Can somebody explain how this is an "origin" story for King Kong? It basically looks like any other King Kong movies minus NY mayhem.

The movie looks good though.. Good cinematography too

Because the plot is new, this is not another "Kong wants some chick and a guy wants to catch him" we've seen in the previous movies.

Some things are harder to do with CGI and few people actually understand that.

 

 

 

Land it drives me a little nuts.  Hey, this movie has great CG cause...they didn't try anything special!  But it looks real!

 

Come on, innovation takes work, and sometimes failure.  Let's not slight people for going for broke to break new ground.  And in KK...they went for broke, and a lot of it is spectacular.  

 

Seriously...BB?  Tele...I am disapoint.

The biggest failure of the stampede scene in Kong was the composting : bad lighting, scales were all wrong etc, it was jarring.

The rest of the movie was spectacular for its time an dit s still holds up IMO.

 

It s crazy to think that movies with real animals are amost a thing of the past in Hollywood.

 

I would be curious to ask people coming out of Tarzan if they think they saw real animals in that movie because there were almost none.

This could be the best Kong flick ever but will audiences be keen on revisiting Kong? We shall see. I know it's been over a decade since the last one but it doesn't seem that long.

Speak for yourself. Seems like an eternity ago to me.

 

I think this new movie looks pretty cool, and audiences will be able to appreciate it as a new version of the film icon.

[Jack Nevada]

This looks good as hell.

Mmh, 100 Feet, I wonder how does this translate, Genitalia wise ...

I'm not particularly angling for any side here, but I think SWIII, NARNIA, HP, WOTW, and even stuff like CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY or BB have claim to the top 5.

 

SW - looked like a video game

BB - CGI Gotham really didn't look real at all 

WOTW - had some shoddy cgi, especially the chase and dark scenes 

CATCF i haven't seen so can't judge 

HARRY POTTER - just lol, they've always been a step down from competition 

 

NARNIA is the only film I'd consider, it was nicely rendered.

Agree, We're talking strictly CGI, Kong is actually almost a step down. Even a film like Jurassic Park III holds up better. Kong outside of the motion capture looks pretty meh. Kong is beautiful, the rest is pretty uneven.

 

However to say something looks fake is subjective.  Kong battling dinosaurs is fake no matter what.  My list would be:

 

Goblet of Fire

Sin City

Narnia

War of the Worlds

Sith (This is very dated in spots too, but its original so I'll take it over dinosaurs worst than 13 years earlier)

 

The Dinosaur fight still looks good today, watched it a few weeks ago. Jurassic Park most certainly doesn't hold up as well, you are wrong there too

I can't buy the oversize of this Kong. IMHO, this trailer is similar to the trailer for Godzilla. Looks cool, barely shows anything, barely any emotional impact, oversized monster

KONG 2005 < KONG 2017  < LIAM NEESON

I don't know why you people are complaining about the size of him when I'm here thinking he needs to be alot bigger from the perspective of course of having to eventually fight Godzilla.

Nah man, I like the idea of a massive kaiju battle where one monster is the small underdog monster.

[NoobSaibot]

^A lot of people wouldn't take the idea seriously if Kong was dwarfed by Godzilla.

 

By the way, the movie's official website is now up. There isn't much on it right now, though.

If it can just be the middle third of Jackson's King Kong then I'm in. And by 'in' I mean I'll download it in a few months.

To each their own.  IMO Kong holds up, but it looks as fake as it did back in 05.  It was a choice, it's hard mapping an entire screen vs. one element.

Henry Jackman (Monsters vs. Aliens, Uncharted 4: A Thief's End, Captain America: The Winter Soldier) will score Kong: Skull Island.

RIP this movie's score.

I personally don't mind the over-sized King Kong. I think the trailer looks good. I am curious if this can make more than the 2005 King Kong. 

 

King Kong 2005- 50.1 million/218.1 million but if inflated it made 67.7 million/292.5 million
