Default King Kong

Has anyone else been to see this piece of shit yet? Most disappointing cinema experience of my life. Peter Jackson has blown it big style, total cheese fest.

Yer some of it was pretty cheesy, but I actually really enjoyed it. Might have been a bit too long, but it was still pretty good.

Absolutely awful. I've never been more disappointed with a film. It was such utter balls, even the dinosaurs didn't make me happy. There was no way it needed to be so long, they could have cut that crap bit with the giant bugs (so unneccesary), shortened that ridiculous half hour Empire State building bit (by the way, people cannot stand on top of the Empire State building and not be blown off) and Naomi Watts was terrible too. TERRIBLE.

Poor Adrien Brody, what a tainted man he is now.

Kong sliding about on the ice definitely sealed it for me. The guy swinging on the vine was the other worst bit. But there were so many bad bits it's hard to choose....

Oh yeah those bits were awful. I also detested the blurry slow-mo fighting scene with the tribe of freaks. Clearly a massive hideous cover up for some pretty bad directing. Gash gash gash. My poor sister took me to see it (I don't work at the cinema anymore and refuse to pay) even though she'd already seen it. Bless her.

i enjoyed it apart from every scene being either 5 minutes too long or pointless.

What the fuck, King Kong was brilliant and is tied with Sin City for being my favourite film of the year. Peter Jackson is Jesus.

just back in from seeing it. really enjoyed it. the ice bit was a tad cheesy and i did think the same about getting blown off the top of the ES building, but i thought it was an enjoyable watch in all.

also, the dinosaurs were quality! the raptors didn't look as cool as those in JP, but the classic Kong vs Rex finale was great
