King of the Monsters is Back with a Vengeance

"King of the Monsters"
Atsuko and I went to see the new GODZILLA movie last night.  What a treat!  I'm a huge 'Zilla fan and was left wanting after the very disappointing 1998 film starring Mathew Broderick.  That was a terrible movie and disgrace to the franchise.  This new Godzilla is, in my humble opinion, 
THE best Godzilla movie of all time!  
Why is this new Godzilla the best??  Certainly NOT because of all the flashy CG used in it, though that creates a feast for the eyes.  As in all good cinema, it is the storyline and characters that make or break a movie and I feel this Godzilla has it all.  I was skeptical going in after the muck I was subjected to 15 years ago, but this movie offered redemption and then some.  SEE IT!!!

I couldn't resist checking out the movie memorabilia for sale just outside the theater.  
A Godzilla pen and bottle cap (with my ticket stub) ended up coming home with us..

Nice Akemi!! I love your enthusiasm. If I had known before that you too are a Godzilla fan, I would have asked you to come with Atsuko and I to see it! Zannen deshita. Oh well - we will have to all go together for the sequel. Enjoy the F**kin' Transformers man!!!!
