OVERWHELMING...!!! This was such an Extradordinary picture; one for the ages. Naomi Watts is beautiful as Anne Darrow; she`s simply a wondeful talent for the new Millennium......AWESOME!!!!
Just Superbbbbbbbbbb....go watch it..its worthed.....well done....
Too long.
Too long and pretentious. If it had stuck to being a shorter, simpler monster movie I might have enjoyed it more. But then, I really don`t like moster movies other than the original Jurassic Park. The best parts of Kong were those that resembled JP the most. Great special effects and some cool set designs so it`s not a complete waste of time and others might enjoy it. It just wasn`t for me.
there was too much random stuff in it i can tell the director had too much ideas in his mind on how he can better the movie..only ending up NOT knowing how ta put a stop on stuff.. then they figure they wasted too much time & forced to end stuff in a lame way.. like the part where the camera crew was surrounded by a sea of bugs... then there was the part where the dinosaurs went nuts runinng for their lives... i mean~ wth! everyone goes ninja style and somehow NOT gett crushed/ i mean these stuff cud of been just excluded from the movie without making too much of a difference....
i didn`t really like it
Decent movie. Should have been 2 hours, but they pushed plot aside and had endless action/chases/fights on Skull Island that needlessly went on forever, boosting the running time above 3 hours. They`d be running from creature A only to bump into creature B, fight it and draw the attention of creature C, run from that to fall off a cliff where creature D shows up. And so on. The relationship between Kong and the girl was done remarkably well, but the relationship between the girl and the writer seemed nonexistant and forced. Still, despite a hundred and one gripes with the movie, in the end I did enjoy it overall. The ending was very well done
Take one part Jurrassic Park, one part Land That Time Forgot, add a really bad remake, sprinkle in way too many computer generated dinosaurs, and you have it, the recipe for 3 hours of crap. Way too over hyped!!!
How did they get King Kong on the boat and back to New York?
Great movie, just ones can they make king kong live and show the nice side of us humans, instead of greed.
The movie was definetely a peice of eye candy, absolutely stunning graphics. but the fact that the island seemed to be designed for a bunch of clueless humans to stumble upon, full of impossible situations such as a bunch of giant grasshoppers attacking a dude and some kid who`s never shot a gun before somehow blasting the grasshoppers away with a machine gun, never mind that the creatures would have nothing to eat if the humans like swarms of giant bugs with no desire to feed on anything but humans, and where did all the T-Rex`s come from? overall the most part of the movie was just a bunch of random scenes made to amaze the audience while
This movie failed in every category except for the radiance of Naomi Watts who lit up the screen. I walked out and enjoyed Fun with Dick and Jane for a while instead.
its awsome!
I thought the movie was a bit long but the effects for King Kong were amazing. Overall, a good movie, but should have been 2 hrs instead of 3 hrs.
this is a b-movie, but it is still very very good. very entertaining with amazing special effects and explosive action. 4 stars.
KONG KONG KONG ,GO KONG,AWESOME MOVIE FOR YOUR MONEY
feel good movie, happy, sad, heart pumping to the very end, got my moneys worth...............
Amazingly entertaining movie. A must see on the big screen with big sound.
Good Graphics, good Movie but too long....
awesome king kong is the best movie i`ve seen all year.
It was great. Thanks!
AWESOME!!! COULDNT GET ANY BETTER!!!!!!!!! WOOOOO GO PETER JACKSON! I wouldnt have thougt Jack Black in a serious movie would be any good but wow! he was awesome!
a visually entertaining movie with a great cast that just falls a little short in trying to cater to as wide an audience as possible; a hollywood movie;
This was the best remake I have ever seen. Peter Jackson took a classic film from the 30`s, and managed to make it twice as long and twice as brilliant. This is the most entertaining movie in a long time. Anybody who has negative comments about this movie should have watched the original 1933 version first.
THE BEST MOVIE OF THE YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WATCHING IT FOR 3 HRS IS SOOOOOOO WORTH IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
King Crap !! Outrageously un-believable, humans outrun gigantic pre-historic beasts, Kong runs through the jungle holding a human in his hand at a whiplash inducing pace then she casually starts doing cartwheels for him...sub machine guns shoot at huge bugs on a guys back, and only hit the bugs. Incredibly long and stupid with bad casting and acting also. Wait for the dvd in your bargain bins soon. Sorry kids, it truly sucked if you dont buy the hype and be honest.
KING KONG IS THE BETS MOVIE!! SO GUDDD, N SADDD:( BUT I LOVED ITT!!!!
Only average film...Please explain how did they bring Kong to New York? It`s bascially impossible to do that!
To long, to boring and to much cheesy action, but I loved the speical effects they were awesome!
It was ok...just a bit too long... good effects...overall it was okay.
Wow! This is one of the best films that I`ve seen this year. AMAZING CGI... and the storyline was so well done that I didn`t even notice that the film was 3 hours long! I can`t wait for this to come out on DVD!
awesome, simply awesome! The eyes of king kong are simply wonderful - full of emotion and character!! great movie!!!!
A must see movie..For real..
whats wrong with u haters!!!!! This movie isn`t even close to cheesy. Sure its impossible but it lets ur imagination go beyond anything u have ever seen. YOU BETTER WATCH THIS MOVIE IT DESERVES MORE THAN 5 STARS. the graphics, plot and acting was excellent. Don`t bring kids under the age of 11.l This movie has some violent, bloody and disgusting scenes. BUT OTHER THAN THAT. AWESOM, EXCELLENT,MIND-BLOWING,BEST-MOVIE-EVER,!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A job well done to peter jackson and naomi watts and the rest of the crew. It was so heart breaking at the end though and the first hour seemed a bit pointless. Overall 4.5/5 stars.
Amazing Film. But not long enough. That is right, not LONG ENOUGH. If the movie was amazing for 2 hrs, can you imagine if there was another Hour? Look at LOR 1, 2 & 3 Good Job Peter, J
I just saw this movie for a second time last night and I cried again. All the girls will have to bring some tissues. The emotion in Kong`s eyes just get to you, the cast did an excellent job. I saw the oringal 1933 movie the other day, it`s noting compared to this one. I enjoyed the fact that in this movie the character Anne Darrow was not a "victim" and didn`t just scream the whole time. She understood him. Best movie I`ve ever seen, I really don`t like love stories that much and I loved this one.
it was a great movie however they could cut off some parts with dinosaur. I think that part meaningless and made the movie too long.
King Kong is worthless! The only reason critics have been giving it 4 to 5 stars is because they are all affraid of being the one to shoot down he who made the Lord of the Rings! Interactions between the ape andthe girl are long, wordless and boring. The dinosaurs look less really (If not to say totally fake) then in the original Jurassic Park (You`d think that after a decade, they would be better!). None of the main carachters is able to attract the sympathy of the audience. Sure, Kong looks allot more real then in previous incarnations: But that does not make a movie! In all: Peter Jakson`s King Kong isn`t woth your money! Better to
call "king kong" number one!!!
this film was good. but could have left out the scene in the New York... that ruined the film.
to many stare downs between a woman and a gorilla! also to long!!! good fight scenes though
King Kong is the best film of 2005
to all those people who have been so negative about the movie, make sure u get your head check! the movie was great and the director did an amazing job on it. its definitely worth watching! and one of the best! so... give it a break ok!
the movie was alright. kinda seemed like it was draggin on for the first hour or so but it got pretty exciting once it picked up. not bad i guess, i give it 4 stars.
Movie all in all was good. But how long can you watch monkey love?
I dont understand why people are saying that it was cheesy and boring, are they sure they went to see king kong?? because I thought that it is defenitly the movie of the year. I will defenitly see it again in theater again. all of the characters were beleiveable and amaizing. thank-you to Peter Jackson! *HB*
Ridiculously EXCELLENT!!! just AWSOME!!!
King Kong was incredible! The effects were amazing and the 3 hrs flew by! A real tear jerker though! It made the girls cry and it made the boys cry! Just heart wrenching but fabulous!!!
An amazing movie to a point, it was incredible for the first 2 hours and thirty minutes(minus some dodgey writing at times) but then it just got SAPPY!! Sentimental film making when the film is really good is the sign of a big ego and an even bigger budget.... remember "Dead Alive" or "Meet the Feebles" Peter Jackson when you made fun movies that didn`t border anywhere near Hollywoodism!!! You`re smarter than that.
