<p>did anyone else feel like they were watching Jurassic Park during basically every scene on Skull Island? I mean I expected the Ingen trucks to drive up next to the guys during the stampeding Brontasaurus scene. I think they could have left out all the non-Kong stuff on skull island, it wasnt necessary. (although, i must admit, the T-Rex tag team on Kong was AWESOME)</p>

<p>well first off…there were 3 t-rex’s, not just two:) and whoever said “they killed all the non-white people”…um, like half the crew from the ship got killed, and they were white. people in new york died, and they were white. moving on…</p>

<p>the bad…
it WAS really long. i thought the new york scenes were drawn out and boring. the car chase with KK and adrian brody…uhhh. i didn’t see the romantic flame between brody and whatsherface. and jimmy, the little mama’s boy, was annoying. the beginning with jack blacks boss’s and watt’s little theater people was way to long. it took forever to just get on the boat and leave to the island.</p>

<p>the good…
the special effects were great. i loved the action scenes, like the t rexs. the people were def creepy. the pole vaulting from rock to rock…wutdafu. special effects, did i alread say that?</p>

<p>—where did the native crackheads go?
—how DID they get king kong on the ship? were there some diamond enfored ropes and pulleys aboard?
—and how did jimmy manage to shoot with an AUTOMATIC so accurately without trying?
—and how come KK got sooo hurt by the bullets so quickly and didn’t seem to be too bothered by the multiple t-rex bites?
—and how did watts not get whiplash or break her neck from all the sudden jerks and movements during all the scenes when she was in KK’s hand.</p>

<p>it seems like i didn’t like the movie, but i actually did. i mean, it had its flaws and was long, but it WAS entertaining. it’s kind of how i felt after the mummy and van helsing…not the gratest movies, and def not emotionally captivating, but ENTERTAINING and fun to watch. KK was a step above in the special effects dept though.</p>

<p>KING KONG SUCKED MONKEY BALLS.</p>

<ol>
<li><p>3 hours? Jesus Christ.</p></li>
<li><p>I already know what happens, why would anyone want to see a movie where they know what happens? I though that tub of lard Peter Jackson would add something new, but not a creative bone in his fat body.</p></li>
<li><p>The girls wants to get it on with a 4000 pound ape? Cmon lady its not gonna work out.</p></li>
<li><p>I also cried when leaving the theatre, but for a much different reason.</p></li>
</ol>

<p>I just saw it last night, only because PJ is the man. :smiley: I really liked it. I was barely eating my candy I was so drawn to the action. And those natives scared the crap out of me. I thought I was going to pass out! :D</p>

25

<p>yea they did a great job on the native people… the makeup, acting was amazing. (the native people).</p>

26

<p>I wish I lived in NZ!!!:(</p>

27

<p>…really?.. it’s so boring here…</p>

28

<p>Well NZ is one of those romanticized places over here, especially since lord of the rings was shot there. Basically I’ve come to the conclusion that most of the world is boring if you live there, but exciting to visit. :)</p>

<p>I’m seeing king kong again this weekend…woot! :D</p>

29

<p>thoughtful concllusion!
seeing kk again? wow you must really like the movie… i seldom see a movie twice lol (unless we have it on dvd)</p>

30

<p>Yes, NZ is an exciting place to visit. It’s definitely worth the trip. I haven’t been there myself, but I have so much footage and photos from there because my dad went on a business trip, and the place is gorgeous. =)</p>

31

<p>If you ever do visit, south island >>>>> north island
I never really saw the beauty of nz until i went down south!</p>

32

<p>

</p>

<p>lol, I was half-joking on the matter. But, really, would it have killed them to have one of the three non-white people that wasn’t a “savage native” survive? :D</p>

33

<p>I didn’t like it.</p>

34

<p>I feel that i was in jurassic time and is a Gurilla suppose to be in the time of jurassic. Well i didn’t like the movie either.</p>

35

<p>Well it’s a joke among black people that the black man always dies, and it’s pretty much true. Now that Jimmy was so darned annoying. I thought I just needed to slap him! :D</p>

36

<p>That movie was STUPID.
First, it’s great how they kill all the minorities off immediatley.
They might as well have never hired them, unless film production now requires AA.
Then, the few minorities who aren’t killed, are portrayed as savages.</p>

<p>THEN - as if it could get worst, it’s drawn out, i mean kill the beast and move on with it already. And the “relationship” she supposedly had with the king king was way too superficial.</p>

<p>And it seemed as if they were trying to combine every single thriller movie into one, let’s see, there was Jurassic Park in it, then there was Eight Legged Freaks, a brief run in with The Last Storm, and I think someone borrowed the pygmies from Return of The Mummy And the big scary monster in New york, um… Godzilla? (american version). -rip off-</p>
