When I first saw the preview, I thought, "Cool Kong!". I loved watching the remake back in the 70's (I think or 80's). Well Peter Jackson did a great job. What I really loved about the movie was that Kong was a wild Animal. The really didn't humanize him anymore than Gorilla's really are. He movements, sounds, fantastic! Special effects rocked. And I HATE BUGS! So I hated parts of the movie The Trex scene was great. Now about the actors. Jack Black was great, he played a self centered producer/director who only saw life through the lens, regardless of the cost. I think Naomi Watts, did a good job conveying feeling for the Gorilla, not love, but compassion. She realized he was a victim, and only lived off of instinct.
4.5 outta 5. Go see it, it's a must on a big screen!
This was one of my favorite stories when I was a kid so seeing it come to the big screen was very exciting. I wasn't sure how things would turn out, how would Aslan be on the screen?
Well I have to say it was fantastic! I do believe it was given an incorrect rating, it should have been PG-13 not simply PG. There was a lot of violence and a bit of older content (i.e. sacrifice of Aslan). The picture was definately a beautiful piece of work, breath taking visually and stunning special effects. As a friend said, "It reminds me of LOTR with kids". I'm really interested to see if they do all stories from the Chronicles, but so far, I'm looking forward to the next in this fantastic story!
First 5 outta 5 I've given. Could be becuase it had everything I look for in a movie, a story I love, great visual effects, and a yearning for more.
We've been having constant issues with our internet connection the last couple of days. So we call Comcast and they give us the whole, "Unplug your modem and router" blah blah.
Well last couple of days it's worked great, but today no dice. Get Joe Support on the line (wife does cause I'm sick of stupid people), tells us to do our thing which we just did. Then he says, well its something wrong with your computer.
So yeah just this morning both of our computers decided to change a random setting to make it not work. WHAT EVER. "Go hire a network geek pay him $50 and supper to get him to fix it." Yeah sure... "Or replace your router and cables" Nice another $50 non-solution. I guess they only look inwards cause later we went to the internet health and did a few tracerts and found out AT&T was hiccuping something serious.
So I guess Comcasts support is about as helpful as my daughter. Simply restart... that's their solution, then blame the customer NICE!
The Trex scene was great. Now about the actors. Jack Black was great, he played a self centered producer/director who only saw life through the lens, regardless of the cost.
