Old into the New

Rating: 9/10 (11 October 2014)

I thoroughly enjoyed the movie. Now I grew up watching the Godzilla TV show. I saw some of the B movies too! It was fun. I am ashamed to say it was not until adulthood that I learned from my older brother there was an original movie Godzilla the Japanese made in the 1950s. Well, low and behold the AFI theater in town showed the original with subtitles this spring and I saw it! I was surprised how serious it was and also how GOOD! I so enjoyed it. I really don't think I would have received all the punches of the new Godzilla movie if I had not seen the old one, I feel like almost a prerequisite. I was frantic the whole movie which I love being breathless! LOL! I only wish I had seen it at the theater!
