Goodness gracious, great balls of lightning!
Nobody seems to be talking about this movie so here's my thoughts on it from what we see in the trailer. I know I'm super late on this but fuck it.

I love the whole Vietnam War era theme the movie is going for. We've had 2 King Kong movies take place in the 1930s already so switching the theme and tone of the franchise is great and welcomed. Seeing the same thing for the 3rd time will get old.

The movie also has an all-star worthy cast to carry the human character side of the movie. The 2005 King Kong movie's actors were... alright I guess. I couldn't take Jack Black seriously throughout that movie however so I'm glad that this new movie is having actors with great track records.

As for King Kong himself, he's enormous and looks like it is the biggest King Kong we'll see just like the director said. They're going to have to make him huge obviously if they want him to take on Godzilla in the upcoming Godzilla vs King Kong movie. It also seems like they're going to ignore the affection that King Kong has towards the main female character of the movie and go for a more destructive, angrier, and more badass Kong than we have ever seen.

Well aside from all of that, I'm pretty excited for this movie mostly because its setting up Godzilla vs King Kong that we won't get until 2020. I can't wait that long god dammit.

Doesn't look like that's the case for this movie. Kong was bitchslapping those helicopters out of the sky.

I'm sure it will be as good as you'd expect a movie made for setting up "King Kong vs Godzilla" to be.

Looks like a Michael Bay film. I'll pass.

But there wasn't sparkler explosions/explosions in general, an attractive blonde female actor, stereotypical characters, and Shia LaBeouf screaming "OPTIMUS!!"

the one true God is Doctor Doom and we should all be worshiping him.
I don't think the Empire State Building's going to support him this time.
