The New King Kong
« on: May 03, 2017, 01:31:31 AM »
Anyone seen the New King Kong movie with Samuel Jackson? I've seen no reviews in this forum. Excuse me if I missed something..

Yeah I've seen it. Enjoyed it a lot. It's a nice ride.

I saw it too. I thought it was really pretty good. It's not the traditional Kong story and it's one of those "don't need to think too much" types, obviously.

No, it's called Kong: Skull Island. Way cooler then King Kong.

alright action as well but for me at least it was an atrocious waste of a ton of acting talent. I mean it's a King Kong movie so I know the 'story' isn't something that Shakespeare was supposed to write but for me I thought the movie was just 'blah'

But...I took my two oldest kiddos and they LOVED it so...it is what it is.

This is a helluva bump, but it was the only thread I could find 'dedicated' to the franchise, and since this is technically the same universe....

Oh my god this looks so bad.  Like worse than Godzilla v Kong.

I have a soft spot for these cheesy King Kong and Godzilla movies. I've enjoyed them all for different reasons. I do need to check out that Toho Godzilla movie that just came out.

If you've seen any of the old Asian films Godzilla not only runs, he dances and fights using drop kicks  ;D

Godzilla and Kong running from explosions may be the silliest official godzilla clip I've seen in years.......I am so excited.

I love the goofy godzilla films just as much as the serious ones and I'm happy that this one looks like it's going full Showa era.

Thus far, I have enjoyed all these "recent" western Godzilla/Kong releases. Surprisingly solid/consistent, though Kong 2017 to me is the best with a wide margin.

This weekend I will be seeing minus one. It is apparently very good. I would like to get into non-gc Japanese Godzilla, but the suits and fights just look incredibly bad to me.
