I, myself, have seen the picture...and it's a lot of fun. It's got classic Godzilla vibes and King Kong energy, mixed with a little Jurassic Park, and mashed up with War Of The Worlds. Good stuff.

Of course, after watching this new film, it made me want to go back and watch the original. And it's still fun! Check out two videos below of the old school version compared to the new one. And long live monsters!
