Godzilla

FLIX!

Okay, saw it and gotta do it.

I never really got the whole Godzilla/Mothra thing. So my older daughter wanted to see this tonight, so hey, I don't get to see her that much, ....so I guess!

I have never seen a real Godzilla movie before. I mean think I saw the cheap Japanese stuff on the "Creature Feature" on late night TV in the early 70's, but I have never laid down cash to go see a Godzilla movie.

My son complained that you have to wait too long to see Godzilla. I disagree. I thought he was placed perfectly. First the story line had to secure the fact that Godzilla is really on our side and that laying total waste to San Francisco was because he was helping us!

Two Giant Moth Creatures are brought to life, because one of them was waiting for the other to mature in Yucca Mountain. One starts from Japan on it's journey to the west coast of the US. The other leaves Yucca Mountain and heads to San Francisco to begin a new race of giant Praying Mantis's with the guy heading in from Japan. And cool, the males can fly.

But see, Godzilla, for some reason, hates Moth creatures. So he is our Bud for going after these two giant destructive awful expectant parents. A lesser critic would suggest a Pro-choice agenda. But you won't get that from me.

I really liked this movie. If you went to a "Godzilla" to see a Godzilla movie you won't be disappointed. I thought the final sequences were superb. If I were a Godzilla Fan, I would be totally satisfied.

And isn't that the mark of any fan-based movie?
