Sam Raimi interested in the Hobbit

It's not silly at all, it's my opinion on the movie, I've watched it twice now, don't need to see it again. You keep bringing Bay up, I'm not a fan of his movies, so pointless.

I like Peter Jackson films, but King Kong was a disappointment from him for me.

I bring Micheal Bay up as an example of a director given lavish budgets and big stars, and still hits a flop more often than not. It's nothing personal. But saying King Kong is a dire movie? That's a little out of place.

The film is long, yet compared to the majority of Hollywood blockbusters, it takes a simple concept a lot further, and stamps all over the original. Appreciate the talent involved with this film, the effort made on its behalf and its execution on the big screen. This is simply no dire movie, hate it or love it.

And, with SpaceMonkeys comment, I'd like to add that I never held up much hope for a Transformers movie, even before Bay became involed. It wouldnt, or rather it couldn't come to comtemporary Hollywood without many changes; its dated in the perculiar way many 80s kids cartoons did. The concept of Transformers can be replicated, but the style? I think not.

I prefer the original over the remake. 😛

It's a matter of preference of course, but there is simply much more in the remake, than the original.

Don't know about you, but I'm pretty good with trailers...and I can tell that it won't a "nauseating" Michael Bay style film a la Armageddon...but it will have his touches to be sure. Though Speilberg behind this and being involved as much as he is, is actually a good thing.

You're gonna get your money's worth...unless you're expecting something like The Matrix. It'll probably be more along the lines of T3...which is a beautiful film, despite its flaws.

On the King kong talk i like the newer one more there's more to it.

And lets not forget the 70's ones what do people think of that one compared to these other ones ??

On the subject of the 1970's King Kong, lets forgot the 1970s King Kong

I think that whenever there is a remake movie made it will fall short of expectations UNLESS it is completely redone (a la Batman Begins) because when people see similarities they will reminisce on the reasons they came to see the remake anyway.(that was a long sentence, geez!) Transformers will no doubt have that nostalgia, but with so many differences it will be a disappointment in many people's eyes. Same thing would happen for the Hobbit, since it would have an entirely different feel of the PJ versions.

Kane, we can both agree on the 70s one 🙂

The oringinal so far are the best.The remake are horrible.There are the movies that were remakes such as:"The Planet of the Apes" and "The Time Machine" a waste of money to see and a complae waste of one's day or night.jm 👇
