- Kong Skull Island has been released but is it as good as Peter Jackson's King Kong, which is arguably the best interpretation of the character?

Jackson's version is a masterpiece. The score, the set pieces, the costumes and makeup, the massive scope, the diverse creatures and locations of the island, the motion capture, the acting. They dont make movies like this anymore, this was hollywood firing on all cylinders. 10/10
King Kong 2005: a tragic story of a misunderstood creature
Kong: skull island: EXPLOSIONS!!
Agree
I liked them both but 2005 was better
King Kong 2005: Remake which is overlong but still very good
Kong Skull Island: Not a Remake, Different story, Fun, Quick, Doesn’t do the same things as the other films
Yeah but I like explosions
@@bennyhoward1391 2005 needed to be long so every one could have characteristics. And kong in that was a character not a monster that destroys random shit for no reason.
King Kong 2005 is the best kong movie I've ever seen it has emotion , action, drama, suspense and and you really care about kong and Ann
Agreed
@TutuXTutu Infinitely Wrong
And it shows that if an island is called Skull Island, then it means everything on it beings death, including the native savages. They put the Mayans to shame. 😈
For me, the most terrifying part of the 2005 King Kong movie was the natives. The film does a great job at showing that they could be just as dangerous as the monsters on Skull Island. That scene where they quietly throw a spear through one of the crewmen’s chests right in front of Naomi Watts’ character was haunting.
2005 version is one of my all time favorite movies
It is My favourite movie!
Yeah
Gho5t Rider98 same
I remember loving every bit of the 2005 film as it made me appreciate the skill Jackson had at character dynamics at the time
byron brooks and the all of the time and thought put into crafting Skull Island to make it seem like a real place with an actual lost prehistoric ecosystem and not just big dumb monsters running around an island fighting each other constantly.
2005 is definitely better. But 2017 is basically a fun action movie
Shut up
@@remithechampionaasbo i think there is more depth to 2005. So I'm gonna say "Shut Up" to you until you say an actual criticism that would convince us that 2017 is better than 2005.
I agree
ok no i hate you kong scull island is stronger
I think 2017 is better
Legendary: How many explosions?
Kong skull island: Yes
That's holires
The peter Jackson king Kong is far superior by a mile. This was and still is one of the few movies to make me legitimately cry. I could go into more detail about why I not only consider it to be a great movie but better than the original, but I don't think anyone really wants to read a full in-depth review, so Ill give it a grade. A+ (9.5/10)
Lachlan alway Peter Jackson's so much better it atleast tries to be similar to the original
yep kong dieing is so sad
Lachlan alway I give it a 10/10, it was an excellent film!! Tops any monster film and most films in general.
Kong Skull Island is far better because it features Kong apart of a larger franchise than just 1 movie a boring 1 at that
Steven Jones :)) Kong Skull Island is nothing compare to King Kong 2005.
I liked how the 2005 one was so slow. It endured me to the characters so that I cared what happened to them. I was 5 when I first saw this movie and it has been one of my favorites since them.
Also, I liked how Kong had Ann in his hands the entire fight so you weren't only invested him what happened to Kong, you were also scared for Ann.
Can we just appreciate the fact that any Peter Jackson movie has some incredible cgi. Honestly, the fact that most of his cgi intensive movies are between 2005 and 2011and still look better than half the stuff we have in 2019 is insane.
I noticed Andy Sirkus got killed twice in King Kong him as him self then him when he was playing kong
And funny enough, so did Toby Cebbel😂
Kong 2005: giant gorilla
Kong 2017: giant big foot-ish
That’s kinda how he was in Godzilla vs king kong
The 3 hours of king kong 2005 chould be 5 hours i looooved it!
Now, now, let's not get tooooo excited. If you wanna see more Peter Jackson films, go see The Lord of the Rings
Theres a director's cut with a lot more scenes, its great!!
5 hours is too much
the extended version of Return Of The King was over 4 hours long lol
Same
Dude that aspect where the men loved attacking a prestine land. It was an inside joke about how America did the EXACT same in the Vietnam war. They weren't doing this ignorantly, they did it as a running joke towards america.
+The Realist Even so it didn't make the characters likeable. So if that's what they intended to do then they should have incorporated it more efficiently.
@@EricCarter12 they weren't trying to get you to like the soldiers. They wanted you to like Kong and Monarch. Those are the main characters in the Monsterverse. The monsters and Monarch.
I made another versus video last year called Godzilla (2014) VS Kong Skull Island and I made that exact point. When you watch a movie multiple times you pick up on stuff that you didn't notice or realise before.
And that's one point that I make in defense of the movie on second viewing.
Thanks for making that point buddy. It is a really good one and one that I agree with.
I hope you enjoyed the rest of the video. 😉

I love King Kong 2005! Maybe a lot because of nostalgia (gosh nostalgia over 2005 already who knew). It's flawed and long and got some very campy scenes, but it got so much heart and one of the most gorgeous soundtracks I've ever heard. Makes me so happy to get to see Newton Howard live in November!
Baby Scatha, Peter Jackson's King Kong is not just my favorite King Kong version. It's also one of my favorite movies of all time☺️ I re-watched it during the lockdown - and it has aged very well. The story is still heart wrenching and human. Even the special effects are still top notch.
I like Kong Skull Island, too, though. It's a very entertaining movie, although the overly large CGI Kong isn't nearly as convincing as Andy Serkis' Kong.
I really liked Kong skull island, but peter jacksons King Kong was really cool too.
Peter Jackson did a great job with Kong. I saw it in theaters, and I was in Love!
I actually I felt more bad for the Kong from ‘’Kong: Skull Island’’ because he is only teenager in 2017 and second, he is just trying his best to protect the island.
True
@Ruv the Russian I still feel more bad for 2017 Kong because there is a comic named Skull Island: The Birth Of Kong where we see the MonsterVerse Kong’s parents die. Peter Jackson’s King Kong was the same exact thing we have seen before. ‘’Kong: Skull Island’’ is something different. Kong’s parents died when he was just a baby. 2017 Kong sits by the place where his parents died and looks into the sky as he sees the beautiful neon light colour. And that is also how you make a perfect Kong.
@Ruv the Russian As much I still feel more bad for 2017 Kong, I respect your opinion.
Not the same Kong
You really missed the point with Skull Island. The humans are supposed to be the bad guys. That's why nothing they do ends up working. That's also why so many of them are killed off. You're supposed to hate the humans.
I wasnt really happy when Kong died in 2005 version. Humans are not presented as good there either.
Then overrall you going to really get a bad film. The whole point of a character is one you thought done well in the film. And if your going to start hating the character then you dont really get the point of characters
That's not true, the character of Brie Larson was supposed to be liked, that's why she had scenes of her being kind towards kong. It's the same thing with the actor of Loki who is shown being badass while killing creatures. The two villains were Samuel Jackson and the Skullcrawlers.
am I the only one that understands that King Kong (2005) was a remake of the original and that Kong: Skull Island is actually a reboot. They have totally different stories. Skull Island took out the beauty and the beast angle, the tribe wasn't making sacrifices to Kong in the form of brides. Not really fair to compare the two movies. King Kong is a complete story, Skull Island is only part of a story. Both are good , but, the 1933 version is the best of all however, always will be.
They both Kong so it's always gonna be compared, it's kinda like saying you can't compare Godzilla 14 to the original.
@@xtiancolquhoun7410 you really can't compare it to the original though. Godzilla 2014 is completely different from original godzilla. A fairer comparison would be between shin godzilla and the original godzilla.
@@alecvip7562 Og Wins.
A least Kong skull island did something different then watching Kong going up a building and falling off a building and then die and redo a movie with the same thing
M.P Productive exactly
Still Kong skull island is a bad movie
Alex youtube channel ok but I think Kong skull island doesn’t suck.
King Kong (2005) felt like a passionate attempt at making a real movie, Kong: Skull Island felt like a forced tie in movie
Kong Skull Island: we have the scariest creatures!
King Kong 2005: cute.
I just watched the ending to King Kong (2005), and right now, the idea of Kong: Skull Island actually kinda triggers me. I get that you want to keep him alive so he can fight Godzilla, but good God, at least give him a good origin story!
I thought Skull Island was really good tho
King Kong 2005, while it has it flaws, feels like a complete and utter love letter to the original. Peter Jackson(the original is his favorite movie ever)really poured his heart and soul into every aspect. The New York setting, Skull island, its natives and creatures all feel amazing and totally realized. When you finally get to the island it truly feels like it could be a lost world. There was such a good buildup and the characters weren't just stand ins. King Kong feels like a perfect adventure movie, its emotional, its pays homage to the original and I think the creators would honestly be proud. It feels like a true epic just like when I saw fellowship of the ring. It has its flaws but I think it's a masterpiece.
Kong skull island is a genre film. I "liked" the film but it was so utterly forgettable. Honestly the characters remind me of suicide squad. A bunch of characters get thrown into a story but I didn't care about any of them(except John C Reilly). They are completely one dimensional. I really liked the 70's setting and the look of Kong is cool. The cinematography is cool and there are some amazing shots. But I never felt like Skull island was a real place at all that was compelling. The natives were boring, the main "threat" didn't seem like much of a threat at all. I didn't ever get the sense that Kong was a god or that I should be rooting for him. The movie honestly feels like it exists solely for his introduction into the Godzilla universe. Which is okay, but I need MORE than that in my film. I need compelling characters. I need to be emotionally invested in Kong to care about him down the line. That didn't happen here at all. I don't hate the film or anything but that's my opinion. I'm going to now watch the video and see if I agree lol. We might have a completely different perspective.
Lol, our perspectives are actually quite the same.
Truer words have never been spoken 👏
@@EricCarter12Kong 2017 doesn't deserve 5/10 .lt deserves much lower & King Kong (2005) deserves 10 out of 10
@@zebgiganotosaurusgaming are you sure about that
@Ruv the Russian Kong skull island has a much more interesting story, because I’m tired of the same thing because the girl in Kong was ngl useless
Strange how Skull Island in Peter Jackson's King Kong is entirely CGI, yet feels more real and alive then the Skull Island in Kong: Skull Island, which is filmed on location in Vietnam
All down by to amazing filmmaking techniques by Jackson. 🎥
@@Grandmaster_Dragonborn Also an overall more immersive atmosphere and emotional soundtrack
Was remade
Oh yeah 2005 King Kong fighting was way dirtier than when 2017 Kong stomped on smaller Skull Crawlers' heads, and ate a person, and used a tree as a baseball bat, and used the ship propeller as a whip, and literally ripped the Skull Crawler's guts out. LOL
Gabriel Gonzalez while the 2005 one bit people's heads of crushed vrex heads with rocks threw people into walls crushing their whole body bites vrex tounges of and litterally PULLS APART THE JAWS OF A VREX AND THEN CRUSHES THE VREX'S SKULL WITH HIS BARE HANDS
They don’t make them like they use to that’s for sure. Cross overs are cool but In all honesty it’s just for action which I love, but a story is just as important tho.
the thing that pissed me off is how 2017 was called "Skull Island" and yet in peter jacksons we literally get more creatures than skull island.
The 05 version didn't even feature that many creatures as they had a book released on it & they weren't even in the damn movie which pissed me off
@First Name Last Name Yea no keep dreaming kid
The 05 king Kong didn't have that many fight scenes
@@stevenjones4059 moderntard
@@stevenjones4059 lol you are the kid here. The 2005 movie features waay more creatures than in kong skull island. It also include most of them from the book itself. The ecosystem that is thriving but at the same time dying due to the island sinking at a slow rate to the point that it drove creatures from the past to undergone evolution which gives rise to the nightmarish versions for the sake of survival. The abyssal chaisms scene alone features more animals than any of the ones featured in kong skull island. Keep talking shit, loser.
King Kong is a stand alone movie, where Kong Skull Island is not. That makes a big difference.
Jackson's version is easily the superior film, but Kong Skull Island is still an excellent movie.
@Veda Aryan 6B Yeah, except a lot of the main actors don't really get much to do. I mean, why take some incredibly strong talents, and not give them an arc?
@Aryan and Veda 6B the 2017 Kong is suppose to be bigger, so it somehow has a chance against Godzilla in the upcoming movie. But other than that, the Peter Jackson movie was way better in almost every aspect.
The new movie is a huge disappointment. I can't believe people these days actually prefer 1h30m to 2h long movies when there's not enough time to really accomplish anything memorable. The 2005 King Kong, was superior in every way and the best part is you get to see Kong more than the average computer generated character. It's really ironic how the old days really do turn out to be better.
I totally agree mate. I am actually going to bring that up in a future versus video. Thanks so much for watching and commenting!
The first hour of the movie Kong doesn't even show up, yeah, totally better.
@@gaminggalaxies6633 You must hate jaws.
Dude, People have their own opinions
My opinion is that Kong skull Island is far more better then the 2005
But your opinion is your opinion so i respect that
It's like every movie now is only 2 hours people need to start making longer movies
I like King Kong better than Skull Island but King Kong was the first movie I ever saw so I'm a bit biased.
Rule Book you never seen a movie before that??
@@anthonyblack7460
What if He was actually born in 2002/03
Or maybe he didn't have tv idk lmao
Most of the 2005 Kong's benefit comes from the magic of Andy Serkis, it's quite rare we do actually see him on screen and not motion capture. His appearance in Black Panther is evidence of his awesomeness.
Dude! I'm so with you here! You said you were 10? I was like 9 or 10 watching this too and it was just legendary. You just can't forget watching king Kong in theaters when it came out. It was phenomenal.
I just watched the 2005 movie and it was far better than skull island
Best comparison ever, I agree 100%
There's no way that Kong would have been holding Annie while fighting against three Tyrannodons.
I loved the 2005 movie it was just more realistic and great cig for 2005.
It sure was. The CGI for the most part still holds up.
I saw king kong 2005 when it came out near my birthday and I'll never forget the experience it left on me
king kong 2005 is genuinely one of my favourite stand alone movies, for me id give it a 9/10
agreed skull island was disapionting peter jackson's kong was great but the skull island end credit scence was awsome
The 2005 version was amaizing... Kong +Dinosaurs = epic moments!!!
I agree that the Jackson's characters are much better but your point about the 2017 movie being on human side is absolutely ridiculous and nonsensical. 1.Characters are not bombing an uncharted island just for fun. They clearly state that those are scientific devices.
2.Kong:Skull Island evidently does not endorse american interventionism. The movie punishes it. In some ways it plays out like the Avatar. But Skull Island does it even better because unlike Avatar where humans are villains that we should not empathize with Skull Island doesn't villainize any of the sides. It shows both sides' perspectives. The whole theme of the movie is "We don't belong here". The trailer song is called " We've gotta get out of this place". Even one of the main characters says :" You don't go into someone's house and start dropping bombs unless you are picking a fight."
1, They were doing it to just wake Kong up.
Although I respect your opinion. This video does feel a little one sided for a Versus video. If it were a "Why Kong 2005 is better than Skull Island" video, this would make a little more sense
Tagmon74 yeh ur really one sided
I agree. This video was very biased
King Kong (2005) is better
The 2005 kong was my childhood movie but I was born in 2006. The 2017 was amazing and I enjoyed it......but not us much when I watch the original one I was scares but the monsters in there those shit gave me nightmares but it is still in my top 10 favorites movies of all time
"Kong's final action to kill the monster was weak"
Me: he ripped out the skull crawlers organs did he even watch the movie
That was a pretty cool scene. But I always wondered, did he do that with the same hand he was holding Mason?
Oh yeah also the 1962 version of Kong was bigger than the 2017
No the biggest adaptation for Kong its been 105 feet tall
@@skarlynjoelseguraramirez1798 Nope, in godzilla v kong he was around 150 feet. Bigger than the 2017 version.

It had the same effect on me. The movie is REALLY disposable. Thanks for watching buddy!
All Kong skull island focused on was fight scenes it didn't have any build up
We were both 10 years old in 2005 . I liked universal King Kong cause he faces more dinosaurs and makes his life more exciting. Kong skull island had the same connection. Dinosaurs in Kong are more exciting . The skull crawlers are maybe a relative of a crocodile . Long live King Kong
Nice video as always!
Thanks a lot buddy! It means a lot!
i agree 157% with you that Peter Jackson's King Kong (2005) is far better than Kong Skull Island (2017) and you gave alot of reasons why its better because of its action scenes, story, Kong himself, the conclusion and the musical score from my point of view, i just recently watched the 2017 film and i felt like, wow that has to be by far the WORST monster film i have ever seen in my entire life, and by the way who would look that clean after spending god knows how many days they where on that island, i honestly feel from my perspective that whoever wrote and directed this film and from my point of view i feel like they tried to make this 2017 film better than the 2005 version and just for laughs it clearly failed with a capital F, myself as a person i've never been a fan of re-boots or remakes or whatever you can call them, but despite the 2005 version being a remake it really is an amazing and fascinating movie in its own right, the only re-boots i really love love would be Rise of the planet of the apes (2011) Dawn of the planet of the apes (2014) War for the planet of the apes (2017) and Karate Kid (2010) but not as much as the 1984 film.
I understand that people complain about the span of time 2005's King Kong takes throughout. But in my opinion, every lengthy second of it amounts into importance
I know the video is a bit old, but I REALLY have to wonder what movies you're watching, because your description of the US military as portrayed in movies is the exact opposite of almost every war movie made from 1970 onwards. As mentioned by someone else in the comment section, the portrayal of the military in Avatar is the norm to the point of being a cliche (and cramming every other military cliche they could in the process).
King Kong (2005) is an legendary movie no Doubt Kong skull island is good movie but kong 2005 is iconic ❤️
King Kong (1933) is still the best. The effects may not look real, but they're still interesting and are fun to look at. Kong isn't very fleshed out, but he's portrayed more as an animal than human. The pacing is fast, and the characters are solid. I know that it's in B&W, but it's still a really good movie and worth watching/ talking about.
The only good kong movies are the 33 and the 05 versions, 05 king is one of my favorite movies also.
I mostly agree. Skull Island has many references to other movies (esp Apocalypse Now), which depending on your point of view, makes for either entertaining "homages" or shameless scene rip offs. Most of them gave me a chuckle, but the sword fighting scene pushed it too far for my tastes. King Kong is actually a love story cleverly wrapped in an action flick so men don't notice. The 30's original was probably the ultimate date movie at the time.
Love story is definitely the word. The original King Kong story is a more adult and tragic version of Beauty and the Beast. Thanks for watching and commenting buddy! I have plenty more versus videos on the way.
Its no contest, we all know which one is the best one.
Agree completely!
It's funny, because according to CinemaWins, Henry Jackman is "always a win".
Henry jackman has awful music
Btw, did you stick around after the credits?
Yeah I did. It was a good scene but it just confirmed what I already expected the franchise to do. Thanks for watching buddy!
They should joint King Kong with Planet of the apes and include Chewbacca. Since Starwars and 20th Century Fox both belong to Disney now, this I find, is the right step to make.
Wait James Newton Howard composed Batman begins and the dark knight? Thought is was Hans Zimmer
They collaborated on Begins and Dark Knight. However, James decided Batman belonged more to Hans than him, so he decided not to compose Dark Knight Rises with Hans.
kong literally ripped out the skull crawller organs by grabbing the insides of its body king kong just snaps its jaw and ripped out the tounge
I agree with everything you say aside from the soundtrack, because the two are not comparable: King Kong's s OST is a full orchestra-played instrumental 3h-long score mostly aiming to set the mood for the scenes; Skull Island's is also thought to blend in with and help set the movie' "historical" setting - that's why it contains a couple of rock songs from the '70s. They're two very different types of soundtrack, because the starting idea was different, so imo they can't really be compared.
Also, don't mean to offend....but don't you think your opinions might not be entirely objective because of the strong impact Peter Jackson's King Kong had on your child's mind?
I think people nowadays tend to let their inner children get the better of them.
They're both good movies but if I have to choose which one I like, I like Peter Jacksons King Kong
If you want a sad monster movie with quite good effects watch King Kong
If you want a great action movie with just that and great effects watch KKSI

Kong skull island is a more enjoyable film
Now that u carefully analyze both films i think I'm going to watch them again to compare
One of my favourite parts about Kong: Skull Island is Kong himself! He's gigantic, and I kinda actually sympathised with him in that one scene, and his battles with Skull Crawlers were awesome! And I did kinda like that he wasn't killed at the end, he was pretty cool, and the scene where he helps the sker buffalo was very intimidating to me, and when he destroyed the helicopters, it did kinda remind me of The Hulk, as he just destroys them by punching them, similar to the Hulk, so, even though I prefer 2017's Kong, I still agree that Peter Jackson's King Kong is great, I like them both
Alright I actually kind of like both movies to be honest I mean sure King Kong 2005 it had the original story but that was the problem with me it was just the same story over and over again Kong Skull Island tried to do something different and I'm really excited for Godzilla vs King Kong and the other monsterverse movies after that Godzilla vs. Kong I like Jack Black from 2005 but I also like John Goodman and Samuel Jackson in Skull Island I mean sure people might call them forgettable but the first time I watch it it was fun I mean to be fair I think the reason why they didn't show Godzilla that much in the 2014 movie because in the original movies he did take his time I love the monsters in both movies the V Rex the giant insects from 2005 but I also like the skull Crawlers and the skier Buffalo Andover roll and I kind of like Skull Island with it's action and trying to connect to the monsterverse and there are a lot of problems in 2005 and Skull Island but overall I like them both and that's my opinion and that's all it is have a nice day sir
darkman 420 That's perfectly fine. I respect your opinion and I'm glad you enjoyed the movie. Have an awesome day too buddy!
The Kong in the 2017 reboot was done via motion capture as well, by Terry Notary.
Henry Stanley actually it was by Toby kebbel
2005 version of course but I wish it was on Netflix
these 2 films have a special meaning to me. i can't choose one over the other. they're both great films in my opinion.
So pracitically King Kong is a masterpiece with tons of style, personality and emotion where Skull Island is monster movie created for the upcoming crossover...
Bias much?
That's how I feel. I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks so
First Name Last Name
Really?
In my honest opinion, I don't like "Kong: Skull Island" on the exact same level as Peter Jackson's film, but I do enjoy it as it's own thing (starring Kong, of course).
My counter points.
While I respect you thinking that the Americans dropping bombs in skull island was meant to be portrayed as morally right, and the movies suffers as a result. You're wrong, it's stated that what Packard and the other soldiers did was wrong, Kong's actions in killing the men was completely justified.
Also, what's the point in comparing these movies? King Kong 2005 is trying to be a faithful retelling of the original, while Skull Island is more just for fun.
10:29 Well, to be fair, Anne in the original changed appearance quite often as well, as her hair would suddenly look neat after climbing out of a river.
True but at least they kept some of the clothes dirty
This is a good review but there are two major points of contention I have with it:
(1) The portrayal of American armed forces
(2) The actions scenes
So about Hollywood's portrayal of the American military... I think you have things a little backwards. Americans are NOT given some sort of pass for being imperialistic and destructive, and if there is a double standard between America's actions and those of other cultures as depicted in most movies, it is a double standard that works AGAINST America. Avatar was not "Avant guard" for portraying American forces as bullies with an itchy trigger finger and zero sense of responsibility; it was actually a very stereotypical depiction of the military created entirely by people who don't understand international conflict, diplomacy, or even the ability to make a cost benefit analysis. In short, Hollywood is both ignorant of, and venomous towards the military in general, but none more so than the American Military, who will ALWAYS be depicted as violent aggressors with no nuance to speak of. Hollywood kind of hates the country that has fostered them since their inception.
The action scenes... were laughably bad throughout most of the Peter Jackson King Kong. I know I know, apostasy, but lets get real for a moment; everything that happens on Skull Island in the Jackson version looks like it could have been clipped out of an episode of The Flinstones. The dinosaurs look HORRIBLE, the humans appear to be floating in front of characters from a hanna barbera cartoon, and that fight with the three T-Rexes... MY GOD! That fight deserves a special place in hell! Long after Happy Days jumped the shark, but many years before Indiana Jones 4 nuked the fridge, Kong "fought the Rex". That whole scene was laughably ridiculous the second you realize the amount of trouble even one Rex is willing to go through to eat a woman who amounts to a single chicken nugget... it burned more calories in the chase than she ever could have replenished, but it only goes down hill from there. Did I say down hill? I meant DOWN MOUNTAIN. Yes, all three Rexes continued fighting down the side of a mountain all the while snapping at the woman who, as aforementioned, amounted to the nutritional value of a chicken nugget to their massive bodies... come to think of it, were they going to share the meager bit of meat clinging to her thighs, or throw down with each other after falling off a mountain and battling Kong to the death? Maybe Peter Jackson should have tried watching animal planet to see how predators in the wild really relate to one another. Most fights are strategically avoided unless there is something significant to gain... hope that nugget was worth it all!
King Kong hands down I was so excited for skull island after I saw King Kong but skull island didn't live up to my childhood memories
Josh Talavera except it wasn't trying to be like the original it was supposed to be its own thing and a set up for GVK
I liked Kong skull island better because it took the original classic but made it refined and unique Kong actually was in control rather than at the mercy of humans and was worshiped rather than feared this kong was more of a being than a beast and survived his movie than tragically killed off plus this kong was also used in motion capture by Toby Kebbell who also did motion capture for koba the shakespeare-Ian ape from the planet of the apes trilogy and I did feel for the kong.
I love King King, in my opinion isthe best movie aside from the 33 classic, but kong Scoul Island isn't that bad, it is my 3rd favourite kong movie
I like Kong skull Island better.
2:44 You are not suppose to feel sorry for them. The film wants you to like seeing them die
You couldn't make KING KONG today -- he's too short to enthrall contemporary audiences.
I agreed with literally everything you had to say in this video, until the Batman v. Superman diss. Apart from that though, the 2005 film is easily a superior film in every meaningful way. I actually consider it Peter Jackson's best movie by far.
Jackman’s soundtrack for winter soldier is surprisingly good
Wow wow wow... don't be disrespecting my man Henry like that. He's made freaking KINGSMAN.
And his MCU scores are some of my favorite scores, have you listened to civil war and winter soldier?
@@stijnvandenheuvel8117 The Winter Soldier theme rivals 'Why So Serious?'
the 2005 king kong is the tragic story 2017 was just goes straight into but no monevasion
I totally agree with you,but I want to mention that I found the other monsters in Skull Island very creative and visually stunning.
I do agree. Visually it was stunning but it was very similar in design to the Cloverfield monster. Especially with its long stick-like legs. Thanks for watching and commenting buddy!
If Kong 2017 used 2005's fighting style, he would've beaten the skull crawler so easily (biting, breaking jaws and smashing against walls)
That's a good point. He would have won the fights easier.
For example when 2017 has the skullcrawlers jaw open with the tongue exposed, he could've bitten it off like 2005 did to the V-Rex. Also, I want the new king to walk like a gorilla and not upright
4:06 King kong vs godzilla: Am i a joke to you
Just watched King Kong and it's so much better than Skull Island, wow.
