Is anyone else looking forward to seeing Jackson fall flat on his face? Who does he think he is, with all this 3 hour-plus shit?

Bored of the rings, wanna see him lose some weight and facial hair instead.

Plus I'm not happy about what he allegedly got up to at his fantasy ranch.

ehhh he is not fat anymore....but I agree on everything else...:D

Maybe he wanted to grow as a flimmaker? You can't just make the same type movies for your entire career.

By jove, you're right!

Skinny bastard!

:p

im still gonna see this, because i am a devoted Peter Jackson fan. just saw Bad Taste for the first time a few weeks ago. what a masterpiece!!

saw Kong at the weekend, my kids loved it. Personally, i liked the film, but the film felt a bit flabby. he could have easily trimmed the first hour of the film down to 20 minutes & it would have been a better film. Don't think i'll be buying the 4 hour directors cut......

but i heard there are lots of scenes with Kong taking massive dumps and scratching his enormous hairy butt - surely that's worth an extra hour or so???

:D

Unfortunately, they decided to go the Teen Comedy route for this Director's Cut. Of the extra 45 minutes, 15 of them show Giant Monkey Penis, 25 minutes of random lesbian makeouts, and a 5 minute scene where Jack Black tricks Adrian Brodey into accidentaly drinking his own semen

Because that kind of thing matters so much, right? It's not like he's successful or anything, obviously.

Well - i finally saw Kong yesterday and my review is similar to others. I thought it dragged horribly during the first hour or so - and even the action sequences (dinosaur stampede - giant bug attack etc. were over done, too long and too ridiculuous).

That said, I thought Kong was AMAZING and there was such a chemistry between the giant Ape and Naomi Watts (which is really weird to say) - Watts is amazing in the film (if a bit too watery-eyed in the first hour or so. The film really only works when the watts is with Kong, then its pure movie magic.

Confession time: i actually got teary-eyed at the end.

All that praise aside: JACK BLACK SUCKS! Oh my god, why would you cast a hack wannabe comedian in a major role for a $200 million film????? He is so wooden, has three facial expressions, and literally sucks the life out of the film everytime he pops up. I can almost see the other actors (who are all good-to-excellent) cringing when he's in a scene. And, he delivers the final line of the film - BADLY! God what a mistake. If they can digitally remake the film, edit the first 90 minutes down to 20 minutes and replace Jack Black with someone (ANYONE) who can ACT! They'd have a fabulous film.
