Can I admit to being slightly interested because I like Tom Hiddleston's face? :anxious: I'm not a King Kong movie fan in any way, but I like some action/adventure movies, and I do like Tom Hiddleston! :inlove: I won't go see this in theatres unless a friend really wants to go, but I wouldn't mind seeing it eventually.

I've never seen a King Kong movie before, and until now wasn't really interested in doing so, but this actually unexpectedly has me legitimately excited. I think it looks like a lot of fun! I will definitely be seeing it; not sure if in the theater, though that would be my preference. I think it would be great to watch that big thing on a big screen!

What I'm really excited for now is when Kong takes on Godzilla after that franchise's sequel! That is going to be awesome!

I get more and more excited about this movie with each new trailer.

I really wanted to enjoy the 2005 King Kong movie but ended up thinking it may have been one of the worst of the decade. It was such a disappointment.

Now, anybody can make a great trailer. I could end up disappointed with this one. But I still want to see it. And, from what I understand, this new King Kong is going to tie in with the new Godzilla movies. Now, I don't know about everybody else, but that sounds like a whole ball of fun right there and I can't wait to see it!

So, I sadly didn't manage to get into the theater back when this came out, but I got the DVD for super cheap on Black Friday a couple years ago. But I just realized that for some reason I never got around to actually watching it yet! So I quickly did so before I go see the new one this week!


I absolutely loved every minute of this! It's very possible this is my favorite movie so far in the series! I'll have to rewatch King of the Monsters again to be sure because I liked that one a lot too, but I think this probably gets the edge from being nonstop monster action where the other interjected human stuff that I wasn't majorly interested in.

I expected a giant monster movie, and definitely got that, but it had way more of a specifically Jurassic Park type feeling to it than I was aware it would have, taking place all on that island with the whole plot just being try to survive all the things, which got me into it even more! I loved all the different kinds of creatures, the effects were great, the action was fantastic. The only negative I have is now that I've seen it I really regret not making it to a big screen viewing, it would have been amazing.

It absolutely flew by too; when it was over I could not believe that was a two hour movie!

I'm more hyped than ever for Godzilla vs Kong now!
