KING KONG

Guy’s Review...

I have to say that I was one of those people that gave this movie a bunch of shit when it came out. I guess most people expected way too much after the LOTR trilogy. Then they got this which is similar but way off from what he did with Tolkien’s books.

We sat down and watched the extended edition in HD. I barely remembered any off the movie, just some scenes like the end and the fight with the T-rexes. While watching this time around I found myself feeling very entertained. I loved the freaky insect pit, the dinosaurs, the weird river creatures (new in this edition) and Kong’s manhandling of poor Naomi Watts. I mean he throws her around like a rag doll. Every bone in her body should have shattered and broken.

Peter Jackson know how to make a entertaining movie that’s for sure. He filled this one with action and even the dramatic scenes all tough cheesy are fun to watch.

Guy’s Rating: Give it another chance, come on.

Girl’s review...

I think I was one of the few people that enjoyed this movie the first time I saw it in theaters. I remember that my date shook his head and rolled his eyes when he saw I was tearing up when King Kong died. It was just so sad! You all can shove it, I don’t care.

Despite the cheesy one-liners (Jack Black killed the movie at the end when he said that stupid “It was Beauty that killed the Beast”) and poor acting (some of the crew members were slapstick and unnecessary), I think that Watts and Brody pull off some great chemistry amongst the others’ debauchery. When Brody says “Isn’t it obvious?”... Sigh. I love that line. It was different and touching. The shinning good moment of the movie.

Girl’s Rating: If you are one of the haters, then you are no friend of mine.
