MJ's recent press is good publicity. People say "It's a shame, his old stuff was so good". Then they go out and buy the new Hits album he has out.

I had that attitude, then I was forced to go and see it yesterday with some girl and I grumpily agreed. I was actually pleasantly suprised. They graphics are incredible when the dinosaurs are fighting with Kong, the acting (from Jack Black especially) is suprisingly good, the plot well developed and it all works pretty well. The 3 hours felt like 2.
Just a few problems I had with it:
*How did they get a 25 foot gorrilla onto their small ship to bring him back? Peter Jackson conveniently didn't try to explain this.
*How did this island remain undiscovered for so long, yet jack Black's character had a map leading straight to it. Where did he get it from? Peter Jackson conveniently didn't try to explain this.
*Why do those bat creatures gang up and choose to attack Kong precisely the minute that the girl & guy are escaping from his lair and so putting him off. They've been there for decades presumably, why that second fight a battle they know they'll lose? Peter Jackson conveniently didn't try to explain this.
*Why is there a huge Gorrilla on an island populated by dinosaurs? Anachronistic or what? Where is his mate? How did he come to be? Peter Jackson conveniently didn't try to explain this.
I give it a resounding 5/10

Youre right, jackson didnt explain any of that, and neither did the writers of the original king kong in 1933. Perhaps, fantasy film remakes isnt your genre.
*How did they get all these events on tape? Peter Jackson conveniently didn't try to explain this.
*where was all that music comming from? Peter Jackson conveniently didn't try to explain this.

Gaps? Like lame scientific explanations to support the fantastical elements of the film's premise, in order to satisfy a whining fix for the amateur movie critic?
Like the film? Im not stupid enough to see that movie!

Saw it and its missing that essential movie magic that all the great adventure yarns have.....
Films like "Raiders of the lost ark", "alien", "big trouble in little china", "back to the future", "jaws", "dark star", "logans run" etc.
Amazing special effects don't cut the mustard when part iof a film that has such shit dialogue, crappy acting, unsympathetic characters, woefull music, crappy pace, cul de sac sub-plots and all the holes noted above.
Seems you can polish a turd.

or shall we argue PCs against Mac . . . or guitars against synths.... hmm......
was bill hicks any good... all i hear is assholes reciting his routines in my office... boring me shitless....
they claim he was so many things like "intelligent", "offensive", "funny", "dead" and many others...... but hey never say he was "kind" or a good man....
hmm anti heros are still popular then.... hmmmm is jesus an anti hero.... or only for the jewish and is peter jackson an anti-anti-hero now he is popular. . .

3 hours? What the fuck else would u be doing that is so interesting? You should be grateful for the value for money these days. Oh and seeing as he spent about 2 years on this maybe you could just sit on your arse for 3 hours.
Fuckin hell, some people. Oh well seems he wasted about $50million of his own money trying to please as well.

So he didn't write the film, he's the Director
if a football team plays shit all season, it's the manager who gets the sack. His players may be the ones making the mistakes where it counts but he has to take responsability in the same way that PJ has to take responsability for the major problems in his film.

i saw the film. and i didnt think it was that bad. sure it wasnt great. but some of it was kinda enjoyable (considering it was a movie about a big monkey.)
and yeah, it didnt explain why it had big monkey and living dinosaur (and other oversized animals,) but like, the original had dinosaurs as well. so meh

It's just some nicely crafted entertainment, not Wildlife on One. There are plot holes, so fucking what? It's just a nice bit of escapism. Are you pissed off with Terminator 2 because there wasn't a nuclear war in 1997?

I thought it was a great piece of escapist entertainment. And if that sounds patronising, tuff shit.
The special effects were mind-blowing and had me screaming with glee for the first time since I was about 9.
