Turns out there are still great movies being made.
I recommend setting aside any (well, most) expectations you might have for a Gojira movie. The monster is awesome but you won't see much of him (which also turns out to be brilliantly executed, I heard they were inspired by Jaws.) It's about the people and their stories went in ways I definitely did not expect and will not ruin for anyone else.

Funny thing about Jaws.
They never could get the thing to work! Spielberg said in an interview he wanted to score it immediately but since “Bruce” wouldn’t work they had to find really clever ways to not show the thing. Worked out amazing as it turns out. I enjoy Godzilla and an anxious to see this offering.

Here is a very positive review of the movie. She goes into some fun details that would be of interest to fans, but non-fans would enjoy as well, I think.
My ex-cat was named "Muffin". "Vomit" would be a better name for her. AKA "The Evil Ball of Fur".

I've never been a huge (pun intended) fan of kaiju or robots but I honestly loved Kong: Skull Island and Godzilla vs Kong and was expecting something along those lines but this was objectively a better movie. Still looking forward to Godzilla x Kong, though.

I have enjoyed the build to that myself.

Dreyfuss thinks it's man again nature, Schider thinks is man facing his fears and Shaw looks a little confused and says; "I think it's about a bloody shark!"

My 19 & 16 year old sons went to see the new Aquaman. They were very disappointed and told me that movies being made today keep getting worse.
