"In 1954 we awakened something" a quote from the trailer and the original 1954 film. It's been sixty years since Godzilla roared to life on the big screen. The original Japanese release was a serious film about all that was wrong with the new atomic age and a warning of what was to come if science was not vigilant. The 1956 American release was cut and jazzed up for our consumption with the addition of Raymond Burr and lost a bit of the message. Fast forward to 2004 and after nearly thirty films the production company Toho announced the the last Godzilla film, Final Wars would be the last of the big guy. The new films director assures fans that this new installment will be a serious tribute to the Godzilla legacy. Not many movie icons have lasted sixty years and fans know that Godzilla can not be killed so the story will go on. Sorry for the rant but as you can guess I am a huge Godzilla geek. Folks it's a giant monster movie and should be just plain fun and I can't wait to see it. "History shows again and again....... "
