Can be found here.

The Lord of the Rings movies are my favorite films ever made, and I hate to be a wet blanket, but this doesn't look very appealing. Plus the CGI looks crap. Am I the only one who thinks this?

I just think the giant ape fighting dinosaurs is a stupid idea. Can't see why this movie keeps getting re-made.

Yeah, where did the dinosaurs come from? Bad idea.

I think the Jassica Lange/Charles Grodin version will probably remain the best one, not just for the film, but the music score was really well done. Who was it, John Williams, I think? or someone else immitating his style.

Jackson has stated that the special effects in the trailor aren't necessarily the ones you'll see in the final edit.. he just had to rush out a trailor for the studio...

I haven't seen the original, but I believe that in that film the first shot of Kong is him fighting a T-rex.

But that was before Jurassic Park. I'm tired of dinosaurs now. That's probably one of the reason's Godzilla flopped.

There were a ton of dinosaurs in the original, why change it? How about giant naked women fighting Kong? Evil turds? Jerry Springer? What would it take to turn your crank?
I need a second cup of coffee.

Agreed. I'm not sure what the rush was, but as I watched those dinosaurs I felt sure they would be brushed up by the time it hit the screens.

I'm not a big dino-fan, or even a big Naomi Watts fan, but I'm willing to give this the benefit of the doubt... for now. Peter Jackson seems to relish melodrama and has a rich imagination. If he can bring his sense of humour to this project, it may turn out to be memorable.
