Started out great, then after they killed Walter White, it went completely downhill. It gave almost no time for Godzilla to shine and it dragged on and on. You would be asleep by the time Godzilla shows up and destroys stuff. When he shows up though, it becomes exciting again.

I am going to say this though, I absolutely love monster/kaiju movies. There's just something so satisfying watching some behemoths fight it out or even fight to the death. The only flaw about most of these kaiju movies though is that it focuses so much on the humans when it really should be focusing on the kaijus but oh well. Whenever this does focus on the kaijus, it's so great.

I am a huge wrestling fan and been following wrestling since I was a child, I am 26 now. Unfortunately in Hollywood, it is very rare to see an actual great wrestling movie. In my head, I can currently think of 3 great wrestling movies in the history of Hollywood and that is, "The Wrestler" with Mickey Rourke, the luchador movie with Jack Black, and this, "The Iron Claw" with Zac Efron and cast. I am not afraid to admit that yes, I teared up to "The Wrestler", why wouldn't I? That movie has one of the saddest endings of all damn time. But, I also teared up at this movie. My goodness, it was beautiful in the way it told its story.

"The Iron Claw" is based on the true story of the real life wrestling family, The Von Erichs and about their breakthrough in a tough era of wrestling in the 1980's, exploring their family troubles and etc.

There are a very few inaccuracies in this movie and most of them I could overlook. They were minor, almost not noticeable (like David actually not sending Kevin that letter or Kevin and Pam's first two kids were girls, not boys or it being Fritz who discovered Kerry's dead body and not Kevin and so on), but there is one that kind of had my attention throughout the rest of the movie... What happened to Kerry's leg did not happen in 1984 a few days after winning the championship, it happened 2 years after in 1986 but I digress.

I loved this movie and I hope this sets the precedence for future wrestling movies to come.

"Freaks" (2018), a movie about a dad protecting his daughter from the outside world from the "bad" people.

This could've gone a lot of ways when it comes to its plot. A lot of creative stuff could've come out of it. What are the "bad" the dad is trying to protect his daughter from? Zombies? Monsters? Aliens? BODY SNATCHERS?? Nope, none of those more interesting stuff, no... basically it's just a dad with superpowers, protecting his daughter, who has superpowers, from ordinary people who wants to kill them for some stupid reason or another. Now, I have seen a lot of superhero/superpower movies in my lifetime with more realistic themes, example, "Brightburn", "Chronicle", etc. Who pulled off the whole "People getting superpowers, turns evil, killing people shtick" much much better. I feel like this movie would've been much better if it just went the Body Snatchers route with monsters pretending to be humans. Much more scary and exciting than this. But all that critique aside, 6 stars, it was alright at best.

And for people giving this 7-8-9 or even 10 rating, please watch Chronicle or Brightburn and I guarantee you, you will at least 80% chance lower your rating for this.
