Yeah, not familiar with the book, but I did read about Cruise was supposed to be too short and puny looking to play the Jack Reacher character, off the book's description of the guy.
I grew up watching 1980s Japanese anime cartoons and live action "Power Rangers" style kids shows (BioMan, Mask Rider Black, MaskMan etc.) aged 5 to 11. Growing up and getting closer to high school age all of it seemed so dumb and fake to me, so I lost all interest.
All throughout my teen years, I felt so annoyed with adult age monster movie fans I came across with. I thought they were so childish and had no taste.
I didnt realise they all knew all of it was ridiculous, but still watch it for simple, uncomplicated entertainment factor.

This is Lee Child talking about his creation Jack Reacher.
"So, he's an ex-military officer, he's American, he's alienated, he struggles to participate effectively in civilian society and he has a plain name. And he's huge. He's 6 feet five inches tall and around 250 pounds, all of it muscle"
And that ...HE'S HUGE...is all thru the books. To have a guy like Tom Cruise....huh??? That's like having Dustin Hoffman playing Conan.

What is happening is this....
Kids don't take the time to read the books, they know Sherlock Holmes because of the movies. So they don't have any idea what they are really missing. Same with Tarzan, John Carter on Mars, Conan, King Kull, Solomon Kane, Jack Reacher etc. If they actually knew the books...............
Hollywod needs to do the FU MANCHU (again) and Elric of Melniborn stories. Tailor made for todays Hollywood.
pedo with the Freudian slip
Avante....why weren't we told about that sick going on over there?
Dumb s like Leetonidas...pedo pedo pedo
Too ing stupid to read what is being said. Love to see this little call me that to my face.
The last thing on earth Avante is is some sick ass pedo, ya cut those sick s into pieces. (yep, Avante trolling the re s here, again)
Dude, this thread is about movies, ok? Nobody cares about you proving to everyone your a little ing , ok? Grow the up asshole, ok?
sounds like a dirty movie
Feel sorry for Avante
Easily the best King Kong movie I've seen. Even better than the Jeff Bridges one, which I remember liking very much as a kid (not sure how well it holds up now tho).
Thought everything was good-great about it--script, cast, cinematography. Just a very well done action movie that also has a good amount of & well-placed humor in it as well. Iirc, the last KK took itself too seriously. IMO if you're going to make a movie about 1,000 ton gorilla, you got to have humor in it. So I was happy about that.
Samuel was typical SLJ. & John C. Reilly was his usual funny, in an oddball sort of way self. Everyone else played their parts well, but these two guys, side from Kong, brought the goods.
I highly recommend it. I plan on seeing it again.
Feel sorrier for Mason
The bottom line on these kinds of....everything goes....forums is make an impact. Here it's all about punks saying things in hiding they'd never say to your face, so ya mess wth them. When ya see posters doing little else but Avante, hahaha~~~
It definately delivered the goods. And will watch it again as soon as I can (other than $$$$$$$$$$$$$ theater)
Even with sneaking in our candy....40 bucks.
Anyone catch the post credits scene that sets up KONG vs godzilla?
"I gave him the ol' Jack Reacheround and he was HUGE. So damn HUGE. Sonuva he was HUGE."
indeed. got giddy when they showed ghidorah
hopefully they dont do this again though...
Never seen so many credits. Then again never watch the credits.
Knew about what was coming this time, similiar to Marvel.
King Kong (1933) Was freighting to movie goers from what I heard from old folks who saw it in theaters at the time. People ran out of the theater crying when Kong broke loose from his chains. Religious groups were appalled at the scene where Kong sniffed out Fay Wray.
King Kong (1976) Was a very good remake. It was hacked by the film critics but movie goers loved it. Dino De Laurentiis was very proud of his recreation, “everyone ah cry when ah my Konga die” he would say…Jessica Lange was so smoking hot in that film…
Kong: Skull Island (2017) Was fantastic. It gets moving right away. Great story, great prehistoric creatures, decent cast. If you like monster movies go see it.
There are scenes that were cut from the 1933 original. Too violent for the timesKing Kong (1933) Was freighting to movie goers from what I heard from old folks who saw it in theaters at the time.

The 1976 remake was weak compared to the original.
This latest King Kong had nothing to do with King Kong. BUT...a great giant ape movie.
In about 10 minutes the original 1933 KING KONG on TMC.
