Did you cry, even a drop, when you watched Peter Jackson's 2005 remake of KING KONG?

Poll question: Did you cry, even a drop, when you watched Peter Jackson's 2005 remake of KING KONG?

Edit: added a comma between the words "drop" and "when."

1. I wept during much of the second reel

The dinosaur stampede, for instance, made me cry like a baby.

and no way that ape would have loved 'er.--Karl Pilkington

ffwd to about 2:12.

3. I wept at how ridiculously overblown the whole production was.

The only good King Kong was the 1933 original.

Jackson's was horribly overblown - no surprise there.

On second thought, I did also like King Kong vs. Godzilla, but that and the original are it.

4. Yeah.

But not as much as I did during his Lord of the Rings, or as much as I cry during those damn ASPCA ads with Sarah McLachlan.

I'm a slutty cryer. It's really not difficult.

5. It sucked a fat, veiny one.

6. I cried for the first 45 minutes waiting for the damn ape to appear.

7. I wept because he took a great movie and made it more visually spectacular, but less than it was

[Deep13]

8. I wept for the tragic waste of film stock and for the two hours I will never get back. nt

9. I cried seeing Jack Black so miscast, misused, and oblivious to his suckitude.

10. Almost as bad as Dino DeLaurentis's version of the film.

But not quite as boring.

Nothing touches the original.

11. I am embarrassed to say it ripped me apart. But I appreciate the input of others.

Dino DeLaurentis' 1976 version was camp, IMO.

Yeah, I am a puss, I cried through Jackson's KING KONG. It took me completely by surprise, because the only reason I watched this film is to see if the special effects justified the budget. But I collapsed into the movie like a flea into a dog's coat. Even when I kept telling myself, "This is just a movie, a fiction," it made no difference. Yeah, embarrassed to say, I cried like a baby. Now I know there must be something wrong with me, lol.

12. Kick, just in case. For reasons I'd rather not discuss, this question interersts me. NT
