So it is finally here - the first brief glimpses of Peter Jackson's KING KONG. Check out the trailer.
My first reaction is... ugh.
My second is... UGH!
I am completely dismayed by Jack Black and his narration - it just does not hold up the ominous mood that is supposedly being set. Some of the island stuff looks cool - the voodoo scenes are semi-creepy.
I am just not sure anything is really working for me here. Especially that shot tracking out of the cave when you hear Kong growl... lame!
And they toss in a shot of Kong in the city before the trailer even sees Kong for the first time. Just don't make no sense.
"My cousin was in Jurassic Park - he said Spielberg is a d*ck!"
Watts is a fine choice.
I can dig the imagery...
...but not so sure of Kong's constipated look.
Check it out for yourself... this sure aint no Lord of the Rings.
Yo

I watched the trailer the end of the day Wed. Am I supposed to be excited about this film? Who cast Mr. Black in this role an idiot? The day he is a believable director is the day "Family Guy" will make it back onto our tv's..oops

I saw the trailer as well. I don't have heaping helpings of hate, but I kind of had no expectations either way. Frankly, I would like to see him do another small film like Dead Alive. Now that was genius.

I just watched the trailer for King Kong. I think it's going to be an ok movie, but Black is already killing me. I thought he was going to make the film, but it seems like he's going to kill it instead. When he did the narration I kept waiting for him to bust out and sing Kilbasa (sp) Sausage. He's just not believable as anything other than a funny man. Hmm
