I don't know about this. There were some nice shots in there and then other parts that looked extremely cheesy.

You saw that crying with one tear action? classic.

Most likely cgi too.

 

[LiK]

He's huge! Oh man, the Godzilla fight is gonna be good. Too bad it'll be awhile before we see that.

 

[Hot Coldman]

Looks good, but I am not sure the film needs this high profile of a cast.

I'm not going to complain about John Goodman and Samuel L Jackson in the same film. That's a good deal!

 

[Elitist1945]

Not sure what I think on the visual aspect. A lot yellow-tints and some 'eh' CGI shots. CGI usually gets touched up between trailer and release though.

 

[Protein]

Japanese Spider crab or daddy long legs?

 

[rekameohs]

Holy smokes, I did not know that was the cast for this movie

 

[Effect]

He's massive!

 

[Nokterian]

Kong looks huugee i am excited to see this in theater.

 

[Corpekata]

I don't get the story. It's clearly Vietnam war era, but that does that mean this is a sequel? Is it a reboot? Did the 1930's Kong (PJ or 1933 original) happen?

Any one know what's up here?

Given both of those movies ended with very public displays of a massive gorilla rampaging in one of the most populous cities on earth and this film hinges on a character proving monsters exist, I think it's clear they are not keeping the previous films in canon in anyway. It's a reboot + time period shift.

 

[Fezan]

If he is really as massive as godzilla won't they be able to see if from miles away

 

[LiquidSolid]

WTF at Kong's size. So much for climbing buildings, they're like step-ladder size compared to him now.

 

[- J - D -]

Sam Jackson better have another Deep Blue Sea moment in this.

He has to be big enough to fight Godzilla

 

[brianmcdoogle]

Looks interesting, but I really didn't like the color grading for it. It seems distracting and garish.

 

[Bold One]

Thats one hell of a cast

 

[TheGreatDirector]

That cast is amazing. The visuals looked wonderful. My interest just skyrocketed for this movie.

 

[Wafflecakes]

I'm not going to complain about John Goodman and Samuel L Jackson in the same film. That's a good deal!

Oh. Those two I am fine with.

Not sold on Tom Hiddleston, but I never much liked him in any movie so I may just be biased.

 

[MrV4ltor]

Is it me or does the CGI look like crap?

Samuel L Jackson seems great though.

Noticed that too....
Kong standing on the horizon looked like a puppet or something.

 

[kruis]

Is it me or does the CGI look like crap?

Release date is March 2017. The movie is far from finished in its current state.

 

[Sadist]

Joooooo Kong looks huge

 

[jett]

Looks good, but I am not sure the film needs this high profile of a cast.

When in doubt, throw money at it.

 

[WhiteWolf]

Awesome trailer, but I am really tired of Sam Jackson. I hope he dies in epic fashion.

 

[PopeReal]

Never even heard of this.... and.....

I am in! Looks like tons of fun. I get a Predator and Aliens vibe from this. And no, not an Aliens vs. Predator kind of vibe.

 

[LiK]

Anyone else tired of Sam Jackson?

 

[alfredofroylan]

And of course the comment section is full of Harambe´s jokes.

 

[brandonh83]

When in doubt, throw money at it.

Yeah it's doomed and they're all in doubt, I can just tell.

 

[golem]

Looks great

And I'll take all the Sam Jackson i can get

 

[Wuthering_Heights]

Anyone else tired of Sam Jackson?

Came here to post this.

Shit, I love the guy, but give him a rest.

 

[jombag]

Yeah I suspect Sam Jackson is going to die in this.

It's a reboot + time period shift.

So this is the first half of the story, minus New York?

Why is this in the 70's when Godzilla, which this is supposed to tie into, is set in modern day?

I guess I'm interested, hence all the questions, but I can't get a good feel on whether this will be good or bad from the trailer. But I am interested.

 

[sakipon]

Bigger is not always better. I'll watch the movie but right now this feels like such a juvenile and unnecessary version of the King Kong story. Let's hope I'll be proven wrong.

 

[Alrus]

Legendary is still working with WB? I thought they severed their partnership a few years ago?

Also looks ok, it's weird that they show Hiddleston and whoever that girl is like they're sorta important but then don't give them a single line in the trailer.

 

[LiK]

Rofl, we posted the same thing at the same time,

 

[wesleyshark]

Anyone else tired of Sam Jackson?

Get out.

 

[metalslimer]

Holy shit at that cast

 

[brandonh83]

This new Kong and Godzilla...

 

[illmatic22]

Get out.

.

 

[VexMythoclast]

Very reminiscent of "Apocalypse Now" in atmosphere, hopefully we don't have another Godzilla situation where it's all buildup with very little payoff.

 

[Kacho]

Anyone else tired of Sam Jackson?

Nope. The cast in this looks great.

 

[muteki]

Well now we know what happens after Tarzan.

I wouldn't go into this expecting it to follow any predetermined route. The only thing we know for certain is that 40 years after this film he is going to get the shit kicked out of him by Godzilla and that's it.

[wesleyshark]

Omg.

 

[Grizzlyjin]

Most likely cgi too.

The cinematography is on point. But the trailer is really just a bunch of shots of the cast looking at something in awe in different locations. I know it's a tease. But how many times can that happen? Lol

The story could have potential since it's obvious that the group is fighting amongst itself. Like the shot of Kong at the end is him creeping on two dudes fighting to the death.

 

[Hot Coldman]

where's his dong

 

[brandonh83]

where's his dong

King Kong, not King Dong.

 

[- J - D -]

Look at all that money on screen. That cast, all those effects, dat Kong.

 

[Joni]

Good cast, good atmosphere, hopefully good movie. Previous King Kong movies weren't completely convincing. But at least they cut out the usually boring part from this one.

 

[Alligatorjandro]

Whoa

 

[BigDes]

where's his dong

Gorilla dongs are tiny.

It wouldn't show past his fur
