It'd be adorable if Kong and that giant bull thing were best friends.

Great clip, as cartoony as I wanted!

We might have a winner here.

So far, early screening feedback has been very post. I'm getting more excited by the day.

That looks epic.

Re: Kong: Skull Island

I really like the visual style of this movie. Now that I'm over the "wow, a new Kong movie" mindset I had with Kong 2005, I like it a lot less than I used to, one aspect being the heavy fantasy look to many shots, almost too LOTR for a story like Kong, where Skull Island looks gritty and harsh.

Godzilla will have a bye week

Re: Kong: Skull Island

Wow. They could have just showed this pic and it would be enough to hype me up.

I feel safe in saying this will be more entertaining than Godzilla. The cast is deeper and better. The action looks heavier and the way it's shot looks beautiful.

This movie looks like it takes after Predator, where they really put a lot of thought and work into making the characters interesting as you go on the journey with them.

I thought Godzilla was going to be a journey film, but it wasn't, not sure how you would describe the story, but it was one that didn't necessarily offer opportunity for fun characters, it bounced around to too many different characters and never lingered on any of them long enough.

Why is there a spoiler warning in the thread title for a movie not out yet?

 

[MaulFan]

Because there are clips and images that could be considered spoilers and people can be overly sensitive when walking into a thread and seeing something they were trying to avoid, so now they've been warned.

She's the new Finn.

This movie looks like it takes after Predator...

That and the old disaster movies of the 70's -- with a big line-up of recognizable faces going through a harrowing adventure.

This is going to be interesting: large cast but no one that really grabs... big monster fight movie but I'm not sure Kong is a big draw to modern audiences... and its being released in a generally poor time of year for a big sfx driven movie.

I felt the story in godzilla was lazy and safe. Maybe they expected the actors to carry it but they got rid of their best one so early. I would have loved godzilla to have been darker, more tragic. Every rebirth of his in cinema tends to be except for the American ones and as a result it doesn't feel as high stakes as some of the classics. The line from the military guy said it best..."we are monster hunters now"...and he said it as calmly as I just typed it. When godzilla hit the land their should gave been absolute dread, terror, helplessness. Kong has more of that in the trailer and he's less than one third the size.
