King Kong

[Bishamonten]

Absolutely amazing.  I couldn't believe how well done the film was.  In anyone else's hands I think they would have simply modernized it and set it today instead of keeping true to the original film.  Peter Jackson had me at "I was about to bust my cookies" in Meet the Feebles and I've loved everything after that, but this was just above and beyond what was expected.  Kong himself was beautifully animated with Andy Serkis putting in another amazing turn as a movement actor. 

I actually cried a little   I think the way Kong's face resembled Falstaff's down to even the expressions and look in his eyes had a play in it, but mostly it was just really strong storytelling and directing.  The deep set eyes and flat nose made me think, "I've seen that look before!"  Only one other movie has made me cry. 

Easily going to make it into my favorite movies list.

I saw it. It was really, unbelievably, incredibly, fantastically, spectacularly good.

10:30am Saturday morning can't get here fast enough.

[ReBurn]

Wouldn't it be funny if it really sucked and they were just messing with you?

[ignom]

It could be three hours and seven minutes that you will never get back.

8 more minutes and he could have bested James Cameron for Titanic.

I would totally fall in love with a giant monkey.

I'm not that hairy.

You are admitting to being somewhat hairy, though.

The real question is how bendy are you?

That jessie.  Lucky gal.

[BigDun]

I'm very bendy.

[Gamplayerx]

I'm very bendy.

O RLY?

[BigDun]

I'm very bendy.

O RLY?

I can bend at the waist with my legs staight and put my palms flat down on the floor. And then stand on my toes.

I can also do that thing where you sit on the floor with your knees bent backward and then lay down on my back.

I am proud of my flexibility.

Maybe when I get back from Delaware.

[ignom]

I'm not as bendy as I was when I was 19.

[Jessie]

I've never been very bendy and I become less bendy with each passing year.

[Jessie]

Also, this is the giant monkey that I'm in love with.  I just keep ignom around for appearances.

Oh, how I bawled.

[swolt]

Just got home. I was disapointed. I would rate it a 6 out of 10
There were too many problems I just couldn't get over and I never really got into the movie (like a girl climbing up a hundred foot ladder in high heels.) I kept trying to let Peter Jackson work his magic like he did with LOTR, but all these shortcomings really distracted me. Towards the end I was just hoping everyone would die so I could go home.
It had its moments and overall was enjoyable, but I would have liked a shorter film.

[Infobahn]

You see, I would have a problem that a 25 foot tall ape and dinosaurs still exsisted.  The hell with women in heels.

in sci-fi/fantasy movies you have to have accept some things. This is suppose to be a magical island that somehow is not affected by what goes on outside the walls. These are the "rules" that Jackson clues us in on during the voyage and thus we are suppose to drop doubt and just believe it. Jackson did a great job of that in LOTR and even in The Frighteners(sp?), but he started to break his own rules and I think that really hurt the film. Like the very lame escape from the evil spider/critter place. WTF was up with the guns? They LOOKED like Tommy-Guns but it seems where anti-bug-does-not-hurt-human pop guns.

and not ONCE did Kong throw a barrell at anyone! NOT ONCE!
