Re: Kong: Skull Island
In short, they dumbed it down for dem folks because who has time for immersion anymore? Everything has to be "fun fun fun" QUICK. But to be fair, it's probably a more accurate ad for the movie.
I liked Godzilla 2014, but I'm no Godzilla fan, and judging by what those guys want, I don't want to be. I get the appeal for silly, like with wrestling, I just don't share it.
Pacific Rim did modern silliness right.

It was savage, tribal and tense, the drums, the winds, and the look of everyone scared ****less.Brie Larson has a good "holy ****" face.
Yeah the first trailer had a good tension feeling. This one had the 'murican action vibe. but if that's the tone of the movie at least people won't feel betrayed like they did with Godzilla 2014.
I'm setting my expectations to "hope it's good" Because I've been enjoying this string of giant monster movies we've been getting. They're my bread and butter as far as things I enjoy. Even though Godzilla and Pacific Rim were generally disappointing to most, I really like them both and I'm glad they did well enough to warrant sequels. So I hope this one follows.

Grotesque scene. Those guys met arguably the most disturbing end of anyone in that movie. I'd rather be throttled and bashed against a tree by Kong.

Re: Kong: Skull Island
You're thinking about the Showa fans. RIDDICK will tell you al about them
Like the ALIEN franchise in the modern era, King Kong isn't scary anymore. The mystery is gone so it becomes a cheesy action movie. Alas
Yeah. Poor Smeagol. The lack of any music (that I recall maybe just a small swell) during that scene made it even more chilling. Peter Jackson needs to do horror again. He's good at it.

Re: Kong: Skull Island
You could make Godzilla scary and so can you with alien but King Kong just isn't scary nor is he "cool" anymore. People love Godzilla way more which I get cause Godzilla has been around for years whereas King Kong pops up ever once in a while . Nothing to scary about a big monkey so action is the way to go. And it will work!

Unless they make a crossover Kong Paranormal Activity Conjuring movie where gigantic Kong is haunting a studio apartment.

Re: Kong: Skull Island
i think thats because godzilla is more fantastical. king kong is just a gorilla and we arent really scared of gorillas on tv. godzilla could still be scary just because hes unique

Re: Kong: Skull Island
I don't think it's so much the ability to make a character "scary", in this case, the reality is, overally, Godzilla is an offensive creature, King Kong is a defensive creature.
In '33, '76 and 2005, every Kong story has outside man entering Kong's world and disturbing it, his only acts of aggression towards men to defend against the invaders. Then he's taken from his world and dropped into one he doesn't understand and in trying to cope, is attacked by man. On top of that, Kong is very mortal and affected by our weapons.
Godzilla is a beast that invades man's world. He destroys our world with no reason and he's almost immortal.
The nature of Godzilla allows for any number of stories to revolve around him and depictions of him. For better or worse, even when physically depicted as more a Hollywood creation than zoo animal, Kong was created as an animal, to be true to what he is and not be something other than Kong is to be bound by heavy limitations, hence why so few films have been made using him.
I love Kong movies, don't get me wrong, I own all 3 origin films and King Kong Lives, the only ones I don't care for are the Toho films outside of Kong vs Godzilla, but he's a very unique monster in the larger universe of movie monsters, more akin to the shark of JAWS than Godzilla.

Re: Kong: Skull Island
Lol An intimate, small scale King Kong drama would actually be pretty interesting to me. This is just the same old same old. I started watching the Anime One Punch Man, and I think it only appeals to me because it turns convention in its ear.
