Man this looks awesome.

I like how it's set during the Vietnam era and its shot similar to Apocalypse Now'

Something different for this type of movie.

I didn't hate the Jack Black version. This looks better.

Shit. Is this the biggest Kong yet?

100 feet

Shared universe with Godzilla for a "vs" movie

Isn't this new Godzilla like 500 feet?

Supposed to go up against Godzilla in the next movie.

This looks awesome. Casting is great too.

Kong is a beast but Godzilla will wreck him

Well, I was close enough.

He's like three times the size of Kong with thick, reptilian skin, opposable thumbs, seemingly sentient intelligence and atomic breath.

Kong's going down.

Toho's is 387 feet

Whoever is playing John Goodman, looks pretty damn close. Except a little too skinny.

I kinda wish Samuel L. wasn't in it. I've reached the Jules Winnfield saturation point.

Perhaps next Kong movie.

The main characters for G2 have been known for a while now...

Yeah, I haven't paid any attention since the initial announcement. Actually forgot this was happening. Here is the original discussion thread...

He's been playing a variation of this for years now

I'm on my iPad so if someone could embed I'd appreciate it.

Looks cool enough. Nice cast and there appears to be a lot of action. I was a but thrown by the shift in tone, though.

I'm not sold yet, but it looks more intriguing than I initially thought.

THIS! TOTALLY THIS!

I may watch it even though he's in it.

This is set in the 70's and when they fight I think it's going be modern time so that gives KK time to have a growth spirt however shouldn't matter Godzilla can spank the monkey with his tail and then atomic blast him to a crispy critter.

I'm really impressed with the direction of the trailer. I won't see it in a theater but if there's enough good word, I'll likely pick it up on DVD.

Definitely a must see for me. Bring back the glory of weekend monster movie marathons!
:)

I think I've seen this somewhere before :hmmm:

Very intriguing!!

Looks great!! John C Reilly hamming it up. Love it!


So it looks like a complete reboot of the original Kong. Just a different era and a drop of the 3rd act

Sucks donkeys.

Looks great other than the "Skill crawlers" part.

Peter Jackson's King Kong is best King Kong.

Godzilla vs King Kong 2020

Godzilla should spank the monkey with his tail and then atom blast King Kong into oblivion.

The best part, to me, was KK vs. the two T Rex's.

Otherwise, it's a note for note version of the 1933 classic.

This looks to take on a different angle, which is awesome.

All this movie is for is to introduce the bigger badder version of a young Kong set in the 70s so that gives him time to mature and get bigger so he can fight Godzilla in 2020.

In this movie he will be merely 100' tall but I expect a growth spirt so he will be a sizable foe for Godzilla in 2020.

didn't read up on this, but is this a continuance from Jack Black's version?

Yes, but Jack Black looks an awful a lot like John Goodman in this one.

Godzilla is going fight KK in 2020 but I can't wait for him to fight King Ghidorah in 2022.

It'll be stupid if they have King Kong beat Godzilla much like Batman beating Superman totally unrealistic.

Official Japanese Poster:

"On this island, mankind is the weakest."

Although I'm more interested in Godzilla V King Ghidorah & or Mothra & or Rodan I'm looking forward to more monster movies. I think Kong is going to be good. I mean they resurrected John Goodman to be in it that should count for something right?

Looks like a garbage plot, cgi crapfest... the mummy franchise

That poster is dope

Sam Jackson is in everything lately.

I took some random video around town the other day... and he was even in those shots.

He pops up everywhere.

They've got a great cast set up for this. It's a shame I have zero interest in seeing it.

And this is why I have no interest in this movie. Can't stand that guy. He thinks he's 'all that'. And why is he always yelling at me?

Jesus, this looks ridiculous reeruned.....

I'll be waiting for Brazzers to come out with "Dong: Skull**** Island".

True. But it looks like a lot of fun. I'm most definitely in.

Looks like fun to me.

The last bit with Kong using the tree as a baseball bat got my jimmies rustled.

Looking forward to this hope it's good

Yep. Definitely in. Not there for the plot.

I can't wait to see this movie. Hoping for IMAX 3D

Hoping for the best
Preparing for the worst

yes Samuel L just annoys the hell outta me. Tarzan was bad enough....he made it much much worse.
best scene he's ever been in was the smart shark movie...umm....deep blue sea....when he goes into his typical "yelling at everybody" scene...."we are gonna join together and we are gonna" CHOMP!!!! a shark eats him! I was like YES! YES! YEEEESSSSSS!!!

having said that...I still gotta see it. it's KONG man! he kicks ass!

I just hope that for once they write it so he doesn't die....I hate that part. :(

Here's hoping Bree Larson reprises her role from Skull Island...

First reviews on Tomatometer. 80% after 35 reviews. I'm in.

https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/kong_skull_island

I hate that they're forcing this "Zilla vs. Gorilla'" universe.

The early leaks are that Skull island will be the new "monster island" and there will be a tie in to the next Godzilla film.

None of this sounds like it will end well...

Why not?

Godzilla (2014) was well-received and early reviews indicate Kong is pretty good.

82℅ on 39 RT reviews

It's impossible to make a Godzilla v Kong battle even remotely close, without seriously underpowering Godzilla

I haven't seen the movie yet but some extremely small spoiler shit in tags:

They aren't the same thing.

It's like having a Flash Gordon and Indiana Jones shared universe. Could it happen?

Sure.

But, why?...

Godzilla v. Kong was done back in the 60's. They powered Kong up by having electricity revitalize him after Godzilla had kicked his ass. I believe it is still the #1 ticket selling Godzilla movie of all time, in Japan, although my memory of that could be wrong.

Toho wanted to both make a sequel and build a franchise around Kong (as they did with Godzilla) but, apparently, RKO choose not to let them.

Kong is going to grow bigger for King Kong vs Godzilla, snd wait for the end credits for a final scene

Worth seeing in theatre?

Yes,way more action than Godzilla (2014)

Excellent

I truly enjoyed it


It was like Apocalypse Now combined with a giant monster movie. A mashup we have not seen before. Very well made and I enjoyed the 1970s touches like the styles, music and old tech

Fun stuff. Better than it had any right to be

Agreed. Lots of action with no slow parts to speak of. A tad of comedy infused at times.

I hope they pull John C Reilly in on some of the future movies. He makes good comic relief and he actually played the scenes where he had to be serious very well.

Saw this last night and really enjoyed it.

Stay for the credits- they set up the upcoming rumble with Godzilla.

Should be epic.

I don't think Kong has a chance- but we will find out who is the real King of Monsters.

Finally saw Kong tonight; good, bordering on great movie. It was a fun movie. But a few items...

Cons -
The heavy hand "hubris of man" that was pounded into the viewer got old
Too many red shirts, you could pick who was going to die and who was going to live

But lots of good...

Pros -
Well acted on all parts.
Good pace, lots of action, cut to the chase
They didn't shoehorn a...


And the end credit scene basically turned me into a 10 year old again. I damn near jumped out of my seat at the end.

I thought it was entertaining but kind of boring, despite all the action, and the humor missed me throughout the movie.

I'm excited for the showdown with Godzilla and all the other megaspecies though.

the two of you need to fight to the death :D

My son was dying to see this so i took him this weekend and we watched it in 3D. I went into the movie with high expectations and this movie exceeded my expectations. Great cast, great action sequences and the CGI was masterful.

The scene after the credits didn't hint anything towards that at all.

They've already announced Godzilla vs Kong. Supposed to be a 2020 release.

It isn't like it was mentioned twenty times in this thread... lol

Right, but the after credits isn't really forshadowing KvG is what I'm saying (based on the monsters shown). I hope to god they dont mash them all in the same film.
