I love me some Hiddles but I just don't want to see this -- nm - Epiphany Mar 10, 08:10 7
- It got a great review today in the Chicago Tribune (3.5 stars out of 4). I was pretty surprised. -- nm - pmb Mar 10, 08:15 4
  - a lot of top critics are liking it a lot more than I did. I think it would have helped had I seen it in IMAX. -- nm - Diva Mar 10, 08:16 3
    - I am now torn. My theater got the recliners in the other rooms but the IMAX did not. -- nm - Spawn Mar 10, 08:22 2
      - see it in IMAX 3D if you can. -- nm* - Diva Mar 10, 08:24 1
        
        But it is a 10:45pm! - Spawn Mar 10, 08:27
- WHat if I told you the final scene was Kong picking him up by the foot, and smashing him about and saying, "Puny human!"? -- nm - Spawn Mar 10, 08:11 1
  - I'd die laughing and go see it immediately -- nm - Epiphany Mar 10, 08:13
yeah me too. -- nm - Diva Mar 10, 08:07
I expect it to open stronger tham the last Kong movie which did $50M opening weekend. So I will give it a $55 -$60M range. -- nm - Spawn Mar 10, 08:06 17
- That was Peter Jackson coming off LOTR though. -- nm - Roger More Mar 10, 08:11 6
  - King Kong >>>>> Peter Jackson. -- nm - Spawn Mar 10, 08:12 5
    - at the time, no. -- nm - Diva Mar 10, 08:14 3
      - All time. HSX people tend to over emphasize the importance of directors. Godzilla just did $93M. - Spawn Mar 10, 08:17 2
        
        And it had previews of $9.3 million -- nm - Roger More Mar 10, 08:23 1
        
        True. I expect *strong* matinees. -- nm - Spawn Mar 10, 08:25
    - LOL. -- nm - MDH Mar 10, 08:14
- Whoa. The 2005 version runtime: 3 hrs. 7 min. - Spawn Mar 10, 08:10 9
  - I fell asleep in the theater. -- nm - Ender Mar 10, 08:39
  - it certainly felt like it -- nm - Epiphany Mar 10, 08:12
  - it was waaay too bloated. -- nm - Diva Mar 10, 08:11 6
    - WETA gotta eat - Mel Profit Mar 10, 08:25 4
      - His death scene was like 15 minutes - Will Hunting Mar 10, 08:44
      - The dino chase was... not good. But I liked the movie overall , acknowledging its flaws -- nm - Reagen Mar 10, 08:29 2
        
        the dino chase was awful and waaay too long. I think he's still fighting them. -- nm - Diva Mar 10, 08:34
        
        I'm a sucker for most CGI fests but they could have cut out a few sequences. - Mel Profit Mar 10, 08:33
    - "Peter Jackson Brushes His Teeth Part 1 - runtime 2 hrs 48 min" -- nm - Reagen Mar 10, 08:19
I bet it cost more than that ... by double. It looks pretty good - how are the reviews? -- nm - Beryllium Mar 10, 08:05 5
- it'll make so much internationally the domestic # won't matter. My personal review is that it's real dumb but there's some fun stuff in it (spoiler) - Diva Mar 10, 08:10 3
  - does * spoil* question - Epiphany Mar 10, 08:11 2
    - serious big spoiler - Diva Mar 10, 08:13 1
      - thank you - -- nm - Epiphany Mar 10, 08:17
- 79% on RT -- nm - Roger More Mar 10, 08:07
