Completely different. This is set in the same universe as Godzilla. There's a Godzilla vs Kong on the books for 2020, after Godzilla 2.

Oh I see, not what to think about, really like the last one

It's booking now, release in two weeks on 10th March at Cineworld.

These monster blockbuster movies are the only things that make me go to the cinema. Looking forward to Skull Island! I've seen the 2005 movie with Jack Black several times, love it. I hope there's a scene like this which shows very realistic and subtle details such as the way the gorilla looks away when it's laughing or satisfied.

I have heard that Cineworld may been using low/eco mode for projection to extend lamp life span and save money. Resulting in a darker picture.

I don't know if this is widespread across the group or just selected screenings. Not been in one myself for some time.

Final trailer. :eek:

Wonder why they chose to base it in the 70's. :confused:

As i thought though, seems to have the usual Helicopter battles that inexplicably have to get within tea-bagging range to hit a 300 foot target. :rolleyes:

i'm always wary of a film with John Reilly in it just to add some comedy element when its not needed. it worked in guardians of the galaxy because it had that feel to the film.

saw this last night...

something lacking. didnt get any emotion from it

6/10 at best

Looks ridiculous tbh. But I'll give it a watch, mainly as I visited some of Vietnam where bits where filmed.

If they kept Kong at around the 50' mark then it wouldn't be fair on Godzilla, he'd have to all the heavy lifting when they team up.

LoL - almost like tag team wrestling!

Loved the 2005 film, and am hoping this rekindles that. May just go and see it on the weekend!

King4aDay · 10 Mar 2017 at 12:34

Looks dreadful.

Efour · 10 Mar 2017 at 13:11

Going to see this tonight.
No interest in it tbh. Godzilla was so terrible.
At least it looks comedic and set in the Vietnam war.

Scotteh · 10 Mar 2017 at 13:28

Going to see this tomorrow, not usually my type of film really but looks decent.

Efour · 10 Mar 2017 at 20:49

Terrible
Started very promising then, I'm guessing, interference from outside.
Facepalming all the way through.

Kainz · 10 Mar 2017 at 21:26

That bad?

How would you compare it to the 2005 film?

Shoza · 10 Mar 2017 at 22:56

Yep agreed promising start and then just terrible - so many good actors wasted with no story and over in no time.

Kyo · 20 Mar 2017 at 11:10

I liked it

not the best in terms of the depth and substance but it ticked all the boxes for a monster flick. 7/10

I enjoyed it also, nice just to sit back and watch stuff happening without much thought.

Glanza · 20 Mar 2017 at 15:59

It's a take brain out and enjoy some fights granted it's no Godzilla or Pacific Rim.

FYI there is an after credit scene that's trying to make it all a multiverse with Godzilla etc for the next film.

I saw it at lunchtime today and thought it was great actually. My colleague agreed. Much better than Godzilla and PR!

Looked beautiful, really nicely shot. Great vfx. Couldn't fault it apart from it not being a particularly original story..
