Some amazing shots, but ultimately still not better than the Peter Jackson version. Some effects are very obvious CGI and Blue Screen, similar to a 60's movie of this genre. Samuel L Jackson's character completely ruins the movie. It is just not believable that anyone would act the way he does given the circumstances they find themselves in. Even worse is that the party actually obeys! For what reason would scientists obey a government official if they have nothing to gain by doing so? The beautiful 'love' story between a giant ape and human King Kong is known for, has for some reason been excluded from this version. The King Kong magic is gone. Maybe, hopefully, this will materialize in a sequel...I just don't know if I'd be interested in seeing a sequel...
If I had to see Samuel's face any more, I'd punch my TV screen. I love this guy but this movie was just so awful. Why do actors agree to something BEFORE seeing a script? If anyone had read an actual script I doubt this would have seen the light of day. Please, please don't waste your money or your time, anywhere.
The first Kong movie I've seen. Honestly I think this was a great tribute to the monster movie genre. Everything was done well and it looked nice. I still don't remember any of the characters names, and that's my biggest gripe, but to be expected in a kaiju type film. The fighting was cool, and ultimately I liked it better than the 2014 Godzilla remake. Also Jordan is a fantastic director.
Don't get me wrong, I liked the story and I liked the actors and I liked the island, however the biggest problem with this version of King Kong is the monkey himself. The CGI gorilla didn't act, or walk or eat like a real gorilla. Gorilla's walk on all-fours, and they are vegetarians. The gorilla in this movie walked up-right the entire movie, he basically walked like a man! Also, in one scene the Gorilla kills and eats a giant octopus? What! Gorilla's are vegetarians. Had they used the same "gorilla" from the 2005 version, it would have made a better movie, more realistic, not that giant gorilla's are realistic, but I was thoroughly disappointed by the gorilla who walked like a man and ate sea-food!
