Well the Atomic Breath is bound to come out at some point unless the process in which it's made filters out radiation. Which I guess could make sense since if these giant beasts feed off radiation he'd possibly just be giving them more energy. Something I never noticed in the first trailer for Skull Island, love that shot with the helicopters and the dragonfly that starts out looking like a helicopter but comes in to focus as a mere fly. Much like the helicopters and humans are to Kong himself. So far this is probably the movie I'm most excited for in 2017 even though there are so many good ones coming out. |

What other movies are you excited for? |

Like everything apart from Pirates of the Caribbean, Fast and Furious, Beauty and the Beast and Despicable Me 3 because NO WE DON'T NEED MORE MINION MERCHANDISE NO And films I didn't even know are coming out, naturally. I just feel like the West has been lacking in the good monster movie department. Pacific Rim was good but it wasn't so much a monster movie as it was an action movie with monsters in it. Beyond that there's just...Cloverfield really. 'Bout damn time we got back to AAA blockbuster monster movies. |

There's the King Kong series. That's the best you got to compete with Japan. And Korea, because The Host was really good, and who knows when they'll make another one like that. |

The fact that those humanoid-looking dinosaurs appeared makes me think Gaw will appear aswell. Hm? Who's "Gaw" you ask? Well he's the dinosaur that killed most of Kong's race and the one the savages treated like an immortal God before Kong arrived. I'm not liking the fact that there's unnecessary and forced comedy in this movie. Edited by Darker, Nov 17 2016, 04:33 PM.

Yeahhh when the dude from Stepbrothers showed up my instant reaction was "Oh. He's in it" and he was exactly as I expected. Hopefully he doesn't have many more lines than the trailer showed. Please don't ruin it with unnecessary humour...please God. A bit of levity in a movie like this is good of course but hopefully the writers understand that there can be far too much. The action looks pretty good anyway, hopefully it doesn't take us 40 minutes to even see Kong in this one. Peter Jacksons already done that and we had to wait ages for Godzilla too, give us Kong! Also is it just me or does Kong look kinda small? Maybe it's just hard to get a sense of scale in the trailers but he looks smaller than that shot of him standing against the sky in the first trailer. Definitely looks small compared to Godzilla, we knew he would be but he seems a bit too small. Could be a young Kong though this is some 40 years prior to Godzilla. |

Yeah, that's what some fans have speculated, that this is a juvenile Kong, or a member from his species. I feel the opposite, he looks much bigger than 100ft tall. Maybe that's just him in four legs. This design is cool and all but I miss Peter Jackson's look, that Kong looked like he had gone through a lot of hunting and had fought tons of dinosaurs, he had scars everywhere while this one doesn't seem to have a scratch on him. I'm kinda excited if they include Gaw, he's pretty badass. You thought the Vastatosauri were bad news? Just wait until this guy shows up. It'd make sense for him to show up, he killed Kong's parents, though if the natives already treat him like a God, I assume Gaw is already dead, or is non-existent in this universe.

Well unless they have nukes or some seriously heavy duty missiles I doubt they'll be able to do anything to Kong so it'd make sense for this Gaw to be there. Yeah Peter Jacksons was way cooler looking, however he wasn't as big in comparison to the other creatures as this Kong so it does make sense that he's not as scarred. He is King on that island. Maybe Gaw is locked up somewhere in a cavern or whatever and the humans will release him? That makes sense, no doubt the natives will have paintings explaining about Gaw. Kong's species died locking him away and then Kong has to defeat him in this movie and then...move on to bigger lizards. Hell yeah. If that is the case lets hope that for once the trailers don't freaking spoil it, it'd be nice to be surprised by a movie. Even horror movies ruin their best jumpscares

I'm expecting this Kong to be at least bulletproof.
Yeah, but it's not the same. PJ's Kong earned his right to be king of Skull Island, this one doesn't seem to have any reason to prove why he's king, unless he's killed Gaw already, but then I feel like we need a big threat for Kong to fight in this movie, similar to the M.U.T.O.s to Godzilla, and it can't be just some random dumb giant dinosaur like those Vastatosaurus rexes, it's got to be either a really big mutant or a member of Godzilla's species (now that'd be interesting). Or Gaw. It can't just be these tiny "skull crawlers", these don't seem to pose a threat for Kong. They must have a queen of sorts, or an alpha. But I find it hard to believe that the leader of these things would be THAT much bigger, enough to compete with Kong or something, so it's gotta be Gaw.
Funny you say it like that, Gaw actually forced the newborn Kong to hide in a cave for years after Gaw killed his parents and every member of his species, until Kong got big enough and took down Gaw by stabbing him with a rock. I previously mentioned Gaw because in the comics he had these raptor-like followers, the "Death Runners", which helped Gaw kill Kong's parents. These skull crawlers look and act kinda similar so that's why I think Gaw is in this movie. Because there really is no other giant monster he could fight, unless Legendary got the rights to one of the Toho monsters Kong fought in the japanese movies, Gorosaurus.
It's a shame both this movie and the Godzilla reboot had to show the monster's appearance before the movie came out. I'm not complaining though, of course not.
Yeah... That last jumpscare in this trailer was pretty terrible. I imagine there's gonna be a few 3D scenes like that which is just going to be the characters or objects flying into the camera. That's going to get annoying. |

I hope they've picked Gaw, that Gorosaurus would be a bit similar to fighting Godzilla considering their designs. Gaw looks a bit different, as do these smaller critters so he or someone else works best. Kong being locked up in a cave like that for his original story makes what I suggested seem pretty legit. Hopefully this Kong isn't a King quite yet and his first big battle is Gaw. Wonder where Godzilla vs Kong will take place then. Setting it on Skull Island takes a lot of the human element out of it but how would Kong get elsewhere? Godzilla ended on him being the good guy but I'm sure the US military as per usual will have doubts about that. Perhaps Kong has been waiting 30+ years for a new challenge. Hopefully this movie gets another King Kong game made, the Peter Jackson one is like one of if not the only good video game based on a movie. Switching from being a shooter to fighting giant beasts as Kong was damn cool. |

This looks so much better than the Peter Jackson movie. With John Goodman in it, I'm going. |

Yeah he's great, I hope his performance makes John C. Reilly bearable. Don't give the goofy "funny" guy the most lines...please... |

These aren't exactly news, but for those who are interested, Toby Kebbell is going to play Kong through motion-capture. http://www.slashfilm.com/skull-island-king-kong-actor/ Toby Kebbell is mostly known for playing Koba in the recent planet of the Apes movies. I would've preferred Andy Serkis for this, he gave Kong so much more personality than every other movie before the 2005 remake. Also damn, those Planet of the Apes movies ain't got nothing on King Kong, CGI-wise. |

Yeah it's kinda crazy how much better some movies look despite being 10 or more years older. Like Terminator 2, some of it's CGI looks way better than Genysis'... I'm fine with it not being Andy, this Kong doesn't need to be as gorilla-like since he's very different to your average silverback. Andy seems suited to being on his hands and feet most. I wonder if Kong will have as epic a roar as Legendary Godzilla? It'll be hard to top that last one where he comes out of the smoke/dust and roars down Chinatown. Also just realized, it'd be hilarious to see this Kong try climb up the Empire State building he'd just knock it the hell down

Kong should get his 2005 roar back. The new one sounds similar but I feel like they've ripped it off The Incredible Hulk movie. Watch the trailer again and you'll realize it sounds very similar to Hulk's roars in the 2008 movie.
It'd be cool (assuming their fight happens in New York) if Kong dropped and pushed the Empire State Building on Legendary Godzilla. |
