So this is what, King Kong the 4th? 5th? Kind of losing track.

I would ballpark it over 10, depending whether you count some of the spin-offs like Kong v Mothra.DallasDMac said:

Anyone remember the turtle that turned into a space ship or something?
Gamera. Gamera totally ruled.

Kong seems bigger than normal, no?

The guys at MST3K also loved Gamera.
Plus the guys from Riff-Trax (spinoff of MST3K) will be riffing on Mothra in August

I really really really want this to be good.

I'm actually going into this with low expectations... Like Jurassic World, Suicide Squad level expectations and hoping to be surprised. Just looking forward to seeing Kong fck sht up.

Have tickets for Friday night. Wife and kid going as well. We love Kong.
This will be a rip roaring good time. As long as SLJ does not become the focal point of the movie like he did in The Legend Of Tarzan (which was a really cool movie and not really talked about) we should be good.

OMG. Legend of Tarzan was AWFUL. Now I have to discount any review you give Kong. That makes me sad. :(Todem said:

This has to be the most excited I have been for a year of movies ever. So far John Wick 2 was amazing, Rings sucked but I can't wait to see Kong. I just want a mindless popcorn flick that doesn't need to push a message. Give me a big monkey killing other big monsters and I am happy

He sure is
I think the UML (United Monster League) might be wanting him to pee into a cup...or a water tower

I can't wait, but my wife and two kids sure can. They were pestering me for something to do for my birthday last week and I finally told them that if they loved me, they would take me to see King Kong when it came out. Lots of
. Turns out my daughter is the only one who loves me as she said she'd go with me this weekend. I'm okay with making him bigger this time around. Really, I'm just glad they went away from Peter Jackson's super realistic giant gorilla approach. That's Mighty Joe Young's territory, as cool as he was. King Kong should be a monster.

Good to hear.Crazy very fun action packed movie with tons of Easter eggs. Sam Jackson was actually really good. Really good in IMAX 3D.
I'm trying not to read or hear too much before seeing it, but please tell me King Kong had much more screen time than Godzilla did in that recent movie.
I might be crushed if he only shows up for less than 10 minutes of the movie.

I did too even though they got lazy and took the monsters from Cloverfield as his nemesis. Godzilla should have killed those things in no time. Now big Kong--that's a worthy opponent.
Can't wait to see this movie.

And they are supposedly making a movie before Godzilla vs Kong where Godzilla fights Mothra, Rodan AND King GhidoraI did too even though they got lazy and took the monsters from Cloverfield as his nemesis. Godzilla should have killed those things in no time. Now big Kong--that's a worthy opponent.
Can't wait to see this movie.

I liked it too, but Kong requires more screen time IMO. At least he does if he still has some personality to convey, which I guess is another thing I wonder about this movie, but will wait to see it to find out.

I can't even tell you how much I loved Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Monster and Destroy All Monsters when I was little.

Why do the helicopter pilots fly so close to him? Seems like poor judgment.

The director, Jordan Roberts, is young but a huge movie and video game nerd and totally pays homage to the asian influences of the kaiju monster genre. He and Jason Mitchell did a Q&A after the screening last night. Very cool to hear the stories about filming on location.
There is A LOT of Kong in this movie, no worries about only getting glimpses of him.

Stay until after the credits for a bonus scene.

This was a concern of mine as well, but I think he nails his part in Kong. If you liked his other movies, you'll get a kick out of a lot of his scenes/line in this movie.Todem said:
SLJ's character goes into a sort of Heart of Darkness tailspin. And maybe not so coincidentally... Tom Hiddleston's character is named Conrad, and John C Reilly's character is named Marlow... Hmmm

Don't think it was any worse than Jurassic World. I don't know if I would take a child younger than 10 but it wasn't extremely gory or anything.

LOL I always pull for Kong.I got mad at the bi-planes the first time I saw King Kong.

Could have probably cut out the dear Billy character all together, a weak excuse for Jackson to do his thing. I did enjoy that they kept upping the suspension of disbelief required. The humans out sprinting building sized animals was the best; "BRIE, Climb the mountain, you're clearly the least suited for the task, but we need you to fall off it later!"

As the antagonist his job in this movie is to "Piss you off" and in that regards he nails it.
Thought it was well done. LOVED that, unlike Godzilla ( Which I liked) we didn't have to wait long to see Kong.. Enjoyable Summer
flick in March, can't ask for more.

A really great monster movie. Lot’s of little nods and easter eggs, and it set’s up the next few Godzilla, and Kong movies. Make sure you stay through the entire credits if you're a big fan of monster movies.
John C Reily was hilarious.
Lot’s of great action and set pieces.

I really enjoyed this one. It had enough nods to the original (and remakes) without being the exact same story again.
Yeah, a few of the characters were a bit cliche, but none of them annoyed me too much to take away from my enjoyment of the movie.
Most importantly, they treated Kong right. He's still badass and cool as hell.
