King Kong (spoiler alert)
Before i discuss the main topic i just like to say WOW this film is amazing and i realy enjoyed it. you need to see this movie, yes its a bit long but its very enjoyable.
Anywas back to the point, i notice their is a scene missing from the film where naomi watts is sitting on a rock being filmed by that director guy. the director tells her to scream and when she does, you hear the Kong in the background. it looked as if they where in shores where the boat crashes..
This scene was infact included in the trailer and i noticed it wasnt included in the actual film..
King Kong movie - how can I be alone in thinking it's overrated?
Saw the King Kong movie on Saturday and was - how shall I put it? - severely unimpressed.
Okay, some of the special effects were clever but taken as a whole, the movie seemed to me to be a series of illogical jumps between special effects.
And that made a LONG film seem even longer to me.
Also, some of the effects were far better than others - a number of the NY street scenes, for instance, were pretty dodgy; likewise the planes circling the Empire State Building.
I also thought the way that KK is seen KO'd on the shores of Skull island and next appears on stage in NY was a major cop-out. And WHY did the hero nick that taxi in NY?
As for the heroine wearing just a thin dress and not feeling the cold in what clearly were arctic conditions in NY (especially up the top of the Empire State Building), well, really!
I'm not in any way attempting to compare this to the B&W original - which I haven't seen for years and don't remember warming to - but I was disappointed with the new version.
I'd been really looking forward to seeing it, having largely been impressed with how Peter Jackson spends his budget on big-budget movies, in particular how he managed to capture the flavour of LOTR and still thread a story line through each movie.
Bum!
