It will end at number 5 which is pretty good for it. Potter, Narnia and Kong will fight for the 2-4 spots.

King Kong is a big disappointment in its first two days of release.

 

[Sava]

i just dont get it, everyone who's seen it loves it

 

[Super_Ludacris]

People are gonna watch it, relax. Jesus not everyone rushes out to watches a flick first two days of releases some time. Besides people do other things in the holidays than hit the cineplex but they will watch it. I saw it last night, not bad at all btw.

 

[Sava]

what would you rate it out of 10?

 

[Super_Ludacris]

Like maybe 8/10

 

[Sava]

thats cool

 

[Super_Ludacris]

Like I can see how the movie was made quickly (IMO) there's a lot of CGI/Blue Screen but Jackson's direction is really good. Particularly the scenes on the Island and in the Jungle

 

[Sava]

does the ending make you cry?

 

[Super_Ludacris]

Not really. It might for others. Only thing that annoyed me was that in the Screen I was watching there were some families who had like 6, 7 or 8 year olds talking in front and behind are row. Like at one point during what was meant to be this intense scene when there at Island, this 6 year old jumps up and screams "I don't like it". And these other kids were sarcastically clapping when Kong dies at the end.

 

[Sava]

thats why i'm going to wait to see this movie

 

[Super_Ludacris]

It's like the end of 2005 and there's a back log of flicks I need to see before the year ends that came out

 

[Galactus]

I saw King Kong today (and was alone in the theatre, by the way) and thought it was okay, nothing more. Visually spectacular, yes, but three hours was a little bit too long. Some people says three hours makes more room for character development bla, bla, bla. Well, I didn't see much character development. Some character establishment in the beginning, but not much development later; once on the island it was a typical monster movie with a lot of running and screaming and not much else. Some of the action was cool, especially Kong's fight with the T-rexes, but for some reason I found other stuff a little silly; the fight with all those big insects gave me vibes of watching a b-movie. But overall there were more I liked than disliked and I would give it 3 out of 5
