King Kong (2005) vs Godzilla (2014) - Blu-ray Forum

Mikezilla3k · 07-13-2020, 02:58 AM

Which remake/reboot of the classic films is the better one?

Creed · 07-13-2020, 03:08 AM

Love both, but Jackson's Kong is better.

Poya · 07-13-2020, 04:25 AM

Wouldn’t it make more sense to pit Kong 2005 against Godzilla 1998... on second thought, never mind.

King Kong (2005)

Roonan · 07-13-2020, 10:42 AM

Despite its problems: Kong, by far.

Gizz · 07-13-2020, 02:08 PM

King Kong but I do like the Godzilla film as well.

Mister_Kidd · 07-13-2020, 02:12 PM

Jackson's King Kong has grown on me over the years, Godzilla has not.

Winslow Leach · 07-13-2020, 03:49 PM

Jackson's King Kong.

kylor · 09-23-2020, 02:27 PM

King Kong, easily. Jack Black is awesome.

King Kong (2005) is one of my favorite movie. Godzilla (2014) is really good.

King Kong

MacCready · 12-09-2022, 12:17 AM

Peter Jackson's King Kong was long, overly-indulgent, and boring (despite Naomi Watts, who I usually love). Godzilla was surprisingly good. I thought I'd hate that movie but was amazed at how solid it was.

Godzilla

Zillamon51 · 12-15-2022, 06:22 PM

I really like both, but gotta go with the Big G.

But yeah, the era-appropriate comparisons would be:

- King Kong 1933 vs. Godzilla 1954.

- King Kong 1976 vs. The Return of Godzilla / Godzilla 1985.

- King Kong 2005 vs. Godzilla 1998.

- Kong: Skull Island vs. Godzilla 2014.
