    And, with that being common knowledge about trailers for the last several years, why would you watch them if you don't want things spoiled...?

    Again though, for this movie... It's about King Kong and they showed King Kong. The Dr. Strange trailer showed Dr. Strange. Should I be pissed about that too?

      With Dr. Strange, it's going to be the storyline. Marvel movies are generally great because the story is great. With KK, you pretty much know the story, so the look and effects are going to be the attraction.

      But you make a good point about the trailers. Maybe I'll just look for teasers from now on and leave it at that.

          I actually thought based on the comments he was going to be jumping around and stuff. I feel like they showed the perfect amount of him, you don't even get a really clear shot of him full body.

          My complaint is his size, I understand he's big because he has to be able to fight Godzilla, but is he too big to climb buildings? I feel like his mobility was going to be a big factor in the fight and don't understand how him being this huge will work out. I think I read on reddit that he was 24 feet in the Peter Jackson movie because any bigger and you wouldn't be able to see the person he's holding in his hand. It'll be interesting to see how him being almost 5 times as big as that will play into it.

              For once I would love for Kong to wipe out the arrogant god-ego humans that go and terrorize him.

                I'm salivating for Godzilla vs Kong. What will Kong do to counter Godzilla's nuclear blast?

                  Re: Skull Island- King Kong (2016)

                  I am so in. I love King Kong. My dad showed me the original when I was 6 years old before taking me to see the 1976 remake (which is great campy fun and Jessica Lange was freaking hotness!!!) I have every Kong film (yep the incredibly cheese infested hot garbage known as Kong Lives) The Japanese comedy known as King Kong Escapes, and the awful Godzilla vs King Kong.

                  This is setting up to be Kong vs Godzilla obviously.

                  I am one who thoroughly enjoyed Peter Jackson's vision. He was pretty faithful to the time period of the 1933 film, and Naomi Watts was amazing in the film. I felt the relationship she had with Kong was touching and well made. I loved Jackson's vision of Kong being a giant ape and not a monster. He made Kong feel more human and all of that was Andy Serkis who is brilliant in everything he has touched.

                  Yeah the CGI has not dated too well.....but still. The movie has an epic grand scope to it and is enjoyable to this day.

                  I will be going on the new Kong Ride at Islands of Adventure this September when we go to Halloween Horror Nights.

                    I just want Hollywood to quit killing Kong at the end. I don't want to see another Kong movie where he climbs the Empire State building. Maybe they should send him to Paris to climb the Eiffel Tower lol

                      Agreed. I get the emotional aspect that man was the true beast, but for once, can we use the larger heads/brains and evolve past killing him.

                      The trailer had them loading up to go to Vietnam. Gave me a little bit of a bad taste. Still hyped for it, but that was just, bleh.

                        He should be fine on the Eiffel Tower. It's France.

                          If his size is Godzilla level -- which almost looks to be a certainty -- then this Kong ain't climbing on anything. He'll be too big and he should basically just **** **** up.

                            Exactly....and I'm sure he'll be just as resistant to military fire like Godzilla.

                              I honestly don't care if Kong can climb buildings. I was hoping he parkours off some them and drops an elbow on Godzilla.

                              I have a feeling it become a BvS story where they fight and then become friends to fight Mothra or some other huge monster.
