Obviously, I would have still seen it, regardless, but I wasn't all that enthused about it. The idea didn't really spur my imagination, as a prequel to the classic King Kong story, be it the Peter Jackson film or even the 1933 original, felt pointless. Then, in mid-to-late 2014, I first heard news of a film called Skull Island that was being developed as something of a prequel.
And, for about ten years, it seemed like I was right. Granted, I also thought for a long time that 1986's King Kong Lives would be the Eighth Wonder's last hurrah, but I felt that Jackson got everything you could possibly get out of the concept with his movie, making another totally asinine.
When I watched Peter Jackson's King Kong on DVD with my aunt, she asked me at the end if I thought there would ever be another Kong movie and I honestly didn't think so.
