Kong Flops?
i just read that the opening of kong (on wednesday) was way below industry expectations - that combined with luke-warm critical praise and some ambivalent word of mouth makes me wonder - do you think King Kong might be a flop? Will the giant monkey remake go the way of the giant lizard remake (the atrocious Godzilla)?
thoughts?

I too refuse to dole out 8.50$ for that film even if it HAS Naomi Watts.

It's on pace to make around $100 million bucks... definitely not gonna cut it.

i really wanted to see it until i started seeing all the previews. . . now i'm not so excited for it
kong looks way to c.g. and it seems to have too much of the dew-eyed emotional swell of the last 40 minutes of Return of the King

3 hours of even good CGI is hard to take. This wasn't like 'LOTR' wher all the fans had a close say in what eventually made it on screen mind you. This was Peter Jackson's ego at work and the studios rewarded him this favor for his 3-peat. When all is said and done, it's still just another remake.

what luke-warm critical praise? I've heard nothing but glowing reviews (it's got an 83 fresh on Rottentomatoes)

i've seen some pretty nasty things said about it on "aintitcool.com" - which is a site that i figured would have been busting a nut over this film. . .
