I would prefer that no movie have profanity, but realize that is not always possible, but won't rate any movie higher than an 8 or 9 if profanity is in it.
When watching movies, I try to put myself into the place of the character, feeling what they feel. I think that keeps the viewer from becoming desensitized to violence and other things and keeps them from watching movies that have senseless violence and gore.
Favorite movies-50's monster movies, some Godzilla movies.

Close to My Heart (1951)
How Not To Act Towards Adoptive Parents
This movie did good showing how adoption agencies should not treat adoptive parents. Brad(Ray Milland) had a right to find out the parentage of the baby he and wife, Midge(Gene Tierney) was to adopt. Caseworker(Faye Bainter), did not want Brad to find out anything about the baby's parents. Wasn't that her job? Brad wrongly worried that if one or both parents were bad, the baby would be too.
Godzilla (2014)
Totally Worth Seeing More Than Once
All the characters were played well,true to life. Not being the main part of the movie as is true in the earlier Godzilla movies, here they were not boring or bland when you consider their stories, such as what Ford Brody had to go through as a child and now, as an adult. Intense and heartfelt acting by Bryan Cranston and Juliet Binoche. Elizabeth Olsen played her part very well as a wife and mother who stayed strong, working and caring for her son and keeping him safe. Ken Watanabe and Sally Hawkins were very believable as the scientists and worked well together. Godzilla, well, he was wonderful! I loved the way he was slowly introduced, the way we got just enough glimpses of him that kept us wanting more. And when we got it, we got it good. The roar, appearance and action was great! The design, actions of the M.U.T.O's were great and scary. I hope to see more of them in future movies. Alexandre Desplat's score was breathtaking and fit every moment perfectly.
