  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

You should go see it only if you want to sit in a theater for 3 and some odd hours regretting the loss of $7.50 on which could have been put towards renting a much better movie.

Good acting in the movie is few and far between. Kong has met the same downfall as Star Wars.... over-indulgence in special effects. Its a 3+ hour Special Effects Marathon with an occasional scream and some speech.

The sole highlight of the movie: The "savages". they can definitely make people jump out of their seats

I dont think Jesus is concerned with what you may happen to hear. At least, he certainly wont damn you for what someone else may have said.

They are words, learn to dissassociate meaning and soon you'll find that you can listen to even the most profane movies/music and not bat an eye. It only affects you as much as you LET it affect you.

More directly, the movie is bad b/c it is LOOOONG, drawn out, entirely unsupported by acting to match the graphics and a general lack of cohesivness

Did they mention nothing of the blasphemy in this movie. What type of organization is Christian Awnswers??? God bless. :)

Yeow... Actually, Christiananswers is an awesome movie reviewer and they usually review way more movies than pluggedin does...
they did mention the obsenities and the actual rating was "offensive" for that reason, but when they talked about it and the special effects and stuff, it sounded real neat.
Man, nobody enjoyed it at all?!

I'll post what i did on the other thread on this same page:

I loved it - every second!
I went through every emotion in the book.

Anyway, here's a random assortment of points in no particular order:
Jack Black is superb in his role - you really hate him as they leave the island!

The bit where they "meet" the natives is truly freaky and the part with the bugs is terrifying!!

The action sequences with the dinosaurs are jaw dropping (bad pun considering what Kong does to one of them ) - particularly the stampede sequence when the big dinosaurs are falling off the cliff, taking others with them, and the survivors have to outrun the crumbling floor!!

New York looked amazing, infact, the whole film looked amazing - something to expect from Jackson really!

It never felt rushed or stretched out as they stayed with each section just long enough.

It had plenty of genuinely funny moments!!

All in all i loved it!! I wanted to see it again as soon as the credits rolled! Easily one of the best films ive seen in a long time and the reviews that its getting are definately not over hyped! If you havent already - GO SEE IT!! Definately worth the price of admission!

It's a great movie.
I would like to say that he should trim his movies up.
Or atleast insist on intermissions in the theater.

For a 3 hour movie it had a nice pace to it.
Good dialog with interesting characters, and great music that really helps set the mood.
It's like a Spielberg movie, but a touch longer, and a touch over done.
In other words, it's very very good, but he doesn't top the master of movie making, Steven Spielberg.

Are you serious??? :eek:

Christians are supposed to be different. First of all, Jesus' name is not just a word. It is the name above all names. And one day every knee is gonna bow to his name.

Secondly, telling a Christian they should desensitize themselves by listening to more blasphemy and bad language is offensive and you weren't even talking to me. No, Jesus is not going to hold him accountable since he didn't take his name in vain, but the fact that there was no other profanity in this entire movie except blasphemy is utterly disgusting. :sick: And then I come on here and read raving reviews from each and every Christian just about which makes me even more sick.

I just can't believe how gullible and quick we are to be in the world and not even notice it. My only regret is that I didn't walk out. :sigh:

Amen. It is trully sad While millions are going to hell most Christians sit by and do nothing, are not bothered by sin and the worst part are not bothered when people use the name of the person who died for them to save them. Let us pray that Christians wake up. IF you go to www.livingwaters.com and watch the free video True and False conversion I think it will make a little more sense. God bless. :)

i loved the movie, didnt think it was too long, started great ended excelent, i loved it and would love to see it again. It had things in it that peter jackson put in it to give praise or whatever to the older movies, like talking about previous actresses, lines in the earlier movies, little subtle stuff. I just loved this movie

More than anything else, having the two people crawl and walk around on the Empire State Building was more than I could take. I have a fear of heights. If I ever loved a giant ape and he wanted to climb up there, I would say "Okay, but leave me on the ground, buddy."
