EEVILMURRAY Posted December 16, 2005 Posted December 16, 2005 I'm sick of how they're whoring Peter Jackson's name for this, which as most people know I don't rate the Lord Of The Rings that highly. "Peter Jackson's King Kong" As if he wrote it as was the case for "William Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet" and "Mary Shelly's Frankenstein". Also on the game they have "The official game of the movie" as if some bootleg copy is going to come out and we won't know the difference.
Ramar Posted December 16, 2005 Posted December 16, 2005 Does it even beat LOTR & Star Wars! Not at all. Its not even on legendary status as Star Wars.
dabookerman Posted December 16, 2005 Posted December 16, 2005 Not at all. Its not even on legendary status as Star Wars. yeah but u cant compare 1 film to an entire saga...cmon now
Ramar Posted December 16, 2005 Posted December 16, 2005 yeah but u cant compare 1 film to an entire saga...cmon now Don't get me wrong King Kong is a great film. But its nowhere near the best ever, but then again we're arguing opinions here and theres no end to it. Personally I would rather watch any Star Wars film over King Kong. I think its one of those films that you won't be able to watch often.

I think its one of those films that you won't be able to watch often. well i wont argue, but for me, it isnt the best film ever, ill need to get it on dvd before i decide if its a film i could watch amost everyday. i guess the film misses the really cool quotes that lotr has. lotr i could watch all the time, seriously. but PJ really made kong enjoyable for me, altho i could see myself skipping to the skull island part tbh, where with lotr fotr, i could watch any part over and over again. you could say that king kong has more romance then padme and anakin ever did tho:P
Stocka Posted December 16, 2005 Posted December 16, 2005 King Kong isn't as epic as LOTR and Star Wars I agree, but its more emotional imo.
Ramar Posted December 16, 2005 Posted December 16, 2005 you could say that king kong has more romance then padme and anakin ever did tho:P The script and characters in Kong were a lot better than Star Wars, scripts never were George's strong point.
dabookerman Posted December 16, 2005 Posted December 16, 2005 The script and characters in Kong were a lot better than Star Wars, scripts never were George's strong point. and directing aswell, which is why the originals are the best i guess, due to proper directors, altho what lucas and jackson excel in is use of cgi
Stocka Posted December 16, 2005 Posted December 16, 2005 I've never seen something in a film look and behave so real yet not be. (King Kong)
dabookerman Posted December 16, 2005 Posted December 16, 2005 I've never seen something in a film look and behave so real yet not be. (King Kong) gollum jar ja.......ok but yeah gollum
Stocka Posted December 16, 2005 Posted December 16, 2005 Suppose, but Kong you seem to understand how he feels more. Incredibly done.
Meik Posted December 17, 2005 Posted December 17, 2005 I was less impressed than other members here, I dunno why. I think the lack of Dennis Hopper hurts it.
dabookerman Posted December 17, 2005 Posted December 17, 2005 I was less impressed than other members here, I dunno why. I think the lack of Dennis Hopper hurts it. well at least u aint complaining about the length
EEVILMURRAY Posted December 17, 2005 Posted December 17, 2005 well at least u aint complaining about the length How could we not? Hopper is hung like a whale.
