    A few weeks ago, my family was having salmon for dinner. Then my sister said "That's a lot of fish". She had no idea why I was cracking up.

      I told my sister this joke (she’d never seen the movie but but she was researching Red Tide) and she cited the movie, took a gif, and included it in a presentation for her Masters in oceanography. Her thesis advisor approved, but apparently also had no idea what the movie is. This line has helped people.

    I will give this movie one compliment and one only; It's nice to see an American film let the French be badass. All too many American movies only let Americans and may be the occasional one of my lot be heroes.

      ***** OK, I think you might have got the idea that I was dissing Americans in general. I wasn't. If anything American audiences keep proving that the movie studios underestimate them by enjoying non-American media, like Doctor Who..

    Fun fact: The Japanese word for Godzilla, 'Gojira', is a meshing of the words for 'gorilla' and 'whale'.
    Even though of the nine animals the creature took inspiration from, neither gorilla nor whale was mentioned.

    I love how Toho bought the rights back to this piece of trash, and renamed the monster in it "zilla." Then, they featured it in one of the best Godzilla films to date: "Godzilla: Final Wars." For the uneducated, this movie was about Godzilla VS. EVERYTHING he had fought so far. Aside from Mothra, who was on his side. Anyhoo, this "Zilla" beast appeared to take on our Kaijuu King. It ran at the beast, and Godzilla didn't even blik as it grabbed it, threw it against a building, and blew it up *with a single attack.*
    I love Toho.

      Travis Smith I bet you're a guy who doesn't even know anything about the stuff in any Godzilla film ever. Modern Japanese Godzilla is to this day King of the Kaijuu. Not saying the UNDEFEATED king, but every king loses a battle once in a while. He is a gracious monster, clocking in at WAY taller than Zilla ever was.

    Here's one thing I don't get, why would they try to kill this thing if they can just bait him away from the city. Shooting the thing pisses it off and continues to destroy shit. If they just get a couple of trucks full of fish or something to bait it out of the city, less destruction, less dead citizens and soldiers, much easier. Oh wait, that wont work cause the writers weren't smart enough to think of that.

      Toho had an advanced screening and called the film fantastic.

      Emilia Rose Yeah.
      Unrelated fanboy tangent here: You know that saying in writing "Every rule in writing has an exception?" Like how "Rick and Morty" is a torture porn that is actually funny? Well, Japanese Godzilla breaks all the rules of
      -Continuity between sequels. Each Godzilla film is its own universe. It has no canon. Godzilla is a mutant T-Rex one movie, the next he's an ancient guardian, the next he's just there for no reason. One movie he's born on Monster Island, the next he's a space-time anomaly. *I even remember an episode calling back to other movies and getting all of the info wrong, like how they said an atomic heat ray destroyed Mothra and actually showed footage from teh movie of them using it. It had looked like it had been destroyed but it had not been. It was hilarious.*
      -Good writing. Godzilla films doesn't care. It's got all the plot holes, all the stereotype characters, all the complete a$$ pulls.
      -Good Voice acting. The voices are over the top (At least, in the dubbed versions.) They're hilarious and actually add.
      Matter of fact, the whole reason Godzilla is good is because of its ability to pull these traits off with flying colors. It'll always be fun to watch for me. I wish you were into Kaijuus so we could RP this sort of stuff.

  • @OneofDawnmist
    @OneofDawnmist Před 10 lety +9

    There's one thing the same and one thing different about this and the new Godzilla.
    The same: The ad campaign they launched for both was FUCKING BRILLIANT. The HALO jump in the new trailer established a brand-new form of badass that was to come. Oh, and the actual scene was just as awesome as the trailer made it look. NC already explained how the ad campaign for this one was great.
    The difference: The 2014 version wasn't a piece of shit. The acting (all of it) was exponentially better, and I actually think the focus on the human characters, even through the fight scene, helped distinguish it from all the other big-monster movies out there. Whereas this one was formulaic as FUCK, and in general was so bad that the original creators of Godzilla bought the rights to this version just to have the OG kick it's ass to the curb.

    • @PostgodAfterbirth
      @PostgodAfterbirth Před 10 lety +1

      I agree, and it's not exactly breaking tradition to write awkward human parts as the bulk of the film. A lot of people complain about the story and the human aspect of G14, I'm like "Yeah, what's new?" Try filling 140 minutes with monster fights and have success at the box office. (Though that would be a movie I would go to see. Twice.)

      There's a little thing called "building tension." Surely you've heard of it.
      Besides, Godzilla was never the main focus of the film- the human's reactions were. He's there to keep the protagonist on his toes and he does it damn good.
      If the new movie didn't have Godzilla in it I'm entirely sure people would be hailing it as one of the best films of the year, behind Interstellar of course. But of course people are laden with expectation for something that was never really a thing in the first place.

      Yes that's true and because of that the world expected them to become stronger and braver in the future but when WW2 came they surrendered easily. They fought hard in WW1 why did they chicken out in WW2? They basically humiliated themselves and half the world lost respect for them. I still respect the French but I see why people make fun of them.

      Joshua Willis Well, they did sort of act like badasses afterwards, so that kinda makes up for it. I mean, when France surrendered, did their overseas colonies give up and wait for the Nazis? NO. Some guy gave them a badass speech, and they rallied together and became one of the front-line powers in the conflict. That's right - even after their humiliating surrender and occupation, the French were still kicking Nazi ass around the world.

    The whole "president flys a fighter jet" _plothole_ is not a plothole AT ALL. It might be silly but it's not a plothole. In the movie they say the president is a former jet fighter pilot and it is a freaking "do or die" moment so, yeah, you should have as many able men as possible
    About this movie, I think its main problem is that it is supposed to be Godzilla and they ignored the source material. That and the hide&seek going on and a couple mistakes more. Also, the "ripping off Jurassic Park", while true, it is quite stupid since all those things happened way before in horror movies

  • @tvsonicserbia5140
    @tvsonicserbia5140 Před 9 lety +6

    This movie misses all points of Godzilla,first and most importantly Godzilla was about America throwing atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki,so it makes no sense for it to take place in America,and second,why the heck is it CG,one of the best things about Godzilla was that it was all real,old ones do look dated,but some of them look really good with costumes,like Godzilla Vs. Destroyah.And even just as an unrelated monster movie it has terrible story,acting and script!Also,in that scene where "we're supposed to feel sorry for it" comes out another flaw of the movie,you can't feel sorry for it,because it has no personality,unlike other Godzilla movies!Man,I just love what they did to this Godzilla in the next Japanese version,that was really smart.Japanese Godzilla really defeated Zilla(this is what "Godzilla" from this movie is called in that movie).

    The biggest question I always have in movies like this is "Why do we always try to kill it?"
    Granted in ID4 they attacked us first, but it happens all the time, which is just so stupid.
    Its no wonder why we haven't had any intelligent life make their presence known to the world because they know we'll just want to kill them.
    The original The Day the Earth Stood Still is a prime example of this as is the arrest of Superman in Man of Steel.
    Plus why is the Military always portrayed as being lead by people who either want to weaponise it or destroy it instead of intelligent people who will wonder why they are here or how the discovery can be used in a good way.

  • @CaliganVoid
    @CaliganVoid Před 10 lety +2

    I am getting so sick of people slagging off the latest Godzilla. It was amazing:
    1. Its not fair to whine about the lack of disaster porn.
    2. Its called showing restraint and being true to the original
    3. In the old films Godzilla (particularly in the good films) did not have all that much screen time and yet people are acting like they expected just 2 hours of mindless violence.
    4. If that was not bad enough people actually dare to insult a film for nor being 2 hours of disaster porn.
    5. Maybe Godzilla did not appear for chunks of the movie, but other cool monsters did and when the big guy was on screen it was always incredibly awesome.
    I think people have either put the original Godzilla (a great movie) on a pedestal, or they have been spoiled by the constant awesome action scenes of Pacific Rim. If you want a lot of great monster violence that's fine but its not what the original Godzilla was about so its not fair to judge this movie for not being like that. They don't even advertise it like that. It was marketed as an atmospheric tense monster movie and that is exactly what we got. It would be like judging Harry Potter as a comedy. Their are elements of it but that is not the main focus. Don't judge a movie for what you want it to be. Judge it by what it is trying to be and the degree to which it succeeds in being this. The action was restrained yet incredible, the directing, cinematography and music were amongst the best I have ever seen in any movie, the monster designs were awesome, the plot was effective and simple combining both a tense end of the world scenario and a personal journey and the characters while not on Game of Thrones levels were still likable and the amount of criticism against them, I found to be completely unfair. The acting was good, the music was great, and the directing and visuals were unparalleled. Its just a great movie. I plan to buy it on dvd the moment it comes out and might even see it in the cinema a second time.

    This was THE AMERICAN godzilla and I hate it! I HATE OUR GODZILLA Which thanks to how much we fuckin shit on it the Japanese not only gave their Godzilla and ours less than 30 seconds in a fight which the few Americans THAT DID find it good wanted, they also called it a less name instead of the god name they called it Zilla, because they hated it so much.
    I watched nearly every movie with godzilla in it and found that the Japanese absolutely HATED it, they wanted us to make it better hence why the latest one they had it made by a completely DIFFERENT company.
    but when me and my brother saw it, being big fans we both literally thought. WHAT THE HELL AMERICA!!! YOU JUST SHIT ON GODZILLA!!! THIS IS GODZILLA HOW DARE AMERICA DO THIS ON GODZILLA!!!!

      I was referring to the battle in Tokyo S.O.S when Japanese had their Godzilla actually battle the American Zilla. Which only lasted about 16-30 seconds top with Godzilla just winning in one move.
      It was a statement about how mad Japanese were at what America did TO Godzilla VIA this movie back then that makes it evident they did not at all like what America did to their Godzilla, I'm aware they gave him the same screentime but personally, I think I'd rather not have seen Godzilla at all in this version if he was going to appear as an old man version of Godzilla.
      Even the Japanese bad guy stated in the English dub "I knew he was worthless that fish eating lizard, next!" That was more of a fact from the Japanese when you get the English dub of that movie and realize, eesh yeah they hate Zilla, with a passion, even I hated it because I knew the actual story of Godzilla, the origin and it didn't make sense.
      But the Japanese were just as pissed.

    Micheal Jones of Rooster Teeth managed to successfully make "That's a lot of fish" humorous.

    is it just me or does the sound effect for the the ground splitting apart at 12:00 sound like a piece of paper being ripped in half?

    I know Doug isnt really a fan of the Godzilla movies, but he really should have mentioned one little detail thats the WORST part of the movie. it isnt the terrible acting, moronic story or even the terrible script. Its the fact that the Kaiju depicted in this movie ISNT GODZILLA!!!!
    Even Toho hates this movie because they screwed up Godzilla so bad. They actually own the rights to the kaiju now and officially re-named it Zilla. Its THAT pathetic. It was very satisfying to watch a real version of Godzilla obliterate him in Final Wars.

    Actually, I think Matthew Broderick was pretty funny in Ferris Beuller's Day Off.

    Why Didn't The Critic Mention Anything About The Real Godzilla?
    ( The Toho Godzilla! )

    Gotta thank the Nostalgia Critic on this one : that World Trade Center bombing reference always got me confused as a kid. I'm French and had no idea there had been a previous bombing. The guy mentions it, I do a double take and check again "But... I JUST saw the towers a few shots back? Are you from the future?".

    In the first Nostalgia Critic Fuck Up video, someone pointed out that certain species of lizard eat fish. (But for the Critic, that still doesn't excuse the line "that's a lot of fish")

    Let's hope the reboot is as awesome as it looks.

      Unless it is a guy in a rubber suit, it ain't a reboot.

      Darth Theo Hey, having a guy in a suit doesn't make a movie bad, ok?

    • @darththeo
      @darththeo Před 9 lety

      A S R I never said it did. I am saying that the Rubber suit makes it a Godzilla movie, imo.

    When the critic puts in "poppity pop pop pop", I actually giggled.
