Same director as Kong'76


Surprised to find out its the same director as King Kong 1976 (also director of Towering Inferno and Sheena)

Frankly I like this movie. It's not as good as the 76, 33, King Kong Vs. Godzilla from 1963, Kong Skull Island, the more recent Kong Vs. Godzilla or the Peter Jackson remake. But I enjoy it. Even with its weird scene of King Kong eating Aligators.

It's better than Kong Skull Island. That film is a piece of shit.

reply

Skull Island is great!

Much better than this bargain basement fiasco.

Linda Hamilton's tits > Samual L. Jackson playing the same character he's played a 100 times before.

reply

Hamilton had no tits.

Brie Larsen fully clothed > Hamilton naked any damn day

reply

Linda Hamilton can actually act, though, and make even a mediocre film like this watchable.

Brie Larson on the other hand is an unlikable, man-hating feminist with zero acting talent, indicative of how shit movies have become in recent years.

reply

Larson is hot and a Best Actress OSCAR winner.

Hamilton is neither.

And you think Hamilton is a card carrying Republican?

She’s a Democrat and feminist.

Just like Larson.

Hell, Hamilton even wrote a book called The Fourth Wife which has been described it as “a feminist awakening.”

reply

Can you find a video of Linda Hamilton spewing this kind of anti-male rhetoric? https://youtu.be/ZA_DNrV6izw?feature=shared&t=19

I figured Hamilton is a democrat, most artists are, but at least she starred in some classic movies & acted well in them, which is dispensation for having any woke views since she at least contributed something worthwhile to film, unlike Larson with her shit films & shit attitude.

reply

Wow.

Did you even watch that Larson video?

Or pay attention, especially at the 1:03 mark?

Nothing about it is anti-male.

She was simply saying they’d like to see a more diverse mix of critics reviewing movies rather than a majority of them being white men, especially for projects aimed at a diverse and/or female audience.

And I agree.

Nothing wrong with what she said.

As for her projects being shit, that’s your personal opinion.

Except for the Terminator series, where Sarah Conner was totally useless except in the first one where she got lucky and was able to destroy the Terminator, she’s added nothing to the industry.

Everything else she’s done is easily forgettable.

Also, Larson has won 68 acting awards so far - including the Oscar - in her 27-year career.

Hamilton has won only 17(!) in the past 46(!) years.

No. Her speech is the reason why you've just seen some dyke fly a fucking chopper right into a plane full of people.

She's using the same type of inflammatory language that's being forced on every white-dominated institution in order to intimidate them into removing white men from positions of influence and replace them with inferior DEI hires.

If you like this horrible wench and her shit films then fair enough, no crime against that. I don't know how any man could stomach someone who embodies everything that's wrong with modern women.

reply

You're babbling.

Make sense.

reply

Happens more than you think. Look at Todd Phillips and his two Joker movies.

One of the strangest sequels ever to get a theatrical release.

reply

It's worth reading the self help book "The War of Art" which is written by the guy who wrote KING KONG LIVES. He briefly touches on how the writing process for this movie really broke him. It sounds like more of a case of De Laurentiis meddling than any problem with the script, or the director who was at this point in his career a lot more a director-for-hire than any kind of visionary artist, similar to Richard Fleischer.

As a kid I didn't mind it too much as I loved any giant monster movie, but the film's many abrupt shifts in tone baffled me. Some of the effects were great for the time and others sub-60's Godzilla movie.

reply

Don't be surprised. Most sequels have the same director as the original

reply

Well, both movies are rather sabotaged by awful screenplays. This one is less annoying because: a) It is a solid half hour shorter. b) It is obviously a weirdly dry parody... I mean, it starts off with Kong having fallen a thousand feet and the only damage to be repaired is his BROKEN HEART.
