MOVIE REVIEW: GODZILLA-KING OF THE MONSTERS
self | 06-03-2019 | ealgeone

I saw Godzilla, King of the Monsters today.

I've been a fan of the big lizard since I was a kid. However, I was disappointed in the movie today.

I won't give any spoilers.

Special effects are very good.

Plot line is good.

My problem with the movie, and this may not bother others, was the use of profanity, especially taking God's name, throughout the movie.

There is also a reference to God as "she".

I would recommend avoidance of this movie for these reasons.

Sadly, this will be my last Godzilla movie I will go see.

Thanks

Kingu is kinda close to Kaiju, which, as you know....

Ah! Yes, I had not considered that, but you must be correct.

One of my favorite one panel comics had a tiny Godzilla stalking down the middle of a street in New York City. One passerby points him out to a friend and says, “I hear he’s big in Japan.”

The plot was too complicated and preachy, at one point strip mining was being blamed for the 17 titan monsters erupting from underground LMAO.

HOWEVER, I still liked all the loud noisy monster fights and so did my ten year old grandson LOL.

If you’re a fan of the silliness of Godzilla, you will like this movie.

Is the Japanese Army in it?

I like those trailers they have that shoot lightning bolts.

They’d have won The Battle of the Bulge if they had those there.

Godzilla v. The Smog Monster is one of the best! The monster craps all over Tokyo. Named one of the 50 top bad movies.

I raised my son (SR in college now) on Godzilla movie - on VHS tapes.

We caught opening night on IMAX - third row center seats.

CGI is so advanced now - it’s hard for humans to compete.

Godzilla n friends - so uber epic!
Humans - kinda snoringly cartoonish.
Story line - fairly loyal, with heavy doses of lefty mumbo jumbo.
IMAX - meh.
See it on the big screen - hell yea!

If profanity is a problem, I regret to tell you the trips to the movies are going to be few and far between for you.

I don’t share your religious approach, but I respect it. The reason I hate the profanity is that it’s lazy. I was brought up in a house where the only time I heard it was when my Dad would drop something heavy on a toe, or shock himself when doing DIY electrical work.

Of course he saved some gems for my brother.

But the point was when you heard it, something was very wrong. Itgot your attention. In a movie without much, it certainly gets your attention when it happens.

I find my kids contemporaries use it way too much. But even they don’t have the guts to drop one in front of my wife.
