Home Films/DVD Asylum

Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

My take on your opinions

The Good...
1. Well developed relationship between Kong and Anne Darrow...(some people in the audience openly wept at the ending)

Response: There were some good moments. But to me it looked like Jackson took the Kong/Ann relationship from the 1976 film vs the relationship from the original.

2. Some BEAUTIFUL scenic shots...especially the ending with Kong on the Empire State Building...

Response: Agreed

3. Naomi Watts (the poor-man's Nicole Kidman)

Response: I thought Naomi was great as Ann

4. LOVED the overall look of the film!!!

Response: I thought most of the CGI was much too bright (white crush). I wonder how that is going to look on DVD?

5. Some great CGI scenes....especially the boat landing on Skull Island.

Response: Yeah the boat scene was good. But overall the CGI effects (dinosurs) were a big disappointment.

The Bad
1. Jack Black...he can play mediocre comedy...but was entirely miscast in this role!

Response: Totally agree.

2. Someone explain to me who decided that Adrian Brody is a Leading man!!! Please... this guy has all the sexuality of a wet-noodle!

Response: I thought he was OK. Although I didn't like that Jackson changed the story line and make him a writer.

3. Can you say CGI....the dinosaur stampede and bug scenes were meaningless and didn't add depth to the story line other than 15-20 minutes of at best mediocre special effects!

Response: Agreed

4. Where did they dig up those natives!!!! THEY were scarier than Kong!!!!

Response: I thought the native scenes sucked. How about how they kidnapped Ann? Give me a break.

5. And finally...HEY Peter Jackson!!!! Can you tell a story in less than 3 hrs??? I didn't think so.....

Response: Not only that, but he took a great story and screwed it up with all his embellishments.
