Black did a great job as the over ambitious director. He was the perfect choice. And he acted well. The only person miscast was Adrien Brody who felt out of place in adventure blockbuster. And as the reviewer notes his relationship with Ann feels half baked and somehow Jackson could not unite or rejoin them very convincingly at the end (spoiler). But Naomi Watts did her job. As the reviewer notes. She was the emotional heart of the film and a lot was required of her. For somebody to emote a range of emotions in a block buster featuring a lot of creatures and to ensure that her bond with Kong did not feel cheesy or ludicrous required good acting skills.

@@brajeshsingh2391 Exactly!

I thought black jack did a perfect role as Charles dehnem.

I think he meant it as a joke referencing jack black band called tenacious d

@@lynnjpsify Yeah that's what these replies are missing lol

Thank you

I've binged the Lord of the Rings extended edition numerous times, and never does it feel dragged out for too long.

@@Rinesmyth That's because the source material is so dense that he could never possibly stretch things too thin. Once he gets to King Kong and The Hobbit, he no longer has that luxury and it shows.

Kongs extended cut only gives more fight scenes though... the movie is the same crap

@@HYDRAdude w Hobbit its definitely also a stretch job, Jackson barely wanted to even be involved if I recall

Preach on man

Facts! Finally someone who's speaks facts!

This movie is 10X better than those souless Disney live action remakes!

I still say the insect scene is harder to watch.

@@GodzillaProductionsTV Especially Lumpy's death.

And The Native Scenes

Wen I was little I always skipped that scene

I still have nightmares from that part

Ayeee ik u my main source of godzilla news

Hi Dangerville.

Why only 3 ppl commenting this

It really was

We want a sequel of king kong 2005

Great in game night too.

Yeah that's not saying much tho

Omg god yes I spent hours on that game it was so much fun on my ps2

This is my all time fav film, and that game is actually incredible and sooooo fun to play. I love how the game does the story differently to the film, as a kid the game scared me ESPECIALLY the missions where you have to distract the T. rex 🥴

@@MajinMuu Same here I still own it and I still love it!

nah I prefer the screaming of fear relationship from the original

@@RoninTheCrusader that's what happens when you walk into a thoughtful political drama expecting monster shlock lmao

Alex youtube channel hold up Shin Godzilla is one of the best Godzilla movies

Ayyy I was 5 when this movie came out and I remember getting a king Kong figure on Christmas of that year. I love this movie and the memories

no movie is too long.... why do people watch tv series and trilogies then. This movie is a MASTERPIECE! thats why its 3 hours. A longer movie is a better movie, have we been peer pressured by the stupid into thinking a movie can be too long. The longer the better i find! more pay for your buck. This movie could have easily probaly been chopped up into 3 movies, if not 3 then atleast 2. And instead we pay for one film, one materpiece and thats what this movie is. People that complain its too long i say. whens the last time you read a good book? whens the last time you saw a good story and characters unfold? this movie is a masterpiece and im glad other people thiink soo too! awsome! one of my fav first time watched films ever!

We want a sequel of king kong 2005

King Kong Lives was my first Kong movie. But this Remake was my Introduction to the classic Kong story and when you see it as a standalone fantasy, adventure epic without the original to compare it to. It really is a masterpiece of it's time that can stand on its own

The scene that always kills me is when they kill kong

I hate the people who complains about it being too long. Like every Peter Jackson movies are 2hrs and 30 mins to 3hrs.

This movie is not long and boring, People just dont read books or know a good story when they see it anymore or cant take the time to let the characters develop, its gotta be fast short film with non stop action and stupid story. This movie was a MASTERPIECE in everyway, i think its a criminally underated movie especially at its time, 2005. The oldtime feel, the adventure, How crazy jack black is and disregard for peoples lives lmao. kong on camera now lol. save the camera lol. The romance, the action, tense moments, bg scene, the deleted scenes, the fucking t rexes fighting king kong. The epic atmosphere and setting and acting and sotrytelling. This was a masterpiece! What do people want from movies anymore. if your reason for not liking a movie cuz its too long, thats just. idk how to respond to that, dont watch anymore sequels to movies then cuz you can only handle the fiirst film? like huh?? yeah kingkong is like two films in one, thats why its a masterpiece, maybe some people gotta turn it off half way and continue the next day. like how u would with a book. But maan, the people that dont like this movie, either just dont like the idea of a big monkey lmao, they dont like romance shit with the monkey and the maybe older setting. Other than that, theres no reason to hate a piece of GOLD like this film. Some people just have to give it a chance, and watch it when your in the mood for watching like a trilogy. The new king kong is good, but its just monsters and fighting, quick stupid cash grab movie no actors no story no time to set anything up, and yet people who hate this film problay prefer that one, thats why most people only watch movies and dont read books anymore. Our attentions spans are gone...... I really consider this one of my fav movies and besides that, just the amoutn of work that went into this film, you can definelty tell. its one of a kind thats for sure!

@@codyferguson9163 couldn't have said it better myself, it's a crime that people even think Kong:skull island can compare to this masterpiece. Love K:SI but it's just another monster movie, this movie however, transcends that category.

Were you 12 when it came out? This movie was garbage. The worst of all the Kong movies. Even worse, it has Jack Black in it.

Jon Do you literally have anything better to do than show your hate-boner for this movie and go after those who love it ( me included ) ?!? Go stomp your feet somewhere else

Jon there’s no reason to hate on it. It’s not bad at all, some people just won’t stay invested in a real story, I will admit it has weak points. Don’t need to insult me either with that comment. You’re being extra to hate perfectly fine film, it’s more cinema than anything before it outside the original

@@orcawithdrip827 Why is it only ok to express your positive feelings about something but someone can't express their dislike of it? That's just as valid a feeling that needs to be let out as any other feeling or emotion. If we don't do that, it can stifle a person. And this movie did suck overall. The Kong was great, and to offset that idiot Jack Black, it at least had Naomi Watts! But it was too long, overblown and the Mr. Hayes/Jimmy story was absolutely unnecessary. If people needed those two characters to figure out this was a "Heart of Darkness" story, then they're not paying enough attention. The natives were inexplicably too hostile and Adrian Brody was a silly "love interest/hero". If it didn't have Jack Black and they cut it down to 90 minutes, it has a chance.

@@squatch570 One can express their negative feelings about the movie, but it's just plain childish to insult or make fun of the people who like it

Trey Rex Agreed!

I couldn't agree more

@Ivan Ringle And the V-Rex sections were horrifying.

Agreed
