We Saw The New Gojira Movie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                              I have some bones to pick with this movie, but it was worth waiting for, because Gojira has never looked more handsome or buff.  And, of course, he in not only the hero of his movie, he is our hero!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                Our whole household marched over to the Alpine yesterday to catch this film.   It was a thoughtful and well-made film, and there were some surprisingly disturbing scenes, especially those recrating the aftermath of the bombing of Hiroshima.

                                  When Gojira is on the screen, he commands it, and the audience cheers for him.  He does not disappoint his fans.  But the film does in a number of ways.

                                      Like the recently viewed "Crystal Lake," this film plays around with time.  Historically, Gojira did not appear until 1954, and this is set in postwar Japan of 1949  Now, I guess the filmmakers wanted a monster fight, so they create King Ghidorah, who really did not surface until the movie "Ghidorah, The Three-Headed Monster," in 1964.  He is not as charismatic as Gojira and is so overdone he might as well be called King Gonorrhea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                         Except for the female meteorologist and Mr. Noda, who are surprisingly well played by the actors who embody them, the humans are idiiots.  Finally, they catch on--Gojira only comes in peace to help Earth when help is needed.  So, he is summoned and really gives it to King Ghidorah.  Then, like the modest hero he is, he dives back into the sea majestically, until needed again.  His job is finished.

                                               Gojira, we need you all the time!  And more screen time!  The film ends on a nice, humanitarian note, showing Gojira as a hero, and saving a little girl from parental abandonment.  Rumor has it these were not in the original script, and Gojira would not approve it, nor shoot a single scene until they were implemented.  

                                                    Hooray For Gojira!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Go out and get your fill of the prehistoric creature loved so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
