing it and accept it for what its attempting. <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif">

This sounds very unoriginal... but I can't imagine why.

Besides the fact that there were many dinosaurs in the original King Kong, right?

It looks good, and after LOTR and The Frighteners I trust Jackson's abilities. Not to metion, I like Adrian Brody. Good actor.

Well, where did this monkey come from? Why wasn't it killed by the dinosaurs? What makes this island so special to keep dinosaurs? The giant monkey I just accepted as being some strange occurance, but dinosaurs?

Cumon Orph, I know its King Kong, but Dinosaurs? Jack Black? I see the makings of a new Independance day esque film of crapness. You can't win me over with good SFX alone!

Yeah, why don't you look at the crew. That's a good list of actors, the only one that's really questionable is Jack Black, and I'm sure he'll fit in once in context.

Actually, I'm a big fan of Jack black. He's a total moron, but does it with a certain style - love Tenacious D. Naiomi Watts and Adrian Brody are very good drama actors, and I think will do well to balance out Jack Black's schtick. With Jacksons reputation and resources, do you think he would mis-cast a role with Jack Black? More likely, he's perfect for this 'entrepreneur, film maker' role. This movie looks like a fun flick. I don't expect anything more.

Yeah, I do think Jack Black is in a good role. Even from the trailer, I got a good vibe off him.

Completely random trivia: The guy who did a lot of Kong's facial features and animation is a former Raven employee. Woo!

I like Jack Black, I have a lot of respect for Peter Jackson. While I can't see this being a huge awesome incredible ground breaking film with no plot holes full of realism, I think it'll be fun to watch.

That about sums up my feelings.

I have a feeling this movie will be nothing more than a chain of chewed-up cliches despite it's almost but not quite interesting trailer.

Which means that this movie will be over-popular despite of it's inferior quality?

It means people will watch it first, then never again. If they do its to laugh at the moment where Jack Black gets killed by the T-Rex, or when Kongs smashing the city, rather than because its a good film.

I think he was cast for a comedy element, I think it is taking a bit of risk (marmite factor, love it or hate it). But I think it could work.

Hmm, i'm supried, the special effects looks pretty good. I think this movie is going to be quite fun to watch <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif">. King-kong, dinosaurs, sword-fighting, machine guns, ancient culture and a bit of spicy urban smashing thrown in. I mean it's not original but who cares? It will give me a laugh.
