Overall a very entertaining film. Not a "classic" but still worth the price of admission. The bad...the acting was so so at best (the male leads blew) & at three hours...too long. They could have cut out at least 30 minutes. The good...the effects are amazing..the scene of Kong vs. three T-rex..wow! The chemistry between Kong & Cambell was believable...& the ending is heart breaking.
Not a bad movie... don`t get caught up in all the hype. Seemed to go on too long. Unfortunately, some directors believe they can improve on an original because they have access to 21st century technology. I would rate it about the same (except for the special effects of course) as the remake with Jessica Lange and give it 3 stars.
AMAZINg and emotional one of the best films i have seen in a long time, the island part of the movie is the most exciting
Awesome movie guaranteed to get Oscars.Well worth the admission
movie was medeocre at best, kong was a cool character, but it was pretty boring. I will definitely not watch this again. Just like the other guy said, we get it CG blah blah, yeah you can do anything with it, what`s the point, if you have 3 hours of yawning while you are watching it.
great movie, must see, a little boring at the beginning and sad
IT WAS A TITANIC REMAKE. Pure cheesey hollywood movie. garbage. definitely not worth the money. a pure insult to movie goers everywhere. 0 - 1 star
Imagination. It`s all about imagination.
It was ok. I thought it was too cheesy and unnecessarily long. Grandiose visual effects don’t impress me anymore. I need substance! Yes, it’s well established that with CGI anything is possible, now stop dwelling on it. I bet that if someone else had directed King Kong it wouldn’t have received as many good reviews. It’s almost as if Peter Jackson can do no wrong now because he directed The Lord of the Rings trilogy – which for the record I didn’t like either. =FC=
AMAZING MOVIE!GREAT ACTING JACK BLACK WAS ACTUALLY REALLY REALLY GOOD FOR THE PART AND THE EFFECTS ARE BREATH TAKING 10 MILLION STARS. BB
Good Film, not as good the 1933 version, but still very entertaining. Andy Serkis put alot of emotion into Kong and deserves a reward for this one. Loved all the scenes between Ann and Kong.
Peter Jackson pulls another blockbuster...slaps steven speilberg or n e of the directors right on their faces...definately a 4 star movie....cant miss this movie..
What the Hell happened to Jimmy? Peter Jackson built up that character so much, I don`t even know what happened to him. P.Jack. needs to hire some new editors, it seems like he can`t create a movie under 3 hours. 4 stars mostly for Adrien Brody and Naomi Watts great casting choices.
It was too long, and yes it was somewhat cheezy, but it is a good popcorn movie. Don`t go with big expecations and just sit back and enjoy.
Great cinematography! Great animation! Much better than I expected. The time just flew by. I must admit that during the last scenes, I became acutely aware of my fear of heights and to a lesser degree, my sense of agoraphobia. RAN
I didnt like this movie, way to long, too much cheesy action, and just plain boring. I really thought i was watching Jurasic Park.
DEFINITLY MOVIE OF THE YEAR KING KONG IS AMAZING!!
IT WAS AN AMAZING MOVIE .. BEST MOVIE IVE EVER SEEN.... KING KONG IS THE BEST!! DEFINITLY WORTH WATCHING SO GOOD DIDNT EVEN SEEM LIKE 3 HRS... 3 HRS WENT BY SOO FAST
really good...not as cheezy as people are saying..go see it :)
Wow! It was absoultely amazing and Kong was so realistic. I really enjoyed the film.
THE MOST INTENSE MOVIE EVER!! The Lord of The Rings was more epic, but this movie was non-stop on the edge of your seat action, at least once they got to Skull Island. I love movies where your`e just cheering all the way, and King Kong is no exception. Watching Kong take on three T-rex`s at once is amazing and when he destroys all of them, whil protecting Ann, you have to yell "YEAH..GO KONG GO!!" However, before the cast arrived at Skull Island, the movie was a bit slow. I think Peter Jackson could have cut down the whole boat scene and shortened the movie signifigantly. Also, I was dissapointed with the selection of Jack Black, he`s a
Amazing.....
I cannot say this is a best movie I’ve ever seen, but it is a great movie.
BEST MOVIE EVER .. I cant cant say ever but atleast so far this year .. a must see
It was way too long & just too sad
Can be described in one word. Incredible.
Excellent, amazing, spectacular. I truly loved and enjoyed King Kong.
This movie cannot be expressed in no less than one word...Marvellous! People who call it chessy, are lunatics, why would someone want to come see King Kong expected a realistic movie...a twenty-five foot ape is the star for one! If one thinks it was too long, then people`s sense of time is probably off, i looked at my watch once throught the whole movie, and when i did, i saw that two hours passed, expecting only 45mins too pass...the movie, surpassed all my expectations and served to be the best eye cnady that i have had EVER in a theatre. Peter Jackson, i am not a Fan on The LOTR trilogy, but, i think you hit saprkling gold on this. Bravo!
I was pleasently shocked. I haven`t been following the hype about this movie... knew little about it, didn`t even realize how long it was until after it finished. Awesome. Will watch again King Kong. Loved the the Skull Island.
It was very well done. Some parts too scarey for little kids. Lots of good action and fight scenes with the big animals on the island. Beautiful scenes between kong and Ann. As a viewer I really got a sense of their love that developed. I especially enjoyed the scene in new york on the ice.
I think King Kong should win Best Actor this year at the Oscars - it is unbelievable how the special effects were so real. I never for one second even though that this giant ape was generated with computer technology - those eyes are real! The beginning I admit was a bit slow but it was good for character development. I loved it! GO SEE IT NOW!!!!! (bring tissues)
it was a good movie!
it`s a oooossssssssssaaaaaaaaaaaaammmmmmmmmmmm movie. good special effect and when u see it u don`t feel it they add special effects.i love it don`t miss this movie guys....
This move is just amazing!!! Best than everything what I saw for a many years! This kind of movies is very rare – I almost decided not to go to the theater again (after watching Syriana, Harry Potter, Flightplan, Mask of Zorro…). This is masterpiece together with “Titanic”, “Notebook”, “Out of Africa”, “Cliffhanger”, “Godfather”… Thanks Peter Jackson for giving us the opportunity to enjoy such a wonderful movie!!!
This movie is amazing! the graphics are great...GO see it!
Great movie!! WORTH DA MONEY!!:)
I personaly think this movie was an amazing, spectacular, and miraculas use of $7.00. I`ll admit it was bit too long but Peter Jackson directed the Lord of thr Rings (and we all know about those movies)so you`d expect it. If you`re wondering about Jack Black`s performance he wasn`t really funny in my oppinion in any other movie so nobody should of expected him to be funny in this one. I advise he stay in actions and drama`s. I read that somepeople said it was slow at the begining but if you have A.D.D then I could understand, seriously I didn`t find any slow part of the film. I mostly saw people after the movie in tears especialy my father, s
How can you wreck a movie if it`s absolutely true to the original?! This movie is mind-blowing! It deserves nothing less than 5stars. The people who actually give this a 1-star rating is lying not only to all other movie goers, but to themselves. Maybe they just don`t get movies...Anyway, GO SEE THIS MOVIE! You won`t be dissapointed!
Worth the money to watch! The whole story has to be told so it`s gonna take a bit of your time (3 hrs)
I thought this movie was a waste of time. At times i thought i was watching Juarsic Park, but not nearly as good. Way to long.
