Re: Kong: Skull Island

All the creatures look pretty cool. I'm excited. Seems like a very light hearted romp though. But I like John C Reily so it's cool

Seeing John C Reily show up was cool.

I wonder what the final act of the movie will be - I can't see them going to New York.

Yeah, personally I really hope they don't go. I don't think they will because if I remember, when they first announced it, they made it clear this was about the island and not the traditional Kong story.

Plus this Kong needs to stay alive so he can fight Godzilla

That chest pound at the end is faaaaaaantastic. I really like the look of Kong in this. It reminds me a lot of the original stop motion puppet.

Yeah, this one is just a stepping stone to set up the match against Godzilla.
I would certainly hope that this movie does well because I want the versus movie to kick ass.

Re: Kong: Skull Island

It reminds me so much of a film I'd swear is only about 5 years old, I think it was called King Kong, the guy who did the Lord of the Rings films made it.

There are an alarming number of Marvel people in this aren't there

Loki
Nick Fury
future Captain Marvel
Whatever John C Reilleys Guardians of the Galaxy character is

Re: Kong: Skull Island

I really dig John C. Reilly kind of channeling Dennis Hopper in Apocalypse Now. The whole movie looks awesome, really. Dig the '70s setting, dig the cast, and Kong, himself, looks fantastic; I'm excited to see this. It should be pretty cool seeing him go toe to toe with Godzilla, too.

Where the hell does he hide?
They made him twice as tall as the tallest mountain in this shot.

Except that Gorilla looked way better, like a real Gorilla with a large head. This new Kong looks like a hairy Schlitzie.

I remember them saying they wanted to keep Kong to a more relatable* size or something to that effect, suggesting that if he were too big it would be more difficult to believe anyone could develop a connection with him or he with them. I guess that went out the window this time when they want to set him up against Godzilla.

*why the **** am I getting a spellcheck notice for 'relatable'? Since when is that not a real word?

I'm surprised the Marvel section hasn't found this thread yet.

Yeah I think that was before the merger and the shared universe.

Everyone is tired of waiting for Thanos so they went for Kong

Re: Kong: Skull Island

Kind of puts the kibosh on that whole Empire State Building Thing when you're just as big. Kong just jumps up and locks his legs around it like it's a stripper pole and the whole building cracks in half.

Didn't watch the new trailer.
Teaser trailer was cool and that's all I needed.

King Kong: "you have to save Mothra!"
Godzilla: "why did you say that name!!!!?"

This one has John C Reilly being a funny man in it - you'll love it.
