King Kong

[Kinky Gerbil]

Has anyone seen this?

Does it really need to be 3 hours long?

To merit the description it has to be at least that.

KING WHAT!!!

 

[Mellor 3 Ward 4]

Seen it.

Could be done in 2.5 hours max.

Well actually seeing as we all know exactly what is goung to happen in the end it could be done in about 20 minutes.

Kong himself is excellent. Fantastic Special Effects. just a bit too long.

Saw it last night, and I thought it was excellent. Some truley jaw-dropping sequences, once again pushing the boundaries of special effects to their limits. Naomi Watts is superb as the damsel, although sadly she remains stubbornly fully clothed, despite spending 3/4 of the film being pawed and mauled about by a 60 ft ape. I was told there was an attempted rape scene, but there's not. Kong is the perfect gentleman to her throughout. I'd also like to have seen him EAT more people rather than just throw them hard into walls, but other than that slight disappointment, I'll give it a GG rating of 9.3.

I thought it was quite good also,took my son who wasn't happy that it took a while to see Kong,but enjoyed it anyway......

I was told there was an attempted rape scene, but there's not.

a) Did she consent?
b) How the hell is he supposed to get his massive ape cock up a woman the size of his toenail?

It is going to have to be something extra special to beat the magnificent, superb Chronciles of Narnia - The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

It has underperformed at the UK and USA box office. In the USA is took $ 50 000 000 at the weekend and in the UK £ 6 000 000 compared to $ 67 000 000 in the USA and £ 8 900 000 in the UK for Narnia the weekend before and Kong only just beat Narnia into 2nd place this week.

a) Did she consent?

Not directly, but she was giving him all the signals when she climbed into his hand. She looked well up for it after he'd battered that t-rex anyway - I don't think she'd have said 'no'.

b) How the hell is he supposed to get his massive ape cock up a woman the size of his toenail?

I didn't see any signs of a massive ape cock to be honest. In relative terms, I presume he must be hung like a small exotic moth.

Can't see Narnia being much more thrilling than Kong. There are some absolutely incredible stand-out action sequences that really had be clenching my arse and gripping the chair. They've really managed to portray the rage, power and violence of the big monkey supremely well - at times it felt like the whole cinema was SHAKING at the rafters (the sound mix is also excellent). Some particularly gruesome bugs and insects, and one scene with a stampede that has to be seen to be believed. Simply awesome.

The one thing I wasn't sure about though - how the hell they managed to get that ape on the boat ? He's f***ing HUGE, no way was their little steamer big enough. And even if he did squeeze one somehow, christ knows how they managed to lift him on. One minute he's zonked out on Skull Island, the next he's on Broadway. Bit of a cop-out that, I thought.

Try Mullholland Drive. She takes her clothes off in that one. A LOT.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Thought it was good bout nought special, this was prob due to the fact it was far far to long for its own good

Thanks for the tip. I'll keep an eye out on Sky Movies, and record it accordingly. I want to see her ladybumps.

King Kong was RUBBISH. Hideously disappointing. Narnia comes out on boxing day - is it out in the UK yet? If so, what's it like?

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

Stumpy

I did a thread last week devoted to Narnia. I will repeat

THE CHRONCILES OF NARNIA
THE LION THE WITCH AND THE WARDROBE

Is the greatest fantasy/adventure film ever made and knocks the Lord of the rings trilogy, The Star Wars trilogy and every other film of the genre into a cocked hat.

9.0 out of 10

RUBBISH ? Are you sure you didn't wander into the wrong auditorium ? If you are standing by that view, I'd be interested to know why you thought it was so disappointing. Personally, as remakes go, I can't see how it could have been much better.

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

Rubbish seems a little over the top. Its my sort of film and the action sequences with the big guy and the T Rex's have got me dribbling with excitement and anticipation.

Currently rates an 8.2 with imdb which is basically a very good rating.

 

[Easy 10]

That scene with the T-Rex's is sheer GENIUS, uncle. Its not just the flabbergasting effects, its the ingenuity of the battle as well, and a pretty nasty finish (but I don't want to spoil it). My eyes were out on STALKS.

Peter Jackson has now masterminded 4 of the greastest action-advantures of all time. As far as harnassing todays special effects and deploying them across the screen ALONGSIDE real character development, I think he's the best director since Spielberg for this genre.

9.0 out of 10

Its good, but its not even in the same league as Star Wars or The Lord Of The Rings.
