"Note to self chocalate means war"
No wonder Candyland's been facing a civil war
chocolate, chocolate has changed...
+Nedek Lumen chocolate, chocolate never changes
Mmm chocolate OH SHIT! *dies by tribes*
+Gone Sexual ah yes, the internet, the only place where people will judge you on a FAKE name instead of what your actually saying.
Gone Sexual shit someone needs a hug
Man, Peter Jackson sure did his best to hire actors that actually looked like the original cast! Compared to other remakes...
One_Weirdo_Band!, I'm seeing it to, your right.
Special Agent Washing Tub oh god I hated the 1976 remake, it was god awful, and it's sequal is worst.
You guys are old I’m modern you guys are three years old
@@issacflores2010 It's pretty entertaining to watch if you're looking for an especially bad movie to make fun of with family, though XD
This comment was meant to be sarcasm, right...?
I actually kind of prefer Ann being completely terrified of Kong, because it makes his situation more tragic: the one person he can think of as a friend hates and fears him like everyone else, but he'll throw away his life to protect her anyway because he's so lonely.
Da
Thats..........
Really.....
Depressing. XD
That a really good reason
You do make a solid point. I just wish that Ann though in the 1933 film had more personality than just being the girl King Kong has a furry boner for and kidnaps twice. And also that scream. I forgot how annoying that gets after a while. So, I guess Kong’s tragic death was more in vain for a girl who was completely bland.
I find the remake Ann better, Ann screaming is annoying
The 1933 version is a masterpiece. The 2005 version is a well done honourable remake.
Now to be fair, the effects in the old version were breath taking for its time
King Kong in the original movie is pretty f**cking creepy
Ikr
Alyssa Stanley I agree
Alyssa Stanley I don't know I think he looks funny.
Alyssa Stanley. but still fucking awesome!
Pretty much all stop motion dolls are creepy as fuck especially the really old ones
there's a reason the original is still talked about today, it's a masterpiece
I liked the ice skating scene actually. At least it was showing an actual connection between Anne and Kong instead of a blatant kidnapping.
I feel like there’s a real apples-to-oranges comparison between the two films. In the original, Ann is terrified of Kong the whole time. He is a beast and she is a damsel in distress. In the newer movie, the two develop a connection. As far as which dynamic you like is personal preference.
I still have hope that someday NC makes Old vs New Robocop.
You know it will be old
Yeah, but it would be fun to watch it anyway.
+Wildmutt12 They both suck robo-balls.
+Marcus Vinicius Quintas Filho The last word in your name does not translate.
It means "Son", kind of like "Junior" or "II".
Side note: Kong 2005 had one of the best video game adaptations of a movie I've ever seen. Which is terrifying when you consider it was released by a successor (though indirectly) to LJN...
that game is just intense, one of my favorite videogames of that time
Return of the King and Batman Begins also had some pretty good video game adaptations.
16:13 I keep expecting to see the clip of Pooh Bear dryly saying "Skull?" from Pooh's Grand Adventure. Seriously that line cracks me up every time.
Me too! It would've been perfect! But I guess NC has never seen "Search for Christopher Robin"
Owl: He has gone to S-C-H-O-O-L (gasp) skull...
There are so many reasons to laugh at that misspelling...
Same here
I Remember Pooh's Grand Adventure, it Was a Great Film from my Childhood
Same. 😂
Strangely enough when I was a kid I saw the old Kong movie and I thought he wasn't that scary. I thought he was kind of cute actually.
3:31 Lol!!! Hahahahaha! 😁
Huffington Post
He does, actually.
that is part of the point, he's strong and scary but he's still an animal with emotions.
I love the music of peter Jackson’s King Kong it’s so heartfelt.
Me too! King Kong's fall was so heartbreaking, the music complimented the scene very beautifully. James Newton Howard is a fantastic composer!
Yes
It goes from very badass and exciting to emotionally tear jerking
It's crazy to think James Newton Howard only had six weeks to make the entire soundtrack, having replaced Howard Shore.
"You can still make him an interesting boring man...if that makes sense"
James May!
Isn't it an old superstition that women on board a ship are said to bring bad luck?
+Brandon Roberts It was also a plot point in an old popeye cartoon so I was noticing a theme. :P
+ShyGuyXXL Women on a ship have looong (like centuries long) been considered bad luck. Especially if there was only one woman. With a crew of men only. Men gone at sea for several weeks...
See where this is going or should I explain more ?
+invock I figured as much. ^^
+ShyGuyXXL Haven't you heard? Their menstrual cycle attracts bears. You don't want to come face to face with a sea bear my friend.
+Cynical Inquisition It's okay, I'll just draw an anti sea-bear circle on the floor and I'll be fine.
I hope his neighbors didn't think he was crazy when he ran out on the street 😂😂
maybe the first time but the hundreds of times since...probably not ;-)
Skull.....Skull!.....SKULLL!!!!!!!!
SANTA MARÍA
They're probably used to it.
I actually quite like that the newer version went into more detail with a lot of its story elements, because that paired with the 3 hour running time makes it feel much more like an epic, which is what Peter Jackson was trying to make with this movie, an epic, granted the amount of detail in the newer version does make some parts drag but I don’t think it’s too bad
The film is at its best when on Skull Island. I wish they showed more of that and cut down on the time in New York and the ship.
@@elliottknifton8902 the game based on the movie was actually really good and 95% of the game you're traversing through the depths of skull island. I'd recommend playing it.
@@elliottknifton8902 New York was fine. The time on the boat is the only part that drags a bit.
Apes have a LOT of facial expressions, readable for humans. Stating that 1933's Kong feels more like a "real animal" because you can't read his emotions is quite far fetched...
Like how the old wins 90% of time with Doug.
+Narwail Except he let the new win in Lord of the Rings, The Nutty Professor, Spider-Man, Karate Kid and True Grit...
Bajlum13 I never said he doesn't ever let new win.
New has won more often dude, wtf are you talking about
+Bajlum13 Forgot Prince of Egypt
Well, 90% of the time, the old is actually the better movie.
I have never seen the old one, I only seen the 2005 as a kid. honestly, I do love it especially the ending of it, it left me speechless and I was just sitting on the couch with my blanket wrapped around me
I think I agree with this-much as I hate to admit it, since I love the Jackson version so much. But I think I can quantify that so I don't have to choose: The original, I think, focused mainly on the battle between the new world and the old world, while Jackson took the story and chose to develop the theme about beauty and how we appreciate it. Do we destroy it, like Carl, by putting a price tag on it? Do we neglect it, as Jack does? Or is Kong, simple and childlike as he is, correct in simply seeking it out to enjoy it for what it is?
16:40 I think Doug might have set a world record with the high note he hit there lol
Gotta love the comment sections on these.
Old Wins: "Wow, you're so nostalgia blind! SMH!"
New Wins: "WTF?! Nothing can beat the classic! SMH!"
I'm starting to understand why he stopped doing these for a while.
I hate how most people on the internet really cry so hard about opinions about a movie. I get it more when its politics and such but god damn these are movies for fuck sake.
@@Jebu911 passion is passion, even if seemingly misplaced.
Please do an old vs new on Godzilla (1954 vs whatever newer version)
Old Hollywood Lover GOD YES!
Godzilla 1954 vs Godzilla Resurgence would be the most poignant.
obviously he won't do the '98 one. He already did that film 9 years ago
Old Hollywood Lover I do agree you he should do a video comparing the Godzilla 1954 vs shin Godzilla
Of course.
"Crazy black man be here" I LOLd so hard
Lancehammers, Same.
Me to.
Really? You did? Ok.
Actually, the line was crazy blind man
@@sphjinx1448 Yes, we did.
The newer king kong is actually more realistic then the old one. Yeah they used an actor for motion capture but great apes like gorillas do actually have very human facial expression and emotion range. They dont just act like “dumb animals” and the 2005 king kong is a lot more emotional like the real animals. Which makes him more sentimental cause you CAN see what gorillas are feeling emotion wise. They don’t just have blank expressionless snarling faces like the original.
*_"The newer king kong is actually more realistic then the old one."_* That's actually the big problem with Jackson's Kong design - _he looks too much like a real gorilla._ With the original, you knew early on that is not what a real gorilla looks like, but that is what the King Kong character looks like and should look like: an exaggerated caricature, a movie monster first and a gorilla second, and that makes his design all the more unique and stand out from his real life counterparts. Making him look like a real gorilla is just boring, not at all unique or special when comparing silhouettes.
Hell, that is why the MonsterVerse Kong looks a lot like the original: it is just that unique of a design for the character.
While Sir Peter Jackson made a very worthy remake of the original, I'm sure that even he would admit that his movie never intended to replace the original 1933 movie either. After all, it's his favourite movie of all time not to mention the film inspiring him to become a filmmaker. I agree that some scenes could have been cut like some of the crew but at the end of the day, Jackson just loves to include gags in his movies. ;)
The ice-skating scene is one of most effective scenes in the movie, because seeing them so happy together only makes the ending all the more heartbreaking.
It tries too hard to force the issue again and again.
@@lyndoncmp5751 Maybe.
Am I the only one who thought of WINNIE THE POOH: THE SEARCH FOR CHRISTOPHER ROBBIN with the whole skull joke?
i thought kong ice skating with her was a cute scene.
Cute, but undeniably silly
Particular Particle
that's what i liked about it, it was adorable :(
MetalFoxT Dugan Well, silly from a realism standpoint. Not the 'cute' kind of silly.
Particular Particle
i dont get it..
MetalFoxT Dugan It was unrealistic to a ridiculous degree... There, I spelled it out for you.
i can understand that movie buffs can be sentimental towards the original, but Peter Jackson's Kong made me cry for a monkey, man!
Yeah, you never really feel that much for Kong in the original. He's made far more of a character in this one, and a sympathetic one at that.
The 1933 King Kong animatronic face is nightmare fuel to be honest.

1933 is still a tighter movie, but it is very dated.
Peter Jackson's Kong does drag a lot in the first half, but is still a pretty damn good movie, and Serkis as Kong. a huge creature at its best.
Hello from 2017! I just saw The new Kong Skull Island and I have to admit it was pretty good! Sure it had its flaws but overall was a decent film.
This is my opinion don't kill me
Love that movie.
I thought it was a pretty fun watch. Love how huge Kong is
I loved Kong: Skull Island. It was refreshing to get a different story on King Kong and not a 3 hour long remake. I also liked the design of Kong better.
Skull Island is fun! That’s the difference between these the original and Peter Jackson move and the newer film. Those films were about the folly of mankind trying to control the world for its benefits and how even the most animalistic beast has emotions. Skull island is about Vietnam soilders, ww2 vets, and big apes fighting lizards, giant spiders and squids. It’s not trying to complicate, its pure entertainment.
Both are great films and Kong Skull Island was a pretty good adaption for the Monsterverse
DONT SAY SKULL 16:35
Well, I’m not one to argue, but people loved the 70s Kong. And to be fair, it looks pretty good. The portrayal of Kong is good in a different way, because while one showed off the skill of an actor, the other showed of the skill of an animator
Naomi Watts is one of the main reasons I love the 2005 version more. Also, I really love Jack Black in the 2005 one as well. Of course, the CG is fantastic. Especially for 2005.
Old vs New Jungle Book
Cory Posluszny now that would a Fucking war.
I just stopped 9:21 to say this, the only way the old effects can beat the new is if you compare the effects NOT TO EACH OTHER, but to the effects OF THE PERSPECTIVE TIME PERIOD. Meaning in 2005, King kong's effects wouldn't be all that amazing, while the 1933 effects were for the time period.
Now I'll continue watching to see who you say wins.
Their is heart in cgi
Personally I've always preferred the 2005 version due to the emotion and spectacle, but the original 1933 version is still great:)
I agree.
I'm so glad you used the original as the "old" version. :)
U should now do old vs new King Kong (2005) vs Kong skull island (2017)
Ok the original was more animalistic because the blank slate face (even though primates are very emotive animals, they're social) but ruling the new one out because of emotion when it's a story of Kong falling in love, emotion is the basis of the story so having him show that makes sense to me
I can't remember when or where I heard of this, but there's gonna be a King Kong vs Godzilla movie.
Roy Sunshine there was a King Kong vs Godzilla movie in the 1960's. I can't remember who won though. But still if there's gonna be a new one it would be awesome to see how it works out. Maybe Critic can do an old vs new between the two if the movies are similar enough.
Roy Sunshine Yeah you're right
Roy Sunshine But the movie may or may not happen. So if it doesn't happen, then we all move on. If it does happen, we can see how it turns out
2 years later and now we know there will be Kong v Godzilla. people questioned Kong's height and it was addressed in Kong Skull Island (in that he's a big dude, but not yet a full adult) a full adult kong would be closer to Godzilla's height.
Dominick Veras well at the end of that movie, they only saw Kong emerge from underwater walking while Godzilla has suddenly disappeared.
Let’s all be honest with ourselves here and admit that if we were kidnapped by King Kong we would all be closer to feigh ray....
I always loved the older movie effects over computer generated. they put a lot of hard work into it and it really shows. the new movies are good for showing large action sequences but it's expensive to make so you only get satisfying scenes from large companies like marvel.
Can you imagine them using modern variants of those old techniques today? Whoa momma!
I just watched the 1933 film, and I have to say that the natives in the 2005 film actually seem more stereotypically aggressive than the movie from the '30s portrayed them.
In the '33 film, the natives actually try to warn the crew to go away when they interrupt their ceremony instead of just going nuts on them over a chocolate bar. Not to mention that the natives actually try to exchange some of their own women for Ann, they don't kill or even hurt any of the crew at all, and they even rush to the crew's aid when Kong attacks the village to search for Ann. Hell, the only bad thing they ever did was kidnap Ann to sacrifice her to Kong, and only after the bartering was unsuccessful.
The natives in the 1933 film may look silly, but at least they weren't all depicted as one-dimensional, bloodthirsty psychopaths. But of course, there are lots of different ways that a tribe can react to strangers arriving on their doorstep. So I guess I can't say that the 2005 portrayal was unrealistic. In fact, the 2005 portrayal was pretty damn effective in its own way. Damn terrifying, too. Props to Peter Jackson.
The 2005 trice was a starving hermit people, they once had a thriving civilization but the constant earthquakes were sinking the island causing the Wall protecting the people to crumbing and overtime they got travel until those who didn’t leave found shelter in the catacombs of there dead. They are barley a shell of what they once were so they survive in pure desperation and sacrifice to appease the last great ape of the island.
You should do Godzilla next!
+Jack Glaser So? His last new vs old was about a year ago, he only does them every once in a while
+shadowlinkbds Can't do it, Godzilla wasn't even in the 2014 movie asides from like 2 fight scenes.
That movie was shit
1998, was shit, not 1954 or 2014 (They're both awesome)
+CGF movies The 2014 movie bored me to tears. You'd have to pay me to watch it again. The plot was bare bones at best, the lead never had any sense of direction, and - I'm gonna say it! - I preferred the more animalistic/instinctual take of Godzilla in '98 over the anthropomorphized, humanized version in 2014. I wasn't rooting for Godzilla to win, I was just bored. I got more enjoyment out of Jurassic Park dinosaur fights. Even the ones from JP III.
Then again, I never watched any of the original Godzilla movies, so I have no nostalgia drive towards the character. I just watched it on the basis of it being a fresh, new movie for me. A movie I wouldn't watch again. Sure, it looked kinda cool, but Godzilla laser puking in another monster's mouth was eh?
It's crazy how much your production value has increased since 2015. Keep it up guys
Old vs new petes dragon
I'd bet he'd prefer the remake. Although I personally love them both.
"Crazy black man been here". My God, even the racist stereotype is a friggin' racist.
He was crazy, he kidnapped a woman; don't black knight him
Crazy black
Back then, in the USA... Racism was okay. I mean, come on USA! Get your crap together already! Racism is bad!
Sounds like he was just explaining moreso, that "Crazy tribal people been here!" He only said "black" because they were black.
I absolutely love the 2005 version
Hi Donkey KONG icon on a King KONG Old vs New video.Lol xD
primates do make human like expressions and in many cases you can tell what they're thinking...im sure you knew this though. You were jus determined to give a point to the older one 😒
Read My Lips - News & Politics Kong in the 2005 movie acted way too human. In the 1933 movie, he felt like an actual animal. Not knowing anything and trying to nab it. The 2005 one understood a lot more than he should have. He's never seen anyone else other than the tribe, yet he's already reading Ann's emotions like a book and expecting her to entertain him. The 1933 one just wanted to inspect her and smell her, and all that primal stuff.
@@scaryrumpus Thats one specific point, then secondly think about how the actual sidecharacters WERE less interesting, I also watched the newer one and perfer it, but I cannot lie the love interest is BORING
@@giuseppelambrinos2458 well that’s because many facial expressions are shared between humans and gorillas gorillas are very intelligent and it’s constantly shown how underestimated we think they can understand
After over a decade, Kong is finally returning!
I respect the original movie but I prefer the Peter Jackson version.
The Joker I appreciate the fact that the original is 80 minutes less
#gangweed
I love Kong '05 too!
Despite what NC says, I like the new one, because it has more emotion, the point of the movie is to make you feel. Show,don't tell Right, because that's what NC says, a lot and that's what the film dose.
You see the emotions of the woman and King Kong, you see them make a connection, you see that in a strange way she loves Kong back, the scene in the street and the ice skating scene are there to show that despite how scary a big Gorilla can be he's not a monster and is capable of love, he's just a simple innocent creature which makes it worse when he dies.
Then of course we have the 'Is man the real monster' story, which it kind of is and that one line at the end said by Jack Black "it was beauty killed the beast"
I agree
First of all, I highly appreciate your videos. I think you strike a perfect balance between legitimate criticism, akin to Roger Ebert (I legitimately mean that. Your tribute to him made me tear up.), and pure entertainment value (your skits crack me up). I was, however, dismayed when I discovered your Old vs. New series, as this was very similar to a series of videos I planned to make, this very topic being one of the first few I had planned to make, and even began researching. This video nails almost everything I planned to say. It brings a smile to my face to see the dedicated following you have, and your unwavering commitment to bring us new content on an almost daily basis. I can't tell you how many people I've recommended your channel to. Keep up the fantastic work! I look forward to seeing new content from you everyday.
I just want to compare the group of people from the 2005 film to Kong: Skull Island. There's Brie Larson; the leading lady who shows compassion, but is able to stand up to Kong, the crazy guy who knows his way around the island played by John C. Reilly and Tom Hiddleston. Yeah, I know he also plays Loki, but outside of one scene where he defends himself with knives, he really doesn't do anything.
I agree with most everything you had to say here, save for a bit of the bit regarding Jack Black as Carl Denham... I was completely shocked that he did as well as he did in this role, when I originally heard he had been cast I rolled my eyes and was set for a piss poor performance... But he even nailed the final, massively important line brilliantly... Twas Beauty killed the Beast... He shocked me and I was exceptionally impressed ... For , it would be a toss-up between the two actors who each brought a slightly different variants and interpretation to the role but both were very interesting and well done... Overall, this was one hell of a version of the story and I couldn't have been more happy when I left the theater after seeing it...
This deserves a thumbs up just for the skull bit.
Doug runnin' wild in the neighborhood is always a gem
"say... I guess I love you" such words of romance
Critic, let's be honest. How seriously are we supposed to take a story about a giant ape that falls in love with a human lady. It's like if Bowser fell in love with Peach. It's just plain fucking strange.
He doesn't fall in love with her.
Super Mario Bros Movie (2023)
Now which King Kong movie I perfer?:
Kong Skull Island!!!!!
Yup.
We do not speak of that.
@@rubygoldgames
Actually yes we do😝😝
Loved that movie
@Asaf Akiva But did I ask though?
GoldenLikeRuby Games Agree. I mean, it was cool, but underwhelming.
The 1933 Kong looks like Ron Perlman
He kinda does. 😂
If king kong 2005 directed by guillermo del toro im sure ron perlman is gonna be motion capture models for king kong😂😂
Peter Jackson's King Kong is my all time favorite movie, I've watched it probably 1000 times, but man did the natives in that movie scared the shit out of me as a kid, I remember seeing it in the theaters and literally staring at the walls of the theater, or my lap, during any scene they were in. When I got the movie on dvd, I always skipped the parts with them in it.
Not gonna lie, this episode is one of the best examples of "old man yells at cloud"
Are you sure that they used a "greenscreen" (I was under the impression that before 2000 or so it was generally "bluescreens" and the technology came from the 70es or so) and not simply backprojection like in old car ride/chase scenes? Even Rotoscoping like in TRON combining bits of several exposed videos into one final movietape should not have been invented in 33...
Old effects were great
16:36 I wonder what Doug's neighbours were thinking when this happened.
He was silent during this shot and dubbed his screaming in later.
a trailer for king kong skull island 2017 started playing when I clicked on this
adam bump lol
I'd love to see an old vs new about dawn of the dead
Ah, classic Nostalgia Critic. He put in the time to make good arguments and comparisons, taking things seriously while still making jokes.
...I think that's more later than earlier.
With all that panic about "Skull" you just gave me some inspiration for my next book. XD
I think the effects should have gone to the original. Granted the newer movie is technically better, but we're looking at the difference between a movie shot in 1933 compared to 2005. What I think is important here is that the special effects in the original were groundbreaking for its time, while the newer version's effects were pretty much standard.
Eric Nash exactly, there were better looking movies in 2005.
@@mysteriousmrocd8384 Name one. The only poorly done scene was the dinosaur chase. King Kong 05's CGI was ridiculous for its time
@@n8george spider-man 2 came out the year before and Pirates of the Caribbean came out 2 years before. The effects for King Kong were solid but not groundbreaking like the original King Kong
Peter Jackson had already proved himself effects wise with the LOTR trilogy
Old vs New:Hulk and Old vs New: Godzilla, please.
Kong's laugh is - dare I say it - fucking adorable.
I never actually thought Critic would do an Old vs New King Kong whiched included the 2005 film, but I am glad that it did. :)
Who else is watching this in preparation for "Kong: Skull Island?" :)

King Kong 1933: Why did I go for the screaming babshee?
Hollywood should take notes from these films. Peter Jackson put a lot of soul and heart into his remake and did a damn good job.
When I see new remakes being done not a lot effort goes in to most films. Peter Jackson’s film was great. And if you’re going to remake a film, put effort into it and add to it.
King Kong (1934)
King Kong (2005)
It's 1933, not 34. But however there was gonna be a midquel to "King Kong" called "The New Adventures Of King Kong", and it was supposed to come out in 1934. But it was cancelled because Ernest B. Shoedsack knew for the better than not to milk the franchise dry.
@@chonkeyshonkey the opposite of what Hollywood does today.
What do you mean you can't tell what animals are feeling?! Of course you can! It's easier to tell what animals are feeling than humans for crying out loud!
Peter Jackson in his commentary track noted that the reason why the falling of the native that's been shot was done in slow-motion while the chaos surrounding it wasn't,was to make the scene feel unreal,like a dream.
We've seen this one already! You can't trick us with re-uploads!
Yep, he's clearly trying to trick you by posting the original air date in the description -_-
8:06 Do a Google image search for "New Guinea natives".
It's kinda erronious judgement that NC is basing his "Best Kong" argument off of that animals aren't expressive, when he's talking about primates, some of the most expressive creatures on the face of the planet.
I like the practical effects of the original better. any fool can use CG effects in their movie. Models help the story more IMO ;-)
16:30
Another great Nostalgia Critic suburbia adventure.
I always wonder what their neighbors thought about them. xD
Speaking of a beauty and a beast, I've heard a live- action remake of Disney's Beauty and the Beast is coming out in December. Maybe the Nostalgia Critic will make an Old vs New: Beauty and the Beast in the future like he did with Cinderella. Who knows? No one plays Gaston like the original.
Not in December. They've set it for next March. And they've released a trailer and some stills now.
Right. I first found it out in Wikipedia and it claimed the movie would come out in December. Of course information from Wikipedia is subject to change.
I don't think he's gonna do that, I believe it's mostly a shot by shot remake of the original. The Story, which is always present in these comparisons, can't play as much a part.
little know fact is that most of us have never seen the original King Kong in its original version.. when it was released in the theater in 1933 there were additional scenes that were later cut from the film for being to dark , violent and gruesome in the day according to movie critics of the day.. therefore it was pulled from the theater edited, lightened a bit and re-released. so unless you were alive in 1933 and saw the original film debut in the theater, then you haven't seen the original King Kong.. which most of us haven't... the edited clips from what I understand were discarded so no one will ever see them again.. no thats a dam shame
Yeah, doesn't that include the Bug Pit?
ajmrowland To be honest Im not sure.. Unfortunately Im not old enough to have seen the original lol
All of the Deleted scenes pulled from the 1933 theater release version of king kong (besides the Bug Pit scene which was lost for ever) were found and restored in 1971. So in fact most people have scene the original king kong minus 1 scene from the movie. It should be noted however that Peter Jackson did use the original models and storyboards to digitally reshoot the scene and added it back into the Kong rereleases much later. So you can see the recreated Bug Pit Scene (though technically it was spiders.)
The whole "lost spider spit" sequence has been debunked. The old images of the creatures for that scene were just taken for promotional purposes. While the spider pit sequence was in the original script, it was never shot due to budgetary reasons.
I don't think it's fair to consider the new version's visuals better. The original looks fake and unconvincing but you said it yourself, the point of them is telling the story, and the original was one of the first movies in history to do that. But all in all, the original is just a lot more appealing. Even when looking beyond the creatures, the backgrounds feel so magical to look at
So, I may not be in total agreement with your choices, but I can appreciate your reasoning behind them. You do make great points, and I enjoy listening to them. Thoughtful, insightful, and thorough. I like that you balance the more serious analysis with bits of random goofiness, but sometimes I think you can get a little too silly. That skull bit was a good example of showing how ridiculous that scene was, yet I feel that it went about 15 to 20 seconds too long... may be I'm overreacting, but that one spot almost pulled me completely away from an otherwise very interesting video...
I'm getting real tired of all these critics and reviewers hating on CGI. CGI is the future. accept it already.
Sure, sometimes they do it badly or they just do it good enough instead of going all the way as they should, but then again it was like that with old effects too. Let's be honest here, when they use puppets, costumes and animatronics you have both the incredibly good ones like in Jurassic Park, the mediocre ones like in Alien, and the silly and horrible ones. Same as we have now with CGI. We have movies done mostly with CGI and facial mapping, and some are incredibly while some suck elephant's ass.
CGI and virtuality is the way to go. Deal with it.
fucking *THANK YOU*
AMEN
I find CGI to be boring to be honest and dont find it all that much enjoyable. It is actually ( in my opinion ) much more fun and interesting to see a hand made costume or a puppet ( if done correctly ) on the screen. CGI even if done properly is just a much more common thing nowadays and doesnt hold my attention as much as something made by hand.
Say that and compare John Carpenters Thing to 2011 Thing. Or Lord of the rings and the hobbit (Yes LOTR used a shit ton of CGI but their Orcs were real people) Or compare Raiders of the Lost Arc to Chrystal Skull. Also Compare American Werewolf in London to 2010 Wolfman.
I still remember when the 2005 version was coming out. I could never get over jack black saying "I found a map to an uncharted island." In fact that was like the staple quote from the trailer. Does no one realize how stupid that line it. uncharted means there are no maps of it...
is* Uncharted*
🤔............You must be one fuck of a bummer to run into at parties.
They both have awesome themes
we need more old vs new vids by Nostalgia critic
