king kong

Just seen king kong.

Id give it 9 or 10 out of 10. There is a really long scene with a diploducus stampede, and a fight between kong and 3 t rex.

the dionosaurs made jurassic park look ordinary. I think most of the movie was cgi, and not for cgi sake.

there are scenes that wouldnt suit young kids - like when these giant swamp moggots with teeth bite peoples heads off, and the giant millipedes.

It was also a very sensitive film - the relationsip between he ape and the girl was done quite well.....

deffo a must see

Does he still knock the Spads out of the sky? It should be a brontosaurus stampede.

i remember the seeing the original as a kid ...not when first released i hasten to add (cheeky gits)
i watched it on a black and white portable and was amazed by it... even though it was about 1980,
i'd seen loads of good special effects films by that time.... but it enthralled me...was it the jungle drums or fay wray scantily clad...

not possible, as brotos never existed - it was a mistaken ID by archeologists....

One point my wife made, was why bother to capture a giant ape as a novelty, when the whole island was TEEMING with dinos of all descriptions!

Nice topic - going to see it between Xmas & New Year. Now I cant wait...

No, there is no intermission so take plenty of grub and maybe even a portaloo as you won't want to miss a bit of it.
TOP FILM.


benji106 - 25/12/05 at 03:09 PM

groping on the way home it is then


steve_gus - 26/12/05 at 08:17 PM

you must be ancient! im 46 and can barely remember the times when you had support movies and intermissions - still thats a huge selling opportunity missed - all those cokes and popcorns and hot dogs to be sold (when did you last see hot dogs in a cinema!)

Its 3hrs 28 mins straight thro....
