How many of you faygos saw this one?
The first movie when I was a kid that totally left me in awe was King Kong. And even today in my opinion the greatest single scene in movie history is when Kong breaks into the natives village, when we see him standing there as the gates open.
Seen them all...
Son of Kong
Konga
Mighty Joe Young
King Kong with Jeff Bridges
King Kong
and Thursday will be checking out...KONG
One of the great reads is "Gorilla Hunter" Fred G. Merfield and Harry Miller 1956

I have.
A few critics didnt like how the human part of the movie played out (too one dimensional, boring, uninspired writing, etc) But Kong's the star of the show, and the director made sure of that.
King Kong as the triumphant, alpha male hero of the story, not a tragic hero or antihero. Badass MF. The most gigantic Kong I've ever seen.
Beautifully shot. Breath taking at times.
Heavily influenced by Vietnam war movies, especially Apocalypse Now. If you like rock and roll from the late 60s-early 70s, you 'll like the soundtrack.
The fight scenes were fun. Better than Peter Jackson's scenes, IMO. I thoroughly enjoyed the carnage and the destruction.
Watch it on IMAX if you can.
PS
John C Reilly's funny and a little heartbreaking here.
it was fine. I don't like it that some reviewers are complaining about the humans in the movie. The name of the star is in the le so I never cared about the humans.
I'm going this weekend. Been looking forward to this in the same vein I looked forward to Pacific Rim...I knew exactly why I was going to the movies and from the reviews I fully expect it to deliver on that expectation.
Like...
Wizard of Oz
Casablanca
The Godfather
Frankenstein
....Hollywood can never equal the original 1933 King Kong.
Only Marlon Brando can sell...."you don't understand, I could have been somebody, not some bum, let's face it. I could have been a contender".......in... On The Waterfront.
yep. didn't try to take itself too seriously like the previous incarnations of kong
filmed in vn, did the other congs come out of the jungle with kong?
very good flick.
I think it's a lil disappointing the op got my post deleted. I just wanted to know how big mook was doing for Christs sakes. Did he die from weight related issues?
Still trying to hook up with my son Mason. Tomorrow at 10:30 AM
i knew it
disgusting
See that right there is what started all this ridiculous pedo talk. That same kind of stupidity. I get that you/others here are immature know nothings but to take what I said about my stance on that sick and turn it totally around, just like you are doing right now........sheesh~~~
Grow the up, ok kid?
Mason is 23 years old and his job, and neither of us wanting to go when the kids can be there is the problem.
translation
We all get you never even implied anything about underage girls over there....BUT....being stupid little s it's just fun messing with the one guy here who knows all that stuff.
Now ya can see what happened with this stupid pedo crap. That same level of immature stupidity.
Avante....we should have been told about sick over there.
Stupid....pedo pedo`~~~
Finally saw the flick, and at 10:30am we had the place all to ourselves, how cool is that?
While the flick was great, and very entertaining they have to stop trying to peddle it off as KONG. This had nothing at all to do with the actual King Kong. Why not....Gigantis....Monstrosity....anything other than KONG.
In Son of Kong, Shull Island was destroyed by a volcano.
My only negative as far as the flick went was a little too much of the human element. It simply got in the way.
I kinda pissed Mason off naming all those late 60 early 70 songs.
Did you do the old "popcorn" trick on Mason?
We don't eat popcorn, YUCK~~~~~~~~
he wasn't kidding. he said they were gonna hook up at 10:30
Why does this place attract soooooooooooooo many 100% idiots and immature posters? Is this a Texas thing?
...and yet you come back...time and time again.
They made Kong a lot bigger to set up the King Kong vs Godzilla movie in a couple of years.
Tha last Godzilla movie was produced by the same company that made "Kong: Skull island".
A regular sized Kong would be no match for Godzilla, however ferocious Kong may fight back.
