MOVIE REVIEW: GODZILLA-KING OF THE MONSTERS

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.

Stop it!!!!!!!! You are killin’ me here!

The poor Japs. They just can seem to rid themselves of this big, ugly ass , over grown lizard with the worst case of halitosis in history and his penchant for flattening Tokyo all the time.

The last good Godzilla movie was Shin-Godzilla. It’s like Batman Begins for Godzilla. Starts out weird, but gets real good.

Godzilla trivia:

Raymond Burr’s character was named Steve Martin.

He was a wild and crazy reporter.

[blueunicorn6]

Well, I’ll be......

Steve Martin was in a Godzilla movie.

I’ll be he was in the one where Godzilla had the fake arrow through his head.

I think it was Godzilla Dances With Wolves.

Got an Oscar for Best Lighting.

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". The choice of vulgarity and profanity is of the flesh and is disrespectful as well as a detriment to the quality of speech, writing or film and society. I cannot say that I control all my thoughts, but I do not feel that I need to use vulgarity or profanity, by the grace of God.

However, while the inclusion of vulgarity and profanity and at least partial nudity seems to be part of the DNA of Hollywood, the use of vulgarity and profanity in society at large seems to be noticeably increasing in speech and writing in the last few years, and is one the negative barometers of the morality and quality of society.

Raymond Burr was a bad man
One of Hoywood’s kept secrets

I concur.

[TheWriterTX]

Yes. The SJW earth-firster is a major villain. In that regard, conservatives are the good guys.

[TheWriterTX]

Despite the Lord’s name in vain, I liked this movie. SJW villainess gets destroyed by smart white male, loving daughter chooses the father, Godzilla kicks ass and takes names.

It wasn’t as good as the most recent remake, but it was a fun 2 hours. Get special effects and fight scenes.

I’ll give a better 2nd-hand review with no spoilers:

A Conservative radio host in our area went and saw it. He’s a geek and a fan of good genre and production, to state nothing of special effects.

He said it was literally one of the worst movies he’s ever seen and you only get the monsters in full view near the end. Horrible cinematography, acting & screenplay.

He said on-air “don’t waste your money and if you must see it, rent it later.” He was fit to be tied.

“The one I don’t get is “Kingu Gidora” cuz what in hell is a GIDO..?”

Kingu is king, and Gidora is from hydra, the seven-headed beast, although Gidora only has three heads.

What about Rodan, the giant bird?

[gnarledmaw]

I knew there was a reason I liked you. Gamera was always my favorite as a kid.

[Mark17]

I wonder if Hollywood is very subtle in preparing people for that close encounter of the third kind?
If you don’t come at me in Freep mail, you will force me to come to my own conclusions. 😁🤣🙃 Actually, I already have, but I still appreciate your input. 👍
