King Kong ....

[Dreddz]

I want to see this somewhat.......

I'm curious to see how it turns out. Jackson claims to be a fan of the story from when he was little and he wanted to be true to the material. Whether that happens or not is another story.

I got a free ticket with the director's cut of "The Frighteners". I'll prolly see it either this or next weekend, but only cause it's free. While I'm interested, I'm not interested enough to drop 9 bucks to see it.

I heard it's decent and pretty faithful, but Jackson expanded the backstory which doubles the amount of time that it took to get to Kong in the original. Almost 40 minutes, from what I understand. It worked for Batman Begins, but there is no Bruce Wayne to this story. Sounds like it will prolly be boring for the first act of the movie.

Since I've been bombed with Trailers for it since the summer, I feel i've seen all the good bits of the film anyway so I think I'll pass on it. I was never a fan of the original and this re-vamp looks a bit like LOTR with extra Monkey.

Ok, you guys have NO idea how excited I am for this. Now, to get everyone else as excited as I am, here are some lovely reviews praising Jackson with what appears to be his next critical and box-office hit.

The movie seals Jackson's reputation: He's the most gifted big-picture artist working today, a master of epics from a human-eye view who excels at employing 21st-century technological wizardry to suit the needs of ageless, personal storytelling... But what resonates is the story, which is a very human tale of compassion, greed, loss, bravery, creativity, foolishness, and love. Something, as Carl Denham might have said, for everyone.

Peter Jackson's King Kong is the most thrilling, soulful monster picture ever made. At last, it can be said without irony -- I laughed, I cried.

It's the Return of the King all over again, and he's got a dazzling Queen. Almost too much of a good thing, Peter Jackson's remake of the film that made him want to make movies is a super-sized version of a yarn that was big to begin with, a stupendous adventure that maximizes, and sometimes oversells, its dazzling wares; but, no matter how spectacular the action, "King Kong" is never more captivating than when the giant ape and his blond captive are looking into each others' eyes... What's up on screen is rarely short of staggering.

Has there ever a big effects film as good as Peter Jackson’s King Kong? It appears to us now the way the 1933 version must have appeared to audiences: as something utterly breathtaking and new. Where Jackson goes with his, how he aimed higher and achieved more than the human imagination seems capable of with cinema as its mode of expression, is breathtaking. But it isn’t just a spectacle – like the mighty beast itself, Jackson’s film reveals a beating heart. Here is the true story of love and sex between males and females – nature in all of its grotesque beauty.

Yay Jackson!

It looks great, I can't wait to see it!

[Venom]

I might see it, I bet its funny cause Jack Black is in it

[Miriel]

I hear Black is the weakest link. But given that he was working alongside an Oscar nominated actress and an Oscar award winning actor, I don't find that to be much of a surprise.

Watts for Best Actress 2006.

[Yamaneko]

I hear Kong gives an Oscar-worthy performance.

[bipper]

Jack Black is never a weak link. I can't get enough of that guy

[Rusty]

I've never been interested in Kong. Even after I heard Jackson was doing it. I thought he was ruining his career. But I just saw Aeon Flux earlier this week and it had a trailer for Kong, and it actaully looked pretty darn good.

[kikimm]

I was never, ever interested in anything King Kong, because I thought it was silly, but when Jackson said he was going to make it, I decided I was going to see it. Only because it's him. I've only seen one trailer, but it looks absolutely amazing. I love Adrian Brody and Naomi Watts. Jack Black is okay too. ;D

[fantasyjunkie]

I'm excited about it
