Bradley, why can't you get over it that many people actually like this movie?

I will admit, after actually seeing the film, it won't be able to post Titanic-type numbers, although it is still good and should have strong legs either way. It's a little late to say it won't be like Titanic, but one really needs to see the film for themself to decide whether or not it can do that well. The ending is much too depressing, and although the Kong/Darrow relationship is great, it lacks that suave male lead like Titanic.

BacktotheFuture wrote: Hmm, no wonder people don't like you Bradley. You're a dick. Now that is flat out rude. I was joking about the french man's comment that his was the "first real review".
Even though this thread is filled with many off-topic comments, including some by me (see my stat post on page 11), there have been a significant number of real reviews throughout this thread, both positive and negative. To explain my joke, if you click on the link, it goes to a page called "How to Recognize a Narcissist", a slight but humorous comment on the french man's intro comment (in which I'm sure he was joking too).
I'm sorry that you needed to have this explained to you BacktotheFuture, but I hope that you can understand my intent now...

Dude.
When he said first real review, he meant his first real review, meaning that's the first time he's written a review on KJ as a user here.

(That doesn't excuse BacktotheFuture's rudeness though!)

Terrible joke, seeing no one got it. No I wasn't saying all the other reviews were invalid, I was saying it was my first FULL review, like Shack explained.

(Though, had the joke actually been relevant, I might venture to say it was slightly better than terrible - just too subtlely delivered... )

For what it's worth, despite bradley being wrong about Kong, he usually has pretty good taste, so I don't get all the hate. :O
Also, I got the "joke". :O

If my joy had been spilling over, it wouldn't have gotten a B+, although I admit it's fairly positive. Any opinions on the review? I really wouldn't mind a critique from anyone who would volunteer.

Can't believe french man's original comment of "first real review" could be mistaken. what's this obsession to jump all over someone with different opinion? it especially looks dumb when something like this happens.

There are some film projects that are just a little bit to ambitious for any director
After a long voyage, the crew arrives at the long-forgotten and mythical Skull Island. As the crew begins to set up to film the movie, they are attacked by the natives, who soon seize Anne. While Jack and Carl believe Anne is dead
I doubt they would have ventured into the jungle to look for a corpse.
While, as stated, it is not a disaster, nor overall is it a bad film,
You actually stated neither prior to this sentence. You did say it "fails consistently throughout".
