No, I believe it will not be "potentially" - it will be kick-ass.  I've
seen the trailers, and heard the soundtrack -- and I think George Lucas
and John Williams have a proven track record in this saga.

In some ways, I liken this to the release of Heaven Forbid.  The critics
can say what they want, but to me, I knew it would be a kick-ass album,
and to me, it was.

As for the Godzilla movie, well, once I knew how much they had altered
the design of the original beast (not to mention the fact that TOHO
didn't produce it), I had no desire to see it.
