Whole lotta' shaking going' on

Rating: 9/10 (19 January 2008)

What can I say? I love the movie and everything about it. I had read all the reviews and watched the trailers and clips and really may have gotten myself over-hyped for the whole thing but......FOR ME, I WAS NOT DISAPPOINTED. I am a big fan of sci-fi/horror movies and thought this had a lot of potential, even though it carried a PG-13 rating. After the "earthquake" the movie goes head on into action/sci fi and never stops. When the Statue of Liberty's head lands in the street and people are scream I was going crazy. That was wild and fun to watch. Also, there is a lot of talk about 9/11 and such but you know what, I could not even compare or think about that while watching this. I am sure there are plenty that say it reminds them so much of it when the building goes down. In any case, if a building callopses, there is going to be a lot of dust and smoke ...... So the acting is first rate, the special effect are first rate, and the whole set-up of the movie is first rate. go out with and open mind, some motion sickness pills, and hopefully enjoy one of the best monster destroys a city movie in a long time.
