I remember seeing this at the cinema when I was 11 years old, and loads of Dad's clearly brought their toddlers to the theatre, and some kid just LOST IT when the bug scene started, screaming and crying like crazy. It sent a wave of terror through the cinema to the point where the whole audience was just reeling in disgust and terror, yelling and shouting out screen. Coolest cinema experience of my life still.
That’s pretty cool. I could see bringing a kid to this, like I would’ve loved this as a kid. I even had a 4 year old I’d babysit and he’d plonk down and sit quietly anytime it was on. What I don’t get and will never understand is the guy who brought his 6 year old to see Joker on opening night in 2019.
I was like 25 when I saw this movie, and although at the time I was just out of the hospital and drugged out the wazoo, I still can't watch the bug scene. Even the name of my chronic illness is "Scared the $h!7 out of me" Disease. And no I'm honestly not joking (Crohn's, but same thing)
"I paid 8 dollars or 6 dollars and 50 cents depending on the time we are watching this movie if im going to shit myself it'll be in the seats I paid for!"
This is one of my favourite movies idc. The CGI is fantastic, the acting was solid especially from Naomi Watts, the soundtrack is phenomenal and I still listen to it to this day, and I will never not cry when Kong dies
@@Golgari213 it’s wrong that different people can enjoy different movies and that’s okay? Wow, you apparently woke up and actively chose to live your entire life as a miserable person

I gotta say, even though this film is super indulgent, Peter Jackson's passion for the project is visible throughout and that makes it all the better. It feels properly epic, and even though I'm sure you could edit it down to a brisk 120 min, I am glad we got the Peter-Jackson-forgot-how-to-make-a-regular-movie-after-LOTR version of this story.
@@lycoonx.m I used to babysit the neighbors son and anytime he got fussy or overstimulated I put on King Kong or anything Batman and he’d plonk right down and watch quietly until it was over.
I think the line is great, cos you can take it as sincere, or if you don't like that kinda thing you can just be like nah jack blacks character would say this cringe shit
This remains my favorite version of Kong to date. People give it crap for being long, but it needs to be in order to establish character. By the end of the film, you're so attached to the story that it pulls you in and breaks your heart. I can't think of any movie in the past 16 years which has done that as efficiently as this film has. My favorite parts are actually in the first third, before they even get to the island. It has great establishing groundwork to the characters and fills you with unease right alongside of the crew. I just rewatched this again last week and I still can't get enough.
The bit with the bug pit is one of the few bits in a film to genuinely traumatise me. The bit where the worm comes down over Andy Serkis's head is the worst.
That bit always put me off because Serkis' character's machete-wielding arm is completely free and he has more than enough room to manoeuvre it so he can chop at the worms and free himself (and they're also quite slow), yet for some reason he just kind of limply flails it without hitting anything. It makes more sense now knowing there wasn't any choreography and they were told to randomly fight the air, but it's one of the few parts that didn't work for me, even at the time.
As a biologist who majored in ecology, I love the bug pit scene! (My husband, an engineer, finds it horrible and always leaves the room when we watch the movie at home. 😁) In the movie theatre, I played "name the species of invetebrate" during that scene. Apart from the size, those arthropods and invertebrates are spot-on... I dissected the tiny real world counterparts of some of those worms during my time a university student. 😉
Not gonna lie when i first watched Peter Jackson's King Kong in cinemas when I'm like 11 at that time i didn't actually care on how long the movie is i watched the movie just to see a Big Gorilla smashing things, Beats some Terrifying Creatures, and kidnaps a very beautiful girl who ended up having a wholesome relationship with a Big Gorilla Then years later i bought a physical copy of the movie, i rewatched it again and i just realized that they intentionally make the movie long just to establish the backstories of the characters and they established most of characters' backstory very well and that's the reason why i loved the movie even more
This was the first movie I almost shat myself to. I *hated* those wierd rock velociraptor things, and even to this day I sometimes have nightmares about those fuckin' things. Also they killed an old guy and bad things happening to old people makes me sad.
This movie is so underrated, man. So epic and emotional, it's unbelievable how many things work in this one. I got the too-long criticism, but damn... this is KING KONG. Deal with it!
Saw this with my dad, and I was completely blown away by the visuals! It's Epic, 188 minutes! It took them 15 years to make this movie happen. The Extended Edition is 13 minutes longer.
If you’d believe it, there’s actually an EVEN LONGER extended version of this. It’s 13 more minutes and it adds in 2 more action scenes. I think it’s got hijinks with a stegosaurus and some creepy water creatures? It’s been a while since I’ve seen it. It’s all right.

But glancing back at this it's incredible how much power and mass he was able to give to this Kong, as a gorilla at that. Personality, strength, agility alongside bulk, it's a heck of a performance. In stage and drama he's a powerhouse, he's kind of been the singular groundbreaker regarding how old "stage puppet" acting is now merged into film. That and he's now mocap'd two famous MonkE.

I grew up with this movie. This is where my brain goes when someone mentions King Kong. I love this movie so much. I have a nostalgic conection with it and I love it. The bug scene haunted my 7 year old self for days. I still watched it over and over.
I love that T-Rex fight (V-Rex!) and the end of it where he kills the one and plays with its jaw, and how that's pretty much just taken from the original King Kong movie.
My problem with that scene is that they turn V. Rexes into mindless monsters that don't have any sense of self preservation and wast all they energy for wanting to eat some woman.
I'm surprised you were able to watch PG-13 at that age. First one I saw in the theatre was Spider-Man in 2002 when I was 7. But yes, I and my packed cinema cried a lot at the end of this.
*snaps her fingers* That bugged the crap out of me too! But I guess they were like "Well hell's bells Margaret, we've had juicy crocodile all month, let's see if that little crumpet looking thing is saucy!"
I'm just assuming that a small morsel that can't fight back is easier to eat than, you know, an 8 meter long crocodile And then when Kong pops up, dinos need to say "hey! We live here! Get outta here!"
They invented an entire fictional "natural history" for their take on Skull Island, and the short version is that evolution on the island has spent millions of years in a hyper-aggressive, hyper-competitive cycle. All of the predators are just suuuuuper vicious, basically, and the v-rexes in particular have a generational feud with Kong and his ancestors (each species is, essentially, the only natural predator of the other).
Hi hungry friends! I find surprisingly that I get hungry when watching Godzilla and Jurassic Park. Anyway yeah I think everybody is right, "it's movie monsters" "hyper predators" (which actually do exist, lots of preds actually regurgitate their meals to hunt again. Not me, not after Dominoes especially) so yay! Internet leads to learnings!! Be safe everyone!
god I really love to hear you two dumbasses just giggle your way through films, y'all are so fucking underrated, always full of wit and dry humor, every video I see from you always makes me smile
Honestly, whenever I'm feeling down or something, I just watch an old Mr Sunday video that I haven't watched in a while & it always cheers me up. Love their humor & banter And I love that they don't take the fandom stuff nearly as seriously as other UA-camrs that I've seen.
It still genuinely impresses me how well a lot of the CGI and effects in this movie hold up for 2005. There are still some...iffy moments here and there, the stampede scene is...probably the most infamous example, but a lot of it still looks great.
I wasn't around yet in 1993, so watching this film in 2005 on the big screen when I was 11, it was like experiencing my Jurassic Park. And oddly enough I wasn't bored by the running time, I ate it all up and rewatched it several times on DVD.
We need more of these level of monsterverse. Godzilla vs Gigan or Destroyah. While watching the movie, I thought it was too long for my kid. My kid pulled me when the movie moved to Brazil. He says "This is going to be epic". That just made me happy 😀 as a family we enjoyed it. The people who worked on the movie should be very proud that they made an amazing movie for the fans.
I remember playing the video game of this movie all summer when it came out. Even there, the sheet effort really showed with it easily being the best movie-adapted video game I've ever played.
I grew up watching the original with my grandparents, saw this in theaters as a teenager, and loved it. I haven’t watched it very recently, but at the time it made me actually weep. I was enraptured, lol.
I saw this in theaters when I was 17 and I can’t remember being so enraptured by the action and wondering how much longer the movie could go on before in my life
that bug sceen preticularly the bit where the guy is eaten by worms genuinely gave me PTSD when i saw that as a 7 year old i still genuinely see it too this day and still have issues with worms
Saying it here again, I saw it when I was 25 and on hospital drugs, and I still can't watch it. I can't even really THINK about it. I did have one single special effects neuron in my brain yelling "Andy's head didn't deform at all while the worm sucked down onto his face," and then every other neuron starts screaming "SHUT THE H3LL UP!!!!" Be safe my BigFish Taco-y friend! Avoid dem worms!
This film is a fucking masterpiece. It’s my favorite film after Jurassic Park and I will defend it with my life. I love that it’s 3 hours long. Hell, I’d watch an 8 hour version of it.
@@viddork and I just noticed you're just being a grammar nazi for the fun of it ? Whe they mention in the videos they dont read the comments It's because of people like you

Just love the performance by Andy as Kong and you really feel for him at the end and absolutely love the clouding effect they glaze over his eyes you can see the moment life leaves him it's beautiful yet horrible all at once.

He's barely in Godzilla vs. Kong. Pretty disappointing.
You probably just assumed it was Ron Livingston. The two were pretty interchangeable at the time this came out.
When he does the comb bit all I can see is Archer.
Multiverse confirmed!
King Kong playing with the T-Rex's broken jaw after he kills it is a direct callback to the original King Kong movie, in which he does the same thing.
The bit with the bug pit is one of the few bits in a film to genuinely traumatise me. The bit where the worm comes down over Andy Serkis's head is the worst.
Honestly, I think the idea of being eaten by giant bugs is terrifying.
Seriously. I've seen loads of straight up horror films that don't even come close to being as distressing as that scene.
That bit always put me off because Serkis' character's machete-wielding arm is completely free and he has more than enough room to manoeuvre it so he can chop at the worms and free himself (and they're also quite slow), yet for some reason he just kind of limply flails it without hitting anything.

I love that T-Rex fight (V-Rex!) and the end of it where he kills the one and plays with its jaw, and how that's pretty much just taken from the original King Kong movie.
My problem with that scene is that they turn V. Rexes into mindless monsters that don't have any sense of self preservation and wast all they energy for wanting to eat some woman.
Yup I remember that from watching the original on TV about 1972, I was about 6 i think
That scene where Andy Serkis’s character gets eaten by those... worms? Traumatized me so badly as a kid😂
Worms on steroids
"I could take or leave the big monkey stuff".
So... the King Kong parts of King Kong?

Jablinski Games is the best part of this movie.
Dude.....can you change your name? Totally not concerned about the content it's the spelling of Michael that's bugging me. 🤣
@@angbald gotcha mate, whats funny is I've had this name for like 6 years now and no one (including me) has ever noticed. lol
Day one of asking for sky high to be covered
I have a soft spot for this movie, saw it in cinemas when I was 11. The sense of mystery and adventure for the boat and island parts was amazing.
This movie is my main guilty pleasure. For some bizarre reason, I love all three movies they have crammed in here
I've never thought of it as 3 separate movies, but that is absolutely right and I would like all of those movies!.. separately
HBO MAX miniseries perhaps
Maybe that was a thing people said to Peter Jackson and that's how he got inspiration for the hobbit trilogy
you can literally make 6 33-minute episodes out of it, lol (going only by time obviously, not by structure)
I saw this movie when I was 5 years old it was amazing and I honestly cried for kong at the end.
I'm surprised you were able to watch PG-13 at that age.
First one I saw in the theatre was Spider-Man in 2002 when I was 7.
But yes, I and my packed cinema cried a lot at the end of this.
When you were five?! How did you even pay attention for that long let alone make it through the bug pit? ?
Perhaps the real "King Kong 2005 - Monkey Maclunkey" are the friends we made along the way.
King Kong 2005 is a masterpiece.
i will never understand why the trio Trex was so adamant about eating a small woman, especially when they had a fat juicy crocodile
*snaps her fingers* That bugged the crap out of me too! But I guess they were like "Well hell's bells Margaret, we've had juicy crocodile all month, let's see if that little crumpet looking thing is saucy!"
I'm just assuming that a small morsel that can't fight back is easier to eat than, you know, an 8 meter long crocodile
And then when Kong pops up, dinos need to say "hey! We live here! Get outta here!"
They invented an entire fictional "natural history" for their take on Skull Island, and the short version is that evolution on the island has spent millions of years in a hyper-aggressive, hyper-competitive cycle. All of the predators are just suuuuuper vicious, basically, and the v-rexes in particular have a generational feud with Kong and his ancestors (each species is, essentially, the only natural predator of the other).
@@crazydude610 funny thing they killed it easily and one of them was chasing her while the dead body was in its mouth
Hi hungry friends! I find surprisingly that I get hungry when watching Godzilla and Jurassic Park.
Anyway yeah I think everybody is right, "it's movie monsters" "hyper predators" (which actually do exist, lots of preds actually regurgitate their meals to hunt again. Not me, not after Dominoes especially) so yay! Internet leads to learnings!! Be safe everyone!
King Kong 2005 is Just A Masterpiece ✨🖤
I JUST realized that Godzilla vs Kong is the second time Kyle Chandler was in a King Kong movie
Fascinating. Was that before or after you were told that exact fact?
@@Doomchild2XL before unfortunately
Same, never realized it before
He’s one of those familiar faces that always pops up and adds depth to the story. Even when there’s giant monkeys and lizards
He is funny in Catch-22 hulu show
League of extraordinary gentlemen!!! Can’t get more 2003 than that
*I use that “butter over too much bread” line almost every day of my life...Happy Days!😄🧈🍞*
Maybe you should buy more butter, or get smaller bread.
Ironically the 2005 version was more thrilling and the scenes were more horrifying than the big CGI monke we get in later years
Although the Skull-Crawler was pretty impressive in the new Kong movie.
@@vice.nor.virtue I prefer the V-Redes over the Skullcrawlers tbh
god I really love to hear you two dumbasses just giggle your way through films, y'all are so fucking underrated, always full of wit and dry humor, every video I see from you always makes me smile
^
Honestly, whenever I'm feeling down or something, I just watch an old Mr Sunday video that I haven't watched in a while & it always cheers me up. Love their humor & banter
And I love that they don't take the fandom stuff nearly as seriously as other UA-camrs that I've seen.
Big agree. Always lift my mood.
Their podcast is gold too
I love them
I think we can all agree that the real king kong 2005 - caravan of garbage is the friends we made along the way
"look at this..gorilla"
"very good, we love this"
The Piers Morgan placement was perfect 😂
Mason with that Silmarillion line, I swear. I love these two building on each other's setups. Brilliant.
Love the banter of these lads
@@saintniccage2818 And this editing complementing it, too. The synergy is something to behold.
It still genuinely impresses me how well a lot of the CGI and effects in this movie hold up for 2005.
There are still some...iffy moments here and there, the stampede scene is...probably the most infamous example, but a lot of it still looks great.
James said he loves Jack Black and he’s lying unless you do Tenacious D in the Pick of Destiny
I wasn't around yet in 1993, so watching this film in 2005 on the big screen when I was 11, it was like experiencing my Jurassic Park. And oddly enough I wasn't bored by the running time, I ate it all up and rewatched it several times on DVD.
This was the first movie that ever made me cry
I absolutely bawl at this movie every time
Free Willy got there first for me lol
For me, it was the first film I cried to in the theatre (I was 10).
I felt so guilty even though many kids in the room were crying as well LOL
We need more of these level of monsterverse. Godzilla vs Gigan or Destroyah. While watching the movie, I thought it was too long for my kid. My kid pulled me when the movie moved to Brazil. He says "This is going to be epic". That just made me happy 😀 as a family we enjoyed it. The people who worked on the movie should be very proud that they made an amazing movie for the fans.
They should release this review on Jaz, an under appreciated storage medium for it’s time.
I remember playing the video game of this movie all summer when it came out. Even there, the sheet effort really showed with it easily being the best movie-adapted video game I've ever played.
Now that you’ve done this you MUST review all Peter Jackson Films like LORD OF THE RINGS AND THE HOBBIT
Well, they’re all on 4KHDR now so maybe when it gets closer to the 20th anniversary of fellowship
I want to see them do Meet the Feebles.
I think I watched this movie like 7 times over the course of a 3 month period in 2013 and I liked it.
knowing the editor watches anime makes me happy
Weeb
@@australianwi-fi
Specifically, an anime weeb.
Some how, anime weebs are feeling uneasy with Tokusatsu weebs.
However, King Kong was eating and chewing humans way before Shingeki no Kyojin-Attack On Titan.
15 year old spotted
@@Ash01010 I'm 22 lmao
This movie also has a surprisingly good tie-in video game on the Playstation 2 and X Box.
I grew up watching the original with my grandparents, saw this in theaters as a teenager, and loved it.
I haven’t watched it very recently, but at the time it made me actually weep. I was enraptured, lol.
I also loved this movie when I watched
That’s Peter Jackson’s specialty lol
It too was the first film I cried at on the theatre. A good amount of my full house audience was too.
@@RB01.10 the ice skating scene though :((((
Jackson squeezed as much life out this classic as narratively possible.
I clicked in seconds😂😂
Edit: was hoping for a more positive review🥲
I love this movie😭😭😭
Honestly, apart from the super long runtime & a few noticeable effects/CGI criticism, this is one of their more positive reviews
I love this movie its one of my favourites from the 2005
Thank you both for your light-hearted take on everything. Times are dark, and it's nice to escape that. Y'all rock.
I love that Ben's getting so much use out of WandaVision. I can't imagine any of the upcoming MCU series will be as context free relatable.
I saw this in theaters when I was 17 and I can’t remember being so enraptured by the action and wondering how much longer the movie could go on before in my life
Watch this movie on mushrooms. It’ll change your life
that bug sceen preticularly the bit where the guy is eaten by worms genuinely gave me PTSD when i saw that as a 7 year old i still genuinely see it too this day and still have issues with worms
Saying it here again, I saw it when I was 25 and on hospital drugs, and I still can't watch it. I can't even really THINK about it. I did have one single special effects neuron in my brain yelling "Andy's head didn't deform at all while the worm sucked down onto his face," and then every other neuron starts screaming "SHUT THE H3LL UP!!!!" Be safe my BigFish Taco-y friend! Avoid dem worms!
Ahh
@@wren7195 It's almost scarier that his face didn't deform. He's fucking suffocating while a worm slowly swallow his face more and more.
i particularly like how the worms' mouths extend out of their bodies like dog penises
This film is a fucking masterpiece. It’s my favorite film after Jurassic Park and I will defend it with my life. I love that it’s 3 hours long. Hell, I’d watch an 8 hour version of it.
I miss these kind of blockbusters now it's all superheroes.
I saw this around my 12th birthday and i didnt even realise it was so long at the time. Just a solid film
Do the 2002 Steve Irwin cheesy action movie Crocodile Hunter Collision Course
You guys should do a caravan of garbage for The Frighteners. I love that movie and not many people talk about it
Jamie Bell is just 2005 Tom Holland with a less good agent.
"This ring's fuckin' me up, mate!" Is my favorite LotR quote.
Ben's editing of these videos is always amazing
Can't wait for the James & Maso to review the superior 2017 Kong Skull Island.
I thought what I needed was to go to sleep, turns out what I really needed was to leave a like.
My 7 year old mind was able to watch this movie on repeat daily 😂
I Hope Ben gets paid more than you two , his edits are the bees knees
What difference does it make who gets paid first?
@@viddork I never said first. I said more
@@maxsoap5650 You said Ben, then the others. That means Ben first. That's how "then" works.
@@viddork my comment
I hope ben gets PAID MORE THAN you....
.....MORE THAN..
@@viddork and I just noticed you're just being a grammar nazi for the fun of it ? Whe they mention in the videos they dont read the comments It's because of people like you
Wait until James Cameron’s Avatar Extravaganza’s come out annually and you garbage those caravans. They’ll be the longest.
I loved this movie and saw it in theaters twice and bought it on dvd when it came out and watched it in my room on a portable dvd player several time haha. Just love the performance by Andy as Kong and you really feel for him at the end and absolutely love the clouding effect they glaze over his eyes you can see the moment life leaves him it's beautiful yet horrible all at once.
You guys should absolutely cover the LOTR trilogy. I have no idea why you haven’t at this point 😂😂
