Yes

No!

Yes you did. The quote says so and quotes don't lie!!

Yes.

Although I wouldn't mind something more entertaining then Peter Jackson's.

NO

Peter Jackson's version is a terrific action/adventure fantasy. Excellent performance by Watts, amazing Kong effects, thrilling action sequences. Extremely entertaining epic.

Never needed remaking in the first place - the original is perfect.

It was good but come on!

I'd totally be down for a dark Kong movie.

"I'm gonna say maybe". (Tommy boy reference )

and if they got the right Godzilla in there too...I've been wishing for a remaking of that for years. It'd be so epically cool. Though how'd you make sense of that I don't know. Considering that Kong was much much to big as compared to the '33 Kong...though...it was Toho in the '60s.

I don't get you people who trash fantasy films. Of course certain things (actually MOST things) in movies are bogus, but for the time you're invested in the film, you are supposed to suspend disbelief. Like when you were a kid - you watched a monster movie, and there was not one shred of doubt that this could be reality.

Aside from the 1933 original, I think the remakes are lacking in "movie" realism. Like someone said, a dark version of the Kong story is definitely something that would be "new."

For all of Peter Jackson's amazing special effects, that film was way too campy for me. I bought the DVD because I did enjoy Kong himself, but the rest of it can really burn.

I didn't say yes either, lol.

Oh, so when you said "realism" you meant "movie realism", which by realism, you meant fantasy, which you then compare to reality.

It's all so clear now...

try a colonic...really flushes the system.

Ha! And a remake of JFK while they're at it (which will be a huge HBO mini-series - a ten-parter - that will be the polar opposite of that Oliver Stone one).

For "Shawshank," get Tom Hanks as "Andy," as it was originally going to be (Hanks couldn't commit due to "Forrest Gump").

But I digress........

We need a real KING KONG!! And actors that are terrified, as opposed to going through the motions as if they were, well.....acting.

Aside from your sarcasm, I guess you really enjoy movies (pardon the sarcasm).

I love movies. All kinds. But you see the point of my points...you aren't making alot of sense my friend.

Paulie Walnuts?! That you?

As far as 2005's King Kong is concerned, I expected certain things that weren't present in the film. Ann Darrow didn't have a scratch on her. And between the dinosaur stampede scene and the kid shooting bugs off of Driscoll without shooting Driscoll.......those things defy disbelief. It becomes a farce. When Kong is in Manhattan, the military is just shooting up the city, without giving a shit about the fact they're shooting up buildings with people in them. C'mon! You're telling me I should just accept this?! This is a monster movie. We, going into the theater, accept the fact that monsters exist in this film. But humans have to behave accordingly! It is called A MOVIE.

I don't want my King Kong movie to be a farce. I want something better. Something realistic to the story, however unrealistic the story may be.

I kinda agree on your other points but, obviously you were never in the Army. Have you ever seen a liberated city. Even more so back then. What is the mission, kill the monkey, if the city gets destroyed in the process thats someone elses problem.

I gotta see my ma.....

To me, it's just a movie. You enter that little world where reality gets skewed and you enjoy what's there (or you don't). I never worry about things like reality in movies, it's just not part of the world I'm in for 2 hours or so.

I think we need someone to do GODZILLA justice before we tackle KING KONG again.

The Japanese have done Godzilla justice numerous times. You might even say that Abrams did Godzilla a semblance of justice.

Abrams did Godzilla loads more justice than Emmerich and Devlin. My mouth waters at the thought of Abrams being allowed to remake Godzilla.

A real Kong would have eaten Darrow.. and the remaining people would have fled the island. End of movie until they send an A-Bomb.

Adolf Hitler would be proud.

King Kong was his favorite movie (per Trivial Pursuit).

Yes.
