Let me preface my review by saying that the PG-13 rating is well deserved. There were some scenes with natives killing people that were fairly brutal, and if you have ANY fears of creepy crawly things.. DO NOT GO. I'd have probably went with an "R" and showed a bit more flesh if it were me.

That being said, it was an excellent flick. The CGI is every bit as seamless as Gollum's were, if not better. Packed with action, and Jack Black was good as the obsessed filmmaker. Naomi was a perfect modern day substitute for Fay Raye too. At 3 hours, it was a bit of an endurance fest, but it was truly worth seeing on the big screen.

I'd give it an 8 out of 10. Looking forward to more Jackson epics.

I guess for me I'm wondering why go? I mean this is like the umpteen King Kong movie out there. What is so good about this one? Is it better than the other movies?

It's box office marks at the moment are alot lower then the critics were saying it was gonna be.. However supposedly its going to be a movie that stays around for a long time like titanic, I prob wont see it till it comes out on dvd though.

Go see it in the movies..
Completely worth it.

King Kong vs 3 T-Rexs


Oh, and the bugs.

I liked it well enough... but most of my friends didn't. There were some scenes that were just sooo tedious. They could have cut an hour out by clipping down scenes... seriously. There is at least an hour in there of stuff that would have no effect on the story if it wasn't in there.

Kong Vs 3 T-Rex's... cool. Kong vs 3 T-Rex's for like 10 straight minutes, THEN a duel between a single T-Rex and Kong at the end... tedious. I could have gone for just the final fight.

Also, while the CGI was cool, there were some scenes in which it bothered the hell out of me. I don't know what happened with the running under the dinosaurs part... but to me it looked like the people were running on a treadmill in-front of the screen. Something just didn't look right.

I liked the 1930's New York though... and the scene on top of the Empire State building was gorgeous.

There are two basic problems with the film.

Peter Jackson can no longer put his masterwork on the cutting room floor. Each segment runs too long. 3:09 isn't necessary for every new "masterpiece" there Pete, 'ol buddy.
No jumbo-size "equipment" on the ape. Kong is mad because he's a eunich. Computer-aided hyper-realistic ape my ass.

How could they castrate an ape his size I wonder...

of course if they put a package on the ape, with as many scenes as he's in, and the "hyper-realism", the movie would be NC-17

Is it just me or does Palimax seem eager to see some crank?

Godamnit, now I've got "gorilla penis" in my google search history.Gorillas have relatively small penises, so it is an often used subtle insult in countries such as Australia to insinuate or directly state that one is 'hung like a gorilla'.Oh yeah dude, you're hung like King Kong all right.

Oh, this had to turn into a gorilla penis thread! I knew there was a reason I hung around here.

Since Kong is mostly covered with fur and gorilla penises are comparatively small, I suppose a "lump" could have been introduced that wouldn't have offended. But then again, didn't Kong have a thing for the girl?

Personally, I'd hate to be a window washer on the Empire State Building. "Hey, Ralph. How was your day at work?" "G'damn snail trails! You know how hard it is to get that crap out of the cracks?"
