i was disappointed.........everyone made such a big hype aout this movie so i finally decided to go watch it. first of all: needed to be cut down in length, second: better actors needed, third: less gory deaths, fourth: bugs weren`t needed except to make ppl sick to thier stomachs, and finally: the constant "every corner you turn on will result in another attack" gets REALLY annoying. all i give props to is the computer graphics, but thats not what makes a movie peter jackson!
Adrien Brody`s role was very poorly written. The "love story" between him and the girl was completely forced and not developed in the least. The only good parts of this movie were the quiet scenes between Kong and the girl. The rest was ridiculously over the top, and the action, believe it or not, was the least entertaining part of the film. The action scenes just went on forever. An OK movie but I recommend waiting for rental.
THE BESTEST MOVIE EVER :p TWO THUMBS UP!
The dialogue was infantile and not very good. The classic making of a film for the weak minded. Scenes were short in duration with no time for even a plausible theme or character development. Cinematography was not of average quality. The story began very slowly and when the crew reached the destination of Skull Island it became more ridiculous. In my opinion the original( 1933) was better and the acting was superior. My advice--don`t waste your money.
Please rename this movie King Long. Cause this movie takes a 1 hour story and somehow finds a way to add 2 more hours!?!? WHAT!? Scene upon pointless scene is added to this movie. I mean how many times can you show 5 minutes of a giant gorilla sitting there doing nothing!? Well according to Peter Jackson you can do it at least 10 times in 1 movie. The only thing i cared about is where the heck Billy came from. I love these movies where people die left and right and you see very little effect of it on the survivors are the emotionless robots? Jack Black should stick to roles where he plays a goof. Cause even when he is trying to be a
I enjoy the movie with my partner,I really enjoy the part after they meet,and she was trying to intertain kong so he would eat her,and once she came exhausted, he still wanted her to continue, and got made when she didn`t,my partner enjoy it as well being and ex navy man,tried to tell them how to reverse the boat,I almost had to slap him. smile,but we enjoy it alot, that I will see it again.
it was cool i loved it
I do not recommend this movie. Every aspect of it was taken WAY to far, and it left us rolling our eyes saying "oh, come on!". Kong was very well done, but overall it was a waste of 3 hours.
THE GREATEST MOVIE OF 2005!!!!!! HAD THE BEST SPECIAL EFFECTS AND A GREAT STORY!!!!
Great movie I felt it toke to long to get to the Kong, a lot of movie leading up to it.Shorter movie would be more enyoyable.
very boring
i agree with the person who said "i guess peter jackson can`t make a movie less than three hours long." that person was on to something. has anyone noticed how peter jackson`s films sort of lack romance?
i thought the movie was kind of cool. yeah, it was unnecesarily wrong, yes, there was too much CGI, but hey...an ape falling in love with a woman...that`s got to touch SOMEBODY. it was sweet. long, but sweet.
it was coooool.... well yea the big insects were unessasary but it was good entertainment none the less..... loved it... go watch it people...
This movie was great. King Kong looked very real. There was lots of action that kept me on the edge of my seat. Great acting. I give it two thumbs up!
good work and i send my greeting to all ho works in this film samir
Wooo....what a great movie! It didn`t feel like 3 hrs at all, since there wasn`t any dull moment. GREAT MOVIE!!!!!
i thought the scene with the nasty creatures and bugs was unnessessary
i didnt like how it showed such a negative side of the aboriginals, it seemed to us like they were savages, but overall i liked the movie, very entertaining and touching
EEE king kong rocks ... he is sooo adorable like whoa who ever said that it was bad must be on crack !!! man i loved it i wanna marrie that ape thing... maybe not marrie but you know what i mean.
KYLE CHANDLER WAS THE BEST ACTOR IN THE MOVIE! HE WAS SO FUNNY AND SO CUTE!
I would nominate the animated King Kong for an Oscar, Genie and Golden Globe award. Kong was the only "actor" with any sense of what he was doing. Were the actual actors and actresses from off Broadway? Like from out of the solar system? They were terrible and I wouldn`t even call them actors or actresses .... Send them back to acting school for a few years ....... or better still put them into movies .......... SILENT MOVIES. One more thing: Did the script writer have a mental block? There sure wasn`t anything said in the movie. NOW I WONDER IF YOU WILL PUBLISH THESE COMMENTS!!!! Have a nice day
I loved this movie especially the line "Only one creature could make a footprint like this the abominable snowman!!!"
I did not like the movie due to it`s length and use of unnecessary language.
It was a pretty good movie. I`d recommend it to people.
I thought it was a pretty good movie. King Kong looked quite real. I`d recommend it.
KING KONG WAS TIGHT! THAT WAS KRUNK! BIG GORILLA ROAMIN` THRU DA JUNGLE!?! AWESOME!!!
I loved the movie, but not so much when jack black was on the screen. However the acting from the other actors/actresses was great. The movie was a little on the long side but all around a wicked production. Excellent props, costumes and graphics.
I liked the movie very much...however, found it to be a bit too long. All the visual and sound effects was amazing.
This movie was GREAT! An all time classic. It is a must see movie.
Fantastic! Absolutly Fantastic! It was really well done!!
Long and boring
simply amazing
One of the weaknesses of the original was the racist treatment of the natives on Skull Island. This new version doesn`t do anything to remedy that. Someone should tell Peter Jackson he`s dealing with human beings and not orcs. Dopey acting and weak dialogue makes this a silly, forgetable movie.
This was the most amazing movie i`ve seen. Peter Jackson did an incredible job at making the characters alive. The creepy people, that took Anne captive and tried to giver her to Kong, were SO kewl! I was scared so bad, but it was amazing how well they ressembled the orcs in the LOTR movies. You could see Peter`s touch there. Kong was so well portrayed, it was amazing how well his feelings came out in this movie. If I were Peter Jackson, I would feel satisfied thatI would be able to come out with a brilliant trilogy such as the LOTR and King Kong, in such little time. This was an AMAZING movie, GO SEE IT!
I found this movie terrible.... way too long and very slow moving in many parts.
AWESOME!!!!!!!!!
It was good at the beginning then it was soooooo boring and it was too long!
Even though the movie was quite long, it went by really fast and was awesome. Its a great romantic movie...i want a king kong for myself
very good
I thought that the movie was way too long. It should have been about an hour shorter. Special effects were great, but some parts (the island inhabitants & a few of the other creatures) were extremely scary. Definitely not a movie for children, I even had to look away in parts. A take it or leave it type of movie - and I should have left it.
king kong is the best movie my edvise is that evryon should go see it it rocks
WOnderful and magical
This was one of the worst movies I have ever seen. Too many parts dragged on and on. And Anne standing on top of the Empire State building with nary a hair moving was ludicrous! I was expecting a lot more from Peter Jackson.
I thought that King Kong was a graet movie. Although it had parts that just dragged somtimes, therefore it was a very long movie. Besides the parts that dragged it was a movie well worth my time and my money.
Seeing as this is a peter Jackson film, i shoulda expected it would be this long. My favorite scene was of course kong vs. the 3 rexs. I dont know what type of spin Jackson was trying to put onto this but i think he made a movie with parts apealing to every type of movie lover. Anyone who has writen a bad review for this movie clearly only watches movies to waste time. This is why they shouldnt watch Jackson films (im not a fan LOTR btw but i recognize jackson`s skill as a true storyteller which is a rare talent these days due to technology). Due to the movie being loaded with so many types of scenes(comedy, romance, mystery, action, horror [
i like this movie..the kingkong is so cute!
AWSOME, simple AWESOMEEEEEEE
asome movie if u havnt seen it what are u waiting for go!!
This movie was way to long, As many of us pay $10.00 plus to see the beast known as King Kong, you should not get to excited as it takes about an hour and a half into the movie until you do. The story was a mushy love story between a man who loves a woman, a ape who loves a woman, and a woman who loves a man and a ape, confused? you should be. Altought the special effects in this movie where mind blowing, you shouldnt have to wait 90 minutes to see them and i would suggest waiting till video because three hours and 20 minutes is a long time to go without using the washroom....specialy after a movie theather size soft drink.
