Oh - My - God ...zilla, It's Great!

Rating: 10/10 (18 May 2014)

What? They didn't try to throw in ...
Will Smith type one liners from Independence Day? A hokey USA President 'rally the troops' speech? Sound Effects that make me wish I had brought a bottle of Tylenol?
Thirty minutes into the movie I popped up from my slumped tensive position, uncrossed my arms, and nodded in approval. Still, I was sceptical.
Where is the unneeded love interest sub-plot? Surely the CGIruinedthemovie would show it's ugly face? What, no Matthew Broderick cameo?
A full hour into the movie and what's this? I'm enjoying myself? Heck, there's even a plot and a back story that makes sense. I mean it's not a rich plot like The Godfather, but I didn't go to a monster movie to see Godzilla make the MUTO's an offer they can't refuse.
In the interest of full disclosure the movie was riding along as a solid 8/10 until a 27 year old personal wish was fulfilled by the star of the show Godzilla himself.
"Gunnery Sergeant Hartman: Private Pyle I'm gonna give you three seconds; exactly three-f*g-seconds to wipe that stupid looking grin off your face or I will gouge out your eyeballs and skull-f*k you! ONE! TWO! THREE!"
Thank you Godzilla for finally showing me what that scene would have looked like had Gunnery Sergeant Hartman gone through with his threat. I tacked on 2 stars for a certain enjoyable scene in the movie that parallels my wish.
So I'll admit, a lot of these stars are 'thank god they didn't ruin it' stars.
It wasn't dumbed down for kids. They didn't throw a Jar Jar Binks like character in. I didn't have to time wash-room dashes like i did in LOTR/The Hobbit, the movie actually ended after a reasonable length of time.
Go see it, have fun. You'll enjoy it I'm sure. Oh and FYI ... perfectly imitating Godzilla's roar will undoubtedly end all girlfriend/wife arguments instantly.
