I Just Got Back From Watching King Kong

[BigBank_Hank]

And it’s easily one of the top five movies that I’ve ever seen. I haven’t been this blown away since I went to see Saving Private Ryan for the first time and I could have easily walked right back into the theater and watch it again.

What a masterpiece.

[colt45joe]

i heard it was too long...and it really didnt need to be as long as it was.

still going to see it at a nice theater though.

[BigBank_Hank]

It’s not to long. It takes time to develop a story and characters so that you can get to know them.

[Guyver]

i felt it took too fuckign long for them to get to the island...

[zapjb]

3 hrs 7 mins. I'll probably wait for the vid.

[S!X]

I wanna see it :)

[Barbarossa]

3 hrs 7 mins. I'll probably wait for the vid.

That'll probably be a 5 hour directors cut... :dabs:

[ziggyjuarez]

9/10 in my book.just got back also.Very good.the movie isent really that long.It did have a little bit too much time on the boat but it was still an easy 9/10.

[david622]

yeah, i saw it yesterday.......

AWESOME

[cpt_azad]

ok now i have to go watch it damnit lol

[Cheese]

3 hrs 7 mins. I'll probably wait for the vid.

Ugh, sounds like another Peter Jackson snore-fest. I'll wait for quality download.

[Busyman]

If Cheese thinks it'll probably be a bad movie then that means I should go see it.

Maybe this weekend I can movie hop and see 2...oh fuck no....KK is over 3 hrs. That's 2 movie lengths already.:dry:

[maebach]

I thnk I wanna go see it on Friday.

[abu_has_the_power]

i saw it on fri night. it's way too long. epic, but way too long. i almost cried at the end.

and yes, the 2nd half is kinda boring. i yawned many times in the 2nd half. but this is definitely a good movie

[maebach]

abu = emo?

[abu_has_the_power]

abu = emo?
:mellow: :huh: :huh:

how am i emo?

[Skiz]

wow...I thought this would have been a bust.

[abu_has_the_power]

I really think that anyone who thinks that this movie is to long has the attention span of a flea. I don’t know what it is about people hearing that a movie is three hours long that make them not want to go see it. A story takes time to tell and develop and so do that characters that are in the movie so that you have an understanding as to what’s really going on.

Good movies are so few and far between now that its rare when really good ones come along like this one.

I agree. However, getting to know the characters should be interesting and not boring.

I saw the first LOTR because I had just put my car in the shop and a friend of mine was going to see it. I needed a ride anyway so I saw the movie.

I was bored to tears. Each of the other LOTR movies got better but I was pissed I went to the movies that day.

I think I'm going to wait 'till KK comes on cable or DVD so I can watch it in installments in the comfort of my own home.

I have HD, a subwoofer, and surround sound. I get my microwave popcorn, turn the lights off in the basement and it's pitch black down there besides the light from the TV.

No problem.

B I still like to watch movies like this at the theater.

I remember going to see Saving Private Ryan for the first time and being blown away by it. I went to see it again the next day and 3 more times after that because I loved watching it on the big screen.

This movie is sorta like that as well. I probably go to see it again at the theater before it comes out on DVD.

I don't dl cam movies anymore. It's shit quality. Every blue moon my friend gets a DVD rip or damn close too it and watch that. I think the last I had of that was Shrek 2.

With how far away you sit from a theater screen and how far away I sit in front of my own big screen, I think I'm ok with not paying to see movies at the theater all the time.

I don't have to worry about falling asleep, I can't take a piss without missing the movie, and don't have to spend a bundle on food and drink.

One day I'm going to hook up an LCD projector for a bigger screen but I'd have to move my seating accordingly. My cousin already such a setup. He sits on playing SOCOM online all the time.

Yeah I saw Blade a coupla times (with different people).

Do you have a big screen at home with surround sound?

[Damnatory]

It's fucking King Kong, how could this movie possibly be a 9/10?!? How can it possibly be better then the other 300 shitty King Kong movies, aside from a little CGI. :ermm:

[Barbarossa]

I've never liked remakes. Maybe they should have twisted it round a bit. For example,have it with a 100 foot woman and a pocket-sized monkey. :dabs:

[Cheese]

This made me chuckle:


<Leitari> omg
<Leitari> king kong is long
<Leitari> ^^
<Leitari> my ass hurts
<Leitari> wait
<Leitari> that didnt sound right

Yeah what about Mighty Joe Young? (sounds like a black football player):unsure:

[Skillian]

Saw this last night, and I thought it was OK. The effects were spectacular and there were some great scenes, but as a film it kind of limped along.

As for the three hours being needed for character development - what character development? There were only three characters at the end of the movie that we could possibly have seen any development in, and those three personalities were as distinctly flat and cliched as they were at the beginning. No character had taken any kind of journey or changed remotely throughout the length of the film.


It was also pretty stupid how they cut from unconcious ape on island to chained up onstage in NYC - quite how they managed that move is unknown to me.

lol neither do i. i haven't downloaded a cam since spiderman. i don't mind waiting a few months for a proper dvd rip

[BigBank_Hank]

Yeah I saw Blade a coupla times (with different people).

Do you have a big screen at home with surround sound?

No I don’t have a big screen (right now). The only big screen that I want is plasma and I think I’ll wait another year before I get one so that the prices will be more reasonable. I have a 36’ now that’s about 2 years old and I paid a pretty penny for it so I don’t want to spend another 5 grand on a tv.

Plasma TVs have gas that leakes out and TV must be serviced every 5 years. I doubt it even has the same life cycle the other TVs have. Not only that, you can't get a huge plasma screen to my knowledge. I don't think 55" screens are even affordable (if they make 'em). I personally think that TV manufacturers have duped folks into smaller screens at higher prices.Good luck.

Either way you not having a big screen explains alot.

[BigBank_Hank]

Well the plasma that I want is a Best Buy and is 53’ and cost 10 grand. Every time I go to Best Buy I go stand in front of it and drool.

Imagine if you had that at home. You'd hit the the theaters less.

My daughter of 12 cried buckets.

12 of your children? Does that mean you have 11 boys?

Goodness, your uterus is going to fall the fuck out.

[mr. nails]

so, i watched this today and the movie was outstanding! i thought it was great. kinda prolonged the ending a little, but other than that. great film!

[silent h3ro]

[hippychick]

I saw this movie today and no matter how many times I see a new version I still cry at the end lol.
I didnt think it was too long. I liked it when they were on the island with the dinosours and bugs lol. They made the raptors look like stupid beast.
I knew what was going to happen in the city, so it wasnt as exciting.
The theatre I went too played one of those old movie reel intermissions at the half way point, it was really neat to see something made in the early 50's.
I give it a 8/10 for when they were on the island.

[maebach]

I was gonna watch it yesterday night, but there were only 6 seats left in the theatre

[ziggyjuarez]

Do you live in china:hu:

[maebach]

No, but it'd be weird watching KingKong in chinese

[TuBBz]

Jackson is a genius, period

King Kong is an excellent film and well worth the visit to a cinema

The only bit that spoiled it for me was the running between the dinasoars legs

That was just too unbeleivable

[Barbarossa]

Hmm yes indeed, because a giant ape scaling the Empire State Building and patting away aeroplanes is so plausible... :dabs:

[Cheese]

Anyone catch the Sumatran Rat-Monkey reference?

I liked the film but still felt it was overly long, there was little character development to justice this, more stretching out of action scenes and the big emotional scenes. Yeah "beautiful" great, hurry up and get killed already.
