King Kong!

[Quantum_Man]

I am looking so forward to seeing this movie on Wednesday! Oh man I can't wait, I know it's going to be so good. I love 3+ hour long movies. And this one I'm sure is no exception.

Who else is with me on this???!!

 

[enelya_taralom]

I am!!! Even if it's only half as good as LOTR, it'll still be awesome!!

I still remember how disappointed I was in the last remake..the one with a very young Jeff Bridges and Jessica Lange. But the old B/W one made back in the 30's and shown every so often on TV was pretty good. I like the story...maybe this one will be the best.

It's the topic of my house as far as films go. With a 13 year old excited to see it I won't be able to go opening night at midnight. We'll see it Friday or Saturday. No, I won't be checking the reviews I believe Jackson to be all that he's been awarded for.

 

[IrishGrace]

totally can't wait for this movie!! will most likely be seeing it multiple times...

 

[wanderingone]

I wish I was interested...but I'm not.. King Kong has never been of much interest to me... so despite the hype I think we'll be waiting for video on this one. I'll still be interested to see what the reviews from my movie going friends will be...

I will eventually be seeing this one.

I've been waiting on this for over a year. I love the original and was happy to hear that Jackson is keeping it in it 1930's setting. As a fan of anything with a "Pulp Era" setting I approve of his choice.

Keeping it in the 30's setting should really make a difference. I love anything set in that era and marvel at the way they recreate those times. Sounds good and my interest in going is growing. But I will wait to see how it is reviewed and like another poster here may wait for the DVD to come out.

I am stoked for this one so much!! It's got that classic style of film making..and 3 hours! oooh I can't wait.

 

[SparkyMaddie]

Is it wrong to be THIS excited about a movie??? It's all I can think of. I can't go until the Christmas break begins. Like unreal..

Enjoy opening night

I just got back from seeing the movie. My thoughts: 2 thumbs way up!

I am so thankful it was 3+ hours long because you needed that time to develop the characters to really understand their motives and thoughts on things. The action is superb, PJ really knows how to make action sequences exciting as well as look GOOD, really good. And perhaps most impressive of all was that they managed to pull off the 'ape-beautiful woman' relationship. It was totally believable and heartwarming. The emotions ran deep with this one, more than I expected. I'm definitely gonna see this again. My movie pick of 2005.

Ebert is calling it "one of the years best films."

 

[SparkyMaddie]

there's so many showings of this tonight my Dad is taking me and a friend to the 8 Pm one. I'm just

I watched it yesterday, and I thought it was outstanding. I even got watery-eyed at the end...Of course I knew how it would end, but when it came, it was really sad and touching. King Kong has a bit of everything in it- action, adventure, horror, romance. Watch it and you won't regret it.

 

[Solomon Kane]

I caught a showing last night and I'm already wanting to see it again. It is simply an amazing film.
Jackson did not just do a remake of the original. He did the original and expanded on it. From character development to showing us the interior of Skull Island, this film perhaps the best that I've seen since the last LotR film.
As a fan of the "Lost World" genre this film is everything that I've always wanted to see put on film.

Oh, you might want to watch out for Jac Driscoll's frequent use of 'Christ' and 'Jesus Christ'. Even as a non-christian, I flinched at every word like a slap. Although, he's not actually dissing Jesus. Only saying his name. So would that be a swear-word?

 

[CollectiveSoul]

was MY fav anyways

Ebert is calling it "one of the years best films."
