Watched it last night. Liked the fight scenes, but we'd need 4 hours
sitting around on a nice warm evening, drinking and smoking, to properly
rag over the rest of this.
To be fair, I think the CGI effects and the sound to the film was incredibly impressive
you really got the feel of these were enormous creatures that were as they moved huge amounts of water, and fought amongst crumbling skyscrapers
it really got the job done as far as being believable from a special effects angle
And I was thinking the storyline was going to be good, until....... The Syfy aspect starting to become very prominent and overpowering..... such as when Kong started falling down the giant hole to the center of the earth with a ship of heroes ship right behind him. I was wondering if they were going to run across Doug McClure and Peter Cushing down there
And at the beginning of the film after he woke up and scratched his butt, and threw the tree as a throwing a spear and it punctured his enclosed environment..... that reminded me of Jim Carrey in the Truman show
The part where his heart was stopping (the little girl somehow knew that) and when they parked the ship and set it to detonate on top of his heart, and that gave him a shock that restarted his heart........ that was reminiscent of Linda Hamilton in King Kong lives and the infamous heart transplant scene with the crane.
But to be honest...... I’m just having fun with this...... because I know so many did enjoy it
but to me it was incredible as far as effects go ......and an incredible let down as far as the kiddie childish storyline goes
But to each his own...... I’m glad it seems to be such a success
This was obviously not the king Kong from the original storyline. That believable King Kong character is sacred to me.....this superhero Kong is an entirely different animal. I never liked comicbook heroes, so it’s no wonder this film did not appeal to me
