King Kong

King Kong is out, and wa up till 2:00 am last night screening a copy for my job.

I want to know, what yall think of it.

I, personally, loved the film; on of the best 3 and a half hour movies
I've ever seen. Loaded with spectacular footage. When at
great heights, the ground terrain looks so real with the right amount
of blur. The creature all look too real to be fake. The
story is thin, but fits well with the theme, plus Peter Jackson added
the right touch of laughable parts. (Not phoney thing but thing that
tend to make you laugh to yourself. Example below \|/

Spoiler:

[start]After Kong tumbles down a cliff with
the three TRex's, he looses Ann; but she gets cought by a couple
vines. She however was tangled right next to one of the
rex's. So, the rex is near death and decide to start swinging to
try and grab ann.<br style="color: black;">
You have to see it to understand.[end]

The sound is unbelievable. They actually used true surround sound tech. The whole movie actually sounded alive.

As many have said before.

"Peter Jackson puts Spielburg to shame, making Jurassic park look like Disney World."

You know, I've actually got nothing to say

I didn't like it at all. When I got out of the Movie-theatre, I was convinced I had just seen a documentary on cliches.

Haven't seen it yet, this thread makes me want to watch it though. Anyone played the game based on this movie?

I tried sniffing coke, but the ice cubes kept getting stuck in my nose.

The game is quite amazing! It's like playing a movie or something because I couldn't tell whether I was in a cutscene or playing the game :smile:

Enjoyed it throughly.

Everyone forgets it's still based off the original movie. So, that's why those cliches are there. Surprise, surprise. It's a bit of a change, but, yeah, awesome.

I don't know if it's a joke or not, but they've been tossing around making the other two in the series.

Morphine, see it, you'll see what I was talking about in the other thread.

I agree, I laughed at many parts, but that means he did his job well. It's just weird at times, with the whole real actors looking fake because the digital characters are so realistic. Even if it is a 25ft silver-back.

Jackson seems like he's pretty good at adapting stuff. Weird to think he made Dead Alive.

It isn't three and a half hours. Trailers at the beginning don't count, the movie is barely over three hours.

Blame it on Microsoft, God does.

Looks crap tbh. The story, the effects. To me the creatures look like something you see in an Xbox game, not nearly good enough graphics or animation.

Oh, don't worry, i've seen the 1933 original aswell.

According to IMDB.com it's a joke:

"On April Fools Day 2005, Peter Jackson posted an elaborate practical
joke, which he posted on a web diary at www.kongisking.net. He
"revealed" that they were already starting production on "King Kong:
Son Of Kong" and "King Kong: Into the Wolf's Lair". Both films,
supposedly to be released in 2006, contained the principal characters
riding Son of Kong, strapping machine guns to his back and fighting
Hitler's genetically mutated creatures. The film was going to be
produced under the banner of "Big Primate Productions". Peter Jackson
has been known to pull pranks of this sort before; see _Forgotten
Silver (1995)_ ."

I hate to break it to ya'll but the movie is 3:20 long, not counting
the previews. One of the requirments for screening a movie is to
calculate from the actual start of the movie to the last bit of
credits, I must admit, though, that those were some long credits.

--Got print started at 10:30, credits started at 1:50.

I have my sources because I work at AMC, pretty soon I'll be upstairs
working on projectore, getting away from all the idiotic guests that
don't bother to read their tickets to find the right auditorium and
those that pester you o sell them a ticket to a sold out movie, WHEN
THE SYSTEM WONT EVEN LET ME SELL ANYMORE TICKETS!!. Anyway,
machines good; they don't complain to the manager about a common
employee practice and nearly get you fired.

I want to see it so badly. Peter Jackson is just a great story
teller, he has a nack for it. And Myrk-, I'd like to see this
game that you're talking about.
