I never saw the original, never wanted to either. This movie looks really, really dumb. I bet enough helicopters get blown up to get mindless people into the seats though. Peter Jackson will probably win awards for it etc.

aintitcool news is like the Gene Shalit of online film reviews. This was the same site that orgasmed all over Daredevil when it first came out

agreed - though i still check it religiously -- i just noticed the new yorker also didn't like King Kong - thought it was too pushy and overly dramatic

I honestly don't want to see this film! Yes, I'll probably see it when it comes out on video. But, it being 3 hours, I can see it easily being 2 and a half hours of people hearing sounds in the jungle, and then King Kong attacking mindlessly for 30 minutes straight. Even though Peter Jackson is behind the wheel, he has disappointed me on many ocassions (LOTR). So, I'll probably skip on this flick for awhile.

I just called my friend and he was at the theater waiting for it to start...the Friday after it opens and he said there were 10 people there besides him. Sounds exciting.

WOW - that's shocking.

of course, it will still make money - i remember reading an article about that awful godzilla film and it said that the godzilla remake ended up making a lot of money - though mostly overseas. . . ahh well, that's hollywood for you - enough hype and they make their cash (and could care less about the audiences)
