    Here are my first impressions:

     

    That was a ton of fun. Very enjoyable. Insane visuals. The landscape they used is just amazing. The cinematography is just great as well. The action itself is very easy to follow, and unlike cough cough Godzilla, you actually see the monsters (a lot more than I thought). Really liked the use of color.

     

    How's the pacing? Perfect amount for an action movie. Never had 2 hours fly by so quickly. The fights lets just say escalated as each one happened. Kong himself was marvelous to see on big screen and is never overused or hidden. 

     

    Human characters themselves? Hiddleston and Larson was good. Jackson was okay I guess, not really impressed by his character. Reilly was great. The movie has humor and one-liners to sort of relieve the tension after brutal fights. 

     

    And yes, stay for post-credits scene. I honestly had no idea there was one till my friend was like "STAY IN YOUR SEAT" to me.

    Probably one of my favorite giant monster movies if not the favorite. Highly recommend seeing this if you're a fan of the genre. Certainly an awesome way to kill time. I will definitely see this again as soon as possible.

    Disclaimer. I'm biased and I love giant monster movies.

    Great to hear! Without spoilers, was the story decent?

    Seeing this later today. :excited::OMG::OMG::OMG:

     

    You guys have no idea how hyped I am. I love giant monster movies. Must have seen the old Kong movie from the 30s dozens of times and also watched way too much Godzilla vs King Kong as a kid. Not a really a fan of the Jackson movie, but I liked some moments in it. 

     

    I've even managed to avoid most of the marketing and trailers or TV spots

    Have fun! Let us know your thoughts afterwards if you can :D

    That's a move I didn't see coming. I'm hoping that it's great and gets more people on board.

     

    I just hope that they don't go overboard and show too much. We have already seen so much of the film from trailers and TV spots- hell even the FOUR clips they released. I don't know if I want to even watch it, but it's good business for them to do this.

    I didn't say anything about quality. But the movie must not be tracking well, hence the abundance of FREE screenings

    But if the movie is good, and the screenings get good word out about the film that is obviously going to increase the amount of seats filled come release. If the movie is bad, and WB know it, they wouldn't have so many screenings and just wait until release to maximize the amount of butts in seats before people realize it's bad.

    I have to agree with Gokira here. WB are desperate. People are not excited about the movie.  WB are trying to drum up interest

    Yeah they probably are worried- that's why they are showing it to so many people. They think it's a good movie and want people to know that, hence the screenings. If they were worried about the quality of the film and about the awareness of it I don't think we'd see any screenings at all.

    It Comes at Night | June 9, 2017 | A24 | Teaser in First Post

    Now that is how a teaser trailer should be. It's incredibly tense, it gives you an idea of the premise but gives nothing away about the plot and the characters. All we know is that they are in a bad situation and that something odd is going on. Also no stupid jump scares is always a plus. Perfect trailer. 

    It looks very good and A24 has been putting out some very good films as of late so i'm very excited for this one!

    Do you miss Harry Potter?

    I watch the films right through (1-8) probably three or four times a year, so I guess I miss it, but i'm glad with the material that I can re-watch. I wouldn't want anymore.

     

    Those books and movies were my childhood, I would give anything to erase my memory of them and relive that experience just as I did when I was a kid, then grow to appreciate them more as I do now that I have grown up.
