thewayneWow. Lot of fun! Now, it's a B-movie, but it had a surprising amount of interesting plot! My wife insists it continues from the 2014 movie, but I honestly don't remember it: there's been too many Giant Monster movies for me to keep straight. Including this Godzilla movie, there have been eight Godzilla movies released since 2000, though it's possible not all made it to the USA. Now add in the two Pacific Rim movies, Cloverfield, and you have lots of giant monsters destroying the coastal USA.
So I have no idea if THIS Godzilla is a good sequel to the 2014 Godzilla. But I'll take my wife's word on it.
Anyway, it does have a decent plot, and it's a good, fairly traditional Godzilla movie with LOTS of property destruction and giant monster throw-downs. If you like that sort of thing, you'll enjoy this. It still had plenty of stupid, but it did have plot.
The two of us had the theater to ourselves, so we got to do some MST3K snide commenting out loud! That was a lot of fun.
We set out to see the new Spider-Man movie, but literally at the last minute Russet had to do a task remotely for the observatory, and that was it for Spidey, which was at 9:00 as we got to the theater at 9:15. But Godzilla was at 9:30, so an excellent fall-back. Conveniently, they showed a new trailer for Spidey, which added some good info and pushed my wife from 'ambivalent' about seeing it to 'now wants to' see it. We might be able to catch it Sunday, we shall see what happens.
