Godzilla 2014 has a screentime of 10 minutes and a half, which is more then most Japanese Godzilla movies and is the least screentime he gets in American Godzilla movies. I get why some people dislike the american movies and the 2014 version was absolute dog water but screentime isnt a good reason when every American Godzilla movie has more Godzilla screen time then almost every Japanese Godzilla movie.

      They absolutely nailed every scene where Godzilla showed up, when he comes ashore to battle the male MUTO, to him arriving at San Francisco, to the goddamn jump scene. The only part where I will criticise is about the Characters. I love their personality and their acting, but I do not like how generic they are and the timing where Joe Brody dies is astonishingly infuriating. The only one I will give pity points for is Serizawa, for reason I can't explain.

    It might be the nostalgia talking but I always really enjoyed watching Ebirah, Horror of the Deep. I liked the slow build-up of the story and that godzilla wasn't front and center right away. It was a nice change of pace for the series and it focused more on the character story than anything else. Ebirah's introduction at the beginning of the movie was very ominous for a kid. And I will never forget the look on the guys face when they find the sleeping godzilla

      Whenever Americans attempt to make a godzilla movie it hurts my soul because of the awful job they do and don't represent godzilla anywhere near as good as the Japanese do. Toho should stick to making godzilla movies and Americans should stick to remaking movies of past best movies that genuinely brought joy to the audience and shit all over them just like Hollywood has been doing for 20+ years at this point. Seriously how many woke movies and awful remakes do the american people need before they realize oh hey we can't make a good movie anymore even if our goddamn lives depended on it.

    Kiryu, for me was always my favorite design for Mecha G. His bulky yet streamlined look felt like it was more armor like than a robot designed to mimic the likeness of Godzilla, and it was armed to the teeth. Maybe not like Mecha G1 armed, but it was something different and i loved how some of the metallic elements looked muscular. Almost like a Samurai Godzilla in my mind so to speak.

      Possible hottake ahead:
      As for the anime trilogy: I will admit wholeheartedly I absolutely hated it. He says it would be to get you thinking but frankly they were so on the nose and preachy with a lot of the themes and tone of the films that it didn’t require much thought. The characters who grew died. The main character died accomplishing nothing as he didn’t get his world back. He didn’t live to grow above his desire for revenge, dying for nothing and wasting everyone else’s previous sacrifice. The fact all 3 films work to a goal, only for the goal to mean nothing or accomplish nothing but accrue loss can be fine but questions what the point is.
      Their technology lost. Mecha G city - lost. Their spaceship/station, lost. All important characters - Dead.
      Just harkens the question of “why bother making stakes if in the end all the struggles, tribulations, and triumphs equate to absolutely nothing and it essentially ends as it began if not with less as again almost all of them, if not all of them die”

    As a Godzilla fan, I rate the original and Shin Godzilla the highest. They both have meaning to them that involves the Japanese political and social climate on top of man-made disasters that affect more than just people. The original Godzilla and Shin Godzilla both touched on the side effects of humans playing God and not caring about other forms of life. Shin Godzilla, especially, took on a more realistic approach with Godzilla by making his body unstable, in constant pain, nonstop evolving and having him form powers out of self defense/will to live. As much as I love monster fights and destruction, the other Godzilla movies was loosely base on the original where they was a giant monster dinosaur with safe nuclear powers that did not harm the environment for humans to live.

    • @sc81838
      @sc81838 Před 10 měsíci +10

      I was shocked to find out that the original Godzilla came out only 9 years after the war. The uncensored Japanese original was unavailable in the U.S. until the 2000s because of its metaphor of Godzilla as a nuclear bomb (Hiroshima/Nagasaki) and its strong anti-war, anti-nuclear message. There's an eye-opening documentary called "Theaters of War (2022)" that explains that the U.S. military has a say in what Hollywood can or cannot include in its films, and one of the examples they mentioned was Godzilla, in which a monologue by Ken Watanabe explaining a victim's suffering from nuclear weapons was omitted. That angered and saddened Japanese fans, because the anti-war, anti-nuclear message was the key point of the film.

    • @chiprahn
      @chiprahn Před 7 měsíci +1

      Honestly the original Gojira and Shin Godzilla almost feel like they're from a different film series. They're just so tonally and thematically different. Every movie that came out between these two is just a big dumb movies with giant monsters fighting (the American ones included, which are even bigger and even dumber). They're ever entertaining and fun, but that's exactly it. I'd never describe Gojira or Shin Godzilla as "fun". They are meant to be taken as serious pieces of art with serious things to say, rather than just entertainment. This is why I sort of view Shin Godzilla as a natural bookend to the Godzilla franchise. Aside from perhaps Return of Godzilla, it's the first one in 6 decades to really even attempt to be something as thoughtful and serious as the original.

It stayed true to the original in keeping the monster closely tied in with the nuclear themes and radioactivity. Also the tension the entire film builds in teasing your view of him/the absolute size and scale was a form of art in itself.

    Honestly Godzilla(2014) is my favorite despite having seen all the new ones(2014-2021). And that's because everytime Godzilla appears it makes it obvious he's the king and he's in control of the situation. Almost if not every time he comes on screen all music and sounds get cancelled out by his arrival onto the screen. For example: At the air port where his massive foot appears, the moment it hits the ground every sound goes away except for him. Almost every time he's on the screen everyone stares and very little don't look. And he's just so menacing compared to the other movies. He appears almost entirely in the dark making him even scarier, and having the scariest(imo) roar amongst the new movies too.
    Sorry for the paragraph just wanted to let that out:)

    That was absolutely fascinating. I sat throughout the whole of this video until 2am. I had no idea there was this many Godzilla movies. Shin Godzilla, I would like to see that installment. For those of you reading this comment and are big fans of Godzilla, I'm not a fan but I loved the 1970's cartoons from Hanna Barbera and my 1st Godzilla movie was that 98 mess. I misunderstood the 2014 Godzilla so watched it again before watching the King of the Monsters. I actually enjoyed the 2014 Godzilla the second time I watched it but felt let down by the last Godzilla movie King of the Monsters. Perhaps I should watch that again as well.
    As a whole to this CZcams video, I grew up thinking Godzilla was our friend because of the 70's cartoons, so to learn Godzilla is in fact an enemy to human life came as a genuine shock to me through this video.
    I have to admit though, I do love Godzilla's roar.

    Godzilla vs Gigan is my favorite Godzilla movie. I watched it in middle school and the human story is actually enjoyable for me which a lot of Godzilla movies get wrong. I usually just skipped to the monster scenes. I never noticed the fight scenes being stock footage because I was limited to watching the few Godzilla movies that my blockbuster store had whenever I had the rare chance to find it available to rent at all. And biggest of all, Gigan was a badass and my favorite rival monster from the whole series.
    When blockbuster was shutting down, I was able to buy the copy that I’ve rented so many times before. I was never any happier lol
    Side note, I watched the 1998 American Godzilla when I was 10 on vhs tape. Except for the monster scenes I found it very boring and didn’t really understand what was going on. Watching it again as an adult tho I was very surprised and actually really like it. Is it my favorite Godzilla movie? No, but definitely a lot better than people give it credit for. If you don’t take it seriously it’s pretty fun to watch.
    When Shin Godzilla came out, I just graduated high school and was in an incredibly deep depression. I didn’t know it was out until I randomly decided to go to the movie theater and saw the movie on that day’s schedule. This was my very first time watching Godzilla in a real theater. I bought my ticket and was the only one in the theater. I sat in the very front seat and I became a kid again as I sat there watching the film. It was the first time in years where I was truly happy.

    Golly! Willikers! That's my afternoon settled.
    I _was_ going to play video games, but now.... I need another cup of tea!

    I just wanted to say I've always really appreciated the name of your channel. My first exposure to Godzilla came right at the end of the Shows era. Just as I was first meeting Big G he was taken away from me, and without cable I had no way to see any more. The Hanna Barbera Godzilla was all I had during the long drought.

    Quality work my friend. Lovely to see such a intelligent and knowledgeable breakdown of Godzilla's history. Genuine passion.

    Having grown to appreciate it as an adult, when considered as a whole franchise I find it fascinating. Outsiders might think all of them are the same, but there’s variety: the sci fi masterwork of 1954, the kaiju brawls of the 60’s, the gonzo 70’s films, the ambitious 80’s and 90’s films, the effects driven kitchen sink films of the Millennium era, and G’s various permutations in the West. I did such a deep dive the last few years, seeing him rampage Tokyo in G Minus One and hearing Ifukube’s score, I wept.
    (The fact that this vid took til Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla before getting claimed is very surprising!)

    I just wanna throw in my experience here on Godzilla’s revenge. When I was a child(maybe like 3-4 years old) my parents found it on VHS and bought it because of my interest in dinosaurs. And it’s what sparked my obsession with godzilla. I watched it on repeat until I ruined the tape lol. Rewatching it again as a 21 year old young adult I still love it and was surprised to hear how much hate it gets. Either way, my nostalgia goggles will never leave that film for me.

    For all the reviews I've seen about Godzilla, this is definitely the best!

    I agree that Baragon in GMK has the most character... and I put that solely at the feet of his suit actor Rie Ôta. The bts moments when she roars in tandem with the suit is just adorable.

    Fun godzilla fact: Akira Ifukube created the 1954 godzilla roar by dragged a resin-coated leather glove along loosened strings of a double bass.

    I remember the holiday marathon of these movies that always came on around Thanksgiving day. I used to watch for hours. I still find them once in a blue moon playing on Freeform or Rey networks. I've seen them all including the newest versions.

    Fun fact, the Godzilla suit from Godzilla Vs Space Godzilla is the oldest Godzilla suit Toho still has in its collection. The rest being from the millennium series but the oldest suits they still have is one of the original Mecha Godzillas.
