    Default King Kong

    I took today off sick *cough*cough*, listen i'm ill*cough*, to be snuck in by a mate to a preview showing of King Kong.

    I won't give any spoilers but all i can and want to say is avoid watching anything, reading anything or just anything which might spoil this film. It is fucking amazing and is the only press show i've been at where people were clapping at the end!

    It's an amazing film, the only real complaint is that some of it is clearly padding to fill out time. Otherwise it's spot on.

    Go queue now.You have been told!

    Uh, you are aware this movie has already been made, twice, right? While I applaud your non-spoilerness, you're about 70 years too late.

    I look at this film the same way I look at The Passion. I know how the film will end but I will see it in support of Peter Jackson.

    The movie is twice as long as the original I'm sure there's a few surprises.

    We all knew what was going to happen in the last Star Wars movie and people still used spoiler tags.

    Yes, but it would be rude for me to blurt out how they've expanded that into a three hour film wouldn't it?

    Well a scene by scene breakdown, without warning, would seem rude. But you don't need to be clairvoyant to figure that the movie will be padded with big FX sequences like dinosaur fights.

    Red face King Kong Review!

    Were as a mixed affair doesn't work!
    Fay Wray sceams, Kong suffers and Robert Aromstrong becomes a philosipher.
    It's never been topped!

    Staring Skull island, the third avenue El and the Empier State building!

    opps! that was the review for the real king Kong movie 1933.

    I saw a preview screening last night - and king mob is 125% correct. A more awe inspiring adventure film cannot have ever been made. GO GO GO.

    I even enjoyed the problematic aspects of it - a directly very Lovecraftian outlook - I won't say more beyond that.
