Post the last movie you've seen and how you rate it

I saw the original (Japanese print) of Godzilla yesterday.
First the bad: It's a black and white movie where many of the scenes with natural lighting are difficult to see, Godzilla was screamingly obvious as a man in a rubber suit, likewise the models looked like toys, and referring to the Age of Dinosaurs as being 2 million years ago grated.
Second the good: There have been a lot of Godzilla films so I had low expectations about 'big monster rampage movie'. It not that at all. Godzilla shows up very late in the movie and is (blessedly) only on screen for a fairly short period of time. The focus of the movie is how the deaths and destruction affected the Japanese people. Characters talk about the evacuation of Nagasaki and the destruction of Hiroshima. There's one particularly touching scene where a woman is holding her three young daughters and telling them that "we'll all soon be with Daddy". There's some real emotion connected to the evacuations and hospital scenes. Some of the actors were very good. One of the main characters, Ogata played by Akira Takarada, was definite eye candy.
Third, my recommendation: This is likely going to be a film that only film buffs will like. But if you are a fan of the history of film you must see this movie.

Did you watch the version intercut with Orson Wells or the actual film the Japanese saw?
They screened it in Ginza a few years ago for it's 60th anniversary. The sole remaining cast member came for a Q&A. It ends up Akira Kurosawa was filming The Seven Samurai on the next lot over so between breaks the two film teams were on each other's sets.

I saw the actual Japanese version. One of the things I didn't mention liking - Godzilla's scream was top notch special effects even for now.
The American version intercut with Raymond Burr.
Who was the last surviving actor? Was it Akira Takarada?

I quite agree with you, scream effect (1954 version) is even much better than the 2014 reboot
Who was the last surviving actor? Was it Akira Takarada?
Yes he is still alive at 83

Yup, that was him.
On TV quiz show here, they showed that the roar was made by rubbing leather gloves over some kind of string instrument (I forget which one).
Oh, what you can find on the Internet.

thor 3 5.5/10 the actor is not bad, i must say all of them are not really like a warrior to be. thor as a major god from the nordic myth is too much speech. as the nordic people especially male is always silent in the old days. if you want a faithful and reliable guide of nordic land, you should hire a man from iceland. they don’t speak a lot, they know all of the moaning of crater, the can walk a whole day, the master the skill of long distance walk. their body keeps static when they walk…..
marvel makes every actor to be a clown. the make more and more clowny hero clowny warriors, omg i cant pretend to love them anymore
i find chris hemsworth is more and more looks like a porno “Scott Ambrose”.but this movie is much better than wonder woman (4/10)and american captain3(2/10)
i watch this film with some acquaintances, after the movie no one talk about it, looks like we never watched it just now.

Some movies I've watched recently:
Thor: The Dark World (rewatch) 3/5
Love Hemsworth in this role, and there's some other nice stuff scattered around (Loki, Lady Sif, Darcy)… but ultimately, this one's just a big nothing of a movie.The Handmaiden 4.5/5
Very good erotic thriller. Gorgeous period setting, great performances by the two leads.Personal Shopper 4/5
Strange but good movie. Kristen Stewart really has that certain something. The special effects in that one scene look really trashy, though.Lady Snowblood 5/5
Just absolutely fantastic. Watch this if you like women warriors and/or revenge flicks.The Love Witch 4.5/5
Great visuals, and interesting acting choices. I like that the story leaves quite a lot open to interpretation... the broader themes are clear, but if you start thinking about it, the movies messages are really not that simple.The Neon Demon 4/5
This movie is all style over substance, and completely unapologetic about it. And it really does look drop-dead gorgeous, every last frame of it. Unfortunately, it also has a nasty, misogynistic streak.Nocturnal Animals 4.5/5
Great visuals and strong, intense performances. The story is maybe a bit slight, but the visuals and performances really do elevate it.Arrival 4/5
Very good cerebral sci-fi. I was ever so slightly disappointed, but only because it had been hyped to high heavens. I really shouldn't watch movies with expectations like that. -
Italiano film, good script, wonderful drama film
Le mille e una notte: Aladino e sherazade
9/10 to the wonderful fascinating and mysterious ancient asia story.I should write a poem to praise beautiful things

Visually… it had moments of greatness. Story-wise, as a war movie, it was meh, as a fantasy movie, it was meh, as a hybrid of both, it was; meh.

Story depicted in oil painted animation ala Van Gogh style of painting about a young man, Armand Roulin comes to the last place where painter Vincent van Gogh had commited suicide to deliver the troubled artist's final letter and ends up investigating his final days there.

I should give it 8.5 good graphics and story

^ oh, I loved Pan's Labyrinth. I'd give it a straight up 5/5.

Captain America: The Winter Soldier (rewatch) 4.5/5
Still my favourite MCU movie. Most MCU movies are entertaining successions of explosions and jokes, but they usually aren't very satisfying stories. Winter Soldier stands out, actually having a proper story to tell and a point to make. Also, Evans' Cap and Johanson's Black Widow are two of my favourite MCU characters. My only complaint is that it's visually a bit on the generic side, and the action scenes are very good, but not great. -
Finally finished this movie during the weekend The Invisible Guest (2016) 8/10
Its smart, its thrilling and awesome characters. The plot is fast so we need to concentrate on every details. I like how the plot develop with every possible ways that lead to the murder. And the ending is unexpected! -
