Oddly enough, what really helped me enjoy the movie was the audience in the theater where I saw it. Specifically, one member. Towards the end of the movie, when Godzilla, Rodan, Mothra & King Ghidorah finally had their big fight, I saw this little kid, probably 7 or 8 years old sitting several rows in front of me. He was there with his family and when the monsters began the battle he was SOOOOO happy! Seeing this reminded me of when I was his age, watching the Godzilla movies on TV or seeing films like “War if the Gargantuas” at the local Lamp Theater. Pure fantasy. Pure escapism. Pure fun. That’s what these films should be.

Yes, this movie was good for what it was, but I wish it was more of what those original films were. Pure fun for a little kid to watch.
