If it were the REAL Kong, not the Toho oversized and overpowered one... It would have been Godzilla in the movie. But I still vote for Godzilla anyways because I own everyone one of his movies, buttload of his collectibles, and much much more. So you get my point.

Doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out who I stand beside.  But in all fairness, I did discover and root for Kong about a year or so before Gojira came into my life.

The one with Matthew Broderick as the star?  If you liked that Godzilla, you'll love the original!

Oh, no, no; I meant King Kong vs. Godzilla. ;D

I've seen both edits of the original 1950s Gojira - Japanese edit, and the Raymond Burr edition. 1998 remake doesn't hold a candle.

Post by: Noir-Gojira on Jun 25, 2007, 12:14:07 AM
It is.  Although there is actually only one version of the ending, the outcome itself is open to speculation.  King Kong fans will use the footage as evidence that Kong beat Godzilla into submission and swam home, whilst Godzilla-enthusiasts will argue that Kong was retreating and Godzilla-- satisfied with driving the ape off, went back into hibernation.

Personally, I prefer the more . . . philosophical explanation:

I know just by reading and commenting on a few threads around here that there is actually a large Godzilla fan-base around this forum, so I thought I would start this thread so we have a centralized location for chatting about Godzilla and other Kaiju.

First of all, I thought I would let you know that I am a big Godzilla fan.  I have liked him since I was around 4 years of age, and have enjoyed collecting the DVD sets, vinyl figures, and other misc. collector items.

Godzilla links:
GForever- Project Revival (http://www.gforever.net/index.php?collection) (Great site with some awesome collections of vinyl figures and other collector items)
Club Tokyo (http://www.clubtokyo.org/) (Website full of rare Godzilla figures and other items)

I have been a godzilla fan since i was 4, i remember when my dad and i went to a video store in down town Baltimore and we rented Gojira on VHS. Reasson why my dad rented it because i used to love dinosaurs when i was kid and ask him to see another dino movie, he chose the orginal godzilla movie on VHS. After i have been a huge godzilla fan!

I actually came to like Godzilla because I liked dinosaurs as well.  I remember watching the movies and acting out the scenes with my different figures that I had bought at KB Toys when TrendMasters figures were still popular, and other dinosaur figures I had purchased and acting out the scenes of the movies with them while I watched it. Mostly Destroy All Monsters. :P

Too bad I never had a realistic Gorosaurus or Manda figure.  I had to use some crappy dinosaur I bought and a rattlesnake. . . Ahh, good times. ;D

The first time I came into contact with Godzilla, was when I was 4 or 5 years old. My dad rented Godzilla 1985 and that movie just blew me away, from that moment on I became a Godzilla fan, and now I am up 26 out of 27 Godzilla films, not including that garbage that is Godzilla 98. I am still a Godzilla fan and I will forever always will be.

I really liked at the end of Final Wars that Minilla finally is able to shoot the atmoic breath, to me that symbolized that the torch has been finally passed onto the younger generation of fans and directors.
Title: Re: Toho's Godzilla (Gojira) and other Movie Monsters General Discussion Thread
Post by: Resurrection on Dec 26, 2007, 06:12:23 PM
I agree.  The scene with Minilla was good also for the fact that it showed that the movie series can return if they want it to because Godzilla just left unlike the majority of the movies where he is put to rest or dies in some form.

I have loved Godzilla for along time, not sure how long. I can't quite remember the order of them all now (i used 2) as i haven't bothered to watched one of the older bad ones in a long time. As for the newer series...

•Godzilla 85 - 1 out of 4 - Just hated it. I know some people around here like it but i found it to be just awful
• Godzilla vs Biollante - 2.5 ot of 4 - Surprising that i like this movie b/c i hate plants.
• Godzilla vs GH - Great movie!! Some of the effects where bad (when the humans were floating around) but overall it was very good
• Godzilla vs Mothra - 3.5 out of 5 - Would have been better if Godzilla won
• Godzilla vs Mecha-Godzilla - 3.5 out of 4 - Another great one. Little Godzilla was sort of silly but it's all good. I have the subtitled version so i don't have to deal with the bad dubbing.
• Godzilla vs Space-Godzilla - 1.5 out of 4 - Just wasn't good. Little Godzilla + his bubbles were the best thing about this film.
• Godzilla vs Destroyah - 3 out of 4 - A fitting way to see Godzilla go down, although it was certainly a shame (espec when the American Godzilla came out)

• Godzilla 2000 - 3.5 out of 4 - Really nice!! A great way to restart Godzilla + i really liked his look in this film.
• Godzilla vs Meguirmarus - 2 out of 4 - Spelling of that might be wrong but that's ok. I had heard from people that this film was good before i saw it + i guess i got my hopes up to high. I just didn't find it all that great.
• Godzilla, Mother, GH: Giant Monsters All Out Attack - 4 out of 4 - The best Godzilla film in my opinion. This movie had everything and was really well laid out. I know some fans took issue with the reworking of KG's history + the more fantasy approach but i think it worked nicely. The characters were also great in this film, even the supporting cast. Plus, we got to see Godzilla destroy everything in his path which is what i love.

Haven't seen any of the films since then. I'm sure i will someday but i don't know when.

Post by: Resurrection on Dec 27, 2007, 10:27:24 PM
Here's my ratings:

Gojira - 10/10.  A complete classic for and it was the movie that started it all.
Godzilla Raids Again - 8/10 It was good, but not one of the best of the Showa series.
King King vs. Godzilla - 6/10.  Had it's moments, but it wasn't as exciting as other movies in the Showa series.
Mothra vs. Godzilla - 5/10.  I can't stand Mothra so naturally, the movie was boring to me.  The Godzilla suit used in it was pretty good, though.
Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Monster - 6/10.  Once again, it had its moments, but the story was pretty ridiculous and hard to follow.
Monster Zero - 8/10.  I actually enjoyed this one quite a bit because of the scenes on Planet X when Godzilla and Rodan were fighting "Monster Zero".  Very fun to watch.
Godzilla vs. The Sea Monster - 6/10.  I thought this one was pretty boring compared to the movies that followed it.
Son of Godzilla - 3/10.  Boring in a way, and the Godzilla suit used in the movie really sucked, in my opinion.
Destroy All Monsters! - 10/10.  One of the best in the series.  The movie had some great destruction scenes specifically when Godzilla destroys New York and when Rodan flies over leveling Moscow. And last but not least, the final battle with Ghidorah is an ultimate classic.  Great scene with all of Toho's stockade of monsters.
Godzilla's Revenge - 2/10.  It had some good scenes but that doesn't help my rating because they weren't from the movie itself.  They were stock footage battle shots.
Godzilla vs. Hedorah - 7/10.  Very eerie compared to the other movies, but I actually enjoyed this one quite a bit for the dark themes and the battle scenes between Godzilla and the Smog Monster.
Godzilla vs. Gigan - 8/10.  I really enjoyed Gigan and the scenes when him and King Ghidorah first appeared.  The battle with him and Gigan was absolutely amazing as well.
Godzilla vs. Megalon - 7/10.  Another movie that could have been better, but I liked the battle scenes.
Godzilla vs. MechaGodzilla - 6/10.  Had some great scenes, but I was beginning to get bored with the alien premise of the series.
Terror of MechaGodzilla - 7/10.  Decent, but could have been better.
Godzilla 1985/Godzilla 1984 - 10/10. I enjoyed the dark theme used once again in the movie.  The Godzilla suit was awesome as well.  Very evil looking, like it wanted to destroy everything that was good as it marched through Tokyo.
Godzilla vs. Biollante  10/10.  Once again, great battle scenes and awesome Godzilla suit.
Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah - 10/10.  One of if not my favorite of the series, great battle scenes and King Ghidorah looked more kick-ass than before.
Godzilla and Mothra:  The Battle for Earth - 10/10.  Another classic of the Heisei series.  Great new look for Mothra and I absolutely loved Battra.  Wished he would have had more screentime than he actually did.
Godzilla vs. MechaGodzilla II - 10/10.  Enjoyed it, nothing I didn't like about it.
Godzilla vs. Space Godzilla - 9/10.  Great, but it had a lot of simple flaws that could have been don e better like when SG flew through space.  I thought that looked really fake and unrealistic. 
Godzilla vs. Destroyah - 10/10.  Amazing way to end the Heisei series, great effects and another movie with a dark theme that kept you guessing.  And Destroyah was great.
Godzilla 2000 - 7/10.  Not one of my favorites, but it did have several good scenes like when Godzilla killed Orga.
Godzilla vs. Megaguirus - 6/10.  Not one of my favorites and pretty boring until the end scene with Megaguirus and Godzilla.
Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack - 10/10.  Great scenes but my criticism in the movie was the Godzilla suit - very stupid looking.
Godzilla Against MechaGodzilla - 6/10.  Didn't really like this one and MechaG isn't one of my favorite characters.
Godzilla, Tokyo S.O.S - 5/10.  Kinda boring compared to the last one.
Godzilla, Final Wars - 5/10.  Not one of my favorites.  The movie was supposed to be about the monsters and there were lots of battle scenes but they were way too short.  The movie was more about the humans.

I don't consider that to be an actual Gojira movie since it wasn't made by Toho, it was made by TriStar.

Yeah, I have been a fan of Gojira for a LONG time. I think the first Godzilla film that I saw (and it's still my favoirte) was "Godzilla 1985". I never saw the Japanese version "Return of Godzilla", but after watching the American-version, I just had to see ALL the other films (at the time).

So, I went on a mission and bought all the Godzilla films, up until "Godzilla 1985". Then, some years later, I was at a Hollywood video and noticed "Godzilla vs. Biolante" and then I was at another video store that had international films and I noticed that there were new Japanese Godzilla films on Laserdisc (Godzilla vs. Ghidorah, Godzilla vs. MechaGodzilla, Godzilla vs. Space Godzilla, etc), so I rented all of those and watched them...even though I didn't understand Japanese (no sub-titles).

Anyway, I have seen ALL the Godzilla films now and I hope Toho will continue to make more, even though "Final Wars" was supposed to be the last...but we all know "Godzilla vs. Destroyer" was also supposed to be the last.

As I have mentioned here, before...I HATE the Roland Emmerich/Dean Devlin 1998 "Godzilla" film (I call it "Iguana"). What a terrible movie, with good, but wasted SFX. Not to mention the horrendous design of the creature and crappy script/plot. Argh it made me mad. When I saw that museum teaser trailer I was so f**king excited, for a long time and then I saw the film...man, what a disappointment.

Some of my other favorite Godzilla films are "Destroy All Monsters" and the original, "Godzilla vs. MechaGodzilla".

Godzilla also appeared on a Japanese TV show called "Zone Fighter", which I guess was on in the 1960's -1970's, but I wasn't even born then to see them on TV:

Yeah, I did.  Even though I couldn't stand the movie that inspired that series.  I think I might get it now that it's out on DVD to relive the battle scenes.  A lot of the monsters in that cartoon series were really cool as well.

What do you think the best/coolest roar Godzilla had throughout his career?  For me, it's the 1984-1991 roar.  I liked how deep and powerful it was:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AC5QOeyDh2A (starting at 27 seconds and the one
afterwards)

And what are your other favorite roars from monsters in the Toho monster movies?  Personally, I like Gigan's roar from the Showa series:  http://www.godzillatemple.com/hidden/gigan.wav

as far as rating the films goes...I'm finding this difficult. I mean, I would personally just rate them for the fights, as after the first time, I rarely watch the human parts ever again lol. Plus, I could rate them just as Goji movies and against each other or as apposed to other films like Alien or Predator...I'll need some time  ;)

Yeah, that's one of my favorites, and it was one of the most controversial battles as well because it was the first one to visually show Godzilla bleeding which was totally against the old special effects directors ideas.

Indeed, and a few years later (in Terror of MechaGodzilla to be specific), he bled heavily when Mecha shot his rockets at him.  And it is strange he doesn't bleed very often.

Well of course.  He was designed that way to look much more "kid friendly" or "parent friendly".  One of Toho's many disaster plans to get the youth to like Godzilla.  Going away from their original plan of having Godzilla be feared.  They made him into more of a child's savior.

Same here.  The special effects and the monsters were a lot better in those movies compared to the Showa series (of course).  What are your favorite movies of the Heisei series?  For me, it's Godzilla 1985 (The Return of Godzilla) and Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah.  I liked his roar and the evil look and portrayal of Godzilla in those movies.

I've seen it, but I thought Classic Media is releasing Rodan individually as it did with its box set a few years ago that included Godzilla, King of the Monsters, Mothra vs. Godzilla, Godzilla's Revenge, and Terror of MechaGodzilla?

Too bad the Godzilla 2 movie was never made, it was going to involved Zilla battling a mutant insect creature but Roland Emmerich chose to make The Patriot then a Godzilla 2.

Could have been easily made since they left the end of the 1998 movie wide open for a sequel.  Though, I'm kind of glad they didn't make another movie with Zilla in it.  I really did enjoy watching him get his butt kicked in Final Wars, though.

What was your guys' favorite Godzilla suit over his career?

I really liked the one that was used in Godzilla vs. Biollante and Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah ('91) for his muscular and powerful look.

I liked that one for the eyes and the slimmed down look.  The main thing I hated about the suit used for Godzilla 2000 and on (except for GMK) was the fact that I felt it was too bulky and the spikes were a bit of an overkill.  And I thought the look in Final Wars was more lizard-like in a strange way.

Anyone here like the original suit?

I know, I enjoyed Gojira a lot more than King Kong 1933.

Do you guys agree with me that the original roar of Godzilla in Gojira is one of the best he's had over the years?  I liked the eerie presence it gave you when hearing it. 

The weakest roar for me was the early Showa series.

The closest we"ve been to the original design in a while which is good in my book.
Title: Re: Toho's Godzilla (Gojira) and other Movie Monsters General Discussion Thread
Post by: Resurrection on Jan 12, 2008, 10:15:19 PM
Yeah, and I liked the way he was hunched over even though I've ready a lot of different people don't like that design.  But in a way, I think it's good to keep things a little different from previous suits and it actually seems realistic for the position of his head and neck for the suit. 

Also, I enjoyed the way they portrayed Godzilla in Godzilla, Mothra, and King Ghidorah:  All Monsters Attack.  It was back to the old way of him being a horrible terror to Japan and the world like in Gojira, Godzilla 1984, Godzilla vs. Biollante, etc.  I feel it was one of the most "evil" Godzillas ever in a Toho movie for the way he kept raging on.

2.) Godzilla 1984 (Godzilla 1984, The Return of Godzilla)
3.) Godzilla 2005 (Godzilla Final Wars)
4.) Godzilla 1954 (Gojira)
5.) Godzilla 2002 (Godzilla, Mothra, and King Ghidorah:  All Monsters Attack)

91

As much as I like the 1991 suit, it was hard for me to choose it over the 1984 suit.  Once again, I know that I have said it before, but the suit worked wonders for the "dark" theme of the movie and especially with the help of the music, really changed Godzilla into a real monster and not a child's friend like he was the last time he appeared on screen in 1975.

Post by: Resurrection on Jan 16, 2008, 02:30:50 AM
I'm just guessing that the next suit will be similar to the Final Wars '05 look just because I don't think Toho should or will stray too far from that design.  I liked it and I think a lot of other people did too.

Yeah, it is a bit strange but he did give Godzilla a good fight until the end.  The Super-X III was a lot more powerful in his previous movies, though.  Who do you think gave him the best fight?

And --

Who would have liked this ending better for Godzilla vs. Destroyah?

QuoteAn alternate ending was filmed. Destoroyah attempted to escape once Godzilla gained the upper hand, but the JSDF shot him down. Godzilla, despite suffering from his meltdown, continued to battle the vicious monster. Godzilla quickly overpowered Destoroyah, grabbing him by his horn and pummeling him repeatedly. As Godzilla's life melts away, the JSDF rain their ULT weapons upon him, as well as Destoroyah. Unable to stand against the immense heat of Godzilla's meltdown and the freezing coldness of the ULT lasers, Destoroyah falls and evaporates.

http://godzilla.wikia.com/wiki/Godzilla_vs._Destoroyah

It's basically the same, but I like the part that he would had been fighting him at the end.

The only reason I watched that movie was for Anguirus. Anguirus is awesome.

Indeed.

The face needed a little work, but I liked the body. Godzilla Samurai  down on DeviantArt did a real spiffy redesign of him a while ago, in fact he's redesigning all the Godzilla monsters, I'll find a link to his profile if you haven't seen it...hell, just type Godzilla into search, his stuff is all over the place.

His designs are very cool.  I've seen them before but I don't think I'd want to see them in an actual movie.  They look too much like monsters you'd see in the Godzilla animated series.  I guess I am too much a fan of the originals.  8)

Yeah, I haven't seen many of those myself.  Currently I only have two Godzilla books that I know of. I used to have the kiddie books such as "Godzilla Likes to Roar" and "Godzilla On Monster Island" but I think those are long gone.  "The Official Godzilla Compendium" and some Japanese Godzilla encyclopedia that I got at G-FEST 2005 are the only ones in my collection but I hope to get more this year in Chicago at G-FEST 2008 if I can go.

QuoteOriginally, the Godzilla featured in this film was intended to walk with his back and tail parallel to the ground, similar to Zilla- however, this idea was dropped due to the strain it put on the suit actor, and Godzilla retains his traditional posture.

It made sense why they tried to do it. in the first movie godzilla was put upright because at the time thats how dinosaurs like the t-rex were thought to be like. Just because something is vaguely like zilla doesnt make it automaticly bad. But I consider godzilla vs megalon the worst of the godzilla franchise.

I am not getting Unleashed. If I had the Wii I would, because it has a lot of new monsters. But the PS2 version only has Battra, and he plays exactly like Mothra, so what's the point?

I'm not really a big toy collector. I have lots of cheap Hasbro Godzilla toys from when I was a kid(both Japanese and American). I have one Godzilla toy that is a motion sensor and roars when people walk past it. I remember they used to come with little trading cards and comic books.

Speaking of which, anyone read the Dark Horse comic books? I have quite a few, used to have my mom buy them for me at the grocery store. Good times... I have the entire 6 issue retelling of Godzilla 1984 and this huge B&W compilation book called Godzilla: Past, Present, Future.

I like that one, too.  Not sure if it's my favorite, but the special effects were the best of the whole Heisei series.  I plan on watching that later tonight.  I wish I had it on DVD because I'm going to have to get out the old VHS tape to watch it unfortunately.

As much as I love, Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah, I thought a lot of the special effects scenes looked really bad.  Especially the part when Godzilla kills the old man.  I liked that scene up until the part when he kills the guy because of how fake it looks.

Yeah, the "1985" roar is so powerful. It is, without question, the best Godzilla roar. I also really, really love the main theme of 1984/1985.

I would really like to see a new remake of Godzilla, that is set in Japan back in the 1950's (as the original film), but with today's special effects. I think it would be incredible, if done right.

Since the release of the VERY disappointing, American "Godzilla", I have been hoping Toho will someday, decide to remake Godzilla once again, but use CGI effets (partner with ILM or Weta Digital) and keep the same Toho Godzilla design, but it make so that it looks more "realistic". Basically, the way Jan De Bont was going to protray Godzilla, back in 1994:

A remake of 'Gojira' would be pretty cool especially if done right like the one of King Kong.  I've always liked the movies where Godzilla doesn't fight an enemy better than the various movies of the series where he does.  Of course, it seemed more realistic than several monsters attacking at once which made it better.  I almost like Godzilla 1985 as much as I do the original movie.

I never really liked Godzilla's roar in 1992 and after in the Heisei series.  I thought each year after 1991 it got less deep which didn't make Godzilla seem as powerful as he did in Godzilla 1985, Godzilla vs. Biollante, and Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah.  I think the deep roar of those movies would have been more believable especially for Burning Godizlla in 1995.

Post by: Space Disc Jockey on Jan 27, 2008, 04:44:21 AM
I was SO excited about the 1998 Godzilla film, especially, when I saw that museum teaser trailer, but then I read about the film and how Devlin/Emmerich passed on the project before and were not real fans of the franchise and that's when I knew they would f**k up the film. They had no "desire" to make the film, other than getting a big pay check. That film was a total failure and waste of potential.

And then, we have Peter Jackson, who is one of the most gifted directors/visionaries working today and before he remade King Kong, I read up about his love for the original King Kong film and after watching the Lord of the Rings trilogy, you knew this guy could really do a spectacular King Kong remake. It's a shame the first hour of Jackson's King Kong is slow/boring, before they get to Skull Island.

The point I'm making, obvisouly, is that if you are going to remake a film, get a filmmaker who cares about the material and is passionate about making a good film.

King Kong had an incredible remake, while Godzilla did not. King Kong was remade with the original in mind (the 1930's setting, the dinosaurs, etc), while the Godzilla remake was just a giant iguana that ran around like a scared chicken in 1998 New York. Hell, even the Beast from 20,000 Fathoms was meaner than this "Godzilla".

I would really like to see a new Godzilla film that was basically, a remake of the original/1954 film. The original film was such a powerful message. The idea/concept of Godzilla is really f**king incredible.

This may sound strange, but I would really love to see Peter Jackson/Weta Digital make that Gojira remake. Combined, they both have the talent/technology.

GvB is one of my favorites. IMO, the animatronic Godzilla head is by far the best FX in the entire series. Godzilla has never looked so realistic. It's depressing that the more recent films have yet to do anything but make the explosions, Mothra, and the breath attack(s) look better.

I read somewhere that the "Gryphon" creature was originally, supposed to be King Ghidora, but Toho wanted a lot of money for it's use, so the filmmakers decided not to go for it.

The way I heard it was that the Gryphon was always to be the villain, but TOHO wanted to change it to King Ghidorah so that they could have two of their monsters on American film instead of Godzilla and a original monster. Of course, before the King Ghidorah draft of the script could be written Tristar panicked, dropped the script, fired the 94 writers and hired the Dumb and Dumber to write a brand new script.

I hear that the American Godzilla was going to be based on Junior (The baby godzilla in  Godzilla vs. SpaceGodzilla) who become a adult and fight the Gryphon.

Well, here's where I got the Godzilla 1994 info:

-----------------------------------------

Changes:

When MacPherson rewrote the script, principally to make it more stream-lined, with less effects shots and more in keeping with the somewhat miserly budget TriStar was allocating to the film, he made several changes. There were to be more apocalyptic images and references, going so far as to set the story in 1999. The characters of Keith Llewellyn and Marty Kenoshita were eliminated. The salvage ship scene would be replaced with a scene of an Eskimo fisherman (Junji, replacing the Japanese fisherman) on the ice with his son when the red blood appears. Godzilla does not awaken until the probe has landed, this time in Utah. Nelson Fleer becomes a redneck. At Fleer's wedding, the probe bats attack, killing his wife among others and giving Fleer a film-long desire to see the Gryphon dead. Vaught is a former student of Llewellyn's and it is she who convinces the head of the St. George Project, a government man named Pike, to allow the writer on-board. It is also Vaught, not the Japanese fisherman, who names Godzilla after a legendary dragon. Junji the Eskimo is the one infected by the ancient civilization, the injury occurring in his eye rather than neck. The battle with the Gryphon encompasses more of New York, some scenes occurring at the World Trade Center. In the end, Godzilla bests the Gryphon at Ellis Island, spitting the alien's detached head on the Statue of Liberty's torch. Jill and Vaught intercept a missile flying at the victorious Godzilla with their helicopter. Godzilla catches the damaged helicopter and gently sets it down on Ellis Island, saving the heroes before retreating into the Atlantic.

The biggest change was forced by Toho themselves. Rossio and Elliott originally wanted to have a different foe for Godzilla to fight, but Toho wanted more money to allow another famous monster to be used. The Gryphon was a substitute for the ultimate in evil beasts ... King Ghidorah!


History:

TriStar secured rights from Toho to produce an American Godzilla film in 1992. One of the key players in this arrangement was Henry G. Saperstein, who had brought several Godzilla films to America with his United Productions of America. TriStar originally hoped to have the film released in 1994. However, it was not until May of 1993 that Terry Rossio and Ted Elliott were asked to write a screenplay. The script was completed in November, but TriStar had yet to select a director for the film.

In July of 1994, well after the originally announced release date, TriStar tapped Jan DeBont to direct the film. DeBont confessed to liking the older Godzilla films, although he stated that many of the later ones with their monster free-for-alls were a bit silly. Although he intended to keep humor in the picture, DeBont also pledged to deliver stunning effects and preserve the indomitable spirit of the Japanese Godzilla. DeBont assembled a team and had Rossio and Elliott rework the script to make it more to his liking. The revised script was ready in December of 1994.

After Industrial Light and Magic turned down working on the Godzilla project, in October of 1994 it was announced that Stan Winston's Digital Domain would be doing the effects work for Godzilla, with a reported budget of around $50 million. The entire film was estimated to cost around $120 million. DeBont sent crews to construct a Japanese fishing village on the Oregon coast, filming Godzilla's attack on the Kuril Islands as the backbone for a teaser trailer. The sets were built, but filming did not occur. Sony, TriStar's parent company, panicked when they saw the massive price tag being affixed to DeBont's Godzilla project. In late December of 1994, TriStar and Jan DeBont parted company after the director refused to accept the studio's new budget restrictions. Although the script was rewritten again, this time by Donald MacPherson in May of 1995, the project was to all intents, dead. TriStar began to court Dean Devlin and Roland Emmerich, the team who had just reaped huge profits with Independence Day in late 1995. By May of 1996, Devlin and Emmerich officially had the job. They agreed to bring the movie in for about half of what DeBont wanted, $65 million. In the end, the resulting iguana rampage offered no aliens, ancient civilizations, atomic heat rays, or shape-shifting Gryphons. It did offer an eventual cost of $150 million for TriStar to swallow, plus the astronomical ad campaign.

The monster fights aren't that great either. I just don't get how people can like GMK so much. All it has going for it is a meaner looking Godzilla, that's it.

I consider it, alongside GFW, one of the best Millennium films.

It was a different, fresh take on Godzilla, by a talented director with a genuine love for the series (and genre on a whole). Both GMK and GFW have that one thing going for them.

It isn't pefect, no, and too cliché in parts, but I still find it to be a good movie. Kaneko's done better though (his Gamera trilogy, for example).

As far as "bulky Heisei-style powerhouse kaiju" go, I'd prefer to see SpaceGodzilla back. IMO, he's an awesome concept and design with enormous potential, it's just a shame he had to end up in such a weak movie. :(

I consider the majority of the Heisei movies (Return of Godzilla and Godzilla vs. Biollante excluded) weak at best, so I'm not hating on GvSG exclusively. I still consider it more fun than Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah, which just sucked.

I like SG's design just the way it is, but if they can redesign him well, then I'm not against it, as long as he returns in some form.

The battles, while they rather obviously cut corners effects-wise ('kay, this applies to every '90s entry in the series), were fun, and together with the kaiju themselves the only reason I enjoy the movie. :P

Godzilla 2000 mostly felt a lot like a cheap rip-off of Gamera III, to me. That aside, Orga's an interesting foe, and the big guy himself looks great. I'd say it's the weakest of the Millennium series.

My favorite movies are still Godzilla vs. Biolante, Godzilla vs. Destroyah, Godzilla 2000, and Godzilla vs. Megaguiras. And Godzilla 1984(0r 5), it was much darker and the score was creepy, but when I saw it as a kid I was terrified of the beginning sequence where the sea lice killed everyone in the ship, reminds me a lot of Cloverfield when the things came off the monster.

Just in case someone assumes Spielberg dislikes Godzilla, he doesn't. In fact, he considers Godzilla '54 the greatest "dinosaur movie" of all time, and did the San Diego sequence in The Lost World as a tribute/homage to the Godzilla series.

I didn't like Megagurirus because he was a born monster and not orignal. I also didn't like the ending for GVM as well.

The one thing that confused me is that the events in Godzilla, Mothra, Ghidorah Monsters all out attack makes it that none of the other movies ever happened, what's up with that?

Most of the new movies have their own continuities. They are all reboots except that Godzilla x Mechagodzilla and Tokyo SOS were related.

I think Final Wars is related to the olde series because there was flash backs of the older monsters and also Godzilla didn't kill Rodan, Anguirus and King Caesar.

It's not a true godzilla, they named it just plain Zilla. For a godzilla design he dosn't take the cake, but his design is pretty cool, I love zilla, he's cool 8) 8) 8)

Post by: Ratchetcomand on Feb 12, 2008, 04:51:59 PM
I like the desgin for Zilla because it was cool and it look more like a T-rex.  A lot of people hated Godzilla 1998 for what they did to Godzilla, but it was more than just that. The movie had no character development and the acting really sucked (No one the actors act like they didn't care if a huge lizard attack the city or not). The audio and the picture was crap and you only seen Godzilla for 4 times in the movie and that site. And most of the time you see him, you only see his foot or his tail.

Post by: DoomRulz on Feb 12, 2008, 05:27:48 PM
I disagree with how much we saw of Zilla, we saw his entire body alot of times. My problems with the film were three-fold at least.

1) Pregnant Godzilla (WTF, why not just put him on water skiis and have jump over a cage of sharks, seriously...)
2) Poor SFX (the buildings looked like cardboard cutouts when the choppers are chasing him)
3) Godzilla RUNNING AWAY from the military (another WTF moment)

Americans tend to want to make their monsters realistic (King Kong, Zilla), where as the Japanese make their kaiju more fantastical and powerful.

I'll tell you why that is. Japan is the only country to have experienced mass destruction, and the creation of their kaiju is a result of that. So their monsters are much more like atomic bombs, mass destruction machines that can't be stopped.

Jean Reno is best known for the kick ass film, "The Professional" aka "Leon". I wish they made a sequel to that, with Portman as the lead.

Anyway, I hated everything about the 1998 Godzilla (including, the creature design). The filmmakers just didn't understand what Godzilla was supposed to be/represent. Godzilla is not a scared chicken, nor is it a freakin iguana. Argh. It just makes me mad thinking about it.

Interesting note that Clive Barker and Jim/John Thomas also wrote Godzilla screenplays. Wish I could read them.

I've become something of a DevianTard, and while I've always been a big fan of several artists on there, but one day while puttering around on the search engine I came across an image that was beautiful in it's horror.

(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Ffc03.deviantart.com%2Ffs35%2Ff%2F2008%2F290%2Ff%2F4%2FGOJIRA_by_Nihilove.jpg&hash=521f43588a125e58a1269b6ac8346bab19164042)

The artists name is Nihilove, and we've traded comments on both his deviations and mine, he's a pretty cool guy, and his artwork is intense and hauntingly beautiful. But this image, and the ones that followed it struck me.

Raise your hands if you think Godzilla is nothing but a dumb fat guy in a green lizard suit knocking down cardboard buildings and that that's what he's always been?

I'm a huge G-Fan, but I'll be the first to tell you that the Big G's just a shadow of what he was. Godzilla 2000? Godzilla vs Megaguirus? Can any of my fellow fans look me in the eye and tell me that Toho (the company that owns Godzilla for those who don't know) has been doing any better at keeping Godzilla's image intact then Tristar did with Iquanasaurus Rex? Sure GMK was a masterpiece and Tokyo S.O.S. was a fun ride, but come on, S.O.S. had it's fair share of "dur hur hur hur" moments and GMK had more than it's fair share of flaws.

Now how many of you know that the original Gojira, not the american redit with Raymond Burr, but the original film, was a horror film?

(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Ffc67.deviantart.com%2Ffs34%2Ff%2F2008%2F297%2F8%2F9%2FGOJIRA___FALLOUT_by_Nihilove.jpg&hash=305eb59dcd286a446565deb24b0f4b776c12043d)

The image you are seeing above is the one that Nihilove is known for, and it captures the spirit of Gojira perfectly.

I'm sure many of you have read my posts on the nature of Godzilla's first rampage. He turned the city of Tokyo into a sea of flames, he was attacking people, and not for food either, he was just attacking for...well no one knew what he wanted. That's why he was so scary, because he was going to kill you, burn down your city, and you wouldn't even know why. He wasn't doing it out of anger, or hunger, or because he was scared, he was doing it because he could. He essentially nuked Japan for a third time.  For no reason.

Gojira was the unknown, you couldn't stop him, you couldn't bargain with him or attempt to appease him, you couldn't fight back. This ageless horror was going to destroy you city, burn everything you owned, kill you, your family, and your pet cat, and you could do nothing to fight him. Even when they did manage to kill him, either another of his kind rose to take his place...or he came back to life. He was a force of nature, he was a terror made flesh, and...then this  (http://"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GMxrXMjPMcc")happened.

And Godzilla just...sucked. There, I said it. Godzilla sucked big hairy electrical ape balls in the seventies. Don't get me wrong, I loved those films, I also love AVPR. And AVPR is crap, major crap, it smells of it, looks like it and tastes like it (but God damn it has exploding pregnant women!)...but in 1984...

Godzilla was back baby, and he was pissed! f**k yeah! And if any film can be called a "true" Godzilla film, it's 1984, that movie embodied Godzilla at his darkest, his parasites were deadly (sorry guys, the Chatterbugs aren't the first of their kind) Godzilla was on his own, and with no monsters to share the big screen with, Godzilla could taint the screen with his own brand of Hellish fury. While the destruction did not match that of his 54 rampage, Godzilla 1984 brought the Big G back to his roots. A vicious villain who was going to kill you dead and dance on your children's blackened bones, why? Well, in this movie it was because he hungered for nuclear energy, but that didn't stop him from wanting to turn you into a pile of radioactive ash. It was grim, it was dark, it was Grimdark. It was Godzilla at his best. It was followed by Godzilla vs Biollante, also Grimdark, but there was more cheese...then...Godzilla vs King Ghidorah.

And the cycle began again. Godzilla wasn't a superhero anymore but God Damn he was hitting the Cheeseburgers hard.

(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fgodzillathrone.com%2Fgodzilla89.jpg&hash=3e3c90676fe89f07ede50f63eaa853804fb991d3)

f**k you Toho.

And then Godzilla was now...you guessed it...fat guy in a rubber suit! DURHURHURHURHUR!(I'd like to take a moment to state that no suit actor in Godzilla history has ever been overweight, it takes a lot to move in that suit and if you're not in top physical form you're going to be dead in five minutes. The suits weigh a lot and it's really f**king hot in them)

Also, f**k you Toho.

Godzilla vs Destroyah attempted the Grimdark, but it kind of failed. It soon disolved into nothing more than Aliens ripoffs and...

(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.geocities.com%2Fmeniscusenterprises%2Fdestroyah.gif&hash=6ebd3dddc65e72ffc086ffddbc0ef9e777b6771d)


Also Godzilla's death scene was underwhelming and much to sappy. Godzilla vs Destroyah was an attempt to break the cycle and make Godzilla Grimdark again, and it just didn't have it. That said, Burning Godzilla will eat your dreams, he has no power source, his beam weapons run on angry.

The ninties Godzilla era began with promise and Grimdark. Ended with....Alien ripoffs and a gigantic crab cake with a flower on his chest.

There's nothing much to say about newer Godzilla movies. Godzilla 2000: Disapointing. Godzilla vs Megaguirus: Crap. Godzilla X Mechagodzilla: Crap. Tokyo SOS: Cheese and explosions....GMK.....grim, but lacking dark. Godzilla Final War...

Dear God what an awful way to end the series. It was the seventies all over again, but without the giggle factor.

So I look back on the series, on the beginning and the end, at the Smog Monsters, the Astro Monsters, the Alien rip offs and the Grim Dark, and I've come to one conclusion.

Cloverfield had it.

Cloverfield had the Grimdark,.

Sure it only had a little bit, but it got the general idea. Monster's here, you're f**ked. I doubt Cloverfield will ever be as scary as Godzilla, I doubt that's where the series is heading, but God damn it, it's a step in the right direction. Away from Godzilla 1998, away from Reptilian and Dragon Wars...

Intentional or not, Cloverfield is as much of a homage to the spirit of Gojira as it is America's monster. Maybe the folks at Toho will watch Cloverfield and remember what Godzilla is about. Not mindless destruction, but fear. Terror. Godzilla is coming for you and you can't do anything about it because before the night is out you're going to burn and die horribly. That's Godzilla, not a superhero, not a iguana, not a fat guy in a rubber suit. That's the power of the Grimdark, that's my perfect Godzilla movie, and in a few years when Godzilla returns to the big screen...that's what I want to see.

Sony lost the rights to Godzilla in 2003, back in 1999 they had plans for a sequel with Brain Helgeland as the wirter. The movie had the baby zilla in his full grown size and he would fight another monster that was a bug like monster much like Megaguirus was but due to issues with Toho led to the canceling of the planned sequel since the movie was hated then Roland Emmerich would go on to direct The Patriot.

they were planning a sequel that involved the last baby zilla to become like that, since it is the second generation of their kind. people just never gave it a chance. origin movies always start off slow and not how people want. people are just never patient to see how the sequels turn out.

Zilla in the second movie was going to have fire power. After Roland drop the project, Sony had a idea to do a reboot in 2002 which would be a loose sequel much like the new Hulk movie was but Sony lost the rights to it a year later. Sony had a 12 year contract with Toho to do a american movie since they got the rights to it in 1991 and they had plans to do over three movies since Toho like the idea of American having it own Godzilla.

This is the first i've heard of any Zilla-being-like-a-true-GODZILLA. Well, they're dumb for taking so damn long, they should have just done it like that in the first place, they had their chance and wasted so many damn years doing so.

I'm excited about this too since I'm always up for a new Godzilla movie since he is all time fictional character. I feel like this movie is in the same foot steps as the King Kong remake, since the 70's remake suck and it got a better remake years later.

Yeah. If it's Toho, go for it. Otherwise, I hope not. Alot of monsters need to step out for awhile though. We've seen MechaG, Mothra and King Ghidorah way too way times. Titanasaurus, Biollante, and Angurius need to come back. Also, a new/changed Spacegodzilla would be cool.

There never needs to be a remake of Godzilla - ever. Sure i'm all for a new Godzilla film but calling it a remake would be irritating. I hated the 1984 reboot myself - Godzilla 2000 was pretty sick though. The American Godzilla isn't even a real Godzilla movie so it doesn't count.

OMGodzilla! lol

I hope this is true. Godzilla DESERVES a true remake. It needs to be set in 1950's Japan, filmed in black and white and using CGI/animatronics. As for the design, it needs to be a cross-between the original 1950's design and "Return of Godzilla" (Godzilla 1985). And that roar must be from that film too. I REALLY hope Legendary/Toho get together and make this happen!!

And the "Always 2" clip with the full CGI Godzilla and 1950's setting...YES!! VERY close to what I'm talking about:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SEEXydQc9KE (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SEEXydQc9KE)

I'm all for either Industrial Light and Magic or Weta Digital to do the special effects for the potential Godzilla remake. It wouldn't really make a difference which one is chosen to do the special effects for the film, as long as both companies get their finest visual effect artists to do the visuals, these two companies are literally neck to neck when it comes to film visual effects in my opinion.

If Godzilla (hopefully) fights a monster in this movie, who should it be? One he already fought or something new?
Title: Re: New Godzilla remake?
Post by: Yautja117 on Aug 18, 2009, 02:12:43 PM
If it's a remake, he shouldn't fight anything. But if it's another "reboot" then something new. Mothra, MechaG and King Ghidorah are way over used.

Essentially, I think that Legendary Pictures should set about to establish the Godzilla character first and explain his origins and roots and create him as faithfully to his original counterpart as they can, much like what Universal did with King Kong. If this movie truly is a remake of the original then it definitely won't include any other monster antagonist for Godzilla to battle against, and if it's a reboot, in my opinion, it shouldn't include a monster for Godzilla to battle against as well, as I think that this movie should be dedicated to the true, more horrific and monstrous Godzilla that first was conceived by the filmmakers of the original and one that has been dormant for so long.   
Title: Re: New Godzilla remake?
Post by: Space Disc Jockey on Aug 19, 2009, 02:51:10 PM
This movie needs to establish the "new" Godzilla. It ONLY needs to be about him. Just re-tell the original, 1954 "Gojira" in 1950's Japan. Of course, they can come up with something other than the Oxygen Destroyer concept, but basically, redo the story in the same setting, as the original film, just like Peter Jackson did with King Kong. It's all about re-introducing this new Godzilla to audiences. Giving him a backstory and then for the next film and sequels, introduce monsters.

The way I see it is this...at the end of this remake, tease us with another monster, like King Ghidorah. Kind of like teasing the Joker to us at the end of Batman Begins. I see King Ghidorah start out as three, seperate, dragon-creatures and eventually, they mutate and form into one giant beast.

Post by: Nightmare Asylum on Aug 19, 2009, 05:16:42 PM
I have a logical explanation to why this remake will be good!

First we get an amazing movie (King Kong 1933, Godzilla 1954). It is loved, but some people consider it outdated. We then get a "remake" (King Kong 1976, Godzilla 1998) that is barely like the original other than the name and concept. Finally, we get another try at remaking the movie (King Kong 2005) and it is more like the original, and while not as good as the first, it is loved for actually respecting the original.

So if this goes the same routs as King Kong 2005 with someone who actually likes the Japanese movies, then this remake should be great!

No matter where it happens- if Godzilla is unnatural, caused by human interference and radioactivity, why is he always a force of nature? Every time, he does damage, and it's undone. But if he shouldn't exist, why doesn't he disrupt nature? If he exists, he probably ends up destroying everything. Even the ecosystem.

Title: Re: New Godzilla remake?
Post by: Spidey3121 on Aug 26, 2009, 02:50:02 AM
Yeah... i don't want a remake, @ all. The original Gojira never needs to be remade. A reboot, mush like Godzilla 1985? - sure, as long as it doesn't suck like Godzilla 1985 did. Godzilla 2000 was a pretty solid reboot, although little back story was established - Godzilla simply existed. Of course the Millennium series didn't keep continuity from one film to the next, save Mechagodzilla's 3 + 4.

It's a shame they stopped making Godzilla films in the 90's... yes, Spacegodzilla more or less sucked but it wasn't as bad as many of the late 60's + early 70's G films. Plus the other 4, GvKG, GvM, GvMG, GvD, were all excellent!! It's a damn shame they sold the rights to Sony when they did...
Title: Re: New Godzilla remake?
Post by: SiL on Aug 26, 2009, 04:37:48 AM
They stopped because they wanted to, more or less, not necessarily because they sold the rights to Sony. The plan had been to restart the Japanese franchise after Sony had done their three movies, but after they ignored all of Toho's requests on the first one they brought their plans ahead and rebooted Godzilla earlier for the millennium series.

I'm glad they stopped in the 90s - Godzilla works, I feel, best in small doses. Once the series runs on too long, like the original run, it just starts getting silly. The Vs. and millennium series avoided this by quitting while they were ahead.
Title: Re: New Godzilla remake?
Post by: Spidey3121 on Aug 26, 2009, 04:57:31 AM
Yes, i'm aware they chose to stop + allow Sony to produce a trilogy of films. Still, i find that series of films to be the best, despite my hatred of Godilla 1985 + the disappointment that was Godzilla vs. Spacegodzilla. It appears Godzilla vs. Biollante isn't held with much regard but i like it alright enough. GvKG, GvMG + GvD make up 3 of my favorite 5 Godzilla movies, with the original Gorjira + GMK being the other 2. I really don't think the Heisei series would have simply become bad should it have continued. I mean, i suppose they would have run out of fresh ideas eventually... Still, very poor 'creative' choices resulted in the many many poor Godzilla films of the late 60's/early 70's. If those poor choices could have been avoided, poor choices = Sea Monster, Godzilla's Revenge, Megalon, all the silly plots involving aliens invading Earth, then there is no real reason to think the quality would have diminished. Although i suppose it's good that they stopped when they did, before they really messed one up. I guess i'm more split on this than i thought - lol.
Title: Re: New Godzilla remake?

Godzilla (Japanese) is missing one think: Fire breath. You know, just to rub it in Zilla's face, since he doesn't have it. :)
That is awesome! But, this is only seconds from Zilla being toasted...

After Destroyah was the 2000, Final Wars, Megaguirus, etc... Monster. The spikes on the back are way different and the face more corresponds with Godzilla Jr.

Huh? How could they be? They were all separate/unrelated films (save Godzilla X Mechagodzilla & Tokyo SOS), which had their own individual time lines.

Take a look at the "Godzilla" that's alive at the end of Destroyah. You can't tell me that doesn't look like the monster in the Millennium series.

Post by: Yautja117 on Aug 30, 2009, 10:27:35 PM
Not really. It looks like 90's Godzilla. He is similar, as all of them are, but in the mellenium series, each film was a stand-alone movie, with the exeptions of the two Mechagodzilla films.
Title: Re: New Godzilla remake?
Post by: cloverfan98 on Aug 31, 2009, 04:13:16 AM
There is actually nothing in Godzilla 2000 (beside the changes in G's look) to suggest that it takes place in a different timeline from Destroyah. Although all the following films each had their own seperate timelines, aside from Mechagodzilla and Tokyo SOS.
Title: Re: New Godzilla remake?
Post by: Yautja117 on Aug 31, 2009, 04:46:48 AM
Exactly, but Gvs Destroyah was the last of it's series. Also, wouldn't someone have mentioned Destroyah or the other monsters that had appeared?
Title: Re: New Godzilla remake?
Post by: SiL on Aug 31, 2009, 08:30:26 AM
The intention was that babyzilla from GvD would go on to be the main Godzilla whenever they restarted the series. I can't remember anything in Godzilla 2000 saying otherwise (Been a while).

Toho did say that Godzilla 2000 was part of a brand new series, but the film never really disproved if it was related to G Vs Destroyah or not.

Yeah that one got shut down fast. Its likley we won't hear much for some time to come because it seems like Toho and Legendary are still trying to seal the deal, never mind getting the script written, the actors cast, and getting the director.

Megaguirus is up there.

Holy God man. Have you SEEN any other Godzilla films?

Personally: G vs. Biollante, G vs. King Ghidorah (90's), G vs. Mothra (90') Terror of Mechagodzilla (70's) and Godzilla 1984 are always, always a good watch.

The original Rodan is pretty sweet too. 

Man, IMO, the Hesei Series is where Ifukube (the composer) really f**king shined. I love powerful, grand Godzilla scores.

For the simple reason that the stock footage battles in Revenge are still more entertaining than that terrible battle in Megalon.  However, Revenge is probably overall the worst movie.

QuoteMan, IMO, the Hesei Series is where Ifukube (the composer) really f**king shined.

In my opinion, the heisei series is where everything shined; the plots, the effects, the characters, and the monsters.

It sucks how so many of the old Godzilla forums were shut down.  These days fans of the series have nowhere to go to talk about the films other than IMDB.  To the best of my knowledge Toho doesn't even have an official forum, and the MZ forums have sucked ass for years.

Dear God no, I heard that place is even worse than the MZ forums.  I used to post on MZ like ten years ago but I left because the place went downhill with all the bad vibes.  I guess it doesn't matter though, because Toho ended the series five years ago and there's not much to talk about anyway.   

However, I'm looking forward to seeing what happens with the new American Godzilla film.  Hopefully interest in giant monster movies will increase and reinvigorate the fan community.  Also, fans in the west really need the heisei films on good quality DVDs.

Yeah I think the name of the forum was ClubTokyo or something like that.

From what I hear, most of the people who post at MZ also post at TK, and the majority of them are fanboy douchebags. 

That's why I left MZ, none of the morons there accepted any film made after 1975 even though the 60s and 70s produced most- if not, all- of the worst Godzilla films.

That's why I hate fanboyism.  Luckily the Alien and Predator franchise is much better in terms of fans; they respect others' opinions.

Those Blu Ray shots look awesome  :o, look like if the movie was just release in theathers. Hard to believe G98 is almost 12 years old, and I still remember when it cameout back in 98. Good times, I seen the movie twice when it cameout along getting most of the toys too.

You said it.
Read what Dean Devlin said to Sci-Fi Japan! A little jokes here 'n here:
"A film I made once called GODZILLA was designed to be printed on the old fashioned, three-stripe system of Technicolor. Everything we did in post-production was designed for that result. And, literally just before the film came out, we were unable to make those prints... there was a technical glitch and we couldn't make those prints so we had to move to a different format. Well, that different format truly hurt the digital effects. They went from being— I think— literally the best digital effects up to that point in our history, to looking somewhat shabby. All of the blacks got muddy, I lost all the detail within special effects shots, feet didn't look like they hit the ground. And suddenly, the effects went from being spectacular to being... a C+.""Now, with the new Blu-ray coming out, it's literally the first time that audiences are going to see the movie the way it was intended to look. Now, you know, just on a technical level, that's a very interesting thing for us as filmmakers."

Wow, and I loved this movie with the old CGI.

I still have my ticket, I was six years old and saw it on opening day. It came with slide out film strip with photos from the movie.

Godzilla's always held the top spot when it comes to monster movies. Even in Gojira, when he was the bad guy, I liked him. There is no "bad" Godzilla film... Except when he fought King Kong and lost. Yeah, I could've done without that one.

For me, with "Stargate," "Independence Day," "Godzilla," and "The Patriot," Emmerich and Devlin were right on target with what movies were all about in the 90s, and they made some of my favorite movies growing up. "Godzilla" was just the icing on the cake, for me, but a whole lot of people feel differently about "Godzilla" and Roland Emmerich.

Now, being an Air Force man myself, I could've done without the bumbling morons that were the US Military in the movie, but in "Gojira," the military wasn't much better, so I can accept that. :D

Through the entire film the creature is pregnant (in the first part) and has aftermath of pregnancy (in the second part) Pregnancy is sorrowful and energy taking, for every living being that experiences it, even a hyper-mutated one. The Creature still caused more destruction than most of the older films.
Plus, I've never seen the ol' Japanese guy doing traps, or even utilizing his opponents' power against themselves.

I can't even begin to tell you how stupid that whole idea was. Seriously, pregnant? WTF. Nevermind that the little Zillas were more like Velociraptors than anything else, the entire idea was just...out there. The old films didn't need such a story in order to keep things interesting. They just had Godzilla smashing stuff and inventing new ways of fighting him.

A child is a child, a human. For such, s/he finds crushing ants is funny. Not sure if Godzilla knows the definition of "funny" or can feel that something is "funny".

The thing you have to keep in mind about the differences between Godzilla and Zilla, is that they are two totally different things. Godzilla was created from the begining as a symbol of the atomic bomb and its death dealing power. Godzilla had a motive and he was also a sympathtic character. He was created to be a monster, or like an angry god. He was nature striking back at mankind. While Zilla has a similar origin, Zilla was created to be an animal and not a monster. And thus he behaved like an animal as apposed to the orginal Godzilla's destructive nature.

that's what they were planning for the sequel.  since the baby zillas were much larger than the iguana that the original zilla came from, they would have become larger, (mainly the last one that survived) like in the cartoon (which was suited as the sequel to the first film.  i've read the script for the sequel, and it sounds like it would have been a bad ass movie.  Zilla 2.0 develops his radioactive breath, fights monsters; all your good old classic godzilla stuff in there.

Japanese Godzilla got his ass kicked numerous times in the films, to always end up bouncing back as the victor in the end so your point is moot.

Yeah, saw it the first time almost 2 years ago.
I would have agreed with this guy if we were talking about a sequel, because most of the points he talks about (design, plot, etc.) could be considered highly bad if Godzilla '98 was a sequel to, say, the original Gojira. But when we talk about a Remake... it is supposed to be different, it is supposed to be something new. Why do a remake in first place then?

Also damn ('scuse me), he started the Raptor fad... *sigh* after that a bunch of monsters even other than Godzilla Babies were accused of being a "rip-off"  ::)

you guys also got to remember, that the original Godzilla was killed by the Oxygen Destroyer. no other weapon could kill Godzilla, even in the modern films he is indestructible. it usualy takes another monster to defeat him, and still he can never be killed. GMK proved that even blowing Godzilla up into smitherines still won't stop him, sence his heart was revield to be beating and growing a new body.

but the american Godzilla was not the Japanese Godzilla, however I did like the monster. it looked cool and the movie was ok. I liked the cartoon series better.

realy, I prefer the Japanese godzilla more. mainly cuz I love the charactor. I mean, who wouldn't like to see a giant radioactive Lizard burn down an intire city and fight other monsters? I especialy hate it when people rip on me for liking Godzilla. basicly, if you live in south-east missouri, and you like Godzilla, instead of tractors, horses, and farming, you get more aggression twards you then they would against terrorists. now, I can understand some people aren't into Godzilla, but these hicks and hillbillys do NOT like it if you don't like what they like. and showing your love for something like this usualy ends with everybody treating you like a criminal.

but it ain't stopin me. I am a godzilla fan and thats that, I even got plans for a Godzilla costume. me and my Girlfriend will be making it. it'll be designed after the 1954 Godzilla with some modifications.

Post by: OmegaZilla on Mar 27, 2010, 06:53:28 PM
The Ending of Godzilla Vs. Destoroyah did it better IMHO.
Godzilla Final Wars is something beyond the worst. It has laughable suits (look at Godzilla 2000.... or any of the Heisei Gamera Trilogy and tell me, aren't they much better despite the lower budget?), Mainly Anguirus and Caesar (which looks like he's just out of the Muppet Show, not that the old version was better), crappy, really crappy fights (My God... I wanted to stop after seeing the 1 on 4 battle with Anguirus, Caesar and Rodan... it was the most ridicolous thing I have ever seen in a Godzilla film) that last around seconds (seconds!) and mainly, continuous and so out of place scenes that belong more to Matrix or Independence Day.
You are making a film for the 50th anniversary of Godzilla, and you make this? Wow. Destroy All Monsters was really better.
Only positive things are Gigan and Rodan's new designs, and the nice new addition on Ghidorah's appearence (althoug done in bad cgi).

I agree, but I prefer the ending to GFW, both are equally as great to me, but the reason I pick GFW is because the way it symbolized the younger generation by having Minya/Minilla actually finally doing the atomic breathe.

As a kid i cried at that scene, godzilla was my favourite in a wierd ass kind of way cooler hero more so than ultraman or power rangers (even if i dig it as a kid).

Knowing the fact that he choose die a slow torturous internal meltdown rather than going out in a mother of all nuclear explosion just show how noble he is. Well atleast that how the dub goes.

This movie is gonna be awesome! The 1998 movie was great, probably because it introduced me to the Japanese ones. The monster wasn't as good as the Japanese one, but it is a welcomed addition to the franchise, as long as I consider it a spin off, of sorts.

No suit.
Just Idraulic animatronics for closeups just like G98.

Animatronic and CGI, no suit. (I love me the suit, but I think the animatronic would be a good compromise).

And no American design. I'd love to see Godzilla proper, but it's not gonna happen - Some happy medium between Hollywood's ceaseless bullshit hard-on for 'realism' and the Big G himself.

i agree, i like Godzilla 98's interpretation, but if he had a smaller head and was made to look slightly more bipedal that would be ideal, also make his head look more crocodile/alligator/dragon/dinsaur inspired rather than iguana inspired, i get why they went for iguana in 98 though but i think i'd prefer a more alligator inspired head to iguana head. besides alligators look scarier than iguanas

In many instances a suit qualifies as an animatronic. Remember the stage show version of Walking With Dinosaurs? That and CGI mixed would be nice experience indeed. Gives the whole thing a lot more motion on-screen.

Yep thats it. There was a deleated scene from the original Gojira which had him eating, during the part where Gojira appears over the hill. He was going to have a bleeding cow hanging from his mouth, but it was cut because it didn't look real.

Post by: TITANOSAUR on Mar 30, 2010, 05:54:12 PM
I always figured Godzilla ate whales and giant squid. hmmm...

I want something like the original 1954 Godzilla Not Gino! I also want the movie to be all in Black and White.

and, why not have Godzilla attack Tokyo, but then start attacking other countrys make Godzilla a more of a world wide threat. it always bothered me why Godzilla would just attack tokyo, I mean, there are other citys. and there are also other power plant.

who here said they shouldn't have the Oxygen Destroyer? I have to say, removing the Oxygen Destroyer is a bad idea. the Oxygen Destroyer was the only thing to effectively kill godzilla. trading the Oxygen Destroyer for some silly missile, rocket, or god forbid. a silver bullet will KILL the films ending. the Oxygen Destroyer is required for this film if it is gonna be a remake of the 1954. I mean, the Oxygen Destroyer is the greatest weapon, much more distructive then the Nuclear Bomb.

this is why Godzilla 98 didn't work so well. they killed Godzilla with 10 Missiles. instead of coaxing him into the water and detonating the Oxygen Destroyer and reducing him into a giant Skeleton in the River or somethin. so yeah the Oxygen Destroyer is the best weapon ever. and has to be in the remake. that is, if they are gonna kill Godzilla in the next film that is?

they should also simply bring back the Original 1954 suit design. only more modernised but keep the bulkyness. I always thought Godzilla's Bulkyness made him look like a giant bear.

Heresy, for what?
85 minutes of camera shaking that in the 70% of the film won't let you understand anything that is happening, really low suspence (it is supposed to be a horror/thriller) and few scares, and a monster that looks like a wingless Bat with a ViperFish head slapped on its neck (basically :P, it isn't that bad). I really preferred the Parasites, they were more sprinted and had a cooler and fresher design, and at least they had some form of charisma. Not counting the fact that almost always you see the monster(s) in the corner, darkened out or completely out of view.
The score ROAR! in the credits is something that defies limits of awesomeness though.
/Rant

It may be that I don't appreciate globally camera filmed movies, but still... :P

The Host on the other hand is really dramatic (with few funny moments), with a way better character development (I almost cried at the end), has a better pacing and the monster here is frightening, particularily when it vomits up the bones of its past victims (really frightening scene). Design is decent, not that original, but acts really good.

No, its not just you. I remember when GFW was in production, they made Godzilla and some of the other monsters more streamlined, one of their plans to make the suits look more realistic.

It wasn't done to "look more realistic", it was done to allow more movement and freedom for the actor in the suit.

Because it wasn't designed to be a suit? However, I agree, CGI re-design has NO excuse.

Gojira will always be my favorite suit--it's just so... Godzilla! But there's no way they'll put that into a new movie. I hope they get the size right though, somewhere inbetween 1998 and the original Godzilla.

One of the early concepts of Godzilla was a squid-like sea creature.

They wanted to do Godzilla in stop-motion, but no-one in Japan at the time really had the skill or know-how to pull it off. So if they had been able to do stop-motion, the squid-like creature would've been a more tenable idea, and he may have ended up looking very, very different.

Or maybe because he's been in nearly 30 movies and was actually very popular in the 60's.
Title: Re: New Godzilla remake?
Post by: OmegaZilla on Apr 03, 2010, 03:02:17 PM
It was popular for 60s' kids, mainly. Most (if all) of the Showa films are aimed to young audience, except maybe for Godzilla Vs. The Smog Monster, which contains some horror elements into it.
And yes, it's still Toho using better merchandise. Most of the Showa have really low budgets and use a lot of  stock footage (namely Godzilla Vs. Gigan and All Monsters Attack), so they aren't big loss if they flop.
Plus the whole Godzilla franchise beginning from the first one is basically a rip-off of said The Beast from 20.000 Fathoms, which IMHO is superior to most films.
Title: Re: New Godzilla remake?
Post by: Airidok on Apr 03, 2010, 03:24:40 PM
In my opinion, "Gojira" was a much better film than "The Beast From 20,000 Fathoms" because it had a bit more depth. That's not to say that "Gojira" doesn't owe almost all it's success in America to Beast, ala "2001" preceding "Star Wars."

However, Emmerich took this a step further in 1998 with his take on Godzilla; which probably would've faired better as a straight up remake of "The Beast From 20,000 Fathoms."

Also, to clarify, I'm talking about the Japanese cut of "Gojira," not the formulaic American release with Perry Mason spliced into it.
Title: Re: New Godzilla remake?
Post by: OmegaZilla on Apr 03, 2010, 03:32:17 PM
People say that the 1998 Godzilla should have been a remake of The Beast simply because it was a monster movie done with American feel. We all know that Occident and Orient have different ways of film-making. The Beast itself shares similarities to the original King Kong or The Lost World (both american) when it comes to the Rhedosaurus/Gorilla/Apatosaurus thrashing the town around.
Plus the original Gojira is similar to The Beast. Both attack a boat, both arrive to a city, etc. We can't dany that in fact Gojira is fairly inspired from The Beast.
Title: Re: New Godzilla remake?
Post by: Airidok on Apr 03, 2010, 03:38:31 PM
Not denying that at all. "Godzilla 1998" however followed the plot from Beast a bit more than anything from "Gojira," mostly in the creature design, but also in plot. Take the scene where Beast is comming ashore and compare it to Godzilla coming ashore in Emmerich's movie, for example.

Godzilla is fairly bigger than Rhedosaurus, has a square shaped head as opposed to the Triangle shaped head of the Rhedosaurus, is bipedal, and shows 3 rows of Dorsal Spines, 2 of which, the external ones, are particularily raised.
Plus if it was an actual The Beast remake people would moan about how it is a ripoff of Godzilla.

Godzilla vs Mothra, Ghidra the Three Headed Monster, and Monster Zero are all respectable entries in the series and were not specifically aimed at kids like the next films were. And those were the ones that started Godzilla's popularity and pop-culture icon status.

I like both films, a lot, but they're both to close to being the same movie to ignore. I could make a long list, but instead I'll just recommend watching all three movies back-to-back and drawing your own conclusions.

My conclusion after watching all three in the same day; it's as if Emmerich said:

"Oh, so like, when you like said 'Godzilla' you like meant the giant lizard-dog-guy who walks on two legs and has radiation breath? Oh well, like I didn't know that so I'll like just make him a little lizard that the french like blow up and make big with a nuke, and everything else can be like that one american movie. It will make my job like a whole lot easier because I won't have to watch like a million Godzilla movies." ;D

Indeed. It's simply the plot and more-so the characters and specific scenes that strike me as carbon copies.

Edit: Also, back to the design, put all three together and Zilla looks more like Beast than Godzilla, especially when on all fours; and size-wise Zilla falls somewhere inbetween the two.

I just realised how awesome Godzilla looks on that picture.
Sometimes it's nice to see some appreciation for such underrated design.  :)

Regarding the initial design for GFW Godzilla I think there was a really cool picture of an actual suit. If only I could find it! It is much better than what we got.
Not digging those drawings. They look too confusionary. But the design is somewhat good. Give it bigger tail and back crests, and there you have something interesting.

And now for something badass...

Too T-Rex for Godzilla, I think. I like the classic design with some changes/updates. I agree; keep the crests big! Arms in those drawings are a bit big as well.

I really want Godzilla to not look so fat, more smoother. His arms should be way longer and a usefull weapon. This way, him fighting monsters would look way better, his movements could be faster and more elegant. I want him see like jump over a entire army and then landing in a crouch like position.

People say that the American Godzilla movie was bad; well, the movies that Toho made in the 70s and 2000s were almost as bad.  The ones from the 80s and 90s were good, as well as a few of the 60s films.  Point being, no one has made a decent Godzilla film since Toho "killed" him in 1995 with Godzilla vs. Destroyer.

I hope Legendary Pictures hires a dramatic director for this reboot instead some hack like Len Wiseman or Louis Letterier, and I hope they maintain Godzilla's character as an unstoppable lumbering monster that obliterates militaries instead of a big iguana that runs from machinegun fire.

Still, i want that Godzilla gets rid of his fatness. I want to see him move, ripping the jaw out of anothers monster with his arms (which the current design can barely even move).
Something like this would be the best redesign, i think:

They'd look wrong? They'd look wrong? The way they look now looks just stupid, Godzilla can move as much as a Lego Figure. And who gives a shit about that "based off of a T-Rex"? We dont have anything realistic to begin with, so we better make it "more" unrealistic, but therefore much more badass. Because for Godzilla movies, there is only ONE thing that matters: The fun factor. Nobody gives a cares about story/characters/whatever when he watches a godzilla movie, just fun.

Okay, if you dislike the original Godzilla design this much; go home. Godzilla is Godzilla is Godzilla. Little arms and big belly are all part of the monster and his look. :-*

Oh, "Son of Godzilla" was my favorite Godzilla movie! When I was 3 1/2 years old.

Of course the design needs to be "completely" redone so the normal sized arms dont look out of place. I like the original Godzilla, but Godzilla needs an update, the old design seems outdated and wouldnt fit into a modern blockbuster movie.

Also, the next movie will be a remake and not a new part of the series, so the design should be different. If it would be another japanese movie, then i would be pissed if they took the original design away. But for a remake, they should remake godzilla.

How us it 'outdated?' If he's rendered in really good CGI, he'd look just fine. I don't think we need another re-design of Godzilla--at least not a major one anyway. People like his design; it's one of the things that makes hime so famous.

Edit: Look at "Star Trek," pretty much the same design, but a little updated, people liked it just fine. Good reboots don't require total redesigns of characters. Imagine if in "Baman Begins" they'd decided that, since it's a reboot, Batman's suit must be totally revamped and look nothing like the ones in the other films, at all!

I dont want a complete re-design. Only something that makes him a bit more smooth and skinner, so he can move way better, which will result in more intense action. The difference would be pretty much like the difference between the "Alien" Alien and the "AVP" Alien.
If they do a remake, they should do a remake. And if Godzilla isnt remade in a remake, then they should get the f**k off and let the japanese do another good godzilla movie with the classic design.

All of the godzilla movies expect for the first one made less scene than Micheal Bay movies. Actually, i think Transformers was actually a really outstanding film, not only in terms of action and special effects, but also in storytelling.
However, The Day the Earth Stood Still was awful. However, when i think of Godzilla, i think of a braindead monster romp, because thats what it is. Only the first movie is serious.

Well, if a serious reboot should be done, which is more a horror film than an action movie, then thats a completely different type of thing. For that, the original design, or the design from "Monster all outa Attack" would be pretty decent. However, but i doubt that anybody would try to make a really serious godzilla film.

No, i mean yes, it is different, but, in the AVP and Alien Design, the main shape was the same, the overall idea and concept was the same. The long head, long tail, spines on the back, all that is still there. The biggest difference is in the way they move. Even if i hate the AVP Design.

Now look at the classic Godzilla and the 98 Godzilla. THATS a change.

The Alien to AVP Design change can be compared with the change from the classic godzilla to the 2000´s Godzilla.

I agree on All Monsters Attack, but not the other two.  SoG and EHotD are okay films for what they are.  They both have decent casts (at least, if you're familiar with Toho actors...a lot of them appeared in Kurosawa films as well), colorful locales, and great music by Masaru Sato.  More than that though, they have character, which is something that G98 lacked.

Yep, the Twin Robots were part of the stupidiness of the movie. And the devastator balls. And the mum which gets "high". All that sucked pretty hard, and the second half of Transformers 2 is boring as hell, even if the first half is pretty awesome. But that doesnt make it a brainless movie. It still has a pretty nice story, which is actually pretty hard to understand, if you want to get everything. However, i have to agree that the Story in TF 2 is pretty badly telled and not worth the time to study the movie so you get every "silly" move of the main characters. I also dont like TF2 so much, but i think it is still a decent movie which some really special things which make the movie really entertaining, even if only for the first half. I usually stop watching TF2 after the Fallen lands on Earth.

Im not blind, i see everything that is bad with TF2, but i see also the good side of TF2, which you and most others dont.

However, Transformers 1 is a masterpiece of action cinema, not only in special effects and action, but also in story(telling) and even the characters arent bad, and with characters, i mean the transformers, they are the main characters. And Sam was actually also a good character in Transformers 1. Its not flawless, but its still a masterpiece.

Most of you dont like the Transformers movies because you like to go with the crowd and dont give the movies a chance. To like Transformers (1), you cant just leave your brain at home, you need to pay attention and not just focus on the action and then go out of the cinema and say "that movie had no story and made no sense" because you didnt payed enough attention to get the story.
Thats like watching "The Dark Knight" and miss one hour of the movie because you went out of the cinema, then come back and watch the rest of the movie and say "that made absolutely no sense".

People say that the American Godzilla movie was bad; well, the movies that Toho made in the 70s and 2000s were almost as bad.
Son of Godzilla, Godzilla vs. Ebirah, Horror of the Deep and Godzilla: All Monsters Attack are much, much, much worse than anything the '98 remake was capable of :P

Don't forget Revenge Of Godzilla!

Here's an idea for a movie. Maybe Godzilla isn't the focus. The given would be that he's indestructible, here to stay, and already devastated whatever city he's in. The story would focus on the humans who aren't fighting him, but can't really get out of the city, so they make the most of it and take advantage of the opportunities landed them.

I just got finished watching Godzilla the Series-Monster Wars Trilogy, and I have to say, I loved it. I was a little confused not seeing prior episodes, but came to understand it. It took the cool design from the 1998 movie and gave it the awesome powers of the Japanese Godzilla. The episodes reminded me of a compilation of the three most recent Godzilla films (Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla, Godzilla Tokyo SOS, and Godzilla Final Wars).

How can people like anything related to the 1998 GINO? Besides, it's a totally different monster now anyway. Zilla. Toho pwned it by making it a separate monster, I'm so happy that it's canon also.

I like Godzilla 1998, GINO, Zilla, etc. because it introduced me to the real Godzilla. Check out the animated series, it is the American Godzilla, but it behaves and has the powers of the real one. It's actually really cool.

IMO, Godzilla can be broken down like this:

GODZILLA
-Japanese
a. Showa Series
b. Heisi Series
c. Millennium Series
-American
a. Godzilla 1998
   • Godzilla the Series
b. American Godzilla Reboot

Yup, I completely agree with that. Although I'm not sure if the Reboot would really be connected with the 1998 film and the series.

I don't think Toho will be resurrecting Godzilla any time soon, but if they do, I want them to pick up where the Heisei series left off, with Godzilla being reborn.  I didn't like the Millennium films at all, they were disjointed and boring.  Out of six movies we got two new monsters (Orga and Megaguirus); everything else, including the battle scenes, was recycled from the Showa films.

Godzilla Final Wars really wasn't that bad. It had a lot of monsters, cool fight scenes (monsters and people), a story good enough to rival those of Showa films (:P), and a lot of Showa styled campiness (like the volleyball scene). I thought it was an all aroud, really fun, dumb movie.

Thing is, Showa was somewhat justifiable, and some scenes weren't meant to come out like they did (like the Beach Volley Match between Godzilla and Ebirah). Godzilla Final Wars is meant to have awful effects even if it can do 1000x better.

G2000 would probably be my favorite of the six, as it introduced a new monster and Katagiri was hilarious.  A lot of fans love GMK, but I think it's very dull, and its plot is a rehash of Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Monster, only with Godzilla and Ghidorah in opposite roles.

Yeah, G2000 was really cool. Orga is an interesting villain and Godzilla's design is one (if not the) of the best japanese designs out there.

The interesting thing about GMK is that 1. It was more fantasy biased, 2. Godzilla is evil once again and 3. his design is very well done

Yeah Godzilla looked good in GMK but I still think the 1989/1991 suit is the most badass design of them all.  Overall I thought the Millennium suits looked very stiff and plasticy (not just Godzilla, but all of the monsters), partially because Toho didn't make an animatronic head for close-up shots of Godzilla like they did during the Heisei era...the one exception was GMK. 

To me, that's why none of the Millennium films won awards for their effects.  Teruyoshi Nakano won a Japanese Award of the Academy in 1985 for his effects in The Return of Godzilla.  The model Tokyo at the end of that film is just incredible.  Koichi Kawakita won the same award in 1992 for his work on Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah, which again had some incredible miniatures and suitmation effects. 

Then there's Godzilla vs. Biollante, which to me has the best effects in any Godzilla film.  Kawakita didn't win an award for that one, but the effects were good enough to be praised by Douglas Trumbull, 3-time Oscar nominee for the effects in Blade Runner, Stat Trek, and Close Encounters.

The 1989-91 design as a whole has the one of the best roar. (I guess that's part of the design?) But, '93 and on, they made certain parts of him too big. Especially his legs. In G vs. SpaceG, it's extremely noticeable.

About the Godzilla Power Hour, I'm assuming that comment was sarcastic :P
I dunno, those both are the top-of-cheesy type of shows.
Godzilla Final Wars really wasn't that bad. It had a lot of monsters, cool fight scenes (monsters and people), a story good enough to rival those of Showa films (:P), and a lot of Showa styled campiness (like the volleyball scene). I thought it was an all aroud, really fun, dumb movie.

When its viewed as camp fun its not bad at all. But we were promised one of the greatest Godzilla films ever made and this wasn't it. Image being told you're gonna get the next great Alien movie, but getting AVP:R instead. And also G2000 is one of my favorite Godzilla films of all time. It think its very well done. The same goes for GMK.

G2K was alright in my book, but only just so-- I had really been hoping for something more special.  It would have been more enjoyable if they had included more elements from the manga version.

Yep. Toho was taking a break from Godzilla (like they're doing now) but then they wanted to "fix" G1998

A Fix? Too ingenuous and "positive" explanation for me. Do you really think that TOHO cares that much for fans?  :P Answer is simple: No. What they care for, as every other film Studios (like Fox, Universal, LucasFilm etc.) do, is money. Godzilla 2000 was nothing more than an exploitation production done to cash upon the growing success that the Godzilla character was gaining thanks to the 1998 film. Like it or not, Godzilla got a titanic amount of people into the franchise. TOHO, knowing that, simply made another film, knowing it would be a success. They were half-right since the film grossed something like 15 million dollars and was the highest Japanese success of the time. It's also not a case if they redesigned Godzilla in this film - making him more reptilian. A breath of fresh air yes, but it was done to resemble the American Design, which was globally more known at the time.
It's still a cool film though. ;)

Then there's Godzilla vs. Biollante, which to me has the best effects in any Godzilla film.  Kawakita didn't win an award for that one, but the effects were good enough to be praised by Douglas Trumbull, 3-time Oscar nominee for the effects in Blade Runner, Stat Trek, and Close Encounters.
Globally agree. Biollante's charge is epic! 8)

G2K came out 2 years after GINO 1998. And considering Toho knew comparisons to American would be inevitable, it's hard to believe they didn't make G2K to get people to forget about the first film.

G2K is from 1999.
Consider that the hype for G98 was still enormous, even in Japan. Although it's surprising to say, not all the Japanese are Godzilla fans.
G98, despite the backlash from critics, who cared only for the phisics not applied in the film, and the backlash from the fanboys who can't just accept changes in a reconception, was a great financial success worldwide. It would have been stupid for TOHO not to try to release a new film of theirs.

AvP was also a great financial success. It's the highest grossing film out of either the Alien or Predator series. Are you going to tell me it was still a cool film and deserved to make as much as it did?

The point is that while GINO was successful financially, it was still a bad movie. Just about everything about it was bad. G2K was made to erase it from people's memory.

To set the record straight, Godzilla 1998 only ever made it off the ground because the guys at Toho approved of it.  When shown the new design and concept, even Patrick Tatopoulos said that he thought they were going to reject it, but after a private conference, the Toho Executives approved anyway.

That's because Toho was operating a Coke Scheme.   Let someone bring out a new version, count on fans hating it, and then re-introducing their classic interpretation to rake in the dough.

On the subject of Toho, does anyone like their non-Godzilla films?  Many of the company's best entries from the 50s and 60s had nothing to do with Godzilla; I'm talking about films like The Mysterians, Rodan, Mothra, Matango, and War of the Gargantuas.  Atragon and Frankenstein Conquers the World were also watchable, but very weird.

You call yourself a Godzilla fan? Dude, the original films were keeping in line with what Godzilla became, an anti-hero which f-ed shit up when fighting big honking monsters. The films were obviously low budget, but they were never pretending to be something they weren't. They quick, simple, and effective in their execution and fun to watch.

Then along comes GINO and we get a creature that a) doesn't carry the same anti-WMD message of the original film, b) doesn't even look remotely similar to the original creature, and c) pretty much makes a mockery out of everything that made the original creature awesome in the first place.

Godzilla vs. Biollante  & Godzilla 1998 are my favourite and got me hooked for a while. I even watched the cartoon series of the son of Zilla :D. Unfortunately with time I realised how poor most of the movies were and I stopped following the franchise.

I always liked Space Godzilla, had something to it. Also the fight with destroya wasn't bad. I think the Gojira Franchise should have finished with Gojira's death against Destroya.

Maybe remotely was a stretch, but the new one looks more reptilian-like. As for the similarities you pointed out, things like thick skin and four-fingered hands are moot. They don't make a difference. And last I checked, all bipedal creatures have shoulders so that's also moot.

It was scared, as any animal would, for the safety of its babies. It was carrying eggs, it hightailed it out of there because it was pregnant. That's what animals do. And the American remake went out of its way to present Zilla as an animal.

And it had reason to be scared, the military could kill its ass as long as he stood still.

Okey, imagine that Tatopoulos designed Godzilla after a few drinks and gave his design flamethrowers in the place of hands. Mine was a randome example, but BTW, that would have been a true difference. Those hands, the actual ones, are not difference. They are a tweak of the original trait and are loyal to it.

I don't know what film you were watching, but GINO didn't swerve, dodge, and scream frustratingly for the hell of it.  By the way, anything that large will crush something smaller than it by accident, but not once did he go out of his way to deliberately stomp something out of malice.  GINO missed the freaking cameraman and there isn't a single toppled building to his name.

And I quote,
QuoteJust because something crawls out of a crater and it is radioactive does not make it a nuclear allegory.
.  What made the original Godzilla stand out as a an allegorical piece was the sheer amountintentional carnage the monster caused and the feeling of utter helplessness of humanity experienced against such a being.  Godzilla 1998 was nothing more than an average (albeit fun) monster-on-the-loose flick.  The military were little more than exterminators and the monster itself just wanted to be left alone.

Imagine if they made a James Bond film where he's an American Navy SEAL who drinks Coors and drives a Mustang Fastback.  Well he's not exactly James Bond anymore, is he?  The character names may be the same and the films belong to the same genre, but the character is completely different. 

That's basically what Emmerich and Devlin did to Godzilla; they took the name and used it capitalize on a completely different monster.  GINO is practically a remake of The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms; a giant lizard is awoken by a nuclear test, travels under the sea to New York, gets trapped, and is dispatched by the military.  All Devlin and Emmerich added was the stupid subplot involving the baby Godzillas to try and rip off Jurassic Park.

That's basically what Emmerich and Devlin did to Godzilla; they took the name and used it capitalize on a completely different monster.  GINO is practically a remake of The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms; a giant lizard is awoken by a nuclear test, travels under the sea to New York, gets trapped, and is dispatched by the military.  All Devlin and Emmerich added was the stupid subplot involving the baby Godzillas to try and rip off Jurassic Park.

I will, however, fully admit that GINO is better than some of the Toho films, namely the late 60s/early 70s ones like Godzilla vs. Megalon, Godzilla vs. Gigan, and Godzilla's Revenge.

Not to mention, TBf 20 000 Fathoms was way better.

And may I add: Have they got children? Check.

About the film being more similar to The Beast from 20.000 Fathoms the only similarities between these two films is the very very very fundamental plot, which is also the original Godzilla's, alas, Big atomic Monster on Rampage. The 1998 Godzilla also referenced The Beast (along with a ton other films, like Alligator or Alien) here 'n there. But the similarities end here.

Every monster in GFW deserved a better role.  Godzilla has 12 minutes of screen time in his own 50th anniversary movie.  12 minutes...out of around 125.  That's really lame.

And why on Earth did they bring back Kumonga and Kamacuras, two of the most useless monsters in the franchise?  Why not Gorosaurus, Battra, or Spacegodzilla?  Heck even Megalon would have been better; the movie he starred in may have been rubbish but he was a pretty cool monster overall.

Gustave did something that shows intelligence of that sort. Hunters baited a trap-door cage with a goat, as soon as the goat was killed, the door was supposed to shut. Gustave simply waltzed in, took the goat, destroyed the trap, and then left.

Gustave is a poor example, given the amount of myth surrounding him.

Man is the foremost example, since technically, humans are considered animals, but our closest genetic relative the chimpanzee has also been known to use deception to set up ambushes for individuals of rival clans.  There are also several instances of tigers and leopards getting the jump on the very hunters who were lying in wait for them, although it is unclear whether these examples can be attributed to cleverness.

GINO and the original just don't look similar. They have shared characteristics, but their realisation paints them both very differently. Stand him upright as-is and he still doesn't look like Godzilla.

Gustave was named by Patrice Faye, a French resident of Burundi and self-taught naturalist who has been pursuing the crocodile since 1998. Faye and a documentary team attempted to capture Gustave in 2002 using an enormous trap, but the crocodile not only avoided it, but seemed to taunt the team as well.[2] The ill-fated attempt was detailed in a documentary titled Capturing the Killer Croc, which aired on PBS in May 2004.[3]

From Wikipedia, as well as discussed on numerous other sites. Oh, and the Documentary. I suppose that works, no?

Unfortunately, no.  While it is evident that the ridiculously huge trap failed, it can only be speculated what Gustave was actually thinking and trying to do.  His actual 'intentions' cannot be confirmed (the same can be said for the Tsavo lions). 

Don't get me wrong, these legendary killers are awesome, but the very same things that make them legendary also hurts their credibility.  Plus, we already have some more reliable examples of smart, trap-screwing animals.

I really need to see Advent of Legion.  You are right though, Revenge of Iris was epic.  I think what made Heisei Gamera even more outstanding was comparing him to his Showa era self.  Godzilla's also had his share of epic and craptacular films, but if Gamera of all kaiju could make such a turnaround, I can't wait to see what Godzilla could do with some good re-imagining.

EDIT: I'm fully aware that Kaneko, whom helmed Gamera's kickass trilogy, also made GMK, but that film still didn't make the cut for me, so clearly the director isn't the only necessary component.

I tried rewatching Legion a few months back, I had only seen it once before. I couldn't finish it, it was boring to me, in a way it reminded me of Godzilla vs. Destroyah. I love the monsters and the idea, but the movie itself to me was boring.

Then Iris came, and blew away all the other films. It was a huge turnaround from what everyone was used to. In my opinion, all kaiju films should be made the way Iris was. I did like the attempt that Kaneko made for GMK, but I am on the same boat, it didn't cut it for me... But I think it was a step in the right direction.

Test-screenings are done before a premiere. But now I think about it, it may not have been a test screening, just perceived fan reaction (I've also gotta listen to the commentary again, it's really informative).

They said that people were unhappy there was no breath weapon (So obviously at some point between the concept art and production they ditched it), so they had the exploding car catching Godzilla's breath on fire as a compromise.  And they do say it's the car catching the breath on fire, not a genuine fire breath.

I know this isn't about Godzilla, but I really want to see the Heisei Gamera trilogy. I've only seen two of the Showa films, and the Heisei ones look great. I should try to find them cheep somewhere.

This is the one that I have, I didn't realize it is so expensive, probably because it's not produced anymore.

Which ones?

Quote from: Noir-Gojira on Jun 12, 2010, 06:59:24 AM
Man is the foremost example, since technically, humans are considered animals, but our closest genetic relative the chimpanzee has also been known to use deception to set up ambushes for individuals of rival clans.  There are also several instances of tigers and leopards getting the jump on the very hunters who were lying in wait for them, although it is unclear whether these examples can be attributed to cleverness.
I probably should have thrown dolphins and their gang war tactics in there for good measure.  Oh well.

Regarding Chimpazees it's not surprising since they have a very developed brain, as other Primates do. But the great rest of Animalia? Never seen, for example, a whale that brings back to a boat the harpoon that was supposed to hit it.

I did like the attempt that Kaneko made for GMK, but I am on the same boat, it didn't cut it for me... But I think it was a step in the right direction.

Yeah, GMK is flawed.  The first half hour is very boring and the some of the acting by the extras is comically horrible.  Certain aspects of the plot are never addressed, like the importance of the stone, who the old guy was, why the military covered up Godzilla's death, and so on.  I also found the monster suits to be too foamy-looking, especially Ghidorah and Baragon.  Compare GMK Ghidorah to Heisei Ghidorah, and GMK Ghidorah looks like crap.  The wings are disproportionately small and the heads are too short.  Oh yes, and the CGI was all terrible.

On the other hand, parts of GMK are downright spectacular.  The scene where Godzilla makes his way through the coastal city is awesome, especially with those pedestrian-level camera angles that really give the creature some scale that hadn't been seen since the Heisei era.  The scene where Godzilla vaporized the crowd of people was badass.  The air force's battle with Godzilla in the valley was brief but cool.  The final Yokohama battle is pretty amazing, especially the part when the military fires the D-3 missiles and Godzilla retaliates by blowing the shit of everyone.

GMK easily has the best special effects in the Millennium era.  Compare the models and pyrotechnics of GMK to say, Final Wars or Megaguirus, and those films look amateurish at best.  GMK isn't in my top 5 like many other fans', but it's still a solid film, imo.

If the majority of animals were that coordinated then you wouldn't have asked for examples in the first place :P

Actually, I've also forgotten to add elephants to that list as well, since there have been recorded cases of rogue males sensing hunters lying in wait, and then in turn ambushing them.

You didn't grow up appreciating the original for what it was, because 98 came into your life at such a young age. It made you assume that it's the way Godzilla should be.

Which is the reason you like the originals or am I wrong? :P It's always about the age - I could be 40 and I'd still enjoy the film, as there are 40s that still anjoy old Showa films like Invasion of the Astro-Monsters and still call them masterpieces. Why? Because they have seen them when they were 3. Or 4. Or 5. Or even 10. It doesn't matter that much, because that is the age that molds your passions. It is a totally casual event, because there's not always the possibility of it. But still.
And there is no way - literally - no way to enjoy or be entertained by the olda (or newa :P) Godzilla Films if you didn't get hooked at young age. You may ask friends or someone you know that didn't get it - the answer will be always along the lines of laughable guy in a suit destroying cardboard buildings.

Thing is - most of the movies don't help, at all. After the first (which is the only one which could be appreciated even by "out-siders"), the only true Japanese Godzilla, it just went downhill. Look at what Godzilla Final Wars is for example - a voluntarily cheesy made film. Does that bring the real message Godzilla was supposed to bring? Hell, no. What it does lay instead? That those are only comical, and not serious, as opposed to what it was originally. The Anti-Nuclear message with time has become only a side characteristic of those movies, and sometimes it's only, literally, a mere excuse to unleash something or someone (see Godzilla Vs. Megalon) just for the sake of it, without a real reflection behind it. And since the original 1954 Godzilla is practically a half-unknown film, unfortunately, you can do the maths on how many possibilities one can get to know the character through the first film and thus know what the character was supposed to represent in first place, instead of what it got to represent now. The few attempts to get back, see GMK, or Vs. Biollante, were good but aren't the most well known ones, unfortunately. :-\ Biollante was even kind of unsuccessful at first.

I'm not a fanboy, a purist and all these things. No, scratch that. I am a fan of Cinematography. There, I said it. If I know that a film is a remake, and I know what remakes are, I have no problem with it. If it was a sequel, then, there would be serious (and basically true) problems and I'd admit it. But since it is a remake, something that is supposed to be different, I am hella fine with it. Is John Carpenter's Thing the same as the 1951 original? No. Are the Tripods from the 2005 War of the Worlds the same as the 1953 originals? No. Is Brundlefly from The 1986 Fly remake the same as the 1958 original?  No. Do all of those films still have infused the basic concept and are all of them still enjoyable? Yes. And I primarily enjoy the very and simple fact that they are different, an alternate vision if we want, of the originals. Every time I hear of a remake, I'm like Let's see how they take it! And I do not wait for something equal to the original, because not only it's literally impossible to do so, but also because it's futile. If I'm going to do something equal to the original, why make this in first place? I'd go watch the original instead. That's why I consider films like Quarantine an insult to Cinematography Art. They're useless, they can't, in any possible way, add anything to the existing Mythos of Cinematography.

By the Way,  I like the 1998 Godzilla simply because it is what it is: a classic Giant Monster Story, modernized, modified and set nowadays. Like it or not, Godzilla found the bases for the modern (Giant or not) Monster Movies: Look at Dragon Wars, Cloverfield, The Host and Outlander.... where'd they take inspiration from? As Godzilla took inspiration from older Monster Movies and repeatedly referenced them (also a thing I like. I love films that reference the classics of the respective genres), New and Modern Monster Movies reference and take inspiration from Godzilla. Tatopoulos' take on Godzilla is a fantastic design. Because it combines the best traits from all kinds of Reptiles, it is big, it is mutated, it is sort of a paradox, since it is enormous but so graceful to see at the same time. It's a majestic monster. And since we do not know for sure what it is, it could be everything, not necessarily an Iguana.
Soooo... that's it lol. :D Waiting for a good discussion to come from here. ;)

Could not have picked worse examples. :P They both have source texts, and the 'newer' (1982...) movies are just more faithful adaptations of them (Or ... attempts, in WotW's case). John Carpenter was adamant his movie was no remake. WotW keeps the American setting of the movie, nothing more.

You may ask friends or someone you know that didn't get it - the answer will be always along the lines of laughable guy in a suit destroying cardboard buildings.

I was a Godzilla fan from about 4 years old until I was 14 or so.  Then for the next 9 years, throughout high school and college and whatnot, I became disinterested in them, and I didn't watch any of the films apart from the new Millennium installments that were getting released, which I hated (aside from GMK and parts of G2K). 

Then, just last October when I was 23 going on 24, I suddenly started watching my old VHS's again, and I found them incredibly fun.  In fact I even started updating my old dubbed VHS's to DVDs with English subtitles.  Now I'm a huge fan of the series once again, and I think I like them more than ever.

Why?  Roger Ebert summed it up nicely in his review for Gamera, Guardian of the Universe (I'm not really a Gamera fan, but I think his review applies to all Japanese monster movies):


QuoteThere's a learning process that moviegoers go through. They begin in childhood without sophistication or much taste, and for example, like ``Gamera'' more than ``Air Force One'' because flying turtles are obviously more entertaining than United States presidents. Then they grow older and develop ``taste,'' and prefer ``Air Force One,'' which is better made and has big stars and a more plausible plot. (Isn't it more believable, after all, that a president could single-handedly wipe out a planeload of terrorists than that a giant turtle could spit gobs of flame?) Then, if they continue to grow older and wiser, they complete the circle and return to ``Gamera'' again, realizing that while both movies are preposterous, the turtle movie has the charm of utter goofiness--and, in an age of flawless special effects, it is somehow more fun to watch flawed ones.

I am not one for long posts... But here I go.

QuoteWhich is the reason you like the originals or am I wrong?

No, it's not why I prefer the originals. I will admit, when I first saw 98 when I was 9 or 10, opening night. I enjoyed the movie. I still never saw Godzilla in the movie though, and I distinctly remember that, as a 9/10 year old. Then when the movie came out on VHS, I remember watching it, and not even finishing it, because I realized it wasn't Godzilla at all. It was boring to me, and I was still at the same age. Normally a giant monster movie for a kid like me would be the best thing since sliced bread! I had seen every Godzilla movie to date at that point, and this film didn't even make it close to them. That isn't nostalgia. It didn't have the same feeling as a Godzilla movie should have.

QuoteAnd there is no way - literally - no way to enjoy or be entertained by the olda (or newa ) Godzilla Films if you didn't get hooked at young age. You may ask friends or someone you know that didn't get it - the answer will be always along the lines of laughable guy in a suit destroying cardboard buildings.

Again, no, the only reason you think that is because of the technology today. You assume that the mass public would just pass on these movies because of their special effects. Which may be true to an extent, but if I sat someone down, who had never seen a Godzilla movie now and showed them one, made them sit through the whole thing... I am sure they would comment on the dated effects, but I can guarantee I can find a few people who would say they are enjoyable films.

This reminds me of the members on this board, a large majority of them are younger, they think that the AvP movies are better than the original films, because they saw them first. I know people that saw AvP before the originals, and say the originals suck. Because they saw the current ones first. Can I get an explanation out of them? "Because they are boring, and have no action." That has got to be the lamest excuse out there in my opinion. That is like saying the new King Kong is better than the original 33 version. Because it's new.

RumorControl brought it up before, but I see it's been deleted, but the amount of time and dedication that were put into the original Godzilla films was astounding. He mentioned that when Rodan flew overhead, the shingles on the roofs would individually fly off. Which leads into this:

QuoteNo, scratch that. I am a fan of Cinematography. There, I said it.

cin·e·ma·tog·ra·phy: –noun
the art or technique of motion-picture photography.

The way you say this, to me, means that you don't like the way the originals looked. Just because they don't have stunning shots, or crazy camera work doesn't mean the films don't have cinematography. There are incredible shots in many of the original films, that as a photographer, which I am paid to do, appreciate greatly.

98 is what it is, a giant monster movie. Modernized and such, like you said. But it isn't a Godzilla movie. They took the heart and soul out of what was Godzilla, and just threw in a giant lizard running around scared in New York city. Which has been done countless times, even if it wasn't a lizard. Godzilla has been modernized, in his own films, every time a new one comes out, it is set nowadays.

I don't know if I have any more to say, I probably do, but I feel like I will just start repeating myself. Half of what you said didn't make any sense to me, it just didn't have much worth arguing that hasn't been brought up before.

Again, no, the only reason you think that is because of the technology today. You assume that the mass public would just pass on these movies because of their special effects.
No shit, it is what happens. But not only the special effects -  the quality overall of a lot of films is flawed more or less. Some films even are Stock-Footage puzzles and lack a lot of continuity. A few selected films are infused with a great quality (case in question - most of the Heisei), but the others?

Quote from: Mikey on Jun 16, 2010, 06:43:59 AM
This reminds me of the members on this board, a large majority of them are younger, they think that the AvP movies are better than the original films, because they saw them first. I know people that saw AvP before the originals, and say the originals suck. Because they saw the current ones first. Can I get an explanation out of them? "Because they are boring, and have no action." That has got to be the lamest excuse out there in my opinion. That is like saying the new King Kong is better than the original 33 version. Because it's new.
I have seen a lot of the originals. And guess what, Godzilla Vs. Biollante and Destroy All Monsters entered in my all-time favourites. The first, because it's superlative; the second, because it's cheese. But good cheese.
You may see that I really don't have an opinion like that - because I am coherent. I've seen AvP before Predator and AvPR before Predator II but I still consider the latters better, because I can say the flaws AvP (and mainly AvPR! :D) has.
I don't prefer one of the Kongs over the other - and actually, I like 33s, 76s and 05s equally. They are 3 different versions of the same, lovely story.

Quote from: Mikey on Jun 16, 2010, 06:43:59 AM
The way you say this, to me, means that you don't like the way the originals looked. Just because they don't have stunning shots, or crazy camera work doesn't mean the films don't have cinematography. There are incredible shots in many of the original films, that as a photographer, which I am paid to do, appreciate greatly.
With "Fan of Cinematography" I am introducing the "Remakes" speech that comes right after, and has nothing to do with my preferences. In no freakin' way - I don't like the originals because of how they look. Some of the Showa are truely entertaining and good old piece of what were the 60s and 70s, namely Destroy All Monsters, or Terror of MechaGodzilla (which is the first Japanese film I have ever seen). When I begin to not like that is from the newer films. Case in question - yes, yet another time, Godzilla Final Wars. For the love of... me :P, how in the whole world do the Puppets look worse than the others did before? Hell, look at Anguirus. In Destroy all Monsters the detail put into that suit was top-notch. And now return to what it has become in 2004. Bleh. Or Godzilla. In G2K, or in freakin GMK, he looked way, way better than he does in GFW
I'm not saying that they should do what or what, just improve a bit wouldn't hurt. Godzilla Vs. Biollante alone had better effects than all the Millennium series put together.

Quote from: Mikey on Jun 16, 2010, 06:43:59 AM
But it isn't a Godzilla movie.
It isn't a Japanese Original Godzilla movie. It's the new, reconcepted Godzilla. That's what it is.

The Remake part?
Quote from: OmegaZilla on Jun 15, 2010, 10:29:10 AM
I'm not a fanboy, a purist and all these things. No, scratch that. I am a fan of Cinematography. There, I said it. If I know that a film is a remake, and I know what remakes are, I have no problem with it. If it was a sequel, then, there would be serious (and basically true) problems and I'd admit it. But since it is a remake, something that is supposed to be different, I am hella fine with it. Is Brundlefly from The 1986 Fly remake the same as the 1958 original?  No. Does that film still have infused the basic concept and is it still enjoyable? Yes. And I primarily enjoy the very and simple fact that they are different, an alternate vision if we want, of the originals. Every time I hear of a remake, I'm like Let's see how they take it! And I do not wait for something equal to the original, because not only it's literally impossible to do so, but also because it's futile. If I'm going to do something equal to the original, why make this in first place? I'd go watch the original instead. That's why I consider films like Quarantine an insult to Cinematography Art. They're useless, they can't, in any possible way, add anything to the existing Mythos of Cinematography.
This is the Stud of my point.
I've corrected some parts on SiL's reference. :D

I feel the same way about Final Wars as the Angry Video Game Nerd does.

"Usually in a Godzilla movie, you get scenes where monsters are fighting and people are talking. Instead, you get scenes of monsters fighting and people fighting. So it's all fighting, you can't go wrong."

Post by: RumorControl on Jun 16, 2010, 07:36:19 PM
I hated Final Wars.  90% of the movie just rips off Hollywood action films (like all of Ryuhei Kitamura's films) and the remaining 10% is badly-staged monster fights. 

Final Wars had the biggest budget of any Godzilla movie, but the monsters all looked like shit, especially Ghidorah and Kamacuras.  The miniature work was also the worst seen since the 70s.    The whole movie was just amateurish.

Then again, I never took to the Millennium series as a whole.  Most of my favorite films are Heisei films, with one or two early Showa movies thrown in for balance.

Depends on the version.

If it's still for sale I'd recommend the BFI's release -- has a commentary by three guys and documentaries on the production, including the evolution of Godzilla's design during pre-production, and comes with a booklet full of cast and crew info. It only has the original edit, though.

*prepares his best Sir David Attenborough impression*

Coming ashore, the males proceed to stake out and claim the most ideal nesting sites.  The leveling of all vegetation and obstructions in the surrounding area is both a safeguard against egg thieves and a show of fitness to the opposite sex.  During the breeding season, males are exceptionally aggressive, regarding all organisms as intruders.  As the female investigates the male's territory, the dorsal spines on their backs-- normally used as a warning display against threats, begin to flush with blood, tainting them a crimson hue.  If she is receptive, both animals will take turns flashing their spines to one another in an elaborate courtship ritual, culminating in sex.  Following intercourse, the female shall lay the eggs as the male swims off to hunt.  The parents shall take turns caring for the nest and finding food until sometime after the eggs hatch.

Cloverfield and Zilla though are interesting. They are borderline I think Clover and I'd be interested to see him against Zilla just to make the japanese cringe. I really hate Zilla as a GODZILLA but I enjoy him as a Kaiju. I'm happy Zilla had a cameo in Final Wars and the true Godzilla vaporized him. Clover is just a strange being...

Quick question? Do you guys consider the American King Kong movies to be Kaiju films? I see them as more of an adventure movie. When I think of American Kaiju, Clover and Zilla pop into mind. The Japanese Kong, though, he's a Kaiju.

I don't use the term kaiju to begin with.  I just say monster.

I never use Kaiju when talking in person. I just say monster. But I would put the American King Kong movies in a completely different category than Godzilla/Cloverfield/Gamera/Ultraman/Japanese King Kong/etc...

Kaiju is a term used strictly to point Creatures of variable size present in Tokusatsu Films.
Tokusatsu is the Japanese Science-Fiction.
So no, King Kong, American Godzilla, The ZOMGBATVIPERFISHTHING and others like Gwoemul, Imoogi etc. aren't kaiju.

Well, Clover and Zilla could be considered American Kaiju. Clover was inspired by Godzilla, and Zilla is a remake of Godzilla, so both had their roots in Japan. They are just Americanized Kaiju, so their powers/abilities are toned down too add a little more "realism". This explains King kong's superpowers in KKvG, when he gets struck by lightning.

I kinda do. I see where you are coming from, but I tend to consider Kong as a Kaiju both because he help creae the concept, and he has character like Godzilla.

Dear God, I always hated that.  Making Kong grow stonger by electricity is retarded enough, but actually making Godzilla vulnerable to electricity is even worse, especially after they made a hug deal about him crashing through those wires in the 1954 film (and then again in the very next film, MvsG).  Yeah that's another reason why I liked the Heisei series better, they kept things consistent.

But are made in America. Kaiju = Made in Japan.

From Wikipedia:
"Kaiju (怪獣, kaijū?) is a Japanese word that means "strange beast," but often translated in English as "monster." Specifically, it is used to refer to a genre of tokusatsu entertainment."

It means monster yes, but it is used only in Tokusatsu, the Japanese Science-Fiction.

There's a lot of incorrect information on Wikipedia, but that quote speaks the truth. The word Kaiju is limited to Japanaese Flicks. Some Kaiju fans extend this to all of the other monsters, but it's not really correct.

It speaks the truth that you find convenient, but you're hardly qualified to deem what is correct.  Like it or not, your precious GINO is also a kaiju.
Title: Re: Toho's Godzilla (Gojira) and other Movie Monsters General Discussion Thread
Post by: OmegaZilla on Jun 22, 2010, 08:54:51 AM
The American Godzilla can't be qualified as a Kaiju, because it's not Japanese.
This may be correct for the spoof that was done over it - Zilla. But the Monster featured in the 1998 film is not a Kaiju.
It's not me.
Is "Kaiju" ever used in a context of American Monster Movies? No.
Do Americans/Koreans/Non-Japanese use the word "Kaiju" when referring to Monsters? No.
Did JJ Abrams say "We need a true American Kaiju" when talking about Cloverfield? No.
Do the Japanese use the word instead? Yes.

Plus, Japanese films adopt different ways of thinking while "dealing" with Monsters.

As Wikipedia says, kaiju means "strange beast". Regardless of popular usage, things like King Kong, GINO, and Cloverfield count. Hell, the Salaryman in Tetsuo: The Iron Man counts -- The movie even uses the word 'kaiju' in the opening titles.
Title: Re: Toho's Godzilla (Gojira) and other Movie Monsters General Discussion Thread
Post by: OmegaZilla on Jun 22, 2010, 09:20:16 AM
Wikipedia also says
"Specifically, it is used to refer to a genre of tokusatsu entertainment."

And Tokusatsu, always referring to it, is
"one of the most popular forms of Japanese entertainment"

But as I said, there are two ways of seein' it:

-Kaiju= Japanese Monster, because it's a term used in Japanese fiction
-Kaiju= Global Monster, because it means "Strange Beast"

I just don't use this word at all while discussing about these arguments. It's so futile. "Monster", "Creature", "Abomination" etc. work so much better and don't sound fan-ish at all.

Duh, maybe because the word itself is Japanese.  So I guess this means that Godzilla isn't a monster since he's only called a kaiju in Japan.

There was a documentary about Godzilla, in which they said that Japanese Films see the Monsters more like something to live together with. In American Films this characteristic is either absent, or very rare.
That's what I meant.

If you're talking about the whole, "force of nature" outlook, that's only because they've already tried everything else.  Usually the western monsters go down and stay down.  Godzilla?  Not so much.  And even then, Japan'll bust out the tanks and jets anyway.

That's what I think.
You know, in some films there's always the "leave it alone", or "Live and Leave Living" (there was specifically a proverb about this although I don't remember) argument - this is more relevant in Japanese films. In Japan, Monsters are seen as Tragic Beings. In America, and generally in other countries, they're seen as enemies to take down and almost-nothing else.

All right, I guess after a long arquement that I created (sorry :P) I could consider the American King Kong movies to be Monster/Kaiju films. And I understand the difference between Japanese Kaiju and American Monster. Now...How about the original Mighty Joe Young? Because that was in my 3 pack (King Kong 1933, Son of Kong, and Mighty Joe Young). I don't think MJY is really a monster movie like Godzilla/King Kong/Cloverfield.


And Just a side thought, how cool would this movie be:
America vs Japan: Giant Monster Battle
King Kong and Clover vs Godzilla and Gamera

And if things get a little intense, we can also give Zilla to America, and Ultraman to Japan.

King Kong was the tragic beauty and the beast story, so you'd be right in that case but GINO was just a monster that had to be killed. There wasn't anything tragic about its story. Even the pregnancy angle wasn't anything getting watery-eyed over because the emotion wasn't really there in the first place.

Movies about giant animals - Them!, Tarantula, The Giant Gila Monster, that one about the giant grasshoppers - treat the monsters as something to be destroyed ... because they are. They're usually freaks of nature and destroy not because they have been provoked (Like Godzilla, King Kong, etc.), but because they're mindless animals doing what they do, only now on a much more massive scale.

Cloverfield is harder to see because the whole movie is set from the human's perspective. However the makers of the film have said that Clover is a baby, and is freaking out because of his new surrondings.

I think what he was saying was that Japanese filmmakers treat the monsters differently, even the ones who haven't been provoked.  Take the ending to Rodan: the military surrounds the two monsters in a volcano and launches a massive missile strike, causing the volcano to erupt.  One of the Rodans gets away but the other gets overtaken by the poison gas and heat and collapses to the ground.  The other one decides to commit suicide and lets itself get burned alive. 

Those monsters were destructive killing machines but in the end the audience sympathized with them because they were just trying to survive.  Most monsters are doing the same in Hollywood films, just trying to live, but you don't get the same level of sympathy towards them as you do in Toho's films.  Ishiro Honda himself said it best:  "Monsters are born too tall, too strong, too heavy, that is their tragedy."

You sure he didn't mean the square-cube law?  Be that as it may, the tokusatsu genre guarantees that the number of tragic monsters is still a small, albeit famous fraction of the majority.  Most everything else is downright hell-bent on destroying humanity for unsympathetic reasons.

One individual of the Rhedosaurus Species somehow got trapped in Antarcticaì, got revived by a nuke and went again to its home. During the movie they say that fossils of the Rhedosaurus Species were found in the canals of the Hudson (or somethin' along those lines). Natural instinct simply brought back the creature to its true home. If they wanted to put a metaphor in this film other than the anti-nuke one I don't know.

During the film (we are talking about The Beast from 20.000 Fathoms) it is clearly explained by Dr. Elson that the Rhedosaurus wants only to return to the lands which were once the territory of his species. He attacks the city not because he wants to, but because he's confused about this all-new environment, with those Palaces and People running around.
It is a long time I haven't watched Gojira (this being the main reason of my "hunt" for a decent DvD set :P), but I don't remember a similar explanation.

I've watched this afternoon my copy of Godzilla (1998) in Blu-Ray, and I have to say, it is truely astounding. I was thrilled, the effects this time are fantasticly upgraded thanks to the once-planned format now available. One or two shots are dodgy but hey, what movie with cgi doesn't have at least one?
If you like the film I definitely recommend this release, except if you also like the Extras, which suck. I still hope for some kind of anniversary/ultimate/special edition full of features..

Given that Toho has used CG before (and quite well, I might add), this isn't really the case.  Especially since the suits were also lackluster compared to previous films.

All in all, their budget was stretched too thin.

I think its cause GMK used CGI to enhance the suitmation, whereas in GFW CGI was used to fully create monsters like Manda and Zilla and that didn't work as well as blending the 2 methods.

Next to the Predator Godzilla is my favorite movie monster. I remember being so pumped for the 98 movie when I was in the 5th grade or so. Seen it liked it but of course I was 11 years old. Now I hate it. I mean it is just horrible even gave it another chance last summer to see if it atleast had a decent entertainment value while trying to imagine it as another monster altogether. It is horrible. I am really excited for this movie. Make Godzilla look like Godzilla make it terrifying and dark and I will be happy. Who can pull this off?

You're dealing with a monster destroying a city. And not a small one at that (The city or the monster).

Cloverfield pulled it off because of its mockumentary style. They could barely even afford a computer-generated model of the monster good enough to withstand the close-up you see of it at the end.

Rodriguez is all about fast and dirty indie filmmaking. Which is great for a lot of things, but not a big-budget spectacle feature on the scale of Godzilla. People want to see a city get trashed by a 150 foot tall monster; unless you're going to have that happen largely off-screen, you need the money necessary to make it look good, or else it's just going to be a procession of laughably bad effects.

If the effects are bad in an effects spectacle, no-one's going to be taking the movie seriously, and you're going to tank.

RR seems the only director want for the movie at the moment seeing how good his track record of movies are, and his recent "Predators" movie give the series a nice comeback after the awful AVP movies we got in the past few years (AVP fans hated AVP just much Godzilla fans did with G98).

You're under the impression that impressive effects have to be expensive.  Good effects can be achieved at minimal cost if the production crew knows what they're doing and plans everything out.  I should know, I've worked on them.

Screw Cloverfield.  The good G-films weren't always convincing, but they got by with a fraction of what Hollywood puts into its films.  Even after doubling the budget and putting all of that into the best effects, the cost would still be miniscule compared to big budget productions.

Yeah, Outlander had a budget of 47 million dollars. But there's another film that did a monstrous ( ;D ) job with a relatively insignificant budget. I'm talking about The Host, that had spectacular visuals based on 11 million dollars.

When it comes to special effects it depends more on the director than the budget.  Hack directors like Stephen Sommers and Rob Cohen can take a 150 million dollar film and make it look like a Nintendo video game with completely unrealistic and unbelievable special effects despite the massive budget.

Instead of this bullshit fashion of remaking, rebooting things, the studios should greenlight new projects or adaptations of books that we haven't seen yet.

e.g: MEG.

Give us Meg, it's been years since you promised us!!!

I mention him since everyone enjoy the movie that he was going to make. I doubt he will return anyime soon, and the only reason why the 1994 movie was not made due to the budget at the time.

I remember reading in the 1994 screenplay that Godzilla was a gaint Lizard that was frozen for millions of years, and he had no nuclar origin. I think people liked the original American Godzilla that was planned because Godzilla in that movie was more like Godzilla then the movie that we got.

Better, yes, but that's not saying much.  The '94 origin is still too Gamera, but if they can turn it into a cautionary allegory of the arms race, then maybe.  Better yet, they could have him rise up out of the Gulf of Mexico right now!  Still, I'd miss the cancer-inducing radiation.

True, though several of the Japanese continuities go ahead and provide alternative origins other than "dinosaur mutated by radiation", so it would really just depend on which series you happen to be watching at the time.

As I've said before, the Godzilla remake needs to take place in 1950's Japan and it needs to be in 3D. Big budget. I'm thinking, grand-scale epic. MAYBE if done kind of similar to Cloverfield and District 9, to give it a more "realistic" feeling, but there needs to be lots of destruction and the creature needs to be done with a mixture of CG and practical effects. I think WETA would be perfect for both.

It's funny someone mentioned Rodriguez, cause Tarantino, apparently, has always had an idea for a Godzilla movie:

Should Thomas Tull be apart of the new movie?

Only if he (of course if he's a part of this film) can make Akira NOT be PG-13, since that's what they want. If he can make that happen, then by all means, get Tull to be a part of this film.

Yeah. Why not, he could make a fantastic version of it (I love his style and visuals). A "Dark" Godzilla is a possibility I always considered.

As much I like Burton, I don't want him for the next movie. He already mess up Planet of the Apes, Willy Wonka, and Alice in Wonderland. I have a feeling that he will do the same with Godzilla.
Title: Re: Godzilla Remake and other Movie Monster Discussion
Post by: OmegaZilla on Jul 19, 2010, 09:46:46 PM
Could agree with Planet of the Apes, but what exactly was wrong with the latter two? Wonka especially. It ain't the original but it was a good remake indeed.
Title: Re: Godzilla Remake and other Movie Monster Discussion
Post by: Ratchetcomand on Jul 19, 2010, 09:48:51 PM
Because his remake of that movie did not had the magic that the original had. It feel like dull, and it's one of those movies you know what's going to happen from start to finish.

Title: Re: Godzilla Remake and other Movie Monster Discussion
Post by: ShadowPred on Jul 20, 2010, 06:10:34 PM
If this remake does very well, then I do think that Toho would want more, but I have a feeling that if they do, then they'll probably just let us Americans keep on making them, because we have the budget to do what they can't. So that's what I personally think will be the direction that Toho will take if this movie does very well.
Title: Re: Godzilla Remake and other Movie Monster Discussion
Post by: Ratchetcomand on Jul 20, 2010, 06:38:14 PM
Well G2k was only made because G98, and Toho wanted to bring Godzilla back seeing that movie did poorly with reviews. Toho's plan was to bring back Godzilla in 2004 after GvsD ended in 1995, then let the US have their own Godzilla movie series from what I have been told.

As I said before if this movie does well at the box office and gets good reviews, then Toho might not make anymore Godzilla movies in Japan.
Title: Re: Godzilla Remake and other Movie Monster Discussion
Post by: OmegaZilla on Jul 20, 2010, 06:41:41 PM
TOHO made G2K to capitalize on the good success G98 had; Let's not forget that the latter got a shitload of new fans in the franchise, so TOHO profited on that.
When talking about TOHO, it all comes to the money.
Title: Re: Godzilla Remake and other Movie Monster Discussion
Post by: Noir-Gojira on Jul 20, 2010, 10:24:23 PM
Toho made G2K to capitalize on how much fans hated  G'98. :P

GMK may be more supernatural than other G films, but in a series with space dragons, giant butterflies, and zombie robot mutant dinosaurs, it isn't all that exceptional in the fantasy department.
Title: Re: Godzilla Remake and other Movie Monster Discussion
Post by: Ratchetcomand on Jul 21, 2010, 02:25:10 AM
I still think if the new movie does well then Toho might not make any new movies for a while unless the LP movie sucks (Which I hope it does not). I hope the new remake then they might have Godzilla fight Rodan as his foe.

I really hope this movie is great. But, if not, at least Toho will make more movies to make up for it. I haven't hated a single Godzilla film yet. Godzilla 1998 was enjoyable, and it got me into the Godzilla franchise. OK, I hated Godzilla's Revenge, but my hatred toward it is what made me love it so much!

Well, not in a sense. Unless Legendary reveals that they're going to use Tatopoulos' design in the film and make it behave "that we, as fans, would like to see". God if that happens I'm so happy.

See, the Godzilla from GTS (or, better, a completely equal specimen, not necessarily that precise character) on this film is my main root. Only I'd like to see a Red Atomic breath instead.

I believe the design was a test to show what the American Godzilla will look like in the movie. LP said they are giving the movie a Dark Knight treatmeant for the movie. So this movie might end up having a tone similar to Gojira, and Return of Godzilla.

I also would like this to be horror...the idea of Godzilla is horrific. I want to see a giant monstrosity risen from the depths of time and the abyss to wreak havoc and horror...burning buildings, flaming wreckage, bodies everywhere. That promo pic captures the mood I'd like to see, even if the design itself is a bit shit. May I suggest:

his body form is more reptilian than dinosaurlike though, a dinosaur would have smaller forearms which are mounted further round the chest. instead of on the sides like a lizard (or human)

one of the major things about lizards are the fact their limbs come out from the sides and then do down, when dinosaur limbs go straight down.

Considering the film in discussion (GMK) is Fantasy, no doubt.
Radioactive zombie dinosaurs fighting guardian deities isn't fantasy, its supernatural.
Which falls under "Fantasy" if you miss what Fantasy is about. ;)

There ain't magical or supernatural elements in them. Aliens, Giant Robots and stuff along these lines are sci-fi. Angry souls are Fantasy. No more or less.
Maybe Mothra could be fantasy since there are the Shobijin in some films featuring the creature.

Isn't he supposed to be just a giant reptile that happens to look like a dinosaur? I think it was in KK vs. Godzilla a scientist said he's a cross b/w Stegosaurus and T.Rex.

I believe he means the book book posted above.

And I also like seeing the suit. You start off with a great original, then they get goofier and goofier (and rip more and more, you can see hanging pieces of suit in some of the movies from being used too much :P) Then the Heisi comes along, and Godzilla looks really cool. Then in 1998, we don't have a suit, but a CG Zilla, and finally the millennium series, which had the most variety in it's suits. My favorite suit was Godzilla 2000, and GMK's suit was awesome, too, I think because of the white eyes.

I thought The Godzillasaurus in the movie was a adult? The Godzillasaurus is already larger than any other theropod species anyways.

It was never expressly stated either way, but the development of Godzilla Jr. hints that the big spines are found on adults, which actually makes sense when compared to some real life examples.  The size I would assume would be a recent evolutionary adaptation that would allow the species to feed on whales, which is also supported by Godzilla's notorious attraction to high-frequency sounds.

I'm pretty convinced that you don't.

The Sci-Fi and Fantasy sub-genres are often grouped together because they both address fictitious or otherwise impossible feats and present them as plausible.  Supernatural, by contrast, will treat similar happenings as out of the ordinary and unexplainable by conventional understanding.  Hence the name Super Natural.  Incidentally, supernatural elements can defy or conflict with sci-fi elements, but they rarely "nullify".  I don't even know what hole you pulled that one out of.

He's right to an extent though, they're very rarely mixed. When you DO mix Fantasy and Sci-fi, you often get Steampunk, which I assure you, no Godzilla movie has ever done.

Post by: OmegaZilla on Aug 05, 2010, 08:45:30 AM
Fantasy is based on supernatural events, supernatural characters and all the narrative objects along these lines. There are various Fantasy sub-genres, such as Future Fantasy, Space Fantasy, Urban Fantasy, etc. Steampunk Fantasy (i.e. HellBoy), contains elements that would lead to Sci-Fi (in the film, explanations about Sammael's lifecycle), but the supernatural elements in it (Demons, Demonic Resurrection, Hell, etc.) classify it as Fantasy, and point in question, Steampunk Fantasy. Steampunk is, essentially, a genre "archetype" in which there is always an alternate universe where humanity has discovered things (from steam, which derivates in the term, to electricity, to mechanisms, etc.) before than it did in ours, and so the consecutio eventorum is completely screwed up. Steampunk can be applied to both Sci-Fi and Fantasy (hence why I labeled it as an "archetype") - so we have the already described Steampunk Fantasy, and Steampunk Sci-Fi. Same base, different development. Fantasy and Sci-Fi couldn't exist together, because Sci-Fi bases itself on scientific speculation. There is always a plausible, to the extreme a lot improbable, explanation. If we approach to supernatural in a specific film, Sci-Fi is nullified, because it needs a scientific explanation.
For a concrete example, what does separate Dracula from the Mbwun?
Dracula is created through a supernatural event that can't be explained normally, and hence is Supernatural in nature. The Mbwun has a scientific explanation (believable or not) for its monstrous appearence and qualities - alas, that freakin' gene plant that mutates the genes of the ones who ingest it. Dracula belongs to Fantasy (Horror Fantasy in this case) and Mbwun belongs to Sci-Fi. Though, the latter technically could be included in Fantasy because nothing forbids it, but the former can't be included in Sci-Fi because the genre needs a believable explanation, as already said ^above. Fantasy is more flexible on this field.


Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters all out Attack contains as plot elements tormented souls that render a monster invincible, and three monsters that represent Earth (Baragon), Water (Mothra) and Air (King Ghidorah. It's Fantasy. The only Fantasy film in which Godzilla has ever starred. :P

I haven't watched Godzilla Vs. MechaGodzilla in a long time but now I remember about King Caesar and bla. Classifies it as Fantasy, if there's not any explanation for them.

Highly improbable yes, impossible no. And even if it was impossible, science fiction is a genre based on speculations. What if we nuke a Dinosaur and it mutates because of the Radiations? What if Alien Invaders lure us in a trap and use a giant three headed dragon to attack us? What if the Nukes piss off an underground race that sends a giant mechanical bug to get a vengeance? Etc.

Not really discussing the possibility of those events. It's Sci-Fi! It would be like saying "oh, it can't be that an extremely advanced race of Aliens is still at a tribal level of culture" or "oh, it can't be that we clone dinosaurs through amber mosquitoes". Sci-Fi is always based on speculation. Gojira speculates on a Dinosaur surviving to the 1950's and because of Radiations, is mutated into a monstrous being. I have repeatedly said what defines Sci-Fi in above posts. Scientific Explanation and absence of confirmed supernatural elements.

So it was co-written by the guy that did the AvP novelisation.
He also wrote five Godzilla novels published by Random House. The fifth was never released.

I'm really surprsied at the amount of Godzilla fans here, yet no Tokusatsu Super Hero fans... weird.

Because, no offense, but a lot of those shoes are really dumb IMO. I can take giant monsters beating the hell out of each other, but throw in a giant "human", and I won't go near it.

It goes against my views as a monster fan.

I can't accept "humanoid" monsters like Godzilla and co. but when you get outright humanoid things like Ultraman beating the crap out of giant monsters, I can't accept it. It's just how I am. It just feels like I'm watching a human fight something superior to it, and winning, and I have trouble suspending belief for that.

Ultraman Nexus is one of the darkest of the Ultraman shows, that's why it's my favourite.

Some of the early CGI is a bit shitty but you'll love the f**ken show. Make sure to download all of it.

Even in "Raids Again", the closest Anguirus comes to villain is "lovable underdog".  Save for that film, every appearance by Anguirus in the showa era has solidified his role as one of Godzilla's best friends.  Not even Final Wars was able to change that.

Original Gojira was a solo film too.
The fact that Return of Godzilla didn't make much money isn't chained to the fact it is a solo film. Godzilla 1998 made more than any other Godzilla film released theatrically (yes it did, no moot or debatable at all), and it was a solo film.
Sometimes it's better a solo film than a versus if you ask me. Some Monsters suffer from not much attention when featured in versuses (sp?) only. Example would be Battra, or Destroyah. God, a monster doesn't need to have versuses only to have a good series of films. Look at Alien. It held itself very high for 4 films, and it didn't fight any other monster until AvP. Personally, a new Trilogy based on Godzilla only wouldn't hurt. May I add, it would be more interesting than countless versuses.

That's different. Toho did not plan on making Godzilla into a series of movies at the time, and most people are going to see the new movie to see Godzilla fight someone.
That's what the military is for.  And whether or not Toho planned for a series doesn't change the fact that a solo outing launched Godzilla's career.

But Godzilla against the military gets old fast. They did a Godzilla vs. Military movie back in 98, and we all know how that movie turn out.

It didn't suck because it was Zilla vs. military. That was the basic idea of the original movie like Omega pointed out. It sucked because Zilla was a bitch and the pregnancy angle was dumb.

in spoilers in case you haven't seen godzilla vs king ghidorah.
Spoiler
well for a start king ghidorahs origin actually prevents godzilla's origin from happening, and it involves people coming from the future, promising to prevent godzillas creation, and little pet things mutating into a giant hydra in godzilla's place, and then the military having to recreate godzilla in the present day. it involves too many paradoxes etc. and it's kinf of stupid.

For King Ghidorah I would want a stand alone instead. the story from Monster Zero (sans all the other monsters) has got potential. For once I would want to see him as the titular monster, with no Godzilla and/or Rodan/Mothra takin' the scene.

It wouldn't work for the same reason a series starring the GMK-Godzilla wouldn't: As a malevolent villain, Ghidorah can't win or else there couldn't be a sequel, and he's too badass to be defeated by anything short of another monster.

It doesn't need to be defeated, but it hasn't to win anyway.
Some Monster Movies didn't apply the former nor the latter (or didn't apply both).
As said, plot of Monster Zero + good special effects, plot development and characters - Godzilla & Rodan = what I'm looking for. I even drew a redesign of King Ghidorah once basing myself on this - it looked way more alien than its official counterpart, and personally, seemed to be kinda Lovecraftian.

Yes, it does.  Some films can get away with an open-ending, but an evil, civilization-destroying space dragon attacking Earth will have audiences screaming for closure.

Speaking of whom, King Ghidorah may be popular among G-fans, but he doesn't have the same amount of sway with mainstream audiences.  Trying to appeal as a standalone character is hard enough without sticking the story on some alien planet and completely removing the human character element that movie goers can connect with.

With good viral and advertisement you can get anywhere. Look at Cloverfield. Pretty much the Monster ain't popular at the time of its release, but the monstrous hype contributed to its success. Plus, if the film itself is good, it can hit at the box office nonetheless (not talking about Cloverfield though :P), popular monster or not.

Where in this topic did I say "no characters/humans"? Nowhere. in fact I said (repeatedly) plot of Monster Zero. As everyone may know here it involves a spacecraft (which crew was called Glenn and Fuji if I'm not wrong) approaching to the just-discovered Planet X. It is, as said, full of potential for a Stand-Alone, with the other 2 monsters cut out.

It was crap, Godzilla did not appear in the movie until the last 30 mins of the movie and all of the fight sceens in the movie where super short. That you get boring, and unoriginal characters in the movie that you would careless about. If you want to check it out then go see it.

Make it be the last, or skip it point blank. It has nothing to offer but  an overdone monster cast which doesn't get a proper onscreen appearence; all the present monsters sans Monster X get a ridicolously short fight, some don't even last 20 seconds (see Hedora, the director should drown in shame). About the rest of the film, which supposedly would get you interested for when the monsters appear, features unoriginal characters and a mishmash of Independence Day, Visitors and Matrix. I'd pass if I were you.
If you haven't seen Destroy All Monsters yet, definitely go for it instead of this. It's the same base practically, executed immensely better (even on the effects field).

Thanks for the reply. I have only watched a few Godzilla movies mostly because I'm a lazyass who should download them all someday. ;D
But my favourite one so far has to be Godzilla vs King Ghidorah (1991). It has the best setpiece/miniature work of the franchise IMO and the monsters' designs were great. Also, the story's pretty good aside from some plot holes/goofs.

There are plenty of prehistoric radioactive monsters in movie history.  The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms, the ants of THEM, Mothra's island was originally a victim of radioactive fallout, Rodan,  Heisei King Ghidorah literally shared the same nuclear blast as Godzilla, the list goes on.

are there any monsters with the same origin as godzilla (or could be made to have the same origin)? having the other monster have the same origin would be the easiest thing to do

There are plenty of prehistoric radioactive monsters in movie history.  The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms, the ants of THEM, Mothra's island was originally a victim of radioactive fallout, Rodan,  Heisei King Ghidorah literally shared the same nuclear blast as Godzilla, the list goes on.

i meant literally was on the same island as godzilla at the same time and got mutated with the same blast (time travel and weird alien pets aside)

There is 28 Godzilla movies made by Toho, and 30 if you count the 1998 remake along with the upcoming movie from LP. Speaking of Gamera, anyone buy the new releases of the Showa Gamera movies yet?

I bought both of them. My friend August Rogane worked on the subbing for them.

2 new releases are coming out WITH 2 movies on each dvd. The 4 Gamera versus movies.

Yeah I know August on TK, he is a awesome guy to talk too. I might buy the Showa Gamera movies on DVD soon.

Are you talking about the bug monster? That monster is named "Barubaroi" which is evolving bug creature. I don't think Anguirus was supposed to fly in the movie since I think its a part of his shell like it was in the old publicity stills for "Godzilla Raids Again" back in the 1950's.

Never mind the reboot, when on earth are they going to release good DVDs of the Heisei films in the states?  It's depressing when a turd like Godzilla's Revenge gets a classy DVD packed with bonus stuff while good entries like Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah and Godzilla vs. Destroyer get crappy dubbed releases with no extra material.  Not to mention Godzilla 1985 and Godzilla vs. Biollante, which aren't available in any format.

I was hoping for a Godzilla solo film, but whatever.  If they have to go with a monster adversary I hope it's a new one as opposed to a recycled one.  If they insist on recycling however, I'd prefer Mothra.

I think Toho expressly forbade them from making a new monster. Since I remember reading that Toho told Tristar that it  had to be a Toho creation then a original monster for Godzilla to fight in the movie.

They have made great G-films for less before.  Final Wars crapped out because the budget was spread too thin, the directing sucked, and the story was poorly executed.

Any preferences for composers and music?  I'm hoping that they'll use the "King of Monsters" score from Final Wars.

Yes, but it still wasn't perfect.  The CG destruction was nice, but Godzilla, still lacked a degree of texture and depth to seem completely real.  It's a problem suffered by most CG creatures.  Disney's Davy Jones is one of the few characters to avoid this problem.

The Host costed 11 million dollars, and it has a damn better cgi and animatronics. And we were only 2 years later, so not much of an advancemente and blablabla. The CGI for Godzilla Final Wars was just lazy.

The cgi Godzilla from Always 2 really looked good; I'm already happy if they use that model. But if they use Jurassic Park/Godzilla '98 level of cgi, I'm sure the full cgi Godzilla will not be that bad to see. Sure, I would have loved to hear that an animatronic head would also be in, but no one could satisfy everyone, 'aight?

If they were to remake this in CG, the suit would look more believable, mark my words.

And my point was just about Godzilla, he's been a guy in a suit for nearly 60 years in every damn movie he's been, not accounting for that one cameo he made.

Suit always beats CG, especially when you have a character that is nearly 60 years old that has been a guy in a suit for roughly 99.9% of the time.

Definitely not.

Any costume made with talent and a budget can look awesome.
Look at this:

The great thing about costumes is that when done right, you have something that follows the laws of physics. CGI can do whatever it wants.
I'll remain open to the CG in the new movie, but I will miss the costumes.

that's the great thing about MoCap, because it follows something real! it is resricted to the reality of physics too!

although i will say physics works slightly differently at all scales so what is reralistic at 6 foot, is not always realistic at 600ft or whatever.

also a suit is restricted by the shape of the human body. which CGI is not

The only movies that he is working on is Spykids 4, and Deadpool. I think he can handle a Godzilla movie.

The Final Wars suit was a step up from the suit used in the two Kiryu films, which looked like it was made of hard plastic, but it still wasn't as good as the 90s suits.  I loathed the suit from G2K and GxM; the design was stupid and the suit itself looked incredibly fake.  Part of the problem of the Millennium era was that, with the exception of GMK, they didn't bother to make animatronic heads for Godzilla the way they did for the Heisei films.  In the 90s, Godzilla's lips, tongue, eyes, and mouth moved realistically.  All the Millennium suits could do was open and close the mouth.  Really lame and fake-looking.

BOOO YAHHH!!!!!

Godzilla Reboot Will Get Serious, Face New Monsters

Back in March we reported that a reboot of the famous horror franchise Godzilla was on its way. The last time we saw  the monster in US theaters it was in Roland Emmerich's 1998 remake of the original that featured Matthew Broderick. To say it bombed at the box office would be an understatement, so the folks over at Legendary are trying their hardest to rectify that mistake. More news has surfaced regarding the next film, which will have a darker more serious tone.


Even though a director hasn't been named, the rebooted Godzilla is scheduled to hit theaters in 2012 ( a crowded year for blockbusters). It will need something big and fresh to stave off the competition, like another monster. If you've followed the Godzilla series you know that the creature has fought everything under the sun and this new film will be no different. Producer Brian Rogers spoke to the people over at Zennie 62, and revealed that he'll be taking the Batman Begins approach to the reboot.

Here's what Rogers had to say in detail during this video interview:

Post by: OmegaZilla on Sep 26, 2010, 06:41:58 PM
If I'm not wrong TOHO forbidden Tristar to make a "custom" monster for their film and this was one of the reasons the first script (and consequently, the Griffin design) were discarded. Could someone back me up on this?
Title: Re: Godzilla Remake and other Movie Monster Discussion
Post by: Ratchetcomand on Sep 26, 2010, 09:32:44 PM
Yeah that was another reason why the original Tristar movie was scrap. New monsters don't work well as they used too, picking other Toho monsters will help make more money. You don't see WB making new villain for a Superman or Batman movie do you ;)?

(I never considered Gojira and Godzilla Raids Again to be a part of the Showa era, kind of like how Godzilla 1985 was technically part of the Showa era but is considered Heisei, and how Godzilla 2000 was made in the 90s but is conisdered part of the Millennium series.  The first two Godzilla films are just so different than what we got in the 60s and 70s that I can't consider them to be a part of the same continuity.)


Excellent points. I'd rather the now movie take after the Hensiei series anyway.

For the first film I would agree because you want to establish Godzilla's character. But bring in monsters for sequels though.

People are tried of solo films, people want to see Godzilla want to fight another monster. That's one of the major let downs of G98 that their was not enough monster for Godzilla to fight in the movie.
Title: Re: Godzilla Remake and other Movie Monster Discussion
Post by: SiL on Sep 28, 2010, 09:56:12 PM
Of Godzilla's 29 films -- that's including GINO -- only three of them are stand alone movies.

I'm sick of the punch-ups. They're great fun, but they're silly. If you're going for a serious movie, having one 50-meter tall monster is pushing credibility far enough -- two is going to take it overboard, and by the time they have a smackdown we're right back where we were before they decided to be serious about the whole thing.

The idea of Godzilla against the army gets old. And people do like smackdowns since that's why people watch Godzilla movies in the first place. Return of Godzilla was a solo movie and I did not do that well at the box office.

Also a monster mash up can turn out to be a serious film if it was done right. Look at GMK for example.

I'd also much prefer a solo film.  Godzilla has had only two solo appearances out of almost 30 films; how can fans be tired of that?  If anything, we should be tired of the monster mashes.  However, since LP seems set on making this another punch-up, they might as well do it right.  If it's something along the lines of Godzilla vs. Biollante, it should be okay.

Godzilla vs SpaceGodzilla was a VS movie, and it sucked at the box office too.  In fact, Godzilla has had more VS films that have failed financially than Solo films. :P

GMK had terrible, goofy fight scenes too.

And oddly enough, so does Godzilla fighting the new, improved Monster(s) of the Week for twenty six God-damned films. They're all the same damned movie, just replacing the name of the monster and occasionally the location. At least this has the excuse of being a remake, not a sequel.

QuoteAlso a monster mash up can turn out to be a serious film if it was done right. Look at GMK for example.
For all GMK's seriousness ... it's still friggin' silly. It's still rubber suits bumping up against each other, and I'm sorry, but Mothra is the dumbest f**king giant monster ever. Ever. Kick-ass theme song, totally useless bad guy. Anything with it I find ludicrous because it is so totally and utterly inept.

Mothra screeches, but that's about as effective as me screaming in your ear.

The final move doesn't kill her, the final move (poison scales) just robs her of the ability to fly . . . she was usually going to die before that anyway (because she gave birth).  That's right, having kids means DEATH.  Also, pretty much all Mothras are girls, except for Mothra Leo in the Rebirth Trilogy.

In the 1992 version of Godzilla vs. Mothra it fired beams out of its antennae.  A lot of fans hated that, but I thought it looked pretty cool on-screen, especially since Mothra isn't really a match for Godzilla otherwise.  In practically every other movie it just shows up and gets roasted: Mothra vs. Godzilla, GMK, Tokyo SOS, Final Wars...

That being said, the original 1961 film Mothra is a real classic.  It's just a solo movie but it has a good story, good effects, and incredible musical score by Akira Ifukube.  If they go with any adversary for Godzilla in 2012 I hope it's Mothra; it just seems like the most cinematic of his foes. Mothra has a good mythological backstory and it's also recognizable stateside as a character.  The 1992 movie was a massive hit in Japan, as was the 60s original.  LP would be wise to go with Mothra.  Failing that, I say bring in King Ghidorah or Rodan. 
Title: Re: Godzilla Remake and other Movie Monster Discussion
Post by: Noir-Gojira on Sep 29, 2010, 07:13:26 AM
Mothra wasn't a match for Godzilla in 1992 either.  Heck, she even had her butt kicked by another giant butterfly!  The only reason she lived was because Battra was too dumb to live.

MOTHRA:  We need to carry Godzilla out to sea!  You grab him by the head!
BATTRA: Duh, okay!
GODZILLA: *BITE TO THE THROAT!  FIRE TO THE FACE!*

Mothra was a bitch in that movie.

I am of the firm belief that Godzilla (1954) is the greatest monster movie ever made.  Followed closely by King Kong (1933).  No remake or sequel will ever top it.

Also great is The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms (1953) which I read somewhere was the inspiration for Godzilla.

'Beast' is to Gojira what 'Them' is to Aliens.  'Beast' got the idea rolling, but Gojira turned it into something significant.  I genuinely like 'Beast,' it's a fast, fun monster movie with good visuals.  The human element, though, is completely lacking.   I don't remember any of the characters or dialogue from the film apart from Lee Van Cleef's cameo at the end.  To me, Yamane and Serizawa from Gojira are far more interesting and developed than anyone from 'Beast.'  I also don't remember any of the musical cues from 'Beast,' while almost all of the tracks from Gojira are now classic.  That's my take on it.

I've only seen the Japanese version, which I call Godzilla, which is "Gojira" in English.  I heard that the Americanised version is totally butchered.  Reading subtitles is fine by me.

The Americanised version had an American actor put in it.

Awesome. I think my first was G98. I loved it, and ended up getting KOTM and Godzilla vs Mothra (the first one) on VHS. Still have all of the VHSs also!

I think my first Godzilla movie was KOTM when I was two or three years old. I remember renting a VHS copy of it, and I almost cry at the end when Godzilla was killed. Lucky at the time I knew that there was more Godzilla movies.

I'd kind of would prefer darker colors, but over all thus far this is my favorite Godzilla design.

I think its the best blend of "realism", with the "classic" look.

Realism doesn't suit Godzilla, which is why the classic look is best.  That design looks like a half-assed T-Rex.  I don't want a f**king T-Rex.  I want GODZILLA.

Hardly. The design looks realistic while keeping all the features that make it obviously Godzilla.


This is what a T.Rex looks like:

Well, mixed reviews is to be expected. No this was not the Tristar Godzilla design.

It was a model made by private model maker Galileo Nunez, who operates this website here:
http://www.geenemodels.com/

It is his own design. He is very well grounded in actual dinsosaur anatomy. He does quite a few other things too, but it seems that most of his customers want dinosaurs.

His work is exellent. Keep in mind, the model is only 8" x 16", its not like a studio scale maquette.

Sometimes a PAINT JOB makes all the difference... Any improved views of his design? Well, I guess I like it anyway, to me it looks FAR BETTER than that 1998 Over grown Iguana.

Believe it or not, that is Galileo's second design. The first one everyone complianed the head was too big, so he reduced the size a bit on his second design.

this head on that body would be perfect, it has the realism and the menace and evil of the classic design. i think the design would be better overall with a better head design.

I'd reject any design that has Godzilla in a horizontal posture.  To me that's just another misguided attempt at making him look more realistic.  Godzilla should have a vertical, human-like posture.

Blind and FAT.  Especially compared to the other Godzilla designs.  Really, the only good thing about that suit was the amount of facial expression it could perform.

The legs were indeed the worst thing about the GMK Godzilla - as in a lot of other designs, they looked too big. But the rest of the design is really great; the head for one, is fantastic. The pupil-less eyes are one good innovation if you ask me, never tried in any other designs and it works quite good here, contributes to an "eerie" feel. The back spikes are cool too, although I preferred the crystalline variation from G2K's design.

steampunk? League of Extraordinary Gentlemen or Marvel 1602, maybe Marvel Noir at a stretch, for example is steampunk, normal universe Marvel is not. i can't think of one pieve of steampunk technology in Marvel.

and the midichlorians were only invented in the 90's iirc, so there was almost 20 years with the force but no midichlorians

Maybe steampunk is stretchin' it a bit, sorry, I used quite the wrong term and didn't put sufficient thought into it... but still, it is various genres of fantasy, varying from urban to futuristic, mixed into one universe, with sci-fi elements.
Caution, the fact that Fantasy can have sci-Fi elements doesn't absolutely mean that Sci-Fi can have supernatural elements in it.
Sci-Fi is based on Scientific Speculation; Fantasy is based on something that is already supernatural; Supernatural strictly kills Sci-Fi, but Scientific Speculation doesn't necessarily kill Fantasy.

i see where you are coming from. but i still think a sci fi can have inexplicable fantasy elements without being completely sci fi, i mean who's to say the fantastic elements don't have a scientific explanation within the godzilla universe, but no-one within the godzilla universe has worked any of it out yet.

Square-shaped head, irregular & protruding teeth, thick and armored scales, protruding and fin-like dorsal plates, humanoid shoulders and hands, avian legs with 4 thick toes with prodigious claws on them and a long, crocodilian tail. Yeah, totally an overgrown Iguana.


Those were the differences.

I never said it looked "exactly" like an Iguana.

The overall flow of the form obviously looked like a giant bipedal Iguana.

The design was meant to look similar to one, does look similar, and in the story it was a mutated one from radiation.

That was the number one complaint I have heard countless times about about the look of the 1998 Godzilla.

The skin is too natural.  Godzilla's skin was deliberately pitted and blackened because of his exposure to radiation.  He's literally a walking burn victim, crazed with pain and bent on vengeance.  That's part of his charm.

Nope, radiation burns.  Interestingly, conventional artillery CAN draw blood, much like with G'98, BUT Godzilla has an accelerated healing factor that puts Wolverine to shame.

"Overgrown Iguana" means an Iguana that has grown too much, unless you meant something else.

How. The movements were pretty much an extremized version of the Jurassic Park dinosaurs crossed with some humanoid traits - the only moment that makes the creature resemble a classical reptile is when it crawls in the subway.

Quote from: Meathead320 on Oct 05, 2010, 08:57:01 PM

Um, no. The intention was of to make a design that had some signature traits of the original one (4 fingers, shoulders, plates, etc.) with mixed reptilian traits (such as the ^dewlap of an Iguana, the teeth of a Crocodile, the "chin" of Shere Kan, anatomically inspired by that of a "Selfin Dragon", as referred from Tatopoulos). The overall intention was not to make an Iguana, nor a Dinosaur. They wanted a Dragon in their film.

Depending on who you ask, it is either a Turkey, the abortion of a T.rex and an Alien Queen that have slept together, an overgrown Iguana, Jay Leno that wears the Godzilla suit, etc. It's one way among the countless others to tease or straight off insult the design.


On a side note this discussion reminded me I bloody want this statue:

This is not Jurassic Park. This is Godzilla. Jurassic Park is a good movie, but don't put that style in a Godzilla movie.

Except when it explicitly shows iguanas looking at the atomic explosion, then dramatically zooms into an iguana egg.

Then go buy one. By all means. It was a cool looking monster.

I just did not feel it looked like Godzilla, but then that is subjective.

It WAS intended to have Iguanoid features, and I can clearly see the resemblance in the design.

Overgrown means more than just "up scaled". I could have gone into depth and described all the ways it was distorted too, and I implied it.

So, he was an Overgrown, distorted, radiated, IGUANA.

So, he was an Overgrown, distorted, radiated, IGUANA.
No proof it was an Iguana
No proof beyond Devilin and Emmer-ick openly saying so.

And basic montage theory (Image of iguana + nuclear explosion + egg + mutated giant lizard = Mutated giant iguana).

But does it matter what species it is? At the end of the day, it's still a mutated lizard. That's still pretty gay.

It's like the millionth time I hear of this "proposal" and I still don't see the sense behind it - If Godzilla 1998 has little to do with the original (moot), it has even less to do with TBF2TF.

Like I trust an article that lists data of the American Godzilla under the name "Zilla". Zilla is the thing that appeared in Final Wars full stop. No connections other than a phisical resemblance.
It's like that I call "Alien" the spoof in SpaceBalls and pretend it's the same thing.

1. To grow beyond normal or usual size.

20cm tall I think.

  Really dude. Why are you so upset finding out its design is based on an Iguana?
You like that statue, and it IS a cool design.

I said it was "Overgrown Iguana", and I directly implied distorted and radiated too, and EVERYBODY ELSE knew what I meant.

Then you resort to getting out the dictionary to try and prove that I'm wrong, to point our the word "overgrown" was not used 100% perfectly, or was not all encompassing enough to describe a Giant radiation mutated Iguana.

I don't believe that you really think I somehow thought it looked "Exactly" like an Iguana.

If you were not aware that the 1998 Godzilla was supposed to be a radiated sea Iguana; that is no reason to attack the messenger.

Picking apart everything that is stated, to try and express that you are right does not make the 1998 Godzilla any less of an Overgrown Marine Iguana.

Ha! I used it wrong again! Everyone here KNOWS what I meant, don't play dumb, you also know what I mean.

The original Godzilla was a radiated, overgrown Godzillasaurus. Fictional theropod dinosaur. Keep in mind this costume was made at a time when we thought T-Rex looked more like this too.

  (https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg710.imageshack.us%2Fimg710%2F3294%2Fgodzillasaurus.jpg&hash=1e51948c8425bfc40034f4cc56e38627f191d0f1)

The modern Horizontal walking depiction really only goes back to the 1980's. Before then T-Rex was often depicted looking very much like this Godzillasuarus.

The point is that Godzilla was based on the views of what Dinosaurs were thought to look like at the time of his invention, and was supposed to be an Overgrown, Mutated dinosaur.

I'd FAR prefer he be a giant mutated Godzillasaurus than a Marine Iguana, it still is fantasy after all.

That was the biggest complaints about the 1998 film. He looked too much like an Iguana, and Godzilla fans thought he did not look enough like Godzilla, did not behave like Godzilla, and was far too weak to be Godzilla.

If you view the 1998 Godzilla as some other missnamed monster, then its easier to enjoy the movie. Many Godzilla fans that like the movie call him GINO. They see it as a decent popcorn "giant monster" movie, just not Godzilla.

You can get into that one with the Paleontologists who reconstruct them.

ALL of the original reconstruction's of theropods, including T.Rex, Allosaurus, Megalosaurus etc... that were positioned as upright walking dinosaurs had to have their fossil hips actually BROKEN to be positioned in such a way.

Out of the hundreds of  the known theropods, NONE of them had such an upright stance. There are scientists who make their careers figuring out how they fit together, and their best leading theories ALL have them standing in more horizontal positions. 

Not that I think Godzilla should stand as horizontal as the 1998 GINO.

If I wanted a depiction of a Godzillasaurus, and this our beloved radiated version Godzilla, I much prefer Galileo's design.

Where he still has him more upright than a real dinosaur, but not as much as a human in a floppy rubber suit. Some people prefer the vertical look, some like the horizontal, I like an inbetween.

Likely has to do with the model only being 8" x 16". That is pretty small scale, especially for Godzilla.

Galileo might be making a new updated one soon, at 16" x 32", and likely will have more detail all around.

true,

what i always thought, was that the movie was called Godzilla, because the monster in the movie resembled Godzilla in a way, but wasn't really Big G himself.  If you watched that movie and it was called something else, you would still say, "hey! that monster kinda looks like Godzilla."  People always refer to something large as "Godzilla", like "That is a Godzilla sized hamburger!", or what ever.

hope you guys kind kinda understand my point.  :-\

If Predators, Friday the 13th '09, and A Nightmare on Elm Street '010 can do well at the box office then Godzilla should do too. I think Spring 2012 might be a good date for Godzilla.

Last i checked, Godzilla is way more popular than all of those. I suppose we'll just have to wait.

You can get into that one with the Paleontologists who reconstruct them.

Out of the hundreds of  the known theropods, NONE of them had such an upright stance.   

Found one. (http://hem.fyristorg.com/nonne/Jackass%20Penguin.jpg) :P

One bonus of having their feet so far back that they walk upright is that they are more streamline for swimming.  Makes perfect sense for Godzilla.


Your desperation to find ONE theropod that walked upright leading you to a Penguin as the closest match proves my point.

It is decended from a type of theropod, granted, but that is like trying to find a tailless monkey, and pointing out a chimpanzee, OR a human - no longer monkeys.

Penguins are awkward and helpless on land too. Godzilla should be a badass on land as well as the water.

Making godzilla Penguin like does not exactly enhance his appeal to me as a monster.

When I think Godzilla, I think of this:

That is exactly why Galileo changed his design to look a bit less T-Rex like. The one in that picture was design one. The thicker one, not running, with a relatively smaller head is design 2.

Hate it?  Quite the opposite. (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ptitleul0owi4irvy5?from=Main.EverythingsBetterWithPenguins)  As loveable as they are however, many people do not perceive penguins as dangerous.

These will be the first people to killed by them (the flipper of a penguin alone is strong enough to break a man's leg)

Speaking from personal experience, pound for pound, most waterbirds are the meanest bastards in their weight class.

He is a Toho creation, he first appear in Frankenstein conquers the World then had a small cameo in DAM, and finaly had a major role in GMK. I believe he was plan in Godzilla vs. MechaGodzilla '74 before he was replace with Anguirus.

I like Baragon, and I would like to see him more often. I hope he appears in the IWD comics since he appear in most of the Godzilla video games, and one of the novels from the 90's IIRC.

In DAM it was supposed to be Baragon and not Gorosaurus attacking, thats why he could suddenly dig.
And I believe he was replaced like two more times by random monsters.

Not what I meant. You said you were worried on how they would explain Space Godzilla, who is actually easier to explain than Biollante, and yet you didnt see any possible problems with how they would explain Biollante, who you just said has a much more intricate story and would be harder to work in. Thats why such characters as Biollante, Destroyah, and Jet Jaguar who have very intricate one shot stories, are not included in Godzilla Final Wars.

I'm pretty sure it will be a on going series depends how it sells. Baragon is popular believe it or not, he is rather popular in Japan. I won't mind seeing Varan in the IWD comics even if he becomes a cannon flodder.

He was so popular that they frequently loaned him out to appear in commercials throughout the 1960's.  In fact, it was because the suit was so overused that it could only make a cameo appearance in DAM (too worn down and broken).

I love this flick. There was a time in which they aired Gorgo in one of my local tv channels at least once a week, and I watched it plenty of times.  I never could get enough of it as a child. A month ago I think, I finally found a dvd release of it and bought it without thinking of it twice. I still love it.
Also this makes me wonder, has anyone here seen The Giant Behemoth? It is the second part of Lourie's Dinosaur Trilogy and I would like to buy it.

Also YES to any appearence of Baragon, especially with his 2001 incarnation.

I absolutely love the 90's Gamera films, they get better as they go on. I wonder if the Godzilla comic will take place in the established Godzilla universe, and if so which one? Still looking forward to it, love the Dr. Who and Jurassic Park comics IDW puts out (which you should totally buy so they keep making them).

Well, Jurassic Park is a very nostalgic franchise to many people, so using nostalgia is a good way to get people hooked. it will probably wear off soon. As for Godzilla, what the fans want is all-out awesomeness, good art, and classic monsters. looks like that's what were getting.

Guillermo Del Toro Is Not Directing Godzilla

http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/ComicBookMovieCentral/news/?a=23936

This is what the director had to say, once the rumor was explained to him.

"I am not involved in 'Godzilla' at all," Guillermo replied "I haven't read it or plan to read it. Nor have I been approached to direct it."

Pity. :(

Most westerners still have little or no respect for the franchise, and wouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole.  I blame the Showa movies, particularly the later ones.  Godzilla vs. Megalon was a popular TV hit in the 70s and it pretty much ruined the Godzilla name forever.

I just new that was to good to be true when I read it. On a more positive note, Matt Frank (known as kaijusamurai on deviant art, one of the best artists to draw Godzilla) may be involved. From his journal "So, yeah, this is happening ;P

[link]

All that's known right now includes:

- Mothra, Rodan and Ghidorah are confirmed, more Toho monsters to POSSIBLY appear.

- Eric Powell, best known for his series THE GOON (published by Dark Horse), will be writing and providing covers for at least the first three issues.

- Original monsters will also be involved.

- Chris Ryall, editor-in-chief of IDW, has stated that the series will be something akin to LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENTLEMEN...with monsters....?

Despite overwhelming demand, I can't comment on my own involvement yet. I do have a prior relationship with IDW comics, and I can confirm that this has been in talks for awhile. Stay tuned for more info!"
You expect us to buy that? If he really wasn't involve, he would tell us.  ;)

David Callaham?  Well, we can now expect an unimaginative script that's loaded with cliched dialogue, bland characters, and predictable scenarios.  Kind of like the Millennnium series.

Seriously though, this guy is horrible.  If you don't believe me, go to his IMDB page and check out the thread titles on his board.

Dave please just die and stop writing bad scripts
go die
Inept writing on The Expendables.
David Callaham can blow me.
Somebody needs to stop this guy
Dave Callaham is a big loser
How was his script accepted?

In this intense week I had the time to (re)watch one of my favourite Godzilla flicks, alas the 1991 Godzilla Vs. King Ghidorah. For it all, I still loved it as I did the first time. Despite all of the plot inconveniences of course.... ;D
The opening score is wonderful, it gives me the chills and is sure one of the highlights of the film.
Only thing I didn't like really was one single moment, alas when Godzilla grabs Ghidorah's tail and rams him against the ground. I dunno, other than being obvious it felt a bit forced.

Oh, and I love Ghidorah's design in there. Menacing.

Yep, that's the part I was talking about. Kinda hard to see how he went from Godzilla vs Megalon to this movie :P

I don't see too much of a difference between the two. Besides, the comics will probably create new incarnations of the characters.

"HOLY CRAP THEY'RE GONNA MAKE ANOTHER COMIC!!!AND THIS TIME WITH THE ACTUAL MONSTERS!!!" Was my reaction when I saw that page. ;D Personally I hope they make it less like monster wresling and more like a world repeatedly ravaged by giant monsters. In all seriousness, I hope it's not in the same world as the movies, because then you'd have to be in continuity. THeres no need to do monster backrounds or origins, they should just make there own plot and go with it. My god im so freakin' excited!

Most big title films don't release much info until 5 months or so prior to production, but considering it's a Godzilla title, I expected more.

And, the former was successful. 379 millions worldwide, while not a super uber duper gargantuan success, is still a fantastic gross. If it wasn't for the bad word of mouth, brought by Godzilla fans themselves, It'd have made even more. Let's also not forget that it freshened the popularity of Godzilla in the US and worldwide. :)

GINO was successful in that it made back its budget, but Sony had predicted that it would be the absolute biggest hit of 1998.  Instead it was outgrossed by Armageddon and Saving Private Ryan.  Being number three certainly isn't bad; my guess is that Sony just over-estimated Godzilla's appeal.  As a result, Sony considered it a big disappointment, and people in the company actually lost their jobs over it.

G98 was both a disappointment and a success since it was the 3rd highest grossing movie the year, #1 for two weeks, and made over $300 millon world wide. But it was not the #1 movie of the year as Sony thought it would be, and the movie was a critcal failure.

I hope WB and LP does not make the same mistake, I doubt the new movie will beat The Avengers, Spider-Man, The Dark Knight Rises, Star Trek 2, and Men in Black III at the box office. I hope LPG will make at least over $100 millon world wide.

I'm not worry about the movie bombing at the box office since something like Godzilla can't really bomb in the US, and G2k does not count since the release was limited. If Predators, Star Trek '09, and Batman Begins can still make money at the box office when the last movie before it sucked.

Predators ended up making less than AvPR.

So I watched Godzilla vs. Destroyah and Godzilla vs. Biollante recently and it struck me exactly what mistakes keep being made in Godzilla films.

Both fell into the Alien vs. Predator trap of "give the audience a lot of time to get to know the characters and a bunch of oral exposition when they really came to witness an awesome throwdown". Not that I mind time being given over to characters, and exposition has to happen for the plot to be justified, but the way those movies go about those things is really inefficient.

For instance, vs. Destroyah should open with some visual foreshadowing of Destroyah to hook the audience and create some questions that will be answered later -- rather than answering questions that no-one was asking to begin with. Then you can launch into Godzilla's new condition, but even then it might be better to foreshadow that with the thermal bloom readout that we see later in the film, which would again beg some questions.

The characters tend to be samey in a lot of the films, too. In particular, these three keep showing up:


  • A youngish male professional.
  • A young, attractive woman with familial links to either one of the other characters on this list or a science professional (or both!)
  • An older guy. He's some kind of ace, usually in some branch of science. When he's a family man, he's the father of one of the younger characters. Either way, there's a high chance he's working on or worked on Godzilla-related projects in the past.

The thing about Gojira in terms of characterisation was how personal the characters could make the effects of Godzilla seem. In most movies since, the characters tend to provide exposition and observe Godzilla at a distance to justify the monster throwdowns, but when you have a scientist watching the horrors of nuclear war around him and then creating a worse weapon to undo the effects of the last one, there's a lot of character turmoil there. When the character is Young Hotshot #37 or Cool Old Dude The Fifth, there's much less of a reason to care.

What I'm essentially saying is that characters that have personal investment in Godzilla's actions would be better. And by "personal investment", I'm talking about things that go beyond "I want to avoid becoming kaiju roadkill". You could do heaps of stuff -- what about a paleontologist that wants to protect Godzilla and use him to advance his field of science? Now there's instant clash between the objectives of different protagonists as well as the threat of the big G himself.

tl;dr I want Godzilla films to be more efficient.
Title: Re: Godzilla Remake and other Movie Monster Discussion
Post by: RumorControl on Nov 06, 2010, 05:52:36 PM
Actually the reason why I think Godzilla vs. Biollante is the best Godzilla film is because the human element is so good.  Dr. Shiragami loses his daughter to a terrorist attack that's related to his genetic work, and it sends him over the edge.  He creates a monster that he believes his daughter would have liked- an immortal rose- and it sets the plot in motion.  Colonel Gondo is one of my personal favorites as well, he's just such a smart-ass, especially when he fires the rocket right into Godzilla's face.  And of course Miki Seagusa was a very original and unique character, bringing a lot of emotion to the Heisei serise.

Godzilla vs. Destroyer is definitely blander in terms of characters but I like the film's originality and the way the plot ties into the events of the first film.  The idea of Dr. Serizawa's Oxygen Destroyer turning into a living, breathing, practically unstoppable monster is clever, kind of like his last laugh to the world.  Ultimately Godzilla vs. Destroyer is more monster-centric than human-centric, but as it was supposed to be Godzilla's final film, that's forgivable. 
Title: Re: Godzilla Remake and other Movie Monster Discussion
Post by: brennan4 on Nov 08, 2010, 10:43:03 PM
i think every other film in the heisei series has something special. We've mentioned Godzilla vs. Biollante(1989), v.s. King ghidorah(1991), and V.s Destoroyah(1995). But godzilla 1984, Vs. mothra/the battle for earth(1992), and Godzilla v.s. Spacegodzilla(1994) because they don't add much to the series.

Spoiler
When Godzilla has bombs blown up beneath his feet, and he falls in the volcano with that last scream of pain. I dont think I could watch the movie for a few good years after that scene.

Yeah but some people think it won't do well since most people think of Godzilla from the 1998 movie or the Showa movies.
And, the former was successful. 379 millions worldwide, while not a super uber duper gargantuan success, is still a fantastic gross. If it wasn't for the bad word of mouth, brought by Godzilla fans themselves, It'd have made even more. Let's also not forget that it freshened the popularity of Godzilla in the US and worldwide. :)

G98 made a lot of money due to the Marketing, I'm not sure how well the movie would do if they show Godzilla's design in the TV spots, and trailers.

We don't definitely know. It was still pretty successful and People went seeing it even after the design was fully revealed.
People were interested because it was Godzilla, a lot didn't care for the details fan cared for.

EDIT: They DID show the design before the movie was released.

It seems Godzilla's design is based off several Godzilla designs, and here is another piece of artwork.

Makes you wonder how a lot of Monsters got crappified in the process of making the suits. Striking example - Anguirus.

That is a well made suit. And it preceded Final Wars' by over 36 years.

Doom, I like the concept art properly for this reason... 2004 Anguirus does resemble Anguirus, he just looks he's on drugs or something.

It was never made, it was the original idea before they change it. They did not want to damage the suits, and they change the idea of Godzilla spearing them instend. I always thought Godzilla spear them as sometype of a homage to the Showa series.

Yeah, I'm definitely happy they did that.

I almost consider Final Wars to be a finale to the Showa series (considering that Terror of Mechagodzilla didn't provide much of an ending). Its plot was just as cheesy as some of the Showa films, and provides a big bang of an ending.

Toho wanted to add all of their monsters in FW before they thought it would be easier to have section of monsters instend. Varan, Gaira, Baragon, Gezora,Titanosaurus, Mechagodzilla, Megaguirus, Destoroyah, Gorosaurus, Ganime, and The Giant Octopus where all plan in the movie. Gorosaurs was replace by Zilla, and the others where cut due to budget reasons since those monsters appear in the intro of the movie and the idea was to add them in the movie.

I'm just going from what Keith Aiken told me.

Did anyone else like Gigan's look at the beginning of Final Wars besides me?
Huge improvement over his original self. Everything is more streamlined, and the whole thing feels more menacing.
I still don't like how the feet approach the ground, but w/e. :P

This design is probably one of the few, if not the only redeeming factor of Final Wars.
Shame there wasn't a proper suit execution, but at least it was a good representation of the concept art - unlike the good majority of the critters, Godzilla included.

I love both versions of Gigan. Gigan always been my favorite Godzilla villain, and I wish he was in the Heisei series.

I had always wondered why Gigan was never in the Hensei series.

Maybe Toho did not want to use him. I can see him working if the Return of King Ghidorah movie was made. He would likely look like his Trendmasters Figure desgin.

That's... really good for you I guess. As to why Gigan has those things (buzzsaws, like he hadn't already enough buzzsaws),
Spoiler
in the beginning of the film he's found mummified, and of course, he gets back to lliiiiifffeeeeee. So some guys get to revive Godzilla and they have a fight. Godzilla pwns Gigan by blowing his head off (can't remember the rest). By the climax of the film we have the new Gigan with new uber-buzzsaws on his arms (weird, because I don't remember his hooks being cut or blown off), and despite his new uber-cool weapons, he gets his ass kicked by a Mothra on fire, of course.

They simply hadn't space for everyone.
The first idea included all the monsters Godzilla fought in the past.
Obviously acknowledging the impossibility of it, they shortened the whole thing to a smaller, more manipulable number of characters.

Yeah, it probably wouldn't have worked. Has anyone else noticed that on the scene selection menu for Final Wars? If you pick the chapter for when Zilla and Godzilla, fought its labeled "Pretender to the Throne">

Yeah Zilla in the 1998 movie is still named "Godzilla" due to copy right reasons. The 2005 special edtion of the movie has the FW Zilla logo with the name under "Godzilla". Just like Kiryu is still called "MechaGodzilla".

Godzilla 1998 and Zilla are technically the same monster, just a reimagining, a repurposed version, if you will. It is obvious that Zilla was rushed, and there fore did not look a good as Godzilla 1998, nor did he act the same way, but Godzilla's appearance and behaviors changed throughout the Japanese movies as well. (And keep in mind I really enjoy and appreciate Godzilla 1998)

I can live with that. Kind of like Godzilla 1954 and then Gigantis, who was the Godzilla of the Showa series.

I see that as well. I mean there can't just be one individual Godzilla that spreads through out these movies. Such as the debate at whether the Godzilla in the Millineum series is really Jr. from the Hensei series.

Totally unrelated. There is nothing connecting the two characters besides a superficial similarity.
Let's recap with what I wrote for the FAQ section of Godzilla on the IMDB:

Is the titular creature's name really Godzilla?
Yes. The Monster and the Film are copyright of Toho Co. Ltd., under the name Godzilla. You can easily verify this by checking the back of any product regarding the film, the Blu-Ray release for example.

The film caused a general hatred from the fans of the original series, who conceived various nicknames to refer to the creature. Amongst those there are "Deanzilla" (from the producer of the film, Dean Devlin), "Trizilla" (from the company, Tri Star), "USAzilla" (from the acronym of the United States of America) and G.I.N.O, an acronym for Godzilla In Name Only.

Since the release of Godzilla: Final Wars (2004) there has been a common misinterpretation amongst fans and casual viewers. The film in question features a monster that bears a striking resemblance to the American Godzilla, called Zilla. Director Ryuhei Kitamura recalls this name being so because "the 1998 film took out the God of Godzilla". While at first view it can be assumed that Zilla in fact is the American Godzilla, they are two entirely different characters, for various reasons: 1. Godzilla (1998) is set in a timeline completely separated from the Godzilla franchise's (which is in turn composed by various different timelines altogether); 2. after a close viewing on Zilla's design, it reveals a lot of differences and a general lack of details when compared to the American Godzilla. This is partly caused by the render of the cgi model in film; 3. as stated above, the American Godzilla is still copyrighted as Godzilla even after the release of Godzilla: Final Wars. Ultimately, Zilla is no more than a reference (or a spoof) to the American Godzilla and should not be confused with it.

Not the same Monster, nor the same species, nor anything related. I blame misleading reviews on Youtube for this false information spread so easily through the Internet.
Even without the "copyright" thing you can easily make out they're not related at all.  Godzilla 1998 is set in a timeline that has never met a giant monster before. Everything is fine until Godzilla's appearence in New York. In Godzilla 1998, Godzilla gets named after a legendary sea monster, Gojira - there is no mention of another Godzilla. The American Godzilla was also an unique event. It started a species. The Madison Square Garden Batch was the only source for new Godzilla specimens. Only one of them survived. It would have grown into the adult counterpart, not Zilla, that is considerably different.

The Blu-Ray cover does use the FW Zilla logo with "Godzilla" under the monster logo though. Zilla in FW was model after the 1998 monster, and his role was ment for Gorosaurus before they change it.

The back cover of my Godzilla Blu-Ray and everything I posted would... tell otherwise. ;)

How is that possible? Zilla and GINO look nearly the same. How can they not be the same species?
Did you read the post...? They are in different universes, there are plenty of design differences, there are different coyprights.

Still not much difference. I just can't accept that logic.

Well not to mention "Grand King Ghidorah" in the 3rd Rebirth Mothra movie is still copy right under the name of "King Ghidorah". Fans give the 1998 monster a nick name under "Zilla 98" since its something that most fans do.

There wasn't any copyright change in first place, and that is precisely what sets them apart, fans liking this or not. Call the American Godzilla GINO, Raptorzilla or however you want, but calling him Zilla makes as much sense as calling him Predator.

ZIlla could've become the giant lizard through similar circumstances, it's look clearly shows that it is the same damn creature. It was intended to be the same creature, despite a few minor differences. Zilla was clearly and obviously supposed to be the american version, and that's what we got, it doesn't matter if it had totally different origins and what not, it's obviously the american design of Godzilla, it's staring you in the face, what more can I say?

The inverse is illogical. They're copyrighted differently, end of the argument. There's no more, they are not related by any means. Toho has them separated. The Godzilla Blu-Ray I have in my hand right now doesn't make mention of Zilla nor of Godzilla Final Wars. It just says that GODZILLA is copyrighted by Toho.
The fact that some guy on the Internet said "Toho offically renamed the Monster Zilla" means as much as my nosehair. AVGN got his facts wrong.

You are difficult to argue with. I rather enjoy this debate. I'm not talking about the damn copyright. I'm talking about how GINO and Zilla are part of a species. Better yet, how about a genus?

That's just supposed to be a joke, Zilla on the other hand was not, and the film he was in wasn't supposed to be a huge joke either. But if you want someone to say that maybe that alien was part of the same species, I guess you can say that it was, because in this universe (Mel Brooks) it's probably the same creature, only difference is that it has legs, hands, and can sing.

Well the millennium series, much like all the different series, were different timelines. Each new series that I'm aware of, started off with the first film in the series to be the sequel to the original Godzilla film. So basically, each series is its own universe.

Godzilla is an americanized transliteration of Gojira. Gojira is a contraction of the words Gorilla and Kujira (japanese for Whale). There is no intended "God" in Godzilla.

I actually liked its giant lower jaw. Makes sense since it'd be really strong for biting and chewing.
The filmmakers wanted a Dragon in first place, so I guess a noticeable chin is a good thing to start off with. Tatopoulos wanted to give the design and imposing and respect-inspiring feel.
This peculiarity only makes the whole critter more badass. 8)

The makers of Godzilla wanted not a Dinosaur, but a Dragon (precise words) with a few winks to Reality.
No guidelines have been broken as far as I am concerned.

They got a lizard with a chin like Jay Leno.

old. Boring. Bring something new. It's a complain for the sake of a complain. It's a design choice, don't overlook on it. WHy does he need a chin like that? Why does the Alien need a dickhead? Same principle.
The chin was actually inspired by Shere Kan of The Jungle Book by the way, and the lower jaw structure was designed after that of a Sailfin Dragon (which the author of TMOG erroneously calls "Selfin Dragon").

They're both very popular among the sci-fi kingdom. Could hazard that if you show an Alien and then show a Godzilla, it's more likely one recognizes the former over the latter.

Title: Re: Godzilla Remake and other Movie Monster Discussion

Hm, that's debatable. Godzilla came first so I'd wager popularity is on his side versus the Alien.
Title: Re: Godzilla Remake and other Movie Monster Discussion
Post by: OmegaZilla on Jan 03, 2011, 03:42:51 PM
The Beast from 20.000 Fathoms came one year earlier than THEM!, yet the latter is more widely known. "First=more popular" is no point.
Perhaps another reason for which the Alien Prequel has more info is that the people around it are taking the project seriously...
Title: Re: Godzilla Remake and other Movie Monster Discussion
Post by: DoomRulz on Jan 03, 2011, 04:14:59 PM
Beat from 20.000 Fathoms isn't exactly a time-honoured movie like Godzilla. And when you're comparing something with a name like "Rhedosaurus" vs. giant insects, people tend to remember which ever creature has an easier name to pronounce. There's a reason why people don't talk about Cloverfield much these days.

Maybe because Fox is moving the project much more quicky then WB is with Godzilla. I'm pretty sure LPG will do better at the box office then the Alien Prequel since Godzilla has a bigger fan base, and is a bigger icon. G98 made more money then A:R did afterall which came out nearly a year before.

Bkay. District 9 came earlier than AVATAR, both got a lot of talking and stuff, yet the latter is more popular. Or Terminator and Jurassic Park. Same reasoning... just making examples. Earlier is not always equal to more popular.

Depends if the actual film is liked by the masses and if it is liked by the fans. Legendary cleverly involves all this around making it a fans-I-give-you-coolstuffgodzillalololol-you-don't-bitch in order for it to not suffer the same fate as Godzilla 98 (not making what expected)

If by mainstream you mean more publicized, no point... a more publicized film doesn't authomatically become more popular. See Cloverfield and Iron Man. Which was more publicized and which is still the more popular.
Title: Re: Godzilla Remake and other Movie Monster Discussion
Post by: MrBrokenTusks. on Jan 03, 2011, 08:29:04 PM
No not really.

Avatar mainstream. District 9 not so much


The general public always seem to like the same thing. Every random person I know, will most likely 9 times out of 10 have seen or heard of avatar. Only a handful will have heard and seen district 9


It may not mean anything in this situation cause they are both pretty similar in terms of how current they are on the general publics radar. So I doubt that's the reason one is getting more info than the other.

But it could be that godzilla has less of a die hard fanbase to find all these articles and rumours.

Title: Re: Godzilla Remake and other Movie Monster Discussion
Post by: MrBrokenTusks. on Jan 03, 2011, 08:36:05 PM
Mainstream is, generally, the common current thought of the majority. However, the mainstream is far from cohesive; rather the concept is often considered a cultural construct. It is a term most often applied in the art (i.e., music, literature, and film). This includes:
something that is available to the general public;
something that has ties to corporate or commercial entities.



Mainstream films can best be defined as commercial films that have a wide release and play in first run theatres (A movie theater that runs primarily mainstream film fare from the major film companies and distributors, during the initial release period of each film). Being sold at popular stores, or more typically, at general stores can also be an indicator. Hollywood movies are usually considered mainstream and blockbusters are also mainstream films. The boundary is vague. Mainstream suggests middle-of-the-road and implies commercial viability, sometimes implying that the commercial viability is tantamount to a loss of artistic creativity. The opposite of mainstream film may be experimental film, art film or cult film.

Which is by definition avatar :P Easily the best example for mainstream, but yeah I doubt either alien or godzilla have any real difference in that regard.
Title: Re: Godzilla Remake and other Movie Monster Discussion
Post by: OmegaZilla on Jan 03, 2011, 08:39:32 PM
Bah, both AVATAR and District 9 had a good "mainstream" overall... I've seen a lot of District 9 publicity viral thing (I adore those things... I have one in my room) and a lot of people were talking about District 9 on the time of the release.
My point though, goes beyond this example. A thing that came earlier isn't necessarily more popular than a thing that came after. Another example, Terminator and Jurassic Park. Which came earlier? Terminator. Which has a bigger fanbase? Jurassic Park, of course.
Title: Re: Godzilla Remake and other Movie Monster Discussion
Post by: MrBrokenTusks. on Jan 03, 2011, 08:47:01 PM
Actually I would say it's pretty even in that example. Only a few thousand in it. Yeah sure on this site maybe jurassic park wins overall.


I get your point and it makes sense but that isn't the best of examples.
Title: Re: Godzilla Remake and other Movie Monster Discussion
Post by: OmegaZilla on Jan 03, 2011, 08:48:54 PM
There are countless examples. Jurassic Park and Terminator is actually true though, Undoubtely Jurassic Park is more well known than Terminator. If you go around and ask what is Jurassic Park/Terminator, it's more like you will receive more positive responses for the former.

Read last statement.

Nolan had never directed a blockbuster before Batman Begins. If Monsters is a good movie, then I'm glad they are choosing a good director over an obvious one.

The BS had never directed a film before AVPR, they are not comparable.

It shouldn't be hard to make a good Godzilla movie. Likable characters + massive destruction = Satisfaction. It's all the Godzilla movies were anyways. Tristar failed because it lacked either of those. If this version gets both those right, I certainly wouldn't have much to complain about. And if it happens to be more then that, then awesome. My point is the bar isn't very high because Godzilla movies are stupid fun. It needs to be like the new Star Trek, half winking at itself with admiration for its source.

I really like that they used a part of one of the posters for Godzilla, but other than that I'm not really hyped/excited for this. Haven't seen Monsters, either.
I thought you were a fan of all Godzilla related things.
I know he doesn't like some of the Showa films.

Doom, do yourself a favor and don't watch it. Otherwise you will find yourself forced to love it like I do. The more I think about how terrible the movie is, the more I love it.

I like a lot of the old ones just for the so bad that they are good fight scenes and stories (Like Godzlla vs Gigan, where space cockroaches try to invade Earth, or Godzilla vs Megalon, which featured a size shifting robot :P )

But Godzilla's Revenge is probably not just the worst Godzilla movie, but the worst movie I have ever seen. And I think that is why I love it so much. You know, maybe I would recommend it :)

This is the one movie where I approve of the terrible use of stock footage,

since it is all the kid's dream. Maybe he's dreaming of Godzilla movies that he watched in the past, since Godzilla isn't even real in the movie :P

Statement... denied.
With Godzilla, and especially when a fan/fans is behind it... you have to flip a coin. I am just waiting for a trailer, then for the final product.

There are some classic 50-70s classic films with their fair amount of proper cheese, Destroy All Monsters, Terror of MechaGodzilla, Godzilla Raids Again... they are cool little films. the rest is just trash films you don't enjoy on a normal scale but on trash scale (and I am a massive B-Movie enthusiast). There's a limit though, to the trash scale. Especially considering that the saga actually started with a film like Gojira. You guys already mentioned the collage that is Godzilla's Revenge, and also Godzilla Vs. Megalon... which is the real pinnacle up there.

Gareth Edwards is writing something with him. But definitely not Godzilla. Hell, Legendary Pictures probably has a nearly finished script by now.

Before they sign to direct the movie back in 1996, the project was pretty much dead since Jan de Bont left the project in late 1994 because Sony did not let him do what they want with the project. They knew the project was up for grabs and thought they will make a big load of money off of it.

While the movie did not break any box office records, the movie was a box office hit with it being the 3rd highest grossing movie of 1998. Toho themself where happy with the box office results since they left Devlin and Emmerich do what they want and knew what to expect. They made a ton of money from licensing the character afterall.

Final Wars seemed to focus too much on the characters and not enough on the monsters.  Godzilla is known more for monster on monster action, not CGI human fighting.

I felt it was too derivative and since there were so many monsters, none got enough screen time. Also, the sets were shoddy sometimes and the script had serious flaws, even for a normal godzilla movie.

In Final Wars, I felt that the fight between Godzilla 2000 and Godzilla 1998 (American version, aka Zilla) should have been longer and Zilla not completely be constructed out of CGI.

The only thing that really bothered me is that they tried to cram too many fights into such a short movie. Plus WTF is up with Ghidorah's design?! Monster X was cool enough we didn't need a lame looking Ghidorah.

Untrue. Computer Graphics was only part of what was used to bring the creature to life. Tatopoulos Studios built a 1:6 scale articulated Animatronic from head to shoulders, that could move everything by remote controlling except for the fingers (which were only poseable manually). You see the 1:6 animatronic mainly in close-ups, such as shots of the eyes (all of them) and the head. It was also used when Godzilla catches the Taxi Cab in his jaws.

So that's where they got the name for Nick. :D

Just the first two. Haven't had the chance to play the third game.

Unleashed was my favorite.

I loved that the Wii version of Unleashed gave you so many monsters.  I felt they should have gave it more cities to fight in, tho. :(  My brother hates the game because of its physics and controls and loves to quote what GameSpot said of the game:

QuoteUnleashed is the worst thing to happen to Godzilla since getting killed by Mothra's babies.

Hey, Mothra's babies were awesome! And they didn't kill Godzilla, only defeated them :P

Well, I loved Unleashed and Mothra's babies do sound awesome.  Since my brother hates the game, I have no one else to play with. :(

I love the quote from Gamespot as well, the "Mothra vs. Godzilla" reference was cool. GU was okay but I hated the controls for the game and the whole level set up that the game had.
Title: Re: Godzilla Remake and other Movie Monster Discussion
Post by: predxeno on Jan 30, 2011, 07:07:34 PM
I have a lot of patience for video games, maybe that's why I don't get frustrated with the controls as much as my brother does; that's the primary reason he hates the game.  He keeps confusing grab with jump, I managed to stay patient and master the controls. ;D
Title: Re: Godzilla Remake and other Movie Monster Discussion
Post by: OmegaZilla on Jan 30, 2011, 07:30:27 PM
I have the Wii version of Unleashed and it kicks ass. Once you get used to the controls, it's easy to use and rather dynamic.
My favourites are, in order, Biollante, Orga and Megaguirus.

The 98 Godzilla has always been CGI.
Untrue. Computer Graphics was only part of what was used to bring the creature to life. Tatopoulos Studios built a 1:6 scale articulated Animatronic from head to shoulders, that could move everything by remote controlling except for the fingers (which were only poseable manually). You see the 1:6 animatronic mainly in close-ups, such as shots of the eyes (all of them) and the head. It was also used when Godzilla catches the Taxi Cab in his jaws.

The Crew also built a 1:24 scale Godzilla suit that was used in some "practical" scenes, such as when the monster had to smash through something.

All of them make up at least 40% of the shots. I love how Kitamura was all-kinds of clueless while making his half-assed parody. :D

What I would do to have a model like the one in the first 4 pics in my front lawn and a suit like that to scare the crap out of people :'(

On the topic of monsters its Godzilla 2000, Ghidorah, Kiryu/Mechagodzilla 3, and Destoroyah (always forget how to spell the bastards name.), and Godzilla 1954, gotta love the classic :D

Exclusive Interview with Gareth Edwards

QuoteSo, I don't know how much you can say about it, So I'll just say Godzilla.

Yeah, I can't such much really. I am attached to direct it and it's a development deal.

It's still currently being written?

It's very early days is what I'll say. I won't be writing it though.

Are you excited about that? For a fan of Science Fiction and B-Movies, it's the classic B-Movie.

Yeah, it's like, and here's another bad analogy, Monsters was like never being allowed to play professional football and so I started my own football team playing at the bottom of the division, then at the end of the season someone calls you and says "Do you wanna play for Brazil in the world cup final?" and you're like, how do you say no to that. It doesn't mean you're gonna win, but it's something you can't turn down. How can you not pursue that? It's so important to get that film right, so important and everyone involved knows how important it is and they all know how everyone feels about Godzilla and it's got to be spot on

http://networkedblogs.com/dC88V (http://networkedblogs.com/dC88V)

Nothing much but it's better then nothing. Talks about the movie for a little bit.

Some info from the director.

http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/bleedthefreak/news/?a=29259 (http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/bleedthefreak/news/?a=29259)

"I'm a big fan,"Edwards tells Shock, palpably choosing his words wisely when it comes to talking about his latest endeavor. "I guess I will say I'm highly aware - and everyone involved is incredibly aware - of everyone's opinions on what this film has to do and what it has to be. And no one will do anything but the right thing. Without addressing anything specific, everyone knows how important is to get it right."

Edwards also talked about how he got acquainted with the franchise:

"My earliest memories was channel 4, they showed them every Friday night. As a kid I wasn't quite sure about the dubbing, the English-dubbed versions. They threw me for a bit. I love science fiction and, well I call them B movies but they're not, but I love '60s and '70s sci-fi. But these would come on and be dubbed and it would take my kid brain to adjust to the dubbing. It took me some time to get through that."

Roland Emmerich wasn't a fan by a long shot. He said it himself. He only did it because he could do whatever he wanted with the creature. I once read a whole article about it. If i can find it back i will post it here in the forum  ;) none the less i pretty much liked the american Godzilla movie. Purely as a no brainer action flick.

but had they gone farther, they wouldn't have been able to justify the use of the name. i don't want to argue with you when we're on the same side, which is Godzilla 98 is a good movie, and a good attempt at a reimagining.

i really think Emmerich should move away from Distaster movies and back to proper action sci fi, but i look on IMDB and his next movie is a bloody period costume drama!!? it might be good, we'll have to see, but yeah, he should totally make another proper sci-fi.

He ran away from the Jeeps and the choppers initially. Toho Godzilla wouldn't run, period. And if you're seriously going to say running after the taxi is an indication of him not running away from a fight...then I really don't know what to tell you.

After running in the opposite direction like a scared rabbit. And might I point out he spent more time doing that.

That's because he wasn't Godzilla. The real one would have taken a shit on the army. I liked the movie but hate the fact it has Godzilla slapped on it.

Yeah, there's that too.

Yep... to turn around and roast the formers, and lead the latters into a trap. That's totally something running from attacks like a scared rabbit, uh? ;) If it really wanted to run away, it wouldn't run in the direction of gunfire, not once but twice. There were at least a pair of roads right next to him when they fired at him in the first fish trap, why he didn't take the one at his right? Or left? He's definitely not your common critter intelligence-wise. He's pretty smart.

Because it couldn't. We never see him run because its body is not built to run. Or, at least, the original original, because in at least a pair of films it can somehow sprint (?).

And again, the original Godzilla, the real Godzilla, did none of that. He just said basically, f**k you, and laid waste. Didn't waste time.

Not arguing that the original Godzilla didn't apply the same... 'strategy'. My point is - 1998 Godzilla ain't no 'running off because it was scared'.

Quote from: DoomRulz on Feb 10, 2011, 10:04:51 PM

Because that wasn't his strategy. He didn't ambush, or fake a run and turn around, or anything else.

Since when does something like Godzilla need a strategy? If it's the military he's fighting, the "strategy" is simple: crush and burn. If he's fighting a monster, depending on the circumstances, yeah a strategy might help but in most cases he did the same thing: radioactive breath blast then smash.

It's more or less what the 1998 Godzilla did, too. In different ways and approaches, but still - It spent most of the time crushing on things anyway. He was more of a 'fang 'n claw' type of Monster.

It stomped on the tanks, and roared while lowering its head. It wanted to scare the lil' things off. While it was doing stompin', Jeeps began to follow him. He turned around and roasted them in less than... 20 seconds? Maybe? Then he ran before the helicopters, lured them into a trap, faked a cry when they started shooting in the half-destroyed building, and ambushed them from behind. It was a trap (Admiral Ackbar should've been there, dammit! :o :D) It's clear that wasn't just 'running way'. :P

If there's a swarm coming after you, you'd better run because they're going to attack your body and in some cases, crawl up your nose and in your ears. It's happened.

You assume he was luring them into a trap the entire time. I always assumed he was running away from the choppers, then at some point decided to do the whole trap bit.

Remember, he/she/it was pregnant, by nature it would want to escape from harm, not fight. However, after a while it had no choice.

Oh, it can go either way. :) But it seems to be his 'thing'. Seeing that it wasn't really the fact that 'it was scared like a rabbit' the reason for which it was running, I'd say it always wanted to bait them, to find a way to wipe them out. Stomping on the tanks was easy, the choppers though were stealthier. It even needed to go peekaboo a second time to get the third chopper. If he just turned around like he did with the jeeps, it would be easier for the choppers to avoid him; it simply waited for the right moment, preceded them a bit to make them lose visual contact, built up his cool trap in a few seconds (assuming he didn't go through that building before, but we'll never know), stood there behind the building, faked a cry when they started firing, and then went peekaboo over them.  Seems like a hunting (or counter-attack, more like) tactic. Uses it again with the Taxi later in the film! ;D 8)

True, but a lot of animals do not only run from harm while they're nesting, but if there's a threat for their offspring, the quicker it's gone, the better. Tanks and choppers probably were, in the creature's mind, a threat for the nest. If it really wanted to 'escape from harm', everything that I've said about 'if it really wanted to run off scared' applies. :P

He's not Gamera, he can kill Children. He also killed an old woman and a man trying to help her by stepping on them. Also the nuke doesn't even affect Goji (although that might be what they're bitching about) and in fact gives him his atomic breath.

Godzilla killed a mother and child in the original cut of Gojira, so they shouldn't be complaining.

Aren't they the ones seen later in the hospital giving off readings on a Geiger counter? I thought the point was left slightly ambiguous, but it's been too long.

Oh look, there's a 100 metres tall tank Dinosaur monster stomping cars around a city. I guess 'oh, poor city, and poor us!' would be a better reaction.
With all sincerity, this is one of the lamest criticisms I've ever read on Godzilla-related media. Ever.

I don't mind killing children or women as long as there's a meaning or a plot point. Otherwise, it's just killing children and women onscreen for the sake of killing children and women onscreen. You can kill them without showing it, you know.

So, such thing influences on my judgement. Does the killing of the pregnant/giving birth woman in The Island irk me? No, because it has a meaning and is a damn important plot point. Does it in AvPR? Yes, because it's done just for the sake of it. Disagree? Fine and dandy. I'm not moving from there.

[Waiting for some dude to go for the usual and lame 'hey, at least it's less Crocodile-like than GINO LOLOLOL']

I've always liked Stan Winston's Godzilla design a lot. It's like a slimmed down Heisei Godzilla with a different skin texture and color scheme. It's realistically impossible, but I'd love to see that design in the Legendary Pictures Godzilla.

I don't really think the green is a problem. Makes the thing moderately eye-catching without excessing, and also mimicks the color scheme of a lot of Reptiles.

If it had a better quality, a more monstrous eye, and a better tagline I would've liked it a bit more even if it was fake. Keep the red cause if this film is a remake of the '54 (with maybe an extra monster) flick then I expect a dark and morbid tone.

ajm dont worry im accustomed in this case to wait  :-\
thanks dude

I want this movie more than a new alien, predator, or avp movie since I have been a fan of Godzilla since i could walk.  I pray to god that they give us a movie that we will all love and not like the crap we got in 1998.

Love this design. If it looks anything like that in the movie, I'm sold.

I just hope it's not a man in a suit (like Harry Knowles from AICN would've wished..  ::)). I mean, it was good in the old times, but today, CGI is the way to go.

Post by: Cap. Fitzgerald on Jul 19, 2011, 08:23:14 AM

*facepalms*
You act like a suit must automatically be goofy and clunky moving. The Alien and the Predator were men in suits and they werent goofy looking and in fact had more separate moving parts and parts sticking out than Godzilla.
Plus CGI is not the way to go dude, seriously it's Godzilla. It's campy. It makes no sense. And it's good fun.
Title: Re: Godzilla Remake and other Movie Monster Discussion
Post by: Pux Almighty on Jul 19, 2011, 08:32:10 AM
Yeah right.. I guess the dinosaurs in JP would have been way more realistic if guys in suits were used, too.

I want my Godzilla to move as realistic and natural as possible, like a real giant reptile would, not like some stuntmen in suits. Sorry, but CGI is the future. I'd wager my balls there isn't going to be a suited-up xeno in Prometheus.

As for predators, sure it didn't look goofy because a predator is humanoid, so it's not hard to simulate it's movement for a man. Same goes for aliens, sure, they're a bit harder to do, but look at the movies - there isn't a single scene where you can see the xenos up close in upright posture while moving for longer than a second. Sans the queen battle, which again, wasn't a man in a suit.

Animatronics - sure, use them for close-ups.
CGI - use for dynamic and lengthy full-body shots.
Man in suit - no need for it, unless you're doing a low-budget SyFy flick or when the monster you're using is humanoid. Which this movie clearly isn't.

The way the american Godzilla did it is the best if you ask me - Mixture of CGI, animatronics and a man in a suit. Perfect result.
I believe it's been confirmed already that the Legendary Godzilla will use a load of CGI though, it's the animatronics (that including guy in suit) that still have to be confirmed.
And let's be brutally real. If, in this film, they make Godzilla on-par with what we've had in the Japanese films so far, the audience is never gonna buy it, let's be honest. If, however, this hypothetical suit is more cured and made more convincing onscreen, like the 1998 Godzilla, Sammael from the first HellBoy film, the Lycantropes in the Underworld series, and a load more, there's plenty of a possibility that they will use it as well. But don't expect something like the Japanese stuff.
Regarding the Jurassic Park Dinosaurs though, actors in suits indeed were used for some shots of the Raptors. ;D

As do I, but with the design they went with in G1998, the suit wasn't exactly an option for a lot of the film. At least, not for the scenes with the monster's full body shown.

But I also prefer the classic Godzilla. suits and all.

That looks awesome enough to keep my wife out of the man cave. Sadly ... it's not the one.

This is the one I have ... it's about a foot tall. Maybe a little less. Comes with a destroyed city, rubble base + Biollante tendril.

Took the right inspiration from Kaiyodo and made them super-articulated. Series includes Godzilla, Burning Godzilla, MechaGodzilla Heisei and Moguera Heisei.

That Biollante figure is very nice too! I was suggesting the figure you posted to 'complete' your diorama (I believe Godzilla is removable).

Haha, decidedly. Takes a lot of liberties.
I'm still crossing fingers for Kaiyodo to release a Revoltech Biollante.

Speaking of those, BANDAI has released some pretty bitchin' Godzilla stuff lately.
http://ga.sbcr.jp/mreport/016684/images/01.jpg
Took the right inspiration from Kaiyodo and made them super-articulated. Series includes Godzilla, Burning Godzilla, MechaGodzilla Heisei and Moguera Heisei.

Yeah I saw that in my search ... and it's affordable. Kinda reminiscent of that articulated  Revoltech T-Rex we were all looking/complaining about ... with the neck hump. Except this looks much better ... joints are decently hidden.

Predxeno ... do you have the 'Trendmasters' Biollante? I do ... it's shameful lol.

I don't know the maker of my Biollante figure, all I have is that pic.  It does come witha card, though.  Can you see my pic, btw?  It isn't showing up on my screen anymore for some reason.

Niiice. That would work. Who's doing the CGI on this film anyway?

The Beast from 20.000 Fathoms ... it's what was really remade back in 1996 when they said they re-made Godzilla the first time.  :D

At least I can laugh about it now.

Ray Harryhausen is still alive today, He reached 90 years of awesome recently, too.
The Visual Effects company for the Legendaryzilla hasn't been revealed yet, but I'm guessing the same from the Batman films, Double Negative and Framestore (who also made the Visual Effects for Underworld).

I'd like a city destroying game ... Godzilla world tour ... or something like that. Destroy cities and fight the military. Fight boss monsters. I'd love the option of multiple camera angles being able to control a giant monster demolishing buildings and bringing down helicopters and tanks. With the debris physics games are capable of now it should be quite satisfying.

Here are some screen caps (I believe) from the set.

The first two in the Trilogy were already available on Blu Ray as a double disk for extermely cheap. They are now offering them all together in a box set for around $20. Or if you already bought the other two, Gamera 3 will be available for $10. Pretty cool. They were some awesome movies.

I haven't seen those. I loved GMK, and know that they are directed by the same guy. Are they comparable in quality?

Yes. I'd even say the Gamera films edge out GMK in terms of tone, cinematography, and story. A lot of the mystical origins ideas seemed recycled from the Gamera trilogy and inserted into GMK and felt almost rehashed and unoriginal.

The opening monster battle of Gamera 3 is one of my favorite monster movie fights. Full of great special effects and mixes fun, brutal monster action with the horror of human loss and collateral damage. So great.

Gamera himself also evolves over the course of the films. By the 3rd film he's just an evil looking beast.

I'll surely import this boxset, I just knew I was doing the right thing when I decided to not import the previous double-feature. ;D

Yup. I'd say that comes from the fact it's the same director.

I always assumed you were in North America. But since your importing them, I have to assume now that you are not. Or I have to assume that you aren't aware that this is a North America release. Either that, or you don't know where you live. But more likely, it is I that is the more confused. lol  ???

Yes. I was excited that he would have a crack at a new Godzilla film ... and as the pictures leaked out of Japan of that awesome dead-white eyed Godzilla I really had my hopes sky high. I was let down by the final result. I think they rushed him. Toho has always had a 1 year turn around on their Godzilla films and the Gamera films had considerably longer to gestate.

No, I don't live in North America, that's why I'm importing it. It's very unlikely to get a release of that boxset around here. We didn't get the DvD versions of the Gamera trilogy nor anything of the Godzilla franchise past Godzilla Vs. Mothra, besides the remake.

I liked GMK personally, would have to rewatch it, but it was very enjoyable. It was interesting to see Godzilla and Ghidorah in 'reversed' roles, for once. Kaneko did take a lot of 'DnA' from his Gamera films, not only the obvious 'guardian monster(s)' thing, but also small things, the photography is similar, there are a lot of shots from ground view (or anyway beneath the monster) if I remember correctly, and there's also this showing people flying away when the Monster(s) unleash a ray he seems to be in love with, and is surely effective. I quite like it, it's like his signature.

I didn't think there was a place on earth where you couldn't get these types of things. I can just image you and your friends having to reenact scenes from your favorite semi-obscure films. (Like Bale and Butler's Empire play for the kids in Reign if Fire)

Don't get me wrong. There isn't a Godzilla film that I dislike outright ... (except maybe Godzilla's Revenge with dorky talking minya and crime busting chubby Japanese boy in little white shorts) ... but I thought GMK had magnificent 'shots' and really great 'sequences' ... just fell short on the story/pacing. The monster battles weren't staged/photographed as brutal/realistic as the Gamera battles were ... another short coming that I attribute to Toho's mad rush to get the film out into theaters by their typical December release date.

I was glad to see Baragon get some love for a change. (And to be performed/puppeted by a woman - A first for Toho I think in the largely male dominated history of suitmation - also cool)

You're right about the signature 'people debris' of the rays blasts. Great touches. Has he done any monster films since GMK? I haven't kept track of the man.

Here are some screen caps (I believe) from the set.

(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi1208.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fcc377%2FBatChainPuller%2Fgamera3pic77.jpg&hash=67be91c63d64faa3601e2f8700f88e4b59ec878e)

The first two in the Trilogy were already available on Blu Ray as a double disk for extermely cheap. They are now offering them all together in a box set for around $20. Or if you already bought the other two, Gamera 3 will be available for $10. Pretty cool. They were some awesome movies.

Oh my god, yes.
I am so ready.

And those definitely look like blu-ray quality screen caps.

He's done the first two Death note flicks, which I haven't seen, but no giant monster stuff. I'd certainly like to see more Gamera films of his however. :)

The Pros

1. Good lead up to the reveal. (But mostly ques from dozens of other monster films so no points of originality)

2. Great giant monster effects (for the time) but lots of cheating by always putting the creature in the rain.

3. Broderick's character was likable. I kept expecting him to turn to the camera and address the ridiculousness of the movie. Overall you feel empathetic for him as a character (because no body listens to him and treats him like shit) and as an actor (because you almost become aware that Broderick knows the score and seems a little embarrassed.)

4. A handful of cool 'shots' and a fun sequence, or two at best. The taxi chase (in all of it's stupidity) was great fun to watch. "We're in his mouth! We're IN - HIS - MOUTH!" (unfortunately the only humorous line of the film)

The Cons

1. Unfaithful Godzilla design. Godzilla is reduced to being an Iguana with aspirations of Raptor-dom. Lazy and derivative.

2. Unfaithful Godzilla character. An unstoppable force of nature is reduced to being just an overgrown animal trying to nest. His nuclear origins are changed pointlessly from being Japanese to French. (??) Thus neutering the whole point of Godzilla in the first place: A metaphor for the horrors of Nuclear War brought on by the Hiroshima bombing.

3. Shitty f**king Dialogue. Juvenile. Cliche. Weak. Cringe inducing attempts at humor. Pointless exchanges. There was a REASON that Matthew Broderick was the biggest star power this film could muster. The script/screenplay/concept was a top to bottom, through and through failure.

4. Shitty f**king Characters. Stereotypical. Undefined. Annoying to the point of breaking the film. Broderick's character's ex-girlfriend was an unlikable, bratty tart who lies, cheats, and steals to get what she wants. And the script would have you believe that she is right and being so. She even f**ks over Broderick's character after reconciling with him (to just get closer to the story as a wannabe reporter) and then the script expects that we should agree when he accepts her again at the end. There are a handful of stereotypical nerdy scientists and stern military types. And most annoyingly, a mysterious group of individuals who listen in on the action from vans with high tech surveillance equipment who's true identity turns out to be the biggest "Who Cares" reveal in movie history.

5. Plot. Godzilla swims to New York and accidentally smushes a few cars and scraps into a building or two. He then HIDES and no one can find him. They lure him out with a big pile of fish ... I f**king kid you not ... a big pile of FISH. And ... it works! He comes out ... but the military fails to kill Godzilla ... not because he's an unstoppable GOD-LIKE deity from ancient times ... but because ... he runs away ... really fast. And hides again. We find out Godzilla is pregnant with eggs and is only here to next. The fish idea was so nice they try it twice and it works ... again ... but this time they 'kill Godzilla' with a couple torpedoes. Then baby Godzillas hatch and gather at Madison Square Garden like the Gremlins in Gremlins 2 the new batch but a few jets blow up the Garden and kill the army of raptor-like baby zillas. Godzilla comes back (??) and chases our heroes around until the jets nail him with a few missiles and mercifully end the film.

In Conclusion
A serviceable 'monster on the loose' movie. Mis-marketed and falsely labeled as a "Godzilla film" for economical benefit. As a fan of giant monster films it was a corny, half assed attempt at copying better films. As a fan of Godzilla it was a shameful cash grab for Tri-Star and an embarrassing set back for Toho's classic monster franchise.

hwta he's saying is that Toho considers the creature in th 98 film to be Godzilla. The one in GFW is a seperate creature known as Zilla. I love the 98 film, I really do but it is a VERY FLAWED film.

Making the Creature looking wet is as difficult as making it look dry, if not all the more tricky. So no, it's not cheating.

Certainly! Things such as the AVGN review (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l_ufBleUNos#) (go to 6:02) contributed to spread the (false, as you can see) belief that the 1998 Godzilla was now officially copyrighted 'Zilla' and that it was officially renamed so. If you check up a bit in forums, on youtube, etc. in threads (or comments for a video on the subject), you'll as well find statements that believe the two monsters are the same damned thing, calling one with the other's name, sometimes saying they're not the same entity, but are of the same species, and some other 'theories' trying to fit them together. I've had a discussion about that around here, as well, if memory serves.
Those 'icons' Toho uses for their DvDs definitely kill the opposite argument, seeing that the copyrights written on the back of the Blu-Ray didn't seem to be effective enough (for some reason obscure to my knowledge).

There are a handful of stereotypical nerdy scientists and stern military types. And most annoyingly, a mysterious group of individuals who listen in on the action from vans with high tech surveillance equipment who's true identity turns out to be the biggest "Who Cares" reveal in movie history.

5. Plot. Godzilla swims to New York and accidentally smushes a few cars and scraps into a building or two. He then HIDES and no one can find him. They lure him out with a big pile of fish ... I f**king kid you not ... a big pile of FISH. And ... it works! He comes out ... but the military fails to kill Godzilla ... not because he's an unstoppable GOD-LIKE deity from ancient times ... but because ... he runs away ... really fast. And hides again. We find out Godzilla is pregnant with eggs and is only here to next. The fish idea was so nice they try it twice and it works ... again ... but this time they 'kill Godzilla' with a couple torpedoes. Then baby Godzillas hatch and gather at Madison Square Garden like the Gremlins in Gremlins 2 the new batch but a few jets blow up the Garden and kill the army of raptor-like baby zillas. Godzilla comes back (??) and chases our heroes around until the jets nail him with a few missiles and mercifully end the film.

In Conclusion
A serviceable 'monster on the loose' movie. Mis-marketed and falsely labeled as a "Godzilla film" for economical benefit. As a fan of giant monster films it was a corny, half assed attempt at copying better films. As a fan of Godzilla it was a shameful cash grab for Tri-Star and an embarrassing set back for Toho's classic monster franchise.

I love it. Its a real guilty pleasure of mine. Ive never seen any of the original films and I have no desire to so I havnt got those in my mind when I watch it.

One thing thats always bugged me about it is how Godzilla seemingly alters in size dramatically several times. So its huge, but not original Zilla huge. When its hiding underground theres a scene where some soldiers come to a dead end at a blocked tunnel. It turns out the tunnel wasnt blocked and Zilla had its eye against the tunnel. What looked like a dead end was its eyelid and then its eye opens and its f**king huge. Its the size of the tunnel entrance some 20-30 feet across.

Then when you see its full head close up next to characters (such as the end when its defeated) its eye is only the size of a basketball. Thats some difference you got there.

Every movie does that. Even Jurassic Park had that problem. The T.Rex looked like a colossus when she first broke out of her paddock yet when you see her chase the Gallimimus and attack the raptors at the end she's half that initial size.

The flick is watchable. I even own it on DVD and would have it on Blu if I could find it for like $3. So all this belly aching is mostly played for laughs. Doesn't make it any less true though.

It did. Tis why I chuckled. It would have been more effective if it wasn't surrounded by so much other silliness but instead had been booked ended with more life threatening drama. And what I meant by wasted was, I wish he'd had a bigger role in the film.

Now that you say it, your absolutely right about the size difference. I would have included that in my original rant earlier had I not been distracted by all the other Cons that were distracting me from scale issues.

As a long time fan on the originals (both the classics and the classically campy) speaking to someone who's never seen them ... I can't recommend them to you. Unless your a serious foreign film aficionado or Japanese history and culture enthusiast, a majority of them are big dumb monster mashes with a silly sub plot or an environmental message. A lot of the appeal (for me) is the nostalgia and it almost never translates to new viewers after a certain age.

The original (Japanese Cut) is a haunting piece of work though. I'm hoping the tone of the new Legendary Godzilla will echo that at least.

Nah nowhere near the scale issues in Godzilla. That scene in the tunnel with its eye suddenly makes it 100x bigger than the rest of the film. Its f**king ridiculous.

Same issue. The buildup has to be there which is why it's done. The bigger the animal looks, the more "ooohh" and "aaaahhhed" the audience will be. I guess by the 2nd half the producers figure the audience won't care or notice.
Title: Re: Godzilla Remake and other Movie Monster Discussion
Post by: Keg on Aug 06, 2011, 05:04:27 PM
Same issue yes, but its to a ridiculous extent in Godzilla where somebody like me (who has never noticed the T-Rex size difference as you say) noticed it straight away and was instantly baffled by it. We're not talking making something twice the size here its f**king hundreds of times the size.

Then the same thing happens again actually. In close up shots when its next to human characters its head is about the size of a bus. Then when it burst its head out of Madison Square Gardens near the end of the film its the size of a f**king bus depot.

It changes size so drastically and so many times throughout the film it becomes ridiculous. I enjoy the film I think its great fun but its something I always groan at when im watching it.

Another misconception about the 98 Godzilla is that it was mostly CG and that generated a lot of hate as well. (Albeit misguided hate.) I don't have the exact percentage, but I'd say it was about even with Jurassic Park in it's live action suit/animatronic work ratio.

In the years since it's release there have been no video/DVD/bluray releases that have shown the suit work. I'd pick up a new bluray edition (the one you know will be released to capitalize on the Legendary Godzilla release) if it really goes back and gives us lots of behind the scenes of the suit in action, with all the miniatures.

One of my favorite dynamic shots in the film is where Godzilla is eating the tractor trailer with the cab dangling from it's jaws. I thought it was some really good CGI ... but apparently big props go out to the practical effects guys on this one.

Then when you see its full head close up next to characters (such as the end when its defeated) its eye is only the size of a basketball. Thats some difference you got there.

I hate that too.  If you notice in The Lost World: JP, you'll see when the guy is running from the T-Rex on the streets and tries to run into a building.  You can see the camera man's reflection as he walks up to the glass door.  :P

Regarding the size difference, the filmmakers say it was caused by camera tricks that made the creature appear bigger or smaller for certain sequences. Apart from the famous eye shot (which was understandable, since it was a last-minute addition), the size of the creature is consistent throughout the film, though the camera plays it well and makes it seem it's bigger or smaller, similarly to some sequences in Jurassic Park and in The Lost World, in which the Rexes look bigger or smaller in certain sequences when it's really the camera angle.
Regarding the use of CGI, yeah. Most don't know that Godzilla uses a great load of practical work (resulting in grossly and hilariously misinformated statements such as 'it wasn't a guy in a suit at all'), including miniatures and suits. The babies used a mixture of CGI, stunt suits and hero puppets (kind of like Aliens); same for the main Godzilla, who used plenty of practical work. Other than the impressive 1:6th scale Animatronic and the 1:24th (more or less) scale Creature suit, which used the first mobile leg extensions like the babies (the technology was first used in Pumpkinhead if I recall right, but those extensions couldn't afford much of a movement. The baby Godzillas couldn't run like their CGI counterparts but could afford some good steps) there also were the huge full-scale jaws, full-scale claws, a 1:24th scale tail that had to smash through buildings, and even a full-scale toe intersection (!) used when you see Victor Palotti between Godzilla's toes.
Bat Chain Puller posted some good pictures (from the japanese-only release 'The Art of Godzilla', which I'm rooting to pick up someday), let me continue...

The babies used a mixture of CGI, stunt suits and hero puppets (kind of like Aliens); same for the main Godzilla, who used plenty of practical work. Other than the impressive 1:6th scale Animatronic and the 1:24th (more or less) scale Creature suit, which used the first mobile leg extensions like the babies (the technology was first used in Pumpkinhead if I recall right, but those extensions couldn't afford much of a movement. The baby Godzillas couldn't run like their CGI counterparts but could afford some good steps) there also were the huge full-scale jaws, full-scale claws, a 1:24th scale tail that had to smash through buildings, and even a full-scale toe intersection (!) used when you see Victor Palotti between Godzilla's toes.
Bat Chain Puller posted some good pictures (from the japanese-only release 'The Art of Godzilla', which I'm rooting to pick up someday), let me continue...

There was no point of a sequel with the animated show being a big hit on Fox Kids at the time. Which is why they never choose not to do a sequel.

They cancelled it because Roland Emmerich and Dean Devlin where unable to think of story ideas for the sequel. They left and work on The Patriot instead and GTS was a rating success which feel pointless to do a sequel at the time. That's what Keith Aiken said.

The live action sequel was in the works but ultimately went into production hell; the rights expired in 2003.
There was a script treatment as some of you may know, from Tab Murphy, the writer of Disney's Tarzan.
Here it is (links don't exist anymore and I copy-pasted it from another forum), I'll have to split this into 2 posts as it exceeds the characters limit.
PART I
Spoiler
PROLOGUE
Godzilla is dead. Much of Manhattan lay in ruins. Teams of soldiers continue to scour the creature's underground burrows, searching for any remaining eggs or BabyZillas. Life in New York is slowly returning to normal...

NICK TATOPOULOS is invited to a warehouse where scientists from all over the world are examining Godzilla's dissected body parts. The scientists' excitement is lost on Nick who feels increasingly distraught over the part he played in helping to destroy such a unique and intelligent lifeform. He's haunted by memories of the final look in Godzilla's eyes just before it expired. And when he witnesses half a dozen scientists crawling over one of those extracted dead eyeballs it's more than he can handle. He makes a quick and brusque exit after turning down an opportunity to head up the research project.

Tortured by guilt, Nick sneaks past police barricades into the Manhattan underground to begin a search of his own, hoping against hope to discover some remnant of the now extinct species. His hopes are rewarded when he discovers one last BabyZilla, trapped under some rubble and near death! Nick is able to free the BabyZilla, while avoiding its jaws and claws. Although physically unhurt, the BabyZilla is weak from starvation and will die if something isn't done.

Later, the butcher at a local fish market watches in astonishment as Nick buys every last piece from his display case!

Back in he devastated subway tunnel, Nick feeds the BabyZilla and begins a relationship of trust and mutual respect that will resonate throughout the rest of the film. VOICES suddenly echo from down the tunnel! A dozen flashlight beams sign an approaching squad of soldiers! Nick realizes the BabyZilla will be shot on sight if found by the soldiers. Using the remaining fish as bait, Nick lures the BabyZilla away. The pair manage to reach the surface without being detected. In the meantime, the BabyZilla has come to believe Nick is its mother (imprinting.) following him everywhere like a lovesick puppy. When another squad of soldiers approaches, Nick shrouds the BabyZilla in a long overcoat and shepherds it down to the waterfront. At one point a bum accosts the pair, unwittingly begging for spare change from the BabyZilla. The bum's bloodshot eyes bulge when his extended hand is snapped at by the BabyZilla! The bum's terrified screams bring the soldiers running! Realizing they're about to be discovered, Nick tries to get the BabyZilla to enter the water and strike off on its own. At first, it refuses to leave its 'mother'. Nick is forced to use 'tough love'. He pushes the baby away, screams in anger, even throws rocks at it. Heartbroken, the BabyZilla finally slips into the cold water and swims off into the murky depths with mixed emotions...

ROLL MAIN TITLE


GODZILLA 2

ACT 1

Two years later...

A series of strange and inexplicable events have begun occurring around the world. A cruise ship is found adrift off Australia with nary a soul on board. The entire population of a village on Fiji has literally vanished without a trace, the village itself destroyed. An Indonesian jumbo jet is sliced in half at thirty eight thousand feet. At the crash site, no bodies are found. A Global Task Force is formed to investigate, headed by none other than GENERAL HICKS.

A strange giant egg is discovered in a downtown park of a medium-sized town in New England. When word reaches Hicks of the discovery, he sends in a task force to investigate. The investigators reach the town only to discover it destroyed and its inhabitants vanished without a trace! In the center of town, remnants of the hatched eggs are found. The investigators conclude that somehow, some way, a Godzilla is responsible. The nightmare has begun again. General Hicks immediately puts out an APB on Godzilla expert Nick Tatopoulos.

Wedding bells chime outside a small church in Vermont. Nick and Audrey have finally tied the knot. We see that Nick is more or less resigned to his fate. The pair make their way to a waiting limo, showered by handfuls of rice. Nick climbs inside the limo. When Audrey turns to wave at the crowd at the crowd one last time, the door to the limo suddenly closes and all the doors lock, trapping Nick inside! The limo speeds away from the stunned crowd and Nick's equally stunned bride! (Note: this is the first and last we see of Audrey.) When Nick shouts for an explanation, the driver turns out to be the Frenchman PHILLIPE ROACHE! He apologizes for the abrupt departure, hands Nick a classified folder detailing the strange events occurring around the world. He reveals that he's working for General Hicks and the Global Task Force who are convinced that Godzilla is responsible. Nick insists that even if Godzilla had survived, it couldn't possibly be responsible for the weird events occurring around the world. There are too many inconsistencies. But Phillipe is determined to find out one way or another. And should a Godzilla prove to be alive - "It must be destroyed once and for all." Phillipe stops the car and turns to Nick. "I need your help." Nick finally agrees to help Phillipe in his search - but for very different reasons.

Restricting their search to the Southern Hemisphere because of climate, ocean currents and the relative proximity of the unexplainable events. Nick and Phillipe determine that the only land mass big enough to support a creature of Godzilla's size without fear of detection is Australia. That is where they target their search. Deep in the Australian Outback, Nick and Phillipe cross paths with a beautiful and rugged no-nonsense female biologist (ANNA CHARLTON) who claims to be doing research on Dingoes. She asks what they're doing in the middle of nowhere. Phillipe nods toward Nick: "He's on his honeymoon." Anna takes an immediate dislike to the pair, especially Nick. Her answers to their questions are curt and brusque. No, she's not seen nor heard anything strange or unusual. She asks them to leave and not disturb her research area. Before they d, Phillipe slips a tracking device into the back of her jeep. Both Nick and Phillipe are convinced she's hiding something.

Later, they trail her jeep further into the rugged Outback where they lose her when their own vehicle breaks down. Stranded in the middle of nowhere, arguing, they both suddenly hear a familiar bone chilling ROAR. Grabbing their gear, they race up a nearby bluff and come face to face with - GODZILLA, now full grown! Hiding in the bushes to avoid detection, Nick and Phillipe are even more stunned to discover Godzilla is not alone - the creature has given birth to a brood of young (TeenZillas!), each nearly three stories high! As Godzilla and its brood stomp into full view, a pack of Dingoes suddenly attack a straggler we will come to know as the RUNT of the litter. Smaller and weaker than the others, the Runt cries out for help as the Dingoes swarm! Godzilla ROARS! The rest of her young spook! While Godzilla defends the Runt from the hungry pack, Nick and Phillipe find themselves directly in the path of a Godzilla Stampede! Just when we think they're dead meat, a jeep pulls up and Anna scream for them to "GET IN!!" What follows is a hair-raising rollercoaster ride with Anna swerving inbetween the giant tree trunk legs of the stampeding TeenZillas, miraculously avoiding getting squashed, while Nick and Phillipe cling to their seats for dear life! Eventually, Anna is able to swerve out of harm's way just as Godzilla comes on the scene carrying the Runt on its tail! As calm returns and Godzilla and its brood continues to forage, Anna turns to the astonished Nick and Phillipe: "Okay, so maybe I have seen something a little unusual."

ACT II

Phillipe makes for the radio in Anna's jeep in an attempt to contact General Hicks. Nick pleads with him to wait. They argue. A shot suddenly rings out! The radio shatters! Phillipe and Nick turn to find Anna holding a gun on the pair! Anna reveals that she stumbled upon Godzilla over a year ago and has since dedicated herself to studying and protecting the creature with an almost militant determination. She remains hostile towards the pair, especially Nick. Nick tries to convince her that as a fellow scientist, he wants to help preserve the species not destroy it. He tells Anna he's come to prove that Godzilla and its brood are not responsible for the marauding attacks in the vicinity. But Anna refuses to believe him. She recognizes Nick as the person responsible for the first Godzilla's death. Nick has no choice but to come clean. He finally reveals the secret he's kept from Phillipe, that he rescued a BabyZilla in New York two years before and helped it escape - the same full grown Godzilla that is now running loose with a brood of its own! Phillipe is speechless! He can't believe that Nick would allow one of the creatures, especially knowing how rapidly they multiply. Phillipe is determined to carry out his threat of alerting General Hicks. Nick suddenly ducks behind the wheel of Anna's jeep and roars away! Realizing he has to do something drastic in order to win Anna's trust and prove to Phillipe that Godzilla is essentially harmless, Nick swerves the vehicle and drives straight for the towering fifty story creature! Phillipe and Anna watch in horror as Nick drives right up to Godzilla! A ROAR from Godzilla shatters every window in the jeep! Nick hops out and stands before the giant behemoth! Godzilla raises a foot, ready flatten Nick like a pancake when it suddenly stops short. Something about this particular human is familiar. In a touching scene, Godzilla recognizes its 'mother' and nuzzles Nick affectionately, much to the utter astonishment of Phillipe and Anna! Nick turns yells to the pair- "You see? He's really very gentle!" At that moment, Godzilla delivers a 'welcome home' ROAR that knocks Nick off his feet!

Sydney, Australia. Another giant egg larva is discovered on the outskirts of the city. General Hicks mobilizes his troops and heads Down Under. Another disturbing message arrives. There's been no word from Phillipe or Nick for some time. They seem to have vanished without a trace...

In the Outback, Nick has a new problem: Godzilla follows him everywhere! And wherever Godzilla goes, its babies are sure to follow. This makes for some amusing situations, especially when Godzilla insists on sleeping beside Nick! Having won Anna's trust, Nick invites her to study the Zillas up close and personal. She shares some of her findings with Nick, including the fact that a full-grown Godzilla is capable of reproducing only once, and that the size of the brood is determined by carrying capacity of the land. Nick wrestles with his blossoming attraction for Anna. After all, technically he's a married man (Nick's attempts at contacting his new wife and explaining his whereabouts are continually met with her screaming at him and hanging up!). During this period, Nick tries to convince Phillipe that Godzilla is docile and nonagressive creature that attacks only when its young are threatened. All three are amazed at the tenderness Godzilla shows its young, especially to the Runt. Nick and Anna are certain they're witnessing the birth of a new natural order, that Godzilla is the next step in an evolutionary process accelerated by the nuclear testing fallout. Phillipe is beginning to come around, to believe that perhaps there is a place in the world for Godzilla after all.

But when Godzilla suddenly steals away one night leaving its sleeping brood, Phillipe once again becomes suspicious. The three follow Godzilla in Anna's jeep some twenty miles to the deserted North Coast where they watch the giant creature disappear into the ocean. Nick is heartsick. Is it possible Godzilla has been making the various raids in order to feed its brood? Are the Zillas being fed a steady diet of human captives? If so, then there would be no choice left but to destroy them. Suddenly, the ocean is lit up from beneath by bizarre flashes of lights (this is actually the first clue we have that Godzilla can breathe fire). Schools of tuna swarm to the surface! Godzilla explodes out of the water, forcing hundreds upon hundreds of the fish onto the beach! Nick, Anna, and Phillipe watch the amazing spectacle as Godzilla continues to herd schools of tuna onto the beach! As dawn approaches, another incredible sight greets them - Godzilla's brood appears on the horizon! Descending on the beach, the hungry Zillas begin gorging on the stranded fish! Nick now has the proof he's come after. Even Phillipe has to admit he was wrong, that Godzilla is not responsible for the other attacks. But if not Godzilla, then who?? Or better yet, what? In order to answer than question, the trios decide to take a little trip...

Part II
Spoiler
Monster Island. Godzilla's birthplace. Following Godzilla's death, a clean sweep of the island produced no other biological anomalies. For two years the island has been off limits to visitors, its water heavily patrolled by U.N. warships. Approaching the island Nick, Anna, and Phillipe don wet suits and scuba gear in an effort to slip past the blockade. Swimming toward the island, the three are suddenly engulfed by a giant shadow and are stunned to witness a blue whale three times its normal size glide silently past!

On the island itself, more strange discoveries await - a plethora of new species, some mutated beyond recognition! Even so, there's nothing on the island that seems capable of kind of destruction being reported around the world. Suddenly, the skies above them darken. A strange buzzing sound fills the air. What seems to be an approaching dark cloud turns out to be a huge swarm of mutated winged insects equipped with vicious mandibles and deadly wasp like stingers! The Buick-sized insects appear to be carrying something wrapped in their six spiny legs. Nick, Anna, and Phillipe watch in horror as the insectoids land and release their human captives!

When one man tried to escape he is immediately set upon and stung to death! Meanwhile, wingless termite-like insects swarm out of an underground next and herd the human captives underground. Nick, Phillipe, and Anna prepare to follow. Suddenly, HORRIBLE SCREAMS emanate from the entrance to the underground nest! One by one they die out until an eerie silence is all that remains. And just when things can't get any worse, the QUEEN ***** emerges from the opening; a HUGE and ferocious-looking winged insectoids that the other insects flock around, tending to her every need. She is one nasty bug (and not above dining on her own kind!) As Nick, Anna, and Philippe look on, the Queen takes flight and disappears out over the ocean, heading for God-knows-where. He horrible realization sinks in. People are being abducted from around the world and brought to Monster Island to be used as food by these horrible insectoids. Nick and Anna conclude that Godzilla and its brood are the natural predators of these bugs. But because of man's interference, the natural on Monster Island has been disrupted. With no controls through natural predation (aka Godzilla), these insectoids will continue to multiply and spread, threatening the entire world! Somehow, Godzilla and its brood must be led back to Monster Island in order to bring the insectoids under control and reestablish order and harmony in the food chain.

Phillipe suddenly becomes extremely agitated, insisting they return to the Outback at once. Nick and Anna are perplexed by their friend's strange behavior. Phillipe tells them that Godzilla and its brood are in grave danger. The truth finally comes out. Philippe has tipped of General Hicks and the Global Task Force as to Godzilla's whereabouts! Nick and Anna are stunned! Why would he do such a thing?? Phillipe reveals he was frightened by the number of Zillas they encountered. Ironically, he had nightmarish visions of Godzillas taking over the world which is what prompted his actions. Nick feels betrayed. He and Phillipe fight. Anna breaks it up. She tells them to settle it later. Time may be running out for Godzilla...and the world.

But they're too late...Nick, Anna, and Philippe return to a scene of agonizing devastation. Zillas lie dead everywhere! The countryside is rutted and pockmarked from explosions. The surprise attack by the Global Task Force has come from ground and air. General Hicks and his troops are advancing on Godzilla and one last baby (the Runt) when Nick, Anna, and Philippe arrive on the scene. Nick races past the troops and missile launchers out toward Godzilla and the Runt, causing Hicks to call a cease-fire. Nick looks around at the carnage, at the valiant fight Godzilla put up to save its babies. With tears in his eyes, Nick turns helplessly to Godzilla: "I'm sorry..." The look in Godzilla's eyes is one of heartbreak and betrayal. It ROARS in anguish before suddenly burrowing underground and escaping with the Runt. Nick stands alone amidst the devastation, feeling sick... Meanwhile, Phillipe is congratulated by General Hicks. But Phillipe tells the General they've made a terrible mistake. By killing the Zillas, they may have just doomed the rest of the world. Before General Hicks can respond, he receives a message from Sydney: something bizarre is occurring to the giant egg larva...

ACT III

Near downtown Sydney, a huge greenhouse-like enclosure has been built around the larval egg, giving scientists an opportunity to study the strange phenomenon in a controlled environment. Tanks and missile launchers surround the enclosure as a protective measure against whatever might hatch from the egg. The surrounding downtown area has been evacuated. Nick realizes egg was laid by the Queen and is the first step in what will eventually lead to a worldwide spread of the deadly insectoids. He pleads with General Hicks to destroy it. While the pair argue, the Queen ***** makes a sudden appearance, intent on protecting her egg! She quickly lays waste to Hick's troops garrison! While Nick, Anna, and Phillipe run for cover, a familiar figure suddenly bursts up through the pavement - GODZILLA! And there, hanging onto Godzilla's tail, the Runt! Godzilla goes up against the Queen ***** in a spectacular pitched battle throughout downtown Sydney! At one point, Godzilla takes a nasty sting in the throat that temporarily paralyzes it. The Runt goes to help but it immediately set upon by the vicious Queen! Without hesitation, Anna races forward to aid the Runt! But the queen succeeds in killing the baby and grabbing up Anna, much to Nick's horror! Godzilla comes to and see its dead baby. It roars in anguish before turning on the Queen's egg larva and torching it with a burst of atomic fire breath!! Wow... The Queen ***** screams in rage and takes wing, Anna struggling in its spiny clutches! Nick, Phillipe, and Hicks watch as Godzilla dives into the ocean, head for Monster Island and a final showdown with the Queen *****...

Nick and Phillipe put aside their differences in order to go after Anna. General Hicks organizes a military rescue, led by a squadron of jet fighters. He jumps into an Apache chopper together with Nick and Phillipe. As the chopper lifts off, Hicks remembers to give Nick a note he's been carrying. Nick reads it and his face drops even further. "Bad news?" Asks Phillipe. "I'm not sure," Nick responds, handing Phillipe the note. His marriage has been annulled...

On approach to Monster Island, they are attacked by a swarm of the mutated insectoids! A spectacular battle in the sky follows as the jet fighters take on the insects! But the insect numbers prove to be overpowering. The battle ends with every jet down and the Apache chopper crash landing on the island just as Godzilla wades ashore to take up the attack! Nick, Phillipe and Hicks scramble from the wreckage of the downed chopper as all hell breaks loose! Godzilla is under assault from the flying insectoids above and the wingless termite-like bugs on the ground! Bursts of atomic fire breath incinerate everything within range! While Hicks awaits reinforcements, Nick and Phillipe make their way into the maze of deserted underground passageways in search of Anna. The pair stumble upon an enormous underground chamber where hundreds of half-starved human prisoners are being guarded by a handful of wingless insectoids. Using incinerator grenades, Nick and Phillipe manage to kill the insect guards. Nick and Anna embrace in an emotional reunion.

Phillipe, Nick, and Anna begin to lead the others topside when the Queen ***** suddenly appears, blocking their way and trapping them inside the underground chamber! The Queen ***** advances and is about to devour Nick or lunch when Godzilla suddenly burrows through the cavern wall! Godzilla and the Queen ***** square off for one final Giant Monster Battle! Nick, Anna, and Phillipe lead the captive people topside as the fight progresses above ground! This time, Godzilla is the victor, vanquishing the Queen ***** and bring natural order back to the Monster Island ecosystem. General Hicks' reinforcement suddenly arrive. They line up their big guns to take out Godzilla once and for all. Godzilla is all but defenseless, spent and exhausted from his battle with the Queen *****. Nick, Anna are so enraged that Hicks order them put under protective custody. All appears lost. Believing he's doing the right thing for humanity, General Hicks is about to give the order to fire when an extraordinary thing occurs - the hundreds of people that have been set free form a protective circle around Godzilla! And there leading the blockade is none other Phillipe! And in that moment, General Hicks realizes pulling the trigger on Godzilla would be the wrong thing to do. He orders his troops to withdraw. LOUD CHEERS go up from the people that Godzilla helped set free! Suddenly, a new sound reaches everyone's ears. Just then, another Godzilla wades onto the shores of Monster Island, calling for its mother! The Runt wasn't killed after all! The sight of its baby revives Godzilla and the pair have a touching reunion.

Later, against a brilliant sunset, Nick, Anna, and Phillipe say goodbye to Godzilla and the Runt as the pair return to the ocean...

I think they should do a TV show based on the cartoon.

What exactly do you mean? The cartoon is a TV show.

I was gonna say the same thing, but looking at it again, I believe he means a live action show.

Yes, i meant live action.
Should have cleared that up a bit.

Brian could actually do a good job.  I personally love all his work.  His work for Rambo and Eagle Eye were wonderful.

If not Tyler, they could just get David Arnold again  :D

King Ghidorah should be saved for the second film. Much like the Joker was saved, yet hinted at in Batman Begins, and arrived with such an impact in The Dark Knight. Start off with some other, yet pretty tough daikaiju  in this flick like Angilas, Rodan, or my personal favorite, Varan.

QuoteRumor from InfamousKidd's unidentified source also has it that this bipedal lizard behemoth will be created man-in-suit style, meaning Edwards will be taking a cue from the golden age of kaiju films and creating an elaborate rubber suit someone can act in in front of a camera, while a team of puppeteers off screen operate the head using animatronics.

Post by: Bat Chain Puller on Oct 14, 2011, 05:47:32 PM
I dunno. The article with the Biollante concept stuff goes to great lengths to articulate that the news of Godzilla being a suit with CGI highlights has already been established.

I haven't been keeping up. For shame!

Biollante seems like an odd choice. I wasn't expecting there would be a rival monster to begin with. Just a straight up nightmare scenario of the emerging Godzilla.

I'm good with the suit/CGI.

All CGI if only the finest craftsmen are involved.

The real trick is making him interact with his environment realistically. The weight and gravity of his building smashing. Haze and particle effects that pollute the air. Flames. These are what sells the realism.

What's far more important than the remake is the original Godzilla on Blu Ray, I just got it and it blows away all previous releases out of the water. The previous Classic Media release was merely an upscale from the dvd verison, and it looked terrible. Criterion is simply one of the greatest when it comes to restoring classic films, and this is likely the best it will ever look since the original negative has been lost. They remastered both the american recut and the original japanese verison (japanese verison comes with more accurate subtitles).

The only downside is that it is region locked for region 1 so if you're not in north america you"ll need a region-free bluray player.


Heres some screenshots/video along with some comparison to other releases.

Legit Concept Art For Legendary's 'Godzilla' Reboot

(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bloody-disgusting.com%2Fphotosizer%2Ftimthumb.php%3Fsrc%3D%2Fphotosizer%2Fupload%2F1godzilla011712.jpg%26amp%3Bw%3D600%26amp%3Bzc%3D0&hash=519da37e1348506d136f5bdf19a82c225ff342ae)

QuoteA brand new issue of G-fan has revealed that a pair of Godzilla concept art images are in fact legit, with the previous incarnation (displayed all over the web prior to this story) were fakes. Too bad they were rejected.

Monsters director Gareth Edwards is still is attached to direct the latest revamp of Godzilla for Legendary Pictures. Max Borenstein is rewriting David Goyer's draft. No details have been revealed other than there have been talks of 3-D and IMAX.

Making his first appearance in 1954 (Gojira) Godzilla is a giant monster that lives in the sea that comes from the ocean to feed on mankind. In 1998, TriStar Pictures produced a remake set in New York City, directed by Roland Emmerich and starring Matthew Broderick.
http://www.bloody-disgusting.com/news/27936 (http://www.bloody-disgusting.com/news/27936)

I like the first one. Only like it. Concept art can be tricky. It almost needs to be HYPER-COOL just to get the finished product to be regular cool. I feel like the realized version of this concept would just be mah.

Chaotic-Strike. Gold post man. That videooooo!

I've been eagerly awaiting this blu for as long as blu has existed. I held off on the first edition knowing what the deal was with the up convert from early reviews and such. I'm still holding off a bit because I refuse to pay over $19.99 for a disk.

But that video makes me want to splooge splurge!

I almost resent that fact that they have to (in big white letters) hit people over the head with "Monster as a Metaphor" - "It's not just a Monster Movie!" ect. It's as if Criterion is justifying why they are putting this out.

I must confess ignorance so someone help me out. I know the original Gojira was supposed to have an anti-nuclear war message but is the message really that obvious: don't start war lest we be attacked by a 400-ft tall monster?
Title: Re: Godzilla Remake and other Movie Monster Discussion
Post by: OmegaZilla on Feb 07, 2012, 02:48:34 PM
It's been a lot of time since I last saw it, but what you say is part of the environmental message, you know, the 'nature strikes back' theme, which seemed to be pretty popular in the 50s (The Beast from 20.000 Fathoms started the trend), hence the speech at the end of the film (similar to THEM!). There's also the theme of the nuclear bomb, 'reincarnated' in Godzilla, coming back to haunt the Japanese, but I don't remember if it was so much implied in the film or if it is one of the ways you can read it.

It's not at all that ham-fisted. As I can recall there is no saber rattling or finger pointing at America or any other country for it's involvement and escalation of weapons and war. It seemed more of a personal, introverted, even mournful lament for Japan's involvement in the war. As if they were personally responsible for opening the nuclear Pandora's box. The weapon that is developed to destroy Godzilla is the metaphor of becoming a monster to destroy a monster. It was a warning about using nuclear weapons to fight nuclear weapons.

More of my changing views of the Original Godzilla; The American dubbed and the Original Japanese versions.
Spoiler

I saw the original Godzilla when I was very young. Perhaps 5 or 6 years old. I had seen some of the other sequels. The late 60's, early 70's camp offerings. And it didn't appeal to me then as it was darker, scarier version of what I already knew and loved. Plus it was in black and white which was pretty lame to me.

It wasn't until I started appreciate film in general (in my teens) that I began to appreciate what the original Godzilla was really all about. I was almost embarrassed by the other films at that point. The original was a nightmare. People, families, children, died. The footage was stark and the Godzilla was a brooding, unstoppable force.

Then, about 8 years ago, I saw the uncut Japanese version at a screening in a small theater downtown. Holy shit! It was a completely different film. Gone was Raymond Burr and all the 'American' actors and sub-plots that made up most of what I had come to know as 'the original Godzilla.' The Japanese version is quite a bit longer

For the record despite being a HUGE Original Godzilla fan I LOVE the 1998 remake. But Her character was alittle annoying for me. Honestly I compare the 98 film as a remake of the 54 film and it adds sevral new concepts and ideas that I like but the human cast was pretty lacluster at times. I really like Nick but Phillpe and Animal and every other side character were far more intresting than Nick and Audrey.

I feel I have to mention Brad Pitt's mention/shout out to the classic/underground Toho Giant Monster Movie WAR OF THE GARGANTUANS on the Oscar telecast last night. For most people I'm sure they were scratching their heads wondering what the hell movie is that? But for a select few of us (and most certainly those of us that frequent this and other monster threads) will know what he's talking about and why it's sort of cool to have a star like Pitt champion a lesser known giant monster movie.

Requiem, thanks a bunch for the video. It'll come in handy in the future. ;)

I think any comment from me on the 1998 film would be superfluous, uh?
I'll say I never thought there ever was bad acting in Godzilla, in fact I like practically all of the featured performances. Matthew Broderick knows how to infuse sense of wonder regarding the creature in his character. And, in all sincerity, Maria Pitillo may not be an uber-actress, but in this film she does her job of portraying a frivolous, immature and quickly changing character. Certainly did not deserve a Razzie.

Bat Chain, I'm pretty aware of War of the Gargantuas, although I'm not a huge fan of it or anything. It's average at best IMHO. Despite that it's nice that Brad Pitt mentioned it, if he knows this film he surely has a culture about them Monster Movies haha.

Speaking of Godzilla and your blog, I just read the script treatment for Godzilla 2. It's pretty good, even though the whole romance was pretty pointless and I could have done without the whole "feel good" ending. But it had the promise of some really spectacular action, both when it comes to man versus monster and monster versus monster (Godzilla Vs. ALIENS). With some changes, I think it would have made for a satisfying sequel to the '98 movie. :)
Title: Re: Godzilla Remake and other Movie Monster Discussion
Post by: OmegaZilla on Mar 16, 2012, 09:29:53 PM
Yeah, I agree. :) I do find the prologue really good, it flows naturally from the ending of Godzilla. I like the set up of this unique relationship between a scientist and a mutant reptile, but I think it is overplayed throughout the story -- I would've put a pair of scenes with Godzilla coming to protect Nick from danger, and one scene in which it doesn't annihilate him because it recognizes him; you know, something like that. The script gets it a bit too far IMHO.
I do like the villain choice (it would later get 'recycled' in a TOHO production, Godzilla Vs. Megaguirus) and wonder what Tatopoulos would have come up with for the design of the Queen Bitch.
What I would absolutely remove is the 'protecting circle' at the end however. I find that rather inappropriate, you know?

Of course the script treatment is not an indication of what the film would have been in all aspects, it could have been rewritten (see: Alien3), but it is the proof a sequel to the 1998 film was considered, before it got to development hell and eventually the guillotine in 2003.

Well they just hire a writer to write Goyer's story into a screen play back in November. These things take time, not to mention they must send everything to Toho for approval. I'm pretty sure LP is most likely going to release the movie in November 2014 for Godzilla's 60th anniversary. I personally want a July 2014 release date but I know that movies like Transformers 4 and How to Train Your Dragon 2 is going to over shadow it.

Ms. Patillo was in the critical darling of a series Providence which came out half a year after GODZILLA. Since then, I haven't seen the gal. According to Emmerich in an interview , he and Devlin liked her audition the best out of those that came through. For awhile, it was reported that the role of Audry Timmons was supposedly going to Jennifer Anniston. From reading the interview with Emmerich, Tri-Star was pushing for a particular actress, so I'm guessing it was Anniston to get the role, but Emmerich and Devlin won out with their choice.
Title: Re: Godzilla Remake and other Movie Monster Discussion
Post by: Bat Chain Puller on Mar 18, 2012, 03:16:10 AM
Was Friends BIG by then? If so, Jennifer Aniston's  payday would have been bigger than all the other actors in the film put together. And I'm sure the smartest move would be to spend Aniston's pay on making a badass Godzilla.

Either way, Aniston's acting skills are probably only slightly better than Patillo's. But Patillo didn't know how to smuggle peanuts like Aniston (which goes far in a visual medium, especially when your demographic is straight men.)

Had Aniston landed the role it would have done nothing for the character of Audry. There are only so many ways you can polish a turd. (The writing) But there would have been more eye candy for sure.

In a relation to this: Sarah Jessica Parker was turned down for the part. (I don't know if she was married to Matthew Brodrick at the time) and Renee Zellweger said "No" when they approached her. Now she can ACT.

Very very early in production Bill Paxton and Helen Hunt were rumored to be in Jan De Bont's Godzilla but the studio didn't want to give him $130 million to do it. So he took his actors and made Twister instead.

One of the head's desgin looks like a Dinosaur. While he is a Dinosaur, he does not look completely look like one. One thing that I hate that I see with most fan arts that people try to give a Dinosaur look to him with him hunch back like a T-rex or a T-rex slap with sikes on him. The 1989-1991 is a pretty much a perfect design IMO.

Now that is just a Dinosaur with dorsal plates slapped on it. The designs above, not so much. They do have some Dinosaur influence into them, but they don't just look like a T.Rex.

GINO's desgin was a good stand alone monster but not for Godzilla. I never hate it, but I don't want a total Dinosaur looking design. Want it more like the 1989-1994 Godzilla then GINO/Zilla or try to be like the G2k/GXM Godzilla. I don't mind the G2k/GXM Godzilla design but I find it overrated and I don't want see another design like it again.
Title: Re: Godzilla Remake and other Movie Monster Discussion
Post by: OmegaZilla on Apr 06, 2012, 07:08:13 AM
The 1998 Godzilla looks like a post-modern idea of a Dinosaur as much as the Japanese Godzilla looks like a dated idea of a Dinosaur -- ergo the old reconstructions with the famous 'tripod stance'.
It's not a surprise, though, that you find the Godzilla 2000 design overrated. That makeover on the creature was obviously based on the American film -- Godzilla 2000 was the first (entirely japanese) Godzilla film to be released in the US theatrically for over a decade (the last one was Return of Godzilla -- from Godzilla Vs. Biollante to the end of the Heisei series the films just got a VHS release), so it tried to surf on the success of Emmerich's Godzilla. Other than the more reptilian design we have some very similar scenes -- e.g. Godzilla swims like a reptile in one sequence.

I'm pretty excited about the new Godzilla movie. I've been a fan almost as long as I can remember. We had a couple of G movies taped off of I think the Sci-Fi channel, and Patrick MacNee was introducing the movies. King Kong vs Godzilla was the one I watched the most, and it's still one of my favorites. I saw the Roland Emmerich Godzilla in theaters when I was six, and although I now recognize the flaws, I still have a certain amount of affection for it. I'm curious to see how the new movie plays out.

Reading this whole thread (no life, lol) got me to rewatch the Gamera blu-rays that I bought back in September/October. I was never much of a Gamera fan, but those movies are awesome. The effects are epic, especially for the 90s. The CGI holds up better than a lot of it from back then did (c.f. Blade, Mortal Kombat). The human characters are fairly interesting, and Steven Seagal's daughter is pretty cool in them. Heck, didn't Ebert give Guardian of the Universe three out of four stars? That's pretty impressive for a kaiju flick. It's also pretty astounding just how cool the friend of all children is in them. And the blu-ray set was an absolute steal. Thirteen US dollars on Amazon, can you dig it? It's too bad the subs on Revenge of Iris are messed up, but that doesn't hamper my enjoyment at all. The blu-ray trilogy is highly recommended.

So, what would you guys say is the worst kaiju film, Godzilla's revenge aside? Raids Again was a bit underwhelming for me, IMO. I haven't seen the whole Godzilla series, but that one's near the bottom for me.

Final Wars is a guilty pleasure of mine, if only because the dub track makes everyone sound like they stepped out of an anime. The big problem with Raids Again is god awful pacing. It gets boring real quick. All Monsters Attack... how is that title at all accurate? I know it's official, but it doesn't describe the movie well at all.

Haven't seen Raids Again, but I quite liked Final Wars. Its odd and different and a bit light on the monster action, but its fun. I'm not really sure what I would consider to be my least favorite. I guess I'd have to check them out again.

As for Godzilla's Revenge, I'd be lying if I said I didn't enjoy it :P Its terrible, but in a great way.

It was going to be King Kong vs. Frankenstein at one point but I remember that the cost of stop animation discouraged potential studios from putting the film into production at the time and one of the producers sold the movie to Toho. Toho keep on making Godzilla movies after KKvsG was a huge hit seeing Toho never plan to bring back Godzilla before King Kong vs. Godzilla.

I think the quills are supposed to be over sized feathers, from the Dinosaur part of Godzilla. Personally, I don't think Godzilla needs feathers. Maybe baby Godzilla, but an adult Godzilla with feathers just feels silly to me.

T.Rex very likely had feathers, so get used to it ;)

As for the quills on G-man's arms. I'm not feeling them either. What I want to know is why Godzilla always has to be shaped like a triangle, i.e. fat. Is there no love for a SlimJim Godzilla?

Yeah.  The lower jaw is a bit thin and the upper jaw points out a bit more than it should.. The coloring is also way off, but I plan to re-paint it.  However, I'll have to see how it looks in person before I do that.

I initially wanted to re-paint The Avengers Diamond Select Hulk when I saw how it looked on the web.  But I ended up enjoying how it looked in person, so hopefully the same goes for this guy.

Looking forward to that, if you decide to do so.  :)

Haha yes, you know, I've seen the design so many times I recognize something wrong in a model at first sight: 'aw f**k it, the lower jaw is too thin! The curved ridge that goes from the cheekbone to the nostril area is wrong... Wait! That scale should not be there!' etc. :laugh: When I look for collectibles portraying it I look for 100% accuracy, because it's such a magnificent design. Disgrace for me, because practically no statues or collectibles I know of replicate the design perfectly haha. The one that comes closest is the Zokei Kobo model, which just has the infamous dew finger.

Yeah, I know  :laugh:  I was looking at him earlier and twitched at that extra finger.  I do really love this kit. Aside from that pinky finger, it's pretty much spot on to the actual movie monster.  It's too bad that it's soooo rare to come by, and if you ever do, it may cost you a penny or two  :P  But I'm super happy that I found this guy, especially for that price, cause all I've found over the years on Ebay and Amazon were the Trendmaster figures.

I find Final Wars to be a dull film. None of the action scenes where enjoyable since most of them where ripped off from other action movies like The Matrix, X-Men and The One. And that it's an anniversary film which Godzilla hardly appears until the last half hour of the movie and the movie focus too much on the human cast instead of the monsters given that FW was trying to be a big budget version of Destroy All Monsters. Not to mention the cinematography look pretty bad too.

For me FW is a VERY entertaining film, but its a bad Godzilla film. It was a bad way to end the series.

Okay, fair enough.

But admit, the way he finished Ghidorah was epic.
Throwing him into the air, spinning around and blasting a red laser beam into him, propelling Ghidorah into orbit and incinerating him!  ;D

Yeah it was kinda cool but those moments as awesome as they are are kinda few and far between. Plus they are over way to quickly and Godzilla and the others feel complete disjointed from the main story line. The monsters were awesome but I just whish the film as a whole was up to par with the few awesome moments that are in the film. But thats me be a critical Godzilla fan. GFW is as I said a REALLY fun movie to watch but the Godzilla fan in me that followed its inception whished for a little more.

I think we can all agree every Godzilla film is awesome in it's own way.

One of the best designs and use of miniatures in the whole series. Also half-baked time travel and cheesy terminator. 7.5/10 at least.

It was moments like that which caused me to dislike the movie, actually. It doesn't feel "Godzilla", it feels "We're trying to be like Dragonball but with giant monsters"

Most of Final Wars felt like that, in a way. Sure, it was fun to see humans take down Ebirah, but it just doesn't feel like a Godzilla movie to me.

Its one of the "lost" Godzilla films here in the us. Other than the original relases on VHS and laserdisc it has yet to reappear in DVD, streaming, or Blu Ray. I think it has to do with the American distributer being Miramax.

Biollante is probably the weirdest Godzilla movie I've seen. It's what you get when you mix Godzilla with ESP, obscure Arab nations, terrorism, and spirit possessed plants. Like I said, weird. Biollante was a pretty cool monster, though.

The Toho Kingdom rumor mill has it that Bob Eggleton saw a few of their concepts...and wasn't to happy about them.

Something to do with turning Godzilla into a giant, melting burning thing. Like some kind of Burning Hedorah looking f**ker.

Honestly, when Gareth Edwards was announced as director all my expectations lowered.

Well, that's the question everyone's been asking really and why the news really never left the forum. Why would Bob Eggleton have access to concept art?

Bob is a major Godzilla fan and has done a lot of work in the franchise illustrating books and comic covers. He's kind of a big deal to the fandom, and whatever else he is Gareth Edwards is definitly a fan. I can see him showing Bob a few concept pieces to get his opinion.

Still, Bob doesn't seem like the type to just make shit up and neither does the guy who brought this to our (well, their, I don't post at TK anymore) attention.

QuoteAnd how can you lower your expectations based on Gareth Edwards? Monsters was a fantastic film.

No it wasn't. It was well shot, the cinematography was excellent. The effects, for such a low budget film, were impressive.

Everything else was pretty much garbage.

1. Well then if the source, and Eggleston aren't lying, then I guess this can be true. But then another question comes out of this whole thing. Was this extremely early concept art? There's really so much to ask, but this would be the one question that I would find out if there is an answer to, because I can't really find any websites that seem to have any clue.

2. Not here to argue, but would you care to explain why it was garbage to you? Because I found it fascinating, I enjoyed the characters, I enjoyed the setting, the story, pretty much everything was well done as far as I can tell.

Again, that's the question that was on everyones mind's at the time of the posting. Basically WTF? Are they doing Burning Godzilla? Was it in fact concept art for an Oxygen Destroyer death scene and Eggleton just didn't get the memo? It could be that they were trying to push the radioactive monster/horrible mutation angle. Or they're trying to distance themselves from the classic design as much as possible while at the same time trying to avoid another GINO design.

The setting was pretty novel now that you mention it but I found the characters bland and at times downright insipid. The concept of the story wasn't bad but it was just handled poorly. The pacing crawled like a slug.

A lot of people take issue with the fact that it was a Character Driven Drama that presented itself as a monster/alien invasion film. My main issue is that the characters stradled the line between boring and irritating.

Here's the exact quote, scroll down Legion1979's post.

http://www.tohokingdom.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=146&hilit=Fissioning&sid=6b67292d74c4aae5b1f0cd98b44b5e9d&start=900 (http://www.tohokingdom.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=146&hilit=Fissioning&sid=6b67292d74c4aae5b1f0cd98b44b5e9d&start=900)

QuoteThis comes from artist and friend Bob Eggleton, during a conversation the two of us and several friends were having on FB last night...

"I saw one piece of concept art and they seemed to be going the direction of a Burning Godzilla...the spikes were all hot and on fire...All the concept art seems to show this thing that looks like Space Godzilla meets Burning Godzilla, a mountain of toxic waste and garbage with spikey things on it's arms, and burning back spikes."

He knows people in the industry and isn't the type to get thing wrong and certainly not the type to make things up. Concept art it may be, but it still gives us an indication of where LP may be going with the design.

Legion is in contact with Eggleton via facebook and after reading through a few of his posts, I've learned that Eggleton actually knows a few folks working for Toho.

Now Legion1979 is a kind of a dick, but he's also generally right and I've never known him to be a liar before. He's a fairly well respect member of the G-Fan community over on TK, even if he's not a very well liked one.

Well since Legion1979 is a well respected member, then I am not going to doubt his credibility.

The only thing that comes to my mind is that maybe this is what Godzilla might end up looking when the Big G eventually dies in the film...IF they even kill him, I should say.

I'd be happy if they just used GMK Godzilla myself. Just give him pupils and bigger ears.

But seeing as how the "modern" approach to creature design is apparently emaciated to the point of hilarity with spikes and quills and shit everywhere that's probably what we're going to get.

GMK Godzilla is one of my fave Godzilla designs. Just love that look, and how he was portrayed as this badass in the entire movie. Honestly showing no damn mercy.
Title: Re: Godzilla Remake and other Movie Monster Discussion
Post by: TheDamnSheep on Jun 19, 2012, 03:47:30 AM
GMK is one of my faves because it took everything good about the Heisei design but made it better. The GMK Godzilla has a sense of great size, mass and power but he's not stiff and immobile like the nineties version. The design isn't perfect, but it's up there. Another thing that really stands out is that it takes all the basic Godzilla design elements and incorporates them in a unique and fresh way but at the same time is a very basic Godzilla design.

It proves that you can redesign Godzilla in a fresh unique way and keep to all the hallmarks of what makes him unique and iconic without sticking a bunch of huge sharp cutty bits on everything and making him walk like a dinosaur.

So I just watched G98 again a couple nights ago (small review up in the Last movie thread, probably a page or so back). I forgot how much I liked the movie. Its very different from the original films, but also very enjoyable. Its a big, fun summer blockbuster with an excellently designed creature. I enjoyed every minute of it :)

I'm really interested in seeing how this reboot turns out, if it even ends up happening.

Except for...all of them.

I'm really interested in seeing how this reboot turns out, if it even ends up happening.

Speaking as a life long G-Fan I can say there's actually a lot to like about the Godzilla 1998 movie. The score is excellent, the special effects are still top notch and hold up well even today and I think the dreary, rainy atmosphere contrasted well against the light hearted upbeat tone of the script. Some (not all, or even most, but definitly some) of the characters were memorable and enjoyable. Animal was and still is one of my favorite human characters in the entire Godzilla pantheon. While a lot of people decried it as ripping off JP, I liked the climax with the Baby Zillas in Madison Square Garden. Point of fact, I feel that the entire movie would have benefited if they had just not called it Godzilla, ditched the entire giant monster angle and just had the movie be about an infestation of man-sized rapidly reproducing mutated reptiles invading New York on a grand scale.

That's not even getting into the enormous nostalgia factor.

That said while GINO fans tend to handwave the very real criticisms of Godzilla fans as idiotic fanboy bitching, the fact remains that Tristar Godzilla does pretty much everything else wrong. It completely missed the character of Godzilla, started the horrible trend of redesigning Godzilla into a scaly helium balloon walking around on stilts and most of the characters were only engaging in that you wanted to see them get crushed either by way of Kaiju foot or falling debris.

G98 doesn't make my dick as hard as it used to back when I was a kid, but it's certainly a solid and really fun blockbuster. It's not Godzilla though.

No matter what Godzilla will look like -- there will be a part of the fanbase bitching about it. Be absolutely sure about that.


That certainly doesn't sound like any other fandom I know.

Except for...all of them.

QuoteSo I just watched G98 again a couple nights ago (small review up in the Last movie thread, probably a page or so back). I forgot how much I liked the movie. Its very different from the original films, but also very enjoyable. Its a big, fun summer blockbuster with an excellently designed creature. I enjoyed every minute of it

I'm really interested in seeing how this reboot turns out, if it even ends up happening.

Speaking as a life long G-Fan I can say there's actually a lot to like about the Godzilla 1998 movie. The score is excellent, the special effects are still top notch and hold up well even today and I think the dreary, rainy atmosphere contrasted well against the light hearted upbeat tone of the script. Some (not all, or even most, but definitly some) of the characters were memorable and enjoyable. Animal was and still is one of my favorite human characters in the entire Godzilla pantheon. While a lot of people decried it as ripping off JP, I liked the climax with the Baby Zillas in Madison Square Garden. Point of fact, I feel that the entire movie would have benefited if they had just not called it Godzilla, ditched the entire giant monster angle and just had the movie be about an infestation of man-sized rapidly reproducing mutated reptiles invading New York on a grand scale.

That's not even getting into the enormous nostalgia factor.

That said while GINO fans tend to handwave the very real criticisms of Godzilla fans as idiotic fanboy bitching, the fact remains that Tristar Godzilla does pretty much everything else wrong. It completely missed the character of Godzilla, started the horrible trend of redesigning Godzilla into a scaly helium balloon walking around on stilts and most of the characters were only engaging in that you wanted to see them get crushed either by way of Kaiju foot or falling debris.

I agree with everything but the last paragraph.  Maybe 20% of the last paragraph.

The part where I condemn GINO's character design and the trend it started or the part where I condemn Ferris Beuller?

Godzilla's character design.  I felt it suited the atmosphere of the film perfectly.  He also had a little character to him ( Hense his toying  during the initial military attack and the taxi chase)

GINO certainly had his own unique vocabulary of movement but I don't feel he ever really showed any character except the moment when he looks up at Nick and the others after he realizes his offspring is dead.

I also dislike the design, even as a general kaiju design. It's overly lanked out and emaciated. I realize GINO's whole thing was being a fragile speedster but Godzilla never was nor should he ever be a fragile speedster and even a fragile speedster kaiju should look more powerful than what we got.

In the end, GINO looked more suited towards being a smaller monster-either the size of a man or the size of a T. Rex-than being a kaiju.

GINO's design was OK. It worked for the film but it's not classical Godzilla. I think Tristar wanted a more dino-like creature because they likely felt Western audiences would prefer something more familiar-looking.

Dean and Roland wanted the dinosaur-esque design because they felt it would be more realistic.

Patrick Tatopoulos' only comment (that I am aware of) that compares his design to Dinosaurs states that the legs are 'like Dinosaur legs', but then goes on and also mentions Ostriches, Reptiles, etc.
Here's a quote of his from the Making of Book:

"The only challenge was not to make this creature look like a T-Rex [sic] or a gigantic dinosaur because we've seen this in Jurassic Park and even more in The Lost World where the T-Rex runs around the street. At that time, we didn't know about it (because The Lost World hadn't opened yet) but fortunately this guy does not look like a dinosaur. It is a dragon more than anything else. a dragon with textures and a finish that is very realistic, so that we feel, oh, it is a real dragon, it is alive. Roland really wanted this character not to be an unbelievable monster but at the same time we didn't want to make a realistic dinosaur either, so that's where the challenge was."

And then it's the same old stuff I've repeated probably more than a dozen times (lost the count): design was a mixture of various things -- primarily crocodiles and lizards; color scheme from a sailfin dragon; the torso, arms and hands were humanoid; chin inspired by Shere Khan; yadda yadda.

The intention may not have been to make him look like a dinosaur and more like a dragon (which I can see a little now that you mention it) but ultimately, that's what the masses will see. It also didn't help that the baby Zilllas behaved like raptors.

Is not the point. Someone mentioned that the filmmakers wanted a big and realistic dinosaur and nothing else. They did not. :)
Of course you see people comparing it to a theropod -- either genuinely or as a pretty frail excuse to criticize it (heard a guy once -- he was like 'nah, I don't like the design but it does not look like a dinosaur much'; then, as the discussion went on, he said 'it's just a T.Rex with plates!'). Theropods are reptilian (period) and bipedal. That's literally everything Godzilla shares with them -- as much as the old Godzilla shared traits with the old idea of a theropod. I'm sure you remember films we both love like Valley of Gwangi. :)

They always came off more like the Shriekers from Tremors 2 to me. Chaotic and chasing food carelessly for the most part. The Raptors were cunning and organized all the time. The baby Godzillas were not. They may share a reptilian origin and a similar size -- but the characterization was completely different. The narrative archetype of monsters in the basement/on the loose was founded way before all the mentioned films, either way.

Yes, TVoG...what about it?

The raptor comparison is warranted by the way they moved more than anything else. Like when a group of them explode through the door and one of them leaps up in the air and attacks the French merc. It reminds of a very similar scene in TLW when a raptor jumps out of the grass and kills one of the hunters.

All dinosaurs prior to Jurassic Park, in film, moved with their tails dragging on the ground and theropods assumed the famous "kangaroo stance", as it has been described.

But as I recall, Godzilla was never described as a dinosaur, capital D, a type of archosaur. He was simply a relic from the Mesozoic.

Ok, and? Why would that change from movie to movie? I'm saying two similarly looking creatures behaving in a very similar way is more than just a coincidence, especially considering Godzilla was released only a year after TLW.

I don't remember what they say in the 1954 film very specifically either (Then again Godzilla Vs. King Ghidorah). However, that is not my point. I'm strictly talking designs here. People compare the 1998 Godzilla to a dinosaur. My point is that it resembles a current conception of a dinosaur as much as the old Godzilla resembles an old conception of a dinosaur. :)

So we're in agreement then. Designing Godzilla to walk like a accurate theropod is about as superfluous as, say, giving him antlers or tentacles or weather control powers. Leaving your own mark on the character is one thing, but there's a point when it stops being Godzilla and becomes your own Kaiju with no relation to the character other than being a reptile with dorsal plates.

Regardless, GINO's design was clearly meant to reflect an updated understanding of dinosaur anatomy even though the design didn't suit Godzilla at all.

And it still doesn't explain why GINO was so ridiculously emaciated.

QuoteSpeaking of ASAP... I should write down the Making of Godzilla stuff. Guh.

Do it.

Quote from: DoomrulzBut as I recall, Godzilla was never described as a dinosaur, capital D, a type of archosaur. He was simply a relic from the Mesozoic.

Correct, he was a "transitional reptile".

Now what exactly this means is somewhat open to debate. At that time Dinosaurs were largely considered to be reptiles, as in creatures that would have more in common with squamates and snakes. Today they are now known to be avian (or, if you want to be pedantic, Avians are considered to be Saurian) and this is the view that has largely colored the way dinosaurs have been portrayed in films and books. It's difficult to determine where exactly Godzilla fits into the family tree of Dinosaurs, Plesiosaurs and Pterosaurs and maybe it's better that it's left unknown. Godzilla clearly shows outward no avian traits and resembles old theropod dinosaurs in only the very broadest of senses. Even in the original 1954 Gojira, Doctor Yamane admits that he is only theorizing and Godzilla's origins are never explicitly stated one way or another. We only know that he was awakened and altered in some way by atomic testing. The Odo Island mythology adds a slightly mystical element to his possible origins which makes the truth even murkier. 

In the end, I feel it's a mistake to try to classify Godzilla and put him somewhere on the archosaur family tree. It devalues him as a unique character.

Because to some people (myself included) ... the promise of a new Godzilla film ... not to mention a big budget Godzilla film ... is something to celebrate and look forward to.

We don't care what the rest of whoever the hell your talking about thinks.

I look at it like this:

As an American Godzilla/Gojira fan, I think I speak for us all when I say we are waiting for the material to be adapted with the same tender loving care and big swinging balls of the Batman materials.

Think about it.

Batman started out a popular comic waaay back in the day but rose to world wide mainstream out of the comics success with the campy television series. It mirrors Godzilla's pattern of success pretty closely.

I look at the 1998 American Godzilla as the Burton Batman films. Not closely tied to the source material (and even taking some big liberties) and polarizing fans.

Batman is pretty well universally accepted now due to the newest Batman trilogy.

We're waiting/hoping for a similar sea change with the Godzilla property. Dark, gritty, and serious, with a respectable yet modernized bone structure of the original idea.

The people at Legendary Pictures are fans of the series and the main producer of the movie is a huge fan which is why they are making this movie in the first place. Reboots always tend to be a improvement over the last movie, so I doubt this movie will be bad as GINO.

Okay but AVP was bad because it had a weak story and Paul W.S Anderson is a awful director. I seen Monsters and I trust Edwards on the film for now. Monsters was a pretty solid film and I remember him saying that he enjoys the older films.

That's what it was for the most part. And consider that when I say "most part", you have to take into account almost 30 movies.

Heck, while the original remains as subtle, powerful, and moving an indictment of nuclear weaponry as I've ever seen -- equally as effective as any documentary on the subject -- look at Godzilla Raids Again, or King Kong vs. Godzilla. What in the hell is there to understand in those movies outside of two dudes in a costume wrestling?

Godzilla was often used as a way to say something. He started that way, and over the years there were movies where they went back to that, but of all of his movies?

Toho missed the point long before American Gaijin did.

This is like saying Batman is about Batnipples and silly one liners because of the Joel Schumacher films.
Gojira has gone through a lot different eras and versions since it was created but the core concept has always been there. But American Gaijin Barbarians dont get that concept, to them it's just some silly monster movie and FROM THAT they trey to extrapolate something which is why they fail. They try to make a "more serious movie" from what they think Gojira is when that serious movie already exist, the base that they can work with has always been there.

It really isn't.

Schumacher made two movies. Out of Batman's however-many-decades long legacy.

If we went through Godzilla's entire film back-catalogue, how many could we truly argue were more than just people in rubber suits wrestling?

I don't agree that Godzilla's just dudes wrestling, but of his 58 year history? It's been a pretty damn big part of who he is. Not the best part, but a big one.

It's less a case of people misunderstanding as it is of people centering their priorities on the wrong parts of the franchise.

Sil made a pretty good argument.

I fail to see how Godzilla vs Monster Zero (an example) is supposed to be serious. TOHO did forget what made Godzilla special. Once they started with the entire Godzilla VS so and so, it stopped being something serious about the horrors of nuclear war, and more into a monster fight.

Don't get me wrong, I love the shit out of The Big G, but Sil has got a point here.

We're agreeing an awful lot this evening.

I hope the same thing for this Godzilla movie as I do for the new Bond film; to make him relevant again.

The problem is, until we drop a nuke again, I don't think there'll ever be the same gravitas as the original film. There was something so sincere ingrained into that movie that I have little hope that anyone will find something as important to say with the guy.

That's why he started wrestling. He only worked on his own because he stood for something, he embodied something, as improbable as it sounds, larger than himself, yet at the same time more personal.

Failing that? ... bring on the roller coaster ride of carnage. Because if Godzilla can't say something meaningful, at least he can blow shit up good.

The only way to get close to making Godzilla be taken more seriously is to have the human characters be well developed. The Human element needs to be taken into greater consideration, because to be honest, Godzilla 1954 is the only one that I have seen that has done this perfectly. The only other films in the franchise that I see that have done a good job with character development are GMK, and...excuse me for even typing this...Final Wars...omg, I recant that already, it didn't do a good job, but it did focus a lot more with the Human characters in a long time, other than GMK. But Final Wars really is a poor example with what I am trying to say here.

Is a part of the history but it's not the main part. And that's the problem when it's seen by people that dont know the history. In fact most people probably rate the brainy Gojira flicks as sucky while the silly ones as the best because people dont understand the concept, people cant get passed the suits so when there are movies that are just silly stuff they are alright with it.

I always thought a large scale remake of Godzilla: King of the Monsters in the same vein as Jackson's King Kong would be great if done well. A period piece epic that retains the symbolism and nuclear terror of Godzilla. Seeing that scale of destruction with today's effects has the potential to be incredible and disturbing.

Who hates Godzilla? There's nothing to hate. It's goofy fun at times and can seem silly but hating it seems a bit extreme.

This is true in my world as well, most respect what Godzilla stands for and is, but do understand there has been some bad movies with him in it.

I honestly have never encountered anyone who downright hated Godzilla. Maybe people who found him goofy, but that's all.

I would be fairly happy if they used this design for the American movie.

A Godzilla trailer is being shown at Comic Con right now. ;)

QuoteThe footage pans across a city that has been utterly destroyed.

We hear a voice over a radio talking about the end of the world.

It looks like another giant creature's body is in the wreckage.

We hear the classic Godzilla scream.

From the smoke, we see something enormous. We're following a camera up Godzilla's back, showing his scales.

We see his face, but it's almost a silhouette.

It looks a LOT like the classic Godzilla design but with a slightly fatter face.

2014 seems more likely IMO.

Summer 2014 is unlikely with Amazing Spider-Man 2, Transformers 4, X-Men: First Class 2, Ninja Turtles, Captain America 2, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, and How to Train Your Dragon 2 coming out that summer. I say late 2014 or summer 2015.

I just really hope it's the angle that makes him look that bulky and fat, and not the design itself.

Same here. But beyond that, I am insanely excited that this is happening. Godzilla was one of the first movies I can remember seeing, and the franchise has been with me my whole life. Really hope this does the big guy justice.

And I think they hinted at Godzilla fighting another creature a few months back.
Title: Re: Godzilla Remake and other Movie Monster Discussion
Post by: Ratchetcomand on Jul 14, 2012, 11:53:59 PM
It's the best that they can do since Legendary said that they don't plan to release the teaser online. It's too bad that they show off no official design, no story info or a release date.

Yep, read somewhere else that it looked like a centipede creature, multiple arms... beetle...definitely a bug.

I'd honestly be a little surprised if Legendary did get permission to include their own monster. Tristar wanted to do that with the gryphon, but from what I've read, Toho went "..No".

Bug like? Multiple arms? Centipede like? The only monster that has the potential to be all three of those is....

But a beetle? Maybe megalon? The only long creature to be centipede like is the serpent manda.
Title: Re: Godzilla Remake and other Movie Monster Discussion
Post by: KNIGHT on Jul 15, 2012, 12:10:49 AM
I wouldn't mind seeing Megalon appear, but in my opinion at least, it wouldn't be the same unless they get Gigan and Jet Jaguar as well.



Also, is it just me getting my hopes up, or does the (Head?) of the Godzilla trailer pic looks very similar to this? http://godzilla.wikia.com/wiki/SokogekiGoji (http://godzilla.wikia.com/wiki/SokogekiGoji)

Well I read on tohokingdom that someone said that it looked like the Godzilla cameo from ALWAYS 2...which was pretty much a different take on the GMK Godzilla look...so, there's a chance we might get the GMK look...or at least a similar one, because everyone is mentioning that Godzilla looks bulky as well.

EDIT- Although, I do not have the Godzilla trailer, here is the description from the trailer shown:

Quote
The narration is from Robert Oppenheimer:

"We knew the world would not be the same...Few people laughed...Few people cried.
Most were silent....I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture...the Bhagavad-Git... takes on his multi-armed form"

(This is were we see the other, dead creature)

...I have become death. I am Destroyer of worlds."

That's where we see Godzilla's face and the logo

He's taken a break from the Galaxy.

Even though I think Monsters looks really dumb (I can just imagine the director conceiving the film: "I know--I'm like, gonna make my own District 9, but this time the aliens won't be black South Africans, they'll be Mexicans!!!"), I have a soft spot for Godzilla, so I'm actually looking forward to this. Even though he'll likely be all CGI (despite retaining a faithful design), which kind of defeats the point.

Where is Omega? he should be all over this :P
He's taken a break from the Galaxy.

Even though I think Monsters looks really dumb (I can just imagine the director conceiving the film: "I know--I'm like, gonna make my own District 9, but this time the aliens won't be black South Africans, they'll be Mexicans!!!"), I have a soft spot for Godzilla, so I'm actually looking forward to this. Even though he'll likely be all CGI (despite retaining a faithful design), which kind of defeats the point.

I've never really minded CG when done right, it gets too much bashing. And since this is a Godzilla film, I'm pretty sure they'll make sure the CG is top notch. As long as they stay faithful to the design I'm happy.

Didn't like Monsters (which is surprising), but this looks VERY promising. Just hoping Big G ain't too fat looking as those silhoulette images kind of look. If only this came out with Pacific Rim...although the world would implode.

Apparently one of the rumors is that they recycled the idea of Godzilla 3-D canceled in 1980. In this mini-movie, godzilla destroying San Francisco, after discovering that the baby Godzilla was dead, because a meteor off during an operation between American and Russian spies during the Cold War conflict. Godzilla had the breath, but behaved like Gorgo. And it was dead as Rhedussaros, but with nuclear missiles in the prison of Alcatraz.
But this is a rumor.
We also hear that giant dead trailer, would be Mothra, or other insect, and King Ghidora well as the new Hedorah, Deathla.
But remember, these are only unconfirmed rumors

I retired early from the internet because I remember last year comic con waiting for Godzilla and he was a no show.

Now I come to find the internet completely destroyed ... fans cumming in the rubble ... wandering around muttering to themselves. I go deeper. Like a lone survivor of a tsunami ... picking up the pieces ... the first news ... the teaser poster ... the leaked shot of Godzilla ... all debris left over from the wave that I missed.

There is a new cinematic reason to be alive right now my friends.

Seems like as good a time and place as any to debut some new test footage I did Friday.

We knew the world would not be the same.

Most people were silent.

I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad-Gita;
Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince
that he should do his duty, and to impress him,
takes on his multi-armed form and says,
'Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.'

I suppose we all thought that, one way or another.

With the footage to this remaining elusive despite all the people with cameras there, I 'm kind of reminded of back in '04 when the WB/Legendary had the Comic Con that year a reel of preview footage for BATMAN BEGINS. According to what I read, the studio had security there in night vision goggles of all things to make sure no one was recording the prtesentation of footage when it ran. I could honestly see some guys coming round telling the blokes to turn off the cameras before the previews.

Also, whilke not as bold or riviting, lets hop into the Wayback Machine ,and take a look at the announcemnt trailer for Tri-Star's attempt at doing an American Godzilla flick. The one talked about in the trailer was the original proposal written by Ted Elliot and Terry Rossio. Which Jan De Bont fresh off SPEED was intended to direct before Tri-Star shot things down with issues over the budget. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZpF_8lvSv-I#ws (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZpF_8lvSv-I#ws)
Here's the story of of how things went down, before the project was scrapped before Devlin and Emmerich were brought on to give it their try.http://www.kaijuphile.com/rodansroost/scrapyard/godzillavsgryphon.shtml (http://www.kaijuphile.com/rodansroost/scrapyard/godzillavsgryphon.shtml)

Wel obviously not. But let's face it, if they just jumped straight into the Showa/Heisei Sci-Fi monster melee brawls, it probably wouldn't make much money in the long run. They need to take a path that gets more than just the Godzilla fanbase interested. And a good way for them to do that, is to go back to the roots of the original Godzilla.

Godzilla IS realistic, well.. Somewhat. While I don't think a giant regenerating atomic lizard would be the result of an atomic bomb, they have believable explanations and scientific data to support things in the movies. Godzilla only got unrealistic when space monsters joined in.

Umm....why?

Gareth has essentially put himself in a creative box, told the fanbase that it can expect some of the most memorable and beloved characters in the Godzilla pantheon to be given the shaft and will be effectively ignoring some of the most compelling bits of the Godzilla mythology in favor of trying to whore this movie out to people who like the Dark Knight.

This is why the entire Comic Con panel sent my expectations of the film plummeting. He's pretty much just admitted he's taking a Batman Begins approach to the Godzilla franchise. Stripping out all the bits of the mythology that are interesting, endearing and iconic and replacing it with something bland, dark and dreary in an attempt to prove that Godzilla is serious business to people who are just going to turn their noses up to Godzilla on principal no matter how "grounded in reality" he makes the film. Make no mistake Nolan got away with it not but not because realism is some kind of magical spell that automatically makes every movie successful but rather the strength of his actors, the fact that the scripts were solid, Heath Ledger's memorable Joker performance and the Internet Nerd Community's feelings of vindication when Batman Begins was a financial and critical success. Despite the fact that the Nolanverse is basically the Batman mythos with all the cool bits taken out and replaced with Christian Bale's hilariously cheesy Batman Growl and The Tumbler.

Gareth Edwards has cast no actors, we don't even know if he has a finished script yet and he's having the future of a franchise with far more people who loathe it than Batman ever did being put in his hands and so far all his comments have telegraphed to me that he doesn't know what he's doing. Batman is not Godzilla, the two properties are nothing alike. Trying to take a BB approach to Godzilla is going to have disastrous consequences. Even if nerd culture's current obsession with everything being dark, gritty and realistic does manage to make the film a financial success so what? What do we have? A movie with a bunch of weary, dead-eyed jackasses wandering through a destroyed city giving speeches about how bad America is while Godzilla violently and sadistically dismembers some non descript giant centipede to show everyone who beat us Godzilla fans up in middle school for liking Godzilla that Godzilla is scary and brutal and not cheesy and goofy at all?  Yeah, the Dark Knight fanboys will wank to that, some of the younger Godzilla fans will be able to pull it out when they get into internet flame wars with Godzilla haters. Gareth Edwards will be rich, his ego will get even bigger and Hollywood will get the memo that as long as they make it dark and violent enough they can slap a brand name onto any brooding generic action drama, it'll be a huge hit, and the fanboys won't even send them death threats over it.

TL;DR. I'd rather have one big budget Godzilla film that does the big guy and his rogues gallery justice and flops than a trilogy of big budget Godzilla films that cater to the lowest common dominator and offers the mythology nothing of worth.

"I'm gonna make this movie all ultra realistic and with no sci-fi in it! Weeeeeeeee!"

Well, this officially ruins the new Godzilla movie for me.

He just means no stuff like Aliens from outer space or anything that falls under that line.

Which in my eyes is a good thing.

Umm....why?

Gareth has essentially put himself in a creative box, told the fanbase that it can expect some of the most memorable and beloved characters in the Godzilla pantheon to be given the shaft and will be effectively ignoring some of the most compelling bits of the Godzilla mythology in favor of trying to whore this movie out to people who like the Dark Knight.

This is why the entire Comic Con panel sent my expectations of the film plummeting. He's pretty much just admitted he's taking a Batman Begins approach to the Godzilla franchise. Stripping out all the bits of the mythology that are interesting, endearing and iconic and replacing it with something bland, dark and dreary in an attempt to prove that Godzilla is serious business to people who are just going to turn their noses up to Godzilla on principal no matter how "grounded in reality" he makes the film. Make no mistake Nolan got away with it not but not because realism is some kind of magical spell that automatically makes every movie successful but rather the strength of his actors, the fact that the scripts were solid, Heath Ledger's memorable Joker performance and the Internet Nerd Community's feelings of vindication when Batman Begins was a financial and critical success. Despite the fact that the Nolanverse is basically the Batman mythos with all the cool bits taken out and replaced with Christian Bale's hilariously cheesy Batman Growl and The Tumbler.

Gareth Edwards has cast no actors, we don't even know if he has a finished script yet and he's having the future of a franchise with far more people who loathe it than Batman ever did being put in his hands and so far all his comments have telegraphed to me that he doesn't know what he's doing. Batman is not Godzilla, the two properties are nothing alike. Trying to take a BB approach to Godzilla is going to have disastrous consequences. Even if nerd culture's current obsession with everything being dark, gritty and realistic does manage to make the film a financial success so what? What do we have? A movie with a bunch of weary, dead-eyed jackasses wandering through a destroyed city giving speeches about how bad America is while Godzilla violently and sadistically dismembers some non descript giant centipede to show everyone who beat us Godzilla fans up in middle school for liking Godzilla that Godzilla is scary and brutal and not cheesy and goofy at all?  Yeah, the Dark Knight fanboys will wank to that, some of the younger Godzilla fans will be able to pull it out when they get into internet flame wars with Godzilla haters. Gareth Edwards will be rich, his ego will get even bigger and Hollywood will get the memo that as long as they make it dark and violent enough they can slap a brand name onto any brooding generic action drama, it'll be a huge hit, and the fanboys won't even send them death threats over it.

TL;DR. I'd rather have one big budget Godzilla film that does the big guy and his rogues gallery justice and flops than a trilogy of big budget Godzilla films that cater to the lowest common dominator and offers the mythology nothing of worth.

Because from my experience of aliens in Godzilla movies so far, I haven't liked it.
I don't mind alien monsters, but the alien races that want to take over earth irritate me, they are irrelevant in the Godzilla storyline in my eyes.

nobody's going to pay for a movie that's going to flop.

and you gotta get in the mind of the common moviegoer. as stupid as this individual is, he's going to be the one that's going to pay, so he kinda deserves to know what's going on. you can't make movies and slap a "do not watch if you haven't seen X, Y, and Z first" banner in the poster or trailer.

introducing a new trow away antagonist is pretty much the only thing that can be solved quickly and leave enough time and breathing space for Godzilla to be correctly developed.

We need to get rid of the wholly ridiculous campy feeling that nearly all of the Godzilla films have done since the very first Godzilla film.

As much as I was born and raised on it, and as much as I absolutely love it, it needs to go for this movie. I believe it was AICN that said that the feeling of it was what a true post 9/11 film would look like, take what you will about that, if it's going to get away with something like that, then this movie needs to be as serious as it can get.

Yeah, I say jettisoning the sillier elements is a good idea. Not to mention the fact that a fair portion of Godzilla's rogues gallery has been done to f**king death. For example, I don't want to see Mothra or Ghidorah again for a very long time because of how much they've been used.

BTW, Nolan's Batman films succeeded because they are genuinely that good.

you know the one thing that Cloverfield did good that completely sold the feeling of looming, unstoppable power the monster? it was shot almost completely from ground level. there's no fly overs or any shots made at the scale of it like in the previous godzilla, it's always a greater, grander force, it's always out of the scope of the characters, it's a lifeform that exists at a level in which man is not only insignificant, but irrelevant. as soon as it was revealed that shattered, but for most of the movie, it worked wonderfully.

that's what Godzilla needs. to stay with the people, to see his presence like people would, and to demonstrate how far beyond us human ants he really is. it's a moving mountain on the horizon like in the original, or a collapsing building absorbing our field of view, never a creature a man can fully behold.

What some people don't seem to realize is from what we know, all gareth is doing is taking a Heisei Godzilla approach. Bringing Godzilla back in a more serious, believable tone; Much like 1985 did. Just because we don't get some elements that made Godzilla good in the first film, doesn't mean we never will. If it does good, it will likely get sequels, and then we may get some of those aspects to play.

As for the whole "Dark and gritty isn't part of the mythos" thing.. Bullshit, yes it is. It was the basis for the original Godzilla, and  a basic starting point for reboots.

That's another aspect the original had. It used a lot of low angles and shots, which made Godzilla look massive. They were limited by the technology of that time, obviously, but you could tell that was what they were trying to go for.

Man I hope you weren't around in '84/'85 when they rebooted Godzilla, cos you must be having the worst 'nam flashbacks to when almost the exact same things you're bitching about happened before.

No Sci-fi doesnt isnt really bad, and if this is the start of a series im sure later those laser tanks that always appear in the movie will be developed. The first time Gojira appears should be a surprise and no one should be prepared for it, it should just be conventional weapons.

If this guy, is that bug creature with multiple "arms" then it's a good chance that Rodan might end up coming out in this movie, is what Hellspawn is trying to say.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that there will be no other recognizable creatures from Toho's Rogues gallery of monsters. The reason being is that they charge extra licenses for each creature. So much extra in fact that it's not economically logical to re-imagine an existing Godzilla foe when you can invent your own unique creature at half the cost.

Oh, of course. What everyone needs to keep in mind is that this is just a conceptual teaser trailer. There are going to be monsters in this movie besides Godzilla...possibly just ONE other one, this teaser just went on to confirm that Godzilla won't be the only badass in town, and doesn't necessarily mean that the creature in that trailer is even a character that is recognizable as a TOHO character.

Quote from: RazorSlash on Jul 16, 2012, 11:38:06 PMI'm not saying the movie is going to be bad, I'm just saying it's not going to live up to the expectations that it will be the single best movie ever made, as people are seriously suggesting.

Are there people seriously suggesting that? Where?

I feel like it would be very difficult to have battra without Mothra.



...Though considering when Tristar made their movie, Toho gave them a choice of Mothra or King Ghidorah out of the Toho monsters they could use (For  price)

Maybe this time, they actually did get the rights to Mothra for their movie..


Or maybe this is all fan speculation and we don't know anything.  :laugh:

There doesn't exist a perfect Godzilla design in my mind. I like certain aspects from certain suits and the way it's shot and the performance also plays into it.

Something between the 1985 (Return of Godzilla) and the GMK design suits me. Dem white eyes man.

That picture from DA just looks like the Tri-Star Zilla on steroids to me. The avian/dino bone layout ... the forward sweep of the back plates.  :-\

Ah! I've been looking for a larger/clearer version of that picture. Thanks.

I like the head and the armor look ... but the bulk ... and again, with that dinosaur stance (which I feel may be unavoidable at this point.)

Some stills from my tinkering with After Effects while being in a Godzilla mood. The big G makes landfall in Virginia Beach and promptly makes short work of the ocean front. Full motion videos to come.

I don't think Legendary will end up using a dinosaurian pose. They know how much people disliked that aspect of Zilla, and if they're as smart as I think (or hope) they are, they'll avoid it.

One has to wonder over the japanese Godzilla and the effect he should have on the planet. He emits radiation from his body constantly so, by that very nature he should be poisoning the oceans and killing off the ocean life in it. That water would in turn infect many continents around the globe from the tides causing massive radiation hot spots all around the coast. And even if we pretend Godzilla only wrecked Japan once or twice, the damage from his nuclear breath and probably rupturing the nuclear plants would kill a good percentage of any survivors in a death count higher than Hiroshima.

Good point, had that happen, it'd be worldwide human extinction with no life on earth.

Technichally, Godzilla himself doesn't solely emit radiation. Godzilla feeds off radiation and nuclear energy. A good example was in Godzilla 2000, where he was targeting reactors. When he ruptures them, the reason it doesn't kill so many people is because it's absorbed into Godzilla himself through some unknown means. Any leftover is going to do some damage, but not as much as one would think. The oceans too are relatively safe. Most of the time he's underwater, he's dormant. His body, which is essentially a biological nuclear reactor, simply shuts down to conserve energy. It's why every time he seems to resurface, he attacks a city; All he's doing is feeding, then sustaining himself, then going dormant until he feels the need to resurface and feed again.

As for the nuclear breath, it would take up a lot of his reserve energy, so it's likely he can re absorb it in the same way he feeds off of a reactor.

I love Godzilla like most on this forum, but if he looks like either of the two pics above then im out because that is not Godzilla which to me it would look more like a remake of the 98' movie then of the original Godzilla.  Please....please dont let him look like one of the above.

Quote" UPDATE: Let me just clarify. No one was allowed to record the trailers/clips that were shown at Comic-Con. If you were caught recording, you would've been escorted out and probably blacklisted from the con. Basically, you just had to be there."

Uh....how many times have leaked Comic-Con footage made it's way to the internet? Plenty. This dude was a little paranoid as he didn't want to be "blacklisted" and lose his chance of going to CC ever again.  I say bitch please to your "just had to be there" line...jerk.

I'd say he has a legitimate concern. I mean, there are plenty of times footage never made it online. This year alone we didn't see Ant-Man, Iron Man 3, or Godzilla, and I'm sure there was probably more. I remember the same back in 2010 when I was desperately searching for Captain America footage.

Personally, I hope that Godzilla isn't just a villain in this film, but at least has a more complex role. I was raised with Godzilla in the hero role, that's sort of how I view him, and Gamera has had some truly mind-blowingly good films as a protagonist whereas the one modern film that is considered a true classic, GMK, has Godzilla as the villain. I'd like to see Godzilla more as a neutral figure of destruction against the mistakes of mankind and a more evil foe, such as Deathla or something.

I like a lot about this design. The main problem I have with it is the arms. They look way too humanoid with the bulging bicep muscles and tricep muscles. In that stance if you look at the arms it almost looks to me like when he turned to face you he would have huge chiselled pecs. Wait this makes it sound Like I hate it. If I ignore the body builder arms I love it. Head could be a tad bit bigger and the mouth a jaws a tad bit smaller but it's awesome. Actually with those changes I would be ecstatic to see this on the big screen.

Well from what I read, it does say that Big G turns his head to the side, because we see most of his back, so he is turning his head, which could very well mean you are right.

Spoiler

The beach goers not reacting at all to Godzilla as he lurches out of the surf and breaks a hotel on his way to the highway is realistic. Everyone around here is so self absorbed in their own little worlds to notice a titanic beast like that. Unless his presence blocks their cell phone reception. Then the gloves come off.

Honestly though Godzilla '98 and Final Wars were both pretty terrible movies.

I hope the new movie has more in common with the golden age of Toho sci-fi and Shusuke Kaneko's more recent kaiju films.

Could be.
First thought for me was 'generic arthropoid fodder villain'. People that have seen the comic con studf have described some kind of centipede or insect (iirc). But you could as well be right.

Well since this is the whine thread...

Honestly though Godzilla '98 and Final Wars were both pretty terrible movies.

I hope the new movie has more in common with the golden age of Toho sci-fi and Shusuke Kaneko's more recent kaiju films.

Yeah.... all the stuff in between those two movies was good.

Except Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla :P

I agree about the golden age and definitely Shusuke Kaneko, hoping Yoshimitu Banno's influence will be positive as well as I'm quite the fan of Godzilla vs. the Smog Monster, warts and all

Just about.

The SOS model was re-used in Final Wars but not to the same affect. 

GMK had an aggressive, wasp-like look, which was a definite inspiration for SOS (along with the original). 

Heisei Mothra was really plushy and wasn't all that convincing. Then you have Mothra Leo which wasn't much better with the numerous forms and beams he had.

The original Mothra was scaled down and given a bigger head for Mothra vs. Godzilla. The same prop appeared in Godzilla vs. the Sea Monster, but for the most part they went with the larvae because they were easier to operate.

Varan would be an odd choice, one that I don't think would ring well with fans. I'm pretty sure he's seen as a cheap Godzilla imitation.

Title: Re: Godzilla Remake and other Movie Monster Discussion
Post by: Gilfryd on Sep 13, 2012, 04:35:54 PM
Well, it depends if Legendary has access to Toho's Top 5 outside Godzilla (Mothra, King Ghidorah, Mechagodzilla and Rodan). Ghidorah would make sense to me as he is Godzilla's archenemy, after that Rodan. Mothra and Mecha-G seem more like sequel material.

When Sony was trying to make Godzilla back in '94 they couldn't use Ghidorah or the others I listed but maybe that has changed. In place of Ghidorah they had the Gryphon. And then ultimately in place of a cool Godzilla movie we got GINO...

I'd totally be open to smaller kaiju like Anguirus or Varan in the movie though, especially after being thrown out of GMK. I think seeing any Toho kaiju would be great.

But if he's really fighting an original, insectoid creation I guess we'll have to wait and see. Maybe it was unique to that proof of concept footage and we'll see something else. That wasn't even the final Godzilla design.

LOL, Godzilla can't be taken down that easily. Godzilla has been blown up to the point where his heart only remained, and he still lived, and he's also been able to survive a Black hole...which was unable to take him down...and finally, he survived freaking falling into a VOLCANO!

The fact that Godzilla can survive this shit, means nothing short of the Oxygen Destroyer can take him down...also, his own radiation he has been building up inside of himself, which would cause the entire planet to die.

If you want to get REALLY technical, in Godzilla against Mechagodzilla and Tokyo SOS, the oxygen destroyer didn't even do that. Just reduced him to a skeleton that couldn't move on it's own. Once he was put into Mechagodzilla, his "Soul" kinda still lived.

Well, when you put it that way, Godzilla fighting off the enemy as an eternal soul pretty much closes the debate. Godzilla wins.

Technically, no. Compared to their body sizes, were Godzilla to shrink down to hulk's size, he would probably be weaker. Since Godzilla is so massive, though, his strength surpasses The Hulk's.

The only advantage I can find that any super hero might actually have over Godzilla is speed and size. They could probably dodge most of Godzilla's attacks... At the cost of the landscapes and cities they're fighting in.


Granted, we also have to keep in mind: This was a Marvel comic. Of course they're going to have the heroes win against Godzilla.

..Just wish it were in a smarter sounding way.... I don't even know who Hercules is (marvel comics-wise)

That Monster movie had nothing to do with Monsters, i dont even know how he got the job based on that movie.

Had nothing to do with monsters? The whole movie had to do with monsters. The damn border between America and Mexico was pretty much larger because of the whole infestation that lead to the monsters suddenly appearing in the Infected Zone. People have to take boats to go around it. Others risk their lives by going through it and facing the dangers of these "extraterrestrial" creatures. The main characters encounter these things more than once, and at one point their entire "escort" crew gets slaughtered because of them.

There are many points that should tell you that this movie definitely had something to do with monsters, I have no idea how you fail to see that when the entire movie shows you what is going on and why. The beginning of the film shows you the damn monster attack, and in the "hotel" before our characters leave in order to get through the infected zone; the news itself on the small tv on the wall is even showing you what is going on with these monsters.

Again, how is it that this film had nothing to do with the Monsters in question?


With the last part of your post dealing with how he got the job for the film. As if a monster movie is all you need in order to be considered for the job. One look at Monsters clearly shows you that the man knows how to deal with characters, the monsters may not be a huge part of the film (although they are clearly there in more ways than one), but the rest of the movie is proof enough that Gareth Edwards is a good enough choice, and not one based off of nothing.

Basing off your implication that he isn't right for the job by saying that the "monsters movie had nothing to do with monsters." Is simply not true, and is probably based on the probability of you not liking the movie at all, rather than what the director is capable of.

I'm very excited for this new Godzilla movie, however the choice of director worries me. Monsters sucked so bad.

In my wildest dreams Godzilla 2014 is directed by a double team of Kazuki Ōmori and Rupert Wyatt.

Anyway here is my favourite picture of the big G!

Sounds like the kids wanted moar monsterz! :laugh:

But I feel it's a well done movie based on several objective standards.  Just because it's slow and has actual characters doesn't mean it's bad, especially in this day and age of crap ass writing and non-existent character development.  A true breath of fresh air and the direction film needs to go.

It's no Jurassic Park, but the monster scenes are well done and tense, and there's a lot of mystery throughout the film.  Godzilla should, by all rights, be much more action-packed than Monsters, but so long as they pair such excellent characters and dialogue with the appropriate amount of action and smashing, we should have a winner.

Kinda. I LOVE a good monster movie with great human characters. This is one of the reasons why I LOVE Cloverfield. I'm not opposed to a Kaiju movie focused completly on its human cast. But this cast was awful. They acted like whiny self absorbed jerks. Really. Anytime something big or dramatic happened, like the scene where they found the massive wall acting as a boarder against the aliens, they ruin it with lame dialog and stupid plot chocies. I wanted to focus on the civilians we see in the infected area. I wanted to see how they lived around this horrible disaster. How do you rasie a family in the shadow of these creatures? But no whe had to focus on the rich pretty kids talking about beautiful these creatures are (dispite KILLING EVERYONE THESE CHARACTERS WERE TRAVELING) just because they were mating. Awful.

That Monster movie had nothing to do with Monsters, i dont even know how he got the job based on that movie.

Had nothing to do with monsters? The whole movie had to do with monsters. The damn border between America and Mexico was pretty much larger because of the whole infestation that lead to the monsters suddenly appearing in the Infected Zone. People have to take boats to go around it. Others risk their lives by going through it and facing the dangers of these "extraterrestrial" creatures. The main characters encounter these things more than once, and at one point their entire "escort" crew gets slaughtered because of them.

There are many points that should tell you that this movie definitely had something to do with monsters, I have no idea how you fail to see that when the entire movie shows you what is going on and why.

You can replace them with zombies and it would have zero effect on the movie. You can put werewolves, vampires,  big gorillas, and the movie would be exactly the same.

The movie was about two people annoying each other as they tried to get home. The monsters was just the setting they were going through to reach their goal. This movie should have really been called "Two People Walking."

Lol @ dat^, but the monsters did have some bits of their biology and other interesting things in there.  I thought it was a nice mix between that and the human dynamic, and left the monsters quite ambiguous.

It reminds me of The Mist: Light.  Was quite slow, and played through some emotional themes pretty well, but it almost felt District 9 at times.  I think it's a good choice rather than another Emmerich Godzilla.

Come on, man, you dont know what my "liking" is. Just because i say the monsters are just a setting it doesn't mean you know whether i like the movie or not. I do have a problem with how the movie was being sold, heck, the title is MONSTERS and there's a bunch of giant octopus walking around.... from that who would have gotten the impression that 90% of the movie is about a photographer trying to bring some chick back to the US?

I put the question to you, where you expecting the movie that you ended up seeing?

And that part two just sounds like it should be called, "Two Soldiers Walking."   :P

I really didn't think Monsters was very good - seemed pretty damn bad to me. Seemed like a lot of people tried to put more cerebral value to it then was actually there. However - and it is a big however - I went in being very bias. When I go and see a monster movie I expect, for brevity sake, destruction. So I don't know how fair an opinion like mine (or people who think as such) is.

It's not even the same Kong, so it's not like he suddenly gained in size for the movie.

Come on, man, you dont know what my "liking" is. Just because i say the monsters are just a setting it doesn't mean you know whether i like the movie or not. I do have a problem with how the movie was being sold, heck, the title is MONSTERS and there's a bunch of giant octopus walking around.... from that who would have gotten the impression that 90% of the movie is about a photographer trying to bring some chick back to the US?

I put the question to you, where you expecting the movie that you ended up seeing?

And that part two just sounds like it should be called, "Two Soldiers Walking."   :P

I personally expected it to be much worse, some terrible B-movie with giant CG monsters running amok and idiot people trying to survive. :laugh:  The movie had a surprising amount of depth and character, and to me that made what few Monsters we did see in the film mean much more, because they were in a quality film with solid performances and a great effort by the cast and crew.

It was far from an action/horror/monster film, but it did have monsters in it that I actually gave a f**k about because I could bear to watch the rest of the film. ;D

The Kong in King Kong vs. Godzilla is just a different version. There's no connection to the 1933 original. I haven't seen the Japanese cut of KKVG, but in the American release it's speculated that Kong grew that large due to the island berries, but I don't think they were radioactive. They are highly addictive though, as shown by Kong and the Giant Octopus' dependence to them. Kong's lightning powers come from an earlier draft of the story by Willis O'Brien where Kong fought a giant Frankenstein creature, they just mixed things around.

Although I think Cloverfield and Monsters should've swap titles.

You're right, I don't know what your "liking" is, so I apologize for that. Anyway, on to the question you posed to me. I did pretty much saw the movie I was expecting. Just because the title of the movie is Monsters didn't mean to me that this is all we were going to get. Watching the trailer when it first came out, and doing some reading in the early months of the announcement of the film...I pretty much had all the info I needed about what the film was going to be about. So yes, I did see the movie I was expecting to see. I wasn't disappointed in the slightest, and when I heard that Edwards was given the roel of director for Godzilla, well I knew then, and I know now, that Godzilla is in good hands.

Geez. That's certainly imaginative.

KKvG's Kong looked soooooo atrocious. It's an abomination in comparison to the original clay model masterpiece.

I think I liked Monsters predominantly for its tone. It wasn't too bleak, it was contemplative and quiet and opted to go for the beatiful-vista style of photography rather than the dark and grimy style. It added a dimension to what could have been really generic.

Also, I love the soundtrack:

The short answer is studio money and design bias.

Godzilla 2000 was marketed as the 'anti-American-Godzilla' to Godzilla fans who felt scorned by the Tri-Star effort. There was an air of "watch the masters at work now" ... so they went for those dollars. Meanwhile the new sexed up Japanese suit design reflected more similarities to the American creature design. As universally panned as the American Godzilla was, the creature design was still fantastic. So elements of that work bled into future designs. 

Godzilla's foe in Godzilla 2000 (Orga) himself bore more than a passing resemblance to the American Godzilla and it says a lot that even as their battled progresses, Orga began to assimilate and copy Godzilla. It was more subtle than the slams in GMK where they make reference to the rumor that Godzilla attacked New York "But experts had their doubts." But they really went full retard getting their point across in Godzilla: Final Wars.

Hi guys glad to see a lot of Godzilla fans in here! I cannot tell you how excited I am for this movie as a life long G-fan. Ever since i was a kid its been my dream to see a trilogy of good American Godzilla films!
I've got some questions for you guys if you dont mind. Id like to know everyones opinions on these.

1) How excited are you for this movie?

2) How much do you think it can/will gross?

3) Will this be (along with Superman) Warner Bros new franchise at least until Batman or Justice League?

Now some of the things I've read that puzzle me having nothing to do with the movie but actual Godzilla fans. On one big forum Toho Kingdom and a couple of facebook groups I've seen some fans express more excitement for Pacific Rim than Godzilla.

Idc if Godzilla gets made since we have Pacific Rim.
Idc if Godzilla comes to Comic Con or not (2012) as long as we get Pacific Rim.
Godzilla wont get a big budget like Pacific Rim.
Pacific Rim will make more money at the box office.
Pacific Rim will be Legendarys new franchise. Godzilla will only get one film.
Godzilla has been done. Time for something new to take its place

Why are the Godzilla fans like that? Every general movie lover I've talked to has said they are very excited for Godzilla but have NO clue what Pacific Rim even is. Now there have been Godzilla fans who argued against all that to the other G-fans but they quickly get attacked by them saying "They are just close minded fan boys who wont accept something new."
Apparently those people consider themselves "Kaiju" fans in general not just Godzilla fans.
To me that would be like people on here saying they like Aliens in general instead of actual Alien/Predator fans.

So what are you're guys thoughts on this? I'd like to know your opinions! I'm a Godzilla fan boy through and through so no giant monster movie will EVER top Godzilla for me!

That's largely it. Godzilla 2000 was fundamentally made to surf on the success of the 1998 film -- which made the name of the character big again. It was on everyone's mouth, and despite the largely negative fan reception, it still managed to introduce the series to an enormous number of people (and fundamentally it made them get into it). It would have been dumb for TOHO not to take a chance like that -- so they produced a new film: and this film featured a decidedly reptilian Godzilla and antagonist, and also similar scenes (underwater shot of Godzilla swimming comes to mind, just for example).

Smart marketing move; not what some fans like to label it as.

On the subject of G2K it makes sense to post this
http://www.scifijapan.com/articles/2012/09/08/godzilla-2000-production-notes/ (http://www.scifijapan.com/articles/2012/09/08/godzilla-2000-production-notes/)

^ It's a little enthusiastic in some places but it gets the point across. Godzilla at the time was still popular in Japan - very different now - and with an American Godzilla sequel on hold Toho took the oppurtunity to bring back theirs in that period. When it became evident that Sony was not going forward with another GINO Toho decided to continue their 'Millennium' series until GMK, and when that was the success it was they made more movies until Godzilla's 50th (which turned out to be the biggest G-bomb of all time).

I wouldn't give too much credit to GINO for the visuals either... Godzilla was given a spikier look, but if anything it's a take on the suit from 1962, which was made to be much more reptilian in contrast to Kong. There have been similar underwater shots of Godzilla in films like Biollante as well.

Upping the ante in CGI makes sense because it was becoming much more common place in the industry. They were actually looking at films like Gamera 3: The Revenge of Iris when it came to elements like Godzilla's fiery orange ray. Toho was embarrassed that the Gamera trilogy managed to pull off better visuals with half the budget.

I wouldn't give too much credit to GINO for the visuals either... Godzilla was given a spikier look,
Spikier, more reptilian, teeth of alternate sizes. Given they released it theatrically in the US it made sense for the new Godzilla to resemble the American design -- what brought popularity to the name again in first place.

Quote from: Gilfryd on Oct 08, 2012, 10:58:28 PM
There have been similar underwater shots of Godzilla in films like Biollante as well.
Not the point. The scene I am talking about plays out with the same angle and camera movement. And it's just an example.

Releasing it in the US was decided after the fact so that wouldn't be it. It actually makes more sense to say Orga was more influenced by the American design...

Saying G98 made Godzilla popular again is true, in the US at least. But it made half the amount of money as ID4 and merchandise sold poorly. A sequel never happened. A cartoon was done, but it was in production the same time as the movie and only 40 episodes were commissioned.

I was one of the many G-fans disappointed by the movie, but I'm not trying to sound like a hater. GINO was intended to be a big event movie and it quickly faded away. Dean Devlin doesn't even like it much. Hollywood execs have compared it to Batman & Robin... a movie that made money but the backlash surrounding it led to bigger and better things. For Bats it was Nolan and hopefully for Godzillla it will be Edwards.

Not exactly... at the time the last Godzilla film in Japan was released in 1995. The Heisei films were highly profitable and some of the highest grossing for Toho. Godzilla was very much on peoples' minds at the time and GINO only added to it.

It's a very different story now. Giant monster films are barely being made. Movies like Final Wars, Gamera the Brave and Monster X Strikes Back have all bombed. Superhero shows like Ultraman and Kamen Rider are much more popular. If the new American Godzilla film is released and there's this surge in Godzilla that would abosolutley be the point you're making, it just wasn't the case with GINO.

QuoteBoth Creatures were.

You can think that but if anything the G2K design was about exaggerating elements already unique to the original.

QuoteID4 did not have a fanbase with hardcore purist fans spreading bad word of mouth.

It's not like ID4 received rave reviews either. And the thing about fans... we knew it would be different. I'm all for updating Godzilla. But when you have people obviously not caring and cheating their way out of rules set before them, then obviously the final result is not going to benefit.

And on top of it all it's not a very good movie in general... I know some of the Japanese films aren't perfect either but at least Godzilla looks and acts like he's supposed to. I don't know if we were expecting the GREATEST Godzilla film ever made, just the greatest LOOKING and we didn't even get that.

QuoteIt was however considered and even a script treatment was made -- the film however entered production hell and eventually died out in 2003.

Yeah exactly, and for good reason.

Give me a link where it says Millennium Godzilla was influenced by GINO first...

Emmerich and Devlin were originally offered Godzilla after Stargate and they refused. They both admitted to not liking Godzilla. After ID4 Toho asked again and this time they said yes as long as they got to do it their way. You have to understand Toho had been trying to get an American film made since the '80s, they were desperate. So in a way both parties are at fault. But it's extra sleazy on Emmerich and Devlin's side because they thought they could get away using a big property's name to their benefit and it backfired. That's why fans call it GINO.

What alienhulk said is right for the most part. An American made Godzilla film with a worldwide release would make a ton of money.

But at the same time they were wasting time and money going through several projects that never saw the light of day like Godzilla, King of the Monsters 3D and Jan de Bont's Godzilla with creatures designs by Stan Winston. With ID4 making big bucks they couldn't resist asking D&E again, but that's when they were pushed into a corner about completeing re-designing their character and whatnot. They just wanted to get things going no matter what and it bit them on the ass. At Comic-Con Gareth Edwards and Max Borenstein basically said Toho regrets doing that.

It's not like Toho was oblivious to what was going on either, they had to approve everything like the script. I understand they're a business but it's sad they'd approve of some of the things in the movie for the sake of getting a product out there. It's like Fox and Alien 3 almost.

If you say 'Hollywood execs said' I would like to see what exactly they said, because you are reporting something someone else said (3 said in one sentence, that has to account for something). Which is kind of a different situation.

The rest of the post is irrelevant to what's being discussed.

They praised the creature design and completely approved the script -- which means they read it. If they did not like it, they could easily have said 'no'. TriStar had paid too much for the rights to just let the project go, so they would have just found another director, and TOHO would have lost nothing -- they had just cashed in the money they received for the rights.

I might also mention that they did apply some changes: a third row of plates was added to the creature, and its dew finger was removed. Baby Godzillas still have it, but it is because when TOHO asked for that the scenes with them had been already shot, and there was little time for extensive reshoots and suit/animatronic modifications.

That doesn't make it true. You're looking at things that aren't really there. Even in the article I posted it's said that it was about embellishing elemets of the basic design and bringing a fantasy element to it - not making it some pseudo-realistic giant lizard raptor.

About the link - it's kinda sad you have to do this sort of thing, but I couldn't find an exact quote but there's a great book called Japan's Favorite Mon-Star with a huge chunk in it devoted to the making of the American Godzilla as well as several unmade American projects. I'll try to dig it up, but in the end I don't think I could change your mind on the matter anyway.

Good or bad, an American big budget version of Godzilla is HUGE money (and strength of brand) for Toho. A safe bet any way you slice it.

And as a 35 year old fan of all things Godzilla/Toho I am firmly grounded in the fact that a large percentage of my 'love' stems from childhood nostalgia. There are very, very few legitimately universally well rounded, well made Godzilla films. You can count them on one hand. Godzilla's enduring popularity is a testament to the concept of the character itself.

So it's ridiculous to say that the first American Godzilla film was worse than any of the others. If anything they were right on par in terms of story and acting. (Which were my biggest gripes) ... But that was due to expectations that Hollywood would inject some realism into the whole affair.

I feel like the first American made Godzilla did usher in a new generation of Godzilla fans. Perhaps the biggest load since the mid 80's ... and almost every single one of them is going to have a soft spot for this film. Warts and all.

I feel this love/hate relationship in many franchises with a generation gap. Star Wars and it's Prequels. Raiders of the Lost Ark and Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Alien and Prometheus. Older fans are jaded and have years, decades of personal expectations. Newer fans see these creations with fresh young eyes and have no emotional baggage/ties. This is what's going on with Godzilla right now. And I hope that this new American Legendary Pictures Godzilla will unite the fan masses.

Of course there will be a whole new generation of kids seeing Godzilla for the first time in 2015. And die hard Emmerich Godzilla fans will have a little more perspective into the ever changing landscape of fandom.

The discussion in here is glorious, very informative and enjoyable.  Your post was great, Bat Chain.. it peaks my nubbins about a great many things.

So many long-running franchises have failed to generate continuous praise through a generational gap, but there's two sides to this coin.  You will always have those purist fans who are extremely sensitive to any changes in the material, but the material itself can also suffer from a major identity crisis and lose the core elements that attracted the original audience in the first place.

Most of the properties you listed are guilty of this, and I would say that (a shocker to some of the more dim-witted members I've argued with ;)) Prometheus came the closest to nailing that original Alien feel, though to many it strayed too far off the mark through simple narrative mistakes.

American Godzilla sounds like the AvP of the Godzilla world, universally scorned by fans but great at bringing in new fans who will hopefully become interested in the original material that's far superior.  By 'superior,' I mean possessing the source elements that created the fanbase in the first place.

Of course that does not make it true -- but surfing on the american film's success and introduction of a large number of new fans is way more plausible than 'well we just wanted to make an accurate one'. The facts leading to that supposition are all but 'not really there'. Summed up: first japanese Godzilla film to be released in the US in 15 years (immediately after the american film); with a more reptilian Godzilla (after a Godzilla mostly based on reptiles) and  similar scenes (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bTAiCI-o-tY#ws) (and there's more).

I rewatched it during the summer and, while it isn't an amazing movie, it is definitely a lot better than it is made out to be, and has a lot of genuinely cool things in it. And it was such a huge part of my childhood, so there's that, too.

Watched it all (I think) over the course of 2 weeks. While of course a saturday morning cartoon I really loved it. The characters, the monsters (with some pretty neat ideas, I love C. Rex, King Cobra, etc. a great bestiary), the stories. Some were better than others, some needed small to big adjustments. But still. I wish I could've seen it as a child.

I hate to keep bringing this up but I don't think the hardcore fans were solely responsible for GINO's performace. They were part of it, sure, but sometimes a project just doesn't click with audiences (John Carter, Green Lantern, etc). That doesn't mean it won't have its fans but there are a plethora of factors going into the success or failure of a movie.

I think you could look at something like Burton's Planet of the Apes as an example. It was a big movie that made money but went nowhere. Later we got a better start with Rise and hopefully Godzilla will receive a smart, sci-fi action reboot too.

Are you saying Godzilla 98 did or didn't click with general audiences? Because I'd argue it didn't. Even they hated it.

Agreed, these are really cool! Thank you so much for posting them! I especially like the one that gives a good view of the ceiling from which Mothra hangs, it really gives a sense of scale to things and just how much detail went into the props and costumes!

Alas I've only seen the rather mangled American release of Terror of Mechagodzilla that edits out part of the ending, I really need to get ahold of the Japanese version.

We don't know for sure, remember that King Kong vs. Godzilla was originally planned to feature Frankenstein in Godzilla's place.

Besides, there are plenty of popular films with sequels that never last as long as Godzilla has.

Would the James Bond films have gone on for so long if Goldfinger and Thunderball hadn't been so successful? Probably not.

And yeah, Toho Kong sucks

The American producer who stole the film from Willis O Brian pitched it as Frankenstien Vs King Kong. Toho's immediate reaction was to repalce Frankenstien with Godzilla. Godzilla Raids Again wasn't nearly as big a hit as Gojira and Toho had moved on to newer monsters like Varan and Rodan, so yeah Godzilla was on the shelf, but it seems as though they were stringly conidering brining him back at some point. Toho's Kong is dissaponting, but it works for me. They were going to have to change Kong drastically considering Godzilla is like twice Kong's size.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_Kong_vs._Godzilla (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_Kong_vs._Godzilla)

Raids Again was made to cash in on the original, but it never really became a franchise until King Kong vs. Godzilla, which is STILL the highest grossing Godzilla film. So Toho got a series out of it as well as another Kong film (King Kong Escapes). They eventually made a pair of Frankenstein films as well (Frankenstein vs. Baragon and War of the Gargantuas).

It's also worth noting Eiji Tsuburaya was a huge Kong fan and originally wanted to create Godzilla through stop motion.

Yep but he was forced to abandon the idea thanks to a tight budget and an even tighter production schedule. Although there is one quick shot of Godzilla's tail smashing into a building and that was done with stop motion animation.

It's also funny as hell in the US version, what with all the uber serious UN reporters constantly commenting on the situation. I particularly love the bit where the dinosaur expert uses a children's picture book to demonstrate his point about Godzilla.

Now that you mention it, I would have loved to see a stop-motion Godzilla flick.  Just to see what kind of movements the creators originally intended G to have.  THEN, we could get some reference movements for the upcoming reboot.

*Sigh* I feel torn between two things I love, Godzilla and MST3K :'(

Godzilla vs. Megalon's riffing is actually pretty respectful of Godzilla, it's clear that Best Brains were fans; I just wish Toho would stop being so conservative and maybe take a look at the episodes to see them for themselves. And hire Shusuke Kaneko to make more movies instead of doing tired rehashes like the Kiryu duology (with respect to Kiryu's awesome design and execution, of course). And stop dragging Mothra into the ground and use some other f***ing monsters. More Baragon and Rodan and Varan, please!!!

Is the Godzilla vs. The Sea Monster episode gentle on the movie? I rather like that one and that was the first Godzilla movie I ever owned as a kid, apart from two G:TS tapes

I think that any dignity the Big G lost has been gained steadily back through the likes of Smog Monster, Mechagodzilla, Biollante, and especially GMK and by generally being bad@$$.

Not to mention all of the action scenes in the movie are just riped off from other movies like The Matrix, X-Men and The One starring Jet Li.

I think Godzilla Final Wars is enjoyable enough, there's definitely worse and I prefer it to the previous two films in the series. And when Godzilla's in the movie he kicks butt, it's just that none of his old monster allies get much to do and most of them are mere enemies to be defeated and then forgotten about

There's no English subtitles either.

Toho does not do English subs for their DVD's. I would love if someone bought the rights to all of the Godzilla movies and put them into one big collection, but that won't happen.

Even if Toho did something like that I can guarantee that fans would complain about something incredibly miniscule like not enough extras, not high enough quality, not specific versions being present, not as many commentaries or concept art, etc. and therefore killing their hardcore demographic. The western fandom is so divided and cynical it deserves nothing that good.

Knight, you should read this topic just to understand the gravity of how inane and unpleasable the kaiju fandom *IS*:

http://www.tohokingdom.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=5516 (http://www.tohokingdom.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=5516)

Has any fandom complained about a DVD release, just for some high quality and the original cut of something already released, so bad that people in the industry need to go to forums to tell them to simmer down? I forgot which page that happens specifically although I think it is over 50 or so. Remember, these guys will be behind and determine the legacy this film brings, the average fan and movie goer can only go so far after it's released on DVD.

It's pretty f**king scary.

Yeah, I don't have the time to read 124 pages of a forum just to prove a point. I do, though, pay attention to what goes on in TK, at least recently, and nothing they have done has given me any reason to believe the Godzilla fanbase is any different from any other fanbase you would see. You will especially find that members of fanbases will be crazy when you visit a forum specifically for that fanbase. There will always be people, either in small numbers or larger groups, that will be displeased no matter what happens. They rarely ever speak for the entire fanbase, though, and a company should never act as if they do. When it comes down to it, a company's goal is to make money. And the best way do to that is to please as many of the fans as possible. Some people don't like it? Tough f**king shit. Unless the dislikers of the product outnumber the people who will like and buy it, it really doesn't matter.

There's a lot of speculation on Toho Kingdom that it actually may be from the SDCC trailer. Checking the post date, it's listed as 4.12.12, which could either mean the twelth day of april, or the fourth day of december. Not sure which, since some places apparently order dates differently.

Ok, regarding the date on when that guy posted it up. I am going to say that this is recent. I went on tumblr and searched "GODZILLA" and I found this post after a few seconds of scrolling down.

I was looking through tumblr like crazy during the comic con earlier this year, and I never saw this tumblr post before then, or during, or after...until now. I am confident that this image is something that is recent, and has nothing to do with pre-comic con visuals.

Yeah, but why would anyone from Legendary really care about a frame from a trailer that's supposedly never going to be released anywhere but SDCC? It just seems odd to me.

Considering one or two pictures of Godzilla were taken from the trailer, the guards didn't seem to really do much. It seems no one bothered recording.

The feet are just Matt Frank's video game-y/anime style kicking in. You can imagine the neck being that way in the trailer shot.

But holy crap - if he looks anything like that I'd be happy. It's different but screams Godzilla, which is exactly what this should be.

It showed enough. Destroyed city ruins. Giant dead centipede-like monster. Smoke everywhere. Godzilla's body and head being seen along with a roar. People were saying that it stole the show. Pacific Rim was shown before Godzilla, and the Godzilla trailer just blew everyone away. I remember someone who was there saying that it blew away Pacific Rim, and that he couldn't believe that even though he was there at Hall H and saw Pacific Rim that also made people go crazy.

Well New York has been a little overused in the movies for disaster flicks the last decade or so. Besides with Godzilla an inhabitant of the Pacific Rim(pun slightly intended), I'm picturing him hitting Los Angeles, San Franscisco, Seattle, San Diego, or some other berg on the Left Coast. Although if the Big-G was to hit East Coast I'd love to see him hit Miami.

I'd like the event of the first flick to be refdered to. But I'm not married to that. It would help get things moving a wee bit faster plotwise though.

Does this take place in Japan?

No, but rumors say it's a sequel to the original japanese film.

I think it would be more effective to have this be the first dealing with a animal of this size ever in history. The shock and awe of it (if handled correctly) will be 50% of what giant monster films are all about. I don't think "Oh hey, Godzilla is back after 50 years!" is as scary as "What the f**k is going on?!"

:D :D

In any case, Hawaii sounds nice. I wouldn't mind seeing a little jungle scenery alongside Godzilla.

I'm good with any location. I feel like it's almost a given that he'll turn up on American soil and Hawaii sounds like a nice place to find evidence of him before he makes landfall. It also echos the Japanese American conflict of WWII with Pearl Harbor and the culmination on the bombs.

I liked how they handled the 'coming back' aspect in Godzilla '84: "Godzilla... I hoped I would never hear that name again."
However I really want this to be separate from the rest of the films.

You know, I'd be happy either way.
It would be really cool seeing a big budget American sequel to the original movie. Because then they have to acknowledge the events of that movie, and they would have the resources to make something big of it.

There's already a japanese Blu-Ray:

As for an american release? I dunno. They released a Region A/B Godzilla Vs. Biollante Blu-Ray (http://www.blu-ray.com/movies/Godzilla-vs-Biollante-Blu-ray/24467/#Review) pretty recently -- perhaps the other Heisei films will receive the same treatment sooner or later.

Speaking of "The Return of Godzilla/Godzilla 1984/Godzilla 1985" ... I recently noticed that someone posted the Def-Con 4 tracks that appeared as part of the American version. Great music. Especially for a low budget film like Def-Con 4. It would have gone unnoticed if it wasn't for it's inclusion in Godzilla.

Original director Honda put more faith in reporters and scientists than politicians and military men. So I guess that followed through in the many sequels.

Legendary Pictures' GODZILLA May Start Filming As Soon As March; Reboot Loses Two Producers

QuoteAccording to HitFix, Legendary Pictures' upcoming reboot of Godzilla has lost two of its producers; Dan Lin (It, Justice League, Sherlock Holmes) and Roy Lee (Death Note, Oldboy, Poltergeist). As you can see from their credits, they're both working on various other remakes and reboots, but no specific reason for their departure has been revealed by the site at this time. However, they do mention that director Gareth Edwards recently impressed studio execs with a more detailed pitch about his vision for the film. They were in fact so taken with what they were shown that Godzilla reportedly now has a March 2013 start date. Despite concerns over similarities with Pacific Rim, the site has heard that, "Edwards is trying to ground his take on "Godzilla" in a very recognizable present-day."

Yes!

However, I don't want guitar riffs every where.  Even having David Arnold doing another Godzilla score would be phenomenal.

Cautiously optimistic since it seems like they are really sticking to their guns with it being serious in tone and set in 'our world'.

Two months prep ... do they even have a lead cast yet? Or anyone for that matter?

Personally, I think if it's JUST between Godzilla and Guardians (which it's not), JGL will go with Godzilla. Just a hunch... we'll see.

Justin Kroll ‏@krolljvar

I've heard that other names being considered include Henry Cavill, Scott McNairy and Caleb Landry Jones

Oh shit, @KrollJVar going rogue & tweeting out the GODZILLA shortlist! JGL, Henry Cavill, Scoot McNairy and Caleb Landry Jones. 'Sup now?

'Godzilla' Getting A Frank Darabont Rewrite

http://www.deadline.com/2013/01/godzilla-getting-a-frank-darabont-rewrite-as-legendary-battles-roy-lee-and-dan-lin/ (http://www.deadline.com/2013/01/godzilla-getting-a-frank-darabont-rewrite-as-legendary-battles-roy-lee-and-dan-lin/)

I'm sure we all sensed that the script was nothing to write home about. My only concern is that Frank Darabont won't have enough time to really get a solid script out before it's roll time. Last time we saw Darabont do proper monsters was "The Mist" and I loved the characters and dialogue in that one.

Now I'm getting excited again.

I feel the same as well. They start filming in two months and they want to re-write the script. I doubt the dialogue is not a total mess.

That's actually encouraging to me. A majority of Toho's efforts (the bulk of the series) were pretty slap dash, kitty affairs with insanely schlocky sci-fi plots. Many just felt like extended Ultraman episodes that increasingly began catering to smaller and smaller children and all the fads of the era. (Not that they didn't yield some very memorable nostalgic gravy!)

The 90's Godzilla films were basically the same but with better effects. Though I felt most of the monster fights just became 'ray battles.' Plots and fighting got a little better in later post 2000 efforts but not enough to globally reinvigorate the franchise.

Godzilla needs to be a different kind of film to succeed now.

Honestly, I doubt it.

The plot of Pacific Rim varies too greatly from what we know of how Gareth Edwards wants to do Godzilla. Pacific Rim is anything but "Grounded in Reality"

Not to mention I doubt Toho would really want their character tied in with a different series. They're already being really lenient with the addition of two "new" monsters.

I wouldn't. I'm already iffy about the "Two new monsters" thing. Sure, in theory it's cool. In reality, though, it could backfire easily. How are they going to explain TWO different monsters origins so easily? One, I could understand, but two? That's a total of three different Kaiju appearing in the world all at the same time out of nowhere. Kind of hard to believe for a movie "Grounded in reality", words I'm begging to doubt.

It will be interesting, once (and if) the film is released, to look back and see how complex and 'plagued' its conception and pre-production phase was.

I wouldn't worry too much regarding its release. Regardless of whether one likes it or not, the 1998 film went through a similar phase. It eventually came to an end and the film was released anyway.

A military perspective in a Godzilla film might be interesting. Usually in the Japanese films (and even in the 1998 film) its a scientist's perspective, right?

Now that you mention it, I don't think we'll get too much insight on what Godzilla really is (scientifically) besides a giant destructive monster (as you'll most likely witness through a soldiers POV)



Btw, does anyone remember this gem for Sega Dream cast?  It's one of the only games to feature "Zilla".  Too bad it's a Japanese import....

At the time, my computer said no one had replied to it anyway, so I thought it was a good a time to delete it as any  :laugh:

It didn't suck because of the military angle, it sucked because it was anticlimactic and had very silly plot points. (Also I kind of liked it.)

Well, this is turning into a disaster.

For once we are in agreement. I am really worried about how this film will turn out. It has to be good. It has to! I've waited 7 years for a new Godzilla movie since seeing Final Wars on DVD for the first time! I was a child then...now it's almost time for college. Plus this is the series' 60th anniversary!

I personally would prefer Godzilla to be an anti-hero/villain in this film, similar to his portrayal in the late Heisei/early Millennium movies. I grew up with Godzilla as a good guy so I tend to prefer him that way, but I'm worried that with this "gritty" and "realistic" look at the series, audiences wouldn't accept the presence of a giant monster who's anything but a pure animal. Godzilla is destructive, but he is not evil - he is a character as well as a symbol, and that should not be forgotten.   

What are your guys' predictions for how this will turn out?

EDIT: I love Godzilla 2000 as it's the second G film I ever watched (at least most of it) and the first where Godzilla, my hero, won! GMK is a fantastic movie and Godzilla vs. Megaguirus is highly enjoyable if a little flawed. Godzilla Final Wars is unoriginal, disappointing...and yet incredibly fun and entertaining; it's impossible to hate that film no matter how tempting it is to do so.

Tokyo SOS is average with great special effects and filming...but I don't really like Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla, for a variety of themes. The whole theme, of humanity finding a weapon stronger than Godzilla, feels...incredibly arrogant, and unfaithful to the spirit of the series. (I'd elaborate more but I'm too tired right now.) Plus, Kiryu is left basically a prisoner, and that too is celebrated as a good thing!

I was never a huge fan of G2k. I saw it twice back in 2000 (Once in theaters and once on VHS). I watch it last year and I didn't think it hold very well. Megaguirus is a enjoyable bad movie and I think Tokyo SOS would have been better if it didn't feel like a rehash of the first movie.

Which Godzilla movie was it were the carcass of a giant turtle washed ashore at the beginning. It was one made during the 2000s. Either way ... I wouldn't mind if the other giant monsters were featured in this capacity. Sort of off screen causalities that hint at something larger being on the loose.

Yeah but then Godzilla will be the definite antagonist and they'll come up with some dumb way to defeat him that makes him seem weak. Unless they bring in the Oxygen Destroyer but I don't want a remake of the original, I want something new.

I actually like the Godzilla 2000 formula: at first it's just Godzilla being a menace, but then more evil monster or monsters show up towards the end.

Not sure Toho charges by the kaiju anymore, fortunately, as evidenced by the current IDW series.

I was hoping this will turn out like The Incredible Hulk.  In the first 2 acts of the film, they're battling the title monster while something worse is developing in the meantime.  Then, in the 3rd and final act, the new beast finally makes his entrance and our only hope to take it down is the monster that we were aiming to destroy in the first place.

Bada-boom.  Your classic Godzilla movie.

Title: Re: Godzilla
Post by: SiL on Jan 11, 2013, 08:34:40 AM
Exactly.

The first film leaves one with the impression that he would've stopped, or not bothered, if everyone had left well enough alone. Sure, he might wander to shore somewhere and accidentally step on people, but he doesn't go out of his way to trash Tokyo until people start poking him with a metaphorical stick. Heck, forget impression, one of the characters pretty much flat-out says it.

You could have a perfectly satisfying movie building up to one final, climactic rampage where Godzilla lays waste to whatever city of choice makes it into the film, then seeing nothing else to destroy, slips back to peace beneath the waves.

Godzilla died in 2 films, excluding the 1998 film.

Regarding the second monster thing, it's actually a very common complaint over the web -- or at least, it is from my experience. It's kind of chuckle-worthy though, considering the very first film featured Godzilla full-stop (excluding the remake, so did '84)

And I agree with SiL -- I would've liked to see another solo film. But alas. Looking forward to he new monster(s) though.

Yeah, like I said I remember it well. The attitude was (for brevity sake) you guys effed up this movie this bad and you couldn't even bother to have Godzilla fight another monster? For me I didn't care all that much because of how much I hated the movie.

I don't quite mean in those terms - more like we know what people didn't like from last time, lets get this laid out (in this particular aspect) this time around. For me personally... I don't think I would want another monster in it. I'm still horrified from the last movie (I know some of you dudes like it) and am unsure a second monster is able to be done well until the more important first one is.

Imagine it: world's attacked by giga atomic monster. In the same lapse of time, mega alien creature gets in battle with it.
I mean they would be terribly f**king unlucky. Cursed almost.

I'll wait to make my judgement on the New Monsters until I see what they're going to look like.

Part of me is hoping for the Gryphon concept from the original ideas 1998 threw around, but I know it won't happen...

I know many of you will scoff at the concept but as a fan of Godzilla vs. Hedorah it's something I'd like to see realized someday. Banno is still an executive producer on this film, I wonder how much influence he'll be having on the finished product?

I'm not disputing that Godzilla should be the baddest mofo around, but Rodan never got a chance do much whenever he was around. I seem to recall him dropping Godzilla dick first onto metal tower in one of them, so there's that.

It was built differently, with the tail becoming counterbalance and the weight being distributed on a wider area; Heisei Godzilla stands upright. Most of the weight is there.

Both designs work, IMHO. Always in-keeping that both are 'very unlikely' and the usual jazz.

And as far as the original series is concerned, the 'Biollante' Godzilla, and the 'Heisei' Godzilla in general is my favourite. He's basically what I think about when someone says 'japanese Godzilla'.
Title: Re: Godzilla
Post by: KNIGHT on Jan 14, 2013, 08:32:05 PM
Honestly, when I think of the "Japanese Godzilla", my mind goes to the "KingGoji" suit from Godzilla vs. King Kong. IMO, it was one of the best of the Showa suits, and I would love to see some of it's design in the next Godzilla design.

Of course,the MosuGoji suit from Godzila vs Mothra was also great.


...I just love Godzilla in almost any form, really.

Mostly better than whatever came before or after. I think the only ones that really come close to them are the 1964 Mothra, kind of, and the GMK guys. Perhaps some from G2K/GxM too.

Biollante is currently unpaired in the series when it comes to technical achievement, though. IMHO. It looks like a vividly moving, squirming with life monster. A really remarkable character.

I found it fairly informative, and quite interesting.

There are two Behind the Scenes, one talking about the designs and concepts behind some of the film, and another about the directing and suits used.

The movie itself is surprisingly cheap. Most places sell it for around nine dollars in American Money, which is easily the cheapest I've seen anything Godzilla related sell for.

People please! If you're still dealing with the effects of the Vietnam War or any other war don't argue about it here, write a giant monster story about it! That's how Tanaka, Honda, and Tsuburaya exorcised their inner demons after all, and that's arguably one of the whole selling points of giant monster stories for adults: dealing with issues through stories concerning literal manifestations of humanity's or individuals' inner demons (or angels, in a few cases).

To add to the previous subtopic, my personal favorite Godzilla designs are the original, the '64 MosuGoji one, the Megalon-Mechagodzilla one from '73-75, the mid-late Heisei one, and the 2000/Megaguirus design. I like the Godzilla Final Wars one in concept but not as much in execution; I like the combination of all the different designs but I agree that the face is a bit too rat-like and the skin texture is weird.

Favorite Good/Starring Kaiju:
Godzilla, Rodan, Baragon, King Seesar/Caesar, Manda, Baby/Little/Godzilla Junior, Giant Octopus, the three Yog monsters, Gorosaurus, Kumonga, Varan, Kamacuras, Anguirus, Kiryu, Biollante, Battra,

Favorite Opponent Kaiju:
Hedorah, King Ghidorah, Gigan, '74-5 Mechagodzilla, Destoroyah, Megaguirus, SpaceGodzilla, Orga, Titanosaurus, Dogora, Giant Condor ( ;D), Gabara

I love the design from Godzilla vs Space Godzilla...

http://numb3r5s.files.wordpress.com/2011/07/godzilla-heisei.jpg?w=510

That's from King Ghidorah.

About Toho kaiju -  When TriStar was trying to get Godzilla made in the '90s they could use ANY monster they wanted excluding Mothra, Ghidorah, Mechagodzilla and Rodan. Those along with Godzilla himself are considered Toho's most popular characters (their Top 5). That's why we see them in so many movies. The writers of the original '94 project wanted Ghidorah, were told no, but liked their space monster story so much they just came up with the Gryphon. When Devlin and Emmerich took over they didn't want monster fights and just had Godzilla running around.

Anyway, I wonder if that's the case here with Legendary or if by NEW they mean brand new instead of just new versions of old characters. I mean, Toho has such a cool selection to choose from already aside from the Top 5...

Hedorah
Gigan
Baragon
Anguirus
Kumonga
Manda
Gorosaurus
Varan
Ebirah
Kamacuras

And many more... I doubt we would see any original Heisei or Millennium creations though.

I can't think of a popular enough character that would be worth the financal risk to wade out without the Big G. They gave Mothra another shot in the late 90's. No ... a trilogy. How did that do?

No idea about box office, and critically...let's just say it's not considered one of Toho's highlights. The first and third films are pretty enjoyable in a brain-off mode though, and the latter did give us probably the best interpretation of King Ghidorah since his first film, as well as fan favorite Armor Mothra.

Yes, Doom. There was a mid to late 90's Mothra trilogy believe it or not. I don't remember their plots but there were lots of twin fairy shenanigans and some pretty decent foes to fight.

The first two are available as a double feature. The third hasn't been released yet. They were geared towards kids and made money (they made three after all) but they're not that great.

If Toho makes monster films again they'll stick to what they think works. They've become pretty conservative over the years. So we'll probably get Godzilla films co-starring Mothra, Ghidorah, etc.

Post by: Gilfryd on Jan 20, 2013, 05:28:28 AM
There is a massive tonal shift from Return of Godzilla and Biollante to King Ghidorah. The first two weren't exactly the massive hits Toho wanted so they brought back classic foes like Ghidorah, Mothra and Mechagodzilla for the next few entries and there was a definite exchange in quality for marquee value. When they eventually did SpaceGodzilla they were convinced to end the series and made Destoroyah. The reason the Heisei series was partially extended was because of the problems developing the TriStar Godzilla. They did however want to end the series before an American film came out to simply let a different studio handle the character for a while. That's what they're doing with Legendary now.

Looks like Nightmare Asylum has the most of Godzilla movies. I sadly have none. The most complete Godzilla collection is the Japanese-Only DVD release, The Godzilla Final Box, which contains EVERY Godzilla film ever made.

I want to get the Criterion blu-ray so bad, yet I can't find it anywhere :'(

Looking at Nightmare's list I now remember also having.

- Godzilla vs Megaguirus
- Son of Godzilla
- King Kong vs Godzilla

I also have Mothera's solo movie, in which Mothera is the antagonist.

Not pictured:

Godzilla's Revenge. (can't put my hands on it. Perhaps I hide it when guests came over.)
Godzilla Tri Star 1998. (fell victim to my wifes space saver iniative and is now filed in a disk-sock somewhere.)

I need to pick up Godzilla vs Mecha Godzilla 2 on DVD. For some reason Monster Zero has eluded me as well. Son of Godzilla has done the same. Have them all on VHS though.

The new-ish Classic Media DVD of Monster Zero is called Invasion of the Astro Monster. Look for that.

I heard from a little thrush that Godzilla vs Biollante was not only out on Blu but also cheap. Any word on the transfer?

Wasn't Godzilla vs Megalon also supposed to be hitting blu? I've only seen the outrageously overpriced DVD of it.

Is it really? I thought that was the Americanized version's name. If memory serves they changed a lot of the Japanese titles when they came out over here on cable.

Godzilla vs The Smog Monster and Godzilla on Monster Island spring to mind.

I haven't either! There is something about the photo that makes me think that it's a custom model diorama not necessarily afflicted with the film. The bokeh on the people in the foreground looks like it would if they were very small figures.

I pretty sure when they used miniatures for the film that there were no stationary human beings. They were all composites of tripping and stumbling Japanese extras. So I suppose it could be a still from before the composite was made? Just stand ins for the Godzilla puppet to roar at?

Edit* It is a model kit. But a damn fine one and photographed very creatively.

The term cool is only as worth as much as the person who wields it. I'm more worried about the legal battles. Not because I feel the won't ever be resolved ... but after awhile the studio is going to start losing it's talent to other projects and this incarnation of Godzilla will be subject to change once again.

Hey, I watched Monsters a few nights ago and quite liked it. It wasn't amazing, but I certainly didn't regret seeing it.

I say we sacrifice Aspie to the Trilobite Overlord and beg him to allow Godzilla (2014) to be awesome. Who's with me?

Title: Re: Godzilla
Post by: Ratchetcomand on Jan 24, 2013, 03:49:05 AM
What do you mean? You mean which villain appears the most? I would say King Ghidorah since he has been in seven movies. Not counting Monster X since he is a different version of the character.
Title: Re: Godzilla

Who is to Godzilla, what Venom is to Spider-Man? Like, who is his #1 baddie.

King Ghidorah, probably.

Title: Re: Godzilla

King Ghidorah, Mecha-King Ghidorah, Mecha Godzilla, and Destroyah I think would be exceptable answers.
Title: Re: Godzilla
Post by: KNIGHT on Jan 24, 2013, 06:32:58 AM
King Ghidorah or Mechagodzilla are the most fitting as Godzilla's "Venom", most other villains just haven't fought him enough times to even be considered for that role, nor are they as memorable.
Title: Re: Godzilla
Post by: SpaceMarines on Jan 24, 2013, 06:55:52 AM
I always think of Mothra as Godzilla's main nemesis. But that's only because Mothra vs. Godzilla was the first 'zilla film I ever saw (excluding the American one). :laugh:

Come to think of it, I've only seen four of the Japanese ones; the aforementioned, Godzilla vs. Monster Zero, Godzilla 2000, and the original Gojira.
Title: Re: Godzilla
Post by: SiL on Jan 24, 2013, 08:27:09 AM
Ghidorah for sheer volume, I think. But he doesn't really have a main, notable opponent; it's more a rogue's gallery of giant f**k-off monsters.

Title: Re: Godzilla
Post by: Dovahkiin on Jan 25, 2013, 03:32:54 AM
I would say Mecha Godzilla is proabably Godzilla's "Green Goblin"

King Ghidorah would be his "Venom"

Gigan would be his "Doc Ock"

Destroyah would probably be his "Sandman"


Title: Re: Godzilla
Post by: ShadowPred on Jan 25, 2013, 03:37:17 AM
Mecha G is the Venom to Godzilla for me. Much like Vengeance is to Ghost Rider. I guess you can say Ghidorah is his Green Goblin...that's the one monster he's had to fight constantly, plus its other variations.

Post by: genocyber on Jan 25, 2013, 05:42:52 AM
I had a dream I was watching the new Godzilla trailer. At first you only saw things from its perspective and the occasional shadow over buildings. He was attacking London for some reason. Then when it showed him, he looked completely CG, but his head looked like a crocodile with a short snout with pale brown-grey skin.

POSSIBLE OFFICIAL CONCEPT ART

QuoteConcept Artist for Warner Bros. and Legendary's most recent Gangster Squad movie (which was great if you haven't yet seen it), Larry Quach, has posted some Godzilla concept artwork on his portfolio website. Now, before the net starts to buzz that this is "official", let me say that there is no confirmation yet whether or not this artwork is in fact concept art for Godzilla (2014).

Also, on Larry's portfolio website, the Godzilla artwork is listed under his "Personal Projects" tab, not his official film work. That being said, his artwork depicts two Monsters which Godzilla would face off against in Godzilla 2014 as well as a soldier -which coincides with recent updates regarding Godzilla's plot, which include Two Monsters and the life of a Soldier who gets caught in the middle of Godzilla's rampage.

Godzilla 1985, at the film's end where Godzilla goes down the volcano's crater, and Mr.Martin/Raymond Burr's speech about what Godzilla is in the world.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sGBeeDo-06s# (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sGBeeDo-06s#)
Also backed by a powerful score by Reiijiro Korko(why this guy never was used in another Godzilla flick again I don't know) it's still a bit of a tearjerker today .

At the end of Raymond Burr's speech I'm always have expecting for him to say ...

"and before you call the repairman turn on all the lights, check all the closets and cupboards, look under all the beds, 'cause you never can tell there just might be a gremlin in your house."

Well, he did take a shit load of bullets, torpedoes and missiles, even slipped and fell. I'd say that, even for a more realistic take on an animal like Godzilla, it sure took a hell of a beating.

Not to mention that the military weapon power in that film is completely wrong. Fictitious in a word. All of them are absolutely inaccurate depictions. No  way two AGM-84s (or AGM-65s, I think there is a continuity goof there) would blow up MSG that way. Torpedoes can't manage to inflict superficial damage to the creature yet AGM-65s can. Etc.

That's something I've always been able to 'look beyond' in the films where Godzilla is a force of nature fantasy creature with near Wolverine regenerative capabilities. 1998 didn't pursue this angle in favor of a more realistic/reality based creature that tries like hell to avoid damage and hides to avoid detection.

I've thought about the jet missiles vs submarine torpedo damage done to Godzilla in the 98 film and sort of apologized for it by reaching back to the Japanese films for some cinematic heritage. As for the damage done to MSG ... yeah ... typical Hollywood sensationalized explosion for the sake of excitement. You can forgive it when an unknown alien laser zaps the White House ... but known weapons with well documented area of effect.

That was really the least of my issues with Godzilla 1998. But I can understand how a lot of people would think the film quickly tumbled into Gremlins 2 territory. (Which isn't bad in itself but ... in a Godzilla movie? ... Oh wait ... Godzilla's Revenge. Never mind.  :P)

... You don't actually see where they hit if I recall correctly. You do see explosions on the sides of the... rubble... underwater... cloud? But those things make f**kbig explosions anyway as shown before with the submarine being hit.

You are to assume they hit the target since they were not heat-seeking weaponry like the ones they used before -- but rather radar-based.

Gonna check the Blu-Ray to make sure, however.

Just checked and it's word for word how I said. Godzilla hits the wall of the Hudson's stream bed; begins to dig creating this massive cloud of rubble and dust underwater. The torpedoes disappear in the cloud and explode. They go in a straight line (as shown by the trail) and given their direction they should have hit the creature either on the head or in the chest area.

It's apparent they wanted to do a Jurassic Park style creature feature rather than Godzilla. Instead of staples like military and monster fights they went with that? It makes no sense from a storytelling point of view. So you get rid of the thing that the audience came for and give them something they already saw in another? It's blatantly ignoring elements already established with the character in favor of their own agenda. They used his name and that's it.

Quote[size=150]Warner Bros. Pictures epic monster film Godzilla casting boys for starring roles[/size]

Legendary Pictures and Warner Bros. Pictures, in association with Disruption Entertainment are in pre-production on the huge big-budget epic feature film "Godzilla", and shooting is scheduled to begin on March 14, 2013 in Vancouver, British Columbia. The film's casting directors in Los Angeles and Canada are holding auditions for several starring roles. These roles are for boys ages 3 - 11 years of age. The youngest is a Caucasian boy to play a 4 year old, the middle one is a Japanese boy to play 6 years of age, and the oldest is another Caucasian boy to play 10 years old. The actors do not have to be these exact ages, but can be a year older or younger. The extras will be cast in Vancouver close to the start of filming, which will run through June 22, 2013.

Starring in "Godzilla" is BAFTA Awards Rising Star Award nominee Aaron Taylor-Johnson, who is an English actor who began performing at six years of age. Taylor-Johnson recently starred in "Anna Karenina" opposite Keira Knightley. That film has been nominated for four Academy Awards. BAFTA Awards EE Rising Star Award nominee Elizabeth Olsen is in talks to also star in "Godzilla". Olsen is an exceptionally beautiful and talented actress who recently completed filming on "Oldboy" starring opposite Samuel L. Jackson and Josh Brolin. Also in talks is four-time Golden Globe Award nominee Bryan Cranston, who just finished working on "Eye of Winter".

Details on how talent can submit for acting roles, and registration information for extras can be found on the following casting post:

about to film Godzilla in the Spring so that's the next thing I'm working on!" When asked about making the transition from dramas to a big budget blockbuster, Olsen jokingly added: "Well, Godzilla is actually going to be a very heavy drama! It's definitely going to be a very different take on the past Godzilla's..." Godzilla is currently set for release on May 16th, 2014 in 3D.

Godzilla is approx 100 metres tall, Barad-dûr (eye of Sauron) is 1,500 metres tall, however one blast from Godzillas atomic breath will turn the tower of Mordor to Godzilla litter.

Sauron is immortal so unless Godzilla destroys the one ring it'll be a never ending battle.

I hope we don't get a water down version of the 1954 film. I have a feeling that they are going to try too hard to make it too dark and gritty. I think the other Godzilla films did a fine job on a serious tone without being too dark. Movies like Mothra vs. Godzilla, Monster Zero, GVB and GMK did a good job on it.

Then again Godzilla Vs Gigan had Godzilla and Anguirus literally chatting between each other. And what brilliant dialogue too.

The only Godzilla movies I'd say were "bad" (i.e. ones I actively dislike) are Godzilla and Mothra: The Battle For Earth and Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla (due to its themes/stance). Destroy All Monsters is pretty s*** as well when you take out the monsters, who make up like barely 30% of the movie anyways.

Here's my thoughts on the franchise:
Gojira: The original and a classic. Raymond Burr's narration/framing device actually adds a lot to the American version, but the original's powerful anti-war themes can't be beat.

Godzilla Raids Again: Only seen the godawful Americanization known as "Gigantis: The Fire Monster" so I can't really judge.

King Kong vs. Godzilla: Again, only seen the dumbed down American version, which is accurately taken apart here: http://www.tohokingdom.com/media/toons/toon_17.htm (http://www.tohokingdom.com/media/toons/toon_17.htm)

Mothra vs. Godzilla: Didn't like this one much when I was a kid but now I see it for the classic it is! The ending's still pretty lame though -_-

Ghidorah The Three-Headed Monster: One of the greats in my 10-year-old eyes! Godzilla, Rodan, and Mothra teaming up against King Ghidorah? Godzilla and Rodan, my heroes, turning good for the first time? Espionage, strange prophecies, colorful characters, basically a summation of all the best bits of the Toho sci-fi stable up 'til now? This gem has it all and remains one of my favorites today, even if some of the monster action is a little goofy and Godzilla's breath looks like steam after its first use.

Invasion of the Astro-Monster: A very bizarre case because this is a great, great Japanese sci-fi movie and a bad, bad Godzilla movie. The human/alien characters are very engaging and drive the movie, making this film almost unique in the series in terms of quality non-monster goings on! However, the monsters are treated/used as mere pawns in the battle between humans and Planet X, rather than as characters in their own right, and in the process Ghidorah is downgraded from the ultimate baddie into a mere hench-creature under the control of aliens all along, which retroactively takes away from his initial coolness as well.

Godzilla vs. The Sea Monster: The first of the two sequential Jun Fukuda-directed "giant animals terrorize a tropical island" Godzilla films, Godzilla vs. The Sea Monster is the first Japanese Godzilla film I ever owned and it holds a special place in my heart today. Featuring an engaging and colorful (literally, in the case of the two guys' bright yellow jackets) cast of characters, some of whom actually develop pretty well! The SPECTRE-esque human villains actually show up Ebirah, the titular Sea Monster himself. Most notable to my childhood self for featuring the scene with "the Turkey!", which was our name for the giant condor that randomly attacks Godzilla in one scene.

Son of Godzilla: A fun and even heartwarming adventure featuring a not-yet annoying Minilla; one of my childhood favorites. Even if Godzilla looks like crap. This and its predecessor are often viewed as two of the weakest Godzilla movies but I disagree, they may not be strong films but in terms of entertainment these can't be beat; in providing us with simple enterainment, colorful settings, and a refreshingly different atmosphere, this duology is where it's at!

Destroy All Monsters: I may be burned at the stake for saying this but DAM kind of sucks; it's essentially an inferior remake of Invasion of the Astro-Monster that incorporates all the original's flaws while possessing none of what made the earlier film such a success: an engaging human cast. The film makes up for it in terms of the sheer amount of kaiju on display and some nice moments for a few (mainly Anguirus and Gorosaurus), and future entries in the series in a variety of mediums do owe a lot to this film (the concept of Monster Island, many of the Toho monsters becoming heroic, etc.). Plus, it features perhaps the best monster fight scene in the series' history. That doesn't change the fact that Ishiro Honda is clearly more interested in the boring human cast and sci-fi elements than the monsters at this point and we are forced to suffer through the excruciating boredom the former elements present for the majority of the movie, to the point that the humans even dominate the climax and defeat the "boss opponent" instead of the monsters. The nadir of all this mediocrity comes when the humans spend like four minutes shooting a laser at the alien control device in a drab set while irritatingly catchy music plays, and if I'm ever involved in a Godzilla project I swear I will parody the heck out of that scene. :P

I'll edit and add more later when I have time.

Any other Oodako fans out there by the way? Giant Octopus FTW!!!

I think the Godzilla movies got campy around the 70's. The 70's was a campy era, so I don't care. Not to mention all of the films around those times had a limited budget. I liked them for what they are.

Most people who make fun of Godzilla movies haven't seen a single one and if they have it's usually the original, which is understandable, but then they say all the sequels are bad which is bullshit. It's like any long running franchise. You have to look at it all to find what's good and what's not. Movies like Mothra vs. Godzilla, Ghidorah, Astro-Monster, Biollante and GMK are all well made, entertaining films and just because they aren't as heavy or deep as the original doesn't make them bad. Saying the original is the only one worth referencing is like saying Dr. No is the best Bond film.

Title: Re: Godzilla
Post by: OmegaZilla on Feb 20, 2013, 12:32:56 PM
Titanosaurus is just a product of the term being transliterated; I think the japanese term would literally be something like Chitanozaurusu or what. I don't know if they actually meant to reference the sauropod or just made the name up (Titan + usual saurus).

Either way Terror was my first Godzilla film besides the remake. One of the better Showa films, of course compared to the majority. Titanosaurus I have always liked. Actually one of my favourites. Would love to see a properly update version (no, not just Matt Frank's).

The Winston Godzilla I see as just having a much more realistic and reptile-esque finish. The structure otherwise is pretty recognizable. I also might remind you that the original was designed based on the contemporary dinosaur reconstructions -- which were, err, tripod-stance lizardlike dinosaurs. And dinosaurs are reptiles themselves. The Winston Godzilla is a Wolfman kind of update.


Aaaand the wrong picture was used for Zilla, again. Zilla is the PS2 CGI monster in Final Wars.

Dinosaurs are reptiles. The very term 'dinosaur' is Greek for 'terrible lizard'.

Dinosaurs are failed reptiles because they are truly terrible lizards.

That is what I have gained from my sources. My sources are more reliable reptiles.

I knew the name was given to them when they were first discovered and nothing was really known about them, however reptiles are cold blooded and no one knows if dinosaurs were the same. Remember evidence shows they're closely related to birds more than reptiles. Dinosaurs are their own family group the Dinosauria.
Title: Re: Godzilla
Post by: DoomRulz on Feb 21, 2013, 10:24:36 AM
And dinosaurs evolved from the group of animals known as archosaurs, or 'ruling reptiles'. Also,

QuoteAlthough the word dinosaur means "terrible lizard", the name is somewhat misleading, as dinosaurs are not lizards, representing instead a separate group of reptiles which, like many extinct forms, did not exhibit characteristics traditionally seen as reptilian, such as a sprawling limb posture or ectothermy.

As for the connection to birds, there are avian- and non-avian dinosaurs. Not all dinosaurs are related to birds.
Title: Re: Godzilla

Sorry to just state. After looking it up I was wrong, the Dinosauria family is a clade of Reptiles.
A sub-family of animals within a family.

Godzilla's mammalian face makes him unique.

Also the key with Godzilla is that he's this prehistoric reptilian creature. In the original he's a cross between dinosaurs and marine reptiles. He's more than just a lizard. That's a major simplification. He's a giant nuclear powered sea monster.

Firing at nothing?

Legendary Pictures is sparing no expense for this project, Requiem.

First, they set off a nuke in the Pacific Ocean, somewhere around the area near Japan. This was kept secret, but trust me, I have my sources.


Following this, a creature was awakened from it's slumber. Some theories state it was created by the bomb, but in truth, no one knows for sure where it came from. After destroying a few villages in the area, again an event that was never officially confirmed by the government but I trust my sources, it headed towards North America.

Legendary Pictures used it's influence to lure the creature to Vancouver, just for the shooting of Godzilla. It will later be lured to Antarctica, where special forces will trap it in the ice near the south pole, at a location which will be kept secret.

Seriously, Requiem, firing at nothing? Psh.

Footage of what? Military shooting at nothing? In a movie like this, set footage is kind of useless. It's more or less just an indicator of how many things get thrown around, and even then that could be CGI on it's own.

I don't, mostly because.. Well, it doesn't entirely make too much sense.

Godzilla spends most of his time in the Pacific Ocean. If he were to make landfall anywhere in America, it would more likely be the west coast, like California or something. It would take a LOT longer to reach NYC from Japan by ocean. Godzilla would have to have a damn good reason for doing it.

Well, the only real big city to destroy on the west coast is L.A, and that's not that big.

Well if it ain't broke, don't fix it. A lot of movies of this nature seem to hide the creature during the pre-release stuff, and it usually results in a successful box office income.

That being said, I'd like to see Godzilla now if possible :P

Well if it ain't broke, don't fix it. A lot of movies of this nature seem to hide the creature during the pre-release stuff, and it usually results in a successful box office income.

People won't fall for the same trick again. Not showing off Godzilla's design was a bad sign that people thought at the time.

Not showing the monster is the best part. I was happy with it in Godzilla 98, and I went crazy just seeing his leg, that's all we need. A leg.

I'd prefer to see the design before spending the money to see it in theaters. This would be my first Godzilla film in a theater, and I would really prefer that experience to be wasted on another "GINO".

I don't believe Gareth Edwards will pull that on the fans, but I'd rather be safe than crying in a corner at what could have been.

That being said, I doubt they'll show the design on purpose before the movie airs.  :-\

I HOPE that's what he looks like, but considering how long ago that was, a lot could change with the design.

I get the feeling after G-98 ,that Gareth and the producers will at least give us one good, albiet, very breif glimpse of the Big-G, in the teasers for this film. Just to put the audiences' collective minds at ease after the last time. Making sure there will be no question that daikaiju you'll be seeing next year will definitely be reconized as Godzilla.

For about a week. Both GINO and Cloverfield had strong openings but dropped drastically. There's a reason why we haven't seen Clover 2 and Godzilla's being rebooted (16 years later).

Jurassic Park 4, Godzilla, JP3D, and Pacific Rim are literally the only films coming out that I'm dead excited about.

When things start rolling more for them, Tron 3 and Prometheus 2 will go on my list. ATM they're not really being talked about and I'm still worried they'll be cancelled.

Which has more to do with the perceived quality of the film, not the fact that a monster wasn't shown. If it was because the monster wasn't shown then that people didn't go then the first weekend would have been terrible.

If they can use their marketing to draw in a successful first weekend and then have good word of mouth carry them on from there, then they have a recipe for long-term success.

Lets not forget Godzilla came with a roaring fan base and Cloverfield was a mysterious original film. Higher expectations for Godzilla. Sheer curiosity for Cloverfield. Hell, even people who didn't care for giant monster movies where going to see Cloverfield thanks to the marketing.

In the end Godzilla 98 had a slap-dash script and mostly weak, flat characters (and a controversial Godzilla re-design.) Cloverfield was a breath of fresh air to the genre but the monster itself was sort of a let down. A shaved, wingless bat. (I never flipped for Clover, that ice beast in Star Trek, or the alien in Super 8 -)

From what the local news report showed of what they filmed in Nanaimo, their was a burning helicopter wreck.

I mean, every Godzilla film since Godzilla 2000 has seen theatrical release in US theaters, done splendidly at the international box office, the DVD/Blu-ray releases are just flying off the shelves....

Once upon a time I'd watch many Zilla movies by the dozens. But today the only ones I'll ever watch anymore is 1998 Godzilla and 1954 Godzilla.

Well, those, and the American cut of Godzilla 2000 is pretty entertaining. "Quit yer bitchin'!" :laugh:

What the Godzilla films do have going for them though is astonishingly good musical scores:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p9k_Y_iR3kE# (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p9k_Y_iR3kE#)

I have so many fond memories of those movies. My mom calling to me in the backyard when one was one. I'd come running no matter what I was doing. I use to pretend that when I had a glass of pepsi, I was drinking radioactive tar (to boost my Godzilla powers) and terrorize my Star Wars and GI JOE action figures pretending to be big G.

Haven't thought about 84 in years. Every boy needs Godzilla in his life.

You didn't like Mothra vs. Godzilla which is viewed as one of the best Godzilla films? I also think Monster Zero and Ghidorah; The Three Headed Monster were pretty good films as well IMO.

Um, no.

No, he's got something going there. Godzilla was doing very well in the 1990s in America as far as merchandise goes, even before the year-long marketing campaign for the TriStar Godzilla kicked off. But once the film was released it all died down. Random House didn't renew the rights to publish Godzilla novels, leaving the completed Godzilla and the Lost Continent lost forever. A toy line for Godzilla: The Series was completely canceled. Merchandise in general for the '98 film sold poorly and this rubbed off on everything Godzilla and giant monster related. Things were going so well and imagine what would've happened if GINO were good.

Quote from: Cvalda on Mar 24, 2013, 09:03:34 PMThey're all garbage except for the original 1954 film, Return of Godzilla and GMK.

Between 1954 and 1968 (Godzilla to Destroy All Monsters) some of the most consistently well made, entertaining sci-fi and fantasy films came out of Japan. Even the '70s, considered a low point for the genre, has some odd charmers. And then you've got contemporary films like Return of Godzilla, Biollante, the Gamera trilogy, GMK and Gamera the Brave.

Blacklabel, I'd recommend any of the movies I've mentioned plus these. Just to get started.  ;)

Godzilla
Godzilla Raids Again
Rodan
The Mysterians
Varan
The H-Man
Battle in Outer Space
Mothra
King Kong vs. Godzilla
Atragon
Matango
Mothra vs. Godzilla
Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Monster
Dogora
Invasion of Astro-Monster
Frankenstein vs. Baragon
Godzilla vs. the Sea Monster
War of the Gargantuas
Son of Godzilla
King Kong Escapes
Destroy All Monsters

A mutated rose would have been fine, but the guy somehow placed his daughter's soul in the rose.  Because apparently, you can do that. No need to explain, that shit just happens. And that's not even mentioning the 10,000 different factions after the film's MacGuffin.

I never get this. There's more to these than monsters. They're not incredibly deep, but for what they are, decent human drama goes a long way and plenty of entries accomplish this.

I don't get what's so hard to follow in Biollante either. There's a lot going on, but if you're just watching for the monsters of course you might get lost.

No, he's got something going there.
We've already argued this. They got another theatrically released japanese film the year after with many similar aspects (the concept art posted some pages ago further supports this), the film got an enormous number of people in the fanbase too.

A toy line for Godzilla: The Series was completely canceled.
Show was pretty popular before Pokémon and everything kicked off. I would suppose that played a quite large part in this.

Godzilla's radioactive shout thingy wasn't working because of drugs the military used on him, so Bagorah was kicking his ***, but then he starts to slowly recover...

Bagorah takes no notice of the warning signs from his glowing spinal plates because before they didn't do anything then suddenly...

This.

While I can enjoy pretty much every Godzilla film (Even 98), I enjoy Gojira so much more because of it's characters.

Post by: SpaceMarines on Mar 25, 2013, 07:48:01 PM
I was actually shocked at how brutal the destruction Gozilla (in the original film) dished out was. The families cowering before being obliterated, the destruction of thousands as they flee for their lives... It felt like I was watching film clips from Hiroshima or Nagasaki. Which makes sense, considering the allegorical nature of the film.

The strength of the original Gojira lies in its bleak tone, phenomenal score and powerful, almost documentary style photography of the carnage. Really hammers home the WWII subtext in an effective way.

It's cliche human drama, not so much.

I did. I personally like all of the characters in Gojira. I still think Serizawa is the best character in the movie. Asking who really watches a Godzilla movie for the characters is pretty stupid if you ask me. It's like saying "Who really watches the Alien movies for the characters?".

I think it is annoying when people think that monster movies are just cheesy fun. When you had the 90's Heisei Gamera movies, the Honda Godzilla films, GMK, The Host and Ultraman Nexus that proves that you can make serious monster related movies or shows.
Title: Re: Godzilla
Post by: Nightmare Asylum on Mar 25, 2013, 09:54:50 PM
People think that because, relatively speaking, most of them are.

The good ones absolutely transcend that label (Alien, Predator, Gojira, King Kong, etc.) but for every exceptional monster movie there are probably ten cheesy ones.

I'll give you the Gamera trilogy and GMK -- Shusuke Kaneko actually crafts likeable characters who feel relevant to the plot. Likewise Bong Joon-ho's The Host.

But the prevailing notion that giant monster movies are cheesy fun is because the vast majority are not up to the level of those precious few others, and can only really be enjoyed with tongue in cheek (or rose tinted childhood nostalgia glasses).

I think the Godzilla movies directed by Ishiro Honda has good human characters in them in my opinion. I enjoy all of the Godzilla films (except for Godzilla: Final Wars and Godzilla Raids Again) to a certain extent.

Raids Again almost gets the human element right. The reveal at the end would have had more of an impact, if the rest of the movie weren't so goddamn boring.

Quote from: OmegaZilla on Mar 25, 2013, 07:02:44 AMWe've already argued this. They got another theatrically released japanese film the year after with many similar aspects (the concept art posted some pages ago further supports this), the film got an enormous number of people in the fanbase too.

Except Toho expected TriStar to handle things for years to come. They didn't expect to make another Japanese film until 2004.

If there are any references to big budget American films in G2K it's not unprecedented. It shares a lot of the same crew from the '90s Godzilla films, which had several 'homages' to Hollywood movies. And if there are any hints of GINO or Emmerich films in general they're more like thinly veiled jabs (Godzilla fighting a spaceship [ID4] and a monster that wants to be him [GINO]).

If any movie influenced the special effects it was Gamera 3, which was released earlier in the year. That made the team step up their game. A lot of people seem to think G2K was Toho's big "Screw you!" to TriStar, but it was produced during a cloudy period where TriStar wasn't sure what to do with Godzilla (they later decided to sit on the rights until 2003). This would explain the REJECTED Godzilla/GINO hybrid design.

If anything made Toho want to make another films in Japan (which means the most to them domestically) it was the financial success of Godzilla vs. Destoroyah. While TriStar was figuring out what they wanted Toho piggybacked on this because Godzilla was still a big moneymaker in Japan. This waned as the Millennium series continued until Final Wars completely bombed. In recent years Godzilla and other monsters aren't nearly as big as hero characters like Ultraman and Kamen/Masked Rider.

QuoteShow was pretty popular before Pokémon and everything kicked off. I would suppose that played a quite large part in this.

The cancellation of the toy line happened way before the Pokémon/Digimon war kicked off.

People seem to think the series was some afterthought of the movie, but they were in production at the same time. Only 40 episodes were produced so that's all what we'd gotten anyway. They were intended to be shown in a continuous loop. The show was doing pretty good like you said until Fox Kids decided to show more Digimon episodes in its place. This led to a few episodes never airing and later the show being pulled entirely. So while Digimon/Pokémon affected the series, what affected the toys was ironically the movie they were in turn based on.

Quote from: ShadowPred on Mar 26, 2013, 12:52:36 AMlook at every single Godzilla movie after the original.. mostly all of them barely have any human drama at all

Every single Godzilla movie has human drama, it's just that some do it better than others and you have to care enough to notice it.

Like I said these aren't the deepest movies and they're not trying to be. But films like Mothra vs. Godzilla, Ghidorah the Three-Headed Monster, Invasion of Astro-Monster, etc. are extremely well made pieces of entertainment where the monsters AND humans propel the story.

The powers of nerd myopia.

Yeah, sure, Godzilla is so popular stateside that it can definitely rank in the same league as all of those other franchises. I mean, every Godzilla film since Godzilla 2000 has seen theatrical release in US theaters, done splendidly at the international box office, the DVD/Blu-ray releases are just flying off the shelves....

Oh, wait.

Here is where I disagree. How many other franchises have gone through that same dormant period?
How many other franchises have their own convention? Or own magazine series?

Why isn't Godzilla in the same league as the Alien, Predator or Terminator?

The new Bandai USA and Bandai SH MonsterArts figures have been selling VERY well. IDW's comics have been selling pretty decently.
The hype for this new film has been overwhelmingly positive.

Just because Godzilla isn't the "it" thing right now doesn't mean it isn't a well known franchise.
There is a reason why it has 29 films total (30 after next year) and has lasted about 60 years.

I'd consider it to be a sleeping giant. All it need is a good high grossing big budget American film/franchise and boom it's back where it used to be if not bigger.

The TriStar film was a critical and financial disappointment. Toho didn't intend to make another Japanese Godzilla film until 2004 or so, and they made one a year after the big budget American movie that was supposed to start its own series. Yes, Toho did end up making another series, but it was for all the wrong reasons and they made nowhere near the money of the '90s Heisei films. So as far as reaching its goals GINO crashed and burned, that's pretty low.

QuoteOr directly inspired sequences, such as the swimming sequence (with the same angle used!), tunnel attack -- not to mention the decidedly more reptilian Godzilla.

That entire sequence is more derived from Jurassic Park than anything else, and the Godzilla design relfects the more reptilian (!) design seen in King Kong vs. Godzilla - just stylized a bit more.

Quote...yes, and had the 1998 film really killed off interest, the Shinsei series wouldn't have been as developed.

Like I said, the reason Toho coninued making Japanese produced Godzilla films was because the later Heisei films were some of their biggest moneymakers in the '90s. And the American film might as well put people off from Godzilla as all of the Millennium (Shinsei is a fanmade term) films, aside from GMK, disappointed somewhat at the boxoffice. 

QuoteDigimon was first aired in August 1999, Pokémon the September of the year before. The toy series for Godzilla was scheduled for Fall 1999; I would suppose that yes, the release of the former two did influence bias towards them and not Godzilla.

I imagine that would be the case today, but not in the '90s where toys based on big franchises were all over the place. If that were the case it would have been pointed in the article I posted. People didn't order GTS toys because they still had GINO merchandise on their shelves that wouldn't sell.

If I've learned one thing as a Godzilla fan it's that he will always return, but he's still nowhere as big as other big nerd franchsies like Star Wars or Star Trek, nor does he need to be. It's one of the most misperceived series imaginable, but I don't want to see it become the next Marvel Cinematic Universe. Just give me some well made films. If I saw Godzilla licensed to hell like Star Wars I think I'd puke.

That is not necessarily due to the 1998 film itself. And the most successful film you've listed (Destroyah) gained $18,000,000 over a  $10,000,000 budget [according to Wikipedia at least].. The more 'financially disappointing' Millennium ones still managed to regain their budget. The only one that really bombed is Final Wars. If Destroyah is the 'peak', the Millennium ones did reasonably.

I meant the tunnel sequence you mentioned earlier in G2K.

QuoteAnd right after a decidedly reptilian american Godzilla (and assuming it was this scarecrow that killed interest), you'd want to distance yourself from that -- maybe returning to the more oriental and feline Heisei ones.

One of the other points for G2K was to distance itself from the Heisei series. Those movie made a lot of money for Toho, but the continuity those films featured put off theatrical releases in other countries, aside from Return of Godzilla. With G2K they started fresh with no references (not even the original), and guess what, it got an American theatrical release. 

And if you want to say that was because of GINO you're right in a sense, but again TriStar was supposed to be making these films, not Toho. Their plans went completely backwards due to the way GINO performed.

QuoteThat is not necessarily due to the 1998 film itself. And the most successful film you've listed (Destroyah) gained $18,000,000 over a  $10,000,000 budget [according to Wikipedia at least].. The more 'financially disappointing' Millennium ones still managed to regain their budget. The only one that really bombed is Final Wars. If Destroyah is the 'peak', the Millennium ones did reasonably.

Here are the films by box office results (roughly).

King Kong vs. Godzilla
Godzilla
Godzilla Raids Again
Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Monster
Godzilla vs. Mothra
Godzilla vs. Destoroyah
Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla II
Invasion of Astro-Monster
Mothra vs. Godzilla
GINO
Godzilla vs. the Sea Monster
Godzilla vs. SpaceGodzilla
Return of Godzilla
Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah
Destroy All Monsters
Son of Godzilla
GMK
Godzilla vs. Biollante
Godzilla 2000
Godzilla vs. Gigan
Godzilla vs. Hedorah
Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla
All Monsters Attack
Godzilla vs. Megaguirus
Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla
Godzilla: Tokyo SOS
Godzilla: Final Wars
Godzilla vs. Megalon
Terror of Mechagodzilla

Mothra was the peak of the Heisei series, the next two films dipped down, while Destoroyah managed to end the series on a high note. None of the Millennium films were this big.

QuoteNot necessarily.

Um, yes?

I'm not against anyone liking the TriStar Godzilla, and if it gets you into the Japanese films that's great. But I see a lot of people get the facts mixed up when it comes to the repercussions it had on the series as a whole, which are mostly negative in hindsight.

I was just making an example there. They could have infused other characteristics in the design either way -- had they really wanted to really distance themselves. Instead, the plates got sharper, the teeth more irregular, etc. -- certainly not the best way to distance yourself from the american one. This combined with the listed scenes.

I know that the sequel got into pre-production hell and then got the guillotine, yes. The point I am trying to make here, however, is that if the 1998 film had really had this supposedly negative 'scarecrow' effect on Godzilla's popularity, things would not have gone the same way.

The guy who runs the official godzilla facebook page wrote there that

http://www.facebook.com/pages/Godzilla-3D/205113486198635 (http://www.facebook.com/pages/Godzilla-3D/205113486198635)

QuoteFirst and foremost, Godzilla and the other kaijus will be FULLY CG characters and second, this is not how Godzilla is going to look like. Godzilla will have a much more BRUTALLY MONSTROUS look than a straight up-simple-reptilian look and his dorsal fins are equivalent to the ones seen on Godzilla 2000... except more darker than purple or white. Dirty is the best way to describe them.

"the other kaijus"? Oh, i like the sound of that! :)

Good, Godzilla should look like a monster and not an iguana with an oversized chin. I'm guessing the latter part of that announcement means for sure Godzilla is fighting other monsters?

surely it's legit-legit?

The "leaked" concept art for the movie showed 2 other monsters.....

This page has no relation with the actual movie. It's just a random fan page, none of that information is official.

Godzilla vs. Mothra
Godzilla: Final Wars

Quote from: OmegaZilla on Mar 27, 2013, 01:21:12 PMIt's not the definitive, all-sayer source on the matter. There is data it does not consider.

I hate going on about this, but mentioning other factors isn't going to change the fact that the main reason the GTS toys were canceled was because the GINO toys didn't sell well. Like you're saying, why order more Godzilla toys when other lines were guaranteed to sell better.
Title: Re: Godzilla
Post by: OmegaZilla on Mar 29, 2013, 05:18:19 PM
I wouldn't say it was the main reason. Perhaps yes, it did come into factor -- but both Digimon and Pokémon were massive hits, and considering Pokémon was going on since September (around the same time the 1998 was being released in theaters in a lot of countries, and was fresh off theaters in others), they were definitely a huge influence on the choice. :)

And I saw all the Godzilla movies Takarada starred in, though I regret seeing the last one he did. :P
Title: Re: Godzilla

It's true that the GTS toys never got release because the GINO toys sold poorly. I would love those GTS toys as a kid  :-\.

You can keep saying that, but it wasn't uncommon in the '90s for any big movie/show to have some sort of toy line. There was much more variety than there is now. Pokémon was big, but there should have been more than enough room on the shelves for GTS... it's just that GINO was still there.
Title: Re: Godzilla
Post by: OmegaZilla on Mar 29, 2013, 06:02:11 PM
Yes, not uncommon. Simply the distributors saw more potential in those two other franchises and decided to focus on them. The Godzilla series was doing good regardless of former not-great sales. Kids were watching it plenty, they would've picked the toys up.

Pokémon et Digimon (especially Pokémon) simply did better. They became extremely popular at a considerably quick rate. Even a good-doing series like Godzilla wouldn't keep up with them.

On the subject of the toyline that tied into the animated spinoff to G-98. I was surprised that they weren't put out there for public consumption. Seeing the series was consistently the ratings winner of its  time slot. Despite FOX Kids' constant time changes with the show. It got shitcanned mainly by the FOX Kids to make room for the one many anime reruns, and DigiMon.

That's the problem. 

Of all the different Japanese designs you can tell they're from the same family. That's all this needs to be. Obviously you can do more with CG, but a few tweaks here and there is better than a total overhaul...

I wonder what those soldiers (from the helicopter clip) are doing in the woods? Is Godzilla going for a walk through the countryside?

I'm picturing just how awesome a long shot with Godzilla walking by in the distance, with the soldiers silhouettes in the foreground running in front of the camera, goddamn it I want this movie. :'(

GMK and the burning Godzilla design from Destroyah for me, none of the Godzilla's before or after either of those two looked as good to me unfortunately(the original gets a free pass because well it's the original). Final Wars Godzilla being a perfect example of how some of the designs got lamer. He looked like a f**king rat. :P

I'm in deep love with the way the original G was photographed. He has an amazing, stark silhouette. But when it comes right down to it ... his face is kinda funky depending on which model/suit/puppet they're shooting.

But most of the time, in the film, it's gold.

Its called the Toho Kingdom Podcast and as you can imagine we not only talk about Godzilla, but other Kaiju as well from Gamera to Cloverfield and even Pacific Rim! In our latest episode we talk all about the start of filming on Legendary's Godzilla reboot! From the cast to the lawsuit! I hope you all like it! And if you do, please leave a review on iTunes and subscribe to our feed there! I'd like to to a separate topic on this podcast but I'm not sure what section to post it in.

i REALLY like the skin texture on this one and the look of the head... but it looks too cute? lol. (Then again the original toho godzilla design is totes cute.) The tail is also too big... and the arms should be bigger. :P It does look more like Godzilla than the design in the 98 film, though :P

It's a fat, badass Godzilla. But then all godzilla's have been kinda fat..... We are just not used to seeing him in this T-Rex pose once again... I prefer it to the 98 design, myself.

..and wouldnt be too offended if the design in the new american film looked a fair bit like this.  :P

It kinda reminds me of the discovery that the t-Rex was a lot fatter than initially supposed

(Yes, the T-Rex was fat and he also had feathers... he was a giant, fat, killer chicken. Deal. With. It.)

Godzilla is pretty heavily based on the old conception of a 'tripod stance' theropod.

I wasn't referencing ALL of Requiem's art, just his Godzilla stuff.

You see a lot of interesting Godzilla designs out there - with dozens of people behind it exclaiming how it should be the next Godzilla - but very few if any would actually work in a movie. It has to be easily recognizable as Godzilla, not feature the bare essentials.

Interesting.

So far, Godzilla sure seems to be attacking more 'out of the way' places, and less big cities. So far. Gives the movie a sense that it takes place on a larger scale, rather than just one city like Tokyo or New York or something. I like.

Well, there is most certainly a plethora of concept art at this stage of the game.

Seeing as Godzilla is going to be a CGI creation, I'm sure the animators are hard at work building him. I wouldn't expect any leaks until closer to release, when the film starts getting promoted.

Godzilla's going to be CGI; meaning they won't be 'filming' him until post-production.

At maximum we could get maquettes or concept art leaking, but that is unlikely. Hell, they might even be still deciding what the final design should be.

Yes.

When you make a film that is going to feature computer generated imagery -- which is the case here -- you first need to have a filmed shot in order to enhance it with the digital part of it.

This means that they still need to film the actual, real footage. That is the production process. When they finish that, they will 'film' the digital Godzilla -- I put that in commas because it is an inappropriate term: what they will do is composite the animated digital element (Godzilla and misc.) into the shot. That is the post-production process and that's when we could get leaked shots; can't get any now, brcause there literally aren't any.

As I said, at this current stage we can just get leaked pictures of concept designs (non-final and final) and maquettes -- which were approved during pre-production.

I swear there was the greatest fan made teaser ever on YT but I can't find it anymore. It was footage of random destruction scenes with text lines sayng how atomic weapons tests were conducted, then a large creature was sighted, then saying that several ships began to be lost at sea, and then finally that an audio recording of the creature was recovered and it showed an old reel to reel player playing a scratchy sounding tape that ends with Godzilla's roar. Seriously it would be an awesome trailer of the film.

I was watching my Independence Day DVD the other day, and I just now noticed after all these years that the kid is playing with a Mecha Ghidorah toy in one scene. Nice.

It would make the most amount of sense. If we do, they'll likely announce it closer to PR's release date.

It's been hinted that something will be in front of Pacific Rim, whether it's the concept footage or not.

On a related note, there will be one more trailer for Pac Rim.

And any of those things are interesting.

If it's a monster, it may give us a clearer idea of the kinds of designs we should expect.

If it's a map, well, what is described on the map? How does it pertain to the story?

If it's an aerial shot of a disaster site, again, how does that relate to the story? Which monster is the cause?

Coastline, could give insight into locations the movie will take place. Same with the map.

Sure, it may not be a monster, specifically, but it's still worth paying attention to the possibility, and all of the other possibilities that it may be.

I know right, how dare people jaw this over... on a message board... when the whole... point of one... is to... talk about these... kinds of...things. Anyway, yeah, the point is to try and piece together conjecture and guesses for the fun of it. Could be anything - could be nothing - but what it absolutely is, is something to point out and let our desires and imagination do some spot filling.

I was just having a laugh at the fact that there is something on a blurry, half out-of-shot screen in an also blurry cell phone shot of the set, and immediately it's "Look! Monster!" "I can see it's tail!" I remember this kind of stuff too well from the Prometheus buildup, and cannot help but find it comical now.

Yup, you only get a mention of Mavericks and can see the display of the jet selecting AGM 84s when about to destroy Madison (another inaccuracy but I'll be more detailed later).

"...drecting a small little film called Godzilla..."  :laugh:

Looks like the scene will be reminicent of the original where all the refugees of Godzilla's appearence in a big city are huddled in some safe location.

As far as Region 1 Godzilla releases go it's pretty good. It's cheap so either way you should get your money's worth. The documentary covers all the special effects basics. It was going to have an Ed Godziszewski commentary but Toho had to be Toho about it.

Sort of. It's basic behind the scenes creature stuff. The screenwriter and director talk about how they wanted her to play in the story and you see footage of the special effects guys bringing her to life, which is pretty cool. A lot of people were involved just to make her body move, let alone her tentacles.

Post by: OmegaZilla on May 17, 2013, 03:06:45 PM
The 'Godzilla 1998 should have been a remake of The Beast from 20.000 Fathoms' is a trend that arguably started with James Rolfe's review of the former film and became incredibly common since then (many fans tend to adhere to other fans' criticisms they find effective instead of coming up with their own reasons). I'll say this: anyone that has seen (I doubt many that recur to this 'criticism' actually have, just talking in general of course) or just has a clear image of The Beast from 20.000 Fathoms will notice it is decidedly not the case. The similarities Godzilla 1998 shares with that film are few and superficial; it features far more traits of the original Godzilla -- rather obviously. It should also come in play that Godzilla, the original, was inspired to an extent by The Beast from 20.000 Fathoms, too (long story short they knew it was successful and had access to a synopsis) -- so many of these 'common traits' are a consequence of this.

Regarding the reimagination aspect, Godzilla 1998 is far from being the first remake with a let's-call-it considerable liberty with the source material. The Fly is also 'guilty' (?) of that, just as an example. The massive backlash in the former's case definitely finds its origins in the actual extension of the relative fanbase, I would think. The Godzilla fanbase is enormous -- not as big as other fanbases, but still of a considerable mass.

Personally, I think the 1998 film would have went a better route if it had another title, say, 'Scales' (???), and an exclusive name for the creature -- not because I actually agree with those who say it shouldn't be called Godzilla at all, but because it would fundamentally have had more success, and perhaps a pair of sequels like originally intended -- and maybe remembered like Independence Day, an enormous 90s homage to 50s Sci-Fi (the approach was very similar in fact).

But I disagree that it would have had more success if it had been released under a different title. However, that depends on how we're measuring success I suppose. Financially it would have done less business because the GODZILLA brand get a lot of butts in seats alone. Calling it something else would only alleviate the belly aching from fans and general haters who just like to find a wave of negativity and ride that f**ker.   

The film had a terrific build up to the beast but the terrible acting and even worse dialogue made me want to punch myself in the nuts. Who goes to a Godzilla movie expecting great acting and an emotionally stirring, intelligent script? Fans of the original who only wish to see those elements modernized with all the drama left intact. 98 didn't deliver in that respect. For as many things as the filmed nailed, it dropped the ball twice as many times.

The creature was visceral, lean, and the Alien 3 of Kaiju. It felt like a real animal. And like a real animal it had it's own survival in mind. It attacked, fled, and hid realistically when threatened. It wasn't there to annihilate human begins. It wasn't attacking the world it no longer recognized in some sort of dark, psychotic rage. It just wanted to be left alone. This Godzilla borrowed more from King Kong, and Frankenstein's Monster than it did the original Godzilla film.

So for me the biggest problem was the character of Godzilla going from Elemental Force of Nature, symbolic of Nuclear War revisited upon mankind for all his sins ... to Momma Bear defending Cubs. That and the abysmal dialogue and particularly the unlikable character of Audry. And the Major and his aid?  ::) If the characters had been more fun and balanced like the supporting cast of Independence Day the film would have been SO much better for me.

Sorry ... I got sucked in again. I go to post something about Godzilla 98 that can be viewed as positive and I end up getting drawn into articulating why I didn't like it ... once ... again.  :-\

Bat Chain, interesting visual comparison there, but I personally don't see it; the scenes play out very differently. At most it could be said both films have the monster lit by big flashlights at a certain point, but then again so did the original Godzilla.

The 'more success' part of what I said refers to the fact that the bad word of mouth from Godzilla fans was decidedly a huge factor in the film's relative underperformance at the box office.

Godzilla basically follows the Independence Day formula; what Independence Day did with 50s Alien invasion films, Godzilla did with 50s Monster Movies, so you have a giant atomic Monster attacking a city combined with its progeny (which goes on for a THEM! effect), coupled with 'essential' 50s cues. It's also got a similar tone and pacing, it's large -- not as large, but still -- in scale, it's got earth-shattering special effects. It's the same kind of film. With a different title it might've not had the Godzilla name, but keeping everything else (including the viral marketing, again something Independence Day had done) it surely would have had a different, most probably more positive, future.

This again. The film disappointed because it didn't deliver on what people - Godzilla fans or not - expect from a big budget studio Godzilla film. No amount of fan outrage would stop a good year's worth of marketing. The film failed on its own accord.

The 'Godzilla 1998 should have been a remake of The Beast from 20.000 Fathoms' is a trend that arguably started with James Rolfe's review of the former film and became incredibly common since then (many fans tend to adhere to other fans' criticisms they find effective instead of coming up with their own reasons). I'll say this: anyone that has seen (I doubt many that recur to this 'criticism' actually have, just talking in general of course) or just has a clear image of The Beast from 20.000 Fathoms will notice it is decidedly not the case. The similarities Godzilla 1998 shares with that film are few and superficial; it features far more traits of the original Godzilla -- rather obviously. It should also come in play that Godzilla, the original, was inspired to an extent by The Beast from 20.000 Fathoms, too (long story short they knew it was successful and had access to a synopsis) -- so many of these 'common traits' are a consequence of this.

Regarding the reimagination aspect, Godzilla 1998 is far from being the first remake with a let's-call-it considerable liberty with the source material. The Fly is also 'guilty' (?) of that, just as an example. The massive backlash in the former's case definitely finds its origins in the actual extension of the relative fanbase, I would think. The Godzilla fanbase is enormous -- not as big as other fanbases, but still of a considerable mass.

You make a lot of intelligent points. However, I would argue that taken to it's most basic premise, The Beast is "Giant dinosaur attacks American city", whilst Godzilla is "force of nature punishes humanity".
I was going solely off of that, plus the (hotly debated) visual aspects, which to me are much closer to The Beast than Godzilla in shape. (notice I didn't say it was THE SAME as either).

I can safely say I've never read that review, btw.

QuotePersonally, I think the 1998 film would have went a better route if it had another title, say, 'Scales' (???), and an exclusive name for the creature -- not because I actually agree with those who say it shouldn't be called Godzilla at all, but because it would fundamentally have had more success, and perhaps a pair of sequels like originally intended -- and maybe remembered like Independence Day, an enormous 90s homage to 50s Sci-Fi (the approach was very similar in fact).

The reason I always suggest The Beast from 20,000 fathoms for that (or some spin on the name) is because of two factors:

-Almost everyone has heard of that movie

-Almost nobody has actually seen it

Combine those with (IMO) the other similarities and you can get away with a huge number of creative liberties, because the fanbase you'll offend is tiny in comparison with the Godzilla fanbase, so you'll piss fewer people off.

What the f**k were they thinking?

I should also say that my biggest reason for suggesting GINO for The Beast instead of Godzilla, is that I wouldn't care if they wasted that much money on a mediocre popcorn movie with that IP attached to it, it would still be kinda fun and stupid. However, spending that much money on a movie called Godzilla, an IP that means the world to me, and completely cocking it up is unacceptable. 

I was ten when it came out, and I had never been so crushed or disappointed by anything in my short life.

When I was five, on one of my first days of school, we had a "dress up as what you want to be when you grow up" day.

You guessed it. I went as Godzilla.

By the time I was ten, and bursting at the seams for G98, I'd given up my unrealistic ambitions of a career in the radioactive monster industry, but I was even more obsessed. I had a bunch of (cheap, knockoff) toys. I had all the comic books. I had a huge number of G movies taped off of the television.

Then a month or two before the movie was released, I saw the monster. I thought to myself, it's okay. It could still be good. But it wasn't. They even had "Godzilla" die to conventional missiles at the end. I would not be this disappointed by a movie again until six years later with Alien vs. Predator.

But my childhood died the day I saw Godzilla 98. So I can never bring myself to actually like it, and will quite likely use rather gymnastic forms of justification to criticize it wherever possible.

I validated it right after that, with my opinion that King Kong is an inherently boring, two-dimensional monster compared to the big G. This isn't even up for debate in my mind. It's like sports teams. Your one is fantastic, all the other ones suck because they aren't the one you like. ;)

It's bullshit because the design was changed almost exclusively for technical reasons, not because the production staff said "Eh, f**k it".

Bit black and white, don't you think?

Having a preference is perfectly fine, and disliking something is perfectly fine, but hating something simply because of what its not seems a bit...much.

That's an even better reason than mine. Thanks SiL.

And Nightmare Asylum:

Yep, it is a double standard. Everyone has them, I'm just not shy about mine. But hate is a strong word. Just because I think toast is the greatest breakfast there is, doesn't mean I hate cornflakes. I just don't care, and will (semi) jokingly deride them for amusement.

How? The design changes were for different reasons, and besides which, the KKvG Kong is pretty much universally ridiculed anyway. No-one says that he looks fine and that no-one should bitch; they laugh at his horse's arse through a meat-grinder face and point out how f**king tacky he looks.

King Kong is an inherently boring, two-dimensional monster compared to the big G.

The sympathetic, out of his element character who actually feels genuine emotion is boring in comparison to the big brute who pretty much wins every battle (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/GodModeSue).

I think people are trying too hard to be cerebral about it. It was called a Godzilla movie. The sheer amount of shittiness made it fail miserably from being anything Godzilla other than name. However, if you like it cool - for me its an unforgivable sin on the franchise.

Quote from: [CANCERBLACK] on May 18, 2013, 01:28:52 AMRespectfully, I disagree.

I'm looking past the superficial similarities. They're giant reptilian monsters but they have identity. If GINO can be the Beast then I guess Gorgo can be Yongary and so on. The makers of GINO failed to recognize Godzilla was more than a big lizard monster with spikes. 

QuoteAnd King Kong sucks in general, regardless of the version you're watching.

Respectfully, I disagree.

Quote from: SpaceMarines on May 18, 2013, 02:15:41 AMWhy? You can't just say that argument is 'bullshit' and leave it at that. Seems perfectly valid to me.

Saying the Toho Kong is equivalent to the TriStar Godzilla is silly. Kong has always been a simple, charming character and they succeed to do that despite the fugly suits. While TriStar took away what made Godzilla unique - atomic breath, invincibility - Toho gave Kong new attributes... they increased his size and gave him - in King Kong vs. Godzilla at least - electric powers, all in service of the story. Do you have to like it, I guess not, but I think the two Kong films they produced work as what they are much more than what GINO was trying to achieve.

Wow

But yeah, the lack of beam weapons (except in the beam-obsessed Heisei era) and, well, true arms makes it easy to forget that Rodan is/was one of the most powerful kaiju, he took both Godzilla's atomic fire and Ghidorah's lighting bolts without a sign of slowing down whatsoever.

QuoteNautilus (from Greek ναυτίλος, 'sailor') is the common name of pelagic marine mollusks of the cephalopod family Nautilidae, the sole extant family of the superfamily Nautilaceae and of its smaller but near equal suborder, Nautilina. It comprises six living species in two genera, the type of which is the genus Nautilus. Though it more specifically refers to species Nautilus pompilius, the name chambered nautilus is also used for any species of the Nautilidae.

Sorry if it's already been posted. I have followed this page since day 1 and pretty sure I haven't seen it. It was posted as a picture from Deviant Art. Pretty awesome! Same design Legendary released at Comic Con right? Looks like it. I can not wait for this movie! I didn't think I could be more excited for a film than I was for Predators or Prometheus but I am for this one.

Folks... I am NOT scoring Godzilla. Do not believe everything you read on IMDB.
11:16am - 6 Jun 13

It's still a little soon in the game, but now that that rumor came out, he and the studios might actually consider it - unless, ofcourse, he is lying to us all, which sort of feels like it when you read the comments.  It's funny, cause David Arnold, the guy who did the score for the '98 film responded.

Let's hope he actually gets it!

On a side note...

I'm beginning work on a Godzilla fan film called 'GODZILLA RETURNS'
I'll be using my Zilla '98 puppet but making him act and sound more like the Japanese Godzilla.

Here's some rough test footage of the big guy...

I don't  think I'd want to see it as Godzilla, per say, but its definitely an interesting design. Reminds me of a mix between Godzilla and this guy:

I'm highly ambivalent. On the one hand, it's a fantastic sculpture and a pretty cool monster. On the other hand, no. Never. Not for Godzilla.

It's body structure recalls Ymir. The face from the font does look rather butt ugly. Don't know how I feel about the legs ... but the plates on the tops of his thighs are f**king ridiculous. He'd f**k himself up every other step he took. Dorsal spikes should be a little more traditional and less shark like.

It's as different as the 98 design but in the opposite direction.

A giant monster attack doesn't tend to be the most joyous of occasions.

Hmmm. Probably priced similar to Ghidorah? Head looks like it needs to be a little bigger. Can't tell. Love it though.

If they wanted it to be movie accurate, yeah, it would need to be a bit bigger.

That being said, though, I prefer it smaller like in the picture. It looks a lot better to me.

Very nice!

Always hoped Bandai would do a 6" scale figure of Biollante, and all the Showa era kaiju they passed on. Hoping Godzilla 2014 will revitalise their interest in production, as the last 6" figure released was Jet Jaguar in 2007.

Edit: BTW, has there been any leaked images of G's new look?

At the moment, those are the only things we have as indication of what the design may be like.

Hopefully we get smething new soon, though.

No, I assume the purple is a way of tracking the set for later digital effects.

Hell, I'd settle for some of Toho's monsters that haven't been used in a while. The Millennium era wasn't kind to a lot of them.

His eyes are already modeled after lady parts!

Heh, I could've went overboard and said Mechagodzilla or Spacegodzilla.  ;D

Giger-Hedorah? Someone get a picture of that drawn up!!!

Lady parts? Those are the most scariest lady parts I've ever seen!  :laugh:

Nothing to hide here -- Hedorah's 'eyelids' are based on labra majora. Simply.

In a site about Giger art it's not like you can't discuss this kind of stuff.

Btw, I just bought "Rulers of the Earth #1" last night and it was pretty good.  I think it will be an interesting series.  Nice build up to "Zilla" and left us right before Classic G picks a fight with him.  Can't wait for issue #2 soon!

They may not be as heavy as the first but plenty of the films try to say something. The '60s had a lot going on about Japanese/Russian/American relations during the Cold War, which returned with a vengeance in Return of Godzilla. A lot of the Honda films denounce capitalism and of course Hedorah is about protecting the environment. Some of the newer films are about Godzilla seeking out man's energy sources (often nuclear).

There's also the "should we study or destroy" angle that's come up in films like Godzilla 2000. Even GMK circles around Japan's often revisionist history concerning WWII.

You know what? I've been listening to the Pacific Rim score a bit lately and I really like the trumpet solo Djawadi used in "Pentecost".  I don't know why, but I can really hear this as being the main theme for the new Godzilla.  Maybe not so modern with the synths, but I really find the trumpets in this as a fascinating "calling back to a past event/disaster" sound - one that could work with Godzilla.  At least Djawadi chose the right sound for Elba's character.

Sometimes its obvious and some times its not. Godzilla Vs Hedroah is the most obvious with its commentary on the affects of pollution on mankind and the world around us, King Kong is a satire on crass commercialism, Godzilla Vs King Ghidroah is filled with a lot of ideas on the tensions between Japan and America, and so on.

Sadly the closest we've got to the classic world destroyer Ghidorah in the IDW comics so far is Half Century War and it was the Heisei design for whatever silly Toho reason.

The production artwork is awesome and seeing Stan Winston do Godzilla would have been amazing but the story really kills it for me. Godzilla was made by aliens and that totally strips away any meaning or purpose to the character. While I love G98 I know and understand the problems with the film mainly Godzilla's behavior totally unrelated to the REAL Godzilla but it still had the core meaning and theme to it as the original Godzilla. T least it got that right. Have you guys ever read the G94 script? I can find it for you all. I also talk about it some more in my Godzilla podcast if your interested. Awesome Scully sig!

How exactly is a mutated iguana that runs from the military and gets killed by two missiles true to the character? I'll take an alien created Godzilla that actually resembles the Japanese version.

I'm not the biggest fan of the 94 script, but I would've of enjoyed all the set pieces and monster battles over what we got.

The Godzilla crew is such a small group of people that it feels more like an independent movie than anything I've ever worked on." He also goes on to reveal that he has done little work with green screen on the monster epic, stating that director Gareth Edwards has filmed "everything" on location, and will add the CGI afterwards. "I've hardly done any green screen stuff for it, he's [Edwards] really clever at doing the special effects. We'll shoot everything raw on location, on the streets, and he's going to put it all around us." Finally, Taylor-Johnson comments on his training for his role as a soldier. "There's an etiquette for guys in the military, so there was training for that, how to hold guns and how to run and to talk to other officers. I love all that."

That viral marketing, I am so excite!!

I seriously haven't looked forward to a movie in this way for years, maybe since the Prometheus rape that was the final mind rape to rape them all...

It just looks like the movie delivers on what it advertises, what it promises. Sad that that's how low my expectations have gone, just hoping not to be deceived, but there it is. Pacific Rim just feels simple but in a very good way, without loads of hype. I haven't had a good feeling about a film like this since the year long pre-Avengers boner-thon.

I'd say when the remake comes out, they're going to want to get back into the game. If the remake is a success, they'll want to ride that success. If it's a failure, they'll retaliate, like they did in '99.
Title: Re: Godzilla
Post by: Gilfryd on Jul 10, 2013, 11:33:34 PM
They're not going to make another either way. G2K wasn't this lashing out against GINO like so many say. While TriStar fumbled around with a sequel Toho decided to crank one out because their last film, Destoroyah, had been a hit. Godzilla was still viable at the box office. Not so much now. Final Wars and other monster films have bombed big-time.

If this film works and a series is started Toho will just let Legendary handle the character for a while and then afterwards we might see another Japanese Godzilla film. But if this goes to hell like GINO we won't see Godzilla for a long, long time. What happened now and then are completely different situations. The character is in a delicate place.

But not a Final Wars two-sec-its-over-fight. That pissed me off.

Same as Hedorah, who literally enters the film by getting his arse kicked. Give the Smog Monster some LOVE!

I swear to Ming, they better use some original Kaiju in this bloody film, other than Godzilla!

I am kind of surprised that there was no teaser for the flick attached to PACIFIC RIM. It's ten months till the Big-G's full blown return, and the hellacool MAN OF STEEL had a rather bare bones teaser eleven months before the release. I thought with the way Legendary has kept a grip on last year's Comic Con teaser, that they were saving it for this summer in theaters.

Yeah, The Hobbit definitely seems like a safe bet. Or maybe Thor: The Dark World in November.

A nice little article summarizing recent Godzilla news. A few interesting images, though.

Are those Godzilla's spines in the water? Cause it sure seems that way.

And then there's this.

Another little thing reinforcing the theory that Godzilla, in this movie's world, has already been there for a while? Maybe.

And one more thing (For now)

Not being near as big a Godzilla fan as some here, I think that's pretty certain given the outcry after Emmerich's Godzilla. I don't think they'd dare not deliver the classic Godzilla design, even if it's a little spruced-up. They would be lynched and quartered like that f**king goalie!

This is the only design in the bunch of photos (other than that maquette) that isn't directly from a preexisting Godzilla movie...

My first impression exactly. The skin color/texture IS the same. He has some striking cheekbones now though.

I couldn't find a picture from the scene that sells it. When Godzilla makes landfall on the volcanic island in the final scene when so see him coming over the horizon in extreme close up.

His fins have poked out of the water before.

I'm thinking that maquette was used for the concept footage and tweaked since then into the design at the end of the "encounter", which is still not the final look from what I hear. Definitely in the right direction though.

That's the moment in the movie that broke me. That, and the hospital scenes.

Ah um.

Well, still a pretty cool concept art. Ironically very reminiscent of the '98 film.
I've always been confused about that scene, did that guy actually get Godzillla on his line? I mean, the fact that they showcased a struggle and had it yank the rod away would imply so...  :laugh:

That scene was fantastic.  Such a grand entrance.  I hope we get something similar with Gareth's film.

He looks dead-on like the 1984 one... I swear it looks like a scene from that film.

My first impression exactly. The skin color/texture IS the same. He has some striking cheekbones now though.

https://fbcdn-sphotos-c-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-frc1/q71/1005425_10151808552928185_522443490_n.jpg

I couldn't find a picture from the scene that sells it. When Godzilla makes landfall on the volcanic island in the final scene when so see him coming over the horizon in extreme close up.

So.. The Return of Godzilla suit finally resurfaces after all those years...  ;)

Godzilla '84'- one of my favourite G-man designs.

Also ... check that tail tip and dorsal spikes at the very bottom of the pic? Since it's not focused on ... I imagine it's a retro figure?

It's a Godzilla head I've never seen before. Snub nosed, snaggle-toothed, deep set eyes. It's new. Perhaps a concept that was unused? Looks cool to me.

We don't actually see what got the bait.

Even as a kid I always thought that at first a fish had taken the bait, then Godzilla snatched it (and that's when the angling rod is pulled underwater), or something along the lines of that.

I don't believe so. At the very least, most versions aren't.

In Godzilla vs Biolantte, it's implied he might be. When Miki tries to enter his mind telepathically, she's knocked unconscious by Godzilla. Maybe the point of view Godzilla's mind had was just too much, though.

Is Godzilla telepathic? I was wondering about that earlier today.

I don't believe so. At the very least, most versions aren't.

In Godzilla vs Biolantte, it's implied he might be. When Miki tries to enter his mind telepathically, she's knocked unconscious by Godzilla. Maybe the point of view Godzilla's mind had was just too much, though.

Good answer; thanks. I was reading up on his powers and abilities from that link I posted so I was curious.

There is no evidence in any film that Godzilla is telepathic. The only reason Miki gets f**ked is because she telepathically forced Godzilla to leave the area after Godzilla kicks Biollante's ass into never being seen again.

Shit, I meant to say that she attempted to force him to leave. Godzilla is just too strong, mentally, to be coerced by a psychic.

As terrible as the script/acting/pacing was of that film ... the monster (and it's offspring) did shine.

As did that rainy atmosphere.

Awesome Monsters + Rain = A good time. If only Maria Pitillo had done less taking and spent more time in the rain.

The front of the face looks too much like a dragon from every adventure film ever made. And the dome of it's skull resembles a Predator. :P

Not quiite the same so you guys might be able to relax. I do have a feeling that not everyone will be pleased with the design. But I think a simple, straightforward design will be most effective in telling this story.

It's from the Godzilla Encounter event.

They look like designs either inspired by or for the 2013 film. Going out on a limb and saying they are NOT the final design or they wouldn't be on full display like they are.

Private collection?

It would make sense that the 1984 design would be inspiring to Edwards as he would have been just the right age to have been bowled over by it when it hit. It was a HUGE contrast from the last time anyone saw Godzilla back in 1976.

(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fburiedtreasuresjpeg1.tripod.com%2Fsitebuildercontent%2Fsitebuilderfiles%2FGodzilla.jpg&hash=c0f00f6aa4eeb975d3814058640031ad5ba497ee)

Heck look at the contrast between the suit head from 1984 and the animatronic.

I'm guessing we'll see something Saturday. Whether it be official or leaked. It makes sense to go ahead and show the design rather than keep it under wraps. They have to win the hearts and minds of the G-Fans and then they can start tackling the general public with 'look and feel' of the production and the characters.

Yeah. The Showa stuff does have an internal continuity (sort of) but it's not a continuing story. The Heisei series is very much a series that should be seen in order. The Milenium stuff... imagine a series consisting of 'what-if...' stories.

Personally, while the Heisei design isn't my favorite (My top three are 'GMK', 'Tokyo SOS', and... 'Terror of Mechagodzilla', so sue me) the Heisei series has the most consistently good stories.

Hey, same here. I saw the '98 version first, and then we tracked down King of the Monsters at a video stand in a street fair. I tried watching it again recently, but the Burr stuff put me off too much. I used to be fine with it.
Anyway, that's why I searched for the original untampered version. Powerful stuff.

Side note.

Regardless of how you felt about Godzilla '98, I know you all loved the TV show it spawned.

Six hit or miss films, one being the biggest bomb of the franchise.  :(

Quote from: Alienseseses on Jul 19, 2013, 10:53:12 PMthe Heisei series has the most consistently good stories.

I'd say it's the first chunk of the Showa era, the original to Destroy All Monsters in particular. Heisei might have a more strict continuity but it doesn't act like it knows what to do with it. It's no wonder with the Millennium series they decided to tell each story individually, even more so than Showa.

If anyone's watching these in preparation for 2014, I really think it makes all the difference to watch them in order. It may not be necessary but you really get an idea how the character has shifted over the years.

Once the story stops progressing in a cinematic medium, the movie dies. What comes after is simply the In Memorium phase, where everyone gets to reminisce about the movie and how it was made.

Just like when parents show their children photos of a relative they could never meet, and the parents I'm sure get to repeat that that specific memory due to the photos of said deceased relative. Repeat it again and again.

I saw Pacific Rim for the second time last night and I was wondering. Did anyone else get the impression that the kaijus and jaegers seemed small when compared to Godzilla? I dunno, I just envision Godzilla eating them all for breakfast.
I didn't get that feeling at all. In fact it was the opposite for me.

Interesting because there seems to be a consensus that Godzilla would chew right through them.

Power. Though I've read Godzilla is 400 feet tall which I'm pretty sure puts him on equal footing with Gipsy Danger.

According to those statistics you showed from that link I would think that Godzilla would win, but from the three films that I've watched so far(Gojira(1954), Godzilla Raids Again, and Godzilla(98)) I would say that the Jaegers would destroy Godzilla.

Godzilla, especially in the Showa films, is pretty unpredictable, which would make for a decent advantage over the PR kaiju. I mean, who could have predicted that Godzilla would lift up his tail and fly with his atomic breath? That's chaos theory.

So then he'd be a wee bit smaller than Scunner and quite a bit smaller than Slattern, according to official stats. So probably wouldn't chew through them, but judging by his performances elsewhere, the Big G would probably still win.

You know the problem with 'official' stats is they rarely do correspond to the actual measures. I think Slattern's 'official' height is 596 feet (181 something meters), but seeing him in the film I'd say such value's more coherent to the entire length, possibly minus the tails.

Same for the various Toho monster stats.

First I'd ever seen of it. The guy works for Warner Bros./Legendary and the fact that there are two monster designs coupled with this interesting Edwards quote out of comic con:

From iO9
Quote
I asked Edwards whether this movie would be set in the universe of the 1954 film, where the only monster in the world is Godzilla, or whether it would be part of the Godzilla universe that includes Monster Island and all of Godzilla's kaiju frenemies.

Edwards said we'd find out more tomorrow when he unveils some footage from the 2014 movie, which just wrapped shooting yesterday. But he did offer this tantalizing comment. "I'd like to see a Godzilla movie where there are other creatures. And I'm the director of the film, so make of that what you will," he said with a grin.

I've always had the feeling there will be other monsters in the film but not necessarily played as "bigger and badder" than Godzilla. Just others that pop up and are either dealt with by the military or easily dispatched by Godzilla himself. I don't think Edwards would go the route of having Godzilla play savior in this from some larger, more dangerous foe. Godzilla IS that foe. And we have to save ourselves.

Sometimes it's the unassuming small corners of the internet that yield the best shit. I'm 100% certain those images aren't going to be the additional creatures we see in the new film. But I believe that it's good evidence that points to the fact that they have been developing other creatures and that we should expect some in the film.

11:36AM - Incredible footage. Like Cloverfield on steroids. First half shows intimate moments, lots of action, emotion of people running through a world. Then it starts on an action scene of another 4-legged giant monster terrorizing a city. All of a sudden you see Godzilla walking in. A helicopter gets swatted and blows up half of an airport, all of a sudden the foot of Godzilla sets down. And all of a sudden there's a big roar. Final shot is a big, huge Godzilla standing up above the other monster, dwarfing it and the roar. Sounds perfect. Chills.

QuoteThe WB and Legendary logos in Black and white...

Soldiers running through the streets...

A flooded city.

Cranston takes off a radiation suit.

Olsen crying...

Paratroopers leaping out of a plane...

Missles being loaded....

A massive kaiju beast that ISN'T Godzilla!
   
It looks like a massively scaled insect with long spider legs.

It's attacking a dock...

Soldiers are fighting it...

But a massive scaled foot comes down...

It's Gozilla! He's HUGE.
   
He makes the other creature look tiny and moves to attack it!
   
We don't see his face yet, but it looks like the classic Godzilla!

The footage cuts away to a "2014" logo

As far as the other creature, think a combination of the Cloverfield monster and a bug from Starship Troopers

"A military helicopter cleared the scene before a huge mushroom cloud erupted. It seemed to be a period piece – calling back to the US military's atomic tests"

A period piece hrtmm my interest is now sparked.

Also from vulture

Fully 80% of it was just long takes of its stars reacting in fear. Elizabeth Olsen runs across a Superdome-type triage area, crying. Aaron Johnson peers up from a rifle, mouth agape. Bryan Cranston sprints past a passel of military men running the other way. And then came the longest take of all: A giant winged monster attacks an airport tarmac, a scene shot from inside the airport as a crowd of people watch the action taking place just outside the windows. And as we track right past those giant airport windows, the monster setting everything aflame in its path, suddenly a giant presence appears on the right to stop the monster in its tracks: Godzilla. It worked!

Well, that's just the law of numbers there.

They could have had Olsen play a cold, scientist type ... but there just aren't enough women (or men for that matter) that can relate to that sort of female character. Better chance of seeing someone like that in Pacific Rim 2. So Cross you fingers. Or your legs. Whichever.

We got lots of leaked stills from the teaser they showed, and several low quality videos that ultimately got turned into motion gifs. I remember pondering the slithering white eel like creature and the flaming monster leaping down to attack someone. Was that not from Comic Con?

QuoteDirector Gareth Edwards says that his movie will be different from Pacific Rim (although it turns are Godzilla isn't the only monster in the new movie).

"Our movie is set in contemporary time," says Edwards. "It's character driven and has some somber moments." The pace will be more like action movie on the '70s and '80s, according to Edwards

QuoteThe main talking point of the actual panel discussion seemed to be: Monsters director Gareth Edwards is still making basically an indie movie here. He's bringing the intimacy and character focus of a small art film to a big huge Godzilla feature. Aaron Johnston said there's "a great deal of emotion" in this film and we go on a "journey with these characters."

This is what gets me excited about this movie.

Monsters is one of my favorite movies, precisely because it doesn't focus on the beasts. I love the world they created for the film, and the fact that they focused on the humans who are already acclimated to such a world. It even tries to depict the apocalypse not as dreadful, but as uplifting, even with the sadder elements still present.

Funny thing is, there are elements of GINO in there. The chin is heavier than most variations of Godzilla. The snout (whole head, actually) is more angular than it had been in the past. The skin's more reptilian than the Japanese versions, and the spikes are less all over the place.

But the proportions, the motions, are so much more like the original. It's like there's a dial, with one extreme being Gojira 1954 and the other being GINO, and someone toggled it somewhere in between and hit a sweet spot.

I'd pay money for that. I'd hope that's only the beginning of the attraction, though. And a bit more stuff.

I would love if you could walk around a broken city in turmoil with Godzilla causing havoc. Well not a full city obviously, but a "ride" where you can kind of walk around and feel like you're actually trying to escape.

Absolutely not. The project did not spark any interest in me until I actually saw that footage. Before that it all sounded like conservative fanboy shit, with them all being great fans yaddayadda great respect to the character yadda hey no GINO etc. etc.

But seeing that creature in motion made me realize that Edwards actually has the balls to take this into a good direction. This thing is not a carbon copy thank God, and it looks great and effective -- at least from what I can see.

The walk through the street and basic head shape are very G'98.

I think it looks awesome though, the effects work is great. Hope the final design isn't much different because they've seemed to've hit a sweet spot.

This, the chin is more angled than any of the Toho ones. I'd also suggest that the angle at the back of the head is similar, too.

The lower jaw has an evident chin -- not as prominent as the 1998 design, but still with a different angle than the japanese designs, which always just went smoothly. Most of them do not have a 'bulky' lower jaw.

The back of the jaw is also round and moves back in a similar way, and the overall shape is more similar to a rectangle than a triangle, since the eye area is more in line with the snout. Add to that that this creature seems to have a reptilian finish, with big scales and plates and ostheoderms, and there are your similarities.

Aaaaaaand video's gone. Thank God they made the gifs and shit.

That statue really does look like an earlier concept art for the final design. Or maybe it was the inspiration for the final look, as it came from a "private collection".

I love it.

It's like they re-skinned the Heisei Godzilla (particularly from 1992) with 98's superior texture.

New Godzilla's posture has him leaning forward more like a dinosaur ... reminiscent of 98's posture.

Impossibly cool. Just a great, faithful middle ground somewhere between old school and modern realism that we expect from our post Jurrasic Park Sauria.

Most of what's been said is really, really tenuous. His jaw is fatter than regular Godzilla, but it still doesn't resemble G'98; it's just fatter. He's hunched forward, but he's still walking upright, not stretched out like a dinosaur as G'98 was.

Its not so much that his jaw is fat. Its more of the overall shape. Its more of a square shape, just not as drastic as Zilla.

The chin, horizontally-inclined face, and blocky snout, as well as the tough Komodo-dragon neck, are slightly reminiscent of Zilla.
This is not a complaint. Just an observation. It's a distinctive art style.

I maintain that it has traits of GINO to it. They're not overt, but they are there. As people have pointed out, it's subtle things like the jaw proportions, the angular nature of the head and the skin textures. Having said that, it's OBVIOUSLY much closer to the various Japanese Godzilla designs - if it wasn't, then I'd be here bitching about how it looks *too much* like GINO.

Which it doesn't, but there are certain small similarities that I can see as clear as day. I think they've got more to do with what modern audiences expect of a CGI saurian than any intentional reference to G98, however.

Perhaps I meant less to do with the shape of the head, but its posture/angle, which lends it more of a G'98 look to it than any of the Toho designs. It's not as if I don't like it, I love it.

Seriously, what are you guys talking about? The new design is narrower, shorter, more pointed, and lacks the Jay Leno chin which basically defined G'98's entire head.

This comparison gives me chills of joy.  I love both designs, but what really gets me excited here is just finally seeing another well rendered AMERICAN version of Godzilla compared to the last from nearly 16 YEARS AGO.

Funny thing is, there are elements of GINO in there. The chin is heavier than most variations of Godzilla. The snout (whole head, actually) is more angular than it had been in the past. The skin's more reptilian than the Japanese versions, and the spikes are less all over the place.

But the proportions, the motions, are so much more like the original. It's like there's a dial, with one extreme being Gojira 1954 and the other being GINO, and someone toggled it somewhere in between and hit a sweet spot.

Kinda agree in certain aspects, first thing I noticed bottom chin is square, should be more rounded.  His neck is more angled rather than upright.  Other than that I like the design.

Me too I loved the G98 design and the little touches from it in here make it look great. Also I've downloaded the video so I still have it if it goes offline and anyone wants it!

I've been sitting on the sidelines watching this thread for MONTHS to see this leak, never really saying anything but diligently waiting. The ONE DAY i decide to work a 14 hour shift, the promo leaks, and i get home after its already removed from youtube, please sir if you can find it in your heart to please send me this download, I would greatly appreciate it!

God, I hated SpaceGodzilla. They turned the cool Baby Godzilla from GvsMechaG2 into fricking Minya.

I have no recollection of G84, other than that it was kind of morose, and I had a manga version of it for a while.

Godzilla 84 was a mixed bag for me. The monster action, some mediocre effects and model work aside were good, and the Cold War tension and political debate scenes were actually well done and interesting. However, whenever it cut back to main characters the movie would get boring as hell for me.

I think a lot of this just comes from the pseudo realistic direction a lot of big budget movie designs are going. Superman can't even have his trunks anymore.

Quote from: Bat Chain Puller on Jul 22, 2013, 11:50:44 PMIt's like they re-skinned the Heisei Godzilla (particularly from 1992) with 98's superior texture.

Superior how? Godzilla's always had this rough, bark like hide and the '98 design missed the mark completely and gave him standard reptilian movie monster skin.

Quote from: Bat Chain Puller on Jul 23, 2013, 01:52:55 AMYes. And then he sneers/curls his lips a little.

Another thing separating this from GINO, he has lips. Godzilla's always had a face with mammalian features and it goes a long way when 'getting' the Japanese look.

They built the roar from the ground up when doing the American cut of G2K. They had no access to anything from '98. They mention this on the Sony DVD commentary.

Ja, Believe it or not there's a third version- the International dub which is pretty much the Japanese version, but with better voice dubbing. At least, if my ageing memory has served me right. It sounded better when compared to clips from the American dub.

One thing I loved from this version was the inclusion of the terrified scream of Godzilla as he falls into Mt. Mihara, which was added from the American dub.

Do you know if motion capture was used, or is it all keyframe? Actually, would motion capture make any sense? A person driving the performance might work in a suit, but if Godzilla is so big, his motions would probably have a different sort of physics to them.

Dubs are always terrible. It could be a heart-breaking scene and the voices are completly out of sync and emotion.

I don't know what technique they will use. I would discard immediately ILM's motion control (used in films like Starship Troopers and Jurassic Park).

Motion capture is likely, because it registers an actual movement on which you have to partially elaborate -- not to mention that it has advanced greatly since the 90s (they used a very primitive motion capture for some shots in the 1998 film). Add in that they're probably going for the 'for respect to the character we are going to do a virtual suit yaddayaddayadda' approach. Which makes sense from a certain point of view.

Key frame is a slower process because you literally have to animate the model frame by frame and then add motion blur. Like a stop-motion simulation. I personally think that for a beast like Godzilla it would be the best choice. Just see stuff like Pacific Rim, HellBoy II, or even the 1998 Godzilla. All of these used key frame for giant creatures and it looked great, because you can infuse a certain subtle sense of mass and animalistic movements. Motion capture is based on human movements after all, and there are certain kinds of animalistic movements that are more well achieved with Key frame, because you can infuse certain curvy motions. You can also 'teach' a model to move in a certain manner.

Motion capture worked for King Kong, but the model there was a giant Ape, so basing the movements on a human's made a lot of sense. All the other creatures, from the Dinosaurs to the arthropods, were Key frame. If I were the VFX supervisor I would definitely go for Key frame. Quality over time. But I have no idea on the actual approach they are going to use.

BOOOOO!!!!!!!

That's one thing already that Godzilla 1998 will prevail in.
Funny thing is many people don't even know there are practical fx -- some even mistake practical shots for cgi shots! Like, he cgi is so good you don't even notice that amongst the digital shots there are practical ones.

I'll admit I am guilty of that too. You know the shot of Godzilla's plates rising out of the water? The bridge destruction? All practical.

Keyframe isn't necessarily a slow process, because you don't do it frame by frame. You set point A of a motion, and then you move forward however many frames you expect the motion to take and set up point Z. The program fills the actual movement in. Of course, then you refine it, and there are many keyframes, but it's much less time consuming than stop-motion.

It isn't necessarily the same thing, but the better and more crafted you want it to be, the more points you have to make. I said it's like stop-motion because it is a very similar process.
Title: Re: Godzilla
Post by: Alienseseses on Jul 24, 2013, 03:29:12 PM
That's true. And it has the added advantage that at any point you can go back and change an earlier keyframe without having to reshoot the whole effect from that point on.

Exactly. That's the fundamental advantage that CGI has going compared to traditional stop-motion. Technically go-motion marries the best of both worlds, since you can program the movement of a puppet -- but with CGI not only you can redo the movement, but you can apply changes to the model itself, be it of paintscheme or physical structure, in a much quicker time.

With that said though it's equally as difficult to do, because with a physical model you don't have any concern about it having to look real -- because it is. :) The only thing you have to focus on is the performance itself. With a digital model you instead have to render the textures realistically, estabilish light sources and estabilish how the surface of the model will react to it, etc -- it's a nightmare, and much more complex than it is generally given credit for.

True. CGI aint easy. People write it off because while you can observe a stop motion animator tweaking a model on a miniature set, a CGI animator sits at a computer. The work isn't as obvious.
All the same, CGI does have more capabilities at its disposal, which can be (and often are) used as a crutch.

Quote from: Mr. Runner on Jul 24, 2013, 03:03:00 PMDubs are always terrible.

Not always. The international dubs are pretty bad, but most of the Showa films received new dubs from different companies, some of which are done fairly well, particularly those overseen by Peter "Speed Racer" Fernandez. A lot of the Heisei and Millennium movies didn't receive that amount of attention, and what you see on the DVDs are usually the international versions... which are pretty bad, again. The only one to break the cycle is Godzilla 2000, which received a new dub that makes the film seem livelier than it is.

Quote from: Omegazilla on Jul 24, 2013, 03:13:10 PMAdd in that they're probably going for the 'for respect to the character we are going to do a virtual suit yaddayaddayadda' approach.

The CGI in Godzilla '98 is often painfully obvious these days. The helicopter chase looks bad by video game standards and there are a number of times with the Big G walking past that are really, really dodgy.

Still has its fair share of brilliant effects shots, but it's not at all consistent.

Title: Re: Godzilla
Post by: Gilfryd on Jul 25, 2013, 01:48:40 AM
Detailed report from the SDCC presentation -

Last year's teaser, which was played again
It opens with scenes of a decimated city, buildings toppled, smokes, ruin, everything. Remember the piece of concept art last year with people pulling survivors from a fallen building? We see that here. Pan to a huge skyscraper with a hole blasted right through the center. Really, just scenes of destruction and horror, like a dozen tornados ripped through a major city. Then we pan on what looks like one of those pill bugs, the roly-poly kind, and it lies motionless amongst the debris. And all this time, we hear that Oppenheimer quote about the atomic bomb mixed in with increasingly thunderous stomps, getting louder as the scenes pass. Everything then turns black as he says, "and now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds", and what follows SHOOK the room with that insane sound system they have: Godzilla's roar. Cue the second round of applause. The screen goes from black to a huge dust cloud with something moving behind it. The camera pans upward, higher, higher, passing several rows of huge, jagged spines until we get to the head, which turns, rears up and roars even louder than before. This is the scene of the leaked pic that we've had since last year. After that it cuts to the new logo and ends. Cue the THIRD round of applause that lasted quite a long time.

This year's teaser
The footage opened like a real teaser trailer, not like last year's with kind of scratch graphics for the WB and Legendary logos. No voice overs, just stock trailer music. Basically, all the set pics we saw several months back when they were shooting in Vancouver were seen here: The radiation containment unit, the missile on the train, the street at night with cars and various debris on fire, etc. The first few seconds established the cast, Johnston running in his unit at something, Cranston taking off his radiation mask with a shocked expression, Olsen running through the FEMA set towards a child (presumably hers), and our first shot of Ken Watanabe in possibly a naval uniform, either in a command room on land or on a ship. The crowd cheered at this point when he was on screen, as for Cranston. A few more shots, one of the interior of the radiation containment unit, one of the abandoned Japanese village, another of a group of soldiers climbing a hill in a desert as helicopters flew overhead, the camera panning with them to show more of the desert in a wide shot. Cut to a black display of "2014", then we're at the airport as this new monster attacks. From what I could tell, it was almost pure white, kind of greyish in spots, had multiple legs, and some kind of flat membrane on its back. I don't remember its head, honestly. But it was tearing up shit on the tarmac, smashing into planes, even biting down on either one of them, or a bus, I'm not sure. I say bus because the shot resembled the set pic where half a bus was suspended behind a green screen. As this is happening, attack helicopters fly by, shooting at it but having no effect. We follow one of them as it zooms past the beast, only to crash into something unexpectedly, the flames showing it to be a large dorsal spine. At this point the beast causes a chain reaction of exploding aircraft, and the camera pans across each explosion until a HUGE foot comes crashing down. The audience applauds a bit. Now we switch to the infamous scene of the new monster in the foreground, and behind it, unnoticed, a HUGE, black shape with large dorsal fins rises. There is an audible "ooohhhhhh" from the crowd at this point, followed by growing applause which climaxes as the screen goes black for the current GODZILLA logo, coupled with another booming roar to end the footage.

Godzilla's design
Anyways, pretty much everything about Godzilla's design was spot on for me. He was HUGE, in height and in bulk. The spines were very large and jagged, pretty much the same as you saw in the Encounter footage. Skin detail wasn't too noticeable but it wasn't smooth or bumpy, mostly traditional tree trunk style. The roar was the same in every teaser and presentation: High pitched scream that sounds like the usual roar at first, then distorts, then lowers into a guttural "onnnk". It's different enough to be its own, but similar enough to be recognizable. My only gripe was the foot, when it came crashing down at the airport scene. I don't know if it was the angle of the shot, or my eyesight (which is bad), or what but it looked like a literal stump. No distinct toes, at least not what I was expecting in a traditional sense. It looked a lot like the concept statue from the Encounter. Like I said, maybe it was the angle, but what I remember looked more like a stump of a leg than a leg with a foot. All in all, this Godzilla really seems like the one. The one we've been waiting ages for. It's very, very Toho in design and behavior and from what I felt watching it and it is very imposing. I was a little scared watching this thing. Given everything that I saw, and every interview I've read since the con, I really think Gareth and Legendary are on the right track for this. I see very little that they could screw up so far. 1998 was nowhere near the year of Godzilla; 2014 most certainly is.

Not sure if wanted to. I'm pretty sure they are just more work-in-progress models.

The cheeks look very much in line from the video. From this angle the nose is a little ... bat/pig/mole like? Upturned. Godzilla Snob.

Most of the other concept models seem to share the elephant-like feet, so I'm somewhat expecting that to be part of the final design. I personally like that, but a lot of people on some other forums seem to hate the idea.

It was the same with Godzilla 98. The design was different and people lost their shit over it. It didn't break the film (the film did that on it's own) but a lot of the haters were so preoccupied by the look of Godzilla 98 it over shadowed the terrible film itself and largely took the blame.

I feel like the opposite might be true with this new film. That the different look of Godzilla (his stump feet or needle snout) will over shadow the quality of the film he's in. I'm not the biggest fan of that particular model ^ ... but I do have faith that with the proper lighting and staging it will be staggeringly cool to behold.

I've been revisiting The Return of Godzilla/1984/Godzilla: 1985 in recent days. Comparing the different cuts of the film. The American version with an older Raymond Burr reprising his Steve Martin role has it's good and bad points. It felt more a product of it's time. A hard 'Cold War' back drop that seemed missing from the Japanese version that tapped into the tension of the times. (At the expense of the Russians who were painted to look like heavy handed war mongers in the American cut but were actually heroic in the Japanese cut.)

Also love the music New World Pictures added to the film from Def-Con 4.

Ridiculous Dr. Pepper advertising though.  :laugh:

Good! I guess that now they can surf on the fact the footage and stuff has leaked over the webs... see what the fans don't like and tweak over it rapidly.

Shouldn't take too much to modify the model. I wouldn't even be surprised if the maquette we have seen is the currently-final design... and disguised as an 'earlier' design just to calm eventual shit storms, and see what fans think is 'wrong' with it.

I haven't, but apparently it's not worth the money due to its numerous errors. On the other hand Japan's Favorite Mon-Star by Steve Ryfle, which was written around the same time, is usually considered THE book on Godzilla in America, although it doesn't cover the Millennium films (they hadn't come out yet).

Pitching Destroy all Monsters to Hollywood executives would be caaaaake.

"Destroy All Monsters is The Avengers of monster movies"

I'm excited for what they could do with it. It's basically Jurassic Park, but with the biggest baddest monsters held captive on an island. Something worse shows up and they have to release the monsters to save earth. (I think that would work better than aliens taking control of the monsters and using them to take over the earth.)

They could even set Destroy All Monsters in the future a ways to be able to use more present day locations for movies that would go back and establish the origins of which ever monsters were popular with audiences in the film.

Patrick Tatopoulos has definately left his mark on contemporary creature design.  This guy has an uncanny resemblance to Godzilla 1998.
Title: Re: Godzilla
Post by: Alienseseses on Jul 29, 2013, 05:07:31 PM
The biggest difference (and there are a few) between this design and the G98 design is the structure of the skull around the eyes. More brow, more forward facing.
There are similarities as well, but this is certainly leaning more towards a T-Rexified Toho design than a 98ified redesign.

That sculpture highlights the cheekbones more. That was a trait of the 1998 design (which again was supposed to be a 'dragon with a realistic finish'), as is the thick lower jaw.

Regardless I don't think this looks anything like a Tyannosaurus. It simply looks like a design based on the Godzilla archetype wih a texture that looks reptilian.

I think it is a sculpture based on the trailer/footage and thus not an indication of the final design. It does look pretty great though, and I would love it if they used that head/neck appearence.

Some shots from the Hawaiian set of GODZILLA, and a cool, yet creepy, 1954 viral video.

I've actually never known who Manda is till now when using google, I've seen but have not known him.

It also lead me to the movie which Manda is solo in "Atragon", released in Japan as "Undersea Warship".

QuoteThe legendary empire of the lost continent of Mu reappears to threaten the world with domination. While countries unite to resist, an isolated World War II Captain has created the greatest warship ever seen, and possibly the surface world's only defense.

I don't know if I could be bothered to go out of my way to see this. I watched lots of Godzilla movies when I was little, I think I've pretty much seen the vast majority of Godzilla movies.

But today there are only 2 movies out of that vast bunch that I'll watch gladly. Godzilla: King of the Monsters (1956), and Rodan (1956).

I've never seen the original Godzilla (1954) largely because I have never been able to access it, though once upon a time it was a "Things to do before I die" list sort of thing. A long time ago Dad bought Gojira (1954) on ebay, but when we turned it on we found out we were scammed as it was the American King of the Monsters version.

Rich, it's available at most major retail outlets. Heck in 2006, I think it was, the original Gojira was released on a 2-disc DVD set and just two years ago I believe, on Blu-Ray.

Daww.

Also, I sketched this. I wanted to draw something inspired by the hand-puppet version of Gojira that they used in the closeups of the original movie. Came out more T-Rexy than I expected, but so it goes.

It should receive 4 issue collections if the previous two ongoings are any indication. It just depends how many issues for Rules of Earth they do in total. The other two lasted 12 each and 8 so far are confirmed for ROE. So it definitely helps to pick up the individual comics if you can.

...Actually it's longer than most of the Final Wars fight scenes but that's not the point.

It's just nice to see Zilla given some actual credibility in a fight with Godzilla for once.

I honestly think that was a bulls**t call. What did they forget that Hedorah couldn't be killed with the ray or did they hope that people would forget?

Probably just wasn't room in the film for another protracted fight, so they hoped everyone would forget.

Gonna be honest, if the design turns out to just be Heisei Godzilla with no changes, I'm gonna be angry.

Pretty much this.

And come to think of it, I still haven't seen most of the Millenium films.

I actually got to see the Japanese version of KKvG for the first time earlier this week. it's undoubtedly superior to the Americanized version, but that one still holds a lot of nostalgic value for me. Some of the differences were pleasant surprises, though, like the navy stopping Tako to inform him that Kong is considered smuggled goods and that he'll be held responsible for all damages. :laugh:

No joke as a kid I had been following GFW on the web for a long time and I REALLY wanted to see it and thought it would be awesome but when I finally rented it from Blockbuster I got to the part where the Xillian's head splits open and I shut the film off. I was CRUSHED. Now I actually enjoy GFW, but much in the same way I can enjoy AVPR cause if I were to even START to think about either film I get nose bleeds.

Random but G2K and GMK are my bets for best of the Millennium series with GXM and SOS behind.

It is all action, no substance, it has plot points that go nowhere, and shamelessly rips off other movies. It is pure idiocy.

It is incredibly entertaining. Frankly, I'm not really sure why people get so upset about it.

Is it because many of the monsters get shafted and beaten to easy? I understand that complaint, but Godzilla kicks so much ass in this movie that its hilarious.

Final Wars comes off as a drug induced celebration of Godzilla. AVP:R is just shit.

Final Wars is about as disrespectful to Godzilla's legacy as GINO was. It's meant to be this big, 50th anniversary celebration of not only Godzilla but Toho's entire sci-fi and fantasy catalogue, but Godzilla has around 12 minutes of screen time in a 2 hour movie and the monster scenes in general go by in quick montages. It had a substantially larger budget that previous films in the series but Kitamura choice to spend it on frivolous shit. He liked Godzilla about as much as Emmerich and only took the job to get work in Hollywood (look how that worked out for him). It was the biggest bomb in the franchise and other monster films released after (including Gamera the Brave) have bombed as well.

I would argue that Godzilla 98 is more respectful than GFW because it was at least an honest attempt to do something new and different with the character. At least Godzilla is some what of an actual character in G98 as opposed to Godzilla in GFW. I remember being a young kid and being excited beyond belief for this film when I read an interview with Kitamura where he said he wanted to make a Godzilla movie for the Matrix generation. I think that's when I began to realize this film would hurt.

Once again I highly recommend you guys check out the show I help produce called the Toho Kingdom Podcast, and before everyone freaks out no we really are not like the crazier members of the TK forums. Our show is a very laid back honest geek out session between fellow Godzilla fans. If you guys want to see us cover anything that we haven't yet let me know!

Quote from: cloverfan98 on Aug 13, 2013, 01:42:13 AMAt least Godzilla is some what of an actual character in G98 as opposed to Godzilla in GFW.

He's not really a character in either. He's a pest in GINO and an afterthought in GFW. But at least in GFW he looks and acts like he should.

Quote from: KiramidHead on Aug 13, 2013, 02:14:21 AMGodzilla's Revenge is waayyyyy worse than either of them, IMO.

It's not really a Godzilla film. It's a film about a kid who likes Godzilla movies. It's not an ideal movie about the character but for what it is - a cheap matinee flick aimed a kids - it serves its purpose better than both GINO and GFW.

Think of it as Ichiro remembering the Godzilla movies he's seen. It certainly utilizes its stock footage better than the Gamera movies around it.

You know what? On principle I hate Godzilla's Revenge but if you are a die hard classic Godzilla fan I can see why ypu'd prefer it to GFW and G98. It does have a certain charm to it and that wonderful Showa feel to it.

I'm actually prepared for Godzilla to be just as successful as the Rimjob, and plan on stroking them lovingly as they sit on my DVD shelf beside each other, fantasizing about Godzilla tearing all the Jaegers apart... before facing the Kaiju, and then tearing all them apart!

Thankfully, just about every disaster movie trope they could fit made it into Emmerich's Godzilla, so all they have to do is avoid anything and everything that movie did, and they should come out with something passable. :laugh:

He ignored buildings and hid underground the majority of G98 so that doesn't work.

On a different note better look at that Godzilla 2000 SHMA figure.

You see, in the prequel movie called Godzilla, made by Americans in 1998, it was shown that she's actually female when she attacked New Yorks.

There, she proceeded to make a nest and lay hundreds of eggs, but only three survived. The first one was sent to the past by people in a UFO and attacked Tokyo, being killed by the Oxygen Destroyer.

The second one became Kiryu, after uniting with the Humans, and began to hunt the other Godzillas.

The third died, but became an evil ghost and fought Anguiris, Varan and Baragon. It won, and became a good guy again, and was referred to as Junior. It was defeated by Satan, which caused the original 1998 to throw a shit fit and blow up the thing.

This is all like totally canon. You should feel ashamed for not knowing this.

Well, when I walk through a forest and there are slender trees that are taller than me would bend and break out of my path simply because I have the will to knock them down. Remember that everything aside from the castle you have in that gif is actually less than Godzilla's height, and just an unwitting non-obstacle for him to lumber through slowly, whereas in 98, everything was a goddamn maze of NYC skyscrapers.

Thanks for sharing that!

You and Keras are most welcome. I loved seeing the actor move around in the suit. It gave a better idea of how cumbersome it is.

This.

I love people in suits rather than doing CGI (even though its possible to do more things with CGI) , same goes with animatronic.

Great example, the Xeno from A L I E N  , made me feel it was real.

Which comes from making him a crouching theropod looking thing avoiding confrontation. He's meant to be a huge mountain of flesh that bulldozes through everything and gets angrier when you try to do anything about it.

Anyway, preview of ROE #3 - out today!

Looks like we finally have confirmation on who is doing the score for the movie.

http://www.legendary.com/films/godzilla (http://www.legendary.com/films/godzilla)

QuoteThe behind-the-scenes creative team includes Oscar®-nominated director of photography Seamus McGarvey ("Anna Karenina," "Atonement"); production designer Owen Paterson ("The Matrix" trilogy); editor Bob Ducsay ("Looper"); Oscar®-nominated costume designer Sharen Davis ("Dreamgirls," "Ray," "Django Unchained"); and Oscar®-winning visual effects supervisor Jim Rygiel (the "Lord of the Rings" films).  The score is being created by Oscar®-nominated composer Alexandre Desplat ("Argo," "The King's Speech").

I have no idea who this is huh.

I have no idea who this is huh.

Looks like someone WB and Legendary use for a lot of their movies:

Curious Case of Benjamin Button

Deathly Hallows: Part 1 and 2

Rise of the Guardians

Looks like Wes Anderson likes him as well:  Moonrise Kingdom and   Fantastic Mr. Fox

The Golden Compass

Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium

also did Zero Dark Thirty

Did a lot of foreign films (based on IMDb) before Hostage.


So he has done a wide range of films, shouldn't be anything to worry about

Desplat?  Not too fond of his work.  I would have even preferred Giacchino.

Ah well, he shouldn't do TOO bad.  I just think there are far more capable composers out there.  He better pay tribute to the king!

Giacchino would have been amazing. Cloverfield's Roar song was so f**king good, and something with quality like that for Godzilla would have been awesome.

I've been listening to some of the other work Desplat has done since legendary's site listed him as composer. Still not sure how I feel about it being him, but for the most part I like what I've heard.

Why does it look like he's wearing his pants up to his chest? (the belt) That's some looong pants.

You ask this in the Godzilla thread?

Yeah ?

Sorry is it not Godzilla related?

Shall I just make a Godzilla vs. Destroyah thread ?

Not everyone has seen the movie so keep your panties on pal.

"You ask this in a Godzilla thread?" I don't know how you misinterpreted that, Commander. To the point where you even made it a thread. I'm hoping it's just you being super sarcastic...

Yes actually you should.

This is a Godzilla thread.

Not a Godzilla Vs Destroyah thread.

It's just common sense.[/b]

and you was winging when I put it in the Godzilla thread so make your mind up you idiot.

Title: Re: Godzilla
Post by: KNIGHT on Sep 05, 2013, 12:48:37 PM
The only one that would technically count as a remake would be 1998, since 84 was a sequel to the original.

Title: Re: Godzilla
Post by: OmegaZilla on Sep 05, 2013, 12:54:17 PM
The 1984 film was what we'd call today a 'reboot'... started anew attaching itself to the source material and ignoring what came after the original and before itself.

"Do you think monsters like Bagan and Red Moon will ever make an appearance?"

No, unfortunately. Our licensing agreement with Toho Co., Ltd. is for monsters that have appeared in the film series and not ones from video games or projects that never materialized.

I think the reason a lot of people liked Bagan is because of his theme music.

^ That one's been out for a while.

Destoroyah's sort of an overblown design, especially the final form... everything they tried to do there was done so much better with Legion a year later in Gamera 2.

I don't get the obsession with Bagan and other unused concepts either. I guess because we were that close to getting them, but IDW is the first comic book publisher to have Toho monsters alongside Godzilla, with close to 30 so far... that should be exciting enough.

Not that one (though I wish I did) but I did have a large Zilla figure that was about 18" tall and had controls on its back to swing its tail, stomp, roar, etc...plus another one that had a tank tethered to its leg. They crop up on eBay from time to time.

Its one of the better interpretations...however I feel as though the designers always get the eyes wrong. Big G's eyes should be much bigger vacuous and especially reptilian.  Riffing off of gecko eyes could have made this interpretation more intimidating by making them apear less relative to human eyes. I think the tiny eyes do sorta give big G an almost geriatric appearance as DoomRulz suggested.

Who doesn't love Godzilla? While I find a lot of the films silly, especially the latter part of the showa series, a lot of them are also very enjoyable. The few games from the franchise I have played I tend to have enjoyed as well. The new film in production finally looks like atonement for GINO that will be worth the 16 year wait. Godzilla is one of few franchises that not only will never die, but will get stronger as time goes on.

Yes, up to Godzilla vs Megalon. Godzilla was mostly just wanting to be left alone so far and would fight if he was convinced by another monster, tricked, mind controlled or threatened. Then out of no where he just becomes first response for monster attacks.

In the Showa series there's this slow transition from evil, to reluctant hero, to full on superhero. When the series came back in the '80s he took on a 'force of nature' persona which he's more or less had since then.

New Gojira reminds me of the 89 + the GMK design with some more "realistic" skin textures.

lookin good!

Post by: KNIGHT on Sep 13, 2013, 05:12:03 PM
If i had to make one change, after seeing it next to all the past designs, I think I would give it a bit rougher skin. Maybe once we get a better image of the design that will change, but right now it just looks a bit too soft skinned in a way.

That may just be the lack of spikes it has oh the forehead, though.

But yeah, the franchise is divided into three series -
Showa (1954-'75)
Heisei (1984-'95)
Millennium (1999-2004)

Eh, they were mainly considered domestic releases. GMK was close to a US release but Sony felt the 'man in suit' thing put people off from seeing G2K. Toho hoped Final Wars would be an international film but when it BOMBED in Japan that went out the window.

Here's a look at Rulers of Earth #s 4-7 along with the Vol. 1 trade paperback containing the first four issues

Brainwashing is a complex science involving quantum thought database techniques and nuclear fission exploitation. The person brainwashing would require not only a complex system of mechanics, along with a computer capable of running trillions of complex subroutines at the exact same time, but would also require a way of transmitting this data to their subject's mind. They would need to replace the thought process and subconscious of the subject entirely, and replace it with a near identical version, although with slight variances to get the results they want. Assuming the body doesn't jut completely reject the new mind,  doing so in a way that would not be noticed easily would be even less likely or possible.

AKA Brainwashing is BULLSHIT and my brain is dry clean only.

The original describes him as a possible link between dinosaurs and marine reptiles. The Heisei series came up with the Godzillasaur thing and that origin only really applies to those movies.

But when it comes down to it, he's a nuclear-powered dinosaur. He's an irradiated throwback we don't understand.

Not really. The Xiliens were able to control the Mutants based on the M-base in their genes, which came from their Xilien heritage (they were the descendants of Xilien/human hybrids). The Xiliens were able to control earth's monsters by injecting them with that M-base. They weren't aware of Godzilla, so he was never altered.

It looks tame.

It was mentioned there were smaller ones that Godzilla towered over these are probably those, or since it's a rough sketch it's most likely not as detailed as the actual one which probably looks more ferocious.

Time will tell when they release that goddamn trailer.

Their head has a very "Toho monster" vibe as opposed to a typical 21st CENTURY OVERLY DESIGNED MONSTERS vibe.

At this past year's San Diego Comic-Con, a Godzilla teaser trailer was shown and featured an unknown Monster battling Godzilla in an Airport. One of the attendees has re-created what that Monster looked like in sketch-form, which you can see below. This new Monster fits the "insect-like" description many other attendees had also described.

Time will tell indeed. I never considered Anguirus a major threat to Godzilla just because the size difference is so nuts. To me, whenever I think of a Godzilla-sized enemy, I think of King Ghidorah, Rodan, Ebirah, etc... not a quadrupedal creature.

If Spielberg were directing this, he would try to infuse Godzilla's DNA with human soldiers or some shit.
Final Wars had something like that. Don't remember precisely, though.

Speaking of Spielberg ...

In the Heisei Godzilla vs King Ghidorah it was implied that Spielberg was inspired by his enlisted Fathers tales of UFO's and surviving dinosaurs on remote islands.   :laugh:

Quote from: Gilfryd on Sep 19, 2013, 07:36:16 AM

But when it comes down to it, he's a nuclear-powered dinosaur. He's an irradiated throwback we don't understand.

I don't think I'd mind if he's origin is owed more genetic shenanigans that the ol' mutation via radiation cliche. I think I might actually prefer Godzilla to be an ancient creature that simply was stirred up by humans in some form or fashion, rather than creating him.

That's what the original implies more or less. He was irradiated and displaced by H-bomb tests. There was no mutation in a transformation exactly. It was the Heisei series that had a surviving theropod somehow turning into an 80, and later 100 meter, upright walking nuclear reactor. And then the Emmerich version has an iguana miraculously turning into a huge dinosaur like beast.

I meant the original. He's a some semi-aquatic dinosaur awakened by the bomb.. that also happens to breathe fire. Now, if it turned out he was a dragon that was mutated by radiation...

I would assume not. He's meant to be the embodiment of the bomb in the original so that's where the idea stems from. He does take as much from dragons as he does from dinosaurs though (just look at his face). It's not meant to make sense exactly, but it's one of the cooler things about him and I can't even begin to comprehend why they would get rid of the atomic ray in favor of something that's essentially fart breath for the '98 film.

He also used it twice in the film which added more to the idea of Godzilla as a wimp. In the Japanese films whenever he's attacked he basically looks at the military forces with a look of, "Really? Really?" and then blows them all away with his breath. Zilla seemed to forget he could do the same up until two Humvees chased him away.

Another thing worth noting is they added the flames and explosions to some of those shots after the fact. He wasn't even supposed to 'breath fire' at all, just push stuff with his fishy breath. And some of those shots remain in the movie. Like, I can't even wrap my head around making a Godzilla movie where you can't even accept one of the major things about him. It's just astonishing they got away with it.

Anyway, Godzilla fights his final Heisei enemy in ROE #4

In the 1998 film they refer to him as a "mythological sea monster" or something of that effect, within that universe Godzilla is known in Japan as folklore, a legend, not real. That is until a nuclear blast mutates a lizard creating a large animal that closely resembles the legend within the film thus getting the name Godzilla. (this I'm sure you're fully aware of)

The movie constantly reminds us that this is a totally different version to previous incarnations of the character, whether you like it or not, its Godzilla.

As Omega said Zilla is a parody, nothing more.

And there's a reason, as Zilla, it was blown up in Final Wars, but then again even classic Toho monsters were quickly dispatched in that horrible movie, which is as much as a stain on the franchise as GINO is.

While some feel it's their God given right to remain butthurt about the'98 flick. I thought the animated series follow up on FOX, which was a consistent ratings winner, until FOX being FOX, kept moving the show's timeslot, and replaced it with Digimon, would've gone a long way to repairing Godzilla'98's rep. I think, well hope, once the new flick comes out. Like fans got over the Schumachering of the Batman franchise with Chris Nolan's BATMAN BEGINS, I think this will aid in the healing.

In Godzilla 1998, they merely treated the creature as how an actual animal would react to an unfamiliar force trying to attack it.  That's what gave the movie a more believable element for me.  THEN, after Godzilla figured out it's enemy, it began to fight back in surprise attacks, as an intelligent creature would.  If you ask me, G98 was a far more intelligent portrayal of a Godzilla - not just standing there and roaring at missles and trying blast fry its enemys left and right.

Again, Godzilla 1998 is just a different take on Godzilla.  It was never trying to shit on the original.

It didn't run away. It made itself chased in order to make a surprise attack (jeeps, helicopters). Bulldozed on other things. The second time it probably wanted to reach the nest after it realized it was another trap.

If it ran away, it wouldn't go towards the things fired at it; which is what it does in the first trap scene and before jumping in the river.

Gojira leveled Tokyo.

GINO scratched a few buildings and dug some holes in the city's underground.

The Thing had no sequels and in the remake Carpenter was actually closer to the short story that inspired it all.

The Fly had two sequels, and with the original sticking pretty close to its story Cronenberg felt it was necessary not to retread.

The difference is that Godzilla was a big franchise with 22 sequels (at the time), and with a recognizable leading image. And Emmerich/Devlin basically looked at that and rolled their eyes. They only agreed to do it if they could change everything, and hot off ID4 they were allowed to. And if you think their resulting film is in the same league as near-masterpieces like The Thing or The Fly you're out of your mind.

Spinosaurus' teeth were conical in shape, and wouldn't be able to withstand the force needed to crush bone. The only thing a Spinosaurus has going for it is reach. The Rex was MADE to crush bone.

Plus they lived on two separate continents, comparing them is absolutely ludicrous.


Spinosaurus and Carcharadontosaurus would be a better comparison.

Dont forget this is not based on "real life" stuff,  its going to be right out of a comic book kind of idea.

Obviously I knew that an orginal Spino wouldnt be able too take on Godzilla him self lol.

I am planning on making Spino much larger and giving him powers too , going to be out of this world ;)

MARVEL's Godzilla run.

24 issues in the late 70's. Glorious comics. Godzilla is pursued by the Helicarrier from Alaska to New York and fights aliens, super heros, gets shrunk and fights rats, sharks, and the Fantastic Four. Then he time travels to the dinosaur age and fights with Devil Dinosaur before becoming his pal. Then he comes back to present day and fights The Avengers in New York City.

Kind of agree. At times it sounds way too much like a high pitched squeal.

When it gets to that low, rumbling part of the roar, though. Just perfection.

Yeah, the roar might need some tweaking but I liked the mood the trailer set. At least they seem to be going in a serious direction unlike the '98 version. I don't know how serious it will end up though but I hope the movie has this kind of tone.

Okay ... the roar.

Starts out classic Godzilla but then there is this purring/gurgling/trilling sound like a super sized Predator mixed into the middle ... then the ending exhalation ... (which has always sounded like a HUGE metal door or a dumpster scrapping on a metal floor in a big echoing warehouse) ... is deeper. Much deeper. 

I don't know about the trilling being in the mix. It's kinda distracting. As if we're hearing another, smaller creature growing with Godzilla roaring the the background.

I hope the 2001 score is a good indicator of what we are to expect in tone of the soundtrack.

Pretty sure it's something entirely new. The only think that it kind of vaguely resembles is Ebirah, but it seems more bug-like than crustacean.

For all we know, though, it could just be a placeholder used for the teaser and not one of the actual monsters in the film. Godzilla's look seems to have changed a bit between the teaser and the poster.

Don't know about watching it on the net, but there is a torrent for it- along with every other film, except G-1998.

They're in japanese with english subs, though. Unless you're like me and enjoy it.  :)

My problem is that the "bass drop" just sounds awkward. It sounds like he's got a breathing problem he's gotta work through before the actual roar comes out.

I like since it takes us back to the deep more guttural roars from the first movie.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xq6_1Sk5Wvk# (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xq6_1Sk5Wvk#)

I find it much more fitting for something that size to sound deeper in comparison than the higher pitched Showa roars that most people are familiar with.

Like the original movie, I doubt this will be the only roar they use just add little more oomph at the end, and it will be fine.

You need to register with the site, it's free and safe, BUT never download the driver it keeps nagging you to do. Registering bypasses the bs, just make sure you are signed in when wanting to watch something.

Hope this helped.  :)

Gotta say that was probably the beat teaser ive seen in a long time.

Im not a huge fan of godzilla, but as a kid I watched many of the movies when they were on tv and that godzilla roar is probably my favorite part of godzilla.

I liked the new roar, the shortness and lacking of base wasnt anything out of place in my opinion. I seem to recall godzilla doing short roars like that before.

None of this "Yeah, millions of people died, but we won't show you the aftermath" shite.
To be fair, the reason a lot of those movies don't show the dead bodies is because actually seeing piles of dead bodies really switches the energy to something drastically more depressing/somber. Like, if we saw all of the bodies there would be in Pacific Rim (think about the scene where little Mako is running away from Onibaba), it would just make it way too grim for the tone of the movie. Judging by how haunting the Godzilla trailer was... I'd say the tone it's trying to set is quite grim.

QuoteEdwards told the website that his crew tried to stick to the 1954 original film.

Quote"We tried to keep that, and there are a lot of themes from '54 movie that we've kept. To me, if all we did was just have monsters smashing things up, then the film would be pointless. The great thing about the 1954 Godzilla is that beyond the spectacle and epic enjoyment of seeing giant monsters smashing a city, there's another layer to the movie that you could take or leave,"

The death in The Avengers was mostly implied (the board with a bunch of deceased civilians' pictures posted on it at the end being one of the biggest examples of that). Which is very fitting, given the film's tone.

With this take on Godzilla, we seem to be in store for something more graphic and, as a result, more horrific. Which gels perfectly with the teaser. So I'm really, really excited for this.

Just need to get my hands on the Japanese cut of the '54 film between now and this one's release.

Pretty sure it's confirmed that that's the final design.

Could've sworn that they said they have yet to reveal the final design.

So what trailer did I just miss?

You know what I like about the leaked teaser that's relatively new to the Godzilla franchise?
Godzilla feels big. I never had that sense before. With a man in a suit, I could always tell it was a normal sized person stomping on miniatures or being superimposed. But this has a real sense of scale, and I can't fathom how scary it can be when Godzilla unleashes his nuclear furnace breath in the new film.
Title: Re: Godzilla
Post by: ShadowPred on Oct 10, 2013, 07:13:12 AM
I f**king feel ya. When I saw this new leaked trailer I was tensing up a bit when the Halo jumps where made. I though those dudes were gonna come across Godzilla's freaking face as soon as they went through those damn clouds. I was actually scared for a bit there, because god damn if that sense of scale isn't terrifying as hell.
Title: Re: Godzilla
Post by: Cal427eb on Oct 10, 2013, 07:16:19 AM
Finally, I can agree with other people on something when it comes to Godzilla. Past Godzillas either looked too cartoonish or dated to affect me at all. Now I actually feel terrified for people that would encounter this f**ker.

No, what I mean is, that the frame rate seemed to drop and stutter a lot during those scenes.

I would disagree. Zilla was big but I never got the sense that this was a particularly overbearing monster. Honestly I felt more threatened by the T.Rex in Jurassic Park.

The monster scenes looked a little jerky to me, but I thought that was just the way they were animated.

None of this "Yeah, millions of people died, but we won't show you the aftermath" shite.
To be fair, the reason a lot of those movies don't show the dead bodies is because actually seeing piles of dead bodies really switches the energy to something drastically more depressing/somber. Like, if we saw all of the bodies there would be in Pacific Rim (think about the scene where little Mako is running away from Onibaba), it would just make it way too grim for the tone of the movie. Judging by how haunting the Godzilla trailer was... I'd say the tone it's trying to set is quite grim.


Well, I know this is a late reply and that the conversation has moved on, but I was stuck in hospital this week. While I largely agree that it wouldn't fit the tone for Pacific Rim if it was ham-fisted, it could have been worked in, in a sombre but not GrimDark way. Off the top of my head, it would have worked well to show a brief shot of the human side of the devastation during the opening montage, something along the lines of a few 2-3 second shots of people screaming while holding a dead loved one, corpses in the streets, but very fast, and right before the shot of the people holding hands on the wall, to balance the tone and add a note of fatalism to the pre-Jaeger timeline that changes to hope with the advent of the suits.

FANtastic! You were very patient with your compositing. All those layered elements flying around with the timing just right ... I really appreciate the work that went into it. I'd give you a BIG pat on the back if I could reach across the Atlantic. All those bits and pieces of Big Ben (That was Big Ben yes?) flying apart in flaming debris make me think of you toiling away in photoshop, carefully constructing fragments of photographs ... then animating them all ... just ... hats off brother.

I used some of the same destruction elements for when I made Godzilla come ashore in my hometown. Specifically finding realistic 'water splashes' was one of the bigger challenges. I see you ran into the same issue of trying to make small water droplets appear to move in a slow-motion way to give scale.

The puppet comes off great. I only wonder why you switched to the trendmasters toy for a couple of shots. I smiled and remembered the classic Godzilla movies where sometimes the suit would inexplicably change during a fight sequence only to switch back a few seconds later. (I now know they re-used shots from earlier films ... and when had a special suit for when Godzilla took to the water.)

Great reactions shots to the destruction (you must have a stable of friends who endure your mad film making aspirations as I do!)

Dat after credits scene.

Quite likely just a creature created for the "teaser", that isn't entirely likely to make it into the final film (keep in mind that the "teaser" is over a year old, they hadn't started shooting back then). Having said that, anything is possible.

A giant creature that fell before the might of either Godzilla or the United States military. Doesn't appear to be anything from the Toho stable of monsters. Cancerblack is right. Probably just something they whipped up for the teaser to convey to us that there WILL be other monsters skulking about in this film.

Plus it's like... he looks and apparently acts more like Godzilla in the leaked stuff more than anything GINO ever did. The face, the fins, the destruction, the dead monster... some stuff works in GINO (the build up, the score) but in the end it's all but made null.

Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it. I used the other toy to have shots showing him walking upright, also the trendmasters aloud me to show more of his body, the puppet was restricting.

Yeah my friends are patient with my ways haha it took 5 months in total to complete and I'm not going to lie I'm tired after all that editing haha

You know what I like about the leaked teaser that's relatively new to the Godzilla franchise?
Godzilla feels big.
Been there, done that - in 1998.
I would disagree emphatically. I never got the sense that Zilla was an actual mountain of destrucion. I didn't really feel his presence, and his slim, sleek design and swift speeds didn't help much.
This new Godzilla, I don't know how big he is, but I can feel his weight. I get a sense of mass.

Anyway, don't know if anyone else posted this...

Yes I mean - we never got a sense of scale, and the film never ever made focus on the creature's size so you could get a clear and actual sense of it. I mean, thunderous footsteps, an enormous head next to an incredibly small human, various camera angles, etc. -- that was a total midget, man.

I agree with Omega, there was always a great sense of scale in the 98 film.

Same with good ol' Gojira. Really felt his presence there.

Can't speak much for the other films, as I've only really seen three or four of them, and that was many years ago. I do remember them all being quite silly.

I actually own the vast majority of Godzilla movies, but as years have passed there are only two I still like for certain, 1956 zilla (first one I ever saw) and 1998 zilla.

Edit: I meant 56' "King of the Monsters". Never seen 54' but I sometimes say 54' anyway because to my knowledge they're the same thing, the 56' one is just American dubbed.

There's a difference between knowing something is large and feeling it. Zilla 98 did a good job of showing scale, but I didn't feel it.

Aware of that - but undoubtely the focus and purpose of many shots and scenes is the sheer awe of such an enormous creature. Some parts are just breath-taking.

I've always wondered what they thought about the Mayor and his Assistant characters. Yes it was blatant and cheap but I never felt there was anything petty or mean spirited about it. Dem critic egos.

Gene wasn't wrong about the lack of terror though. The greatest tension is all the scenes leading up to New York. Once Godzilla shows up there is this sloppy back and forth where we're asked to both fear, and feel sympathy for the beast. The music even tries to give us a sense of awe and wonder has Godzilla strides down the street as if he's a herbivore from Jurassic Park being seen for the first time by dinosaur enthusiasts.

I can forgive and apologize for it because it was never meant to be a reboot of the original, or any of the more serious toned Godzilla films. Godzilla 1998 stands firmly with some of the best campy Toho efforts from the 60's and 70's. What they have in common is that they were aimed at children. And if you can't enjoy a good romp revisiting your childhood through a silly movie then I feel sorry for you.

Are you kidding? G98 is SO trying to be this cool, hip "realistic" retooling of an already classic character, instead it's another brain-dead movie from Emmerich where he's trying to recreate his favorite moments from better movies...

"It's just the same movie over and over again. They always had another monster in it, and I never get anything out of two monsters fighting. For reasons I can't explain myself, kids all over the world kept watching these movies."

"To tell you the truth, I'm not a big fan of old movies."
- Roland Emmerich

"Roland and I have said this Godzilla must be to its predecessor what Tim Burton's Batman was to Adam West."

"It'll look like Godzilla but be more realistic, more to the lizard genesis that just a big fat guy in a rubber suit."
- Dean Devlin

"Godzilla was a very, very bad effort back then. Just a big monster, he crushed everything. But you didn't feel he really hurt people; it was just like, 'It's stupid you have to crush on everything.'"
- Patrick Tatoupolos

"Godzilla has always been this slow-motion man in a suit, and always standing around, looking around, smashing through buildings, looking kind of stupid."

Are you kidding? 

No. And I am in no means saying Godzilla 1998 is a good film. It's about average really. At times some of the characters and the shit that comes out of their mouths makes me want to punch a baby. Whatever intentions the film makers had and what they liked or didn't like didn't help the film as a film. They didn't pay homage to the classics except for in shallow superficial ways. But whatever, right? It's a big dumb monster movie at the end of the day. The special effects deliver. The monster design delivers. There are glimmers of greatness here ... there. Moments where everything comes together and then flies right back apart again into eye rolling cheese.

But that's like 90% of the Godzilla movies.

Coming out of the theater in 1998 I was disappointed as a fan of the big G. My friends who weren't big fans were indifferent to the film. Saying "It was a typical Godzilla film ... only they made him look like a big raptor ... and ripped off Jurassic Park by having a bunch of baby Godzilla/raptors running around."

Older and with some perspective I enjoy the film for what it is. I get this sense of what I remember hoping the movie would be as I was watching it. I still remember my expectations and how each scene in the film systematically dispatched them as the film makers took it in their own direction. Somewhere in my head is the ghost of what Godzilla 98 should have been. Born of the advertising material they teased us with and my own wild imaginings.

Regardless ... Godzilla 1998 brought a whole new generation of G fans into the fold. Some who found and enjoy the older films and some who mock them as unrealistic and campy. I love counting the rings on great tree that is Godzilla's legacy.

I'm from the old television rebroadcast era of the films from the 50's, 60's, and 70's. But those weren't MY films.

Godzilla 1985 (The Return of Godzilla) was MY film. I was 9. It blew me away. Worts and all.

I have never been able to get into any of the others films as much as that one. The seriousness of the tone, echoing the original BUT with MUCH better effects and realism. It's the perfect blend of classic and new.

I feel like that again with the new Legendary Godzilla coming up. Looks like a good blend of classic and new.

Quote from: Bat Chain Puller on Oct 11, 2013, 02:38:52 PMI can forgive and apologize for it because it was never meant to be a reboot of the original, or any of the more serious toned Godzilla films. Godzilla 1998 stands firmly with some of the best campy Toho efforts from the 60's and 70's. What they have in common is that they were aimed at children. And if you can't enjoy a good romp revisiting your childhood through a silly movie then I feel sorry for you.

Are you kidding? 

No. And I am in no means saying Godzilla 1998 is a good film. It's about average really. At times some of the characters and the shit that comes out of their mouths makes me want to punch a baby. Whatever intentions the film makers had and what they liked or didn't like didn't help the film as a film. They didn't pay homage to the classics except for in shallow superficial ways. But whatever, right? It's a big dumb monster movie at the end of the day. The special effects deliver. The monster design delivers. There are glimmers of greatness here ... there. Moments where everything comes together and then flies right back apart again into eye rolling cheese.

But that's like 90% of the Godzilla movies.

Coming out of the theater in 1998 I was disappointed as a fan of the big G. My friends who weren't big fans were indifferent to the film. Saying "It was a typical Godzilla film ... only they made him look like a big raptor ... and ripped off Jurassic Park by having a bunch of baby Godzilla/raptors running around."

Older and with some perspective I enjoy the film for what it is. I get this sense of what I remember hoping the movie would be as I was watching it. I still remember my expectations and how each scene in the film systematically dispatched them as the film makers took it in their own direction. Somewhere in my head is the ghost of what Godzilla 98 should have been. Born of the advertising material they teased us with and my own wild imaginings.

Regardless ... Godzilla 1998 brought a whole new generation of G fans into the fold. Some who found and enjoy the older films and some who mock them as unrealistic and campy. I love counting the rings on great tree that is Godzilla's legacy.






I think I feel a very similar way about Alien: Resurrection, I was disappointed at the time but have come to enjoy it a lot over the years. I make this comparison due to the sheer number of people (and not just fanboys) who love to hate A:R.

So why can't I learn to like the 1998 Godzilla movie? I suppose it has a lot to do with the age I was when first exposed to Godzilla, and the age I was in 1998. I was introduced to Godzilla movies earlier than my working memory extends. I was watching Godzilla movies before I could form cogent sentences. The big guy has been a part of my life longer than I can remember.

Flash forward to 98, and a ten-year-old me is watching G98 in dismay. Not just disappointment, as a little kid I felt personally offended by it. I'm old enough to just ignore it and (mostly) move on now, however occasionally the impotent, childish fury I felt back then rises back up, completely out of my control, and compels me to bad-mouth the film, often with a huge dose of hyperbole.

From an objective point of view, I can see that the film does have it's moments, and that if one wasn't so attached from such a young age to the older design, the monster itself could be seen as pretty cool. However, I was attached to the old design(s) from a very young age, and for that reason and more, I can't possibly be anything other than subjective about G98 - meaning that in my head the film might as well have shot my dog, punched my mother and ran away with my wife, all in the space of two hours (there's that hyperbole).

That's sort of what I mean... the majority of people then and know dislike it because it's a shallow Roland Emmerich movie, Godzilla fans especially based on how disrespectful the whole charade is. The only Toho film that comes close is arguably Final Wars.

:laugh: Of course they didnt like it.  :laugh:

Haha, whenever I see those two I can't help but think "jeez guys, pull your head out of each others arses."

I've always wondered what they thought about the Mayor and his Assistant characters. Yes it was blatant and cheap but I never felt there was anything petty or mean spirited about it. Dem critic egos.

Gene wasn't wrong about the lack of terror though. The greatest tension is all the scenes leading up to New York. Once Godzilla shows up there is this sloppy back and forth where we're asked to both fear, and feel sympathy for the beast. The music even tries to give us a sense of awe and wonder has Godzilla strides down the street as if he's a herbivore from Jurassic Park being seen for the first time by dinosaur enthusiasts.

I can forgive and apologize for it because it was never meant to be a reboot of the original, or any of the more serious toned Godzilla films. Godzilla 1998 stands firmly with some of the best campy Toho efforts from the 60's and 70's. What they have in common is that they were aimed at children. And if you can't enjoy a good romp revisiting your childhood through a silly movie then I feel sorry for you.

This film didn't feel silly in the sense of it being campy. It felt silly because it was stupid and boring yet wanted to be taken seriously. There was so hype leading up to this film, it was insane. It's like the AvP of Godzilla movies.

On a separate note, is it my imagination or does Godzilla use his radioactive breath all too little in the vs. movies? It seems like he only uses it when he's really stuck and can't do anything else.

You mean the Heisei series? Those are actually infamous for their 'beam wars' where the monsters do nothing but spam their energy attacks because special effects director Koichi Kawakita felt the monsters would prefer doing that over exerting themselves by physically grappling with each other... and it made for some rather uninspired fight choreography.

I think Doom means in 1998.

He used it twice and it was pretty ambiguous as to whether it was actually flame breath or just cars and shit igniting within the force of one of his super roars.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rW4J2p19WgQ#ws (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rW4J2p19WgQ#ws)

The flames definitely start on the street below Godzilla's mouth. But as they really get going it looks like two small areas within each side of his lower jaw are glowing like afterburners. Hmm. f**kifino.

No body addresses it in the film. You think someone would (as poorly written as it was) but then again, maybe no one actually saw the fire breathing that lived to tell about it.

If Godzilla had fire breath at his disposal I imagine he would have used it at least one when he was going after the taxi as enraged as he was.

That was one of his "super-sonic screams" - a more realistic/naturalistic subsitute to radioactive breath that the original Godzilla had.  I thouggt it fit in well with the film's realistic approach while still paying tribute to original G's atomic breath.  So, evidently, Emmerich and Devlin didn't totally blow off what made Godzilla "Godzilla". 

Also, he DOES use the sonic breath again during the taxi scene when they round the corner onto an avenue and Godzilla is surprisingly there and nearly catches them with it....

It's like some retarded over-the-top anime cartoon maker got ahold of Godzilla...and it barley focuses on the monsters. Reminds me of Bay's Transformers- except they entertain you to a lesser extent.

And the star King of The Monsters HIMSELF gets, what, thirty minutes of screen-time?


Godzilla '98' is why we got a shit-load of decent Toho-made Godzilla films. You should thank it for that...except that piece of shite, Final Wars... Plus, the cartoon made up for the disappointment that the film was to the majority of the fans.

Lots of Godzilla movies are below average. Many in fact. But Godzilla 98 has always been the most divisive, hotly debated of the G-films. Can't keep folks from talking about it. It's good to talk about it.

World War Z wasn't a bad movie. Godzilla 98 mostly was (but in a guilty pleasure kinda way for me). Neither were very respectful of their source material. The only problem I can see them both falling under would be personal fan expectations.

Well said BCP. I have to admit, I liked Final Wars when I first saw it, although I was only 16 and under the influence of certain... substances. Watching it again recently I can see what people don't like about it (especially the parts where it drags on completely monsterless), but I still view it as stupid fun, especially the last 3rd of the film. I think I can handle the combination parody/homage nature of the film precisely because it's so cornball - for whatever reason, it kinda works for me.

This, precisely. Once the nostalgia blinders fell off, the ones that convinced me it was great (and it was one of my favorite movies back then), it still managed to hold up for me in some ways, so I don't really waste my time trying to scrutinize while I watch. Most of the flaws and just plain bad stuff comes to me as kind of endearing now, in some strange way. Besides, it's the movie that got me watching a shitload of other monster films, so... for me, it can't be thanked enough for that.

Better to watch it and have a little nostalgia blast than scrutinize it the whole way through.

I loved it,well the redesign of godzilla I liked the alienlike aspects,speed,overall the design was badass-I would love to see sequel properly made-this time it would be a male(egg from the end)bigger,more armored,and fighting some other monster,maybe even do something like the cartoon that was based on g98

So far it looks really prommising

Godzilla wasn't female in the '98 movie. It was asexual.

I know, never stated it was a female- And by my personall prefference if there would be a sequel i would preffere the big G to be be male,bigger,spikier,badder,more evolved,since the assexual one was the first of its kind

We tend to say 'he' or 'she' even when the target we are labeling is not either of those.

'A very unusual he' -- it's basically an explanation for someone that knows shitf**k about that subject. That, or it's a goof and it's actually hermaphrodite and there's another science goof in the film.

In the cartoon which was a sequel to the movie big G was male.
I just preffere the idea:
1- first zilla was asexuall-he/she/it was to breed a lot of ofspring
2- a lot of osspring=some become males,some females
3- males are bigger,stronger,kinda armored(to be more true to originall Godzilla)[Drawing of such is in work in progress]{I know in animal world in a lot of cases females are bigger and such}
4- so the last egg the only one that hatches at the end of the movie could be male-grow bigger,badder,stronger=no shitty death from some rockets=badass fight with other mutant/monster,more true to original Godzilla
That is basically what i think of it

That's the direction they were essentially headed in with the sequel.  If they just let them do their shit and became successful with the subsequent films, then I think audiences would appreciate the first film from '98 better as it would serve as American Godzilla's origin/first stage film.

I still totally think that they should have had the last baby zilla cough up radioactive breath in the end.  THAT, would have probably totally changed the audience's view on the movie as they would know it was only the beginning of a species that was to become a more familiar Godzilla.

And of course he'd be bigger in the sequel - the babies start out at 9ft as opposed to mutating gradually from an iguana like their parent.

Komodithrax laid the egg on her own, like the first ('98) Godzilla. Godzilla in the show was described as sterile and only acted as surrogate parent.

Isn't that totally ass-backwards, though? Isn't it common practice when updating a property to start off with something familiar, winning a level of trust, THEN edging away allowing it to become its own thing? They just went in a totally different direction to start with.

It's meant to simulate the alien signals in the film that only the monsters can understand. They're not 'really' making those noises. In the Japanese version there are even word bubbles that pop up (one of the human characters is a manga artist). But in the American version those were removed, and some scenes have Godzilla and Anguirus 'talking.'

If people would actually WATCH these movies in order and in their original forms the gradual transgression from villain, to reluctant hero, to full-on superhero will actually seem quite natural. It's not like right after the original it became Godzilla vs. Megalon. People complain about the '70s work, but he hasn't even been a hero since freaking 1975. He's basically been an antihero more or less since 1984, and people are acting like the decision to continue with that for the new movie is some new thing.

That's the major issue with the general view on Godzilla, I think. They've seen one or two films, and a lot of the cheesey/funny clips, but that's it. I honestly think more people are familiar with Reptar than genuinely familiar with Godzilla sometimes.

Cal, you're completely wrong here. Godzilla has been an anti-hero starting after 1984. Godzilla has been completely neutral when it came to whose side he was on. Look at Godzilla vs Mecha-King Ghidorah. Godzilla was the villain in that film, but could still be seen as an anti-hero since everyone grew up with Big G as this force for good thanks to the Showa Era where he was basically a good guy that kids would enjoy watching.

I don't find the Showa movies that cheesy expect for a few like Megalon and Gigan. The tone the films have are not that much different then most sci-fi movies at the time. The set pieces that they make for the films are not that cheap as people think. Making highly detail miniatures cost a lot too. Japan using suits and miniatures gives these movies their own charm since American does not make tokusatsu like Japan does. To me, tokusatsu is Japan's unique art form.

I own it on DVD. (Thank goodness for region free players.)

I actually found the American 'commentators' to be eye rollingly endearing in that 1960's sort of way. I didn't like the inclusion of Creature from the Black Lagoon music. The endings are the same. Some extra footage of the earthquake in the American version made it seem more serious than the tremor that occurred in the Japanese version.

The cheese is firmly present in the Japanese cut in the form of several characters and situational set pieces. It even has a live action Black Face character that is a three way cross between Jerry Lewis, Gilligan, and Jar Jar Binks.

Oh it's meant to be a farce, it's just that in the original cut you don't have the American interruptions trying to make it more serious than it seems, which just make it seem sillier in the end.

I love Ghidorah, but Toho seriously overexposed the f**k out of him.

This, and no where is more apparent than in Final Wars

Monster X was such a wasted design/monster.

Yeah, it's bad enough that they forced him into GMK against Kaneko's wishes, but the Final Wars stuff just sucked. It's too bad, since I actually liked the design in that one.

Probably because it was a comparison of Heisei Godzilla and King Ghidorah to the Showa versions of Rodan, Anguirus and Gigan.

Is that one list of all Godzilla's size changes is not right?. So Godzilla really a 100 Meters in "Godzilla: Final Wars".

Did the makers of Final Wars say he is 100 Meters tall?.
Title: Re: Godzilla
Post by: Gilfryd on Oct 25, 2013, 12:55:47 AM
The 100 meter scale was brought back for Final Wars because it was easier to put together less detailed models. The movie had the largest budget of any Godzilla movie and yet it was the harshest for the special effects crew because the director Ryuhei Kitamura used most of the money on kung-fu fights and lame music. They scaled Godzilla down after the Heisei series to improve the effects and I guess Kitamura wasn't concerned about that.

That doesn't really matter to me honestly. They look and sound the same, I'm gonna go ahead and call them Zilla, with the first appearing in G98 and the last remaining baby appearing in FW. That's how I like to think about it anyway.

Quote from: That Yellow Alien on Oct 26, 2013, 10:17:26 PMThat doesn't really matter to me honestly. They look and sound the same, I'm gonna go ahead and call them Zilla, with the first appearing in G98 and the last remaining baby appearing in FW. That's how I like to think about it anyway.

Why single out Zilla in a movie that has 13 other monsters? It's actually a lot easier to see GINO and GFW as standalone movies because that's exactly what they're meant to be. The only other work to have a true connection to GINO would be Godzilla: The Series.

Title: Re: Godzilla

True.

People tend to get carried away with their opinions on movies in general. I wouldn't go so far as to say it's disproportionate though. A lot of people just didn't like, and continue to dislike the film.

I WILL say that there are those individuals that just CAN'T let it go and continue to bash-the-shit of out the movie like a baby seal despite having voiced their opinions many MANY times before to the same crowd. So it's disproportionate in that way, sure.

I never got this. Every time I watch the movie I cannot understand what people are on about saying she's the worst actress ever. She does her job about as well as anyone else in the movie, which considering the film, isn't saying much. But I've never seen what's so awful about it.

And it will never, ever top Keanu Reeves' "performance" in Dracula. Ugh.

I usually don't hack on acting in a film.  I don't think I'm that great a judge.  Either I buy someone as a character or I don't.  Mostly the former.  But she wasn't in any way convincing, even taking the problems with her character and dialogue into account.  A good actor could've wrung some pathos out of that part - but she really stunk.

I'll pay you Keanu though... eeesh...

With the possible exception Reno and Azaria, I wanted Godzilla to squash everyone in that Seppo version.  Especially Broderick's girlfriend.

Even Broderick? I didn't mind him in that film.

Alright, so we can all agree that butt hurt fans of the original Godzilla will never like the 1998 film and open minded people will.  That's all we had to put out there folks.

As for the G-2014 trailer possibly coming in the next couple of weeks, I'll keep my hopes up.

I'm just waiting for this film to come out. Everyone is excited to see it, the audience takes their seats and the whole room is packed. Everywhere you look a seat is occupied. There's grown ups and kids, some who may have this be their first Godzilla movie. Some others may have this be their first Godzilla movie in theaters. The lights dim and the trailers begin, but you don't care, you're here for Godzilla. Then the WB and Legendary logo comes up, you hear the roar, that classic roar, the title comes up...

Spoiler





























It's really just 5 minutes of the 98 Godzilla laughing at the audience and after those 5 minutes the movie ends.

A bit of both.  I remember Dean Devlin wanting to present Godzilla as an elusive beast that you only recieved glimpses of, partly because he was quick to evade any threat which resulted in confusing its enemies.  Sorta like what Chris Nolan did when he first introduced batman.  That's just another way of presenting a terrifying adversary, rather than just bluntly attacking a city. They gave Patrick Tatopoulos freedom to alter the design to better resemble a living specimen in our modern animalia (an iguana), while still maintaining traits of the tradition design (therapod orientation and large dorsals on the back.  As well as the iconic roar (which I thought was brilliantly altered in bringing more natural acoustics to it.  I really hope Godzilla 2014 could pull something off like that))

It is a commonly accepted notion that 2003-2004 came 5-6 years after 1998. The Ultimate Godzilla figure is from 1998; Zilla was conceived in 2003 and ultimately shown in 2004.

Quite honestly, this sounds like a semantic. Like Gilfryd said, they're making a mockery of a mockery. If they didn't want the association made, then Zilla shouldn't have been named as such and not made to look like GINO.

Basically, as an intentional mockery, 'Zilla' is as much Godzilla ['98] as 'Mayor Ebert' is Roger Ebert. It's pretty much the same exact move, and both are flustered, angry, and embarrassingly ineffective.

Just because (all of) you, and Ryuhei Kitamura, are hot and bothered over Godzilla '98 doesn't change the creatures name (and it is named IN the movie) on neither a level contextual to the film or by copyright. Get the f**k over it. Now, if you would all shut the f**k up and excuse me while I go and chisel 'Mayor Ebert' into the false Roger Ebert's (f**k me if I know who the true one was) headstone.

Get the f**k over it. Now, if you would all shut the f**k up and excuse me while I go and chisel 'Mayor Ebert' into the false Roger Ebert's (f**k me if I know who the true one was) headstone.

Just to settle this Zilla debate, sorry for bringing it back, the greatest Gojira movie event, GMK All Out Monster Attack, answers this in it's first couple of minutes. It says that the Americans identified it as "Godzilla" but the the Japanese, the actual people that get attack by him, have doubts.

So GMK is part of G98 continuity and discredits it.

Here's GMK on Crackle (http://www.crackle.com/c/godzilla,-mothra,-and-king-ghidorah/godzilla-mothra-and-king-ghidorah/2448580), just watch the first minute and a half and put on captions.

OK, problem solved, now let's move on.

Nope. If you watch the rest of the movie, Godzilla has first attacked Tokyo in 1954 and is a reality in the continuity of that film.

In the 1998 film, Godzilla is named after the homonim mythological sea dragon (because the surviving japanese sailor calls him so) -- no giant monsters had attacked the world before; or it would've been mentioned.

More like everyone misinterprets this.

Here's an excellent post from another forum...
QuoteKaneko's joke is clearly intended to riff on GODZILLA 1998 but that absolutely does not officially connect the remake to the GMK (or any other Toho) timeline.

When making G98, Devlin and Emmerich repeatedly said they were treating their film as if it were the first Godzilla movie with no connection to any of the Toho films. G98 is supposed to be set in the "real world" and there had never been a giant monster attack before the events shown in that film. And the name "Gojira" was taken from a old Japanese legend, not a real creature that attacked Japan in 1954.

In the GMK timeline, the events of the original GODZILLA happened... that alone means the world depicted in G98 isn't part of this timeline. Godzilla has not been seen since 1954, but other giant monsters have appeared in the decades since. The public perception of Godzilla is a big reptilian creature, so any other monsters that fit that bill were sometimes confused with Godzilla (this happens in GMK with Baragon). The joke in GMK is that one of these "fake Godzillas" attacked New York at the turn of the Millennium and the Americans thought it was the real thing.

Is that a dig at G98? Clearly. Does that mean the events of G98 were intended to be part of GMK's timeline? Absolutely not; the timelines established for both films simply don't fit together.

It's not a retcon. It's a joke, something fans and Japanese moviegoers would get. Thinking about it too hard is beside the point. It's like looking for hard continuity in the Showa seres. 

As for Final Wars, why can't people realize that Zilla is a different version of Godzilla '98 in the same way Godzilla 2004 is separate from the Toho Godzillas that came before it? Same goes for the other monsters in the movie... Anguirus, Rodan, Mothra, etc... all are unique to the GFW universe, which is set up in the opening credits.

Tristar has probaly more of a connection.  [Correction] Apparently Sony handled this. At least that's what wiki says.

The 98 film makes it quite clear that there have been no giant monsters before in its diegesis.

The reference in GMK is just that; a reference, a slight tip of the hat to the audience, a quick joke with a little wink. Saying that puts the 98 film into its continuity is like saying BTTF and Blade Runner are canon with each other just because there was a Spinner briefly visible in Back to the Future: Part II.

Universal Pictures can not doing anything because its not set in a "Park" its a city so Copyright laws are usless in that situation.

Plus they arnt Dinosaurs and even if they were Universal still can not do anything because they didnt make any of them up , apart from the Frill and venom on the Dilophosaurus.

The 98 film makes it quite clear that there have been no giant monsters before in its diegesis.

Retcon by GMK.
I dont know why this is so hard to understand.
If you choose to ignore the retcon just say so.
Defending the story element that was retcon makes no sense because that element no longer exists.

Leia remembers her mother..... no she doesnt, the mother died at birth.

Quote
The reference in GMK is just that; a reference, a slight tip of the hat to the audience, a quick joke with a little wink. Saying that puts the 98 film into its continuity is like saying BTTF and Blade Runner are canon with each other just because there was a Spinner briefly visible in Back to the Future: Part II.

Was that Spinner part of the story of Back to the Future? No, it was just some thing seen back. It could have been some one making a custom car like people do now making, funny enough, DeLorians from Back to the Future.

The reference to 98 in GMK came from ONE OF THE MAIN CHARACTERS.
Saying that this was just a wink, wink joke is pushing it at bit far.
This was a story element of the movie.

If you're looking for 'retcons' in GMK it would be the spirits influencing Godzilla's attacks in the past and present based on Japan's tendency to ignore/rewrite history.

Uh, he took on a lot of fire power (high caliber automatic rounds and tank missiles) during the two military strikes and around 3 torpedoes in the hudson before finally being taken down by at least 10 fighter jet missiles on the bridge.  I'd say it was quite an effort to take this guy down, even for a realistic approach to a Godzilla creature.

2 out of 2 radars say target has been hit.

The missiles on the bridges were 12. And we're talking about the grossly overpowered, completely fictitious military of the movie.

Quote from: DaddyYautja on Nov 01, 2013, 12:10:37 AMSaying that this was just a wink, wink joke is pushing it at bit far.

WHAT?! I think 'pushing it' is saying the '98 film is attached to GMK. Your posts are so garbled and contradictory...

Quote from: DaddyYautja on Nov 01, 2013, 12:10:37 AMWas that Spinner part of the story of Back to the Future? No, it was just some thing seen back.

See? Same applies to the jab at GINO.

If you're looking for 'retcons' in GMK it would be the spirits influencing Godzilla's attacks in the past and present based on Japan's tendency to ignore/rewrite history.


Like i said in that post you decided to cut up...
This isnt some thing seen in the background that no one acknowledges, one of the main characters of the movie brings it up. If this was a quick vid seen in some monitor in the background of a shot i would agree with you but this isnt, this is blatantly brought up in the forefront.

Japanese Godzilla is for the Asians and hardcore fans.  You ask any other person that's seen the 1998 movie (a lot of people, mind you)  and they'll say they liked the American version better.  Not that I'm dissing original G, I love him, but that's the response I get from people that I ask around; 9 times out of 10.

One of my biggest beefs with G'98 was how easily Zilla was killed off. A few missile strikes was all it took? Geez, did the writers of the film even watch any of the older movies?

I guess it was to show just how mortal the creature was- or shit narrating from a bunch of backward writers.

You got to admit, it makes for a powerful scene of helplessness.

I know you guys are pretty familiar with the 1994 American Godzilla movie that was almost made. I just recently came across to another Godzilla script that was originally going to be directed in the early 80's by Steve Miner.

That s true for the most part but I do find it interesting that yes our army does kill Godzilla in the 98 film, but not before looking like totally fools. Also then you get to Cloverfield where we are totally CRUSHED by the creature.

Edwards has talked about a monster island concept in a probable sequel, if he sticks around. Destroy All Monsters (the Pacific Rim before Pacific Rim) is his favorite after the original.

Aah, you're right, I misremembered the title.

I honestly think it would make for a pretty darn good movie, if expanded upon a bit. There's a lot more potential in this storyline. Certainly would've made for a better anniversary movie than GFW.

Unless it's a result of the picture's angle, that is not the greatest Godzilla design. Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah has a design that blows that one right outta the freakin' water.

I have to ask, are the gills really required? I mean, whales or crocodilians don't have gills after all (crocodilians can hold there breath for 2 hours underwater in ideal conditions and can even breath underwater with their mouth open), so it's not like he really needs it.

Plus I feel like throwing it out that the main respiratory of amphibians is the skin both in and out of water as the skin exchanges gases and absorbs oxygen just as much as it's lungs (unfortunately this also makes them extra prone to the harms of pollution).

My point is just because something spends time in the water doesn't mean it needs gills, gills are observed in fish and amphibian larvae (sometimes retained into adulthood) and Godzilla is certainly no fish and I also doubt he is an amphibian as he has traits much closer to a reptile than anything else.

While you're absolutely right, I maintain that they probably aren't literal gills. The suggestion of gills is even better in the context you bring up though.
Title: Re: Godzilla
Post by: OmegaZilla on Nov 23, 2013, 10:39:08 PM
Indeed. If they are, though, there wouldn't be any problem with it. In fact it'd be interesting. A dual breathing system would certainly be neat, but imagine if those are gills and they are redundant. It's a mutation after all, and these kinds of mutations often are non-functional.
Title: Re: Godzilla
Post by: [cancerblack] on Nov 23, 2013, 10:45:29 PM
I would approve of that. This film is a perfect chance to redefine the character (since the core of the design is so much like the classic versions), and the revelation of the beast having redundant gills would be a) a nice pseudo-science justification for the amount of time he spends under water, and b) just a cool little plot point.



I still don't think he actually has gills though, I'm just gonna assume they're a visual reference rather than a literal one until something official suggests otherwise.

Not really. Edwards has said the release date was a happy accident. Before the release of Final Wars longtime Godzilla producer and former head of Toho Shogo Tomiyama said Godzilla would be away for at least a decade or so, but nothing was set in stone, and we would have to wait and see. This quote has been warped by many different people thinking the next Godzilla movie would be released FOR SURE in 2014. In a twist of fate it turned out that way, but it was never mapped out like that.

When has there not been serious Godzilla films? None of these movies have ever gotten Showa Gamera silly, even in the '70s.

And yes Toho is involved. They were involved with GINO believe it or not. Being part of a big international Hollywood production means more money than they could ever make with a domestic release. And they especially want this new movie to work after what happened last time.

QuoteThe trailer is really unsettling and powerful, and totally caught me off guard. I knew I was watching the new trailer before it started and my mouth was still open for the first 40 seconds. If you thought the leaked comic-con mood piece was haunting it doesn't hold a candle to the trailer. If you're not seeing the Hobbit, reconsider just to see this trailer on the big screen.

I haven't been this excited to see a Godzilla film since I was about 10 years old when I saw this trailer.

Keep in mind the only Godzilla that existed up until that time was the original (which at the time was boring to my young self) and the mostly campy sequels.

Yes. Manga. Just use the internet dude. A sea of information (and opportunities) is at your fingertips.

***********

Just read this little bit concerning future Toho Godzilla films.

Godzilla vs The Smog Monster director and Toho/Ledgendary 2014 Godzilla Producer Yoshimitsu Banno has this to say:

Quote
"I am planning the sequel of Godzilla vs. the Smog Monster now. A new character named Midora will appear as a green saving monster in the sequel. Midora will help battle Hedorah. The new Hedorah comes out from the toxic sludge contaminated by the radioactive waste from an accident at a nuclear power plant. I wish to realize this film with the collaboration of Godzilla fans from around the world."

http://www.godzilla-movies.com/news/1302 (http://www.godzilla-movies.com/news/1302)

If anyone remembers, Banno was also connected to the IMAX Godzilla film that almost was a few years back.
Title: Re: Godzilla
Post by: Gilfryd on Nov 27, 2013, 10:05:23 AM
Banno's Godzilla 3D project became the new Legendary movie. It's why he's being credited as executive producer.

Godzilla 3D was never a Toho film exactly. They just sort of gave Banno permission and let him go. Here's some info -

They could be using some of the ideas from the 3D IMAX film. It's not impossible for movies to reused ideas from past unused scripts. Predators used ideas from the old 90's Predator 3 script and Ghost Rider 2 used ideas from the 2001 Ghost Rider script.

Yup. That's definitely the only thing I thought was wrong with the series.  :)

Allow me to speak of my lord's brilliance.

UFO-Man, or his previous identity, it doesn't matter. His logic and being comes from space, possibly another dimension. I know what you're thinking "that sounds ridiculous!" -- Well, no, it really doesn't.

See, I think we need to consider what communication with an inter-dimensional being would be like; their perception of our reality would be a falsity to us simply because it's based on one that he's already lived, see, and experienced- one that we never will. In past times, he's had other names, a different appearance, and a different backstory, but who is to say that this is not the same man of the moon we once knew, even if he doesn't recognize the name or align with that identity? This is very possibly the case of the same person coming along the same discovery to travel between dimensions with the same interests, quirks (see "?." and "!."), and as far as recollection of past/parallel versions of himself, however as a college, not readily acknowledging their identical overlap.

We have to realize that in another dimension, it is very possible that Legendary Pictures released the trailer for Godzilla alongside Thor: The Dark World, that Carol really was at a burning down Woodbury, and that The Walking Dead really did have an alternative visual style and overall different plotline and cast. This only brings about constants and variables. The former Master of the Moon maintained within our Solar System, in relative close reach of Earth, the world we all can recognize from the space images, yet UFO-Man is one from further beyond, perhaps even more distant from our understanding. Something very grounded, philosophical, and, embarrassingly enough as it may sound, somewhat seductive about the Master of the Moon's ways was his alternative view on life, expression, and keen observation and wonderment of things we take for granted and would even consider 'obvious' in some cases... is what truly drew so many of us toward him. Now where else can such a 'strange' view come from, but the flipside of our existential comprehension?[.]

This is what snatched my body- this is what makes him my lord.

That is the trailer I've even seen it in the theater before "Thor: The Dark World".
Allow me to speak of my lord's brilliance.

UFO-Man, or his previous identity, it doesn't matter. His logic and being comes from space, possibly another dimension. I know what you're thinking "that sounds ridiculous!" -- Well, no, it really doesn't.

See, I think we need to consider what communication with an inter-dimensional being would be like; their perception of our reality would be a falsity to us simply because it's based on one that he's already lived, see, and experienced- one that we never will. In past times, he's had other names, a different appearance, and a different backstory, but who is to say that this is not the same man of the moon we once knew, even if he doesn't recognize the name or align with that identity? This is very possibly the case of the same person coming along the same discovery to travel between dimensions with the same interests, quirks (see "?." and "!."), and as far as recollection of past/parallel versions of himself, however as a college, not readily acknowledging their identical overlap.

We have to realize that in another dimension, it is very possible that Legendary Pictures released the trailer for Godzilla alongside Thor: The Dark World, that Carol really was at a burning down Woodbury, and that The Walking Dead really did have an alternative visual style and overall different plotline and cast. This only brings about constants and variables. The former Master of the Moon maintained within our Solar System, in relative close reach of Earth, the world we all can recognize from the space images, yet UFO-Man is one from further beyond, perhaps even more distant from our understanding. Something very grounded, philosophical, and, embarrassingly enough as it may sound, somewhat seductive about the Master of the Moon's ways was his alternative view on life, expression, and keen observation and wonderment of things we take for granted and would even consider 'obvious' in some cases... is what truly drew so many of us toward him. Now where else can such a 'strange' view come from, but the flipside of our existential comprehension?[.]

This is what snatched my body- this is what makes him my lord.

Holy shit it all makes sense!

I want '[?.]' to become some part of quantum mechanic terminology, meaning the inability humanly comprehend (to question) where something starts and ends in a [theoretically] infinite scenario, if any barrier is to be put on our understanding of what we label as 'infinity'.

A term likely already exists... and I likely already know it... or it's cancelled out by the definition of "infinity" itself... but I've had a few, so it won't be coming to me any time soon.

I just read this back, what the f**k.

1967 (probably the least attractive in my book)

I find that one decent at best and a step down from the 64 and 62 suits. Considering it was one of the more recent suits of that era and didn't look absolutely terrible it comes as no surprise that they advertised it a lot.

What I like about that suit is it could still maintain that reluctant hero edge from Destroy All Monsters before it became a full on superhero in Hedorah and Gigan. They only got close to that, after the DAM suit, with the touched up Terror of Mechagodzilla suit which looked a bit meaner than the ones from Megalon or the original Mechagodzilla.

This is neat - Trendmasters' Godzilla toy adds from the 1990s!

Just a heads up:
If it doesn't recognize your command, it'll tell you it's either been blocked by the monarch, the command is unavailable, or it'll just straight up say it doesn't recognize it. Typing any Kaiju name seems to result in it saying that it can't confirm nor deny the existence of the lifeform. This includes non-Toho monsters, as entering "King Kong" and "Cloverfield" resulted in this.

Yes! I've been waiting for a modern-day Godzilla monster brawl, especially with todays technology and visual fidelity

Ghidorah was basically just, that a planet destroying monster that roamed space. Kind of like Galactus. Except Galactus wouldn't get punked by Minya.

Still holding out for Hedorah- if not, it better be something original.

Theatrically with The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug.

QuoteIn addition to the original movie, the Monsterland conceit of the 1968 Godzilla flick Destroy All Monsters also plays into Edwards' film, with its exploration of mankind having to deal with a reality full of huge, deadly behemoths — the director teases that there is more than just Godzilla smashing around.

Quote from: KiramidHead on Dec 09, 2013, 03:42:44 PMGhidorah was basically just, that a planet destroying monster that roamed space. Kind of like Galactus. Except Galactus wouldn't get punked by Minya.

Well he did get gangbanged by Godzilla, Anguirus, Gorosaurus, etc beforehand.  :D

There's more tremble/reverb in the second half of the roar than last we heard it. Interesting alteration.

The tone of that trailer was pitch-perfect. I'm by no means a Godzilla fan, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't excited by the prospect of this movie. Love that it's going back to the franchise's darker roots.

Dammit. With how long it was taking you to respond, I was hoping that Legendary took our soul in exchange for the trailer. :-\
No see the plan was to trade the souls of Aspie clones in the Black Soul Market, then trade THEM in for the trailer. Not selling our souls.

And what the hell happened to the roar? It sounds worst than the comic teaser and that sounded bad. Seriously Hollywood.... does everything need to be super different so you can sell your own version? Can you not for once show some a bit on integrity?

Drones don't fly when it is storming, not all satellites can't penetrate cloud cover and have to be in position to see (the earth rotates you know), and NSA "spies" are signal interceptors.  More than likely after a destruction of a city they'd be looking at the middle east to see which Terrorist group claimed responsibility for the attack.  Not sure what they would even be doing trying to look for Godzilla unless he communicates through coded cellphone messages before he attacks a city.

NASA has Drones that can scan storms. Use the satellites that can penetrate storms, the earth is littered with stuff orbiting now. The NSA can check on zilla's video game playing habits and see if he told his guild mate when he was going-THAT WAS OBVIOUSLY A JOKE!

There are always guys on the ground. 

No Army artillery has ever fired because a satellite told us to.  It takes guys on the ground to do that. 

LRS, RSTA, Ranger Recon, Marine Recon, SEALs and Special Forces that have reconnaissance training....if it wasn't needed still it wouldn't exist.

Then be able to play as the beast in destruction mode. Leveling cities and crushing Muto whatever the f**ks.

All that stuff you mentioned is to sneak in, needless to say, if they were trying to sneak pass zilla one wouldn't drop in with smoke nades showing your position. But, yes, we dont know what point in the movie this is or what they are doing.

There was a very brief POV shot from GMK before he nukes a bunch of people and it was basically normal, or at least human normal eyesight.

The problem with using that as an example is figuring out A: How canon it is to other Godzilla films, since GMK already changes up a few things, just about the way things work and shit. And B: If that's actually from Godzilla's eyes, or just a kinda artsy shot done cause they could.

I'd sooner trust actual worded exposition than a shot like that, but I'm not sure that is an option.

No Army artillery has ever fired because a satellite told us to.  It takes guys on the ground to do that. 

LRS, RSTA, Ranger Recon, Marine Recon, SEALs and Special Forces that have reconnaissance training....if it wasn't needed still it wouldn't exist.

Aside from that how do we know looking at a trailer that he wasn't visually confirmed by some other means?

All that stuff you mentioned is to sneak in, needless to say, if they were trying to sneak pass zilla one wouldn't drop in with smoke nades showing your position. But, yes, we dont know what point in the movie this is or what they are doing.

I doubt Godzilla considers individual human soldiers a threat. 

It also makes me think they are jumping into friendly territory because you are right, they wouldn't do that if Godzilla was wrecking Hong Kong or Moscow.

Well I think it's worth stating there's no set canon with Godzilla. One version is no more valid than the other. I was just giving the first example that came to mind. When the filmmakers do their jobs right the best of what came before is filtered into the next and I hope they manage that in 2014.

I'm aware of this. The difference being that GMK Godzilla, and the other monsters in it, were more Supernatural than any other Godzilla creatures, except maybe the Showa King Ceasar.

And I agree with what you said about 2014, and so far I believe that Gareth Edwards has those same thoughts in mind for this movie.

The GMK monsters were still biological entities. The spirit stuff in the movie was explained as a form of energy, so there's a level of pseudoscience there (same with the Gamera trilogy). The mysterious old man says while Godzilla might be altered by radiation and influenced by spirits, he was still an animal and could be destroyed, or at least temporarily.

Showa Caesar was definitely mystical in nature, although I think people are unaware that he's an artificial construction and not flesh and blood.   

QuoteI would be completely fine with a Mechagodzilla in this.

Well I just was poking fun at Pac Rim but I think that would clash with that they're trying to achieve here in terms or grounding the material, at least in this first movie, and even then I'd like other, more 'normal' type monsters introduced first.

I agree that more normal monsters should be introduced first. I didn't mean MechaGodzilla should be thrown in first movie.

I do however think a MechaGodzilla would be better in sequels than the Monster Island type of idea that was mentioned by Gareth Edwards earlier. Granted, this may be in part due to personal bias as I just really don't care for more than three or four monsters in one film.

This year's Prometheus teaser trailer. I mean that in a good way, because regardless of your opinions on the actual film, just about everybody could agree that it was a spectacular, chilling, and well put together trailer.

I think what I find the best thing about this trailer is the amount of restraint in the shots chosen, and the strength of the scenario they convey. It looks and feels like some kind of actual apocalypse, so when you first see Godzilla obscured in the smoke from a halo jumper's perspective, it's appropriately unreal feeling. Can't stress how perfectly the movie seems to be directed based on this trailer and the general direction.

Agreed on all of it, especially on the First Person perspective shot in the Big G. I saw that earlier today when I got home, and I was f**king shaking my head "NOPE, f**k that shit!" Here's to many more of that kind of feeling throughout the movie, because for once I really feel sorta, lack for a better word, "scared" of the Big G now. This movie is just gonna f**king toy with me mentally, can't wait.

Yeah, that's actually kind of chilling. I can't imagine how it'll look on the big screen. In terms of scariness, though, I want to see something like the Tokyo fight from Gamera 3, where you see the brutality of a monster in a big city.

Released back in 1978 on record. Then was transferred to various other formats over the years. Cassettes. CDs. MP3s. This contasins two tails of the Big G hitting the shores of the United States.

In which the Big-G encounters a mutated sea creature in the Bermuda Triangle, and the chase/battle lasts till the two hit Miami Beach.
The second, GODZILLA Vs. THE ALIEN INVASION.

A group of aliens plant "birth-pods" in Lake Michigan to prepare for the invasion ,and conquest of Earth. However, the plot is uncovered by two college students, when thanks to an unseasonably warm spring. Causes the pods to hatch, and release their mutant monsters on the world. Only, to have Godzilla emerge from the Lake, and deal with the two monsters. Thus forcing the aliens to move their invasion plans into motion faster than planned, and take their small army of monsters on an attack of Chicago.

Released back in 1978 on record. Then was transferred to various other formats over the years. Cassettes. CDs. MP3s. This contasins two tails of the Big G hitting the shores of the United States. I have the CD of this at home. And I found both tails on Youtube.com. The first, GODZILLA Vs. AMPHIBION.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QnqDkLSQF8s# (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QnqDkLSQF8s#) 
In which the Big-G encounters a mutated sea creature in the Bermuda Triangle, and the chase/battle lasts till the two hit Miami Beach.
The second, GODZILLA Vs. THE ALIEN INVASION.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=usL3zy7Z10E# (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=usL3zy7Z10E#)
A group of aliens plant "birth-pods" in Lake Michigan to prepare for the invasion ,and conquest of Earth. However, the plot is uncovered by two college students, when thanks to an unseasonably warm spring. Causes the pods to hatch, and release their mutant monsters on the world. Only, to have Godzilla emerge from the Lake, and deal with the two monsters. Thus forcing the aliens to move their invasion plans into motion faster than planned, and take their small army of monsters on an attack of Chicago.

I had a tape with both of those!! Goddamn that takes me back!

Going off of the soldier's point of view from the new trailer, Godzilla looks like he's easily as tall as the 555 California Street building, which is almost 780 feet tall.

He's going to be huge.

QuoteDirector Gareth Edwards described Godzilla as an anti-hero: "Godzilla is definitely a representation of the wrath of nature. The theme is man versus nature and Godzilla is certainly the nature side of it. You can't win that fight. Nature's always going to win and that's what the subtext of our movie is about. He's the punishment we deserve."

I kind of like the trailer. Nice mood and visuals but they're still holding back a lot. The next trailer needs a whole lot more Godzilla and less of the human drama that nobody cares for. Why are they still making such a mystery of how Godzilla looks? Everyone knows how he looks. It's just a little variation of the original look and nothing more so go ahead and give us some nice full shots.

That's definitely a way to look at it. The other being Godzilla as the physical representation of that nuclear weaponry and the effects that it had.

I think the latter is the original meaning to the work.  You can't fight a nuclear bomb and nothing they did stopped Godzilla (conventionally). 

Godzilla even irradiates children, just like the bombs dropped on Nagasaki and Hiroshima.

Yeah, as long as they can execute it properly, and without being groan-inducing and overbearing, I really don't care. If they think changing up the concept and theme behind the creature will be for the best in the movie they're attempting, they're probably right. All that's left to see is whether they pull it off or not.

Like with the RoboCop reboot, I think they're going for what's most thematically relevant in the present day.

The key word here is representation. Godzilla will represent nature's response to our irresponsible use of nuclear weaponry and technology, this has been confirmed. He won't be some creature spontaneously spawned from mother earth to destroy us for polluting it or something. So I wouldn't worry about that.

Besides, that has been a subtext of the films for a long time. The Heisei series jammed the anti-pollution pro-nature shit down our throat constantly.

I for some reason have a bad feeling this movie is going to be too CGI heavy, which may be over-kill.  I really hope they'll blend with some animatronics and miniatures (like Godzilla 1998) to add some visual depth and a believability that we haven't had the pleasure to enjoy with VFX in, really, about a decade.  It'll also be an ode to the original films.

Well, now it is, because so many people in the industry now lack that craft.

That's why I like Emmerich, because he'd only go to CGI if he absolutely could not accomplish the shot practically.  At least he used to.

However, Edwards is the same way as he is also known to really craft his visual effects with care, so, we'll see.

Hell, almost ten years ago, the teaser for Batman Begins, only showed Christian Bale for a split second in the full gear. The first trailer for The Amazing Spider-Man likewise only briefly. Both characters whose appearance is iconic ,and known at first glance. I heard nor read any bitching there.  With Godzilla, we got two good looks at the King of Kaiju in the teaser(which is basically only putting up a sign saying "We're Here"). While the one at the end had him concealed in a cloud of debris,but from one glance we all know who we're looking at. Plus the distinctive roar. The teaser works. Godzilla is on the way.

Well, even back in the days of the classics, it looked cheesy. But that's the charm of the classic Godzilla movies. Not dogging them or anything. I think if the tone that Edwards is aiming for in this new movie is to work, it has to rely on CGI more heavily than on anything else.

1998 does look better.

But I really do like the new design. Especially that tri-lobed pupil you can see in the licensing expo poster. And in the trailer it is very effective.

I'm finding it a bit hard to compare the two, myself. G98 is (and probably always will be) one of my favorite monster designs. It is something that has been with me for almost as long as I can remember.

This take on Godzilla seems like it retains a bit of the build and proportions of the 1998 design while bringing in the bulked-up look and iconic imagery of the original. I love it, and can't wait to see it in the film.

More or less it's like they put 1954 on one end of the spectrum, 1998 on the other, and decided to go for the middle point between the two.

Yup, I'm kind of getting that feeling as well.

Right from the start it was pretty much assumed that, while they were definitely going for the look of the original, they would have to take a bit more of a 'realistic' (for lack of a better word) approach if they want the audience to feel the same way with this film as the 1954 audience felt with the original.

Quote from: KNIGHT on Dec 11, 2013, 02:46:49 AMI do however think a MechaGodzilla would be better in sequels than the Monster Island type of idea that was mentioned by Gareth Edwards earlier. Granted, this may be in part due to personal bias as I just really don't care for more than three or four monsters in one film.

I think something like Mechagodzilla, or a manmade monster, could be introduced after Monster Island "fails" (presuming they use it as a site to contain the monsters).

(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimages2.cosmicbooknews.com%2Fgodzilla-2014-concept-sculpture-11.jpg&hash=0fba74d02925fb6c103f3c35d24bd01fc81f4fe3)

It looks really bad.  Really bad.  Half-assed.  Lame.

I'll take you're premature comments seriously once the movie is released, since A) we haven't seen it in action yet and B) I'm fairly sure that design is just a potential concept and the final version may differ from that slightly.

Also once you said the '98' version was better I couldn't help but cackle to myself, that's an ok design..yeah not bad for a giant hermaphrodite lizard who ran away at every confrontation and when he did fight he was killed by a couple of missiles, mmm yeah that was destruction incarnate alright...

Wasn't it? I'm pretty sure the creators said Godzilla represents nature.

Pretty sure they didnt say he was Captain Planet.

Nature's wrath, to be precise.

DaddyYautja is just going to be one of those people that just shits on the movie before the thing even comes out. It's funny.

Seriously though how many more trailers do they plan on releasing until release? does anyone know?..
this is the first official one but I expect to see at least two more different trailers and will they reveal Godzilla anymore than they have or will they keep this shroud of mystery until release?

I used my Imperial rubber Godzilla from 1985 as such. I'd remove his tale and place rolled up bills in there. A friend, upon witnessing a withdraw from the 'treasury' said. "Please tell me I didn't just see you pull money out of Godzilla's ass?"

Pretty sure i didnt say im 100% convinced it'll be bad. Heck, the only actually thing i said i didnt like was that the roar was made even worst. The rest is just asking question, asking why the parachute team is using smoke nades instead of strobe lights or glow sticks isnt anything but asking why. I didnt even say anything about the Captain Planet thing i just called it Captain Planet because i found it funny.

The only actual difference here is that you are all super positive while im not and you are bothered by that.

You're not so much commenting as you are just completely shitting on everything about it. You seem completely confident that it'll be bad, whereas the people like me believe it will be awesome. (Because it probably will.) But the difference is, we're not already 100% convinced it'll be awesome, like you are that it'll fail.

Pretty sure i didnt say im 100% convinced it'll be bad. Heck, the only actually thing i said i didnt like was that the roar was made even worst. The rest is just asking question, asking why the parachute team is using smoke nades instead of strobe lights or glow sticks isnt anything but asking why. I didnt even say anything about the Captain Planet thing i just called it Captain Planet because i found it funny.

The only actual difference here is that you are all super positive while im not and you are bothered by that.
By the way, im not the only one either.

I'm not bothered by it at all. But the way you've been speaking of the movie heavily implies that you're convinced it'll be bad. Perhaps you should word your posts better.

Quote from: genocyber on Dec 12, 2013, 08:16:41 PMSo yeah. I got into a big argument with my friend over this who considers this movie not a real kaiju film, and is ripping off Cloverfield. That his logic is a giant monster movie if not made by japanese is not a kaiju movie and is just a shitty ripoff. And he hates kaiju movies.

Well he's kind of got a point about this not being a kaiju or tokusatsu film exactly.

LOLOL Toho Kingdom actually called it a while back, when the feet were mentioned as stumps, and one of the maquettes that was revealed at comic con showed stumped feet. I at this point do not mind, because this Godzilla feels more like a f**king mountain than a giant lizard that is able to move so f**king quickly.

Lulz TK, worst place on planet Earth, damn good info sections though, but a bunch if folks that don't know what's good for them. Hell, I bet Godzilla's feet won't even be featured all that much anyway, too much f**king debris and smoke for anyone to be able to see below his knees.

I;m surprised they haven't seen the trailer yet and notice how slow moving and hunch backed Godzilla is. The Big G is a moving mountain, stumped feet are actually perfect because this Godzilla seems more like an unstoppable piece of the f**king Earth that is moving it's way around at a regular pace. Not this f**king extremely agile monster that can drop kick a giant beetle with drills for arms!

Post by: OmegaZilla on Dec 13, 2013, 05:09:19 PM
At this point, I don't think it'll look much different. Obviously there'll be more detail, but the intention is obviously to have pillar-like feet. The maquette showed that idea, too.

It in theory severely obstacles maneuvering (meaning this thing cannot in any way make turns in relatively quick times), but hey.

The forum's reputation sometimes precedes the site as a whole though and that's a shame. You can really dig for hours on the main site and find all sorts of cool stuff.

But as for the toy - I do think the fins are a tad dinky. But I guess that's because it's unfinished.

Just accept it and move on. There's still people in denial, trying to convince themselves and others that entities such as the Space Jockey in Alien exist as a different species and the Engineers merely worship them... goddammit.

Title: Re: Godzilla
Post by: OmegaZilla on Dec 14, 2013, 11:35:53 AM
To be completely on that, the stump feet do not work correctly for a biped. They will severely obstacle the movements of that thing -- meaning it'll be very, very slow, and with difficulties in making any kind of turn. As said though, they don't necessarily have to be the best evolutoonary option (it is a mutation) so yeah, debate is useless. Real reason fans are blarrhing about it is because they want the old lizard-oid feet.

Godzilla always had a certain specificity to his head that distinguished him from a prototypical dragon or generic dinosaur.

I'd say G98 is much more generic dragon that dinosaur. It's head really doesn't look like a T-rex's. The dinosaur aspects are all from the ribcage down.

They did want to make "a Dragon with a realistic finish".

All it shares with a dinosaur is the fact it's bipedal, digitigrade, reptilian and with a horizontal posture. It looks like a modern idea of dinosaur in virtually the same ratio as the original looks like an obsolete idea of dinosaur. Literally.

The head is crocodile + monitor lizard + custom dragonlike stuff (highlighted, plated cheekbones) + Shere Khan.

Bipedal reptilian would refer to that (and the tail). And the similarities are all in the basic structure archetype. Like a reptilian digitigrade biped could have much different legs from a theropod anyway.

Requiem,

Second image is not in the film (test shot). Some of them are not finished film shots. Some are promo shots. Last one is a hero suit.

Personally the dodgy shots in the film are mostly in the baby sequence, with 5 or 6 shots being the dodgy shots. The only shot of the adult I find dodgy is when it hits the fence before the guys get to the taxi. Every film ever with SFX and VFX has those, though.

I was watching it last night again with my mom (both my parents are big fans of the movie)  and she surprisingly pointed out the shot where Godzilla climbs out of his hole when they first draw him out as being a dodgy shot because the physics of it looked unnatural....

Just the way he kinda move upward out of the hole effortlessly, like he's sorta being pulled up by his head by something off screen.  I never really noticed the awkwardness until she pointed it out, which is weird that she would even notice that.  It's the next shot of him right after his head comes crashing out of the pavement and Nick tries to run away, only to get blocked off by the falling pavement.

Yes I know the shot. Don't find anything wrong with it, though. It's just a very graceful movement for something that massive. Pulls itself up with right leg, lands with right hand and left leg, finishes climbing.

The new Godzilla's foot makes sense. The thing is 150 meters tall or so, and not very slender. All it needs is lots of surface area on the bottom of his feet, it's not like he needs that much articulation to move fast. And the thicker the legs, the better the support. He's not just a scaled up dinosaur.

Neither was Zilla, but that was certainly more saurian, and not a massive lumbering mountain.

It's still missing the point by a longshot. You just don't alter an established character in such a manner. The design has been virtually changing since 1954 and nothing comes close to what they did in '98.

This post from TK just about sums it up...
QuoteThe difference is the approach. TriStar's GODZILLA movie was made by Dean Devlin and Roland Emmerich, who weren't Godzilla fans, couldn't understand how people could like the old movies, and had zero interest in honoring what had come before.

The best theory I've heard about it so far is that the squad is dropping down to evac some human targets/vips/civilians. A squad of regular humans, even a large one by our standards, would be very easy for Godzilla to miss. I don't think they're trying to actually land on Godzilla.

I don't know. Maybe seeing the scene in context in May might answer that question ;)

But really, I have no clue. Maybe the army has some secret weapon that that think might work, but it requires the soldiers to be right up close with Godzilla in order for it to do so?

With the tone this is going for I'd say less anti-hero and more pissed off beast that tramples anything in it's path that's foolish enough to cross him. The Mutos are probably what crosses him forcing him to fight. He doesn't care about us, nor is he trying to save the Earth he's just a force of nature that happens to be a pissed off irradiated dinosaur (if that's still his origin in this) as has been mentioned.

Maybe he simply killes other Kaijus, which let's the protagonists of the movie get away...

QuoteThe film is said to be more grounded and "real" so how do you plausibly handle his creation, his atomic breath and other elements?

Edwards:  It was important to me to make it as believable as possible and with all of those elements you've mentioned, they're in the film but I tried to put them in the film where they're not so fantastical that you don't believe it.  Hopefully, the only big buy the audience has to make – and I believe there can only be one buy – is that giant creatures can exist.  Beyond that, we try to make it as realistic as possible.  Throughout the franchise, there's consistently been these elements related to Godzilla and they're in this film, but it was about making it feel natural in our film.  I can't go into much more details.  There is a nuclear element in the movie.

It's still a terrible re-imagination. They came up with their own monster, stuck as loosely as they could to Toho's guidelines, and called it Godzilla. And they only got away with it because they were hot off ID4. Toho and TriStar are partly to blame, but if Devlin and Emmerich actually liked the character to begin with, we might not have gotten a good movie, but at least something with a little more heart and charm. The movie as it is remains a contemptuous, derivative disaster

Not very loosely, since the final design sports details applied under requests from TOHO: first maquette had two rows of plates; they asked for a third central one. They also asked for the dew finger to be removed in the midst of production. Due to schedule and budget issues, the FX men could do that only with the adult. Had they stuck 'loosely' the design would've been changed more (or rejected off hand).
Title: Re: Godzilla
Post by: Gilfryd on Dec 15, 2013, 08:39:51 PM
The fact that the design was approved at all comes from Devlin and Emmerich' "take it or leave it" mentality with the project. TriStar and Toho were desperate to get a movie made and there was no way they'd turn down the men behind the hugely successful ID4. In the end, GINO only grossed half a much as that movie because audiences received a film that went nowhere with Godzilla. The movie just falls apart as soon as the title character shows up, and when you've had more than a year's worth of build up, what kind of payoff is that? Fans weren't the only ones at the theatre betrayed.

Nonsense. Almost every big time director TriStar asked turned it down. WHEN they found one, Jan de Bont, he left because he felt he wasn't given the resources to show off the main star - you know, Godzilla.

Devlin and Emmerich were asked several times, even before Stargate, to do the movie and they only relented after ID4 and as long as they had free reign, which of course meant changing everything.

QuoteFans were what was behind the corrosive word of mouth.

More bullshit.

Fans aren't a big or loud enough group to affect the BO of a huge mainstream blockbuster. Godzilla had a huge drop off after its first weekend, and most people were relatively disappointed after all that build up. The film simply didn't deliver on its premise of Americanizing Godzilla.

Judging by the trailer, I think it's ridiculous to call Godzilla an antihero in this movie. Antivillain, maybe.

That's not necessarily true depending on how the production was set up.
It was all conceptual by that point. De Bont had just left, there was a script and Winston Studios had done several concept art pieces and three maquettes. That's it. TOHO wouldn't have lost a dime -- TriStar, at worst, would have.

G98 is objectively bad, guys. It did comparatively poorly at the box office, critics hated it, fans hated it.
But guess what? You can still like bad movies, and there's nothing wrong with that. In fact, I'm almost glad someone likes the damn thing. Personally I like plenty of terribad movies (Alien Resurrection is in my top 10, ffs) but there's a difference between saying "this movie is shit, and I love it regardless" and "this movie everyone else always shits on and complains about is actually brilliant LALALALA I CAN'T HEAR YOU LALALALA".

Post by: Gilfryd on Dec 15, 2013, 10:30:38 PM
A big international movie like the '98 or upcoming film means more than twice the amount of money than a standard domestic release for Toho with only half the amount of work. But if TriStar never put out a film it still would have been a mishandled opportunity for both studios after nearly a decade of trying to get a big American film made. They had been trying to get a film made since the early '90s and when the creators of ID4 signed on they thought they had their big ticket. And while the film did make quite a bit of money for Toho and they would have loved a sequel, TriStar was more than underwhelmed by the movie's overall performance for several reasons and sat on the rights till 2003.

And saying fans alone are somehow the cause of the movie failing is still outright baloney.

Not exactly. There was some degree of pre-production, but it eventually got in development hell until 2003. Unless you refer to that.

You're just not making any sense. Yeah there are a lot of Godzilla fans but those casual movie goers, not to mention just casual Godzilla fans, outnumber them overwhelmingly. You can't tell me other big property movies like Batman & Robin, Spider-Man 3, Terminator Salvation, even something like Dragonball Evolution were brought down simply because a lot of fans complained and normal people listened to them. Emmerich has gone on to make other underwhelming turds like 10,000 BC, Anonymous and White House Down - Godzilla is no different, just made all the more disappointing by being his lazy, overhyped post-ID4 effort and a terrible adaptation.

Hey, i like the movie...it's my guilty pleasure (Emmerich movies in general, no masterpieces but a nice diversion like Pirates of the Caribbean). The line "most don't understand it and have to hate it." just got me  ;)

Change is fine, but when the main monster is completely redesigned to be unrecognizable and behaves in a way that is not at all in accordance with his established behaviour, then proceeds to rip off another movie altogether (baby Gs being like raptors from TLW), then we have a problem.

I admit, there are some criticisms of the film that don't make sense to me. Like saying G98 has campy acting. It's actually pretty standard, and the film treats itself more seriously than many other Godzilla movies.

But saying that they simply changed the character and created their own interpretation doesn't mean we should accept it. Changes in interpretation depends on how well it is done in regards to the character, especially one as old as Godzilla. Sure, they kept the origin of the creature, the plot structure, and occupation of the main characters pretty in line with classic Godzilla. But the character, the personality, and the abilities of the monster are so radically changed that the creature isn't the same.

Imagine if Batman or Spiderman were redesigned so that they looked nearly unrecognizable. And then they had some of their distinctive personalities and abilities altered or removed. Fans would throw a shit fit, and rightly so, because the characters have been altered too much. Interpretation only goes so far.

GMK is an example of how to reinterprete Godzilla without straying too far from what makes him who he is. His origin and motivation is changed, but the monster is the same. That's how it should be done.

Shit, Godzilla: The Series proved that it could have been awesome, even with the radically changed design.

Bottom line, it's fine if anyone likes G98. I enjoy it as a simple monster movie, and it has some great shots in it. But its not Godzilla.

Bottom line, it's fine if anyone likes G98. I enjoy it as a simple monster movie, and it has some great shots in it. But its not Godzilla.

Yellow Alien you said it just right which i agree 100% so can we now move on and talk about Big G 2014!!

When People say, Zilla did not behave like Gojira, do they mean he wasn't the hero (like he became in the japanese film series after the original movie)?

If it's that then I'm gonna go with f**k no!

For me Godzilla has always been unapologetic, the raw Dimension of nature that does not differ between good or bad, it just IS.
I'm gonna commit Sepukku here and confess: From the original japanese series I only love (and take seriously) The very first Godzilla movie and Godzilla 1984. Percisely because of my Point.

Alright... I think Godzilla vs. Biollante was awsum... loved Biollante as the counterpart... and yes I also find the Clash against the heisei-King Gidorah legendary... ah damn, too many good childhood memories watching those movies  ;D :-X ::) :D

No, not the hero. He didn't act like Godzilla because he chose to run away from the military like a scared rabbit rather than hold his ground and reduce them to rubble.

I want Roland Emmerich to come out with a new statement on his film.  I know for a fact that he and tbe studio didn't intentionally "shit" on the character when they were developing the movie.  They were simply reimagining it.  Look at the new Robocop and recent design choices in some superhero films.  They only redesign classic characters if they want to take a hopefully more believable approach to it.  They came up with a slightly different/ new origin for Godzilla in the 1998 film and had to roll with what outcomes would likely happen from it.  They also kept in line with the traditional structure of Godzilla movies; example, building up visual clues of how big and what the monster is capable of doing before actually revealing him, military might vs. monster, reporter, scientist and military's vantage point, etc.  They didn't completely ignore the formula of the original.  They just tried to keep more in line with the new approach they were taking aswell.  If anything, they were looking more at the original 1954 film for reference than the campy sequels and more far-fetched outings (Godzilla vs. aliens, etc.)  I love those movies too, but don't make them look like masterpieces compared to the '98 film.  They are not by any means.  Just monster flicks, is all. 

The acting wasn't always A+ in the originals either, so why pan it in the '98 film?  If anything, it was a nod to its predecessors.

It simply looks like some people just can't take change as easily as others.  I understand we all have opinions, but slamming others for having one isn't right yo.  But a las, the debate continues, and I'll be in it, lol.

I admit, there are some criticisms of the film that don't make sense to me. Like saying G98 has campy acting. It's actually pretty standard, and the film treats itself more seriously than many other Godzilla movies.

But saying that they simply changed the character and created their own interpretation doesn't mean we should accept it. Changes in interpretation depends on how well it is done in regards to the character, especially one as old as Godzilla. Sure, they kept the origin of the creature, the plot structure, and occupation of the main characters pretty in line with classic Godzilla. But the character, the personality, and the abilities of the monster are so radically changed that the creature isn't the same.

Imagine if Batman or Spiderman were redesigned so that they looked nearly unrecognizable. And then they had some of their distinctive personalities and abilities altered or removed. Fans would throw a shit fit, and rightly so, because the characters have been altered too much. Interpretation only goes so far.

GMK is an example of how to reinterprete Godzilla without straying too far from what makes him who he is. His origin and motivation is changed, but the monster is the same. That's how it should be done.

Shit, Godzilla: The Series proved that it could have been awesome, even with the radically changed design.

Bottom line, it's fine if anyone likes G98. I enjoy it as a simple monster movie, and it has some great shots in it. But its not Godzilla.

I understand what you and others are saying. Perhaps they were maybe just testing the new approach with audience?  It still had distinct Godzilla features (dorsal fins, roar, number of toes and fingers, etc.)  Just revamped to make it feel like it at least originated from a modern creature (iguana, not a lost dinosaur)

My very first issue of G-fan had an interview with Dean Devlin in it where he said that they were planning on having Godzilla's atomic breath evolve over time. I guess the idea was that the first creature was a more vulnerable, early version of what the American Godzilla would end up being like, which was basically the Godzilla from the cartoon series. And judging from that G2 script treatment, this was the case. I admit, I am intrigued by what that second film could have been like, and part of me wished it would have been made.

Some actors appearing in classic Toho genre films were also Kurosawa regulars... it was part of the studio system that fell apart in the 1970s. The actors saw no difference between appearing in samurai to kaiju to small family dramas. People go after the older movies, but they tend to be better acted, staged, generally well put together compared to the modern entries. If Emmerich/Devlin went after hammy actors for their movie it's just another sad misunderstanding they about the series.

I also have to disagree with statements like this. When the series became a bit more fantasy oriented with movies featuring monster fights, Mothra, Ghidorah, aliens invaders the filmmakers still treated the stories earnestly. They aren't talking down to anybody (certainly not as much a the Showa Gamera films), and are no more different than the comic book/superhero films coming out now... they were meant to be fun movies for general audiences. Godzilla became a character for everyone.

Quote from: Omegazilla on Dec 16, 2013, 09:52:53 PMAnd if the sequels can change personality to it, no reason why a remake can't.

While the character had a 'change of heart' in the mid '60s, he was still a big, mean headstrong bastard. He became a character kids could look up to while still maintaining the same basic look, abilities, etc. The character is very flexible for interpretation, like any good creation, but it still takes a basic understanding to get that right - something Emmerich/Devlin obviously lacked.

Personally I don't think there should be any other monsters in this film besides godzilla. Any showdown fight is just another unnecessary hollywood cliche that detracts from the story of godzilla raping humanity. I hope it's just Godzilla wrecking **** up unchallenged and the army eventually finds a way to stop him. I hope that shot in the teaser where he rises from the debris is the aftermath of that giant missile you see in one of the shots. They realize they can't kill him so they manage to lure him away from populated areas or something, to that monster island or whatever it's called, have godzilla willingly turn his back on humanity. Leave the monster fights for a sequel.

They realize they can't kill him so they manage to lure him away from populated areas or something, to that monster island or whatever it's called, have godzilla willingly turn his back on humanity. Leave the monster fights for a sequel.

He's being described as an anti-hero but more on the villainous side, as opposed to the Heisei films where he was pretty neutral as a hero/villain. :P

oh, ok so godzilla's still the bad guy, they just made badder guys for him to fight with just because? Or maybe the other monsters are good guys, used by the army. Perhaps the missile is a giant pokeball and these other monsters pop out of and gangbang godzilla.

just trying to figure out how they're gonna get this multiple monsters gig to work. Isn't this the sort of thing you do once you run out of ideas for a movie and try not to go full Die Hard 5.

The teaser seemed to suggest it was a convincing "realistic" take on humanity's reaction to having a moving mountain tearing the place up, but now there's going to be multiple monsters running around in a big royal rumble.

Going by what I remember descriptions said at Comic-Con this year, the enemy's are bug monsters called Mutos and they're dwarfed by Godzilla himself. So I'm guessing they'll be kind of like a spiritual successor to Destroyah and get bigger as the film goes on culminating into a giant monster as large as Godzilla but the film will treat the whole thing as if giant monsters really did fight in a city.

It is what it will be. Godzilla being an anti-hero or "redeemed" as a hero by the end of this 2014 film is somewhat inevitable because the studio is hoping to spawn a series of films if this one is successful. Godzilla as a pure threat worked well in Gojira 1954, but I dare to say that its direct sequels were blatantly a chain of retcons of the first film's ending. I would think this studio would try and avoid that route. Since this is USA, a rebooted Godzilla has 3 probabilities: to either be arrested by "batman" in the name of justice, slain (Gojira 1954; Zilla 98') for the sake of humanity, or redeemed in the eyes of humanity by film's conclusion. I can tell you now that no one is arresting Big G; so that narrows it down to 2 possibilities however unlikely it is that Godzilla will be destroyed by the film's conclusion (shitting out a little Godzilla for the sequels at the moment of his death).

That's because the first movie is all about the bomb. Godzilla himself is an allegory for nuclear energy (ergo the atom bomb), the destruction it's capable of and the pain and suffering nuclear weapons can be and are capable of.

The only real retcons I can think of are from the Millennium series where they deliberately changed events from 1954 to tell original 'what if' stories. The Showa sequels and Heisei series just went with a second Godzilla appearing, not changing anything from the original.

Is that so? I'm not as well versed as some on this thread, but I've seen the 1954 film and some scattered sequels and clips. Is it ever stated in the direct sequel that "Godzilla" is another of its kind or able to rebirth?

G-man is the never ending cycle of building new weapons.
When you build a new weapon the first thing that happens is the appearance of the ghost of that weapon now being used against you by the enemy so you then go on to make and even MORE powerful weapon and that, of course, brings the ghost of the new weapon, etc, etc. It's a never ending cycle.

G-man is that ghost of the weapon being used but instead of the attack coming by some other country, some one that can be taken down it is in fact just a living version of the weapon that is not under anyone's control. Not being under anyone's control is super scary because anyone is a target.

This is why Serizawa had the answer to stop Gojira but didnt want to use it. And when he did use it he took himself out to stop a new cycle from beginning.

It's an all new Godzilla in Godzilla Raids Again, which would carry the original series until Terror of Mechagodzilla.

When the Heisei series started, which ignores all previous sequels, a new Godzilla appeared in The Return of Godzilla. Things seem confusing by Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah because the future people in that movie try to erase Godzilla from history. They failed to understand though the 1954 Godzilla, which had been destroyed, was a separate creature than the then current Godzilla of the '90s. In trying to remove the original Godzilla from reality they actually created the Heisei Godzilla. And by the end of Godzilla vs. Destoroyah we find out the Godzilla of the Futurians' time would (probably) be the adult Godzilla Junior.

The Millennium series has a scattered chronology but is a bit easier to understand -
G2K - probably same as 1954 (events not described)
GXM - same as 1954 (events definitely described, no oxygen destroyer)
GMK - same as 1954 (destroyed in '54, returns by spirits)
GXMG | GMMG - different Godzilla, bones of original used to create Kiryu
GFW - same as '54, defeated in the 1960s and woken up in the future to "defend" earth

That's about it.  :)

Until around the early 90's (late 80's?), just in time for Jurassic Park.

Godzilla was born 1954 when the standing upright while dragging it's tail around thing was still widely accepted for T-rex.

How are they certain that giant theropod dinosaurs had that many feathers? I can imagine the small dinosaurs with them but how are they sure that dino's like the Rex had them? I must be missing something... :-\

They aren't certain. But given the growing evidence for feathers across most, if not all, theropod groups, it's not unlikely.

That's what I like to think,
Maybe they had feathers around their head for territorial displays? sort of like lions and peacocks..
Since most predators prefer to not risk injury in a fight, they'd rather use bluff tactics..

QuoteJust when you thought official website's were dead, Japanese distributor Toho launched this interactive website for the forthcoming Godzilla, in theaters here in the States on May 16, 2014.

The newly launched site allows users to control Godzilla, and stomp him through a city on his way back to the ocean. There are some secret kets that do some pretty cool stuff, like causing Godzilla to roar and shoot flames from his mouth.

It's the opening scene of an early draft of the script that got leaked. I thought the reports were fake, but a little digging reveals its most likely true. Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Elizabeth Olson's characters are younger (she's only 11), and Dr. Serizawa is named Dr. Honda. Drew Pearce came on board sometime in 2012 and aged them up.

Well that sucked. That has to be the single most pointless Mothra appearance in a slew of pointless Mothra appearances, and Little Godzilla was just terrible.

That's one of my favorites you heathen :P

It's funny how your knee-jerk response to criticism surrounding anything that isn't G98 is to post G98 as a counterpoint.

And yes, it's a kids toy, but as anything else, it's unspectacular, so who really gives a shit? Cute though.

Rodan does have teeth in many of his appearences.

Most Pterosaurs did have teeth; only Pteranodonts and Azdarchids, as well as some specific other ones (IIRC) were toothless. In the original film Rodan compared to a Pteranodon but, you know, it's clearly not.

From the latest issue of Empire:

Quote"I'm trying not to do the obvious thing that everybody does with a film like this, and at its heart is the father-son pairing of Bryan Cranston's nuclear physicist and Aaron Johnson's soldier. The quiet moments during their journey of colossal discovery, insists Edwards, provide a valuable contrast to the big action beats. "It makes the big things look bigger when you've just had a quiet moment. If everything is whizz-bang constantly throughout the whole movie it just becomes nothing. So you have to carefully go to quiet and restrain things so that the other things hit you hard."

I am obviously pleased to hear that, but I fear that they're trying a bit too much now to try and persuade us into enjoying this film in the way that they want us to.  Not trying to sound negative, but I think it would have been much more delightful if we discovered that for ourselves as we sit in the theater.

The X-Plus Gigantic series GMK Godzilla figure should be here sometime this week. Can't wait.

Judging from this great video it sounds like the next figure in the Gigantic Series is going to be Burning Godzilla.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=womDUibVWVs#ws (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=womDUibVWVs#ws)

And since the Gigantic GMK sculpt favors a fantastical flare rather than suit accuracy we might be able to assume it's predecessor will look something like this.

That doesn't justify the feet. A silly design choice is a silly design choice. You can't look at, say, Sharktopus and say it's a good design because "Would you be laughing if that was coming at you?". It's a movie, they can make him look like how they want him to look.

And they gave him elephant feet.

And there are a lot of people that do. It's a personal preference and an opinion.

The new feet are fine. Actually, they might be great-- from a ground level, they'd look massive, they'd have weight, and they'd have more surface area to flatten you with.

QuoteYou have uncovered the first hint at our new G mini-series! As you can deduce, it will be in May! More will be said about it in due time, but I will clear up that it has nothing to do with the 2014 movie (not the same design, not the same anything). It's just timed to capitalize on the movie interest.

That doesn't justify the feet. A silly design choice is a silly design choice. You can't look at, say, Sharktopus and say it's a good design because "Would you be laughing if that was coming at you?". It's a movie, they can make him look like how they want him to look.

And they gave him elephant feet.



The stumps for feet make sense to me. From what we've seen in the trailer, Godzilla looks like he's walking all hunch backed and such, he honestly looks like a slow moving mountain that is laying waste to everything he walks towards. He does not look athletic at all. Sure you can say the same about the films we saw in the 90s, and say "hey, he wasn't f**king doing football moves like he did in Final Wars either, and YET he had feet that didn't look like stumps!"

The point here being that the stumps make sense with this version they are doing. Besides, the feet are the least of our worries when we'll probably hardly see them anyway.

The thing doesn't look like it'll be running at all. For a slow creature like that, they make sense. Issues come when A. it has to turn and B. it has to rise from the water. I wonder how they'll present that.

Considering Godzilla isn't based on a real animal, I don't think it's fair to say he has "bad feet".

We don't know what he is in this new movie. In general terms he's always been an irradiated, prehistoric marine reptile. Referencing modern paleontology is tricky when redesigning him now because he's so much of a throwback. He's not a bird, he's more of a crocodile and that seems to be the direction they're taking with this and that makes me very happy. But he's still a monster more than anything, and they can do whatever they want as long as it looks and feels like Godzilla.

Post by: Space Sweeper on Jan 03, 2014, 10:56:48 PM
It's like the opposite of Prometheus so far with how we got an awesome vague teaser trailer that still managed to show too much, then we got trailers and behind the scenes videos so specific and revealing that people were literally able to correctly map the movie out from start to finish along with hilarious over-analysis which lead to over-expectations for stuff that didn't even exist and never would.

However, this manages to be Prometheus' opposite in that the awesome teaser trailer didn't show too much, which in turn makes fanboys even more rabid and insane for information that squares will start turning into circles and so on when the begin to analyze material we've had for months.

But Heisei Ghidorah was controlled by future people... and then turned into a cyborg by the good guys. Plus the Dorat origin is so complicated and ridiculous (much like Godzilla's 'revised' origin in that movie).

At least Showa Ghidorah started out as a chaotic world destroyer before being tossed around like a drunk girl at a frat party. The closest we've gotten to the classic version is Grand Ghidorah from Rebirth of Mothra III and even then the movie was awful and the design's execution was lifeless.

Saw trailer on the big screen yesterday, still not sure what this movie is gonna be.  All I can think is that it will be the Pacific Rim prologue where they track it down for six days and kill it with tanks, jets, etc.

Something tells me that they're not gonna kill Godzilla off. First of all, franchise potential. But even beyond that, the way they seem to be presenting him for this film, I feel like humanity isn't going to have the means to get rid of him permanently.

Unless someone has an oxygen destroyer up their sleeve ;)

You're right but if audiences didn't flock to see humans in giant robot suits fighting alien invaders, what chance does Godzilla have of pulling in audiences wanting to see monsters VS monsters?  Kind of like the Hulk, people just didn't turn out for his solo flicks but loved him in smaller, more important role in Avengers.

Smaug is pretty large, but smaller than any version of Godzilla.


I don't really get the fixation of putting up Godzilla against everything though (and no, don't pull the whole 'King of the Monsters' thing -- that was added in the title of the american cut of the original). Oh, THIS film with THIS giant Monster came out! SCREW THAT SHIT GODZILLA WOULD BEAT IT. Always like that. Gets boring after a while.

It's the 55 meter Kiryu Godzilla. It was just meant to be a funny pic though. We got Smaug last year, but now we've got another monster coming. Perhaps they should have used a shot of the new design.

Godzilla's been beaten by other monsters and super weapons before so if anything, he's more like how Superman or the Hulk are usually portrayed OUTSIDE the comics. He's a powerhouse, but manageable if the characters are smart about it.

This is true, although there are exceptions, such as Heisei Ghidorah being a space monster in Half Century War. They apparently have a thing out for the Showa design. Jeff Zornow tried drawing a cover featuring it and Toho made him swap it out for the GMK version.

I actually liked how it gave an explanation for why monsters suddenly started crawling out of the woodwork after the Big G showed up. I also find it kind of funny how Space Godzilla is a ridiculous coincidence no matter who writes him. :laugh:
Space Godzilla was so random. I love how nobody questions it. "He looks exactly like Godzilla! That means nothing to me."

I feel like a lot of the ideas could have been fleshed out.

We never really see what happens to Deverich. And I kind of wished that the hero had been a bit more... obsessed. More Captain Ahab.

I always liked the tune. Feels more alive than the original (and I am a Zeppelin enthusiast). It is quite filled with energy. Ould've done better with some other voice, but it's good the way it is.

Problem for me is, I have never been quite able to associate the lyrics to the film itself without derailing to extremely far-fetched metaphors.

Even though the lyrics are laughable.  :D  I think P.Diddy's can be taken more seriously by more people.  While it doesn't directly reference events in the film, it still sorta touches on certain emotions that would be emitted in an event like Godzilla invading.

So, about Raids Again, am I the only one who thinks the finale with the planes goes on for way too long? It seemed to take them forever to start burying him in snow (how that works I still don't know) and then they quit and regroup to try a new strategy, which takes even longer.

Also, having just watched KKvG in its original form for the second time, I've just picked up on how dumb that submarine crew is. I mean they actually thought it was a good idea to head straight towards an ice burg. Better yet, when Godzilla pops out of it, he's literally right at the military base. And you gotta love dat Toho logic, where an island covered in snow somehow mutated into an ice burg between movies. :laugh:

Oh, and BTW, I'd totally be down for Godzilla vs Mr. Tako. Just saiyan...

A strong sense of continuity between films wasn't a top priority for the filmmakers back then, they just wanted to make the best individual movie possible, and with the audience not viewing the films again at home like we do now it's understandable.

Man, look at what I found in another thread:

Quote from: Wolfpred on Feb 29, 2008, 11:12:14 PM
.unmade Godzilla films.

Frankenstien vs Godzilla 1960's
(remember that toho made Frankenstien vs Baragon/Frankenstien Conquers the World)
What Happened:
At this point, Toho had tried for several years to make a film with the Frankenstein monster. After the failed idea of "Frankenstein vs. The Human Vapor", Toho went to another screenwriter who came up with a very good script. The script for this film came from Takeshi Kimura, who pondered the matchup and actually produced a 100% finished script for the film. However, the screenplay was rejected as a vehicle for Godzilla, but Toho thought it had potential and used major portions of it to create "Frankenstein Conquers the World".

Godzilla vs Hehorah 2 1972
What Happened:
Director of "Godzilla vs. Hedorah", Yoshimitsu Banno, was so happy with the Hedorah creation that he started writing a sequel even before "Godzilla vs. Hedorah" had been released to Japanese audiences! The project didn't get very far, however, for when Tomoyuki Tanaka, who had been in the hospital during the film's creation, returned, he was very unhappy with "Godzilla vs. Hedorah", even declaring that Banno that had ruined Godzilla! So although "Godzilla vs. Hedorah" was still released, Director Banno never came near a Godzilla movie again and "Godzilla vs. Hedorah II" was immediately scrapped. Banno wasn't even allowed to direct Toho films anymore and was reduced to an assistant director. Tanaka then ordered an immediate start on the next film, which would feature the return of King Ghidorah and Anguirus so that they could get back to the more traditional Godzilla films. Mr. Banno had also begun developing another film script for Godzilla even before he came up with the idea for "Godzilla vs. Hedorah II". It was going to feature yet another anti-pollution theme, in which Godzilla would battle a giant, pollution-mutated starfish, but he let it go in favor of a sequal to "Godzilla vs. Hedorah".

Godzilla vs the Space Monsters 1972 ("Godzilla vs Gigan version one")
After both the filming of "Godzilla vs. Hedorah" and the scrapping of the "Godzilla vs. Hedorah II" project, producer Tomoyuki Tanaka began exploring new concepts for the next Godzilla film. The first idea was "King Ghidorah's Counterattack", which would have featured Godzilla, Rodan, and Varan battling King Ghidorah, Gigan, and the new kaiju called Mogu. This idea was thrown out and replaced with "Godzilla vs. the Space Monsters: Earth Defense Directive". This film featured Godzilla and Anguirus battling King Ghidorah, Gigan, and Megalon alongside a new kaiju named Majin Tuol (based on DaiMajin from Daiei Studios). However, this idea was dropped as well and reworked to create 1972's "Godzilla vs. Gigan".

Godzilla vs the Devil 1976-1979 LOL
What Happened:
This film would have been a joint project between both the United States and Japan, with the production companies of Toho and UPA Productions in charge of it. The budget for the film was set at four million dollars and the script was soon to be written by American Reuben Bercovitch. In the movie, Godzilla would face many monsters with the climax being Godzilla fighting the Devil himself. However, despite an announced release date for 1978, this film was never made.

The Return of Godzilla version one/Godzilla 1985 version one/Godzilla vs Bagan 1984
What Happened:
In 1980, Godzilla series producer Tomoyuki Tanaka sought to correct his mistake of allowing his anti-nuclear monster to turn into a humanized hero. Mr. Tanaka brought in screenwriter Akira Murao to come up with a new story for the next Godzilla film, which would also help celebrate Toho Studio's 50th Anniversary. Murao came up with a 47-page treatment called "The Return of Godzilla". However, this first version was curiously based on the premise that Godzilla himself was not sufficient to carry the story. As a result, the enemy monster Bagan was created to challenge Godzilla, a kaiju that would continue to resurface in several story proposals through the 1980s and 1990s. Godzilla was to have defeated Bagan by the end of the first act, and then become the enemy of mankind. After the monster vs. monster part of the film, the rest of the movie becomes basically a rehash of the original Godzilla film's plot. However, this idea was ultimately thrown out in favor of the more serious and anti-nuclear version of "The Return of Godzilla".

Godzilla vs King Kong 1990's
What happened:
Toho tryed to make a remake of one of the most successful Godzilla film King Kong vs Godzilla. But they could get the rights to King Kong.

Godzilla vs Ghost Godzilla 1995
What happened:
It made since that Godzilla would be killed by Godzilla, so basically the ghost of the 1954 Godzilla. The script was later changed to Godzilla vs Destroyah. Replacing the ghost Godzilla with Destroyah.

Godzilla vs the Gryhon 1994 (the original american Godzilla)
What Happened:
Tristar obtained the rights to make an American Godzilla film from Toho in 1992 and had hoped to have the film released in the summer of 1994. However, the script wasn't even written until late 1993 (Godzilla actually looked like Godzilla in this original script). This script, written by screenwriters Terry Rossio and Ted Elliot, was completed it in November 1993. However, at this point a director still hadn't been attached to the project. After trying several directors, the studio eventually settled on "Speed" director Jan DeBont in mid 1994. DeBont was a fan of Godzilla since seeing the original as a child in Holland and this gave fans hope that Godzilla was in good hands. DeBont pledged to deliver a Godzilla with all the realism of modern special effects, but to retain the personable spirit that made Godzilla so lovable over the years. DeBont came together with Rossio and Elliot to rework the script and the revised script was ready in December 1994. However, Tristar still planned on taking major creative liberties with Godzilla's mythology. The monster would have an all-new origin, would play the role of Earth's defender against an evil alien invader, and the main character of the story was a female scientist determined to slay Godzilla to avenge the death of her husband, who was killed during Godzilla's first appearance. Now with the script revised, director DeBont sent crews to create a Japanese fishing village on the Oregon coast for Godzilla's attack on the Kuril Islands. However, nothing was ever filmed thanks to Tristar's parent company, Sony, who was not happy with the cost of DeBont's Godzilla and soon the two went their separate ways. The script was rewritten once again and Tristar eventually hooked Independence Day's Dean Devlin and Roland Emmerich to produce/direct the film for about half of DeBont's price, but we all know what happened with THAT now don't we?
      Stan Winston Studios made a Godzilla prototype for the film:

I do think it's a shame Yoshimitsu Banno never got to make another Godzilla film, although apparently he's still trying to get his own Godzilla 3D made.

And of course Godzilla 1996 was SO CLOSE to happening.  :(

A strong sense of continuity between films wasn't a top priority for the filmmakers back then, they just wanted to make the best individual movie possible, and with the audience not viewing the films again at home like we do now it's understandable.

I know that. I just get a kick out of cataloging that sort of thing.

Quote from: Wolfpred on Feb 29, 2008, 11:12:14 PM
.unmade Godzilla films.

Frankenstien vs Godzilla 1960's
(remember that toho made Frankenstien vs Baragon/Frankenstien Conquers the World)
What Happened:
At this point, Toho had tried for several years to make a film with the Frankenstein monster. After the failed idea of "Frankenstein vs. The Human Vapor", Toho went to another screenwriter who came up with a very good script. The script for this film came from Takeshi Kimura, who pondered the matchup and actually produced a 100% finished script for the film. However, the screenplay was rejected as a vehicle for Godzilla, but Toho thought it had potential and used major portions of it to create "Frankenstein Conquers the World".

Godzilla vs Hehorah 2 1972
What Happened:
Director of "Godzilla vs. Hedorah", Yoshimitsu Banno, was so happy with the Hedorah creation that he started writing a sequel even before "Godzilla vs. Hedorah" had been released to Japanese audiences! The project didn't get very far, however, for when Tomoyuki Tanaka, who had been in the hospital during the film's creation, returned, he was very unhappy with "Godzilla vs. Hedorah", even declaring that Banno that had ruined Godzilla! So although "Godzilla vs. Hedorah" was still released, Director Banno never came near a Godzilla movie again and "Godzilla vs. Hedorah II" was immediately scrapped. Banno wasn't even allowed to direct Toho films anymore and was reduced to an assistant director. Tanaka then ordered an immediate start on the next film, which would feature the return of King Ghidorah and Anguirus so that they could get back to the more traditional Godzilla films. Mr. Banno had also begun developing another film script for Godzilla even before he came up with the idea for "Godzilla vs. Hedorah II". It was going to feature yet another anti-pollution theme, in which Godzilla would battle a giant, pollution-mutated starfish, but he let it go in favor of a sequal to "Godzilla vs. Hedorah".

It's an oversimplified tinker toy. Even as a kid I wouldn't have wanted it. It's too restricted in articulation, essentially freezing it in a static pose. It looks just like the figure we saw a little while ago that everyone hated, but with teeth and a better paintjob.

Modern day toys are mostly cheep dollar store toys. I've seen Marvel toys in the stores that are a foot tall, and only have 5 points of articulation total. And one of them was just a resized 4 inch figure. And the 4 inch version had more articulation.

Toy companies lately have been cutting articulation and I honestly don't know why. Saving plastic, maybe?

Mothra vs Godzilla (1964)

I don't quite think it's the untouchable classic a lot of fans hail it as, but I can't argue with genuine quality. My only real issue is that the climax is structured a bit weirdly. I mean, just how long did the protagonists sit there on the beach while the Shobijin sang to the egg? they must have been there all night and well into the next day. :laugh: Other than that and a few miniscule nitpicks, I quite like it.

Oh, and there was one translation in the subs that may have been a bit too literal: "Please stop making strange voice." :laugh:

Just gonna post this little thing here.

This is supposedly from Jakks Pacific and it's going to be HUGE. Literally one of the largest Godzilla toys ever made. It's still a cheap, safe kids' toy though, so people should keep that in mind when criticizing its simplicity. It also gives us a good look at the design and he looks great!

Yes. The Son of Godzilla suit is larger and frumpier, with a big head and strange looking dorsal fins. Apparently this was done to make Godzilla look more like Minilla (rather than the other way around). Basically they wanted Godzilla to look kinder yet larger than Minilla. It's why Haruo Nakajima wasn't the main suit actor in that film. People go after Godzilla and Minilla in that film, and while they aren't the most aesthetically pleasing suits from the Showa era, Son of Godzilla is still one of the better Godzilla films. It's definitely the best one Jun Fukuda directed.

The 1973 suit from Megalon is leaner with more of a puppy dog face with large eyes. He got meaner by the time of Terror of Mechagodzilla, with more of a furrowed brow, but the suit is very simple with poofy silver fins.

Basically, the 1973-75 suit is the basic superhero Godzilla while the one-shot SOG suit is an odd transition between the 1965-66 and 1968-72 suits.

I don't want to interrupt your conversation, but I called the suit "Donald Duck Godzilla" the first time I saw it.

Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Monster (1964)

Good movie, but it needed a better balance between the monsters and the weird Venusian princess stuff. The rushed production kind of shows in that regard.

I think that's one of the better films in the series to balance human drama and monster action.

As for the Jaws influence, I don't know... it's a good movie but I think The Host would be more fitting, where the monster is in plain sight fairly quickly. Godzilla's a destructive giant monster, you want to see him fend of the military and fight other monsters. You can make him more believable and lifelike than ever, and obscuring that in any way almost misses the point and brings to mind GINO. Pacific Rim got it right.

I love the fight on Planet X but the final battle ends in such a weird way with Ghidorah flying off and Godzilla and Rodan nowhere in sight. The final battle in Ghidorah is really satisfying with Godzilla, Rodan and Mothra teaming up to fend of Ghidorah. The monsters are full of so much personality. I also love Godzilla and Rodan fighting to a standstill earlier in the movie and how Mothra puts them in place.

Here's a textless version of the Godzilla 2014 teaser poster...

For those of you who care:

I've recently been inspired by Bryan Cranston being cast in the new Godzilla movie, and I'm making a Breaking Bad/Godzilla crossover comic.

Spoiler
Walter White manages to fake his death and has someone else buried in his place. He leaves the country and assumes a new identity. While he's gone, the government dumps all of Walter's Blue into the ocean, where an undiscovered creature ingests all of it. This causes it to mutate into Godzilla. After Godzilla's first attack, the US government discover how Godzilla was created and find Walter. (Because they always knew he wasn't dead.) And request his help. Walter says he won't do anything unless Jesse is willing to help too. Yes, I know this sounds like bad fanfiction, and that's the point. In no way is this going to be serious. In all actuality, it'll probably be very short. But nonetheless I'm making it.

I've tried staying away from spoilers, but I've read his breath will resemble napalm. Hopefully blue, that dinky toy leaked a while back featured a blue glowing mouth...

Quote from: Ghost Rider on Jan 17, 2014, 04:53:17 AMYep, apparently to symbolize an increase in power.

While following Destoroyah with its red spiral breath, G2K is not connected and the FX team were more inspired by Gamera's fiery, explosive plasma breath in Gamera 3: Revenge of Iris.

Godzilla vs the Sea Monster (1966)

After hearing so much negativity about this one, it surprisingly wasn't that bad. I'm not really a fan of the faux-Bond plotting and music, but I can live with it. Akira Takarada was pretty badass throughout the whole thing, and the monster scenes were pretty good, too.

I think that movie gets a lot of hate because it was on MST3k. I find it to be a alright movie. It's not the worst G movie, but the love plot with Godzilla and the human girl could have been fresh out more. I know the movie was originally going to be a King Kong movie, but I wish they did some minor changes before filming.

I love Sea Monster, although I think Fukuda's best film is Son of Godzilla. The '60s island films are fun.

I also think the Charles Barkley commercial is very well made and true to Godzilla, even in its silliness. You can tell the guys behind it wanted to get everything right. The Godzilla suit is basically the '90s design with a more goofy, expressive head. The even got the beam right as brief as it goes by.

Son of Godzilla (1967)

Overall, it wasn't bad. The human characters were tolerable, the monster scenes were fine, and the giant bugs were well designed and executed. While I don't Minilla in concept and I enjoyed his personality here, his design is pretty fugly and Godzilla isn't much better.

Son of Godzilla is a nice fun family movie. A lot of G fans bash on it for being too family friendly, but I always like it. The ending with them in the snow is always great to watch.

It's... okay. The shootout scenes with the humans were alright, and the monster scenes were mostly great. That being said, the moon base sequence and the completely pointless "fire dragon" bit really drag it down. The big battle with all of the monsters against Ghidorah was badass, though.

The whole backstory didn't make a terribly great deal of sense. And saying, "It's a sequel to the original, except the rampage didn't happen" is moronic. The rampage and the result of it was the movie. It's like a reboot/sequel to Alien, except Kane never got face-hugged and the crew returned home safely.

That being said, it's no dumber than anything the series proper came up with. Just doesn't seem like a step in a good direction if they want to be taken seriously. Luckily, the movie's clearly changed -- everything says that the Mutos are man-made in the movie, for example.

All Monsters Attack (1969)

"Minilla the God!"

Well, that still sucks, even in the Japanese version. It doesn't work as a kaiju film, and whatever miniscule value it may have had as a children's film is f**ked up beyond recognition by that completely baffling ending. Overall, its basically the Godzilla equivalent of that shitty B:TAS episode where Batman spends the whole thing passed out in a random kid's basement.

Godzilla vs Hedorah (1971)

That was definitely an interesting experiment, and Hedorah is quite cool and one of Godzilla's better foes. However, the tone just didn't work for me. I had a hard time taking the death and carnage seriously when it was constantly punctuated bizarre random crap and goofy music.

That's a good way of looking at it. Still, Godzilla doesn't need to be that big. Look at the kaiju and jaegers from Pacific Rim. They were I believe 260 feet tall and still looked massive.

The Japanese Godzilla has ranged from 164 to 328 feet tall, so if 350 is correct this is the tallest he's ever been.

Ichiro finally stands up for himself and puts the head bully in his place, and part of that is honking the bike horn, something he wouldn't do earlier. He chose do it, showing he's not to be pushed around anymore. He's not this shut-in daydreaming about Monster Island anymore. He's a healthy, mischievous but perfectly harmless little kid.

People think it has this dark, offensive ending but it really doesn't. He apologizes to his dad and makes some new friends, friends who'll think twice about bullying from now on. The idea that Ichiro becomes this miniature criminal is just silly.

No. He doesn't give into anything. That would be the case if he did it earlier. At the end, he was just being a kid. It's a moment of slapstick in a kids movie. While running away Ichiro apologizes to his dad so he doesn't suddenly turn into this little sociopath. If you saw what he did earlier to the criminals you know he's a good kid. He's just finally out there doing kids stuff, and standing up for himself if he needs to. He's no longer this lonely latchkey daydreamer.

The movie does wrap up pretty quickly, but it's barely over an hour long and was made to be shown first at a children's film festival. Think what you want about the rest, but there's nothing mean-spirited about it. Perhaps a little bittersweet, but not cruel. Honda was never like that.

Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla (1974)

Well, you can chalk me up as just about the only Godzilla fan who doesn't much care for this one. If Megalon was a Jet Jaguar movie selling itself as a Godzilla movie, then this is a Godzilla movie which seems to fixate on King Caesar for some strange reason. He gets all the build up and focus during the human scenes, but ends up being almost entirely pointless when he finally makes his appearance. Meh.

I never watched Godzilla movies for a quality story. I only ever cared about how good the fights were. For the most part, I've been happy.

The fights weren't much, honestly. Godzilla only wins because he pulls a new power straight out of his ass. And there was way more plot than fights, TBH.

The Return of Godzilla (1984)

Much better than I remember it being. The characters are a bit bland, but it earns back quite a few points for being a relatively smart take on the Cold War tension and for some really great destruction scenes. The Super X was pretty cool, too, and you gotta give its crew badass points for continuing to fight Godzilla even after they ran out of the cadmium rounds. I could have done without the lame comedy bits with the homeless guy, though, and the escape from the building took longer than it really needed to.

As a kid I got and watched the vast majority of Godzilla movies out there, but these days, probably since late/end high school, the only Godzilla movie I really like to watch is the very first one. I watch 98 Godzilla now and then, I don't know why though.

I do remember one summer when we watched Godzilla Vs Space Godzilla and Godzilla vs. Destroya outside in the backyard at night when we set up the T.V and DVD player on a outdoor table while we had a fire going. Would a long time later make that same idea 10 times better by doing the exact same thing but with Aliens on my birthday 2 years ago.

Oh, and I still like the Rodan movie as well.

Can't speak for the out of focus core of Biollante, but the tendrils definitely look like they're sculpted from putty, as was Godzilla himself I'm guessing. Decent possibility of the whole diorama being home made, I reckon.

Post by: [cancerblack] on Jan 23, 2014, 07:29:23 PM
Not that much of a shocker. There's some pretty good artists out there in various fandoms, and when making a one-off you can get much better detail than something that needs to be mass-reproduced in cheap materials. Neca seems to be one of the few exeptions to this by having amazing detail on all their stuff. Of course, if you go high-end, you'll get fantastic, detailed sculpts, but you'll also pay out the arsehole.

As do I. The only thing I didn't like about it was that GOD AWFUL SCORE. After the somber, epic, dirge like orchestration of The Return of Godzilla (1985) I couldn't stand the pop/synth sound of Biollante.

It is what it is. It's endearing after awhile I guess.
Title: Re: Godzilla
Post by: OmegaZilla on Jan 24, 2014, 04:47:40 PM
I totally agree about the score. It only gets good when Biollante and Godzilla duke it out in the end.

http://www.amazon.com/Godzilla-Complete-Animated-Series/dp/B00I099JZK/ref=sr_1_1?s=movies-tv&ie=UTF8&qid=1390714337&sr=1-1&keywords=godzilla (http://www.amazon.com/Godzilla-Complete-Animated-Series/dp/B00I099JZK/ref=sr_1_1?s=movies-tv&ie=UTF8&qid=1390714337&sr=1-1&keywords=godzilla)

So we have GTS coming April 29, and three Showa films (Ebirah, Hedorah and Gigan) before the new movie May 6!

And now more IDW fun!

I think they should still give it a go , because Godzilla/Kaiju fans would reconise him tbh.

Gamera is almost just as recognizable as Godzilla, though a bit less popular. Certainly more popular and well known than Rodan.

Gamera is often thrown in with other Toho monsters like Mothra, Rodan, Ghidorah, Mecha-G, etc. As far as side monsters go, Toho is only confident when paring them alongside Godzilla, so if we ever see the names I just mentioned (other than Gamera, of course) they'll be co-starring with the Big G. Gamera is even less popular in Japan right now than Godzilla, right now it's all about Ultraman and similar heroes.

And now, enjoy this!

The 98 design sticks out like a freaking sore thumb. I believe its official nickname would also be AmeriGoji, but with the new design it wouldn't be the only one. Otherwise the pic is pretty accurate.

Showa - 50 meters
Heisei - 80, then 100
GINO - 60
G2K - 55
GXM - 55
GMK - 60
GXMG/GMMG - 55
GFW - 100
G2014 - 106?

No, I'm pretty darn confident Rodan had his very own movie before being involved with Godzilla. 1956 in fact in Rodan, Rodan wouldn't be in a Godzilla movie until 1964 in Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Monster.

Yeah, Rodan (like Mothra) started in his own film. If this Godzilla film is successful (and I see no reason for it not to be) and it lends itself to this sort of monster-filled world, I'd love to see them spin-off and create other films like Rodan. Maybe even a new monster.

I was supposed to be able to learn basic Japanese.  But dat Kanji.  I didn't think the actual speaking was that hard, it was memorizing the Kanji that was a beyatch.  Dropped it after the first month.

Godzilla vs Biollante

Well, I enjoyed that much more than I did the last time I watched it. My only real complaints are that the Biollante fights could have been better and that the military stuff could have been streamlined a bit. Oh, and the shots of Erika's face amongst the spores and the space rose at the end were silly as f**k. Gotta love that phonetic Engrish dialogue, too. Seriously, what the f**k is "kiss you, guys" supposed to mean in that context? :laugh:

Godzilla vs King Ghidorah (1991)

A few goofy elements and dodgy effects aside, I actually quite like this one. The new origin for Ghidorah is interesting, and the fights are great. The dub on the DVD is awful, though.

Yeah, but Godzilla on Monster Island is pretty obscure, and I haven't seen it called that in ages. The vs Gigan title is practically ubiquitous now. Not to mention, the former doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

To my knowledge, NECA doesn't make 24 inch figures so it was a little confusing. Jakks is still making the 31 inch figure as well so it looks like we'll have a couple of big Godzilla's out there
   
"Godzilla 12" Head To Tail Action Figure - Series 1
From one of the most anticipated movie releases this year, the relaunch of the classic Godzilla franchise. This 6" tall figure is highly detailed and fully articulated, and over 12" long from head to tail! Over 25 points of articulation and a bendable tail. This classic movie monster has never looked so good in toy form. "

Godzilla and Mothra: The Battle for Earth (1992)

It's an alright movie overall, but the middle third with the double kidnapping of the Cosmos drags it down a lot. It doesn't help that the broken family thing is a stock Roland Emmerich cliche, ironically enough. The battles were awesome, though, and Battra is a great addition to the franchise. Oh, and Godzilla's emergence from Mt. Fuji is badass.

Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla II (1993)

I really, really liked this one. The action was great, the pacing wasn't too bad, and the characters were fine. Also, they managed to hit the balance between Godzilla-like and cute for this version of a Baby Godzilla. All in all, a very good film. Oh, and it has epic music:

Agreed. But who the hell owns the rights to 85 right now? New World? Rodger Corman still? He'd never miss an opportunity to make a quick buck on the coat tails of Godzilla 2014.

I think there was a dispute over the rights between WB and Anchor Bay or something like that. I'd honestly just take the Japanese version over 85, though.

Gigan is my least favorite of the bunch but it, Sea Monster and Hedorah are far from lame. Son of Godzilla and the original Mechagodzilla need homes so hopefully they'll be picked up sometime soon, Return of Godzilla as well. I think Toho has sorted out that mess.

Those Toho Kong releases REALLY need to include the Japanese versions.

On top of all this, Godzilla: The Series will finally be receiving a complete collection. And it's only February!

Unfortunately the films will look mostly like crap on Blu-ray because Toho's "HD" masters are garbage by and large. That said, I'd still buy Son of Godzilla, Return of Godzilla, GvKG and GMK. And if Sony released the superior and far more entertaining US version of Godzilla 2000 I'd buy that too. Due to the rights nightmare with all these titles though, I don't think we'll see them.

I had one but it recently died so now it's finding another. Got a lot of the Godzilla films that are region 1.

I don't know why you'd say that. Son of Godzilla and Return of Godzilla are up for grabs (including Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla), and Sony still has all their Heisei and Millennium films. Also, when Toho lends these films out, the original and US cuts USUALLY come hand in hand (it's a different story for the Toho Kong films, Universal is just too lazy to pick up the proper materials).

Godzilla vs Destoroyah (1995)

A pretty good movie, and a good ending to the Heisei series.



Godzilla 2000 (1999)

This has to be the king of guilty pleasure Godzilla movies. The ending alone is one of the funniest things in any of the movies.

I'm really excited for another trailer but I hope they don't go into overkill mode on the marketing. I don't really want any clear shots of Godzilla before the film's release. And I know if there are any, I won't have the willpower to not look. :P

I don't think they've been accurate in past statements, but I'm totally not remembering correctly. I did some more digging on this new trailer info though, and this is what they had to say:


http://www.godzilla-movies.com/community/forums/topic/30972 (http://www.godzilla-movies.com/community/forums/topic/30972)

QuoteOkay, so following the Godzilla trailer debut date prediction made by emileeid.com, the same source has also updated readers that the date for Godzilla's next trailer debut has been shifted 7 days as a result of it "not being ready yet". They've been extremely accurate in the past and they are partnered with Warner Bros., so the information seems pretty solid. Here's the excerpt:

"Okay so I have some updates but not really any good updates, the trailer is not coming this Friday (I'm not the one who made that decision and I am not making this up, and I am not asking you to believe me) however the trailer has a neg date of Feb 14 which mean it will be ready by that time. Why this happened the previous trailer was not approved by filmmakers. I also saw an exclusive preview from the Into The Storm trailer, looks epic twister meets Cloverfield. No date set for that trailer but it was just a teaser. Another update is that the new trailer from Edge of Tomorrow is confirmed for release with 300: Rise Of An Empire. Online should be March 3. And for everyone asking me to reveal my source, it's highly unethical to do that."

"We can't wait for the fans to get their hands on the line of products that JAKKS and Warner Bros. have created that embody the experience of Godzilla, King of the Monsters."

Godzilla: Tokyo S.O.S. (2003)

Meh. It wasn't as crushingly bland as GvM or GAM, but mainly because it had a lot of action in the second and third acts. It's probably Tezuka's best Godzilla film, but that's not really saying all that much.

My main problem with S.O.S. (which I love, BTW), other than the 2D human characters, is the fact that we keep hearing "If you use Kiryu, Mothra will wreck shit up" and they use Kiryu and Mothra does not wreck shit up.

Mothra and her larvae were probably the best part of the movie. It's the best they've looked in years. Toho wanted an original Godzilla/Mothra movie, basically another Millennium style reboot, but it was Tezuka who convinced them to go with a Kiryu sequel.

Godzilla 43" Figure to Headline JAKKS' 2014 Big Figures Line

Malibu, CA – February 4, 2014 – With a nearly 60 year heritage, Godzilla and his trademark 'roar' are recognized throughout the world by fans of all ages. Leading U.S. toy and consumer products company, JAKKS Pacific, Inc. (Nasdaq: JAKK), announced its partnership, under a licensing agreement, with Warner Bros.

The line of Godzilla products by JAKKS is expected to include an Ultimate Large Scale Godzilla Figure with 12 points of articulation and a length of over 43" – one of the largest toys in Godzilla history.

"This new version of GODZILLA is an epic rebirth of the iconic Toho property that transcends the disaster movie genre. The monster himself is a symbol that has remained an indelible part of pop culture for the last 60 years," stated Emily Castel, Legendary's Chief Marketing Officer. "We can't wait for the fans to get their hands on the line of products that JAKKS and Warner Bros. have created that embody the experience of Godzilla, King of the Monsters."

"We are excited to partner with Warner Bros. Consumer Products once again to bring this world-renowned iconic figure to life in our Big Figures line. We have extensive experience in the creation and marketing of large scale figures based on powerhouse film franchises and we expect this new line of even bigger figures to make a true contribution to the Godzilla legacy," said Jack McGrath, Chief Operating Officer, JAKKS Pacific, Inc.

"As we gear up for the highly anticipated release of the epic feature Godzilla, from Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures, WBCP is thrilled to partner with JAKKS Pacific on a larger than life figurine that will truly do justice to the 'King of Monsters,'" said Karen McTier, Executive Vice President, Domestic Licensing and Worldwide Marketing, Warner Bros.

I'll have to disagree with that... it's Godzilla's big 50th anniversary movie, and it hardly feels like a Godzilla movie at all. It had the largest budget of any film in the series, and it looks terrible for the most part. Director Ryuhei Kitamura decided to focus instead on the aspects that only interested him, meaning lame music, Kung-Fu fights and rip-offs of bigger, better movies. After the movie bombed - the biggest disappointment of the series (next to GINO, I guess) - Kitamura said he largely chose the project in hopes of getting work in Hollywood. It's basically a horrific demo reel of the crap he can accomplish when given too much money and creative control.

Anyway, Matt Frank's covers for Godzilla: Rulers of Earth #s 10 & 11!

I agree with the detractors to some extent. While I enjoy the film as it is, I'll admit that it's in need of much better monster scenes. If the monster action and human action had been better balanced, the movie would be a damn near perfect piece of guilty pleasure entertainment for me.

Final Wars is entertaining as hell. As a fan who grew up watching and loving Godzilla, I loved it.

The thing is, Kong vs. Godzilla is supposed to be silly. It's a farce, the giant monster version of the salaryman-type comedies popular in 1960s Japan, something that is largely lost in the US cut of the movie, only making things seem sillier.

Final Wars on the other hand is trying to be this super-cool, hip modern Godzilla movie and it comes across as this cheap, cringe-inducing mess. It's all over the place in its ideas (mutants? aliens? keizers?) and looks way worse than it should with such a large budget in comparison to the films that came before.

QuoteAnd frankly, the complaint that it focuses on the humans too much is not a valid complaint because ALL the Godzilla movies do this

Believe it or not, a large portion of Godzilla films balance human drama and monster action fairly well, sometimes with Godzilla and his cohorts appearing to have more screen time than they actually do. Setting aside all the other problems with FW (and there are lots), in a 2 hour long movie, a movie meant to celebrate 50 years of not only Godzilla but Toho monster films in general, there's less than 40 minutes of screen for its 15 monsters, most of which haven't appeared since the Showa era.

The film was also a nightmare for the special effects crew. They had to cut corners any way they could - including increasing the size of the monsters to get the miniatures done faster. All because Kitamura wanted the excessive crap in the human scenes. It's almost as if he treated the monsters scenes as an afterthought - and it certainly shows with Godzilla knocking out monster after monster in a quick montage.

I think this quote from Norman England, who visited the sets of several Millennium Godzilla films, sums it up...

QuoteI can't tell you how many times I have given this film a chance. If the budget were 5 million, then maybe there'd be an excuse. If you think I've been harsh on it, I went out with Tomoo Haraguchi after it finished it's run and, man, you never heard a person complain about a film the way he did. The movie let down a lot of people in Japan. Even [Shinji] Higuchi. Just mention this film to him and he'll start spewing expletives. There are many talented film makers in Japan into kaiju that would have killed to make this film with the money Toho dumped into it. So why did they give it to a guy [Kitamura] who 1) publicly states he hates Japanese cinema and 2) has disdain for the genre? It was a crime what Toho did. Going to the set was painful. As I'm not Japanese, the Japanese working on it felt that they could unload their angst on me. I mean, whoever says Japanese don't complain should have been in my shoes. It got so bad I just opted to not go to a Godzilla set. WTF?

It was fairly easy instantly being whisked to http://www.godzilla-movies.com/posts/ (http://www.godzilla-movies.com/posts/) where I found the videos had been removed. But then I had to laboriously scroll down to the comments to find the links to mirrors that I knew where there. After following the links to Youtube I was fairly out of breath. I'm getting to old for this shit. You are right. f**k this. I'll save my energy for when it finally does come out so I can post my one word review of the film.

I don't know, I thought the effects were a step up compared to most Godzilla films, I noticed right away the first time I watched it. The scene where the mutants takes on Ebirah on foot, while not perfect, is damn cool (if not a tad stupid). They might not be as good as they could be, but I don't have comparison.

Some of the most favored Godzilla films have very little monster action compared to the human drama, from what I remember. Ghidrah the Three-Headed Monster, Monster Zero, Destroy All Monster, Terror of MechGodzilla. Hell, Godzilla doesn't even show up in Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah until almost halfway through. It's the build up that is so great in that film, and I feel FW is kinda the same, though not as well done. Godzilla may not be in the film as much as I'd like, but one thing FW does great is build him up as the be-all end-all badass destroyer.

What can I say, I acknowledge all this, but I still enjoy the movie. I can't really help it. Maybe those that hate it and those that love it have different expectations for what a 50th anniversary film is supposed to be. For me, it feels like a silly, wacky party where everyone is on hallucinogens and having a good time celebrating Godzilla. That's the vibe I get.

This. So much this.


In all honesty, I kinda feel that the people who dislike Final Wars (and possibly those of us who hate G98, possibly) are being a bit precious with their fandom (I mean no disrespect here, I just couldn't think of a better phrase), along the same lines as the Alien fans who lose their shit over A3 and A:R.

My dislike of GFW comes from its inconsistency. The previous films have largely been consistent in tone and concept, but GFW goes for the kitchen sink in more ways than one. It's Godzilla, so there are giant monsters destroying the world. But it's Star Wars, so you have alien spaceships that need to be destroyed. But it's X-Men, so superheroes. It doesn't quite gel.

I suppose, although as That Yellow Alien said, it's almost like a big party for all the characters and tropes of the series to get together and mingle. I have no problem with this at all, personally. Behind the scenes dramas and accusations aside, I also think it's the perfect ending to the 60's and 70's Godzilla films, and those are the ones I grew up on.

FW is more like AVPR. It's like a fan film gone mad. Chaotic self-indulgence on Kitamura's part.

Ok, you can not like FW, but comparing it to AVPR is ridiculous. AVPR is a way worse movie, and shits on the Alien way more than FW ever could on Godzilla. I honestly shook my head and laughed when I read the review on Skreeonk and the writer said the same thing.

I thought this was worth borrowing from the Toho Kingdom forums, it's from one of the site owners of Sci-Fi Japan, and gives an informative and interesting, if a bit condensed, look at Godzilla's history in America...

QuoteTriStar's GODZILLA was not a box office bomb, but it performed far below Sony's exceptions; they wanted a JURASSIC PARK level hit and that's not what they got. The movie opened big and dropped off quick at the box office, and had the added problem that it was loathed by pretty much everyone... the reactions from general audiences, Godzilla fans, film critics, theater exhibitors and licensees were overwhelming negative. Sony realized they were lucky to get what they did from the film and that there was little interest of financial motivation in doing a second one.

On the other hand, Toho made a TON of money off the deal and were disappointed when Sony abandoned plans to make GODZILLA 2 since that would have meant even more money. So I doubt that Toho was turning away studios because they didn't want a repeat of the G98 results. Much more likely, American studios weren't interested based on G98's performance and reputation... the name 'Godzilla' was not generating a lot of enthusiasm in Hollywood.

Sony had the rights from late 1992 to May 2003. Legendary and Warner Bros. signed their deal with Toho in early 2010, so that means negotiations would have been going on in 2009 (and maybe earlier). That's only a 5-6 year window when the rights may have been available, which is not long at all. And during that time, Toho had a deal with Yoshimitsu Banno allowing him to pitch his IMAX Godzilla project to American investors. So there was activity with the Godzilla rights in the years since the Sony option expired.

I've seen the Neca Godzilla 1994. It isn't as good as the SHMA, which by the way isn't recent (2011). Kinda comes off a bit cartoony with painted colors that aren't even part of the 94's color scheme, i.e. Blue and Gray.

For those who don't care about faithful movie recreations and lower price tags, this is the Godzilla figure for you.

QuoteThis should be the final update, I saw the new trailer, it's narrated by Bryan Cranston, he goes on to say that there's something not being told, and that they're hiding something etc, etc, the first couple of shots are of a half destroyed city.

Another shot shows people on the roof firing flares on presumably Godzilla, since we don't see who they actually hit. There was some shots of several aircraft falling into the ocean ... and the final shot reveals the face of Godzilla and a door closes right in front of it, they are still barely showing any footage of him even that this is the main trailer it feels like a teaser.

And it's supposed to be released on February 27 time TBC

This is cool too, close to 60 years of Godzilla themes makes for over an hour of awesome giant monster music...

This feels like my smirking revenge on the Star Wars thread where people started wanking about how good Episode 3 actually was. >:(

:laugh:

But my rage was... misplaced. I really like you Godzilla folk. Who doesn't like Godzilla fans?

But RD, Episode 3 was a masterpiece of filmmaking... ???

hmm, the roar is alright, but it stretches for a bit too long. That "Awaken the Truth" thing didn't sit well with me, either. Still hopeful for this movie, but so far it isn't lookin' like my cup o' tea.  :-\ The fans of the franchise seem to really like what they're seeing, though, so in the end that's all that matters  :)

I do really like that Empire cover, though.

Pretty certain this isn't a jet. Reminds me a lot of Rodan.

My understanding is that this is likely the same scene where we wee the three jets fall into the ocean. First the jets fall, then after the third jet it likely pans or cuts up to show this Muto, which is probably what was attacking them at that point.

Dude, wow!

Inception bwam was funny, Cvalda, then into 2001 music? I can't say I didn't enjoy that.

But that Bryan Cranston, I'm already loving his performance, and damn it looks intense.

Also agree with Nightmare that some of the cg looks a bit fast. They like to do that with giant shit in movies, like in Pacific Rim, where they speed it up faster than it would be so it's 'more exciting.' I honestly wish they would portray something massive moving at relative speed. Not only would it be realistic, but I think it would truly convey the size of that from our perspective and add to the mind-blowing horror seeing something like that rampaging through your world would cause.

Probably won't happen, but movie looks rad anyway. I'll leave my house to see this one, and that's saying something. ;D

Logging on from a temperamental laptop via sunny alligator invested Florida to comment on this.

Can't say anything that wasn't already said. Looks good. Maintains the feel of the film that they promised. Godzilla (in that last shot) his muzzle looks a little puckered/squished/thin. Love the scale of everything.

What is up with the Statue of Liberty? I thought this film was isolated to the Pacific territories?

I don't like the sixth spike on the right side of his back. It used to be so much more menacing and chitinous. It's just not Godzilla.

:laugh:

Just f**king around.

But seriously, I'm not that educated of a Zilla fan, but anyone else notice Ken Watanabe in the trailer talking about how the nuclear tests in the 50's were trying to kill it? Sup wit dat? I thought the G-man was created by those tests.

It's good practise for when you actually watch the film.......

Trailer looks ok, the cgi is probably half done, it'll be cleaned up before the release of the film.

The gubment is hiding the truth about the giant lizard, how do you miss Godzilla? Godzilla running through New York again? Malcom in the Middle dads estranged son asking military guys for exposition and because Malcom in the Middle dad is a SCIENCE guy he must leave his family to uncover the truth and do SCIENCE though nobody believes him.  This thing is gonna be 70% disaster cg, 25% Malcom in the Middle dad spazzing out and 5% Godzilla.

Yeah I guess they'll have an angle where the nuke tests, trying to kill the already huge monster, somehow made it even bigger and more monstery. That's a word, monstery.

The second shot there looks the most ehh.. Godzilla looks way too close to that island, and he's moving way too fast. I don't understand the logic behind that. Part of the awe of looking at an immense thing is the relative difference in how it moves. If it doesn't have a sense of weight, guess what, it looks like a giant fake cartoon just made big to look cool with no respect to why giant things are terrifying.

Though from the trailer, I like the way he's looked in the other shots. I don't honestly think it will be a problem, and that it's just early, unfinished cg.

Gonna pause the hype train to let out my thoughts on the trailer then I'll leave and let you all back to bliss, I swear

The trailer looked...eeeeh? The CG most of all looked noticeable and unfinished to me(Which is weird, most people I ask agree on that but no one seems to really care. Just goes to show you how much a fan bias can influence how people look at things, I guess). From what I've seen of the plot, it looks bare bones and generic. When making a monster movie, it's important to try and mix it up a bit, otherwise your movie will just turn out forgettable. From what I've seen(I could be wrong, I haven't been following the film very closely for a while- since the Godzilla Encounter, really), it just looks bare bones. Evil government creates evil monster, military goes after evil monster, there are some other evil monsters, end movie.

The biggest thing that worries me is how much this movie is riding the hype train of "HEY LOOK GODZILLA!". We have barely gotten any glimpse at the characters within the film, all I'm seeing is senseless destruction with the occasional character popping in and out to let me know they exist, akin to Michael Bay's entire filmography. Yeah, Bryan Cranston was prominent in that trailer, but as someone who hasn't followed the film- What was his name? What's his role in all this? Why does he know about this? Why is he an important character in this movie? If I recall, AvP: R did this, too. Frankly, that's probably why I'm worried the most.

Godzilla was a huge part of my childhood. I would go to Blockbuster every week to rent a new Godzilla movie, and Hell I would even rent movies I'd already seen to watch again if they didn't have any new ones. I had an entire collection of toys, and still have a ton of Vinyl figures. All things considered, I should be joining you all on the hype train, but something is seriously off with me and I can't put my finger on what. I have a feeling this movie is going to collapse under it's own hype.

I like it. I like the atmosphere it is setting up, the dry style of the photography, everything. This latest trailer actually got me excited.

The more I see the new Godzilla, the more I like it. The front view we get at the end of the trailer was quite great; it pretty much is what I would think would result in WETA redesigning Godzilla with very limited liberty. The mouth structure is very crocodile-like and organic.

The CGI is quite obviously unfinished. I don't see why anyone would think otherwise. Here's something most people don't know: most trailers of effects-heavy films (i.e. The Hobbit, Transformers, so on so forth) have unfinished effects shots, especially as of lately, because they have a specific release date and they got to use every single minute they can afford to finish the shots.

Most have no idea of how really complex it is to make visual effects. Like no f**king idea.

If these end up being final shots (which is improbable), well, this franchise has never really had such groundbreaking and realistic effects (besides the first american film), so let's give it a break for a moment -- shall we?

all they have to do is show a full shot of Godzilla taking a giant bloody chunk out of another Kaiju with a tagline that says "we aint gotta explain shit" and thats always been enough. Instead we have a whole lot of padding and explanation and viral Cloverfield junk. Why hide Godzilla and why even bother with all these cg shots that arent even going to have a Kaiju in it. There is a raisin for it.

From what I know, Pacific Rim had to deal with heavier effects (it had to create entire cities, plus a variety of animation-wise comples characters) and had to build far more sets with specific qualities.

Well isn't a huge selling point for the film to even exist some sort of apology for Emmerich Godzilla '98? To finally have a modern, faithful Godzilla creature to metaphorically rub ointment on the red asses of the pissed off masses?

It bothers me when films are hell-bent on 'fixing' something another film screwed up, from a certain point of view. AvPR cough cough puke.

But srsly, Godzilla's never been the end-all of storytelling. It's a giant monster movie ffs. I expect great effects, a semi-mature and chilling atmosphere (without excesses of Michael Bay military porn wank,) and some interesting interpretations from characters.

I honestly don't think 'disaster movie' is right for what a Godzilla movie should be. The nuclear fear and man-meddling-with-God-toys themes are more interesting to me. I mean it shouldn't try and get that deep.

The real appeal of Godzilla (bar the original) is kitschy sci-fi goofiness, and hyper-stylized, completely obvious miniatures and effects, as well as those specifically surreal Japanese creature designs.

Putting that formula through the visuallydrabsuperseriousomgsuchedge Hollywood bullshit sausage factory just turns it into another dumb, charmless, overpriced blockbuster.

The thing is that the design while being extremely faithful still has people bitching about minute details. I didn't even notice the tongue until people brought it up. I would understand if they made a drastic change like making him pink, but it's just a tongue and feet.

Well said, but do you think they could capture some of those elements in a big Hollywood film? The environment alone isn't conducive to such charm as any of the original monster films possessed.

It's like it revolves around eliminating that sort of intimacy you could have with the film, in favor of you feeling like running from the theater screaming at the oh-so-realistic depiction of end of the world, again, .. and again, and yet again.

I love how people who bitch about too much fanboy optimism turn around and bitch about how shitty it will be.

Seriously, just wait until you actually see the movie before claiming it as some half-assed cynical Hollywood cash cow. The reason fans are excited is because it doesn't feel that way. In no way does it look or feel like Transformers, and it is ridiculous to even say so. Big effects doesn't automatically mean OHMYGODTRANSFORMERSCLONELOL.

Well, I didn't cum.

However, the trailer's implied back story of the previously slain Godzilla in Japan, 1954, has me intrigued alone. The aesthetic/contrast looks good-  especially jungles scenes. I'm sure it will be formulaic (re: kaiju films) but I'm a sucker for big budget creature features. I'm not a Gojira fan-boy by any stretch, but I will see this film...probably in theaters. I might even wind up enjoying it. Don't think I'll like it more than Pacific Rim though (Aspie).

Brooding atmosphere and dread that the film was imbued with because of the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and the lingering sense of unease in Japan surrounding them. Gojira exploits those fears and anxieties at every turn, to shameless but undeniable effect.

You can't just replicate something timely and special like that by throwing a shit ton of Hollywood money at some computers and tossing in some cheap references to Fukushima.

Weren't the original film's ropey effects a result of its budget and the available production assets they had at hand at the time? If they could've made it look better, do you think they wouldn't have? I think the charm is the result of time, not intentions.

Well it kind of feels that way, with the super-serious military in almost every scene, and the Emmerich-level destruction and running/screaming.

I mean Godzilla's running, terrified crowd became a thing of movie legend. Now it's literally going to be swallowed by millions of dollars worth of special effects.

Thinking pessimistically isn't bitching without reason, it's bitching about an unshakeable Hollywood reality that continues to occur with damn near every film they make. It happens over and over, so Cvalda's definitely the one playing the odds.

Not to excuse being negative, I just think some pessimism has a lot of ground to stand on.

The thing is that the creaky effects have their own sort of strange, crude power when combined with that stark, B&W cinematography. The intention is beside the point.

Emmerich-level destruction wouldn't exist without Godzilla, so that point is moot.

It's fine if you don't like what you see or are cautious. But some claims are made with literally nothing to base them on. Read up on the background of the creation of this movie. People want to make it because Godzilla has never been done this way. Legendary isn't some huge mega corporation. They sought out an unproven director because they liked his first film and he was a kaiju fan. That's why we are excited.

This looks a lot like '98 Godzilla. Sorry, but honestly.. that's also what a lot of people will expect, I'm sure.

Average, non-Godzilla maniac = "huh, another Godzilla movie. Didn't they already make a new one?" After seeing military, people screaming, ships, jets. etc etc... Really it doesn't look that ground-breaking. Bryan Cranston and the Breaking Bad fame have a lot of weight, but still.

I'm sure if you know more about whats going on behind the scenes, script-wise and etc.. it's exciting, but you can't deny it gives off dat same ole big-hollywood big-bullshit feel. Even the best directors/productions cant escape it.

For the first time in years.


RIP GODZILLA 98' AND PACIFIC RIM

It's good practise for when you actually watch the film.......

..... You'll be breaking down alright ..,with tears of disappointment.

Trailer looks ok, the cgi is probably half done, it'll be cleaned up before the release of the film.

Even if this film turns out good, I'm going to troll you aspie, I'm going to troll you till the ends of the earth, just for all the times you were a goose in the Pacific Rim thread.

You know what I mean. Mass worldwide destruction. Giant monster fights. Atomic allegory and man versus nature. These characteristics are what make Godzilla, and G98 is not even close to that. So NO, it doesn't look like G98. Like, at all. A giant monster doesn't make for the same movie. Tone is what matters, and the tone of this is nothing like G98.

The haunting 2001 music was an excellent choice, and helped steer it a bit away from the bro-military-monster-destruction and into something more, I don't know, unpredictable or actually scary. Something almost whimsical.

I don't know where you are getting "bro-military" vibe from. I agree, Michael Bay movies have this, it is one of many reasons why they suck. I'm not seeing this at all in the trailers. The military has to be heavily involved, they always are in Godzilla movies, as they would be if this happened. All I see in the trailer is soldiers getting their asses handed to them.

Ligeti eventually came around and seems happy to have it included. What he was not happy with (and sued Kubrick for) was the altering of his music for the hotel room zoo scene.

I understand the cynicism some of you have about the trailer. We've been burned before by movies of this stature.

I'm optimistic. There hasn't been a single thing about this trailer or any other trailer that's bugged me or annoyed me in some fashion, and there's a lot in it that I genuinely love. The large-scale destruction, used not as a device to insert special effects or ramp up action but to demonstrate the stakes. The ground-floor POV. The somber tone. The high calliber actors acting. The gorgeous cinematography, designed to look 'real' instead of 'cool'.  The monster himself comes across not as a 'monster of the day' but something special... a true force to be reckoned with, something that can't be staved off, a creature that can't be bargained with in any way. There's something impersonal about it, a being that will kill you and never notice you were there. This is the first time in a long time that Godzilla has seemed massive, a mountain-sized nuclear furnace with teeth instead of something our size that looks big relative to some props.

A non sequiter: Pacific Rim was designed to be fun, to appeal to the child within us. Godzilla looks like it's designed to induce an awful terror. Two different creations with different intentions.

Anyway, Gareth Edwards made Monsters, which shows he can balance a sense of awe and wonder with terror and destruction, all while keeping the human element in the forefront. I trust him.

As for those who say this looks like G98... I don't see it. Watch this trailer again, and then, immediately, watch this.

I think it works in the trailer as well myself (though some of the visual transitions in the trailer were a bit awkward, which made the entire thing kind of jarring). Definitely not better than in 2001, though :P

I really am looking forward to this movie. I like the fact that it seems to be taking everything back to the feel of the original, and I genuinely hope that the succeed in their intentions.

If Godzilla delivers, the two will make a great modern kaiju double feature. One uses kaiju for fun; the other as serious metaphor. Both are valid interpretations.

Those G98 trailers do use similar techniques, but tonally they don't seem like the new film at all. Whereas the new film's trailers seem to focus on the destruction from a horrific, apocalyptic point of view, and the creature as a force more than just a monster, G98's trailers are a bit lighter. The music, the camera choices (that Vertigo zoom on that police officer), and the character reactions (Azaria laughing) make it seem... lighter. Less horror, more adventure. Even the brief glimpses of the monster come from a 'look how cool our monster is!' position instead of one of dread.

That last trailer you posted, not the doritos one, looks like it could be a send-up of monster movies. The moneyshots are a fisherman trying to outrun an exploding dock, and a closeup of Godzilla's eye making two guys scream unrealistically (and yet not getting up or trying to escape. I guess they're too busy watching the show.) It makes the creature seem like less of a threat and more of a spectacle, and the focus on it chasing or staring at individual people on their level also makes it seem more approachable. This monster will notice you. The newer Godzilla will not.

Those G98 trailers do use similar techniques, but tonally they don't seem like the new film at all. Whereas the new film's trailers seem to focus on the destruction from a horrific, apocalyptic point of view, and the creature as a force more than just a monster, G98's trailers are a bit lighter.

Oh yea, there is definitely a diffrent tone and ill be shocked if the new one turns into a cheese fest. I believe they will take it as serious as they can but I also think the majority of the movie will be characters and gizmos and wide shots of destruction as Godzilla leaves the plot for an hour at a time. Granted some of the Godzilla movies are like that but thy arent my favorite by far. Kinda like that whole middle part in Pacific Rim. After an hour of absolute nothing the movie started back up.

I know Rong, we've had discussions about Monsters before, damn good ones.

The things I love the most about that film are the way the monsters are handled, so it's definitely going to be interesting watching Edwards with Godzilla. I mean echoing what Aceburster said, you can only hide the monster for so long and I hope he really is the star rather than some disaster the characters are dealing with.

The good thing about doing a Godzilla film of this nature is that Godzilla doesn't need to represent himself. Of course I'd love for there to be a generous number of shots featuring the creature himself, but Godzilla isn't just Godzilla. He's also the destroyed cities, the high levels of casualties, the fleeing survivors. He cloaks himself in signifiers.

So im watching this analysis and they are pointing out that glowing tentacle thing with a missile hanging off it and bringing up the oxygen destroyer stuff and im wondering if this is going to be a riff on Godzilla vs DESTOROYAH!!!

in that movie some little critters merge with the oxygen destroyer to make the monster.

Ive read there might be smaller monsters and looks like this MUTO thing is biological tampering so im kinda wondering srs.

Also: that movie has some funny Aliens references in it haha.

Well... that new trailer wasn't really worth the wait and all the buzz.

If this movie has great non-Godzilla & non-destruction scenes and if the scenes featuring Godzilla are not overdone and very in-your-face, I think I'll enjoy this. I think some mystery goes a long way. That's not to say that a few clear shots of Godzilla wrecking things and walking around will destroy the movie but I don't think we need to see too much of him.

I just want a movie with a decent story and a solid ending. But I'm afraid it might just turn out to be a generic monster movie.

I guess time will tell.

I did like the shot when you see Godzilla as the doors (assuming on an IFV) close. It reminded me of when you're first in awe at the first sight of the beast itself in the 1954 movie.

Brooding atmosphere and dread that the film was imbued with because of the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and the lingering sense of unease in Japan surrounding them. Gojira exploits those fears and anxieties at every turn, to shameless but undeniable effect.
And yet that mood still holds up now sixty years later. It was definitely informed by its time, it's definitely a product of its time, but the movie still carries that atmosphere and weight it did when it was released because it was a well made movie. You don't achieve the longevity that film has by just leeching off the zeitgeist; those films inevitably fall by the wayside. It lives on because it doesn't matter when you watch it, it still captures that time and place.

QuoteYou can't just replicate something timely and special like that by throwing a shit ton of Hollywood money at some computers and tossing in some cheap references to Fukushima.

Because it is a legitimate time capsule of cultural anxiety. What type of anxiety does this new film reflect? Probably more than anything it's the anxiety the execs feel over the dollar bottom line for the studio.

Because it is a legitimate time capsule of cultural anxiety. What type of anxiety does this new film reflect? Probably more than anything it's the anxiety the execs feel over the dollar bottom line for the studio.

And this new film can't do the same? We've got plenty of culture anxiety going on in the world, arguably even more so nowadays. Natural disasters are becoming more frequent and intense within just the last decade. Lots of people are genuinely afraid of societal collapse; look at all the doomsday prepper shows and apocalypse based dramas. Godzilla can be just as relevant today.

But of course, you've seen the film, so you know this isn't the case and it's just another shitty movie. I forgot. Forgive me.

So I guess Honey Boo Boo reflects our culture's overall anxiety over the ingredients of spaghetti and love of child pageants? A few shitty reality shows and fringe right wing hysteria aren't going to make your Hollywood Godzilla movie relevant.

None of them actually effecting anyone involved in the production of the film. It's just a stab at phony relevancy :P When Gojira was made, it was actually made by people who had some first hand experience with the horrors they were evoking, which is why it still resonates :P

Yeah I had to look through 17 pages before finding the damn thing. I liked the new trailer a lot. Some of the visuals were impressive, i.e. your sig, the POV shot of the guys jumping out of the plane, the ships being pushed as he rises etc. Looks good! :)

I'm not expecting huge BO results, but it should do better than Pacific Rim. General audiences at least know what Godzilla is. I think general audiences just though Pacific Rim was a generic Transformers rip off. Plus it has a smaller budget.

I say $250 million in the US and $400 million around the world for a total of $650 million....that would be great for a movie with only a $160 million budget.

Good fun but dumb.

That's what most of the mainstream press said. I remember reading quite a few articles writing that Pacific Rim is to be admired for the exceptional craftsmanship behind it, while the film itself is dumb fun... That's not to say it's a bad film, but there's only so far a movie about giant robots vs monsters can go.

... and the promotional campaign was pretty lame, I was in germany at the time the movie came out and there was not one cinema poster at the time, it was all covered by MoS and Wolverine.

I think Godzilla will be better than PR, it's got that more "realistic" feeling going for it, especially the latest trailer. If Gareth Edwards fullfills his promise of giving us an actual "character-movie, which has also got Godzilla in it" (like his film monsters), it will achieve far more critical acclaim than PR. My guess is 85 % at Rotten Tomatoes. Box Office wise apart from the (really really) loyal fanbase, mainstream audiences are not that hyped yet. I think something around 500 Million in box office return including overseas is possible... I at least hope so.


Actually to be frank, I think the fact that "Heisenberg" is in this movie will actually be one of the main crowd pullers.

Godzilla 2014 is trending at #4 right now of all searches done on Yahoo.com.

I have no fear for this film's financial success.

And the trailer has over seven million views on YouTube.

Instead they are making it out to be a disaster movie featuring military guys and Malcom in the Middle dad and I guess bearasaurus rex. If it ends up being an awesome Godzilla film then general audiences are going to trash it for not being whats on the box. If it ends up being like the trailers then its going to be lame ass hell to a fan. If they split the difference then nobody will be happy.

I'm not playing devil's advocate here, but I'm surprised there aren't more people criticizing the design.

They certainly nailed the posture and I think the body looks great, but the face looks quite different.

Not that people would actually want a copy of classic Godzilla's derp face with the lazy eyes :D but I do think it's a very different take on him. You could make the snout bigger, for one, and it would be closer to the original design.

I'm actually surprised the design has been received so well. Maybe it's just the size and posture that get the most attention, since G '98 was a bloody T-Rex.

Not much more. Pacific Rim pandered to fanboys, and the fanboys gave it attention. Godzilla is doing the same thing. Hell, that's exactly why I said the trailer had me worried. I have no idea who the characters are, all I know is "oh, look. It's Godzilla". Also Bryan Cranston is in it, but f**k if I know his character's name or purpose. He could be using Godzilla's blood to make a form of meth which he calls Kaiju Blue, for all I know.

I think there would be more criticism on the face except for one fact: Godzilla's face has always been pretty varied throughout his different incarnations. It's one of the more fluid aspects of his design. While the 2014 design does lack a few features others have had (Maybe. It's hard to tell with the images we've gotten so far) it isn't too different to the point that it isn't Godzilla.

Dude, the last big (actual) Godzilla movie in the US was 85, before most of the "target audience" was even born. Its just like Transformers, Robocop and soon to be the Turtles. People hear about it, they watch their favorite internet reviewers wax about the originals but how many young trailer watchin IGN surfin people out there have some sort of interest in the original or even a developed sense of what Godzilla should look like. WE LIKE X BECAUSE X IS COOL! Its a little off to me and id rather have his face look more like Godzilla 2000s honestly but to people who really havent sat down with the movies... it doesnt matter, its a big scary lizard people are supposed to like. Bumblebee was always a Camaro right???

I know it sounds condescending to younger audiences and I dont mean it that way. They come from a different perspective and have less reason to give a damn as long as it doesnt look stupid, which is fair.

Please, let's not get into anatomically anything.
And no one is complaining about the nostrils. The snout is smaller than the standard just like the feet and people are going to point that out because that's a fact. Some people are going to like that , some wont mind, and some will.  If you dont want to discuss it, fine, but let's not act like this is board there haven't been discussion about creature looks because we all know there have been.

Everything in nuzilla's head design is so small.
His snout is super tiny and compact.

First the feet, then the tongue, now the snout.

Jesus H. Christ.  :laugh:

What are we going to critique? The makeup?

Since Godzilla's feet were revealed, people have started "critiquing" the most tiny, insignificant things instead of considering what would most likely be anatomically correct for Godzilla.

Complaining about the nostrils being too tiny is just as ridiculous as complaining about the feet or tongue.  :laugh:

Please, let's not get into anatomically anything.

Why not? Comparions can be made to real animals.

The new feet on Godzilla are more realistic in that they're stumpier. It's what you find on the behemoths known as Elephants.

The slimmer, more streamlined head is more realistic than the bulbous head of his original design, much like that of a predatory dinosaur. (I still love the original, though.)

It's just the point that people are complaining so much about little insignificant things that actually make a lot of sense when you think about them. The elephant foot and dinosaur head being my main points.

Because he's too big to exist. And if he did exist, he wouldn't be walking on two legs, etc.

None of this matters if someone doesn't like the design. Personally, I'm really, really liking it. But it's a fictional monster with a carefully chosen design, if people don't find the design appealing, a defense of "But it's realistic!" isn't going to help anything. :P

No, those feet aren't realistic. Yes, many massive animals have similar feet -- elephants, sauropods, you name it -- but they are quadrupeds. They move on all fours. Pillar-like legs make sense there.

A biped needs longer toes to keep balance (enlarges the footprint). This thing will spend a lot of time just turning around.

Not that I do actually mind it, but it's not evolutionarily consistent -- nor should it necessarily be. Godzilla is a mutation.

On two legs less space is not a good idea.

What is your definition of a predatory dinosaur because pretty much all predatory dinos had big mouths.
Cause that was usually the weapon they use to take down prey and it needed to be a deadly weapon.

I guess you can say he doesnt need a big head cause he can hadouken everything but i find it highly unlikely that he is going to be doing that all the time.

Plus, like folks have said.... this is a fake animal.
I dont like it just because i rather have a dangerous monster look like a dangerous monster. The smaller features dont really do that for me. So far this version looks more like a normal animal running around but that doesnt really inspire any sort of fear. It's more like an animal that broke out from the zoo so everyone stay inside instead of "Holy crap that is a giant horrible thing coming at us."

Hmm...Upon looking at the way the toy is positioned, it looks to me that Godzilla will get plenty of traction with his legs and feet. They aren't really all that pillar-ish when I look at them. I could see that animal moving fine if it just stepped forward with it's legs.
Title: Re: Godzilla
Post by: OmegaZilla on Feb 27, 2014, 03:29:08 PM
No one is saying it won't be able to move. But they are not 'realistic'; that's the point. One can praise the design choice for fitting overall with the chosen aesthetic, all the way.

Again, it does not have to be evolutionarily realistic; Godzilla is a mutation. And if you see a thing of that size moving around, it does not mean it's not realistic because it's too big to exist. It has a built-in solution for that.

There is literally no problem with Godzilla's tail dragging. Some Godzilla's, from what I remember, have had dragging tails. Others, his tail kinda... well, for lack of a better term, flails about behind him as he walks.

In the games, his tail didn't drag around, but it was lifted a bit into the air, more similarly to a common dinosaur's. I'm kinda expecting the 2014 Godzilla's tail to do this from what I've seen.

No we didn't, you ape. :laugh:

It was related to the posture discussion, which branched into a 'realistic Godzilla' sort of animal discussion.

It makes little difference, but to the fans who love the classic Godzilla look, his posture can be quite a big deal. It really changes the way he looks, which is partially why the '98 T-Rex Godzilla got so much hate, I think.

Honestly the dinosaur posture looks more realistic, biologically speaking, but as Omega and others have said, G-Man isn't a product of evolution. He don't need to be natural, yo. He can squat on his fat pants and mock gravity all he wants.

I think it's much, much smarter for Edwards and crew to stick with an upright Godzilla that looks like the classic. I mean his outline alone will bring up lots of memories. A T-Rex forward style outline will bring up... memories of a different nature lol.

In the trailers the tail is seen well above the ground.

Good Lord it is now like we are actually discussing how the design should or should not be. That's not the f**king point at hand. The point is, the design of the feet is not realistic, because read the last pages. No one was complaining about anything.

Yes miscommunication, my fault too. Please, for the love all that is holy, may the next post just go back to Godzilla.

We actually had a good discussion going, about feet and tails and dinosaurs and shit.

Please, or Ima cut maself a little.

Let me facilitate: tail sticking out, or tail dragging? Elephant feet, or bird feet? Which do people prefer? Sound off with opinions and whether or not you're old-school Godzilla fan or not really. I'm very curious to see what people think.

Godzilla's feet should be shaped like Jet Jaguars. Anything less is an insult to the fandom.
Title: Re: Godzilla

Elephant feet because of the dispersal of weight, and tail dragging for balance or like another foot like appendage like a kangaroo.

If Im going to leave this world im going to be admiring the beauty of it.
Im going to be like, " Wow, i cant believe such a cute lizard killed me."

Gee, those are a lot of nice examples...

Except that they're all fast-moving light animals, not lumbering behemoths. (Save for the emporer penguin, but it slides on it's belly, anyway.)  :laugh:



Gee, it seems like you forgot to post images of all this slow moving bipedal animals that stand on stalks.

On top of that, animals that are amphibian ALSO require large surfaces to be able to maneuver under water. So realistically, small feet dont have a leg to stand on, ( pun intended) on an argument discussing how close to real or not this design is.

Bless this post.

Edwards talks a bit how the face is meant to show a certain personality and even nobility, taking the obvious cues from bears, dogs, and even an eagle was mentioned. Interesting, and I like it.

Also it sounds like we're gonna get Monsters level character development (which is a very good thing) mixed with some kick-ass jaw dropping good old blockbuster scenes. All without the camp. That's my ideal dream for the film, and I hope so bad it happens.

Part of me thinks the head appearing so small is due to the rest being so freaking enormous. Maybe they thought making the head smaller would help it seem more realistic, since the body is bigger than any Godzilla in a film before.

AND UGGHHHH CLOVERFIELD FLASHBACKS.


marketing was legit doe.

The marketing for Cloverfield was amazing.

But the reveal of the terrible looking monster and the other shots featuring the creature in clear view were awful. Not to mention that the characters were annoying.

The movie was basically: Bunch of annoying people from the same party get caught up in a monster attack.

There was no mystery or depth or even genuinely terrifying moments. The smaller creatures were kind of scary though. :P

If the movie wasn't done in the found footage style and they actually gave it some decent background that linked to the viral marketing, I may have enjoyed it a lot more.

Even for found footage, it had some of the worst camera-work I have ever seen.

We've seen his silhouette, part of his face/snout and mouth in the new trailer, the top of his head, and some of his tail/back from a poster. Not even in the same shot.


He's complaining specifically about the size of the head relative to the entire body, and the feet. None of which we have seen officially.

How can we hold a discussion with him when none of us has the complete picture to agree or disagree? :P

What i said about the trailer is about what saw on the trailer, what i said about the drawing is based on what i saw on the drawing, what i said about the toys is based on what i saw on the toys. We are all discussing the little pieces we see so who is discussing the full design? This is the standard stuff we all do here, go look at the X-men thread and see people discussing the look of those designs based on what has been seen. What's the problem with the usual standard discussion that everyone has here? In that drawing of the empire mag he has a puny head and it looks funny, that's my assessment of that and that alone, chillax bros.

BTW, that design used in the Sneakers commercial is pretty good. They just need to change the eyes and make the teeth a bit bigger that and would have been a perfect design for a movie.

Grew up on the 1956 American cut on VHS, and haven't watched any Godzilla films (apart from the '98 movie a couple summers ago, along with some other big movies from my childhood) in quite a few years.

Figured with the new one coming out I might as well finally check out the original masterpiece.

Oppenheimer didn't say "Now I am become death, the destroyer of worlds". He was quoting the Bhagavad Gita.

It's not that we don't care about discussing the movie, there just isn't much worth discussing at the moment. Until we get something new, everything worth talking about has been discussed.

Quote from: Crazy Rich on Mar 01, 2014, 07:56:15 PMI have to ask. Is there any really big difference between 1954 Godzilla and the 1956 American version? Besides that the original is in Japanese and probably has a few more scenes while the American version has an American actor placed in to try and attempt to help us English folk understand more?

I can't recommend the Criterion release enough. You get both versions and they look and sound better than ever, on top of a nice collection of special features. Absolutely worth a purchase, especially before the new movie -

That's Muto splooge.

I don't know what's worse now.

I don't wanna know what happens to the guy who touched it.

And more than half of that will be because of you.

You will spend your life savings seeing this movie over and over.
You will lose all contact with your loved ones.
You will only eat the food at the theater.
When the movie has run it's course in the theaters, you will have nothing left to live for.
Your life will become a shallow existence.
Sure, you will continuously watched the Blu-Ray,
But it isn't the same.
It'll never be the same.

Hanna Barbara is Nostalgic to me. I could never really recommend it to anyone who didn't live as a child during that time period or has a deep appreciation for classic late 70's cartoons. It was pretty cheesy, silly, campy. Like much of the Toho Godzilla library.

Fun Fact: Lurch from "The Adams Family" was the voice of Godzilla.

G98 is Nostalgic to a lot of people who didn't know any better in 1998. They should know better to recommend it to anyone who didn't live as a child in 1998 or to anyone without a deep appreciation for shitty films. ;D

The HYPE leading up to 1998 was HUGE. I remember spoiling myself for the design on a tennis court where we used to run off the tennis players so we could play roller hockey. There were pictures of Big G in the Souvenir Magazine that hit right before the film came out and I had it there ... closed ... not going to look at it until after I saw the film.

I caved. And wasn't that disappointed. My hockey friends (who aren't really Godzilla fans) said "That's Godzilla? Are you sure it isn't the monster Godzilla is supposed to fight?"

Some great GREAT scenes shots. Iconic. But ... meh. What a let down.

It was bait and switch. Star Wars ... high stakes. Planets blowing up. Arms severed. Aunt and Uncle burned to a crisp. Empire ... Battle of Hoth! High octane space ship chases ... living, breathing, Yoda puppet ... Vader/Luke duel TWIST ... Cliff HANGER! Jedi ... JABBA and his cronies! Farwell Yoda ... Annnnnnd then ... Familiar Californian Red Wood Forest. Little Bears. Oh Wait ... Vader and Jedi Rematch! More little bears ... EPIC space BATTLE ... cut to little bears ...

George threw in those bears to grab little kids and sell pillow cases. Did the same thing with Jar Jar in Episode 1 while he could.

Anyway ... Godzilla thread ...

That still looks off to me, I mean in the trailer he is passing under a US aircraft carrier and he makes it look small as hell which the are around 1100 feet long and close to 200 feet wide.  Also the Destoryers that move when he starts to rise from the ocean are around 500 feet long.

I'm guessing they'll put out Godzilla 2000 (Japanese and US cuts) and GMK/Against Mechagodzilla double features at a later date.

And hopefully Section 23 picked up Son of Godzilla, Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla and Return of Godzilla.

How the heck did the rights end up all over the place? There must be a way to reconcile that for a box set release. Any studio with half a brain knows that would make a f**k-ton of money.

The franchise spans 60 years. I'm sure there is a chart somewhere that breaks it down.

All I know is that Universal owns the rights to Kong (and distribution rights to King Kong vs Godzilla through the deal which lasts forever) and Roger Corman's New World Pictures released Godzilla 1985 (84) in theaters and on home video.

There isn't even an North American release of that film on DVD. What the hell Rog?

Doubtful on any of this, unfortunately. No way would Section 23 pick up Return of Godzilla -- Echo Bridge is supposed to be looking into that. And if Sony isn't releasing GMK or Godzilla 2000 now, they probably aren't going to release them as leftovers later.

All of New World Pictures stuff after 1984 can be released by Anchor Bay Entertainment and Image Entertainment on home video. Fingers crossed.
Title: Re: Godzilla
Post by: Cvalda on Mar 05, 2014, 02:23:54 PM
It's not that simple, actually -- the rights issues are way more complicated. And Anchor Bay no longer releases genre catalog titles, those days are sadly over. Shout Factory has taken their place on that front.
Title: Re: Godzilla
Post by: Bat Chain Puller on Mar 05, 2014, 02:35:39 PM
It shouldn't be this complicated dammit!

I mean, someone somewhere can make a lot of money off a Godzilla 1985 DVD or Bluray release. This is the time! Strike while the dorsal plates are hot!

I mean it's not like flying cars or a cure of cancer. It's a bloody disc with a man in a rubber monster suit wrecking down model buildings for the love of all that's holy.

Sales for Godzilla DVDs were pretty weak, so not a lot of money :P But if the rights issues weren't so labyrinthine it probably would have been out by now.

The monster island episode, or at least one of them (I believe it was a 2 or 3 part arc) is S.C.A.L.E, which I'm about 85% sure isn't one of the unaired episodes.

I don't think they are anymore. They only put out Biollante to begin with because Miramax had it, it didn't cost anything extra like obtaining ROG would.

I'm just glad they're addressing Godzilla's origin in a little more detail than usual.
I wish they wouldn't. The original was fine -- we woke up this ancient, mythical beast and now he's pissed off because we won't stop trying to blow him up.

Guess this means the leaked synopsis from aaaages ago was on the money with the origin story. Woo :-\

And? I really don't see what's wrong with this. It's nowhere near as goofy as most of the shit the old movies pulled.

It's still goofy. Sometimes no explanation is better than a bad one. In terms of Godzilla, I always found their attempts to explain him always came up short, and was hoping this movie wouldn't bother.

Different strokes and such.

What I mostly meant was addressing the fact that there had to be more than one at some point. Besides, this is a detail will likely only come up once or twice, and Ken Watanabe will sell the shit out of it.

If it were part of the Japanese series, I wouldn't bat an eyelid. I just never see the point in doing a "serious" reboot of a series, then keeping in all the goofiness that put a lot of people off in the first place right back in.

Also getting pretty tired of big-budget spectacle movies trying to give themselves credibility by trying to come up with a scientific-sounding explanation for things that only makes the movie seem dumber than if they'd just not bothered. It's like ... it's Godzilla. I'm going to accept that there's a 300m tall monster. You don't have to explain why there's a 300m tall monster, he's f**king Godzilla, that's who he is. Just go with it.

Well it's not that bad I guess, but I always thought Godzilla's existence was in some way related to radiation, from nukes or power plants or what have you. Not that he was just hanging out during primordial radiation time and decided to go to sleep after he couldn't find any other Godzillas to kick it with.

I would be inclined to agree, except that King Ghidorah kinda needs a version that can be taken seriously. KG is almost always a glorified punching bag in the movies, except for maybe the heisei version but even that is arguable. If they give a KG that I can believe is an actual threat, I'm all for it.

Mothra on the other hand I would be okay with never seeing in a Godzilla movie ever again.

The thing is, I love both of those monsters dearly, and I just watched over a decade's worth of Toho shamelessly whoring them out at every opportunity.

Ancient prehistoric creature, awakened by recent events? Sounds more like 1954 than anything else. Remember, there were people in Gojira who were sending sacrifices to a mythical monster named Gojira before the creature first surfaces on land. So the creature did exist prior to the events of the film.

The new origin seems to be a more detailed reworking of the original 54 theory proposed by Yamane. If it reflects the finished film I'd really dig it. It's basically the origin used in the majority of the films anyway, sans Heisei.

Megalon finally comes to Blu-ray alongside a feature-less Destroy All Monsters -

I just want to say Cvalda's thoughts on ROG and Biollate are almost the reverse I've seen from other viewers. The Cold War tension and threat of nuclear war unintentionally instigated by Godzilla is an interesting concept, but the characters don't do much as does Godzilla himself... all he really does in the movie is stumble around after nuclear reactors and birds. He has no real motive like he does in the original or even GMK. As cluttered as Biollante is as a movie the characters (and there are lots of them) are more active and Godzilla's place in the story is driven not only by Biollante - sort of his dual twin sister - but the psychic girl Miki Saegusa. It's probably the most 'Godzilla ready' the JSDF has been in any of these movies. It shows a lot of promise and unfortunately the remainder of the Heisei series squanders this.

Well I do enjoy both, I just wish the remainder of the series had followed suit with that grounded techno-triller feel and original monster concepts. Apparently the first two Heisei films didn't perform as well as Toho/Tomoyuki Tanaka had hoped so the next film of course featured Ghidorah - Godzilla's archenemy - and out-there sci-fi type stuff the later Showa films are known for.

How is Mecha-King Ghidorah not in this list?

You have time travelers from the future who have come to stop Godzilla because the future is shit because of him apparently. They go back further in time to replace Ghidorah for Godzilla. Godzilla still is f**king alive and out and about, and gets even stronger and bigger thanks to submarine radiation shit. Then he kills Ghidorah. The f**king time travelers go back into the future to grab the corpse and mechanize it with Future Technology. They go back in the present to stop Godzilla once and for all, and then Godzilla f**king still wins.

The new double feature Blu-rays from Sony apparently have the original Japanese dialogue intact so that shouldn't be an issue any longer!

It feels like it is four hours long. Literally nothing happens except some goofy spy silliness at the beginning and then a looooooooooooooooooooong slog to the final battle.

Biollante is one of my favorite Godzilla films. The JSDF puts up a good fight, and Godzilla goes on a hell of a rampage. Plus it has a bit more nuance in the plot than most Godzilla films.

Biollante made me so happy when I read the back of the VHS cover, and I realized that it was a sequel to the first Godzilla movie I saw. (dat 1985.)

I'll agree that the pacing in Biollante is a bit off. There's way too much military stuff, and not nearly enough of the title monster.

Knight, how dead can someone be to someone before they revert to being undead?

I actually calculated this using highly enhanced algorithms and mainframes.

With 1 dead= .025% of giving a f**k, it would take aproximately 125 Idunnos to make a coffin. In this scale, it can be assumed that in order to revert to undead, it would take 2.5x to equal I'm a plane I can't die.


Destoroyah as a creature just did not interest me. At all. The only good things from the movie were Burning Godzilla (An idea I personally found fascinating) and Godzilla Junior. The rest was just.. eh.
Title: Re: Godzilla
Post by: Gilfryd on Mar 08, 2014, 04:16:12 AM
As far as shapeshifting enemy monsters go I prefer Hedorah.  :)

Destroyah is full of so many cool ideas that harken back to the original but go nowhere. The movie is so overwhelmingly lazy and only hangs on by the whole "Godzilla dies!" angle. Mechagodzilla honestly felt like a better end to the '90s era to me, and that movie is far from perfect as well.

Eh I'll take the monsters actually fighting over beams and sparks. The original overall has a much more energetic, fun story even if it's another alien invasion, and even that's a bit different with the prophecy stuff. Fukuda does a better job here with more resources than what Gigan/Megalon allowed.

That music was and still is one of the most memorable Godzilla themes from the Showa era it's right behind Godzilla's main theme. If you want bad music go watch Godzilla vs. The Smog Monster....yeesh.

Godzilla origins revealed. on back of toy.

Today images hit Twitter of a brand new giant-sized Godzilla toy, which carried a description of the lizard king's origin, as well as his motive for returning for the depths of the ocean.

"Possibly the last of an ancient species of giant amphibious creatures that evolved at a time when the surface of the Earth was over ten times more radioactive that it is today. Godzilla can convert his radiation stores into a violent, focused exhalation of atomic ray. Rarely seen, but spoken of in ancient Pacific Island myths, "Gojira" was last spotted in 1954, when the U.S. Navy encountered and attempted to kill him with an atomic blast in the Pacific Ocean. Since then, the giant creature has been living in the deep ocean – until a threat to his survival from an ancient foe forces him to reappear.

I'd be very pleased if this turns out to be an accurate guesstimate. Love the design/color/exoticism.

Spoiler
It's strange and relative at the same time and overall looks like something with all the intent and determination of a parasitic wasp to creep up on big G and try to deposit eggs under his scaly skin. Tell you the truth I want a Muto Money Shot- I wanna see Godzilla, in his most triumphant moment near the film's ending (mid-roar), with zit-like clusters of transparent little Mutos boring out  from his face hatching out like hundreds of praying mantis larva from their ootheca. That's money.

It's gifs like that, that remind me of HOW MUCH I wanted a modern Godzilla film that is BOTH realistic and serious in tone and presentation.

Adam West and his cartoon KA-POWS and BLAMS are the Batman equivalents of those gravity defying kaiju shenanigans. Batman and Godzilla also share well respected source material origins and enduring popularity over decades. Hell, Burtons Batman could even be seen as the Godzilla 98 of the series as it was a blockbuster that deviated from the lore much to the chagrin of devote hardcore fans.

Hopefully this new Godzilla will be THE DARK KNIGHT of Godzilla films. Love it or hate it, Nolans take was about as modern/serious/dark as you could get given it's about a millionaire vigilante that dresses up like a bat and uses fear and gadgets to thwart crime.

I don't know about that... it's more Return of Godzilla, taking its character to a more serious feel after a lighthearted take spiraled out of control.

As much as I do like the Dark Knight trilogy I think something like the Arkham games would be more appropriate for Godzilla. As a huge nonhuman entity he's certainly a more 'out there' concept to some people than any superhero, and while I do appreciate storytellers taking him seriously, that doesn't mean the movies can't also be fun. Kids should be able to enjoy Godzilla kicking ass, he was certainly my Batman growing up.

I remember making that connection when I first saw Burton's Batman in 1989. "Whoah! This is dark like Godzilla 1985! And more serious!" But the similarities were cosmetic at the most. Burton's Batman was a smash with general audiences but (unbeknownst to me at the time) many fans were pissed at the changes to character and origin, not to mention the Prince songs.

The Arkham games work a treat but they come off like your worse Sam Raimi Spider Man 3 nightmares if ever put on film. If the new Godzilla goes through the effort to be taken seriously only to relieve tension with a song and dance routine or an endless line of slapdash villains to dispatch then it undermines itself.

Pacific Rim could have been a little more serious if you ask me. It was fun. Big fun. Great for kids. They can see themselves as the robots (or pilots) over coming these big giant monsters (their fears) but with Godzilla I think they can be simultaneously terrified and entertained by the destruction by putting themselves in the role of Godzilla himself.

Well games work differently than movies. I'm just saying the Arkham games strike that balance between gritty naturalism that fits Gotham while accepting the more outlandish aspects of the comics that Nolan shied away from in his three movies.

Another example would be the War for/Fall of Cybertron games in relation to the Bay films.  Overall the aligned continuity is what I'd like to see brought to the screen, you couldn't adapt it beat for beat but the look and feel to the characters, how they updated certain aspects and streamlined details is about spot on.

I was actually scared during Pacific Rim in several moments, one being when poor Cherno is getting raped and both pilots are screaming while they watch their cockpit shatter under water before exploding.

Or when little Mako was hiding from Onibaba.

Or when dude gets ripped from the cockpit during the first five minutes.

Really enjoyed how they made it both serious and quite fantastical simultaneously. Wish more films could hit that balance. But they don't have dat Guillermo. I would go gay for that man.

Del Toro is adorable in a teddy bear kinda way.

They should make Del Toro teddybears, the kinds where you press their paw and they talk -- or in this case go on enthusiastic rants about gore and viscera.

It's gifs like that, that remind me of HOW MUCH I wanted a modern Godzilla film that is BOTH realistic and serious in tone and presentation.

Adam West and his cartoon KA-POWS and BLAMS are the Batman equivalents of those gravity defying kaiju shenanigans. Batman and Godzilla also share well respected source material origins and enduring popularity over decades. Hell, Burtons Batman could even be seen as the Godzilla 98 of the series as it was a blockbuster that deviated from the lore much to the chagrin of devote hardcore fans.

Hopefully this new Godzilla will be THE DARK KNIGHT of Godzilla films. Love it or hate it, Nolans take was about as modern/serious/dark as you could get given it's about a millionaire vigilante that dresses up like a bat and uses fear and gadgets to thwart crime.

Most G-films have been serious, chillax.

I disagree. The only serious Godzilla movies films over the 60 years that he's been around is really just:


Godzilla 1954

The Return of Godzilla (1984/85)

Godzilla: GMK

Those are the only ones I would consider being actually serious in regards to what we've seen.

I would argue that Godzilla vs Destoroyah should be on this list as well, but I'm restraining myself from doing so.

The Showa films didn't get ridiculously goofy until the 70s. The 60s film  could get silly, but, KKvG aside, they tended to play things relatively straight.

And even GMK knows its inherent premise is pretty ridiculous and works in LOTS of dark humor at its expense.

Trying to make a sodarkandadultandedgyomg Godzilla movie is just a stupid manchild thing to do. Yes, we all loved Godzilla as kids -- it is a childish concept and a childish franchise. Doesn't mean you have to try and straightjacket it into a phony guise of respectability and seriousness to be comfortable with that fact and enjoy it for its childishness.

The director of this has said he was inspired by Apocalypse Now in terms of tone and approach. LOL.

It's from his interview in Empire magazine.
http://www.godzilla-movies.com/news/1466 (http://www.godzilla-movies.com/news/1466)

QuoteIn this feature, Gareth explains how the Godzilla in the 2014 movie isn't the "2014 version" but instead, it's the "true original" from 1954, how Toho had envisioned it, only perfected with CGI and a touch of realism. He also goes on to pledge to us that Godzilla 2014 will "hark back to the big-scale entertainments of the '70s and '80s", citing Close Encounters and Apocalypse Now as his personal inspirations for the tone of Godzilla.

Trying to make a serious Godzilla film has less to do with being comfortable with the childlessness of it and more to do with a returning to it's roots and not being always perceived as B-Movie shlock.

You can paint any film in a negative light if that's what you were born to do. Movies in general are just people recording themselves playing around with toys and props and arranging the shots in a way that they tell a story.

You probably can't get a more respectable and ancient theme of human kind being small and insignificant in the over all unknowable universe that gives no f**ks about our continued existence.

It's about scale and humility. It's about the forces that inspired puny humans to dream up Gods to help them reconcile their insignificance in the universe at large. It's larger and more profound that Godzilla. Godzilla is just a name. A brand. A safe figure head to explore those ideas. Hopefully a large scale, modern Godzilla film will be a realistic, moving, relevant way to explore that again as a large movie going audience.

It's not about men in rubber suits (though it honorably has it's roots in ancient Japanese Kabuki theater.) It's not about the 60's films and their charming yet pandering agenda to children. It's not about Mothra, King Ghidorah, or f**king Rodan. (Because those names come with high $ signs and aren't as recognizable and iconic as the main attraction.) Other beasts will do fine. Everything else is fan service.

At the end of the day it's as important or insignificant as you want to say it is.

Considering the infantile nature of the Godzilla concept, it's also a really ineffective figure head.

But then again you're now entering the realm of existentialism, which is such a non-concept that you can use it to fluff up any flimsy concept you want with self-importance.

Godzilla has never been about that, though. Ever. Not even in the original. In the original Godzilla represents the nuclear bomb and the destruction it wrought on Japan. It is an exploitation film -- it is modeled specifically after images and events of then-current and still raw warfare and tragedy (Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the Lucky Dragon incident). That is why it has power. It specifically channels that, and that is why it has remained effective.

Godzilla is NOT a conduit for grand philosophical explorations of humanity's place in the cosmos. It can, on occasion, be used for something actually more relevant and interesting -- say, Kaneko's pretty daring evocation of Godzilla as a force risen to punish Japan for its right wing politics and denial of wrongdoing in WWII (which is ridiculous, but pretty damned impressive for any kind of studio blockbuster, Hollywood or not).

Considering Godzilla appears as a larger than life dinosaur and dinosaurs represent the largest semi-tangible mystery of life we as humans have ever experienced, I'd say the concept is far from infantile. Perhaps in execution (at the time) but then again they did the best with what they had.

So by exploring that side of Godzilla would be unexplored, new territory for a Godzilla film. A way for general audiences to be introduced to the concept without having to invest the time into getting to know a new figure head. Closer to the home front this modern Godzilla can still channel relevant avenues of exploitation in the recent Fukushima disaster or the mysterious Bloop phenomenon.

Godzilla is bigger than Japan now and is ready to be a conduit into grander explorations.

Not really. They were flesh and blood creatures like us, and now their descendants live on in our chicken noodle soup. They're just animals, and the reason their popularity is so enduring is not because they reveal the mysteries of the cosmos to us, but because they are cool.

Trying to explore the questions of humanity's place in the world with a giant radioactive dinosaur at the forefront is pretty laughable. Just look at the trailer, which uses Ligeti's "Requiem" from 2001: A Space Odyssey -- a film that actually does deal with the place of humanity in the face of time and space. Putting those two films next to each other and then trying to say one is as conceptually relevant as the other is delusional.

Considering Godzilla appears as a larger than life dinosaur and dinosaurs represent the largest semi-tangible mystery of life we as humans have ever experienced, I'd say the concept is far from infantile. Perhaps in execution (at the time) but then again they did the best with what they had.
Not really. They were flesh and blood creatures like us, and now their descendants live on in our chicken noodle soup. They're just animals, and the reason their popularity is so enduring is not because they reveal the mysteries of the cosmos to us, but because they are cool.

And yet man has only scratched the surface of the fossil record and will never know the full breadth of what came before, during, and after the dinosaurs. Educated guesses and sketches is all we have to console us.

So by exploring that side of Godzilla would be unexplored, new territory for a Godzilla film. A way for general audiences to be introduced to the concept without having to invest the time into getting to know a new figure head.
Trying to explore the questions of humanity's place in the world with a giant radioactive dinosaur at the forefront is pretty laughable. Just look at the trailer, which uses Ligeti's "Requiem" from 2001: A Space Odyssey -- a film that actually does deal with the place of humanity in the face of time and space. Putting those two films next to each other and then trying to say one is as conceptually relevant as the other is delusional.

I don't think so. A radioactive life form from our ancient past revived against all expectation is the perfect catalyst to show us how little we really know. Without going into space and tripling the budget that is.

The music was the first clue that we are getting something better than Godzilla vs Momodan. The filmmakers loved 2001 and all the elements that comprise it enough to use that bit of music to set the tone. Awesome in my book.

It's gifs like that, that remind me of HOW MUCH I wanted a modern Godzilla film that is BOTH realistic and serious in tone and presentation.

Adam West and his cartoon KA-POWS and BLAMS are the Batman equivalents of those gravity defying kaiju shenanigans. Batman and Godzilla also share well respected source material origins and enduring popularity over decades. Hell, Burtons Batman could even be seen as the Godzilla 98 of the series as it was a blockbuster that deviated from the lore much to the chagrin of devote hardcore fans.

Hopefully this new Godzilla will be THE DARK KNIGHT of Godzilla films. Love it or hate it, Nolans take was about as modern/serious/dark as you could get given it's about a millionaire vigilante that dresses up like a bat and uses fear and gadgets to thwart crime.

Most G-films have been serious, chillax.



I disagree. The only serious Godzilla movies films over the 60 years that he's been around is really just:


Godzilla 1954

The Return of Godzilla (1984/85)

Godzilla: GMK

Those are the only ones I would consider being actually serious in regards to what we've seen.

I would argue that Godzilla vs Destoroyah should be on this list as well, but I'm restraining myself from doing so.

People laugh at all the old sci-fi flicks because the effects and costumes look funny to them. They ignore the story and how it's being presented in which most of the time is in a serious tone. Now "serious" doesnt mean some dark gritty dramatic curtain, it means that in the movie world where this is happening this stuff is possible and people are dealing with it in what movie ways they can. So in these movie worlds maser tanks are possible so G-man get shot at by masers. The audience sees this and laughs, "HAHAHHA they pulled out laser tanks!" But in the movie world the people arent like, "YO! Let's pull out the laser tanks AHHAHAAHAHHA! i cant believe we got laser tanks, that's impossible, HAHAHAHHA!"

This is probably why Godzilla was goofy kiddy at one point, cause kids arent pointing at the screen and laughing at the men in suits. To them it Godzilla taking out his enemies and this is how it is to us older G-fans, we all know it's a man in a suit but we ignore that, like everyone should, and just see Godzilla taking out his enemies.

When people see movies they need to pay attention to the movie world, they need to pay attention to how people in the movie are reacting to the situation. For some strange reason there are group of people that dont and instead just start to point out things like the people in the movie world know they are part of a movie.

Heaven forbid it had anything to do with the fact that it's a recent nuclear disaster in a story about a nuclear-powered monster! Naw, it's all about defanging that foreign plight.

Quote from: KiramidHead on Mar 08, 2014, 08:47:33 PMThe Showa films didn't get ridiculously goofy until the 70s. The 60s film  could get silly, but, KKvG aside, they tended to play things relatively straight.

This, I've seen the same few movies brought up, but just about all the movies, even the sillier ones, are made in a fairly earnest way. Just about all the Honda films are very well made for what they are, they don't look down on anyone. After King Kong vs. Godzilla the films are meant to be enjoyed by anyone, they're the ones that let the series grow into a franchise (for better or worse). Even if the new movie has a darker tone (whatever that is) you'll definitely feel the prescence of movies like Mothra vs. Godzilla, Ghidorah, Astro-Monster, DAM, etc. in the way the plot unfolds. The general tone of those 60s entries is what I'd like to see done in a (hopefully clever and creative) big-budget Hollywood fashion.

The Mutos look like an enemy from a late-90s early-2000s FPS where they couldn't make it terribly detailed because of the low poly count so relied on it having lots of limbs sticking out to make it notable.

Bring the excitement of Legendary Pictures' Godzilla home with this deluxe "Destruction Pack". Set includes Godzilla and Muto figure, plus three (3) destructible buildings, one (1) collapsible bridge, and five (5) military vehicles.


GODZILLA 2014 MOVIE FIGHTING FIGURES
Control Godzilla with these Fighting Figures! Choose from "Tail-Strike™" Godzilla with swinging tail manipulated via a chest control, or "Smash Strike™" Godzilla, whose devastating upper body attacks are activated through an upper-tail control lever!


GODZILLA 2014 PACK OF DESTRUCTION™
Bring home the excitement of the all-new Godzilla movie! Your epic kaiju battles are sure to crumble cities and bring in the Air Force! Each pack features one (1) figure, either Godzilla or Muto, one (1) destructible building, and one (1) military aircraft. Exclusive Muto figure is only available in this assortment.


GODZILLA 2014 MOVIE FIGURE 2-PACKS
Godzilla takes on an anime look with these highly collectible chibi-style figures! Two different 2-Packs available, each includes one (1) Godzilla in a different pose and one (1) Muto.

There's also the huge JAKKS Pacific figure, which looks quite nice despite the undersized fins.

As for the MUTO creature designs, they are awfully Cloverfield-ish, but they also remind me of the uniquely Japanese Evangelion Angels. They almost fit right in with Millennium monster like Orga and Megaguirus. We'll just have to see them in action.

^ That poster looks great, but I keep seeing his head much bigger than the scale the actual images and/or some of the toys have shown us. It honestly looks much better with the bigger head, not the shrunken-head bear with massive body.

Even that, though, isn't a deal breaker. I'm just curious as to why we keep seeing different head sizes. Part of me thinks a lot of these posters are fans just making the head bigger.

Why does this thread insist on going full retard every 5 pages?


Because Vermillion insist on posting in here.


And also because the GotG thread exists.

Have you ever wanted to hear and EXPERIENCE the music of Godzilla films live in concert? If so, this is the project to be a part of.

This year marks the 60th anniversary of Godzilla. Additionally it is the centennial of the man who is known as being THE quintessential Godzilla music composer, Akira Ifukube. With the new interpretation of Godzilla hitting theaters nationwide on May 16th this year courtesy of Warner Brothers and Legendary Pictures, Godzilla's fans have a great reason to celebrate. And with the 100th birthday of Mr. Ifukube, fans can be a part of an event unlike any that has been done since a small group of fans got together and staged the first Godzilla convention ever. The time to celebrate the monster and the man is NOW.

Akira Ifukube (1914-2006) was one of Japan's most famous classical composers. His most known works, however, are his wonderful scores for Tokusatsu (special effects) films for Toho (a genre also referred to as Daikaiju Eiga in Japan). While Mr. Ifukube worked with greats like Akira Kurosawa, it is his collaborations with director Ishiro Honda which gave birth to some of the most recognizable music in cinematic history. Credited as being one of Godzilla's founding fathers, the musical scores to these inventive but often misunderstood films have become an integral part of what makes them unique. Enhanced by Mr. Ifukube's unforgettable and dynamic themes, the Godzilla series has brought wonder and awe to audiences worldwide for sixty years.

It's a text description.

And doesn't actually detail a fight, just the lead up to one. If the Muto toys hadn't been seen it might've revealed that they look like "a mosquito crossed with the Clvoerfield monster", but that's it.

Spoiler
We find Aaron Taylor-Johnson on board an airport tram. While coasting along its track, the power goes out. The train stops. The track lights go out. The power in the area goes out. Cut to: Ken Watanabe aboard an aircraft carrier. Something is approaching underwater and, high above the ocean, helicopters are tracking it with their spotlights.

It's Godzilla...  He passes beneath Watanabe's aircraft carrier and Godzilla's back fins break the surface of the water. Watanabe gauges the creature's size via binoculars as those fins effortlessly cut through the waves. The bulk of Godzilla's body displaces the water, pushing battleships out of the way. Cut to: An Oceanside party on the beach. A young girl watches the ocean recede, leaving various sea life stranded on the sand. Her astute father recognizes some manner of trouble is coming (tsunami?!) and he picks up his daughter, telling the other beach partiers to run. And they do.

A dog, tied to a post on the beach, barks at the oncoming threat: A massive wave. The dog doesn't hesitate, hauling ass and snapping its leash in the process. The camera tracks with the dog from the beach and into the adjoining city streets – a devastating wave moving in fast. The dog catches up to the screaming mass of people looking for safety and disappears into the crowd. Meanwhile, the aforementioned father and daughter seek shelter in a nearby store, closing the doors as the wave passes.

Up on the rooftops, people watch the ocean water consume the streets. It's as bad as the tsunami is depicted in The Impossible. Soldiers, who apparently have already been on standby on the roof, fire off a series of red flares which cascade through the night sky illuminating Godzilla, who is making his arrival on land. All we see is a leg. The soldiers don't hesitate...they fire, bullets doing little to penetrate Godzilla's hide. Godzilla disappears around a building and we get a glimpse of his tail.

Back at the airport...

The lights spring to life and the train resumes its journey along the tarmac until, something destroys the track! Train cars crash to the ground below, taking with it a handful of passengers. The little boy with Taylor-Johnson almost doesn't make it, but he's caught just before sliding out of the train car.

And here is when Edwards reveals Godzilla's second threat: Another kaiju! It's a multi-limbed creature with what look like wings on its back (that would explain the mystery shape we saw cutting through the clouds in the official trailer). This beast is wreaking havoc at the airport that sets off a domino-like chain of explosions which take out two airplanes waiting at their gate. From inside the airport, travelers panic, watching the mayhem through the floor-to-ceiling windows.

A giant foot comes into frame. It looks like a damn tank. But so much bigger than a tank. We're now back on the tarmac and this second creature looks up at its foe... and in an epic "hero shot," the camera cuts to Godzilla's legs and tilts up, offering us the best look at the famous monster yet. You've seen him by this point in photos and in fleeting trailer shots, but this footage finally does justice: He looks stocky. He looks like brawler, ready to throw down. And with a mighty Godzilla roar, the footage slams to black.

Godzilla fans may feel the same level of excitement but I don't think the hype is as wide spread.

That being said I believe Godzilla 2014 will be a runaway box office smash and will get the sequels it deserves. I only hope that it will sort of fast track a Pacific Rim sequel, inspire Toho to continue there films and kick-start other film makers and screenwriters, tio develop original Kaiju films in the coming years.

Not sure why Prometheus and Godzilla are even being compared. Prometheus failed because it didn't deliver what it promised. It didn't answer any of the questions about the Aliens or the Space Jockey we wanted; it merely teased us and opened more questions. Somehow I doubt Godzilla is gonna give us cinematic blue balls on the level Prometheus did. We've been promised spectacle, and it sounds like it will deliver.
Title: Re: Godzilla

^ Agreed with Bat Chain.

I also think that, um, ahem, cough, Gareth is young and talented, not old and burned out and lost in his own ideas/authority like Ridley. I don't think I could say he's a better director than Scott in my right mind, but after Prometheus, it's clear that Riddles is past his prime, at least when it comes to ensuring a quality film on all fronts.

There's more attention being paid to Godzilla, and I'm sure there's a large team of folks ensuring it meets a certain level of quality. A lot is riding on it, and I think it has all the pieces in place to succeed.

Young, talented and hungry vs. old, bloated, and self-important with no one able to question his insane ideas. :D

Agree with you there. Gareth is in his element. Riddles element seems to change every decade or so, and there is no going back. Though I am POSITIVE that if he were still afraid of actors that Prometheus would have at least had better, more believable ad-libbed dialogue.

I'm about to sit down with Monsters again right now. I remember being impressed as far as monster movies go in terms of human drama. The only thing I was disappointed with was ... well ... the lack of monsters.

I mean I did at sometime expect there would me more monsters in a film entitled "Monsters"

Just sayin'

They should have just called it "A couple monsters at the end."

What most impressed me was the world he built. And with only a couple thousand dollars. The tone and tension was awesome. The creepy stillness of a place 'a monster' had just been was very effective. The pay off just wasn't there for me.

I'm sure we'll have more monsters than we can shake a stick at 40 minutes into Godzilla.

Yeah I felt the same way, was a little disappointed at the lack of monsters, but I got to thinking once I realized what the budget was and started to appreciate the quality of the world.

I'd like more films to go in that direction of less monsters = more atmosphere and world building. Well, maybe not less monsters, but a better use of them. Really build up the tension, which used to be par for the course with movie creatures. You don't just want to throw it out there in the beginning unless circumstances are right.

Probably just reacting to the times and the lack of sincere movies.

The movie "Jaws" comes to mind. An excellent case of there being no monster for 90% of the film but you FEEL it's presence. Even on land, in Brody's living room when he's flipping through the shark book. I read somewhere that Gareth mentioned Jaws in terms of feeling the presence of the beast when not on screen. (and now that I'm thinking about it I believe the family at the center of this new Godzilla film are The Brody's  :laugh:) Nice!

Do you remember where you were and what you were doing in life when you saw it?* I had just got home from a late shift at work and saw that it was new on Netflix. I watched it, and enjoyed it, but I was hoping for cooler monster moments because of the trailer.

As long as you don't expect a monster-fest, and aren't put off by the deep character story, you will really appreciate the great film that Monsters is.

Different, for sure, but so good man. A nice dose of sincerity the entire industry needs so bad.

Today I saw the DVD for Monsters at the store and I thought: "Cool, that's from the guy who's making the new Godzilla!". It was also only 4,99 € so I bought it. Gonna watch it very soon and except for looking at the package I don't know anything about the story and I won't watch the trailer. Gonna do this totally sober and I hope it's gonna be good. :)

Horrible movie. Has nothing to do with monsters. It should have been called Walking cause that's all it was.
You know how in Clerks II Randal makes fun of how the Lord of the Rings Trilogy is basically watching people walk? Well this movie is actually like that. You watch people walk and complain to each other for a couple of hours. And the Monsters are really just part of the setting rather than having anything to do with the story.

My second look at Monsters of course was more positive (not that my first viewing was negative.) I was really impressed then with the acting and the realistic human approach to the material. Let down by the lack of Monster action, but since I knew this time going in that really wasn't what the film was about I enjoyed it much more the second go around.

Not for teenage monster fan boys looking for building crumbling creature clashes.

More of an emotional, meditative journey into human nature, life, and the little things we hold onto in the face of disaster.

I honestly think the movie-going public is more open-minded than Hollywood perceives. Most people don't analyze the hell out of the films they watch, it seems, so as long as the movie delivers on some basic levels, I think audiences would be open to a little different spin on the classic monster romp.

Perhaps one with more exploration of themes through well-developed characters. If someone could pull it off, Gareth looks like a strong contender.

Coming from a huge Pacific Rim fan, I feel that what hurt that movie the most was the overall simplicity of the story. The execution was brilliant, but the simple story and stereotypes/anime references were just too comic book for some people (even though that's how the film was advertised from the get go.)

A little less comic book and a little more Top Gun would have done that film some good.

In terms of the movie-going public I think HUGE majority of them see Godzilla as the campy Showa era creature or the ironic commercial punchline than a dark epic nuclear allegory. To these people this film should be a shocking new spin. But a return to it's roots for the rest of us.

Watched it first as a little kid, is my favourite Godzilla movie.

Here it is. Take it with a grain of salt because I was focusing on answering the questions only before the deadline, just thought at least 1 might be interested.

QuoteFor my film review I have actually decided to go back to the 50's to a black and white movie
called Godzilla: King of the Monsters. The original Japanese version was released in 1954, but
later in 1956 an Americanized version known as Godzilla: King of the Monsters was released
for Anglo audiences. For the purpose of being able to review something with more
understanding I picked the American version. The main differences between the Japanese
version and American version is that the Japanese version maintains it's much darker tone
while in the American version there is an American actor thrown in with additional scenes to,
in a way, translate to us Anglo folk what is happening in the story.

The main story is that ships near Japan begin to vanish off the face of the ocean and it soon
realized that a horrible 400 ft tall creature, resurrected from prehistoric times due to atomic
bomb testing, is responsible and progressively poses more and more of a terrible threat of
unstoppable destruction to Japan itself. Is the story believable? Well of course this is just a
fictional story and not that believable these days, even Godzilla himself is modelled after a
now obsolete belief that theropods (prehistoric animals such as Tyrannosaurus) dragged
their tails along the ground and stood more upright, but back in the 50's people would be
genuinely scared by this monster. Is it interesting? I watched this first as a little kid and today
it has still maintained my interest while all the more cheesier good guy Godzilla movies to
follow for many decades would lose my interest. It is very suspenseful, and probably
especially for someone has never seen Godzilla before, as you never see the horrible titan
for a while, just terrible flashes of light that engulf ships in flames and very strong storm in the
middle of the night that conceals the beast's brief visit to a small Japanese island, you only
see the horror on the characters faces. All these incidents puzzle the world and makes it
wonder what on earth humanity is facing.

In this story we have an American actor thrown in playing the role of a reporter represented
United World News, and he has an English speaking Japanese security officer companion who
helps translate what Japanese speaking people are saying so that the Anglo audience can
actually understand what is going on and to help verbally paint a picture for us, that's all they
are really there for. Then we have the love triangle, a woman and a scientific doctor have
been pre-destined for marriage but the woman loves another man who is a marine officer.
She tries to tell the doctor but delays when the doctor reveals to her his secret experiment
which would play a key role in the story, the doctor makes her promise to never tell anyone
of it. Later after Tokyo has been turned to ashes and rubble by Godzilla she reveals to her
lover and to the American actor that the doctor has created an Oxygen Destroyer, a weapon
that completely robs water of oxygen which results all living matter in the water
disintegrating, and a base-ball's worth of it could turn Tokyo Bay into a graveyard. The woman
and her lover confront the doctor, and while at first he is firm in saying no, fearing that his
weapon would one day fall into the wrong hands, he later agrees that the weapon should
only be used once and at the same time burns every single piece of evidence and work
relating to the weapon. Later when the woman's lover and the doctor are on the ocean floor
the doctor tells pulls twice on the woman's lover's rope and he gets pulled up and tells
him to live happily with the woman, the doctor activates the weapon and purposely cutting
his own rope, and so Godzilla is completely destroyed, along with the doctor and his
knowledge. Another significant Japanese character is the woman's father who is a
paleontologist, who helps to uncover the mystery and develops a growing admiration for
Godzilla at first, believing he should be studied and not destroyed. Overall, the acting isn't
the greatest (I might be being biased considering I wasn't around in the 50's, and I can totally
tell when a Japanese person's Japanese lines have been dubbed with English.

Techniques used, as I previously noted Godzilla isn't revealed right off the bat. The first half is
shrouded in a lot of mystery. When he first appears all you see is a bright bubbling in the
ocean followed by the sailors turning away from a bright blinding flash of light and the
roaring of the beast, followed by the view of a burning and sinking ship to dark toned music.
On the samll island all you see is his portions of his legs as he marches right through a small
village in a very stormy night and you see the horrified faces of the natives of the island. It
isn't till someway mid way through the movie that the villagers and the research run up near
a cliff side on the island and from the other side of the cliff Godzilla shows himself in broad
daylight look and roaring straight at the fleeing people until he goes back away and only
his thundering footsteps can be heard, and as the people go back to the very edge of the cliff
observe massive footprints leading back into the ocean. The music in general is pretty dark
toned, even when Godzilla is destroyed there is no bright music, only a sad requiem like tone
in the music.

The theme is that the creature known as Godzilla is meant to be an embodiment of one of
mankind's darkest achievements, the atomic bomb. Machine guns can't stop it, tanks can't stop
it, warships can't stop it, jets can't stop it, not even 300,000 volts of electricity can stop it. Like
the atomic bomb the creature uses it's atomic fire breath to unleash a blinding light of fire
that rarely leaves behind survivors and inflicts "strange" burns. In Tokyo it destroys and burns
everything in it's path, leaving behind the dead and the dying in burning ruins. The person
who brought this movie to life was a Japanese director who was influenced by the dropping
of the atomic bombs over Hiroshima and Nagasaki, on his own homeland.

Thinking of nature as a character, Godzilla is that character. It is noted that due to the
radioactivity detected in it's foot prints that this prehistoric creature had been "asleep" for
millions and millions of years until this creature was woken up and resurrected by the testing
of the atomic bombs, a human creation that inflicted disasters not only on people but
on the environment. As life is brought to this 400 ft tall beast it begins to lash out against
humanity, ships vanishing on the ocean, a village been trampled, and then an entire city
along with any military forces that stood their ground reduced to ash and rubble. The
character most affected is the doctor, the creator of the Oxygen Destroyer. After the
Destruction of Tokyo this character is forced to pick between two evils. He agrees to destroy
a greater evil, Godzilla, with something else he perceives as evil if it were to fall into the
wrong hands, the Oxygen Destroyer. He uses the weapon to destroy Godzilla, but he also
destroyed all of his work prior so that no one may copy his experiments and he sacrificed
himself at the bottom of the ocean so that his own knowledge would die with him as he
witnessed with his own eyes down in the ocean Godzilla being reduced to a skeleton and
then to nothing.

Quote from: DoomRulz on Mar 17, 2014, 12:38:04 PMn00b question: what exactly prompted Godzilla to be the force of nature he was? Was it decided that a giant monster would give the film an awe factor?

Producer Tomoyuki Tanaka wanted a giant monster movie similar to Ray Harryhausen's The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms, released the previous year. Tanaka then commissioned Shigeru Kayama to write a story featuring a prehistoric creature woken up by H-bomb tests. Director Ishiro Honda and co-writer Takeo Murata then elaborated on this in the film's screenplay, the idea being that Godzilla (as he was later known) would be the physical embodiment of nuclear war, and nothing less would be capable of destroying him.

I love the muto design. While not being all that original, it steals really cool features from other creature. Alien/Giger Head-design, feet of pan, torso and arms of cloverfield, Bat-outline, Mantis posture... I love it!

Got the Atomic Roar Godzilla and the City Destruction pack from my Toys R Us.

I really love this Godzilla design the more I see of it. It's head, in certain images and on a few of the toys, really has a bear look to it. Pretty unique from other Godzilla heads, and it will be interesting to see in the film.

Now all I need is a ps4 Godzilla game. Please happen...

King Ghidorah, Mothra, SpaceGodzilla and Destoroyah should look and sound infinitely better than the double features released in the late 90s. Sony usually goes the extra mile when it comes to audio and visual quality so all the movies should get pampered. Let's just hope they improve the subtitles as well, I can't stand "dubtitles."

QuoteI feel like if he was a human character, he'd probably be like one of the Last Samurai. Or like a Ronin. He's kind of like a noble, ancient warrior – the rest of his kind is long gone, and he's happy to just keep to himself. And reluctantly only comes up when he has to correct something that's wrong with the world.

Everything this guy says is perfect. :'(

He's right on the money with this one.

Something occurred to me. Cranston's character says, "You're not fooling anyone when you say that what happened was a natural disaster." Obviously he's speaking from his character's perspective, but knowing what we know about Godzilla, isn't that statement false?

Post by: Gilfryd on Mar 19, 2014, 04:04:56 PM
As a living creature Godzilla can't be classified as a literal natural disaster, it's more of a figurative thing. All Japanese monster have that inherent quality about them. There's an outlandish, otherworldly aspect to them that you don't often see in their American counterparts. Pacific Rim managed to capture that well, and hopefully Godzilla 2014 will too.

That being said, here's the awesome closing monologue to Godzilla 1985...
QuoteNature has a way sometimes of reminding Man of just how small he is. She occasionally throws up terrible offspring's of our pride and carelessness to remind us of how puny we really are in the face of a tornado, an earthquake, or a Godzilla. The reckless ambitions of Man are often dwarfed by their dangerous consequences. For now, Godzilla - that strangely innocent and tragic monster - has gone to earth. Whether he returns or not, or is never again seen by human eyes, the things he has taught us remain...

Where is a good, reputable place to buy movie posters?

I'm looking for that extra thick paper. Not than thin stuff that's a step above wrapping paper. Going to probably start collecting some starting with these, and work my way back for the classics.

I doubt very much that the final atomic breath will look anything like that. It's rather likely that they haven't even finished working on it, since they're still in the middle of post production. Edwards has made no secret that many visuals of the film are still unfinished.

I think the final breath will look far more "flamey", more like the toy. Besides they "ray" version of the game is far easier on the graphics for the mobile device, that might also be the reason why they went more sterile on that one.

I can never tell if people like Gordon because he's a character played by a former professional wrestler with dumb one liners or if they seriously think he's an intentionally cool, well rounded character, because I can list 10 human characters in the series' history that serve their purposes better. And none of them are in Final Wars.

Io9 seen some more footage, leaked script sounding more legit

Spoiler
Edwards then showed a bit of footage from the finished film. Some we have seen before — but the big reveal in this clip collection was all about the character Bryan Cranston plays. In a previous trailer, we saw Cranston losing his mind and screaming, " "You are not fooling anybody when you say that what happened was a natural disaster. You're LYING. It was not an earthquake. It wasn't a typhoon...."" But why was he saying this? Well, now we know. Spoilers ahead.

Turns out Joe Brody (Cranston's character) works with his wife (played by Juliette Binoche) in a Nuclear Power Plant. In the footage we saw, it's revealed that something happens — a massive earthquake-like disaster, that causes the plant to melt down. Cranston flips out, and runs to the door that locks, trapping the people inside the plant. Of course his wife is trapped in this plant. He's standing at the door screaming when a cloud of pink smoke starts rolling down the hall. He screams and closes the door. Minutes later, Juliette Binoche appears. Cranston is heartbroken. He flips out in front of his (presumably) slowly dying wife. We assume she doesn't make it.

Cut to Cranston talking with Aaron Taylor-Johnson (who plays Ford Brody). He tells Aaron that he did all he could to help save her? Is Cranston talking about their mother? Are these two father and son? You can also tell that Cranston has been quarantined behind a glass wall. This is his warning to his presumed son.

And we move on to the character Elizabeth Olsen, who plays Elle Brody. Clearly this family is husband and wife, and son and wife. Olsen is in scrubs on the street looking up into the sky as the world crashes down around her. She's holding a baby. Cut to Aaron Taylor-Johnson sitting in an airplane as one of the first responder paratroopers who literally jump onto Godzilla as the Kaiju emerges from the ocean. He's holding a picture of his wife and child (Olsen and the baby). Cranston's voiceover rages, warning his son that the government has been lying to him. But it looks like he's about to find out for himself soon enough (with the death defying jump).

So it looks as though we're going to see this entire monster movie through the eyes of the Brody family. Good thing that they all just so happen to have jobs that are all directly related to a Kaiju attack. So there will be no lack of action while we're hashing out Brody drama. Can't wait to see more.

Lulz, the new Ninja Turtles trailers shows that Shredder, April and her pops are linked to the creation of the turtles. These Hollywood writers dont want to spend more than a minute connecting characters to the story.

Cool. It's hard to articulate the joy of seeing Godzilla figures in stores.

I couldn't resist the chibis. And of course the very gigantic JAKKS figure. (both of which I ordered online as I haven't seen them in stores and I had to stop going in there and worrying the staff.)  :laugh:

Sometime after the movie. In spring I think.

Here's an interview with Ishiro Honda conducted in 1992 (the year of Godzilla vs. Mothra) -
http://www.davmil.org/www.kaijuconversations.com/honda.htm (http://www.davmil.org/www.kaijuconversations.com/honda.htm)

And for fun, here's a checklist of all his genre films, with his entries in the Godzilla series bolded -
Godzilla (1954)
Half Human (1955)
Rodan (1956)
The Mysterians (1957)
The H-Man (1958)
Varan (1958)
Battle in Outer Space (1959)
The Human Vapor (1960)
Mothra (1961)
Gorath (1962)
King Kong vs. Godzilla (1962)
Matango (1963)
Atragon (1963)
Mothra vs. Godzilla (1964)
Dogora (1964)
Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Monster (1964)
Frankenstein vs. Baragon (1965)
Invasion of Astro-Monster (1965)
War of the Gargantuas (1966)
King Kong Escapes (1967)
Destroy All Monsters (1968)
Latitude Zero (1969)
All Monsters Attack (1969)
Space Amoeba (1970)
Terror of Mechagodzilla (1975)

I've yet to see Human Vapor or Gorath simply because they haven't been released on DVD in North America yet, although both I believe are still in the possession of MGM (along with Shue Matsubayashi's The Last War [1961]). Half Human is under a self-imposed ban by Toho so that'll probably never receive an official release anywhere (along with Toshio Masuda's Prophecies of Nostradamus [1974]).

Title: Re: Godzilla
Post by: Requiem28 on Mar 31, 2014, 03:35:09 PM
They used to go for $85.  I don't know why they are over $100 now, since they haven't really been bumping up the quality of them - like Hot Toys always seem to.  Don't get me wrong, NECA is excellent for their quality and low pricing, but I think they only jack up the pricing when their license becomes more popular, or if it includes lighting and/or electronics.

We collect stuff because

1) we like the idea of having something others don't.
2) In a few years the items might be worth more so it's a long term investment thing.
3) Nostalgia. We like the feeling it gives us. Like opening gifts as a child.
4) Some will still play with the figures like they did as children.
5) We're afraid of having nothing.

I collect also because I use the figures as reference for artwork.  I mainly collect detailed or film-accurate figures/statues for this reason, and because it's cool to have your own miniature version of something that you not only like, but everyone else can also recognize and (hopefully) say "cool!"

12 and 24 inches have been thrown around for the NECA 2014 figures but that's going by length. 6 and 12 inches are how tall they're going to be. As for prices, the smaller one will be around $20 and the big one will be close to $50.

Anyway, here's a nice little article one of the more underrated 'fathers' of Godzilla -

Lulz, the new Ninja Turtles trailers shows that Shredder, April and her pops are linked to the creation of the turtles. These Hollywood writers dont want to spend more than a minute connecting characters to the story.


What.. does that.. have to do with Godzilla?

These Hollywood writers dont want to spend more than a minute connecting characters to the story.

Speaking about Hollywood Writers in generalities that way is pretty unfair. Especially considering that they were talking about the writers for the new TMNT movie.

TMNT was just an example.
This is happening more and more now, LOOOOOKKK!!! (http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/the-big-picture/8978-Destined-for-Disappointment-Part-1)

One or two new shots, including a face shot of Godzilla (In the dark and I can't find an image of it yet) and a 'better' look at one of the Mutos.

Last shot of Godzilla reminded me of Godzilla 2000. I love it.

Wtf, so the mutos must have mini-bastards that come from them or something? That sure as hell looks nothing like the bat/Cloverfield thing. Looks more like a strange version of Anguirus to me.

I think it's either next to a building's rooftop or some other raised platform. Kinda like the military or some other faction is attempting to keep it tied down.

But yeah, it looks like the toys weren't great at showing what the designs actually looked like all that much.

There probably is, after people who saw the comic con footage said that Godzilla's foot, dwarfs the mutos.

Finally a better look at that Godzilla roar! Rathalos was right, has a very Godzilla 2000 feel or look to it.

Also Godzilla's spines/scales look larger than usual in that image. WOnderr if they were actually made larger or if Godzilla is just hunched forward so his back is a bit more horizontal in that shot?

QuoteThere are really only a handful of 20th Century film scores that can be assessed as historically and aesthetically significant. In America the scores by Max Steiner (King Kong) and Franz Waxman (Bride of Frankenstein) were maverick works that defined the artform as more than simply background music. Bernard Herrmann's Citizen Kane, less than ten years later, was stylistically important as it was rooted strongly in Americana and broke free from the Late Romantic sound Hollywood was steeped in at the time. In Russia, Prokofiev's Alexander Nevsky holds up even better today and represents the perfect marriage between image and sound.

In 1954, Akira Ifukube recorded his score for Japan's first Godzilla film. In assessing the value of that score, one has to divorce themselves from the primitive visual effects and campy sequels that would follow over the course of the Century. The intent of the original film was that it be a symbolic warning against "the bomb." Not even a decade had passed since the country was set on fire. Ifukube's score was every bit as groundbreaking and engaging as Alexander Nevsky, if not more creative. The thumping strings, bombastic marches, dark colors and evocative finale are comparable to Herrmann's and Prokofiev's best works. When the film makers were challenged to come up with a roar for the monster, the solution was found in the orchestra. A rubber glove smeared with violin rosin was rubbed down the strings of a double bass to create Godzilla's familiar rumbling and harmonic roar. His echoing footsteps? A bass drum.

Few films relegate music to such an important role as to define not only tone but character in such a way as to create a cultural phenomena. Though the films may stand up today as silly even, especially the sequels, everybody recognizes Godzilla's roar. Yet, aside from concert suites and Ifukube's own Symphonic variations, this original score only exists as a primitive recording.

Do this great score justice and re-record it. What time has depreciated and hidden from us should be once again revealed and appreciated.

Since the nukes were supposedly supposed to destroy Godzilla fifty years ago in this film, I'm assuming that this isn't his first attack (just his first attack hopped up on all that nuke juice). Maybe he has a small scale attack on Japan first fifty years ago?

That can't be his foot since it's a completely different shape and the movement can't possibly correspond with what we know his foot actually looks like, sooooooo......is he rising up out of the ground/water, or is he falling down?

Godziilla 1998 CGI still seems more naturalistic to me.

True, a good film's a good film regardless of location.

But saying "2 out of... what, over 50 Godzilla films weren't in Japan, doesn't matter" is flat retarded. It's a reboot movie, most likely an origin-style story as well. Godzilla is from Japan. Shouldn't require an explanation.

Plus, I'm just sick of seeing American landmarks all destroyed and American cities wiped out and being expected to feel something. The scene with the Statue of Liberty just made me yawn. They've overdone it to hell, and it's lost the effect, and why do they need to do it with a property that was created in and belongs in Japan?

No good reason besides 'MURICA. Could have same actors, same plot, same military shit, and still be in Japan, and it would only make it more authentic.

Americans are just more important than the rest of the world, apparently, so we're excpected to give a shit when our cities get threatened with destruction over and over and over. Plus the whole bomb metaphor is more than lost, unless they change it to have some cultural meaning. My two cents on the matter.

I think Godzilla should stick to the Pacific Ocean area. I feel like that's his territory and they should stick with it.

I do think San Francisco was a bad choice of setting for this one though. If they wanted it to be in America, fine. They have the entire West Coast to choose from, full of cities that have been seen less in movies than San Francisco.

Seattle for example would have been a fine choice. Would also be interesting to see some Godzilla action in, say, Australia or maybe South America.

However, the movie being in America or San Francisco is hardly going to keep me from seeing the movie, and is pretty much at the bottom of the list as far as things that concern me go.

The rights to Godzilla will never again be given to an American company. Toho indefinitely suspends everything Godzilla, with no plans to ever make anything Godzilla ever again. As you sit in the theater, Aspie, a tear rolling down your cheek, you sit back and wonder, "What evil could have possibly done this?"

Rather slim looking compared to what we've been treated to so far. Who knows what's going on. It recalls the Peter Jackson version of King Kong which showed Kong as a dark black, heavily scarred, snagged toothed beast in some of the early promotional materials.

I'm too in love with the shot either. Looks like a brazen 'money shot' for fans. I like him more in the shadows and not fully seen.

The Thanator was entirely designed by Jim Cameron. But yes, the creatures from King Kong, Smaug, the Fell Beasts... even the Balrog has some in it, in the structure of the jaw muscles.

Weird complaint, you can't just tease the audience the entire time, you have to have money shots.

It's been rated: http://www.godzillamovie.com/ (http://www.godzillamovie.com/)

^ This.

And I'm still laughing at people who bitch about all the American disaster films, then are totally cool with this new, 'faithful' Godzilla reboot being turned in to another American disaster film.

Prepare for landmarks every ten minutes, because America is way cooler than Japan. Already got the Statue of Liberty and Golden Gate bridge, so he's on both coasts now? Don't worry America, because America. :P It honestly just makes it feel cheap.

Hard to  believe I'm alone here and not surrounded by hardcore Godzilla fans in agreement. I'm not even a huge fan and it's coming across as Roland Emmerich-level gimmicky and unnecessary.

Does anyone with more knowledge of the script know if it's going to have more international locations? From the trailers, looks like G just shows up and stomps all over America for two hours. I would find that extraordinarily lame, and you all should too. I hope I'm wrong, because I don't want this otherwise excellent looking film turning into Independence Day with Godzilla.
Title: Re: Godzilla
Post by: King Rathalos on Apr 03, 2014, 06:50:05 PM

It's clear by now that it seems the movie goes from Japan, to Hawaii, to San Fran and eventually somewhere in the middle US if the way the attacks have been show are anything to go by.

I know very little about the script, and it's probably just how it's being marketed, but I'm sticking by my unpopular opinion that I hope Japan at least has a bit of screentime.

Doesn't feel right having Godzilla without Japan, especially considering the recent disasters they've dealt with and how the nuclear analogy still disturbingly applies to this day, even without the bomb. I just think that's too important to ignore because you're an American film production. Disrespectful, almost. Godzilla is like the Arnold Schwarzenegger of Japan, lol.

Amusement park? Well, I guess that's one way of saying LAS VEGAS, NEVADA!

I know Las Vegas has one in an amusement park, but Toho Kingdom led me to believe there was also one in San Francisco near the coast.

I guess it could be either one, if a San Francisco one even exists.

There's probably some physics or something involved like force of mass equals quantum movement or some shit and the missles hit hard enough to push him back even if they don't hurt him much.

So you're saying that an animal which is under attack (even if that attack lacks the power to do more than irritate it), is more likely to walk through the storm like a badass than it is to snap at/recoil from the source of irritation? I thought we were Gritty Realism now?

Shadow you're cracking me up. :laugh:

Glad all my fuss about Statue of Liberty does not apply. In my mind, I saw Godzilla making the U.S. national tour and wrecking every major possible set piece/tourist attraction. New York = stepped on it, White House = stepped on, Epcot Center, Rushmore, Space Needle? Stepped on stepped on stepped on!

And there is some smoke from a previous attack in that gif. Apparently even Godzilla cowers before the mighty AIM-9 Sidewinder missile! Or it could've been a JDAM, or any variant of air-to-ground missile really... but even classic Godzilla made hilarious waving and spazzing motions when he was hit by larger weapons, right?

I was thinking he looked a little smaller in that gif, but he's a ways away from the bridge. I like his size.

TIL that the San Francisco Bay is on average around swimming pool depth, 12 to 15 feet. The deepest parts are by the bridge and out into the Pacific, which get up to 300+ feet in certain channels.

The way he's moving his head with him roaring indicates some sort of pain, at least to me. I don't buy that the missiles are that strong to push him back at all. He don't even look like he's bracing for impact. I honestly see The Big G looking like those missiles are hurting, and he's backing up because of it.

That don't look like no shoulder-brush-off to me. If he indeed was turning away like it was nothing, I don't think he'd be reacting as frantically as he is here. He'd be turning away while not even noticing those missiles hitting him at all.

I can gladly derail this convo with another awful spiral into the constipated land of realism. :laugh:

In RL, all of this shit, Pac Rim and everything with a jet or helicopter flying right next to the giant monster, is bull. Most aircraft can hit a target from so far away you can't even see them. They would never even get within a mile of that hoe.

Those are Michael Bay GI Joe dreams. Bad ones.

They would probably start by launching a few days worth of ordinance at Godzilla, or any giant monster. After about $400 billion worth of cruise missiles, they would probably try every delivery and weapon system known to man up to the nuclear option.

A direct-fire engagement would be an absolute last resort, or to protect civilians and property. I would kind of love to see a film where the full spectrum of actual military tactics were used against the monster, to no avail. Seeing a bunch of artillery and MLRS batteries lighting something up could be jaw-dropping. Would give those Desert Storm feels, for those of you old enough to remember.

Well you say to protect civilians and property. In a special case like this I'm assuming they would try to draw out Big G as much as possible. Maybe there's special orders due to the circumstances. Give him big shiny copters for him to lock on.

From what you're saying, at least in the missle scene it makes sense without a doubt. There's kids in the bus scared shitless lol TryinvBulletin to protect civilians.

UNLESS ... Godzilla emits some sort of radioactive EMP like phenomenon that knocks out all electronics. If the government locks down all travel and everyone within the quarantine zone either dies in the rampage or radiation poisoning.

I thought he was being sarcastic as well. Godzilla also got knocked out by the cadmium missiles in Godzilla 1985 till the nuke revived him.

Special weaponry made specifically to battle G-man is different than standard stuff and is shown to work for a bit. The Cadmium missiles were shot into his mouth to slow down whatever natural nuclear stuff G-man has going on. Let's not ignore the fact that before that happened all the jets and a mazer tanks attacking did squat to him. He was just walking by like nothing was happening.

If these are some sort of anti-godzilla missiles then it's ok but if not..... it's kind of troubling. Since, you know, they tried to kill him with a nuke and that didnt work, but normal missiles can bother him?

Rewatching that trailer I just came to the realization that they're not just firing at a Muto and it's raising it's claws to attack the chopper. Those "claws" are actually Godzilla's back plates coming into frame!

I think that was just an early design of the MUTO. Obviously judging from the toys seen, they decided to go a different route.

Don't forget, that trailer was shown when none of the creature FX were in production, I mean even the real shooting had not yet begun.

I don't mean any one depiction, I understand it was a marvel back in the 50's but today I think it looks incredibly dated and simplistic. I just think for all the things you could do with a giant monster it's very "meh" especially with proportions being so wonky.

I think that's why in the trailers they've been putting emphasis on the spine, because it's the most interesting element visually along with the head.

I just hope the director shoots it well to show off the good elements and shys away from it looking like a big bumbling dinosaur whom's legs are far too big from what I can tell.

I agree that it looks simplistic. But that's the charm I think. No need to get all complicated with the design. That's for other Kaiju films with different tones.

Godzilla (to me) has never been about the design. It is a huge plus if he appears 'very cool looking' but what's more important is the tone of the film that surrounds him. And since 1954 only 1984 has tried to be a serious 'what if' scenario that didn't involve mad scientists, wonky space aliens, or pandering children cliches.

A case can be made for Godzilla vs Destroyah and GMK but even those films had a fun sense of sci-fi wonder that makes it a little cartoonish.

But that's exactly what I mean, I wouldn't want them to change the design because it's such a pop culture icon.

Even though I do believe it could be improved with a little intricacy.
I just hope the Director makes it believable enough that the fact that it's a pop culture icon is a positive rather than a negative that drags it down because they are limited by it.

I just hope the Director makes it believable enough that the fact that it's a pop culture icon is a positive rather than a negative that drags it down because they are limited by it.

Well, we'll see.

I've never liked a Godzilla film before.

As a die hard Godzilla fan and a level-headed logical human being I completely understand why. They aren't for everyone, that is for sure. But I certainly hope this new film will reach people who have been waiting to see a serious Godzilla film that isn't mired by dated special effects techniques, and or silly alien subplots and johnny come lately ultraman wannabes.

Anyone else is going to enjoy if for what it is or because of a heavy does of nostalgia.

I have high hopes for this film within the realm of 'a Godzilla movie.' It will aspire to be a more accessible version of the original to which I believe is not an unreachable goal. 

It's the directors take on 'Destroy All Monsters' that I'm really wondering about. How could he take the crazy batshit insane set ups of that film and translate them into something that will work with this film. In other words ... a serious reality based version of 'monster island' and 'alien invasions.'

We'll see, I really like what I've seen so far.

I have a DVD of Pacific Rim here, I ordered a Blu-Ray but they sent a DVD FFS.
So even though I'm really prepared to give the monster-genre a shot. It hasn't been kind to me so far. :laugh:

Post by: Bat Chain Puller on Apr 05, 2014, 05:30:27 PM
Pacific Rim Bluray is a treat. All the little details really pop in 1080p.

Pacific Rim is a good example of a Kaiju film that doesn't take it's self too seriously while not descending into a campy, self parody cheese fest.  It's big, loud, fun. It expects the same suspension of disbelief that goes into watching a Showa era Kaiju film.

Godzilla 2014 should be on the same level of spectacle but grounded in a more plausible reality with actors acting accordingly. Not shouting "Guess who's back you one eyed bitch!"  :laugh:

Honestly I think Godzilla (On the whole) just looks retarded, I hope their depiction can change my mind on this.

Same here man, altough I wouldn't say I find his looks retarded, but he definitely needs an update. The suit version is obviously hopelessly outdated. The 1st movie is amazing for its time. And as a Kid Godzilla vs Biollante made me buy all kinds of toys and comics around Big G. Generally I still think the Heisei Suit is the best looking, when its lit properly it looks pretty timeless. But as a grown up, I kinda see how idiotic he looks in many ways. The legs have always troubled me and you can only watch an upright standing dinosaur dragging his tail so many times without a laughter in your head.

But this 2014 CGI version of Godzilla looks friggin' awesome from what I've seen in the trailers and posters. Totally pumped for this. Especially in the latest "Courage" TV spot there's this shot of him looking out from a wall of smoke, he looks killer!

Thanks!

Even though I missed a majorty of them, (the prices sky rocket since they are limited runs) it's nice to know such detailed figures of the beasts I grew up with are out there.  Growing up I had to pretend that these were Mecha Godzilla (sans head) Gigan, Godzilla (of course) Megalon, Hedorah, Varan, a blue King Ceaser, and Titanosaurus.

If you look closely at the centre-left of the glass, it looks like there's a reflection of Predator 2's predator. You've got to admit, Godzilla's head would make a mighty fine trophy.

Well, i was very almost right. It's Stars of the Lid (I often just lump Startle the Heavens and Stars of the lid together).

Just had a listen through my music library and I'm pretty sure it's the track 'Don't Bother They're Here' from about 4 minutes in.

Not sure if it's still in the current movie though.

Everything looks good except the head being too small, but it looks like that has been fixed in the movie clips that we've seen

When I was smaller that's actually what I assumed he did. I always figured if Godzilla happened to go from Japan to San Francisco and according to the yelling scientists it took two days, it was because he took a long walk, as opposed to because plot said so.

Because the article confirmed the movie to be part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It's the first in phase 3, despite releasing alongside phase 2 movies.

I would actually love a movie or cartoon based on the Marvel Godzilla comics.  :laugh: They did a surprisingly good job of capturing all the elements of 70s kaiju movies in that series, not to mention that fact they were fun. I wish comics and their film adaptations these days would abandon some of the melodrama and just have fun.

And in total seriousness, Marvel needs to get on getting their own kaiju and giant robots into the MCU. I'm looking at you, Red Ronin.

Diamond Distributors have announce wave 5 of their North American X-Plus re-issues and they are the following!

These things are EASILY going for over $400 a piece in the aftermarket. Now, anyone that is so inclined can get them at less than half that price and without the crazy ass shipping from Japan.

It's not going to make any money.

Civilization is going to end as we know it before it's released. Some intrepid survivors who remember the trailers will search for and find copies of the film in what is left of Hollywood. They will construct a rudimentary playback device that shows the picture but fails to reproduce the sound so they will be forced to act out the voices and sound effects during showings.
Title: Re: Godzilla

pls I'm probably going to see it once in IMAX 3D and once in a normal theater in the same day.


That's like $12 right there.

Hard to say. Back when it came out I don't remember them having a stance. In the years since I've read a lot of reports of individual Toho employees expressing displeasure with the film. Original Suit actors walking out of the theater back when it premiered in Japan ... and shit like that.

Just kidding. It was shit. All that product placement.

At one point Godzilla opens a giant can of Coca-Cola only to find that it's empty. (It was attached to a billboard). Then he rages and flattens someone in a Pepsi t-shirt. Someone in Nike shoes manages to outrun Godzilla's foot coming down, while someone is recording this on their iPhone.

I was about to walk out during the scene where Godzilla's fire breath shot out copies of the Blu-ray and the characters started throwing money back at the big guy.

At least the party we all went to after was pretty cool. Non-Aspie AVPG parties for life.

Post by: RazorSlash on Apr 13, 2014, 10:19:16 PM
Aspie what at all does that have to do with anything.

I'm pointing out that I've seen people nitpick a lot of movies, on this site and others, and it's fine because a lot of people dislike what they see of that movie as well. Whether it be GotG, Pacific Rim, Iron Man 3, Amazing Spider-Man 2, The Avengers, Man of Steel, the Transformers films, TMNT...It's fine to nitpick those movies because there is a large amount of people who dislike them. People don't care if you nitpick them. Then you have this movie, where nitpicking is treated as...well, nitpicking. It's dismissed because everyone is looking forward to it, and someone with a nitpick is shot down. It's like this everywhere on the internet, including this site. I'm pointing that out. He doesn't like a design choice for the creature. It's a legitimate complaint.

Complaining about a legitimate design choice isn't a nitpick. A nitpick would be saying his scales aren't shiny enough. From what I've gathered, he said Godzilla's mouth looks weird. That's his opinion. It's like the feet all over again. Disliking what his feet looked like was a legitimate complaint, but because this movie is highly anticipated, fans just ain't havin' that shit.

We would probably have to change common shipping paths to stay out of or minimize time spent in Godzilla's territory. Depending on the version, Godzilla doesn't always attack on sight, so ships passing through the pacific wouldn't always be in danger.

I believe Godzilla vs Biollante had that as a side plot near the beginning of the movie, where some mercenaries or something were trying to get some of Godzilla's skin or scales or something after the 1985 movie's events.


There was also a scenario in the Marc Cerasini books where a group of whalers were hired to get some of Godzilla's blood.

I don't remember it ending well.

Long story short yeah it's worth a lot but getting it probably isn't worth the risk.

In Biollante there were roughly three factions shooting people over his skin samples, so they must be pretty valuable.

Quote from: Erik Lehnsherr on Apr 13, 2014, 11:06:35 PMWho cares? It's an outdated design anyway, giving it more intricacy is good IMO.

Outdated wouldn't be the word. He's like any longstanding character like Superman or Batman. Those recognizable designs work precisely because they very malleable and up for reinvention. As for Godzilla, the more we find out about the real life creatures that inspired him only makes the design more unique to me - it makes him more of a mysterious throwback. You can tweak certain aspects but you've got to keep that overall visage be it capes or dorsal fins.

Quote from: Aspie on Apr 13, 2014, 11:23:24 PMWhat does godzilla even eat.

He's definitely a meat-eater, early story ideas for the original had his main motivation being hunger and a little still lingers in the final film. He's later seen chasing whales in Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Monster. But in more recent films he also draws energy from nuclear power plants and whatnot.

I could have actually created a whole new lizard and make him look like the new Godzilla then went on to say it's a new found species and that was going to explain the weird feet Godzilla has but i didn't feel like it.

Exactly. There are bound to be similarities because it's a big swimming reptile with back fins but everything released so far regarding the new film shows it gets the character in ways GINO fundamentally did not. GINO had to wink at the audience as a goofy old fisherman witnesses Godzilla's fins breaking the water while G2014 has soldiers against overwhelming odds. GINO was taken out by mere missiles while this one is bombarded by them fresh out of the ocean and moves on. Anything seen as a nod or even a knock against GINO is them simply getting things right this time.

I hope there are at least enough quiet moments in the score to effectively create tension in the right moments.

There are quiet bits in some of the trailers/promos released that work well. I know the actual music used in the trailers isn't from the official score but quiet moments aren't used enough in cinema. Like when they were shooting those flares and the camera moves up the length of Godzilla's partially visible body - that works really well. It's just a short example but it's a good one.

But the sample posted isn't sounding too amazing. As mentioned - very generic.

Sorry if this has been posted already. :P

Better be fake! Even I could write (and most of you) something like that in 15 minutes using any generic orchestral plugins, so generic. Godzilla deserves more, a lot more!

Anyway im very skeptical about the movie the more i see bits of it and afraid it will disappoint like Zilla 98 or more recently, Prometheus.

Please be good.

If the two I posted above were theatrical, those would be amazing. The others for Godzilla 2014 are quite mediocre and generic.

The Wolverine did it better. That looks kind of bland, although it's still better than the other theatrical posters.

Wouw... that's really oldschool stuff at the end, very King Kong/planet of the apey... I like it, I was just expecting something totally different, something more modern I guess, synths and so on.

The cue in the beginning though is a total copy of the Batman: Arkham Asylum Theme...

I like it!

HOWEVER

It doesn't seem to really fit the tone of the film from what we've seen in the trailers.  David Arnold's G98 opening titles seems far more suiting for this Godzilla's theme than this track, but we have yet to see the actual film and how the music accompanies it.

I honestly predicted an all traditional score, but something slower in tempo, like in the beginning of The Golden Compass track, but with much more brass.

Still sounds like a promising score!

Just watched the original cut of Gojira for the first time. First of all, the Blu-ray transfer was fantastic (guess that means I'm going to need to get some more Criterion Blus...). The movie itself was excellent as well; it was certainly much better than the King of the Monsters version that I grew up with. Excellent visuals for the time, a fantastic score, and overall a great allegorical tale told in the form of one of the most iconic monster movies ever.

There are so many Godzilla films spanning 60 years ... so many different people of varying ages from every walk of life are going to disagree as to their top 10.

I'm honestly on the fence. I like it, but it seems real busy and kind of mischievous for what they're selling the movie as. Sounds more 'fun summer adventure' than ominous towering doom. The music itself is impressive, and I love some of the compositions and instruments, but I dunno... Then again, I'm happier with it than if they did Hans Zimmer bwommmmmmmm throughout. :laugh:

Can't wait to hear the rest of the score, though, that's fo sho.

It sounds precisely like a fusion of his scores for The Golden Compass and Zero Dark Thirty, both of which are excellent, so I'm looking forward to the rest of the score regardless of the silly blockbuster shenanigans it is meant to accompany :P

So it's no better than Puffy and Zeppelin?
That sucks.

It's almost the 'Dark Knight' suit of Godzilla designs. It's very simple and streamline, mostly a single shade of color, made up of segmented plates of armor. It's very compact and sturdy but somehow nimble looking. I have my nitpicks (wish the teeth and fins were more prominent) but I'm just freaking happy it looks mostly like Godzilla should. Just something as simple as an upright, if a bit hunched, posture goes a long way to 'getting it.' They were even able to rethink his rough dark hide in a cool crocodilian way. With CG he can have an underlying musculature and the chest piece is almost a nod to how the breast bone appears in some designs.

I had a dream last night that I saw an advanced screening of this movie.

It opened up with some monologue about how some things can never be stopped, and faded into a shot of King Ghidorah's corpse, with Godzilla triumphantly roaring, silhouetted in the background. It smashed to black and opened back to some people on a ship talking about Godzilla, before Godzilla attacked them. Then it was nothing but misc. shots of Godzilla attacking things for 2 hours with little to no plot. And Bryan Cranston won an award for it.

The CG water still looks a bit off to me, a little cartoony in some places, But I really enjoyed what I saw. Still have some doubts, though. We'll see how this turns out.

Is this the same footage from Comic Con a little while ago? It seems to match the description.

That was awesome. I didn't correlate those three events (the flood, the airport, the train) in my head, but it all comes together so nicely. Very economic storytelling.

Plus, it feels like a good old fashioned Godzilla movie. Plenty of running extras and destruction, an orchestral score building dread, a monster showoff.

I was hoping the almost boring simplicity of the Muto design would be saved by seeing it in motion and I have not been disappointed.

This was the same footage shown at SXSW a month ago apparently the music and CGI wasn't even completed then. I doubt this is how it will end up in the final film.

Oh, I don't doubt it. There's no way that shot of Godzilla approaching the ship was a finished effect shot, for example (I think trailers have the more completed version, don't they?)

But so far the music we've heard feels on par with G '98. It's not necessarily bad, I just doubt I'll remember it afterwards. Normally I wouldn't care, but half of what I love about Godzilla movies is the music, so it sticks out when it doesn't work for me.

I'd be okay with it being on-par with G'98 music that was the only thing I enjoyed about that movie.I specially loved The Beginning and Godzilla vs. Submarine tracks.

For whoever missed the wondercon leak, here it is again, enjoy.

I'm going to say it: the CGI is really lame at parts, mostly the water and the MUTO I mean... I know its all blurry, but the motions give it away.

The score is fine, a tad too traditional for my liking, I'd have prefered a more primal, visceral sound. There's quite a king kong vibe going on in the horns faction.

The entry of big G at the airport is absolutely phenomenal though!

Those aren't finished effects.

Hopefully. Cos that's some 1990s level stuff in some shots. And not good, Jurassic Park 1990s stuff, either.

That's great news and I hope they do, cause like SiL, I'm not convinced yet about the visual side of things. WETA's King Kong effects for me remain the best CG work I've ever seen, so they should be able to top that now 10 years later... then again King Kong had a budget of 220 million. But we all know WETA can do it (just look at that Smaug dayum!)... so I still got hope for this one!

But so far the music we've heard feels on par with G '98. It's not necessarily bad, I just doubt I'll remember it afterwards. Normally I wouldn't care, but half of what I love about Godzilla movies is the music, so it sticks out when it doesn't work for me.
G98 had excellent work from David Arnold (not Ifukube, but what is?) and the score is usually considered the best thing about that film. The score bits in this clip, especially the part where Godzilla passes under the boat, sound very good. Desplat ain't gonna disappoint. If you expect the score to be Ifukube or Oshima level, you're being pretty delusional -- this isn't an authentic Godzilla movie, and it isn't going to have an authentic Godzilla score. But it is going to have a good Desplat score, which is nothing to sniff at.

I know there are lots of Godzilla films and I haven't seen them all but this is the only Godzilla film I'm actually interested in. And that's not to say that all the other Godzilla films are terrible but they don't appeal to me personally - a lot of it looks very dated from what I've seen in trailers. And what I've heard of Ifukube's work is better than the bits of Desplat I'm hearing but I'm just happy that it's sounding more solid than what was posted by Rathalos recently before the other stuff leaked.

I just want the film to be good, to maintain that level of tension seen in the trailers. And I want the scenes with the actors to be powerful and I don't want the Godzilla shots to be too plentiful.
Title: Re: Godzilla
Post by: Cvalda on Apr 20, 2014, 05:56:53 PM
The only actually good Godzilla movies (as in being actually good movies and not grading on a Godzilla curve) are the original 1954 Gojira and GMK. Son of Godzilla is a lovely children's film, too, and Return of Godzilla has solid mood and great cinematography. I'd recommend watching those.

Yes. But Son of Godzilla on its own is colorful and imaginative, and the score is lots of fun.

So, despite the heavy doses of Spielbergian Stupidity being channeled in this clip (and the Spielberg influence is VERY pronounced) -- CUTE KIDS IN PERIL! CUTE DOG IN DANGER! -- this was very impressively done. Granted, we don't get to hear any real dialogue (which I'm sure will be awful), and the characters still look stupid, but...

From what I have seen so far here, the Muto looks kind of... uninteresting? We've got so many long-limbed things lately I think this design - so far - comes out as a bit generic. But this is sort of good, as Godzilla has to be the star anyway -- you wouldn't want his spotlight to be stolen.

But, in an attempt at getting back on topic, I did watch the leaked footage and it is pretty damn sweet. Loving what we have seen of Godzilla himself this far and the Mutos are decent as well. Didn't mind the Cloverfield design myself, so any comparison to that one is not going to change my mind. :laugh:

But so far the music we've heard feels on par with G '98. It's not necessarily bad, I just doubt I'll remember it afterwards. Normally I wouldn't care, but half of what I love about Godzilla movies is the music, so it sticks out when it doesn't work for me.
G98 had excellent work from David Arnold (not Ifukube, but what is?) and the score is usually considered the best thing about that film. The score bits in this clip, especially the part where Godzilla passes under the boat, sound very good. Desplat ain't gonna disappoint. If you expect the score to be Ifukube or Oshima level, you're being pretty delusional -- this isn't an authentic Godzilla movie, and it isn't going to have an authentic Godzilla score. But it is going to have a good Desplat score, which is nothing to sniff at.
I'm not asking for Ifukube levels. Saying it wasn't was a joke. I just want something that will stand out and be memorable for me.

I think the music is great. It sounds like music I would expect in a Godzilla film, so for me it works perfectly and I love it from what I've heard.

Watched the leaked footage, agreed it's very Speilbergian, I'm sure Evans said he was going for a jaws vibe,  I do like the whole tsunami reference, taps into the extreme weather / global warming paranoia, such shitty quality doesn't help makes it look a little whateves.

Gareth Edwards stated that the Tsunami is a consequence of a huge mass like Godzilla thrusting from the ocean to land.

So yes, Godzilla causes it.

Of course it's physical bullshit, but who cares... it's a frickin' Godzilla movie, it looks awesome, puts a contemporary mark on it.

I've seen Godzilla flying through the air performing a double feet kick, I can handle him creating a Tsunami when leaving water.

The music at times (even from the Bonus Track floating around) sounds like a mix of the traditional Godzilla March and something from the Godzilla Millennium series.

I'm just imagining Godzilla squishing the Muto with his foot. He's big enough for that.
Title: Re: Godzilla
Post by: Gilfryd on Apr 21, 2014, 01:43:14 AM
I thought the footage was outstanding. The tsunami stuff was great. I don't think Godzilla wading ashore has ever been so elemental and disastrous. I love how the water at the airport almost signals his arrival. It's just cool stuff. I got very old school vibes from it all.

As for the MUTO, it's understandably alien in design. You almost know right away that you're meant to be more on Godzilla's side (even if he's not necessarily on ours). I've read a few comparisons to monsters like Kamacuras and Kumonga and that makes perfect sense to me, I can almost see the design brought to life via marionettes like a lot of those non-humanoid monsters were.

I think I've posted this a few times already, but if you're looking to get into Godzilla before the new movie these are definitely worth picking up -

The original film from the Criterion Collection (with unparalleled audio and visual quality) -
http://www.amazon.com/Godzilla-Criterion-Collection-Blu-ray-Takashi/dp/B005VU9LKE/ref=sr_1_4?s=movies-tv&ie=UTF8&qid=1398043761&sr=1-4&keywords=Godzilla (http://www.amazon.com/Godzilla-Criterion-Collection-Blu-ray-Takashi/dp/B005VU9LKE/ref=sr_1_4?s=movies-tv&ie=UTF8&qid=1398043761&sr=1-4&keywords=Godzilla)

Classic Media's box set featuring the original (with extras separate from the above), Godzilla Raids Again, Mothra vs. Godzilla, Ghidorah the Three-Headed Monster, Invasion of Astro-Monster, All Monsters Attack and Terror of Mechagodzilla -
http://www.amazon.com/Godzilla-Collection-Yuriko-Hoshi/dp/B000VXWK86/ref=sr_1_1?s=movies-tv&ie=UTF8&qid=1398043761&sr=1-1&keywords=Godzilla (http://www.amazon.com/Godzilla-Collection-Yuriko-Hoshi/dp/B000VXWK86/ref=sr_1_1?s=movies-tv&ie=UTF8&qid=1398043761&sr=1-1&keywords=Godzilla)

So not only do you get a loose outline of the Showa series but 6 out of the 8 films Ishiro Honda directed. It's a pretty good starting point.

The Muto design grows on me the more and more I see them. Thought it was alright when the toys and stuff came out but this footage made me like them. I especially liked how the wings seemed to have an eyeball pattern like some insects do.

Ironically enough I had a bigass moth with eyeball patterns on it's wings chilling on the downstairs window yesterday. :laugh:

Was at WonderCon all weekend and checked out the Godzilla panel with director Edwards.  He seemed like a cool guy and the footage got me way more excited to see the flick than before.  There was lots of Godzilla stuff around the floor like toys, models, posters, etc.  Will be interesting to see how it does at the box office.

I take it that there is at least 3 from one of the trailers, assuming that Godzilla isn't one. The cloverfield muto is probably there just to get it's ass kicked by Godzilla to end any debate about who would win.  :laugh:

In one of the international trailers there is a turtle like one too. Unless that is just a stage in the mutos development or from a flashback, such as the centipede monster fossil. However I'm kind of expecting a big boss battle at the end, ala like the queen in aliens.

I guess that does look like one of the flying mutos and not something that walks on all fours like a turtle. :P

Just finished Godzilla Tokyo SOS. It was pretty cool, but my favorite aspect was realizing how much of it, especially the ending, was re-purposed for Pacific Rim.

Nope. Jakks Pacific is what Nakajima is holding. The other two shots appear to be place holders ... because those are the small Happy Meal looking destruction set monsters that are out now by Bandai.

A lot of those are puppet shots which rarely match up to the main suits - especially in the Showa films - because they were constructed separately. Even then, Ghidorah the Three-Headed Monster probably has some of the best 'monster acting' in the entire series, their personalities really shine through.

Godzilla doesn't look as good as he did in Mothra vs. Godzilla but it's still a nice looking suit, and Rodan's new look befits his role as a jester-y sidekick.

I'd honestly say any of Honda/Tsuburaya films are better shot than most Heisei/Millenniums films, which usually emit a visually bland, made for TV look. There's a level of intricacy and ingenuity to those earlier golden age movies that has only been surpassed by Higuchi's work on the Gamera trilogy.

I'm not talking about the special effects. I'm talking the Godzilla suit itself.
A Monster suit is a special effect.

I guess. At the end of the day, I think it's a lousy special effect.

Right. And what Omega is saying is that even a poor special effect can be salvaged and manipulated to look a bit better in certain shots. It's all on the cinematography at that point, the positioning of the camera, the layout of items, the lighting, etc. Kind of like the animatronic shark in Jaws, and Spielberg's ultimate decision to keep in mostly out of frame rather than front and center all the time.

I'm not a big fan of the Godzilla suit from Godzilla vs the Sea Monster.

Everything else is iconic to me and recalls the golden age of suit acting.

Sea Monsters suit looked like Kermit doused in asphalt.

Some of them are. They have built-in emotions that can read as bizarre in certain circumstances, some very clear faults in the mechanization and overall articulation (that gif of Rodan's mouth, for instance) and there's never a moment that we aren't wholly aware that these are, in fact, men in suits.

That's not a bad thing.

I really do think the 1964 design (from Mothra vs. Godzilla) is the best design after the original. I also think the 65 design is rather underrated even if it does start to look pretty ratty by Sea Monster.

Doesn't appear to be a part of the film. Godzilla (from all the footage we've seen) comes out of the Bay on a foggy day. It's clear as a bell in that pic. Also there doesn't seem to be a military presence and the by standers look unimpressed.

But where does this pic come from? Some intern who's job it is to whip up shit that is supposed to go viral?

Apart from the background that is clearly just a normal photo, the big G design is definitely legit. Maybe somebody at the office had a little fun with it.

QuoteQ: Does Sony still have North American rights to GODZILLA 2000, GODZILLA, MOTHRA AND KING GHIDORAH: GIANT MONSTERS ALL-OUT ATTACK and GODZILLA AGAINST MECHAGODZILLA? These movies were not included among May's Blu-ray releases.
A: Yes, these films are still licensed to Sony and will be for many years to come.

Q: Is Sony working on Blu-rays for those three films? What about their other Toho titles: THE H-MAN, BATTLE IN OUTER SPACE, MOTHRA and the REBIRTH OF MOTHRA trilogy?
A: We don't currently have plans to bring them out on Blu-ray, but that could change based on the consumer response to these 8 titles.

Q: GODZILLA 2000 is the only film among Sony's Godzilla titles to get a North American theatrical release and have distinct Japanese and American versions. If Sony decides to release this movie on Blu-ray would both edits be included? What about the Toho international English dub?
A: We would determine the release strategy for GODZILLA 2000 at the point we decide to bring it out on Blu-ray.

Translation: no GMK on Blu-ray.

Pacific Rim was the first in a new franchise, plus admittedly it's name doesn't sell it well.

I don't see how a possible (very uncertain) success of Godzilla will fuel a Pacific Rim movie. Many people will go and watch Godzilla and after watching it not even have the urge to take a look at Pacific Rim 1. It's not like because of a new Godzilla movie, there will be more demand for a Pacific Rim sequel.

Besides Pacific Rim was a classical action movie, Godzilla is going to go the drama/character portrayal route, so it will appeal not only to Kaiju and Godzilla fans, but fans of character drama... especially because the movie has a minor Role for the Heisenberg! If the movie is a big hit (which I still don't see... hit for me means it will make more than 800 Million), it will mostly be because of his star power and mouth to mouth. The Trailers are exploiting Bryan Cranston's starpower to the fullest, Legendary knows it's the savest road to make the normal cinemagoer watch this movie.

I think for a sequel for Godzilla to get greenlit, Godzilla has to earn 500 Mio worldwide, which I think it will pull in. So I'm sure t here's more big G in the future... and according to Edwards that means: MONSTER ISLAND!

You pointed towards something interesting: Godzilla will fight 2 MUTOS in his first new movie... that is correct. However, not 1 trailer has made use of that... not one shot where 2 monsters collide with eachother has been used for promotion. Only we fans know of the MUTOS importance. But the vast majority who will make or break this film, have no clue about other Monsters in this movie and frankly don't care. Legendary obviously doesn't see 2 monsters fighting as the crowd puller, but is setting the tone for a rather psychologial/dramatical Godzilla promotion campaign.

Whereas Pacific Rim in it's very first trailers showed right away monster clashing with Machines (Jaegers).

We can deduct from that that Godzilla is oboviously meant to get grasp of a wider audience. One that will for it's largest part not care about Pacific Rim.

QuoteI think a modern Monster Island movie a la Destroy All Monsters would be really silly. If they're seriously making this film with a view to "realism", I don't see how MI would work.

I think Monster Island is a very tricky thing to pull off. It can come of as really dumb and cheesy if done wrong and since Gareth Edwards is bringing the "Christopher Nolan Realism" to Monster Movies, it would not sit well with him. But maybe like Omega said, he will choose 2 or 3 major other Kaijus (Anguirus, Rodan) and do something more along the lines of "Skull Island" in King Kong, where the creatures simply share that habitat.

Again, because Godzilla is a 60 year old franchise and is known the world over. Pacific Rim was a gamble for Legendary that paid off. Godzilla's success will gather more interest for the kaiju genre which in turn would help push forward a Pac-Rim sequel.

If KdramaStars says so then it must be true. :P

I was aware it was being written, or "planned" but I haven't heard anything that says it's going ahead officially.

This is what I mean, if Godzilla atomic blasts the box office and makes a ton of money I guarantee Legendary will confirm Pac-Rim 2 instantly.

It'd seem to be the only adequate time to do so.

No, it won't. Just because The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is surely going to make a f**k ton of cash, does not mean Sony will agree to another Ghost Rider movie. The properties may be related as they're both comic book movies but one is more profitable than the other. Why waste time making a movie where there is no guarantee of making loads of money?

Ghost Rider made a lot of money, and got a sequel.
Ghost Rider 2 was made for $57,000,000 (approx) and made $132,563,930 worldwide.

If that is a failure then I'm a barrel of corn.   

Pac-Rim made for $190 million makes $411,002,944 worldwide, plus merchandise sales which are still growing. Comparing this to Sony's ownership to Spider-Man and Ghost Rider means nothing.

It was more a reboot than a direct sequel. They redid the story because the first one was so poorly received. And guess what? No plans for more movies. The comparison works. Both Godzilla and PR are kaiju movies, but PR wasn't as well received as Godzilla will be, I can guaran-damn-tee that. Godzilla is for sure going to make more money and likely receive better reviews from critics and fans alike. The money made wasn't what Legendary was expecting for such a big scale film. Why then, if Godzilla makes more, and exceeds Legendary's expectations, would they waste time on PR which underperformed, when they can focus on a sure winner with Godzilla?

QuotePacific Rim could have used similar loyalty. The film became the third straight megabudget movie to underperform. The Guillermo del Toro story of monsters vs. robots claimed $38.3 million and third place. The opening fell short of analysts' projections of $40 million.

Ya'll know Godzilla has potential to get other Legendary kaiju projects into gear...

Mar. 20, 2014
In a recent interview with Collider on the studio's new GODZILLA movie, Legendary CEO Thomas Tull was asked about the status of PACIFIC RIM 2.

"We love being in business with Guillermo and frankly that movie, if you look it up, did I think more business than the first X-Men, did more than Batman Begins, our first movie, did more than Superman Returns, The Fast and the Furious, Star Trek- so for a movie that was an original property that we made up it's done really well. It did north of 400 million dollars globally and both the home video sales and the merchandise have way over-indexed, so it seems like fans really loved the world. So we're going to sit down with Guillermo and as long as we think it's authentic and there's something to say, we're certainly open to it."

I'm not sure what point this is supposed to prove. Nowhere in this bit of text does he imply that a Pacific Rim sequel will be made, should Godzilla be a mega-hit. All he says is, "People seem to like Pacific Rim so provided there's a good script, we'll consider it".
Title: Re: Godzilla
Post by: Alien³ on Apr 28, 2014, 06:28:32 PM
He was asked this during an interview about Godzilla.

This CEO of Legendary knows the two films are linked via the kaiju genre.

Pacific Rim 2's production will pick up speed if Godzilla does well. I'm not saying its the only factor but it is a big one.

That's from when GMK would have been Anguirus, Baragon and Varan instead of Baragon, King Ghidorah and Mothra, right? I love GMK, but I'd have preferred this. King Ghidorah is a little out of place as an Earth Defender.

I finally got around to watching GMK the other day. I didn't really care for it. It was too goofy for a movie that seemed to want to be serious, and like most Millennium movies the fights were pretty underwhelming. Hopefully the Heisei Gamera movies turn out to have been better.

I don't see it. It looks terrific. You guys are just spoiled by super exaggerated 'cool' money shot poses. I'm relieved that we'll be seeing Godzilla straight on in broad daylight at some point. He looks like he is on a mission. Also kinda reminds me of the those Chinese statues called Fu-dogs.

Proof that the CG is going to look better under the right lighting/circumstances. :P

Ugh, that horrible trailer dialogue. "Let them fight!"

It looks cool, though. Til they start opening their mouths and silly words start coming out. Aaron Taylor-Johnson looks way too Calvin Klein model for me to take seriously, though. That smouldering shot of him in the trailer :laugh:

Epic trailer... different tone than the early trailers make it out to be, but be it disaster film, action film, sci fi... it's all Godzilla, from one era or another.


Incidentally, just got back from seeing Gojira (1954). I'd seen it before, ages ago (usually in the American cut) but it's something else on the big screen. The effects are a tad obvious now, but there's so much craft involved. The cinematography is gorgeous, and the music is beautiful.
As for its story, it's the rare film that's more interesting for how dated it is. The human drama is a bit melodramatic, but thematically, it's a snapshot of the time. It's a film with something on its mind, and it's commendable how serious it takes itself. This was catharsis for a nation.

Im going to say that the murricans were probably trying to kill the G-man cause of stuff then they found that Cloverfield egg and were trying to study it to use it to beat G-man but then it hatched and it went nuts and G-man now has to save the day.

Cgi looks more polished and detailed, but the sense of weight and scale coupled with very computerish movement leaves a lot to be desired imo. Looks like a cgi cartoon plus live actors. No biggie though, most superhero flicks don't look any better these days. Still, can't wait to see in the cinema, even if the trailers don't live up to the incredible teaser.

He is now known as Bear Grylls. Fear him. But not to the point of pissing your pants. He might hunt you down then  :P

This CGI dude looks more like a dude in a suit than any of the previous versions which were actually dudes in suits.

Wasn't that the point? Otherwise you're back to Zilla (not that I mind).

I'm starting to like Zilla's design better.

I can't f**king stand South Park. I mean, its cool that you guys like it and everything, but it just doesn't strike me as funny and the kind of offensive jokes it makes really piss me off. (Correct me if I'm wrong though because I haven't seen an episode in years and I remember it being very offensive.)

Same goes for Family Guy, really. A prime example being their constant jokes about aids and cancer. My Uncle died of colon cancer. It just pisses me the f**k off for those poor souls afflicted by aids and cancer. Makes me want to punch Seth McFarlane right in his goddamn smug little face.

There's Bearzilla again. Except his jaw is also Lion-ish, I think.

I fully expect Legendary to fund a graphic novel of Pac Rim vs Godzilla. It's inevitable.

Gipsy will take that shit down with an unexpected and inunderstandably underused sword. Top tier stuff just for Aspie.

This CGI dude looks more like a dude in a suit than any of the previous versions which were actually dudes in suits.

Wasn't that the point? Otherwise you're back to Zilla (not that I mind).

I dont know if that was the point. And if that was the point why wouldn't they just go for it? The special effect here could actually accomplish something awesome with a suit.

Incoming mini-ramble...

Saying the new movie looks better than past movies is sort of beside the point. It's a multimillion dollar American production. What really should me commended is the approach. This easily could've been another GINO or Final Wars. But everything released thus far looks promising so hopefully Legendary will be the right home for Godzilla in the next few years.

Also, unlike some I really do believe Toho will eventually make their own Godzilla films again. They'll be produced differently than any of their past releases (Toho rarely makes their own in-house movies anymore), and they'll definitely have to step up their game after Legendary's movie/series, but as cool as the new movie looks I can't help but imagine what it would look like with Gamera 3 level tokusatsu effects. I hope future Japanese films strive for that level of craftsmanship.

I've put it in a spoiler tag despite there being no real spoilers ahead.

Now as I couldn't get a ticket or something as real proof I can only post these photos and give you 3 (what I like to call non-spoilers) just so when you see the film you'll know I wasn't bluffing...;D

The 3 points of reference are

1. The last time you see Aaron Taylor Johnsons character is in a sports stadium.
2. No original Godzilla theme, although our showing cut out halfway through the credits.
3. Godzilla and a human character share a glance after Godzilla falls down.

Anyway you're probably wondering what I thought.

This film was f**king monumentally awesome! I wanted to write a bad review just to piss off Aspie but I can't. First things first the serious tone of this movie works incredibly well. It's not so serious that you can't have fun, the fun is all with GODZILLA. They nailed his character. He's intelligent, badass and above all scary. He's terrifying and yet you're on his side to kick the MUTOs arse. He's massive, and his ridiculous size is totally believable: every step, every roar, every movement carries so much weight. His roar is sooo loud, I was watching this in a screen with a Dolby sound system and it shook the room, literally. if this doesn't win an Oscar for sound design I'll be surprised! It was like the first time you heard Jurassic Park.
I could cream more over how amazingly well they nailed the G but I think that sums it up. They nailed Godzilla. Oh and his atomic breath...I needed new under wear.

The MUTOs were fantastic. I don't want to give too much away but they surprised me by being so sympathetic. At one point during the films climax I felt like I wanted them to kick Godzilla's ass and take over the world but I won't go into it. You'll have to see it for yourselves.

All the human characters were great, Aaron Taylor Johnson's character Brody was my favourite and Bryan Cranston steals the opening 30 minutes. But his character does pass the batten onto Brody who goes through a lot of shit but it's all executed perfectly. Not one character was boring or a drag to the films pace, which was fine, it didn't feel too long or too short, just right.

There were a couple of things I didn't like just to balance this review a little 1) No Godzilla theme but the music was so awesome anyway I didn't miss it too much. Just once would have been nice. 2) A lengthy daytime battle. 3) More Godzilla!

However don't get worried by those last two points there's a lot of other stuff and plenty of fantastic stuff going down with what we have that as a Godzilla fan I was satisfied greatly!

This felt a lot like a Godzilla film from the Heisei era with all the weight of the original. It's ridiculously well made and I can't wait to see it again, and again, and again. I'm so glad I didn't watch the trailers because I was in awe from start to finish.

Film of the year I guarantee it.

P.s I would say sorry for Aspie's reaction to this but guys...Aspie is right. GODZILLA is f**king amazing.

It's not so serious that you can't have fun, the fun is all with GODZILLA. They nailed his character. He's intelligent, badass and above all scary. He's terrifying and yet you're on his side to kick the MUTOs arse. He's massive, and his ridiculous size is totally believable: every step, every roar, every movement carries so much weight. His roar is sooo loud, I was watching this in a screen with a Dolby sound system and it shook the room, literally. if this doesn't win an Oscar for sound design I'll be surprised! It was like the first time you heard Jurassic Park.
I could cream more over how amazingly well they nailed the G but I think that sums it up. They nailed Godzilla. Oh and his atomic breath...I needed new under wear.

The MUTOs were fantastic. I don't want to give too much away but they surprised me by being so sympathetic. At one point during the films climax I felt like I wanted them to kick Godzilla's ass and take over the world but I won't go into it. You'll have to see it for yourselves.

All the human characters were great, Aaron Taylor Johnson's character Brody was my favourite and Bryan Cranston steals the opening 30 minutes. But his character does pass the batten onto Brody who goes through a lot of shit but it's all executed perfectly. Not one character was boring or a drag to the films pace, which was fine, it didn't feel too long or too short, just right.

There were a couple of things I didn't like just to balance this review a little 1) No Godzilla theme but the music was so awesome anyway I didn't miss it too much. Just once would have been nice. 2) A lengthy daytime battle. 3) More Godzilla!

However don't get worried by those last two points there's a lot of other stuff and plenty of fantastic stuff going down with what we have that as a Godzilla fan I was satisfied greatly!

This felt a lot like a Godzilla film from the Heisei era with all the weight of the original. It's ridiculously well made and I can't wait to see it again, and again, and again. I'm so glad I didn't watch the trailers because I was in awe from start to finish.

Film of the year I guarantee it.

P.s I would say sorry for Aspie's reaction to this but guys...Aspie is right. GODZILLA is f**king amazing.

NOTE: This is a non-spoiler review as I had strict orders to keep my mouth shut, and as you all know I hate spoilers, so this will be a light as I can make it. ;) If you can guys, keep this to yourselves as best you can so I don't get Warner Brothers knocking on my door.

I've put it in a spoiler tag despite there being no real spoilers ahead.

Now as I couldn't get a ticket or something as real proof I can only post these photos and give you 3 (what I like to call non-spoilers) just so when you see the film you'll know I wasn't bluffing...;D

The 3 points of reference are

1. The last time you see Aaron Taylor Johnsons character is in a sports stadium.
2. No original Godzilla theme, although our showing cut out halfway through the credits.
3. Godzilla and a human character share a glance after Godzilla falls down.

They probably want to surprise people. They assume all the Godzilla fans will go and see this anyways so they probably think not advertising the Atomic Breath won't  hurt sales. They might even fear kids will think it's too dumb. Because today's kids are pretty dumb man. I weeped for humanity when I saw Jurassic Park 3D and there was a bunch of middle school kids in attendance.

Anyways, I think it's better left as a surprise for the general audience. Like the Otachi reveal in Pacific Rim. The reactions were priceless.  Mine too because I didn't know Otachi was the one that had wings xD It was aa great moment. And I hope the Atomic Breath can surpass that moment.

I honestly didn't think Big G would have his A breath in this movie until I came into this thread. I should've nevah come in here  :P

Hey Alien3, what did you think of the human drama? You see a lot of people saying it's unnecessary in a monster movie, but the director seems adamant about including real characters in Godzilla so that the audience has something to relate to. Just curious how it turned out. Was there a good mix of action and characterization? Was the plot shallow or did it have some twists and turns?
Title: Re: Godzilla
Post by: Alien³ on Apr 30, 2014, 04:32:46 PM
All the human characters were great and the drama worked perfectly. It sounds and feels a lot like a Heisei era Godzilla movie. The one it reminded me a lot of was Godzilla vs Biollante. In terms of feeling more than what happens.

There is something about how the human drama relates to Godzilla which I'd love to go in to but I'm going to wait until you've all seen it before I bring it up.

Alien3, I have a few questions if you don't mind answering them, please:

1. How was the score?
2. Are all the female characters just fluff?
3. Does the dog die? :P

1. The score was fantastic! It fits with the style of the film and has some truly scary moments, not to mention its scale which is grand. I'll be buying it fo sho.

2. Nope. They're used well from what I saw. If anything, there is a particular female character which makes a HUGE impact.

3. With all that destruction I'd say a lot of dogs die. One has a tiny bit of screen time but its not a joke or a hero dog in any way.

Because those aren't spoilers.

The score was fantastic?  Well used women characters?? The dog we already saw in that extended clip isn't a funny/hero dog???? f**k! Whole movie ruined. I now know everything about this movie that I was hoping would be a surprise.

I mean ... wow ... I would have been on my feet cheering had I been able to discover those on my own.  :laugh:

Here is something similar I did 2 years ago. I'll probably retool it ... make lots of new 'improved' footage if I can scramble up enough actors.

2. How many fight scenes are there?

I'm not too impressed with the design of that thing myself. It looks like a generic piece of concept art brought to the screen far before an actually finalized design came on board; kind of like the Cloverfield monster.

Although I don't mind it too much, as the focus of course has to be on Godzilla; he is the centerpiece of the film and they did a great job in designing him. The WETA influence is obvious and I love the crocodilian aspects of the design, mainly in the skin texture of the arms and legs, as well as the irregular teeth (which you can see in those screenshots pretty well). I like the overall proportions and silhouette of it, which makes for a very 'mountainous' vibe about it all. I think I would've liked something digitigrade and with longer toes, but this is fine too.

If these recent reviews are more leisurely, ended up with a collection for CBM returns to tell us, roughly, that the best Godzilla is back: "This film has been monumentally impressive j **** ay I wanted to write a bad review! just to annoy Aspie but I can not. The first is the serious tone of the film that works incredibly well.'s not as serious as not fun like the fun is all in 'Godzilla'.'ve nailed the character. Is .. intelligent, and above all terrifying macara Terrorize and even you put your hand when you mess with Smite with MUTO's massive size is ridiculous and totally believable. every step, every growl, every movement carries much weight His roar It is sooooo loud, I was watching on a screen with a Dolby sound system and shook the room, literally. If you do not win an Oscar for sound design I would be surprised. It was like the first time you hear 'Jurassic Park'. Could take more flowers on how incredibly good they have nailed to G but I think this sums it up. They nailed to Godzilla. Oh, and his atomic breath ... I needed new underwear. "

The news around this film are getting better and better. I can really dig the fact that Edwards holds back the Big G until the middle of the film, but promises stunning shots... instead of Pacific Rim just being a CGI fest. Pacific Rim needed to be that kind of brain-off movie... Godzilla doesn't. Godzilla can be serious, meaningful and contemporary. Finally after fearing a CGI overload, I seem to be getting the Godzilla Movie I wanted.

It's not like he's really doing anything new here. Godzilla usually doesn't make a full-fledged entrance in many of the movies til around the 30 minute mark. Same with the Gamera films and kaiju in general. 90% of these movies is banal character stuff (except the Gamera trilogy, where the characters are actual characters and have actual dialogue and motivation) and then the remaining 10% is the monster and effects work.

It's not like he's really doing anything new here. Godzilla usually doesn't make a full-fledged entrance in many of the movies til around the 30 minute mark. Same with the Gamera films and kaiju in general. 90% of these movies is banal character stuff (except the Gamera trilogy, where the characters are actual characters and have actual dialogue and motivation) and then the remaining 10% is the monster and effects work.
Yeah 'cause that's what everyone wants in a Godzilla film.

Human characters.

Like it or not, it's true. The vast majority of kaiju films are 45-50% boring human drama before the monsters start fighting. As long as the characters are interesting I'm fine with Godzilla not showing up until the middle of the film.

I think that whether something's been done a hundred times, or whether it is unique- doesn't really matter, that it's entertaining or artistic does.

If you love the way the monsters/animals are handled in Jaws, Jurassic Park, Alien, Predator, Rogue or the original Godzilla you'll love this. Trust me.

The human characters are great, they don't drag the film down and there is plenty of Godzilla goodness!

Yeah. Every basic story has been told a thousand different ways in each generation going all the way back to oral tradition. Having the attitude of "what's the point? it's nothing new!" is like waking up one day and saying 'f**k breathing, I do it everyday!' An over the top analogy yes, but you ... you get it.

Jaws was the BEST in terms of not needing to see the monster. Just the waves stirring (and later, the barrels) and that music! It felt legitimate because realistically you're not really going to see a shark coming for you. Jurassic Park built on that real life feeling that every kids feels when they go to the zoo to see their favorite big predator only to end up staring at foliage and empty cages because the beast is hidden, shy, or sick.

I have high hopes that this Godzilla will follow suit in the classics of the genre.

And as much as I LOVED the Gamera trilogy, it still had whimsical, sometimes story-bookish feel to them that prevented them as a whole from living up to the serious tone of it's classic scenes (like the first battle between Gamera and the Gyaos in the 3rd film!) But then again, I tend to forget that old school Gamera was always a Godzilla for slightly more demented children.  :laugh:

There's no storybook quality in the third, no idea where you'd get that. :P They have a mystical feel, but that's because Kaneko knows giant monsters are inherently ridiculous and (rightly) decided the only way to plausibly bring them to life is through a mythical aspect, which he carried over to GMK as well.

You know me too well (and yes, I do need one). :laugh: But seriously, it has more dramatic and thematic heft than any Godzilla movie, including the original. The special effects are the best in the entire genre, the score is fantastic, and the ending is genuinely very moving (and brave -- can you imagine a big budget Hollywood film ending with such ambiguity, on the edge of apocalypse no less?).

And what exactly is "Godzilla cash grab corniness"?


Remember how GAMERA beat Iris? fookin' GAMERA singes his own hand off and absorbs Iris's energy balls to form a energy-ball-fist from which he uses to make Iris go KABOOM AHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. It's good campy fun, but that's the only time in the trilogy where I laughed at an unintentionally funny scene. The other two were much much better.

Um, what? How is that campy? And I still don't see how that relates to the "Godzilla cash grab" part.

No, Gamera absorbs the fire Iris blasts at him. Gamera can absorb fire and use it, like he also did in the first film. There's nothing about the scene that's campy, aside from the baseline rubber suit monsters thing.

oops not campy, meant to say corny. The corniness is the connection to the cash grabs.

But it was soooooo silly looking.  :P I'm trying to find an extended gif of the battle, but I still cannot see how everyone attaches "grittiness" to it. I felt the same way I do when watch Mothra harass Godzilla. It just seems outlandish, even considering the source material.

The 3rd film most of all felt the most storybook. It felt like a Grimm's Fairy Tale from start to finish. Which isn't a bad thing. Alienseseses hit the nail on the head: Pans Labyrinth had the same vibe. Prepubescent girl's with dark bob hair cuts going through vaginal shaped doorways into worlds of ever increasingly sexual metaphor. It's almost Alice in Wonderland. Well ... Ayana in Irisland. ;)
Hrrmph, you may kinda have a point >:( :P

Oh you're just saying that because it had a creepy gay toady/sidekick in it.  :P (You need to get yourself one of those btw)
You know me too well (and yes, I do need one). :laugh: But seriously, it has more dramatic and thematic heft than any Godzilla movie, including the original. The special effects are the best in the entire genre, the score is fantastic, and the ending is genuinely very moving (and brave -- can you imagine a big budget Hollywood film ending with such ambiguity, on the edge of apocalypse no less?).

I agree. I love that film. I was actually pretty disappointed with GMK when I first saw it because it wasn't G3 in scope or execution. (But it totally grew on me and I love it in it's own charming Godzilla kinda way.)

Aspie. My young semi-internet-acquaintance. You really must be pulled into the glowing orange vagina of this film. (Or simply any vagina might do at this point.) It's a wonderful film.

Hey Cvalda ... is there anyway to know which G3 on Blu has the right subs? The trilogy is on Amazon for like $7 and I was wondering if I should give it a shot. It's been years since it came out.

I love GMK -- it's no Gamera 3 but it's the best made Godzilla film by far, and it transports most of what Kaneko tried to achieve successfully: strong female lead and cast of well-written, likeable side characters, progressive politics (I read an interview where he said how he hated how right wing Godzilla films always were in their presentations of the military, and he specifically wanted to address that), actually making Godzilla a symbol for something new and interesting (taking revenge on Japan for not owning up to the atrocities of WWII is pretty damn bold considering its a studio film and Japan continues to this day to whitewash its past) -- and of course, the monster action is fun, colorful, and imaginative. I bet if Kaneko was allowed more time and full creative control he'd have turned it out even better.

Just went and checked the case -- if it has a spine number at the bottom that says "63504-12-A" it should have the correct subs. Next time you go to a shop or something I'd check for that. Or you can order from here:

A quick search around the net on my Goggle surf board yields no clues as to the existence of these slim cases, where to find them, or whether they have the correct subtitles. Have you seen these bad boys on the streets? The one Amazon is selling for cheap looks exactly like the one I already own. (I know their pictures can be misleading)

Have you bit the bullet on any of the new Godzilla blurays that are coming out Cvalda? I know you said they will basically be the crummy Japanese HDTV transfers. I don't like that they've seemed to leave several of the films out in favor of packaging them in twos. Godzilla 2000, and one of the new Mecha Godzilla films is MIA. Not to mention GMK. What gives?

That is awesome, but two major gripes:

1: I feel that low bass sound isn't necessary in that moment where Big G reveals himself.  It'd be more surprising if we just heard a rumbling growl and the camera pans up to show him.

2:  The people, from what we've seen in released footage so far, don't really seem frightened for their lives.  Like, no one is ever sprinting in the opposite direction.  It's like either the actors are self concious about running away from an imaginary monster, or the camera operator just can't reach that speed on the dolly.  G98 got that right!

ANYWAY, it still looks awesome and I can't wait for the damn movie!!!!

No more promo footage for me.

Why do people have to be panicked? This isn't the 1940's. Besides, they're stuck between a muto and a godzilla... where the f**k are people supposed to run to? :P

The lines do seem corny but lets be honest here, it's probably out of context. Also it is no secret that the US Military is being made to look awesome vs canon fodder.

Yep.  ;D

From the trailers it is obvious that the mutos negate modern technology through emp. Some sort of sonar I take it. Which has rendered mans use of nuclear weapons moot. Essentially why the helicopter was carrying the missile for a manual drop that I assume didn't work. Not a bad way to handicap the military.

It's very possible the "Let them Fight" clip is cut down to encapsulate the build up. Seems like there would be more shots of people reacting from both sides of 'the monster fronts.' And the music/sound cues could be place holders or just for this clip.

It's actually pretty reminiscent of the reactions to Godzilla's first appearance in NY from 98 ... with people trying to figure out 'what the f**k am I looking at?' as they run. Bodies forward, eyes backward makes from some awkward movement. And again ... scene is probably cut down.

Sounds fine to me. Steadfast military guy speaking steadfastly, philological scientist speaking philosophically. Nothing Oscar/Cringe worthy here. It's just nice to have serious actors reacting seriously to a giant monster for a change.   

What the scene needed was a cynical gay nihilist undermining everything everyone says after every line while smirking and touching his face over and over with the effeminate hand attached to his limp wrist.

As much as I enjoy the Gamera trilogy to say they're the only genuinely well made Japanese monsters movies is ridiculous. I could maybe go with only well made contemporary kaiju movies because nothing, even in Gamera 3, comes close to the hospital scenes in the original Godzilla. Those main Honda/Tsuburaya collaborations from Godzilla to Destroy All Monsters all feature great work on both sides of production. Modern Japanese sci-fi movies owe those golden age movies a great debt of gratitude.

So far the closest thing to "Get away from her you Bitch!" out of Godzilla is "Let them fight." And even that's a stretch.

Philosophical musings are as much a part of Godzilla as city crumbling and rubber suits. They have to be in there. And "The Arrogance of Man" line is a worthy addition to this legacy. It's not reinventing the wheel or breaking new ground.

Because "context" is going to make that stilted line delivery and pompous purple dialogue sparkle anew :P

given the latest trailer for the asian market... i think that line relates more to very specific plot points and character beats...
Spoiler
regarding the MUTO's and the army.

But let's wait for the film to come out. :P

For some reason having a limited amount of Godzilla seems better to me.

But not profound, right?
Is it trying to be?

A strong female character battling a giant alien female character and calling it a bitch?

Hmm, let me think for a sec- Yes of course! It's a play on words, and profound way of saying "bring it on!"

If I was the only one who thought that then so be it. :D

Well sometimes when someone hears grim news that might mean what they'd least like to hear, they're less inclined to believe it than something they'd want to hear.

"Reviews" are popping up on Letterboxd:
http://letterboxd.com/film/godzilla-2014/ (http://letterboxd.com/film/godzilla-2014/)

Quote
First Impression: A respectful ojigi to the original.

Quote

Godzilla is 2014's Pacific Rim. Like they are VERY, VERY similar. This is less of a review and more of a comparison of the two films. I'm just going to say this right now. If you liked Pacific Rim, you'll like Godzilla. If you didn't like Pacific Rim, you won't like Godzilla.

Charlie Day was the best part of Pacific Rim. Bryan Cranston was the best part of Godzilla. Both were supporting characters, both were incredibly underused. I think it's a problem when you make a film, and a supporting character with minimal screen time is the most interesting and entertaining character. Bryan Cranston kills it in Godzilla. His performance is so much better than everyone else's. It could have been award worthy if he was in it more and he was working with better dialogue. Although I must say seeing Bryan speak Japanese is pretty f**king awesome.

The writing, again like Pacific Rim, is Godzilla's biggest flaw. It's full of cliches and some cheesy dialogue. That said it is better than the writing in Pacific Rim(aside from the Charlie Day scenes). It's just so predictable except for something that has to do with Bryan Cranston's character 40 minutes into the film(which really pissed me off by the way).

The CGI in Godzilla is really good as to be expected. It's definitely one of the better looking blockbusters. Even the cinematography is pretty damn good. I must say though, I enjoyed the action scenes much more in Pacific Rim.

Films like Pacific Rim and Godzilla show that Hollywood might just be on the right track to making incredible action blockbusters once again, but only if they step up the writing, and move away from cliches.

On track 3 right now, and there is lots of great orchestration and clever instrumentation. The orchestra has that typical "tiny" Desplat sound (somehow he can take even the most giant of orchestras and make them sound like a little chamber outfit :-\), but it's honest to god actual good music and not just some bland, basic chord change musical wallpaper like 99% of blockbuster crap these days.

Also Spotify apparently has ads between tracks, and it is terrible :-X

:laugh: Let it all out, Rage. I agree with you though. So tired of all these products forcing you to log in via Facebook or Twitter or some other crap. Just wish everything was kept apart.

I'm also tired of crap like Spotify only working in certain countries.

Yeah I can imagine that's a royal pain in the arse too. I begrudgingly logged the hell in- only Gojira sountracku could make me! :laugh:

I honestly find the main theme to be a little generic, tbh, but the creative collections of instruments and eerie quality to it I really like. It's got a little bit of Elman and even a little Goldenthal sound to it.

Having listened to the score a few times through, I think it's a shame Desplat doesn't go for much in the way of thematic material -- there's barely a theme for a Godzilla, and the Godzilla! march only gets reprised in "Last Shot". The Godzilla series is known for having scores with tons of great themes for the monsters and such, and Desplat doesn't even really give Godzilla himself a real, developed theme. Ifukube is an impossible act to follow, but the other composers in the series gave it a shot anyway and came up with great themes of their own. Kind of disappointing :P Still a good score, though.

The first track has what I assume to be the main Godzilla theme, and I think that's the worst part of what is otherwise a fantastic score. Just feels kind of clumsy and generic to me, maybe a homage but not a good one.

This is where David Arnold's score still shines bright.  His theme for Godzilla was so iconic and chilling, yet simple - basically 3 notes.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQQ9GTV4eoU#ws (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQQ9GTV4eoU#ws)

And whenever it's reprised, it's still a "holy shit, it's him!"

Listen to 1:00 on....

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7mz8zIa1uFk#ws (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7mz8zIa1uFk#ws)

Hell, even other character themes are prominent in Arnold's score.

I still REALLY like the new score, and if anything, it totally reminds me of Williams' score for Jaws.  I hope it works well with the picture.

I hear some of that David Arnold Godzilla Opening Titles in Desplats believe it or not. Can't remember which track. But it's there.

Ifukube's influence is there in Desplats opener ... which unlike Raging Dragon, I am partial to.

I hear a lot of Prometheus type sounds in there too. Especially the rolling build up music from where they took the rovers out to the temple.

Not over the moon for the 2014 score yet ... but I think it's solid. And I'm very much in agreeance with Cvalda's opinion on the lack of real theme.

I really love that track. The rest of Arnold's score is a snore to me though. But that track ... that TRACK makes me remember how optimistic I was when I first sat down in that dark theater back in the summer of 98.

I have similar fuzzy feelings about the Phantom Menace trailer (and Duel of the Fates)  :laugh:

It's definitely not in the league of Michiru Oshima's scores, not even factoring Ifukube, but I'm quite happy with it -- could have been so much worse given the modern score climate :-X

And @Req, yeah, Arnold's score is excellent. Only good thing about that movie IMO :P

Yeah from one of the articles posted earlier they seemed to have just added the 3D effects afterwards. Edwards said the 3D effects look cool so hopefully they are.

The XD 3D has a bigger screen so that's my main reason for watching it like that.

Wow, the Godzilla vs Mothra theme (the 4th movie in the video) is a great version of the original.

And then it gets ridiculous. What's up with the Smog Monster theme?

And then Ifikube comes back for Godzilla vs. Gigan. A cruddy entry into the series, but the music is kind of kickass.

Not for you, but I got back from my pre-screening last night. ;D Just finishing up my review :P

Spoiler
Holy shit that was wonderful! :o I can actually go into any details until next week, but the atmosphere of the was just... wow. My favorite scene happened on a plane, it actually didn't feature Godzilla but it had one of the most intense human conflicts in the entire film. And the scene had Elizabeth Olsen :-*

Godzilla himself was truly monstrous though. When he was on screen, you felt it. The CGI was infinitely better than those shoddy shots from the trailer. The score that accompanied Godzilla's first major attack blew my mind (as did the attack itself, which didn't come until bout 45 minutes into the movie. Good choice, I say).

Like I said, I had to sign anything and can't give any big details, but if you have any questions I'll try to answer them as best as I can.

The opening credits are a series of smash cuts like the one from The Village.
Spoiler

They don't know they are standing in the middle of the skeleton until the end of the scene ... and they pull back the camera like with Brodrick in the footprint from 98.

Spoiler
There is a scene with military guys entering and engaging a nest of baby Mutos that feels inspired by the scene from Aliens where the Marines enter the xenomorph nest.

Spoiler
The humans give Godzilla a super boost of radiation somehow that leads to him getting/using his atomic fire blast.

This critic on Lettrboxd has already started his Best of 2014 list, and Godzilla is currently at #8.

For Godzilla to even appear among those other films is probably a good indication that it's not going to be a typical blockbuster.

There's this one place I go to sometimes called Movie Tavern. They serve full meals with waiters(they're really discreet) and everything. They usually only sit pairs into these really relaxing chairs, with a fold out table, and you're pretty high up, which gives the servers the opportunity to duck under your line of sight so they don't distract you from the movie. It's pretty f**king awesome.
Title: Re: Godzilla
Post by: Vickers on May 08, 2014, 04:36:26 PM
They serve food in these Cine Prestige cinemas over here. You have a menu you can order from and you have these little side tables for drinks and meals. All the chairs can fully recline and there are 2 seats next to each other with a decent amount of space before you get the next 2 seats.

It's more expensive than watching a film in a regular theater but there are fewer people and it's a great way to experience longer films.

They're showing Godzilla and Days of Future Past in Cine Prestiges (as well as standard theaters) but you have to book beforehand to avoid disappointment. You can never walk in and expect that there will be tickets available.

I also hated growing up near a military base because if you went to see an action movie the infantry guys would be going nuts.  "Bro this is bullsht.  I WOULD'VE SHOT THEM ALL IN THE f**kING FACE!"

Most of the time though one of their sergeants they didn't know was in there would come down and tell them to shut the f**k up.  But not always.

Speaking of relaxing theater chairs, dear God the seat I sat in when I saw Under the Skin was wonderful. It's a small independent theater and I had never been in there before, but every other row was comprised of giant cushioned seats. I went by myself and had the whole thing all to me. 8)

I think that theater sold actual food (they double as a cafe) and alcohol, but the theater I usually go to is just the usual concessions- popcorn, candy, soda, hot dogs, nachos, etc. Never really get anything, though.

Yup, that's exactly what my place is like, except it never seems to be that crowded, and if you don't want to order anything you can just watch the movie for only $8, which is about $3-4 cheaper than your average ticket around here.

My theater is pretty terrible, but it does serve excellent food. The menu is called "my wife's purse" and it usually has 1-2 Monster Coffee drinks, crumb donuts, beef jerky, and occasionally full meals depending on how much she wants to lug in there.

Monster Coffee drinks and crumb donuts were, yes, invented by ass-kicking freedom.

They serve food in these Cine Prestige cinemas over here. You have a menu you can order from and you have these little side tables for drinks and meals. All the chairs can fully recline and there are 2 seats next to each other with a decent amount of space before you get the next 2 seats.

It's more expensive than watching a film in a regular theater but there are fewer people and it's a great way to experience longer films.

They're showing Godzilla and Days of Future Past in Cine Prestiges (as well as standard theaters) but you have to book beforehand to avoid disappointment. You can never walk in and expect that there will be tickets available.

Quote from: Cal427eb on May 08, 2014, 04:33:37 PM
There's this one place I go to sometimes called Movie Tavern. They serve full meals with waiters(they're really discreet) and everything. They usually only sit pairs into these really relaxing chairs, with a fold out table, and you're pretty high up, which gives the servers the opportunity to duck under your line of sight so they don't distract you from the movie. It's pretty f**king awesome.

Awesome, sounds similar to what we have here then. 8)
Yup, that's exactly what my place is like, except it never seems to be that crowded, and if you don't want to order anything you can just watch the movie for only $8, which is about $3-4 cheaper than your average ticket around here.

Bullets ain't doing shit against Godzilla. Now from the movie the mutos are nuclear creatures and by that I'll assume Godzilla can also emit emp... so there goes all that fancy billion dollar unshielded tech. Nukes apparently doesn't seem to stop him either. I think the only chance the air force has is to invent high energy beam weaponry.

You're making it awfully hard to love you, my nig.

You can't love a non-Godzillite.

Is Godzillite a thing?

Gidzillite's a thang now.

Godzillite sounds like a mega evolution parody of Godzilla...

Awkward moment. Time for clarity.

I'm just saying shit out of jest (although the love hate thing has a nugget of truth in general, and my Godzilla opinion thing is also true).

I can't imagine Aspie of all people not seeing that because that's frankly "his thing", saying shit in jest. After some thinking I guess I can't pull off "cold bastard in jest or chirping in jest" things like other members can because unlike them I'll apparently be taken seriously/literally as the "good guy Rich" I've come to be seen as.

Thought Rich was expressing his lukewarm non-anticipation for the film.

Which is interesting since most people are super hype. I love that lone voice of opposition. :laugh: Usually I'm the one doing it :P

I'm even more interested to see what you think of the film, Rich. I hope it surprises you. I hope it surprises all of us, actually, because I usually don't get that invested in hype from Hollywood anymore. They've shit the bed too many times for me.

Godzilla has become an exception solely based on Gareth Edward's strong, emotionally character-driven Monsters. I think that's just a small sample of what Hollywood needs, which can be easily summed up by 'actual passion and creativity, and respect for filmcraft.'

I'd like to enjoy it too. While I still enjoy the first Godzilla now and then as well as other movies like Rodan. I even don't mind 98Zilla, but mind you I see that more as it's own thing rather than another Godzilla movie, it comes across to me as "distant" from the Japanese movies, as it's own thing it's not the greatest movie but at the same time it's refreshingly "fun".

My interest in Godzilla isn't what it used to be for me. I've seen nearly all the movies and as a kid I wasn't too bothered by things like quality, I just went along for the ride over the years. These days though I just can't rewatch a lot of these movies anymore because the whole thing has gotten boring for me and it's pretty much narrowed down to 54' Zilla as being the only Godzilla movie I enjoy rewatching from time to time.

I'll be watching it, most likely not on the big screen though. I have very little to no faith in all this hype Godzilla 2014 is getting, from what I've seen it's the "same shit, different coat" deal.

Never noticed they had a little preamble before each title ...

QuoteAnother Alien Invasion, More Giant Monster Battles. That's Just How Things Are When You're
GODZILLA ON MONSTER ISLAND!

When The Ultimate Power of Green Takes on the Menace of Unlclean, It's
GODZILLA VS THE SMOG MONSTER!

I'm blaming Larry Koteff because it says right on the case that he was the packaging designer. BACK to school Larry!

Yes. I bought that first DVD boxed set at Best Buy ages ago with some of my friends present. After convincing them of the serious, mature, quality of these new films they had to go and read the box ...

Apparently one of the sequels was more Turtlier than that last.  :laugh: To this DAY they ask me if shit is 'Turtlier' than the first one.

Like hate is a strong word, so too is love.

You...don't love me?

Man, I thought we was crew.

Awkward moment. Time for clarity.

I'm just saying shit out of jest (although the love hate thing has a nugget of truth in general, and my Godzilla opinion thing is also true).

I can't imagine Aspie of all people not seeing that because that's frankly "his thing", saying shit in jest. After some thinking I guess I can't pull off "cold bastard in jest or chirping in jest" things like other members can because unlike them I'll apparently be taken seriously/literally as the "good guy Rich" I've come to be seen as.

QuoteThe report went on to say that Section 23 was, for all intents and purposes, the direct successor-organization to the old ADV company name, and that ADV split its assets such as the Anime Channel into the other three companies to take advantage of several legal loopholes.

Yeah it's every bit as convoluted charming Sci-Fi as any of the Showa entries but suffers from the Kaiju fight scenes being limited to rays and bumping into each other in super slow motion.

The fights really seemed to improve after 2000 (too bad the stories didn't!  :P)

Final Wars ... you have to be intoxicated AND in a really good mood to enjoy it for what it is. There are some really great/terrible parts that are just dieing to be gif.

Final Wars ... you have to be intoxicated AND in a really good mood to enjoy it for what it is. There are some really great/terrible parts that are just dieing to be gif. Fat American kid with melted chocolate on his face playing with Godzilla toys and tossing Gamera into the fireplace while hollering "You Loser!" is ... inspired filmmaking.

Not to mention the American Cop and the Pimp witnessing Rodan arriving in NY.  :laugh:



It's no coincidence that FW was directed by the guy who made the cut scenes for Twin Snakes.  :laugh:


I blame Kojima so hard for those cutscenes, if only he knew what he was getting into when he allowed Kitamura to just do his own version of the cutscenes instead of doing a shot for shot remake of them. *sigh*

Gamera: Super Monster does something similar with Godzilla, so tit for tat.

Kitamura is also one of the laughing photographs in the Psycho Mantis scene.  :laugh:

As cringe-worthy as King Ghidorah and other films in the series can get (especially SpaceGodzilla), Final Wars is infinitely worse. It's the only Toho entry I can find little to no redeeming qualities not just as a fan but as a person who likes movies in general.

At least that's done in a jokey kind of way, Kitamura has confessed not only to disliking most Godzilla movies but Japanese cinema as well. So it's a good thing Toho chose him to helm the 50th anniversary film of their most renown character!  ::)

I think Kitamura later confessed that he did Final Wars in hopes of getting directing gigs in Hollywood. I guess that would explain all those Star Wars/Matrix/X-Men rip-offs he shoved in Final Wars then (or they're simply products of his own shameful unoriginality). Other than some lame horror movies I don't think he's done much since.

Again. Loved the Zilla design. It was Zilla's character I didn't care for.

Anyone of these could have been a decent Godzilla as long as he behaved like Godzilla. Some of them are actually pretty damn scary. Some of them are old school dinosaurs.

PARTY HARD

Here's a review from Lettrboxd:
Spoiler
What's It About?: Godzilla f**ks shit up.

Who's In It?: Kick-Ass, the good acting Olsen sister, the always awesome Ken Watanabe, Sally Hawkins, Heisenberg, David Strathairn, a Juliette Binoche cameo, Godzilla, and a couple of MUTOs (or Massive Unidentified Terrestrial Organisms, but they're no longer terrestrial so is it MUAOs now?)

The Good: The insanely jaw-dropping action sequences. (My jaw was literally agape whenever shit went down.) Composer extraordinaire Alexandre Desplat's perfectly eerie score. (I think he outdid himself with his work here. Personally, his soundtrack is the highlight of the film.) The ridiculously eargasmic, floor-rumbling sound design. (If this isn't nominated for next year's Oscars, the voters will seriously need a check-up with their ENT.) The top-notch visual effects. (The 3D is not too noticeable and is only occasionally employed to add depth. IMAX, however, is highly recommended. Try seeing it in the biggest screen possible.) The Spielberg influence (e.g., the shots and the camera movements, the Jaws-esque teases and reveal, and the MUTO intro reminiscent of the first T-Rex scene in Jurassic Park.) Cranston doing what Cranston does best. "Mommy! Look! It's a dinosaur!" The epic final battle. Oh, and two words: Atomic. Breath. f**k, yeah.

The Bad: With nearly every technical aspect being quite exceptional, the limp and lackluster script sticks out like a sore thumb: the characters feel nothing more than mere cardboard cutouts, their lines sound like something out of a dialogue generator, and you get the sense that the action scenes were written before the story when it should've been the other way around. It also suffers from what I'll refer to as the Pacific Rim Syndrome or the reserving of a powerful secret weapon for the end. (I could see others having an issue with that part, but I thought it was a pretty cool reveal, so it didn't bug me that much.)

What Did I Learn?: Godzilla is not to be f**ked with. Emmerich's version is truly shit; a measly, pathetic speck of shit compared to this monster of a film. Gareth Edwards is going to be a household name and one of the go-to directors for summer blockbusters.

The Bottom Line: Director Edwards steps up to the task and delivers a crowd pleasing Spielbergian monster movie that's also unmistakably his own. In fact, at it's heart, it's very much like his impressive debut feature, Monsters, only with a bigger budget, a starrier cast, and the King of the Monsters himself. All hail the King of the Monsters! Godzilla comes recommended.

The Scorecard:
Direction: ★★★★
Acting: ★★★½
Writing: ★★★
Editing: ★★★★
Visuals: ★★★★
Sound: ★★★★★
Entertainment: ★★★★
Overall Rating: ★★★★

Here's a review from Lettrboxd:
Spoiler
What's It About?: Godzilla f**ks shit up.

Who's In It?: Kick-Ass, the good acting Olsen sister, the always awesome Ken Watanabe, Sally Hawkins, Heisenberg, David Strathairn, a Juliette Binoche cameo, Godzilla, and a couple of MUTOs (or Massive Unidentified Terrestrial Organisms, but they're no longer terrestrial so is it MUAOs now?)

The Good: The insanely jaw-dropping action sequences. (My jaw was literally agape whenever shit went down.) Composer extraordinaire Alexandre Desplat's perfectly eerie score. (I think he outdid himself with his work here. Personally, his soundtrack is the highlight of the film.) The ridiculously eargasmic, floor-rumbling sound design. (If this isn't nominated for next year's Oscars, the voters will seriously need a check-up with their ENT.) The top-notch visual effects. (The 3D is not too noticeable and is only occasionally employed to add depth. IMAX, however, is highly recommended. Try seeing it in the biggest screen possible.) The Spielberg influence (e.g., the shots and the camera movements, the Jaws-esque teases and reveal, and the MUTO intro reminiscent of the first T-Rex scene in Jurassic Park.) Cranston doing what Cranston does best. "Mommy! Look! It's a dinosaur!" The epic final battle. Oh, and two words: Atomic. Breath. f**k, yeah.

The Bad: With nearly every technical aspect being quite exceptional, the limp and lackluster script sticks out like a sore thumb: the characters feel nothing more than mere cardboard cutouts, their lines sound like something out of a dialogue generator, and you get the sense that the action scenes were written before the story when it should've been the other way around. It also suffers from what I'll refer to as the Pacific Rim Syndrome or the reserving of a powerful secret weapon for the end. (I could see others having an issue with that part, but I thought it was a pretty cool reveal, so it didn't bug me that much.)

What Did I Learn?: Godzilla is not to be f**ked with. Emmerich's version is truly shit; a measly, pathetic speck of shit compared to this monster of a film. Gareth Edwards is going to be a household name and one of the go-to directors for summer blockbusters.

The Bottom Line: Director Edwards steps up to the task and delivers a crowd pleasing Spielbergian monster movie that's also unmistakably his own. In fact, at it's heart, it's very much like his impressive debut feature, Monsters, only with a bigger budget, a starrier cast, and the King of the Monsters himself. All hail the King of the Monsters! Godzilla comes recommended.

The Scorecard:
Direction: ★★★★
Acting: ★★★½
Writing: ★★★
Editing: ★★★★
Visuals: ★★★★
Sound: ★★★★★
Entertainment: ★★★★
Overall Rating: ★★★★

Obscene booking fees ($3.25 per ticket, because f**k me, I guess) plus $23 per ticket.

It's a lot of money, but it's worth it if you only do it every now and then. The low seats per screen coupled with the high price ensure you don't get obnoxiously loud twats ruining the movie, and the seats are so big and far apart, and they recline, and you get food served to you during the movie, and and and ...

Ah, at least you get some free food. Over here the tickets are cheap but the food and drinks are totally overpriced. A normal 16 oz generic brand of bottled water cost me over 5 bucks last time, and a small popcorn was another $6.

I'm not going to justify the price, because it is insane, but it's so God damn nice when you're in a giant seat with barely anyone else and you get to just enjoy the movie in absolute comfort.

QuoteGodzilla is a rejuvenating return to form after 'Zilla was shamefully reduced to a Saturday morning cartoon, restoring a cinematic icon's tarnished reputation. Boasting a proud, ferocious roar, all other summer blockbusters now have to follow Edwards' showstopping opener – an act no movie should choose to follow. This year's Godzilla is a magnificent blend of Toho's iconic creature features and modern day Hollywood marvels, rivaling recent monster smash-hit Cloverfield's grand size and unimaginable scope. Reborn for a new generation, this is the definitive reboot fans have been wishing for, allowing Godzilla to proudly wear his crown as universal ruler once again – hail to the king, baby.

...when the camera has to switch from emotive close-ups to god's-eye-view panoramas of grappling leviathans, something's going to get lost in transition, and the actors suffer for it. Screenwriter Max Borenstein ("Seventh Son") has given us a movie informed by the hypnotic rhythms and easy rules of modern big-budget screenwriting, not the nightmare jolts and uneasy ideas one might hope for. As Godzilla faces down two long-gestating monsters who feast on radiation and devastate all in their wake, the sight feels more like a particularly high-gloss videogame than it does an apocalyptic struggle with the world in the balance, more like "Monday Night RAW" than the opening of the seven seals.

QuoteGareth Edwards' direction is never less than decent and often borders on being truly impressive and the cast is fantastic (though Bryan Cranston is turned up to 11 throughout all of his scenes, sometimes uncomfortably so). But the script (credited to Max Borenstein but frankensteined together by around half a dozen writers) is painful. I mean that almost literally. Throughout the bulk of the film's running time I was shifting in my seat, sort of aghast at some of the decisions (or non-decisions) that were being made.

QuoteThe Verdict

Legendary Pictures' Godzilla origin story carries the weight of unwieldy expectations, but rather than buckle, it is ultimately a fantastic - though imperfect - example of the genre. Gareth Edwards both depicts what is beloved about this magnificent creature and creates a film that is distinctly its own entity, one that brings Godzilla to gorgeous new life. The Easter Eggs and nods to previous versions and additional suitmation favorites will likely be appreciated by sharp-eyed aficionados. If Edwards' installment serves as your introduction to the King of the Monsters, though, there's plenty for you to enjoy as well.

QuoteGareth Edwards's Godzilla is a triumph of style over substance. It has wonderful visuals and some terrific beats, yet has little-to-no story with woefully thin and passive characters. When the film is showing off its monster mayhem and destruction, it's a corker. But it really doesn't tell a story and abandons pretty much all human interaction once the monsters shows up.

QuoteThe final battle is a masterpiece of kaiju action. I don't know what the general audience will make of it, as it's absolute classic monster wrestling. Some of the shots of the flying MOTU look like they were achieved with a guy on a wire, and it's wonderful. Edwards understands the tone exactly, knows that we want wide angle shots of monsters hitting each other and grappling for dominance, not quick cuts and shaky confusion obscured by debris and smoke. When Godzilla charged up his atomic breath I actually burst into spontaneous applause. If you like these kinds of movies this scene will be worth the price of admission alone.

QuoteScripted by Max Borenstein, working from a story by Dave Callaham, this new film is the first time since arguably "Godzilla Vs. The Smog Monster" that they've tried to actually deal with something on a subtextual level in addition to also creating a large-scale monster mayhem movie, and while I don't think the film is completely successful, there is so much that's interesting and exciting about it that it feels like a brand new day for Toho's greatest icon.

I'm expecting mixed reviews looks like the characters weren't interesting enough for all that focus. It seems Max Bornstein was the weak link here. I enjoyed Pacific Rim for what it was as long as the characters aren't completely terrible, and the monster action is good I'm still in.

QuoteAt times "Godzilla" feels like a cut above most mindless summer fare, it has great intentions; admirable ambition and most fan service moments are mostly kept at bay (until they're not). But its radiation-eating monsters are rather silly and unimaginatively look like monsters borrowed from "Cloverfield" only with wings. More crucially, when you don't care as much, all the fighting becomes noise.

http://time.com/95212/godzilla-review-movie-bryan-cranston/ (http://time.com/95212/godzilla-review-movie-bryan-cranston/)
QuoteCranston plays Joe with so much high-decibel huffing and such a preposterous hairpiece in the 1999 scenes that the Emmy committee may consider rescinding his Breaking Bad awards. And Taylor-Johnson, the young English actor so fine in Nowhere Boy, Kick-Ass and Anna Karenina, can invest only the terse strength of a War on Terror combatant. (Toward the end we learn he's the only bomb-disposal expert available to the Army in all of Northern California.) When not fighting to keep the world from ending, Ford is shepherding lost children out of peril — the cheesiest stratagem for an audience's sympathy.

Prepare to be disappointed then :P:

QuoteCue the Big G's theme music. (Actually, don't; Alexandre Desplat provides an often-rousing score, but he's chosen not to reference the familiar Akira Ifukube theme from the original Godzilla epics.)

http://www.thewrap.com/godzilla-review-bryan-cranston-2014-remake-warner-bros (http://www.thewrap.com/godzilla-review-bryan-cranston-2014-remake-warner-bros)

MOAR:
QuoteDirector Gareth Edwards ("Monsters") gets the money shots right, but neither he nor screenwriter Max Borenstein (working from a story by David Callaham) makes the human characters interesting enough to get us through two mostly Godzilla-free acts. Three of the best actresses in contemporary cinema — Binoche, Hawkins and Elizabeth Olsen (as Ford's wife) – are reduced mostly to set dressing, while Watanabe, Cranston and Strathairn get one note to play over and over. As for Taylor-Johnson, he's a very pretty blank here.

To be fair, yes, this version is a marked improvement over the disastrous 1998 "Godzilla" from director Roland Emmerich. But that's like saying the recent "Robocop" remake is better than food poisoning.

A lot of the reviews are some what puzzling... do they not know that the statue of liberty shown in the trailer is not the one in New York? I haven't seen the movie but I also think some of the themes blew clear over their heads. Maybe they were focusing too much on the cannon fo...err humans? In any case the general none-pro reviews are positive. :)

I like how almost every review is comparing it to jurassic park, with the human characters in the main focus and godzilla as the rare but well deserved reward, meaning his screen time will be relevant, just like the dinosaurs in jp. Seems my hope in edwards was well placed. Now i can't wait.

^ Mild spoilers of course. I imagine the movie will be the best/worst Godzilla movie for a while before eventually finding its own niche in the franchise, either being perpetually over/underrated like most entries. I'm not expecting another Godzilla 54 or anything, just something entertaining and well made on its own terms like the '60s films or even GMK.
Title: Re: Godzilla
Post by: TimmyTurnersDad on May 11, 2014, 01:27:02 PM
I saw the film at the military premiere in North Carolina last night. It's not as dark or as bleak as the original 1954 film, but I felt it had a nice balance of darkness and fun. The general vibe is akin to Jaws or Jurassic Park. Very Spielberg-ish. I think the deciding factor for how people will judge the film is what you think of Aaron Taylor-Johnson's character, since the film does focus on him. I personally liked him quite a bit, though Cranston's character (the definite human highlight) and Watanabe's take on Serizawa (despite being a bit under-developed) outshined him.

Also, I'm having a good laugh at the complaints about the lack of Ikufube's original theme in the film. I loved his score for the original, but I actually think the theme piece for Gojira isn't even close to being the best piece in the '54 film; that would be "Prayer for Peace." If they had included any of Ikufube's work in the film, that would have been the one that I'd have personally wanted. Desplat's score is great, in my personal opinion.

I will say this almost definitely has the best cinematography of any Godzilla film. There are some gorgeous shots in this film and Edwards has a knack for cinematic atmosphere.
Title: Re: Godzilla
Post by: Blacklabel on May 11, 2014, 02:08:49 PM
I think this review kind of fits the consensus so far: The film nails the spectacle aspects. Characters arent stupid like in the 98 film, but they're not as good as they "could" be.

QuoteSo despite some of my complaints with the writing of the human characters, I want to be clear that this isn't just some big effects extravaganza... I mean, it is that, but there's a visual storytelling element that is very specific and guided by a singular voice. This isn't Emmerich's Godzilla just trying to give the audience spectacle. The human characters aren't goofy and stupid like in the '98 film, they're just not as fleshed out as they could have been.

http://www.aintitcool.com/node/67271 (http://www.aintitcool.com/node/67271)

QuoteI ended up talking with producer Thomas Tull and while I was thanking him for helping me out with the tickets a Japanese man came up and Tull immediately looked nervous. "So, what did you think?" The man answered that he and his colleagues were amazed with the movie and couldn't believe how perfectly Godzilla was captured. "This is the Godzilla from my childhood." He said this with a hand over his heart, I swear to God. Tull looked taken aback, both relieved and amazed at the same time. After the man left, Tull leaned over to me and said, "He's the head of Toho."

No, that you've been sat waiting for any sniff of negativity (whether true or not) to riddle this thread with, completely ignoring the heaps and heaps of positive stuff.

Plus I've seen the film, the script was fine it served its purpose, it never took me out of the experience. That's my opinion and you should make yours once you've seen it.

My jimmies are quite comfortable. It's obvious yours are rustled beyond the patience to see if there's a reason for them to be rustled. Ya dig? :D

You know, if you read any review of Jurassic Park they almost always claim that the characters are mediocre...and I love the characters of Jurassic Park.

Just saying. I'll see for myself.

That's actually a good comparison. The criticisms against the human characters in Godzilla are somewhat valid, but I personally enjoyed the cast despite that.

That said, when the inevitable sequel comes along, I don't think the Brody family will return. Their personal story felt pretty wrapped up by the end of the film. I'm hoping that the sequel(s) will focus more on Dr. Serizawa and explore and develop him more. Apparently some of his back-story was cut from the film and put into the companion graphic novel, Godzilla Awakening or whatever it's called. Perhaps he could lose an eye and don the iconic eye-patch in the next film?

Reading the reviews make this movie seem like a "serious" take on the Godzilla movies of the Showa Era. Pretty much you have a bunch of padding of the human characters with some Godzilla here and now for the first two acts, and then it just becomes a slobberknocker of a fight when Godzilla shows up for the entirety of the last act of the movie. So if I'm not wrong that this is the formula of the movie, then I'll be happy with it.

I was always at the point that I didn't care whether it would be crap or not, I was just happy a new Godzilla movie was finally coming out. In theaters no less. Last time we got that was with Godzilla 2000 when I was a little 5 year old brat. The fact that most of what I've heard is positive and everything looks great has me fairly excited even more than I already was.

So bring on May 16th cause I've got my ticket ready along with an old ass Godzilla action figure to take with me too. :laugh:

I bought 16 tickets. Just one for me though. I also don't believe it myself but people really did find Neighbors and that zach guy to be great. However considering I found the hangover to be bland I'm not going to waste money seeing neighbors since I assume it's the same type of movie.

Hell no, that's why I'm so excited for Gareth anyway. I was so hoping he would really rein it in and build it up.

Like those sparse monster appearances in Monsters, I found them very effective, well shot, and strikingly mysterious and/or dangerous when they occurred.

One of the more memorable scenes for me was one where they were on a boat going down a river, and they hear a strange creature calling out. Suddenly something upriver starts moving through the water at them kind of erratically. It looks like a big fin, but as it gets close it emerges from the water and it's a moss-covered fighter jet.

The photographer guy takes a few pictures, but then they see flashes of light under the water, beneath the jet. There's more of the strange howling from whatever it is, and finally some sufficiently creepy black tentacles emerge from behind the jet and drag it back under the water.

It's just so eerie, like an oddly intelligent animal playing with something it found, and much of the monster business in the movie is like that: just tension and mystery.

I love that, and can't wait for it with the G man!

The movie is called godzilla.... he is the main attraction. The people in it sure aren't. So I really don't understand where the reviewers are coming from when they make that claim. He's a 300 foot tall dinosaurs ffs. :P

Not at all. I'd rather see less of him, like Bruce in Jaws. It adds to the suspense factor.
Title: Re: Godzilla
Post by: Gilfryd on May 12, 2014, 01:03:39 PM
It really bothers me how just because movies like Jaws and Alien hid their creatures every filmmaker feels the need to do the same. It's never done as well and more often that not becomes rather annoying. Plus, Godzilla is a big freaking monster and aside from some build up to his arrival just about every movie showcases him in full. He's just another character in these movies - albeit a giant and scaly one.

I love how a movie like The Host (2006) had the balls just to say "No, we're not doing Alien" and had their monster (a brilliantly designed one) first appear in broad daylight. That way you gave the audience the monster they came to see up front, and now you get to know the characters and people aren't distracted by trying to catch a glimpse at the creature chasing them around (Cloverfield, Super 8 had this problem).

The popularity of the site has nothing to do with anything.
And i rather go with Metacritic because they actually have a different grades for their reviews instead of the simple good/bad in RT. Which in way too many occasions categorizes reviews in the wrong end simply because whoever is putting those reviews up felt a review was going a certain way. I certainly think that Avengers was more of an average film that something close to perfect.

RT gives a percentage of how many reviews for any given movie can be considered leaning towards positive.
Metacritic gives an average rating of the movie's quality.

Two different metrics.

I prefer RT, because while I love film analysis after the fact, when I want to know whether or not a movie is worth going to I'd rather get a sense of the vibe people get from it than a quantifiable measurement of its value.

Based on movie reviews.
Metacritic actually gives a review that has both positives and negatives a score that shows that while RT randomly assigns it as bad or good based on i dont know what. Anyone here that actually reads reviews should have encountered this plenty of times if they frequent RT. You read a review that in your head looks to be negative, or positive, then you see it in RT marked as the opposite.  Why? Who knows.

RT is hardly the most accurate site for anything quantifiable.

RT gives a percentage of how many reviews for any given movie can be considered leaning towards positive.
Metacritic gives an average rating of the movie's quality.

Two different metrics.

I prefer RT, because while I love film analysis after the fact, when I want to know whether or not a movie is worth going to I'd rather get a sense of the vibe people get from it than a quantifiable measurement of its value.

Based on movie reviews.
Metacritic actually gives a review that has both positives and negatives a score that shows that while RT randomly assigns it as bad or good based on i dont know what. Anyone here that actually reads reviews should have encountered this plenty of times if they frequent RT. You read a review that in your head looks to be negative, or positive, then you see it in RT marked as the opposite.  Why? Who knows.

RT is hardly the most accurate site for anything quantifiable.

Random? Really?

I'd think that if a review says the movie is good and worth seeing, it can be counted as a positive review and if it says that it is bad and not worth seeing it's a negative review.

It's pretty simple. You're reaching. Once again.  :laugh:

Rotten Tomatoes shows the percentage of movie reviews that are positive, there's really no way around that fact.

"Annoyingly, none of the other human characters are utilised for anything more than delivering exposition, and it makes for a jarring experience. We learn absolutely nothing about the scientists who are tasked with trying to prevent the world from being stomped upon – and whilst Ken Watanabe's scientist's delivery of "We call him Godzilla" is a meme-worthy delight, he's so forgettable that you don't even bother to learn his name. Same goes for fellow scientist Sally Hawkins (usually wonderful), who serves as an exposition machine of the highest order from start to finish, and a vastly underused Elizabeth Olsen, who plays Ford's "loving wife.""

Hello.  How about a quiz?

DO NOT GOOGLE THE ANSWER.  No cheaters.  Just say no.

This occured to me in reading some Godzilla 2014 reviews, and especially some posts here.


What movie is this prominent critic's review about?


"So far I've managed to avoid describing the story or any of the humans involved in it. That's because what this movie is about, and where it succeeds best, is the *****blahblah******. The characters, for the most part, and the non-*****blahblah******* elements in the story, are comparatively weak and not believable."

Unlike their last kickstarter effort to acquire Twilight, which resulted in Starship Troopers, they have the rights to the film secured, it was only a matter of cash, which they now have!

I found out yesterday that my dad, who always says how much he hates the American Godzilla, has never actually seen it! We're both Rifftrax fans, and with their impending riffing, he said he have to go back on his vow never to see it. I called him out on it, and apparently his hatred is all a matter of principle that it is NOT Godzilla. That, and he hates Matthew Broderick for making him suffer through Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Most people seem to like that movie, but not my dad...

Rottentomatoes consensus after 40 reviews:
QuoteWith just enough human drama to anchor the sweeping spectacle of giant monsters smashing everything in sight, Gareth Edwards' Godzilla satisfyingly restores the franchise's fire-breathing glory.

http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/godzilla_2014/ (http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/godzilla_2014/) 90% fresh. (it'll go down, though.)

A far cry from 1998's 25%, with the consensus being... well, there's no consensus.

Can't wait to see this. I'm going on Sunday, but I'm trying to get tickets for Thursday night Imax as well.

I just rewatched Mothra vs. Godzilla. It feels more like a sequel to the original than any of the other Showa films.

QuoteThe original 1954 Godzilla was really a metaphor for Hiroshima and Nagasaki and, I believe, that if they could have just made a movie about Hiroshia they would have. And we wouldn't have ever gotten Godzilla. But because they were censored so heavily after the war, they had to sneak it under that radar under the guise of a monster movie.
No, Gareth, that is not why they made Gojira.

There is more than one direct reference to Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Gojira, so they can't have been too censored...

It would be more correct to say Tanaka simply wanted to make Japan's first giant monster movie, and Honda, Murata, etc. brought way more depth to the project. Otherwise it could have been just a Japanese Beast from 20,000 Fathoms with a monster suit.

Oh look, mini-figs!

Just got out of theatre. Thoughts soon.

So, fantastic movie. Move over pacific rim.  The acting was fantastic from everyone and Cranston is as stellar as always. The visual effects are amazing, especially on Godzilla. On him, he is used sparingly and when he shows up shit goes down! Some really effective, chilling moments the direction and photography is effective.

That third act! Best part of the movie! Final fight, my god, a truly fantastic cinematic experience. I loved Godzilla through and through! Anything less than 83% is criminal.

Spoiler time!

Man I literally had tears of joy watching that final fight. And you're right that decapitation move from Godzilla was badass! What did you think of the two Mutos? I thought the scene with the male offering up the missile to the female was particularly unexpected, the way they made you feel sympathy for them for a brief moment. Did you get those feels?

It's called IMAX. But it's fake IMAX. Large screen, IMAX brand name, but not actual IMAX projection, and not as big as the screen can get.

You probably have the same one they get in Mexico. That's the IMEX.

Title: Re: Godzilla
Post by: SiL on May 15, 2014, 11:35:06 AM
Woo, just got back.

I'm gonna spoiler tag a few thoughts, but if I had to do a one-line review which summed up everything I have to say about the film, it'd be:

While Godzilla was sorely absent for a movie called "Godzilla", at no point did I sit there thinking "This is f**king stupid".

And for a movie like this, that's really saying a lot.

The following aren't really spoilers, but people who haven't seen the film yet might not want to read them:

Spoiler
For a film about Godzilla, he really doesn't get a lot of attention. Even in scenes where he's a main character, the focus is almost always elsewhere. There's holding back, and then there's being a tease, and then there's this movie. Even when we get to the final climactic battle, the one time you'd expect to see Godzilla aplenty, they do everything they can to obscure him and not see him for very long. Only in the last half of the last fight do we really start to see Godzilla a lot.

It's a problem here because it really doesn't add to the film. They do a full body reveal of the Big G ... and then immediately cut away. It's counter-intuitive. You cut before the full body reveal, not after. It's like the film can't decide if it wants to hold out on the good stuff, or show you what you're here to see, and tries to do both in the most inelegant way I've seen in a film.

Some people try to use the original film as justification, but that movie has a 20-minute rampage with so many shots focusing on the Big G you could memorize the location of all the hooks holding the suit together by the end of it.

Other musings:

I haven't been keen on Desplat's score, but hearing it in the theater was amazing.

They kept Ligeti's music over the HALO scene and it was f**king awesome.

A lot of the dopey dialogue in the film people mention doesn't feel as dopey when watching the film. The explanation of where Godzilla and the MUTOs are from was maybe cringeworthy, but mercifully brief.

Why was Ken Watanabe in this movie, honestly. He's just ... there.

Godzilla's atomic breath was sweet.

There really shouldn't be any.

They're both inherently dopey films involving giant monsters trashing places. However Pacific Rim goes out of its way to be stupid as often as possible, whereas Godzilla makes its rules and pretty much sticks with them. A couple of meh lines of dialogue aside there's really nothing in the movie that makes you stop paying attention to say "Whoa, that was stupid".

Which is more than can be said for any ten minutes of Pacific Rim.

Just one quick thing, and I don't imagine this is spoilery...how does this film tackle the whole anti-nuclear war message? Is it as good as the original film?
Title: Re: Godzilla
Post by: SiL on May 15, 2014, 12:07:13 PM
It tries to say something about nukes, maybe? But it's kind of shoehorned in and it's really not clear what they're saying by the end of the movie.
Title: Re: Godzilla
Post by: DoomRulz on May 15, 2014, 12:11:35 PM
Hm, that's a shame. I guess it's lost in focus, considering there's a monster fight in this film.
Title: Re: Godzilla
Post by: SiL on May 15, 2014, 12:12:50 PM
It's one of the dopey aspects of the film, but it's not distractingly stupid.

EDIT

A description I gave to a friend:

QuoteThe new Godzilla film is the heartwarming story of two giant, terrifying insect monsters who travel across the world to be with each other, only for some giant lizard to crash their party and generally act like a dick.

It really does feel like a MUTO movie featuring Godzilla, and not the other way around.

That last paragraph is pretty spot on honestly.

"Godzilla is now the only alpha predator besides man who doesn't eat what he hunts. But somehow, he still exists to restore the balance to nature - even if that means saving humanity and its practice of nuclear fission. Bonkers and boring.

Very silly, but that's the genre.

It did lack tension for me, considering the pacing you'd think they'd get it spot on, even the family elements are Spielberg light, lol and the heavy dose of Merica f**k yeah (almost at bay levels)

Post by: blood. on May 15, 2014, 12:58:05 PM
This movie is outrageous.

2/10 at best.

Spoiler

Intense buildup leading up to incredible sequences are great, but when they lead up to a joke then you're sort of left feeling like someone just stole the food you've been looking forward to eating all day. That's the main feeling I got throughout the whole film. When anything noteworthy finally happened I was so antagonized by this point that I needed these moments to be ****ING EPIC to make up for such a long wait and tease, yet these moments were... ok. Maybe even good, but still underwhelming compared to the potential this movie had. I mean... there's godzilla slowly dramatically rising out of the water for a second time and we have to watch some dude we've never seen drive a school bus. Who gives a shit... show me godzilla!!! Then he finally stares down mutos and we cut to an add break nearly every time.

The main problem for me personally was that the film felt empty. I really didn't give a shit about anything that happened. The only character I cared about, Cranston's character, was killed as soon as the monsters start showing up. There's a dude, figured this shit out before everyone else. He seems to know what he's talking about, let's follow him. NOPE. He's dead now. Let's just follow his son because he just happens to be military, and in plane clothes as an anonymous civilian talk his way into a military position of significance in one of the most important missions in human history then happens to be fully qualified in that specific mission then happens to be the only guy to survive an attack therefore the only guy capable to defuse the bomb yet by the end he can't even defuse it anyway. Oh and the eggs feel like a complete afterthought. It's like he's looking at them thinking "hmmm... maybe I should do something about that... oh look a handy fuel tanker right here... I'll just blow this up and be out in a jiffy." Come on. I never gave a shit about this character and the only reason he had any success is not because he made it happen but because of a long string of coincidences. What was with him helping the japanese kid? Was it purely to tell us he's a good person?!? We already figured that, stop wasting time and get on with the movie!!!

Now, godzilla and motos... this is why monster versus movies never work. Because they aren't on anyone's side. Humans are just spectators. This was a mutos movie. Godzilla just sort of turns up every now and then to scare them off until they double team him, then he keeps using his bonus lives to barely summon strength to use trump cards repeatedly. There was no reason to cheer for godzilla besides the japanese dude saying he is nature's power to restore balance. Besides that, he's just a monster as well, and just as much of a threat. If godzilla was spotted first, and shown being attacked by humans in this film first and gave the feeling that he had no interest in humans yet we still try to kill him, then maybe we would feel something for him and when mutos turns up we can cheer for him. Instead he's just there... and we don't even get to see him much.

All things considered, once I realized nothing was there to care about including Godzilla I figured at the very least I could get a decent monster brawl or two, but no, those were underwhelming and constant cutaways. Two moments, the tail whip one hit ko and the mouth to mouth atomic breath decapitation were the only two moments that were good but that's not enough to make up for the constant disappointments throughout the film.

Aspie, Godzilla has dropped to 81% on RT. Lol

A lot less hyped for the film now but not because of the RT score. Reading some more thoughts from people who have seen the film (including SiL and Rong) has given me a more balanced view of the film. :P

Yeah, I'm kind of with Vicks. That being said, I grew up a huge Godzilla fan and this seems very much to be in the vein of the Toho films after the original (clunky dialogue and hamfisted moral lessons to boot!) so I'm pretty much guaranteed to enjoy it immensely.

Seeing it in about 12 hours! :)

http://godzilla.wikia.com/wiki/Ghost_Godzilla (http://godzilla.wikia.com/wiki/Ghost_Godzilla)

I've heard about this (among many other Godzilla vs _____ that never happened) such as Godzilla vs The Devil.

I think G vs GG would have been another typical Heisei G flick to be honest. The idea is no more silly than a Space Godzilla or building a Mecha G around Godzilla's bones ... and would have been different enough to warrent making really quick (in that half a year Toho turn around kinda way)

There was LOOOONG a rumor ... decades ... of a 'lost Godzilla film' from the late 70's early 80's called Godzilla vs The Wolfman. The rumor turned out to be partially true once the internet connected a bunch of people in the know and soon stills and even video clips from this film started popping up. Turns out it was a fan film from waay back in the day. Some former Toho special effects workers among the talent involved I believe.

No other that is notably better that I've seen. I didn't believe it existed for over 30. Imagine the sound of my jaw dropping (before the reality of it's true but no less cool origins came to light.)

Even if it's not a better film than Pacific Rim it will have a higher score on RT because of the Godzilla brand.  :laugh:

But from all accounts the movie will turn a HUGE profit AND be MOSTLY unanimous critical success (especially for the genre) and there WILL be a sequel ... and THAT in turn will generate a fast track for Pacific Rim 2 ... WIN/WIN.

Maybe he's maturing. Or maybe he had a headache when he was recording and he didn't want to make it worse.

Or ... maybe it doesn't matter because this movie is going to rock.

As a fan of the genre I am totally used to the types of wooden characters they say exist also in this film. It's the tone that excites me. The tone and the realistic street level view or things larger than life.

The Art if Book ... is LAVISH! Best Art of book I own. And I own a bunch. Truly inspiring. And not just one little section in the back on the beast himself with 200 pages of photoshop city destruction pre-viz as filler. It's amaze balls.

I got Heisei Godzilla:

Full of just as much flare as you are grimace, you are perhaps the most recognizable incarnation of the Big G to date, Heisei Godzilla! Mutated from the last surviving Godzillasaurus, you were the last of your kind forced into the first of your kind - an absolute powerhouse of wrathful atomic energy. Whether you're defending your home from invading kaiju or stomping humans to punish their ignorance - you've done and seen it all. Which is good, because your nuclear center is counting down to the ultimate atomic disaster... Watch out, Tokyo!

Millennium Godzilla

QuoteReborn unto a modern world filled with more human ignorance than you can swipe a tail at, you are the reincarnation of nature's wrath. Full of somber history and an intelligence unlike most Godzillas before you, your's is a mission of balance and restoration. You are capable of taking many forms (or incarnations, in this series' case) to best whatever foes the universe throws your way, and if nothing else are responsible for wiping Tristar's awful 1998 Godzilla off the map. And we all thank you

I guess I'm okay with this.

Legendary's Godzilla, awesome. :o :laugh:

QuoteA modern legend for a modern age, you are a survivor of nature's own atomic era, a true force of balance within the guise of chaos. Humanity's ignorance of nuclear power has brought you out of hibernation, and forces your hand in an age where the arrogance of man assumes that nature is in their control... and not the other way around. The people of this world will fear and hate you, but will ultimately come to realize that you are as natural as a hurricane - and as necessary as a forest fire. For from the ashes you leave behind will grow the seeds of a new world. A better world. Long Live the King!

They're both inherently dopey films involving giant monsters trashing places. However Pacific Rim goes out of its way to be stupid as often as possible, whereas Godzilla makes its rules and pretty much sticks with them.

Yeah, 'Pacific Rim' is just balls-out, in-your-face with flashy 'elbow-rocket' nonsense. 'Godzilla' at least tries to give a mature sense of atmosphere, even if much of it doesn't stand up to logical scrutiny.

Quote from: DoomRulz on May 15, 2014, 12:02:59 PM
Just one quick thing, and I don't imagine this is spoilery...how does this film tackle the whole anti-nuclear war message? Is it as good as the original film?

In a plot device-y way. In fact, without spoiling anything, the very final scene even totally contradicts some of what they say earlier on about radiation. Don't go looking for any kind of intellectual subtext about the subject.

Quote from: SiL on May 15, 2014, 12:12:50 PM
The new Godzilla film is the heartwarming story of two giant, terrifying insect monsters who travel across the world to be with each other, only for some giant lizard to crash their party and generally act like a dick.

Hah! Pretty much! :laugh:

My non-spoilery review:

The cinematography's beautiful and is what places it above 'Pacific Rim'. Much like the director's previous effort, however, while he's great at conveying a very effective sense of ominous foreboding, it keeps on leading to one anti-climax after another. The first act is fairly good. After that... The characters just aren't the least bit memorable, which is odd, because the one character who had potential seems to be swapped out for someone who starts off as - and essentially remains - a blank slate. Then you realise the story has no real focus and the military comes across as downright inept. There are even a few moments where it seems like the writers went, "What about the soldiers? Uhh... Have them do shit!" And what they then do doesn't make terribly much sense.

Which is kind of odd, because most of the time they don't even bother to do much. You've got monstrosities rampaging across the land, who should be under constant attack from artillery, high-flying B-1s/B-52s and more, but it's like the government went, "Let's wait and see." There's even a scene where ships wait until one of the creatures is at point-blank range before opening up with... Missiles, which totally miss for obvious reasons. Guns, torpedoes and so on? Nope. It's like they want to get trashed.

The CGI is well done, but the 3D effect felt surprisingly under-utilised, given the kind of movie it is. Godzilla's enemies, however, really do look like a couple of staple-removers glued together, just like the toys. Do they move realistically on screen? Yeah. Are they necessarily interesting to look at? Not really... The end result basically comes across as just another monster movie, albeit, one which was shot nicely. There's not really anything which makes it stand out from the rest of them, outside of, as I say, the cinematography and instances of foreboding.

And, damn, I know Godzilla looked a tad bulky on the posters, but he/she/it really does look painfully on the tubby side in action.

On the other hand, if you go and watch it while drunk, I can imagine it might be sort of trippy, so long as you're willing to have patience through all the repeated SOMETHING-BIG-IS-GOING-TO-HAPPEN-oh-no-wait-it's-not stuff.

Just came back from the cinema. Can't really write a solid review for now cause my emotions for this movie are all over the place, from joy to disappointment.

First of all let me say, that the tone of the movie is killer. There are fantastic shots of cityscapes, cruisers, i mean wow!
The film really is like a bigger budget MONSTERS movie. Is that a good thing? In theory i think so.

I loved the fact that edwards focused the main attention towards the human characters. The idea was great, the execution lacked though. Whereas i love me some over the top Hal... Erm i mean bryan cranston, the rest of the cast is so bland. The actors were not miscast, there was just no soul in the characters. It is partly painful to watch. There is cranston pouring out (too?)/so much emotions which makes the rest of the actors look even more flat.

Undortunately the cgi was pretty meh... Nothing spectacular like pacific rim. The mutos were amazing though! I loved everything about them. It really is their movie and I must say they more than deserve it!

As for the big G, he looks awesome, the best he ever has. A huge heisei vibe! his presence is felt throughout the movie... Even if he really isn'ton screen that much. I liked that, i liked that edwards holds godzilla back... But again the execution lacked.
So dont get me wrong, i have no problem with godzilla not being on screen much. There's nothing wrong with that. Just like i didnt mind batman not being around much in tdkr. So whats my problem:
Imagine jaws, the shark is teased, things happen and finally he's revealed. Okay now repeat this a couple of times and you have godzilla's presentation in this film. It just doesn't sit well... Now the payoff is there in the end... But the way to that point just isn't satisfying in my eyes.

It wasn't a bad movie... It was good. But why am i not that entusiastic about it... Did i overhype it that much? I don't know. All i know is that i need another viewing to make my mind up how this film was. For now i cant rate it

Sorry to be the deliverer of your misfortune. :)

It does try to be deeper than it actually is, because of how the shots are framed, etcetera. You feel like you're watching a movie which takes itself seriously. The trouble is, given how lacking the actual story is, it might have actually benefited from some 'Independence Day'/'Jurassic Park'-style sense of fun. Or at least characters who you felt entertained/compelled by.

Looks nice, shame about the execution.

Also, Godzilla's reason for doing what he/she/it is doing, is none too clear. By the end of the film, you're left with the impression that he/she/it just enjoys f**king things up. At least the nineties version gave it the motivation of looking for food. This one's apparently nature's way of bringing balance to the Force, just because.

Kind of a reptilian Anakin Skywalker who's piled on the pounds with too many Jedi Burgers.

I loved the fact that edwards focused the main attention towards the human characters. The idea was great, the execution lacked though. Whereas i love me some over the top Hal... Erm i mean bryan cranston, the rest of the cast is so bland. The actors were not miscast, there was just no soul in the characters. It is partly painful to watch. There is cranston pouring out (too?)/so much emotions which makes the rest of the actors look even more flat.

I think you've identified the issue well here. Cranston's stuff felt moving and genuine. The other characters just don't have much to say/do by comparison. Even Watanabe's character basically stands around looking a bit fearful about what to do and that's about the extent of his development.

No I'm serious, I've never even seen a Godzilla film and I really have no interest in this one either.
But do you all honestly have nothing better to do that jab at film you haven't seen?

On that subject... Days of Future Past looks shit.









Just kidding. I want to see it too despite the continuity errors and glaring timeline issues.

Butterfly effect, also if you haven't watched any of the clips (Which they've released too many of lol) some of the issues have been fixed.

But 'tis the Godzilla thread and if you wanna discuss DOFP there's a thread for that, don't wish to be a hypocrite.

We're Godzilla fans from different eras. Old school fans of Toho had to make their own costumes. My costume was probably made off the Hanna-Barbera version. My kids will be dressed up as the Legendary Godzilla and yours will be the next Godzilla.

His record "Earth Beasts Awaken" is a love letter to Giant Monster movies. (You can download it free from the link) It even samples some Godzilla favorites. Outstanding stuff. I listened to it everyday on the way to and from work for months.

This track samples "Godzilla on Monster Island."  ... in keeping with this thread.  ;)

@Bat Chain and Alienseseses

Nice!

@Alien³

Well....

Spoiler
Naturally, I had to compare this film with the 1998 movie.  Surprisingly, there were a lot of similarities and obviously more differences.  In the end, I have to say that, even aside from nostalgic's sake, and already being a devoted fan, I find the two films to be equally enjoyable. 

Things that I felt the 2014 film did better:

-The underlying character story and development was a BIG improvement over the '98 film (however, it did feel a bit like the writers tried too hard to make them feel like realistic likable people, where the '98 film was just having fun with their character banter.  Serizawa was the one I took least seriously in the movie, but I still really enjoyed Watanabe's performance.  I loved everyone's.

-Obviously, Godzilla's size was a HUGE element in this movie, and Edwards did a marvelous job with showcasing his enormity amongst his surroundings to the audience.

-More than one monster? Excellent!  I really enjoyed the anatomy of the MUTOs and their persona depicted in the movie.  The whole concept of nuclear energy consumption around the globe was interesting.  However, I felt like they had a lot more screen time than Godzilla himself.  I could have also done without the lovey-dovey Monsters embracing scene.  You just sorta feel bad for the enemy monsters dying because of that.  Anyway, I loved them!

-THE f**kING RADIOACTIVE BREATH!  That shit was so gorgeous!  I didn't even expect him to use it until the final blow or something (which he still did)  It gave me goosebumps when the female MUTO was about to kill Ford and then you just hear like this generator charging up sound and his illuminating blue spikes revealed from the dust and debris behind the MUTO.  AND THAT FINAL KILL.

-I also enjoyed that this Godzilla had a brief interaction with Ford when he went down after relentless beating from the MUTOs.  '98 had a similar moment too, and honestly, I don't know which one felt more appropriate. (I think 1998 now that I think about it)  Eh, whatever.

-Finally, the destruction in this movie was massive, and Gareth's visual eye was a key element in bringing this movie to full glory.

Things I felt the 1998 film did better:

-I personally enjoy the roar of the '98 Godzilla more than the new one.  Sure, the new one's was definitely loud and powerful, which was awesome in the theater, but it didn't really vary or feel organic/creative enough for me.  '98 Godzilla had multiple vocalizations that still sounded like a contemporary Godzilla roar or growl.

-The build-up reveal for Godzilla 1998, I felt, was better executed.  I don't mean the build up with the tsunami and airport attack; that was done masterfully.  I mean with the opening titles (which both films had similar styles), the '98 movie didn't really even hint at what Godzilla actually looked like, and there was no known knowledge of what he was, aside from tales from Japanese sailor encounters.  The 2014 film already sort of tells who he is and that he's been around for a long time, which made it feel like a sequel to me more than an establishing movie.  That's where I felt the 1998 movie prevailed, because everyone was scrambling trying to figure out what the f**k this thing is and what it wanted, rather than take what a lone Japanese researcher says without a grain of salt.  Anyway, the initial reveal for Godzilla, I thought, was equally impressive in both films.  I do like in Gareth's movie that it took a tiny bit longer than the '98 movie to mention Godzilla's name again.  We were so distracted with the military secrets and the MUTOs in the meantime.  Both films showcased awesome grand entrances for Big G; tsunamis and chaotic crowds included.

-The score. I honestly love both scores, but I felt that the 2014 movie would have benefited more with David Arnold's gritty, thematic music.  Desplat's rendition is definitely an homage to the heise and classic monster films in some instances, but in others, it becomes playful and sucks the seriousness out of the situation.

-Honestly, the visual effects, to me, are still superior, in terms of duration, in Emmerich's film.  There are still a lot of REALLY well rendered, photo-realistic shots in the '98 film, where a lot of the 2014 film is definitely well rendered, but not naturalistic enough.  I still wish Edwards went with some animatronics and suits too; like Emmerich did.

-something that dissapointed me was that the military sort of semi-accepted Godzilla as an ally really quickly in the movie.  Of course they probably figured they wouldn't stand a chance against him, since they were getting their asses handed to them by the MUTOs.  Still, I felt the way the military tried to handle Godzilla in the 1998 movie seemed more realistic.

-People freaking out and running.  It was just, more times than less, believable in Emmerich's movie than Edwards. (that tracking shot with Olsen in the rain :-\)

-I also just liked the pacing a lot more in the '98 film.  Don't know why.  It felt more natural?  Don't know.

In the end, I still like both movies a lot.  They both level about the same for me.   :)

Also, I just got my NECA Godzilla in the mail, so that's why this is a late response.  Cool figure!

It will open with a 10 minute montage of Godzilla destroying almost everything in sight. The rest of the film will focus on a small group of characters from different walks of life.

Fun game to play for when you inevitably lose interest halfway through the movie: See how often Aaron Taylor-Johnson appears on the left half of the screen.

Another Lars von Trier's Godzilla scenario would be:

Godzilla is a depressed creature living hidden away from society. Someone discovers him and it isn't long before there's a large group of people already planning on how to make money off of him fighting other creatures in an arena.

When Godzilla refuses to fight, the humans try to kill it which only ends in their own demise.

It did somewhat contradict the earlier stuff about radiation, though, no? Because, assuming that's the typical Godzilla 'atomic fire breath', it'd technically be feeding those other creatures with more energy.

Looked nice, but I remember thinking that when it was going on.

Also a little odd that Godzilla seemed to receive no visible wounding damage, whatsoever.

It's a 2 hour Godzilla movie with like 30 minutes of Godzilla. And half of that he's obscured and the camera keeps cutting away. Every time you almost get a good shot of him, nope, onto something else. It adds nothing to the movie and leaves you feeling like Godzilla was almost an afterthought in his own film.

I don't think that's it, Aspie. I read numerous reviews where the critics complained that in a Godzilla film you would at least expect a majority of the action, when it does come around, to feature him and it didn't.

SiL, didn't you say that the MUTOs were featured more than Godzilla himself?

Sounds like the cut-aways are the main problem. I can't say that sounds very exciting, especially since a lot seem to happen after the 'big reveal' so that sounds rather awkward.

But that's what Edwards does, focus more on the human drama and play it off the rare monster glimpses. However it sucks that there have been a lot of comments on how weak that aspect is as well. What a bummer.

They are. And even when the fighting happens, it's more about them than him. He really only becomes a presence in his own movie during the last half of the last fight.

Indeed! You're the only person I've seen who didn't think there wasn't enough focus on Godzilla (not to say you're wrong or anything, if that's how you felt I envy you :P). He rocks up 40 minutes in then pisses off for the next half hour. Not surprising people feel a li'l cheated :P

I think it's down to how the film felt for me. As I've stated I got a real Heisei vibe and some of those G films from the 90's G isn't the focus, he turns up mainly in the third act to set things straight. The only problem I had was the title of the movie, change it to Mutos v Godzilla and they'd have hit the nail on the head.

Aspie, imagine this. You're tied to a chair. Your head is restrained. There's a beautiful woman. She starts stripping. Then she walks around to your side, and you can't turn your head to see. You know she's there. You can hear her. Feel her. And if you just moved your head, you could see her. But no. She stays there, just off to the side, and for the next hour she only kind maybe comes into your peripheral vision.

However all this time there's a fat dude. A fat dude with a sense of humour. He's telling jokes. It's cool. But he's also stripping. Right in front of you. The whole time. He's always there. Telling jokes. Stripping. It's funny at first, but as more of his clothes come off, you really, really just wish you could turn your head the fraction of an inch to see what you actually came here to see.

That's what the creature action in this film is like.

After my second viewing I realised how much Godzilla is in the film, either swimming or on TV screens. It's a strange way of playing with the character; keeping a calm feeling while you watch him swim only to have the feeling towards the character change rapidly as he rises from the water, (or whenever he makes landfall.)

And from the beginning I was hoping there wouldn't be a crap ton of monster vs monster action. I'd imagine it get boring/redundant after a while, it usually does. That's more suited for a climax, which it sounds like what happens. As long as the MUTOs cause a stir before Godzilla comes into play, this sounds wonderful to me.

I was also hoping to not be inundated, but it's not handled well. They build up to his full body reveal ... then show it ... then cut immediately to something else.

It cuts to silence a kid asleep only to wake up to a ridiculous news report that happens to be real. Elizabeth Olsen's character's reaction is perfect; she's lost for words just as the audience is meant to be.

Well, even if the logic is meant to be Godzilla's 'over-feeding' that one at the end, the one it just 'breathes' against a building (as cool as it looked) should have just been getting stronger, right? Or at least feeling high...

And Godzilla did receive visible wounding damage.

I remember Godzilla acting like it was feeling woozy, but couldn't make out any actual injuries. We saw one administer at least a pretty big bite, but it's like it super-healed or something. Plus, all that slashing with those sharp raptor-like talons should have made Godzilla look like it's been through the wringer. When Godzilla makes a proverbial come-back, it looked no different.

Sounds like the cut-aways are the main problem. I can't say that sounds very exciting, especially since a lot seem to happen after the 'big reveal' so that sounds rather awkward.

But that's what Edwards does, focus more on the human drama and play it off the rare monster glimpses. However it sucks that there have been a lot of comments on how weak that aspect is as well. What a bummer.

It's not so much that Godzilla is cut away from, it's the frequency of it.

In fact, the first big, major confrontation which happens between Godzilla and an enemy? Where you'd typically expect to see a big pay-off of the actual fight? The violence and destruction you're paying to watch? Doesn't happen... Like, at all.

Spoiler
Godzilla makes an angry face and they puff up in readiness, then it cuts to a little boy watching it in news footage on his TV and his mother telling him to switch it off. I shit you not. It felt like it was going to cut back to the actual fighting, but it doesn't.
[close]

The problem with that is that the vast majority of your paying audience is going there with expectations of getting to see shit going down. It can be tastefully obscured, but if you keep getting denied even that much, you sort of feel cheated.

There's a time and a place for that kind of teasing, but if you make it clear that something major is about to occur, it should really be shown. In a disaster movie, you'd expect to see the earthquake/volcano/meteor strike, not just segue over to the immediate aftermath.

For all the talk of being 'Jaws'-like, we get to see Jaws' actions. In 'Jurassic Park', the Rex is hidden, but we see the goat's carcass and then there's the reveal and it pays off spectacularly. If 'Godzilla' were 'Jurassic Park', we'd see the characters asking where the goat is, then cut away to Lex and co in the trees. That's the problem here.

Doesn't mean there isn't any destruction shown. There is and when it happens, it's particularly huge. It conveys the sense of scale really well. It's just that there are times when you sort of go, "Wait... It's over?"

And, honestly? None of that would necessarily matter if almost the entire cast of characters weren't so f**king bland. Even in a superficial creature feature, the human characters should be there to tie you over between the 'wow' moments. They need to be charismatic or otherwise compelling or you lose interest and they come over as the filler they are. Cranston's great, but everyone else... You won't remember them. Movies like 'Jurassic Park', 'Jaws' and 'Independence Day' are great examples of how to do that well.

I think some people will dig it, though. It's not, like, a bad film. Just not what many were hoping for. People will watch it and be looking around the corner for next year's big hopeful.

I think it's down to how the film felt for me. As I've stated I got a real Heisei vibe and some of those G films from the 90's G isn't the focus, he turns up mainly in the third act to set things straight. The only problem I had was the title of the movie, change it to Mutos v Godzilla and they'd have hit the nail on the head.

>UPDATE: I hope that made sense I've drunk a lot of absinthe tonight ha.
I think something like that could've helped. Godzilla does mainly rock up at the end of those movies, but he's usually a focus during them and gets a lot of love whenever he's around.

Quote from: Aspie on May 15, 2014, 11:25:51 PM
The limited Godzilla action sounds perfect to me.


One of the MANY complaints I had with '98 was the shit ton of "Godzilla" we had. It was non-stop.


Showing restraint regarding a 350 foot gorilla whale sounds sexy as fook, I'm hoping for dem quick teases and then the big BOOM in the last 5 minutes.
Aspie, imagine this. You're tied to a chair. Your head is restrained. There's a beautiful woman. She starts stripping. Then she walks around to your side, and you can't turn your head to see. You know she's there. You can hear her. Feel her. And if you just moved your head, you could see her. But no. She stays there, just off to the side, and for the next hour she only kind maybe comes into your peripheral vision.

However all this time there's a fat dude. A fat dude with a sense of humour. He's telling jokes. It's cool. But he's also stripping. Right in front of you. The whole time. He's always there. Telling jokes. Stripping. It's funny at first, but as more of his clothes come off, you really, really just wish you could turn your head the fraction of an inch to see what you actually came here to see.

That's what the creature action in this film is like.


Who would be the fat joker in this case?  :P


And from the beginning I was hoping there wouldn't be a crap ton of monster vs monster action. I'd imagine it get boring/redundant after a while, it usually does. That's more suited for a climax, which it sounds like what happens. As long as the MUTOs cause a stir before Godzilla comes into play, this sounds wonderful to me.

You're hoping it's a fat Adam Sandler huh lol

The movie does centre around the people more then the monsters, however the only person you follow is empty and on his own most of the time with no more then a minute or two of on screen interaction with anyone besides his father who was underutulized. With that disappointment the hope for redemption lies in monster brawls, and they happen... just off screen. At least until the end and then there's only two or three good moments.

Whenever the monsters are on screen they are just walking around or swimming the majority of the time.

Aaron's character never comes out and says so.. but the reason he keeps voluntering for all these missions at the end is CLEARLY due to his anger. i liked how that element was understated as f**k. No big "I'M GONNA GET MY REVENGE!!!!" speech... we know instinctively why he does things.. and that's enough.

It was the shot of Brody collapsing on the boat shattered followed by the shot of Godzilla falling shattered from fighting that caught my attention. Brody saves the city by removing the bomb, kills all the Muto offspring; Godzilla kills the two mutos and is called the savior of the city. Godzilla has (in the past) played the part of personifying the human rage quite literally. Brody disables bombs and to an extent Godzilla does too. It's subtle but I believe its there.

Not really, I think it's dopey indeed and a fad but it can be used in an incredibly artistic manner, they specifically put certain objects in foreground and others in background, there's interviews on it I believe but it's this really strange effect where the 3D elements are there even in 2D but 3D does add a layer of appreciation in this case.
At least I think so.

Just got back.

Underwhelmed would be the over all feeling for the movie as a whole. But parts of it were down right CLASSIC. Over all the tone was great but I just didn't connect with the characters. Or they just weren't allowed to interact with each other enough or something. I kept feeling like they needed to treat it as an assemble piece and let even the minor characters some breathing room.

Special effects were terrific and very effective. Music was fantastic. Acting was (for the most part) very good.

The story was simple but took too long to get rolling (for as simple as it was.)

Full theater. Giggles at when the word "Gojira" was used ... and again, the second time.

Thunderous applause when ...

Spoiler
Godzilla used his atomic breath.
When Godzilla killed the male muto with that devastating tail whip.
And the second time Godzilla used his atomic breath.

And again when the credits rolled. 
[close]

The film felt mostly flat ... like a typical Toho Godzilla film ... with moments of greatness ... but over all much better looking/acted and handled. I wasn't blown away ...

I felt like the audience were waiting ... fidgeting ... losing interest before Godzilla showed up. But that is the power of the Godzilla character/brand. All is forgiven at the end. Huge smiles and sparkly bro eyes for the guys. Lost, vacant looks on all their girlfriends.

Lots of sequel talk on the way out. Heard the words "Dude. Mothra. Kick Ass." A lot.  :laugh:

I just got back. And... well... yeah, I absolutely loved it.

Were there issues? Of course, but I didn't care, because what worked, worked so well that it made the film. Certainly 12 year old me would love this.

One thing that I adore is something so many people hate. You know what? I think the fact that it holds back, the fact that it takes its time and shows restraint is one of the prime reasons it works.

We live in an age of casual magic, and we get bombarded by so much action and impossible imagery that we can't be wowed by that anymore. A giant monster battle, rendered in CG glory, in and of itself does nothing for us, especially if it's taking itself seriously. What this movie does is remind us that this kind of stuff is not mundane. It teases it out, giving us bits but delaying the gratification. Maybe that pisses some people off, but for me, it just heightened the suspense. We all know we are heading towards something. We all know there's a destination, and when we hit it, it will be huge. And when it finally happens, and when we get a good look at it, what could have been a predictable "oh, yeah, okay, we got to the climax, it's over now, let's compare it with similar films" becomes a breath of relief, a moment of exhilirating catharsis.

Just because you can throw something at the audience doesn't mean you should, and by withholding, Gareth made something worth seeing.

It's counterprogramming to the modern blockbuster, and it reminds us of what it feels like to be in awe.

Were there issues? Of course, but I didn't care, because what worked, worked so well that it made the film. Certainly 12 year old me would love this.

One thing that I adore is something so many people hate. You know what? I think the fact that it holds back, the fact that it takes its time and shows restraint is one of the prime reasons it works.

We live in an age of casual magic, and we get bombarded by so much action and impossible imagery that we can't be wowed by that anymore. A giant monster battle, rendered in CG glory, in and of itself does nothing for us, especially if it's taking itself seriously.

See, I didn't mind that. Scenes like that grounded the story in reality. It's so easy to make monsters, but it's harder to make them occupy real space. The humans, their surroundings, the casualties, the survivors, all of these made the larger-than-life stuff seem real.

Ditto for the rest of the cast. I will be honest here, the humans in and of themselves aren't all too interesting. Cranston is, but he's not the star. Taylor-Johnson is an uninteresting character. His acting is fine, but he doesn't have all that much to run with on the character front. However, Taylor-Johnson in the context of the film, I believe, is mighty interesting, because he serves a function beyond 'hero'. It's not a personal story-- he has no flaw he needs to overcome, no inner need. But he takes us through these events and plays an active role, and I kind of love that we got to see a Godzilla movie through the eyes of the small people. In these movies, soldiers are disposable cannon fodder, unless they're piloting giant robots. Utilizing the perspective of an expendable archetype was an inspired move, I think.

Eh. She's interesting because she's psychic.

Thing is, in a lot of blockbusters, when characters are uninteresting, it's usually cynical. The story needs a hero, so plug and play. I didn't get that sense here. This story could have been unanchored by a human cast, because its main conflict is larger than that. Instead, there's the conscious decision to tell the story from ground level, and that's what the humans are for.

The best analogy I have is Brad Pitt in World War Z. He's not really a character so much as a point of view. That could be taken as a slight, but in a movie like this, where the experience is key and the point is the scale of the devastation, I don't really think it matters.

I wouldn't say that was convenient. He was yanked around to all these places specifically because that's where the monsters were. Sometimes they came specifically for him.

I dug how competent Ford was. He never really breaks down. Less interesting as a character, but more admirable as a human being.

The females in this movie didn't have much to do. It's a shame, though I didn't get the sense they were marginialized on a gender level. Not like some movies out there.

I was seriously taken aback by just how little of Godzilla was in this movie -- I thought people were exaggerating.

He has less screentime even than Bryan Cranston. And that's saying something.

I have to agree. Credits rolling as I speak.

There really wasn't much Godzilla in this Godzilla movie. It's very disappointing. WAY too much human drama. I was really hyped up for this movie but all the negativity in this thread did make me lower my expectations. So I wasn't disappointed because my expectations were too high. It really felt exaggerated to have this much human plot. I know they're important but I'm here for Godzilla.

But in the few scenes Godzilla did come out, he was done justice.

Do expect 1 hour and a half of human problems and maybe like 30 minutes of actual monsters though.

7.5/10.




I think I liked Pacific Rim better, sadly.

Just got back.

Underwhelmed would be the over all feeling for the movie as a whole. But parts of it were down right CLASSIC. Over all the tone was great but I just didn't connect with the characters. Or they just weren't allowed to interact with each other enough or something. I kept feeling like they needed to treat it as an assemble piece and let even the minor characters some breathing room.

Special effects were terrific and very effective. Music was fantastic. Acting was (for the most part) very good.

The story was simple but took too long to get rolling (for as simple as it was.)

Full theater. Giggles at when the word "Gojira" was used ... and again, the second time.

Thunderous applause when ...

Spoiler
Godzilla used his atomic breath.
When Godzilla killed the male muto with that devastating tail whip.
And the second time Godzilla used his atomic breath.

And again when the credits rolled.

The film felt mostly flat ... like a typical Toho Godzilla film ... with moments of greatness ... but over all much better looking/acted and handled. I wasn't blown away ...

I felt like the audience were waiting ... fidgeting ... losing interest before Godzilla showed up. But that is the power of the Godzilla character/brand. All is forgiven at the end. Huge smiles and sparkly bro eyes for the guys. Lost, vacant looks on all their girlfriends.

Lots of sequel talk on the way out. Heard the words "Dude. Mothra. Kick Ass." A lot.  :laugh:

Since I have a headache from the 3D and I need to sleep urgently,  my thoughts are very muddled. But we have almost the exact same experience with the movie. Down to the applause .

So how do we feel about the MUTO's? :P

I actually ended up quite liking them as movie monsters.

I'd rank them slightly above Gyaos. :P
I actually loved their design. Appropriately alien and imposing, pretty demonic, kind of scary. I didn't get the sense that they were easy pickings for Godzilla, either-- the flying one, maybe, but the giant female? That was a tough bruiser.

I do see the Gyaos connection. This movie did remind me a ton of the Gamera trilogy-- giant ancient monsters wreaking havoc, and their predator rising from the depths specifically to dispatch them.

The MUTOs were great everybody complains there wasn't enough Godzilla and that may be true.  We get plenty of screen time of the MUTO's though and they keep you entertained until Godzilla shows up.

The flying male does have the advantage of maneuvering behind Godzilla where he can't get him. And they really stuck those pincers to him.

Annoyed that the cool choral cue that plays when they first find the MUTOs in the mine and later at Janjira isn't on the score album (as are a lot of other good cues, typically frustrating Desplat album release :P).

Also noticed that a lot of Desplat's cues toward the end were edited in the film so that some of the most dramatic parts were removed.

Yeah, they did walk and fly a lot, but what monster movie doesn't have the monster walking and destroying stuff. That's all the Cloverfield monster did in his film and no one complained about that.

At least stuff was actually going on when Batman wasn't there. A lot of the human stories just felt like filler. Every time a human scene would end, I found myself PRAYING it would go back to Big G or the MUTOS. My prayers were unanswered for nearly an hour.

TDKR was fantastic without much batman. This movie was just boring, looking at big bugs for 45 minutes walking around/eating/making out?... watching humans for 45 minutes, nearly 1/2 of which was centred on characters with less then 5 minutes screen time so there's no connection to them at all.

So, here's a question I'm curious about.

Suppose Godzilla makes some bank. And it's critically well received, generally. (A high 70something% on RT is not something to sneeze at.)

What is the future of the franchise?

I sort of see this being the fulfillment of the aborted '98 plans. Originally, that was supposed to lead to sequels, but they got jetisoned, and Toho took over with a new series of films.
I fully expected that if this were to flop and bomb critically, Toho would try that again and we'd get more Man in Suit movies. But since it's well received and likely to do well financially, what are the odds that Toho would try again in their low budget manner as Legendary churns out sequels?

I don't think Toho will make any more movies as long as Legendary does well. Weren't they planning on stopping for a while before 98 came out? i forget the details.

I don't hate it, but it was mediocre. Sometimes I feel like I throw the word "awesome" around a lot, but I couldn't bring myself to call Iron Man 3 awesome. Unlike Cap 2.

But that's way off topic. I can call this movie a good movie, and Godzilla's scenes are certainly awesome, but I can't really say that about the film as a whole. Just my thoughts.

So hows it going here? I've been reading lots of average reviews about how people think its OK but not as good as they hoped for.

Problem is I think many folk are expecting it to be like PR with lots of fighting monsters and destruction...hence a lot of average reviews coming through.

End of the day its a Godzilla flick and people wanna see Godzilla mash stuff. It seems this film doesn't have that and its not winning people over as expected.

In all honesty even though I haven't see it, I do feel they have taken the realistic approach too far and maybe should have relaxed and had more fun with it. This film sounds very much like 'Cloverfield' to me.

So hows it going here? I've been reading lots of average reviews about how people think its OK but not as good as they hoped for.

Problem is I think many folk are expecting it to be like PR with lots of fighting monsters and destruction...hence a lot of average reviews coming through.

End of the day its a Godzilla flick and people wanna see Godzilla mash stuff. It seems this film doesn't have that and its not winning people over as expected.

In all honesty even though I haven't see it, I do feel they have taken the realistic approach too far and maybe should have relaxed and had more fun with it. This film sounds very much like 'Cloverfield' to me.

lol too realistic is dis niqqa serious... its ridiculous, how many people in my showing laughing there arses of at how silly it is at times

I'm not too sure if I understand the dialect you are communicating to me in but...the film seems more like a Cloverfield approach when people may have been expecting Pacific Rim but without robots.

Godzilla

Liked it, didn't love it. I'm too tired to write a legitimate full-blown review, so I guess I'll just say the following: Godzilla himself was cool, especially at the end. He did feel like an awkward third wheel at a lot of points though. It feels weird saying it, but I actually found the M.U.T.O.S.s to be more interesting and fleshed out than the big guy himself. I wish that there was more of Godzilla just being Godzilla, smashing buildings and such, but I will say that his atomic breath was really great. That got a big smile out of me.

The characters were serviceable, I guess, but hardly anything special. Cranston's character, over the top as he was, was definitely my favorite of the bunch (and one of the most fun things in the movie, to boot). Olsen (good looks aside) didn't really do anything for me, and Taylor-Johnson did fine despite some awkward lines, I just wish that he didn't undergo all of his development in the first act or so.

A lot of the time the movie seems dark for the sake of being dark. I understand that it was trying to go for what the original did, but I guess that the "dark and gritty"  summer blockbuster mentality brought on by this post-The Dark Knight world just isn't working for me unless the film really justifies it. I think Godzilla worked better when it was emulating Spielberg.

I sound really negative with everything I wrote above, and I really don't mean to. Like I said, I enjoyed the movie a lot, I just felt that it could have been more. I could really see Edwards' passion for the project shining through, and all the potential for something great was there but it was kind of buried and awkwardly presented. The movie was fun, and I'm sure I will watch it again. I'll probably even buy the Blu-ray. The film was gorgeous, for the most part, and had some truly great moments. It just didn't come together as well as it probably could have. I guess, at this point, I'm mostly just wondering what kids are going to think about it, and whether it will capture them the way the last sixty years of Godzilla films captured the generations before them.

I liked it. It's very entertaining while maintaining a restrained feel much unlike other recent blockbusters. Still, I wish there were more Godzilla scenes... it would probably take away some satisfaction from the final fights but it definitely feels like you spend way more time with the MUTOs.

I don't agree with the Heisei comparisons... this is more like mid to late Showa with a dash of Millennium (recapping Godzilla's origins, the more angular design, etc.). It's definitely the movie I wanted to see in 1998 and I think it's a great introduction for kids and others to get into the series. And of course a sequel is more than welcome!

So while this isn't top 10 material within the franchise it's still very good and a worthy 'honorable mention.' Here are some reviews I think are worth checking out...

This is easily within the top 10 of the entire franchise. Of the 28 original films, most of them are crap.

The consensus is it's a big dumb blockbuster about giant monsters trashing shit, and whether this garners positive or negative reviews largely comes down to people's tolerance for that.

And despite what Rong asserts, but never explains, it's nowhere near as f**ktarded as Pacific Rim gets.
Title: Re: Godzilla
Post by: Gilfryd on May 16, 2014, 07:05:11 AM
People will say it's one of the best (or worst, whatever) no matter what, especially while it's still 'fresh.' Even if it is one of the top 10 it's very low on that list. Other entries have integrated the main draw (you know, Godzilla) into their plots better than this.

That said though it's easily better than the later Heisei films and Tezuka's three Millennium flicks. And it really should go without saying it's infinitely better and more respectful than GINO and Final Wars. But the films by Honda, Tsuburaya, Ifukube and Tanaka still reign supreme, their work in the 50s and 60s in particular.

Anything after Destroy All Monsters certainly loses a sense of scope and grandeur from the slashed budgets but they still manage to tell their stories in a satisfying, compact way. Even with more time and money most of the Heisei/Millennium films weren't able to accomplish that, aside from the 80s films and GMK. The Showa series benefited greatly from filmmakers who could make movies outside giant monsters even if most of them were stuck in that genre.

Space Kaiju?
Mecha Godzilla?


I don't see it getting as crazy as Mecha Godzilla. Just too impractical. But I could see an gritty take on Independence Day turning into a Monster Zero scenario that ends up like Destroy all Monsters.

I think Pacific Rim and Godzilla 2014 are about on the same level. They're very different but hit the same beats that work for me. I do wish the fad of obscuring monsters with rain, fog, etc. and giving them extra limbs and glow-y parts would end, though... I understand you can do anything with CG but less is more. Godzilla and a lot of the other classic monsters have stood the test of time for a reason.

As for a sequel I think anything like giant robots or alien invasions should be avoided. I would really welcome any classic kaiju like Mothra and Ghidorah to Anguirus and Varan. I did like the MUTOs so more new creations would be cool too. Just give Godzilla more screen-time!

They're both inherently dumb films, but the difference is Godzilla makes its rules and sticks to them. It has a logic it follows. The characters don't suffer from sudden onset retardation for the sake of a "cool" scene which doesn't make any f**king sense. Pacific Rim makes rules, ignores them, and spends most of its runtime with everyone and thing acting like incompetent idiots for no other reason than to set up the next "cool" set piece.

And nothing I'm saying has anything to do with Godzilla taking itself seriously. It could've been camp as f**k, but so long as it still stuck to its own standards like it did it still wouldn't be as stupid as Pacific Rim.

Hell the MUTO may have caused the meltdown but it did in a way clean up the mess. There was a lot to learn from them and I'm sure that they were trying to figure it out. Of course when faced with destruction there was no choice but to kill it? Maybe the environmental message is that instead of killing it out right we tried to study it, thus allowing it to reach it's mature phase?

- In the first 90 minutes every time Godzilla and the other thing are about to fight the movie cuts away. Is that Kaiju-Minimalism? Very annoying
- Bryan Cranston underused
- Bad pace. Many lenghts. We don't need to keep seeing the soldier's wife be worried him or see the tenth military briefing scene.
- The best scene of the movie was the scene that you have already seen in the trailer with the skydiving soldiers
- Boring and forgetable

However, I did like Godzilla in this movie...all 10–12 minutes he's actually on screen in this 2-hour long film. I really can't recommend this movie. It's like Predators. The filmmakers clearly understood the concept and the monster but they did next to nothing with it. Just playing it save. Keeping it calm and uninteresting. They didn't make a horrible movie but it's clearly not a good movie either. I'm not gonna give this a pass or sugarcoat it just for the visuals and some cool moments here and there. People are mad at Roland Emmerich's Godzilla but at least in his movie stuff happened, it had a better pace and it didn't take itself so serious. Gareth Edwards' Godzilla is not the giant monster masterpiece we wanted. It's the incarnation of mediocrity.

And I still Don't see why monsters are inherently "Dumb." Do concepts have IQ points?
Giant monsters are inherently dumb because they can't exist, and to accept them in a movie involves ignoring reality and accepting whatever explanation, however stupid, the filmmakers give you.

It's not necessarily a bad thing. Monster on a spaceship movies are pretty inherently dopey, too, but Alien is still a futching masterpiece.

Calling a movie dumb because it contains something that can't exist in the real world is dumb.

It applys to literature too, or pretty much anything ficticious.

Pacific Rim has characters doing dumb things, but it's not a dumb movie for having giant robots and monsters.

No, it's like calling the concept of a portrait containing someone's personal evil silly. Which it kind'a is. But it's also kind'a cool, and really, really well done in the story.

QuotePacific Rim has characters doing dumb things, but it's not a dumb movie for having giant robots and monsters.
It's a dumb movie because it explains giant robots and monsters in dumb ways and spends the movie doing dumb things.

A movie can rise above a concept that's silly. A story can execute a silly idea in such a way that you don't realise it's kind'a silly until much later, and even then you don't care because it was pulled off so well.

Godzilla and Pacific Rim really aren't those sorts of films, but. They're silly concepts that are happy to have silly explanations. It's just one goes off the deep end and the other wades neck deep.

I repeat it's not actually an insult to say that the concept of a story might be inherently silly. There's no reason to be getting defensive, I'm not attacking anything :P

Except Pacific Rim. As much as I enjoyed that film, it was moronic.

They're both inherently dumb films, but the difference is Godzilla makes its rules and sticks to them. It has a logic it follows. The characters don't suffer from sudden onset retardation for the sake of a "cool" scene which doesn't make any f**king sense. Pacific Rim makes rules, ignores them, and spends most of its runtime with everyone and thing acting like incompetent idiots for no other reason than to set up the next "cool" set piece.

And nothing I'm saying has anything to do with Godzilla taking itself seriously. It could've been camp as f**k, but so long as it still stuck to its own standards like it did it still wouldn't be as stupid as Pacific Rim.

There wasn't much laughing by the people in the theater I was at. Godzilla nuclear breath did get a few boners from fanboys but it was mostly oh, wow, moments. I was generally impressed by the scale of the monsters. However I missed the serious tone the film was trying to make. Perhaps it's bad when nature makes a tsunami killing thousands of people but no one notices that if it is made by Godzilla?

Oh and a lot of scenes from the trailers were not in the movie. They'll probably be in the blu-ray though. :P

Post by: Nightmare Asylum on May 16, 2014, 01:21:35 PM
So I got some sleep and now I'm thinking about my "review" from six or so hours ago, and while all of my sentiments still stand, I still feel like I was a bit hard on the movie. Like I said, it wasn't bad, per say, there was just a lot wrong with it. Dark tone aside, however, it feels like it would sit very well alongside the Toho films in terms of content and style ('dem wrestling-esque monster fights).

Some Godzilla purists are going to hate me for this comment (and probably stop caring about my opinion on the subject from this point on) but I think this movie probably works best as a companion piece of sorts to the 1998 film, even though it clearly tried to be the Godzilla movie that that one couldn't. Both films had their problems, but both also had elements completely evocative of the Toho movies. The buildup to Godzilla's first appearance felt more natural in the 1998 films (I always loved that scene where he attacks a boat at the start of the film), but this films take on Godzilla definitely feels more in line with what came before. The 1998 movie did a respectable job showcasing the destruction from the point of view of an interesting lead character, which the new movie could not do very well after the first thirty minutes (I'd say why, but spoilers). This one instead, however, had a great sense of scale (during both the monster fights and the general destruction sequences) that was missing in the 1998 film.

Godzilla

Liked it, didn't love it. I'm too tired to write a legitimate full-blown review, so I guess I'll just say the following: Godzilla himself was cool, especially at the end. He did feel like an awkward third wheel at a lot of points though. It feels weird saying it, but I actually found the M.U.T.O.S.s to be more interesting and fleshed out than the big guy himself. I wish that there was more of Godzilla just being Godzilla, smashing buildings and such, but I will say that his atomic breath was really great. That got a big smile out of me.

The characters were serviceable, I guess, but hardly anything special. Cranston's character, over the top as he was, was definitely my favorite of the bunch (and one of the most fun things in the movie, to boot). Olsen (good looks aside) didn't really do anything for me, and Taylor-Johnson did fine despite some awkward lines, I just wish that he didn't undergo all of his development in the first act or so.

A lot of the time the movie seems dark for the sake of being dark. I understand that it was trying to go for what the original did, but I guess that the "dark and gritty"  summer blockbuster mentality brought on by this post-The Dark Knight world just isn't working for me unless the film really justifies it. I think Godzilla worked better when it was emulating Spielberg.

I sound really negative with everything I wrote above, and I really don't mean to. Like I said, I enjoyed the movie a lot, I just felt that it could have been more. I could really see Edwards' passion for the project shining through, and all the potential for something great was there but it was kind of buried and awkwardly presented. The movie was fun, and I'm sure I will watch it again. I'll probably even buy the Blu-ray. The film was gorgeous, for the most part, and had some truly great moments. It just didn't come together as well as it probably could have. I guess, at this point, I'm mostly just wondering what kids are going to think about it, and whether it will capture them the way the last sixty years of Godzilla films captured the generations before them.

TOTALLY agree with this review.

Quote from: Bat Chain Puller on May 16, 2014, 06:20:47 AMI will say ... if this was Godzilla/Batman Begins I can't f**king wait until Godzilla/The Dark Knight.

Wrote a better written review:

So having actually gotten some sleep and being able to think about it a bit, I guess I finally understand how I really feel about the new 'Godzilla' film.
I like it, but there is a lot wrong with it that really hinders it from being truly great. I guess I'm kind of biased in one direction or the other because, as a kid, I grew up loving all of the Toho efforts despite, or perhaps because of, how utterly ridiculous they are. In some ways the new film feels like a love letter to that particular audience that grew up with the Japanese films, especially at the end, but on the other hand it also feels like it's trying to attract the Chris Nolan "dark and gritty" summer blockbuster crowd. Those are two very different approaches, and the end results are very, very mixed. The movie is a blast at the moments when it strives to be fun, but there are also so many glaring issues with the film that just make me scratch my head and wonder why they didn't give the script another rewrite or two. And a complete overhaul in the main character department.
I guess I'll start with Godzilla himself. This is an excellent take on the big green guy. Whenever he is on screen his presence is most definitely felt, both in the film itself and in the audience. When Godzilla steps on a building you feel it. When he roars you are blown away. He has some truly jaw dropping moments, especially during the climactic final fight. That being said, throughout a lot of the film Godzilla actually feels kind of like an awkward fifth wheel. The focus is on the (admittedly much more interesting) M.U.T.O. creatures much more than it is on Godzilla himself, who just kind of seems to be along for the ride. If you have ever seen the 1973 film 'Godzilla vs Megalon' and remember how much more the film focuses on the Jet Jaguar robot than Godzilla himself, you'll kind of get what I'm saying about this movie (although the tone of this and 'Godzilla vs Megalon' are as different as different can be). I find myself wishing that the film gave the opportunity to spend a bit more time with Godzilla so we could just watch him do what he does: smash buildings, lay waste to cities, and look awesome and terrifying while doing it. There is,however, a particular moment during the final battle that I absolutely love (not going to spoil it, but I'm sure if you've seen it you know what I mean). During that moment I was smiling like an excited five year old. I'm smiling right now just thinking about it.
As far as human characters go, Bryan Cranston's Joe Brody is definitely the most interesting and entertaining of the bunch. That being said, he is only a supporting character, and the film deals much more with his son Ford, played by Aaron Taylor-Johnson. Taylor-Johnson is fine in the role, I guess, but it isn't a particularly demanding part. He undergoes all of his development in the first thirty minutes of the film and spends the rest of the time running around trying to take down the monsters. His wife Elle (Elizabeth Olsen) is just kind of there, as is Ken Watanabe's Dr. Ichiro Serizawa, whose presence is a very cool throwback to the original 1954 film that ultimately amounts to nothing.
I mentioned how, in terms of tone, the film walks a fine line between dark modern blockbuster and campy Godzilla classic. I think the movie is most effective, however, when it is trying to emulate Stephen Spielberg. The pacing of the film and the buildup to the reveal of the titular monster is very similar to 'Jaws' (heck, the main family's last name is even Brody, which had me thinking of 'Jaws' the entire time I was in the theater!), and some shots look almost as if they were copied straight from 'Jurassic Park.' Even the use of children in the film feels very Spielbergian. The homages are pretty nice, though, and have me almost wishing for a bit of a brighter and less foreboding take on the film.
Looking at what I wrote above, I feel as though I have been really hard on the movie, and I don't mean to be. I enjoyed 'Godzilla' quite a bit, but there are definitely things that just didn't sit well with me while I was in the theater. I will say, however, that most of the problems that are present in this movie are also present in the majority of the films in Godzilla's expansive sixty year history. Look at any Godzilla film after the original classic (and, perhaps, 2001's 'Godzilla, Mothra, and King Gihdorah: Giant Monsters all Out Attack'). You aren't going to find well written characters or intricate plots. You're going to find actors running around doing things buying time until the real stars, the rubber-suited monsters, appear on screen and fight each other with their awesome form of wrestling-esque combat and lay waste to everything around them. When this film finally builds to the point where it can do that without shying away and cutting the camera to Aaron Taylor-Johnson's blank expressions and half-smiles, it really does deliver. There's kind of a lull before the film really allows itself to get to that point, but when it does it delivers and feels very much in line with Toho's body of work.

It's only natural for everyone to compare these two films. While watching G2014 I was only reminded of G1998 a handful of times and those beats were the same beats that while watching G1998 reminded me of Jurassic Park. So they are sort of drawing creatively from the same well I think.

G2014 could have benefited from having more diverse characters I think. They just weren't allowed to do anything at a stretch. Gareth had the actors to pull this off where as Dean and Roland didn't. Which is a crime.

I completely agree with whoever on here said that the build up to Godzilla was better in 1998 than in 2014. In 2014 he is just sort of there and everyone sort of accepts it. There is a lot of mystery surrounding G in 1998 and I like that for an introduction to a giant monster.

This was a good movie, but it had flaws holding it back from being a great movie. For the sequel they need a better screenwriter than newbie Max Borenstein. Someone like Frank Darabont doing the script would do wonders for it and more focus on Godzilla would erase most of the complaints from this movie.

I disagree. Maybe because I'm a fan and I'm used to disproportionate monster/human drama.  :laugh:

Gareth was right. It did play out sorta like Jaws ... but ... no interesting characters. But Godzilla is no animatronic shark. He's pay off is bigger and bolder than anything else in recent memory.

I would have preferred the Cranston character to become the "Quint" of this film. Taylor Thomas the "Chief Brody" and Ken Watanabe the "Hooper."

So basically everyone I know think this sucked, and that Pacific Rim was better.

It most certainly didn't suck. It was average (at least) for the genre. It did some things wrong and it did some things right. What it did right was very VERY right. Kids will most certainly love Pacific Rim more than Godzilla. More flashy and smashy. Instant gratification. Godzilla is a marathon with a big pay off.


He said the moments with Godzilla are great but it doesn't make up for bland characters we follow through 70% of the film.

I disagree. Maybe because I'm a fan and I'm used to disproportionate monster/human drama.  :laugh:

Gareth was right. It did play out sorta like Jaws ... but ... no interesting characters. But Godzilla is no animatronic shark. He's pay off is bigger and bolder than anything else in recent memory.

I would have preferred the Cranston character to become the "Quint" of this film. Taylor Thomas the "Chief Brody" and Ken Watanabe the "Hooper."

Well honestly a giant monster film has to do one of two things to be great,
if it's playing the "fun" angle, it needs to be everything Pacific Rim was. Spectacular to look at, good popcorn flick.
If it's playing it serious, I need to care about the characters most of all, then the plot and realism.

To me it sound like Godzilla 2014 failed at both and I'd be better off watching the original.

To the question of why did godzilla show up, it seemed to me that he had heard the MUTO mating call, and since he and the MUTOs are natural enemies, he had to put a stop to that. And otherwise, he's perfectly content to stay on his own.

It's a dumb movie because it explains giant robots and monsters in dumb ways and spends the movie doing dumb things.
Jesus christ this is getting old. It's not even as close to as dumb as you try and make it sound.

For what it is (a comic book-esque giant monster battle movie) it's approached and explained with more care than any movie like it in history. The development of the Jagers is great. The technology and the drift and how they're shown making it is great. The toxic blood and black market is great. Even the stupid sea wall with people going "EOHRR THAT"S SO DUMB." Not f**king really. Are you even aware that politicians have done things much dumber than that in actual reality trying to solve problems?

It's perfectly plausible. The scenario gives you more than enough reasons to buy it without too much trouble. It's tongue-in-cheek, of course, but so is the entire f**king concept.

Tired of debunking this bullshit argument.

Gonna catch the G-man tonight, and I'm looking forward to the monster minimalism. ;D A lot of my friends love it because of it's careful use of the monsters. I'm sure I'll find it a refreshing change in this atmosphere of bloated CGI overuse and cartoon melodrama.
Title: Re: Godzilla
Post by: Alienseseses on May 16, 2014, 05:31:46 PM
I posted a review in the comments on io9.

QuoteI'm of two minds about the human characters in this movie.

On one hand, yes, they aren't particularly developed. Ford has a goal, sure, and the stakes are just as high as the monsters are, but he has no inner conflict, no character flaw, no personal need. (At least nothing that plays into the story.)

On the other hand, I'm not sure this matters here. The humans exist in this story to lend context, to give perspective. They take us through the movie, guiding us to the major events. In a sense, Ford is comparable to Brad Pitt's character in World War Z, a person without a personal journey, a character that fulfills a purpose and nothing more. And, in this movie more than that one, I think it works.

It also helps that Ford is hyper-competent and intensely active throughout the story, and it's also impressive that they kept the focus on the kind of stock character that would generally be considered cannon fodder in these movies. He's a soldier, doing his job, doing it well, and that's that. He keeps the movie grounded in reality so that the monsters share actual physical space with their surroundings.

And boy, those monsters. What great designs, what great motion. It's been forever since I've actively felt the size and scope of such creatures. It's fascinating to note that almost every single shot of the monsters in this movie is grounded by perspective or detail: we are either seeing it through a human's eyes, or there's a human in the foreground, or there's something else small in the foreground. The MUTOs look great and have personality, and Godzilla says so much while saying so little. (Actually, personality-wise he reminded me of a mix of Animated Series '90s Godzilla and '90s Gamera. An interesting thing about Godzilla as a character in the long running series of films is that he is inconsistent— a villain, a hero, ambivalent, he's been everything. This movie firmly plants its flag as a logical continuation of what we've seen Godzilla do before.)

Edwards excells as a visual director here. I'd argue a dramatic director too, as the actors all fare impressively with their admittedly thin roles, but I'm more impressed with how he tells the story visually. I'd love to see a shot count and compare it to the shot count of a comparable blockbuster. There are no frills here, no wasted shots or split seconds intended simply to add frenzy. What's more, the camera stays steady. No added shakiness to induce artificial excitement. This is one of the most visually coherent blockbusters on this scope that I've ever seen.

The biggest divide between critics, I think, is the use of witholding. Personally, I loved it. We live in an age of casual magic, where filmmakers bombard the audience with impressive vfx stunts until we are no longer impressed. Edwards sidesteps the Law of Diminishing Returns here, and increases the cathartic power of the climax, by holding back. For a giant monster movie, this shows incredible restraint. The action is obscured, sometimes through a filter (the TV reports), sometimes by yanking away our viewpoint (the closing doors). I'm sure this bugs people. I know it does, because I've heard the complaints. All it did for me was increase the anticipation. Big Things were happening, but Big Things happen in every major blockbuster now, usually from start to finish. And how does one differentiate between one Kaiju fight and another without simply ramping up the chaos and destruction, something which could be numbing? The answer, it seems, is to limit what we're privvy to. At the end, when our perspective has no choice but to remain focused on the clash, we are ready, and what could have been run-of-the-mill action becomes impressive. There's a palpable sense of awe once more, and I think that in and of itself is worth the wait.

This movie is Godzilla, through and through. It could fit right in with the rest of the canon and rank among the best of those films. It might lack the solemn metaphorical power of the original (but then, so do nearly all of its sequels) but this stands tall above the majority. It may not be perfect— I didn't mind the somewhat flat characters in this context, but I wouldn't have complained if they'd have been meatier roles— but god damn, I loved it. I feel like a 10 year old again.

Pacific rim is not better. Pacific rim is just a ridiculous but fun ride. Godzilla 2014 tried to be more... You could really tell edwards wanted this to be the jaws of this new generation. He did a lot of things right, but falls flat when it comes to his human characters and the handling of Godzillas presentation.

Even if i'm gonna get flame for this: the presentation of godzilla in 1998 was way more on spot, as weak as the rest of the movie was.
A tease, more tease, moore tease, godzilla is here, shit goes down.

Here its more like: muto, a tease, godzilla, muto and godzilla, muto, a tease, godzilla, tease, etc etc

It just doesn't paint a coheisive picture.

But yeah the end rocks... I still feel like a child when thinking about that last fight... But after sleeping the effects off my first viewing, i still am left with mixed feelings.

Execution wise the only thing that really worked for me througout the entire film without any problems, where the mutos, i still think they are kickass and better than any of those pacific rim kaijus

I think people aren't used to there not being a human hero to a movie. Lets face it, Bordy was an EOD and all he could do was point a boat towards the ocean. No super human strength to pry open the bomb case and deactivate it with 1 second left on the timer. There was no military heroics aside from his aerial rescue and good old team work to carry the device to the boat, which took well over an hour. When I think about it that is realistic heroism.

In any case Godzilla for reasons of his own squashed the two MUTO's. Did he do it to save humans? Probably not. We pretty much blend in with the landscape as best as an ant colony does. Hell Godzilla probably though our bullets and missiles were akin to being bitten by ants. :P

The characters were bystanders and the military was portrayed as being competent and trying logically to address the situation at hand. The movie did a real goo job at that. However maybe people prefer the big stoopid army instead or the invincible Schwarzenegger types.

It's possible that approach could have been good, but I have huge doubts.  "Jaws" develops into a triple buddy film against a monster that is capable of being killed.  "Godzilla" here ostensibly wants to make a statement that Mankind is nothing in the face of nature.  It's supposed to be a Where Is Your God now, ultimate statement, as spectacle entertainment.

Terry Gilliam has criticized Spielberg films as, "A man can do what a man can do!" simplistic optimism, and I don't want that from this film, and it would basically spit in the face of the original intent.

Why they're bothering with a neural connection to the Jaegers in the first place is never explained. It made sense in Evangelion, in Pacific Rim it's there because it's cool. And then the whole "We're in each other's heads with each other's memories" thing is ignored at plot-critical points like remembering there's a giant sword strapped to your wrist.

Godzilla would have unleashed his atomic breath from the start. Animals don't fight the way we do, they engage to do maximum damage as quickly as possible.

They also don't restore balance, and taking out the mutos considering in supposed ancient times the world was dominated by them, isn't really restoring balance it's wiping them out, restoring balance would have been wiping out a about 4 billion humans.

It's as silly as pacific rim is, Godzilla is supposed to be a more serious film.

Yeah... One of the first red flags I got about it. I didn't want to see a monster movie devolve into soldier-escorts-orphan-child-through-ruins thing, but resolving that part so quickly seemed to render it pointless. Speaking as a writer, it felt like a scene which had been altered from something bigger, but left over from an earlier draft.

Poor, poor Sally Hawkins. One of the greatest actors of her generation, reduced to rattling off some exposition at a table and then trailing after Ken Watanabe for the rest of the movie, looking worried.

The female characters in this were pathetic.

Except the female MUTO. Lulz.

It's strange... I remember a lot of fan-boy reaction when Olsen got announced as featuring in this, along the lines of fnar-fnar-fnar, eye-candy phworness. But I'm sitting there, a heterosexual male film-goer and I see Olsen's character and my only reaction is, "OK, pretty wife stereotype. Blah-blah-blah..."

Then I notice the science dude's assistant personage and I don't know why, but her face is oddly compelling. Has a Clea DuVall/Sarah Silverman thing going on. And she doesn't have much to actually do, but every time she's on screen, I kind of want her to and don't quite know why. Just get the feeling she'd be capable of a good performance.

So, I go home, check up who she was and... Damn. Talented lady. It suddenly hits me where I've seen her act before.

It's like Claire Danes in 'Terminator 3' or Kate Beckinsale in 'Van Helsing'. Getting them some exposure and extra money, but they deserve better.

I'm sure she found it fun and, as an actor, you generally leap at any chance you get for decent employment. Still, though, it's disappointing seeing someone's talent being squandered.

Quote from: Blacklabel on May 16, 2014, 04:01:49 AM
So how do we feel about the MUTO's? :P

Like I said in my review, uninteresting. They're like a couple of staple-removers glued together with the Kraken's head stuck on, from that 'Clash Of The Titans' remake. They're serviceable, but more like the kind of thing you'd want as secondaries, scaled down to raptor size and running around like a vicious attack dog thing. But even then, they wouldn't look as interesting as the man-hunting crustaceans from 'Cloverfield'.

There's even a point in the movie where it's almost as if the writing team are aware of how generic the design was. Where something happens and the scientist guy says there's something else on the way... Something bigger/more terrifying/whatever. And then...

Particularly amusing is the way the crowd cheers on Godzilla's departure (Sally Hawkins' character even seems close to tears), complete with headlines about the thing being a hero, but it's obviously trampling dozens/hundreds of people under foot as it goes out to sea. :)

So basically everyone I know think this sucked, and that Pacific Rim was better.

It's like comparing the last two 'Terminator' films: One does things right the other gets wrong and vice versa. Neither, on their own, feel as good as they could/should have been.

If you want a monster movie which takes itself seriously with an attempt at giving a dark tone, go for this one. If you want 'Power Rangers', go for the other. Both have absolutely ridiculous stories and, with the exception of maybe one or two characters, their casts are equally forgettable.

If you're just going for sheer visual spectacle, then 'Pacific Rim' wins out. If you want lots of demolished rubble with some ominous foreboding, then this does.

In all honesty, I'd say that if you're just wanting the best monster fight with some subtext thrown in? Save your money. Go and rewatch Jackson's 'King Kong'. Giant apes aren't interesting to me, creature design-wise, but in retrospect, the climactic Kong-versus-Rex battle in that out-classed the fight stuff in this and 'Pacific Rim'. More vicious and emotionally thrilling to watch, I'd say (the rest of that movie can be hit-or-miss, especially when not at Skull Island, but that part's effective).

In any case Godzilla for reasons of his own squashed the two MUTO's. Did he do it to save humans? Probably not.

That part puzzled me. There wasn't even any implication of Godzilla wanting to eat them. It's like Sil said, you just get the impression he/she/it shows up to be the neighbourhood bully, because all the other primordial world kids are no longer around to beat up for their lunch money.

MUTO 1: "Oh, honey... We finally made it! We can have our honeymoon together! The chances of our genders surviving... It's astronomical, but we beat the odds!"
MUTO 2: "I know! It's like fate! Destiny, almost! Baby, I want to get romantic..."
GODZILLA: "HEY, MCFLY... MCFLY...!"
MUTO 1: "Oh, God... It's Biff. He's followed us back to the future..."
MUTO 2: "Save me, George!"

QuoteThe characters were bystanders and the military was portrayed as being competent and trying logically to address the situation at hand.

God, no... The military was portrayed as incompetent as f**k. Almost as bad as the '98 one was.

Hit the nail on the head. It was worth the annoying wait in line, expensive as hell theater food and all those extras that just wanted to see their .005 seconds of fame on screen. It was even worth sitting through the 20 minutes of ads and trailers and that annoying, put you 3D glasses on, take your 3D glasses off, put your 3D... you get the idea. :)

Spoiler
In the movie, Serizawa never said that the nuke would make them stronger or flat out wouldn't work right? I remember him just being indecisive about the whole idea before blurting out it didn't work before. To which the army guy said those were just kiloton bombs, this is megatons.

Also as far as the mutos size I took it that the female was so much larger because she was placed inside of Yucca Flats and had all the nuclear food she'd ever want. Where as the male had just 3 cores to mooch off of.

Spoiler
That was the most obvious one. I don't remember it even being clear as to why they were doing that (all the talk seemed to be about wanting to encourage Godzilla to hunt down the other thing), but the strategy of waiting until the thing came up to point-blank range, then launching missiles, of all things... I won't even go into the obvious stuff, like how they'd be well within minimum launch range, but they didn't realise they'd miss? What about their guns? Torpedoes? Actual stuff they could have fired at range? And what if it had just carried on swimming underneath them? No submarines? No mines? Why were all the ships bunched up tightly together like that, virtually begging to be sunk? They already knew how huge the thing would be. Why didn't they scatter by the time it got within, say, about a mile?

So, let's go even further back. Their big idea is to send a couple of transport helicopters (not even gunships) in at close range with... Machine guns? To order the infantry on the roofs to open up with tiny little assault rifles? Why are the jets even ordered to fly that close to it?

It's all very Hollywood. No attempt at realism. 'Splosions for 'splosions' sake.

Then they let the things march, unimpeded, across Nevada... Where's the constant barrage by artillery? High-flying bomber strikes? Why aren't the jets staying out of visual range and shooting missiles, so that it won't realise to do an EMP blast? Or even just launching unguided rockets and dropping 'dumb' bombs, if they're paranoid enough to think it's constantly putting out an EMP (which they'd know it wasn't)?

As superficial as 'Pacific Rim' was, at least it made a point of acknowledging a giant f**k-off-sized monster would be getting permanently hit from all sides, 24/7.

But let's ignore their inept actual combat planning. They decide to lure the things with... A nuclear bomb on a train? An unarmed train which isn't getting any kind of escort, let alone satellite coverage. Quite how or why it's meant to be luring them in, isn't explained (if it was kicking out that much radiation to be sensed for hundreds/thousands of miles away, those soldiers would be dead) and nor is why they choose to transport a huge missile, rather than just the warhead (nor why that specific missile would lure them in, as opposed to the thousands of nuclear weapons and radioactive waste all over the US). Now, that plan goes awry, for obvious reasons and then... We see them doing what they should have, from the start and air-lifting the thing by helicopter, proving the entire train sequence was pointless.

And, of course, nobody bothers trying to shoot out these things' eyes, use corrosives or inject them with toxins. Nor setting traps by way of strategic fires, landmines (conventional, nuclear or otherwise) or anything like that. The military decides to either use really dumb tactics which clearly won't work or sit back and do nothing, even when the things are lumbering through Las Vegas, killing or injuring unknown numbers of civilians (who should have been getting evacuated, the moment they could predict where the creatures were heading).
[close]

If all you want is for the military to act like it's in a Saturday morning cartoon? That's what happens and they not only get predictably trashed as a result, but fail in their primary duty of protecting the civilian population from destructive carnage.

But that's the problem. We were meant to be getting a film which was going to do away with being superficial, weren't we? Which tried to go in the opposite direction to the '98 production?

It's the same problem with zombie apocalypse movies. If you have the military act as anything other than inept and actually using its full array of destructive tools, the zombies lose. The only way you can have them win is either for ineptitude to rule the day or for other, more unpredictable factors to come into play.

For zombies, it should be that they're just a by-product of something which already wiped out most of civilisation. For 'Pacific Rim', it should have been portals opening up at completely random locations - sometimes right in the middle of cities and it's a known plot-hole that they don't have that one location constantly mined and patrolled by submarines. Films like 'Cloverfield' take account of this by having the large threat lumber around, but escorted by hunting packs of man-sized things getting unleashed along the way, hampering all military efforts in the urban environment - and even then, it acknowledges the military would soon get the upper hand if there's just one of the things (technically, air power should have had that occur much quicker, but giant fictional monsters could always be given the ability to bury and tunnel).

'Godzilla'? We're effectively shown a small number of massive targets which are just being allowed to roam free without constraint. So, to let that take place, the military ends up either looking inept, dumb or just plain neutered for reasons unknown.

Again, if all you want are 'splosions and cool visuals, there's nothing wrong with that. Have fun! :) But the military is pretty much incompetent in this film and serves no other function than to say, "Destroy us, pretty please." It's just a little disappointing the writers couldn't be more imaginative, in that regard.

Saw this movie last night and to be honest I left the film feeling rather disappointed. It wasn't a bad Godzilla film. Godzilla looked great, and I got pumped whenever he arrived, but I feel like the trailers sold me on a different movie from the one I saw. The trailers to Godzilla, at least for me, gave the sense that he was the unstoppable force to be reckoned with, but as we find out in the film, the real threat are these new creatures. They don't look bad and are threatening, but what happened to the bleak disaster movie where Godzilla was the primary focus? Godzilla just seemed to be hanging in the background most of the time.

As others have said, not having Godzilla as the primary focus, really requires the human element to be dramatic and focused, which it was at first, but eventually the attention shifts into your basic military vs monster film. It was at this point the film also did something I find really obnoxious when done in other films, which is having one main character somehow become involved in all of these important events, like they were Forest Gump or something. It really took away from the gritty and realistic tone the film seemed to start with.

It was messy, all over the place and lacking in a lot of areas, but overall I did get enjoyment out of it. As I said, I really got a kick out of Godzilla, and was somewhat glad the director was able to hold back on using him. It's just if Godzilla had been the primary monster for most of the film I think the film would have fared better overall.

My guess is that the studio wants the film to be entertaining to adults, but their real demographic is kids. They wanted Godzilla to be menacing, but not a villain or overtly horrifying monster, and by the end of the film Godzilla is basically a hero and a nice new franchise for them to work off of. I'm OK with that, but it would have been better if the marketing material (minus the Asia trailer somewhat) had supported that.

Like Predators, I think my initial disappointment will fade and I'll grow to like the movie more. I get the feeling this film is going to do gangbusters so hopefully they'll improve upon this reboot in the sequel.

The humans were along for the ride and relied on luck to even get anything done. There was no overcoming adversity or anything like that. This besides nobody having personality is why I don't like the movie. At the very least they could have manipulated the beasts into fighting each other when they realized they couldn't take the beasts out themselves. Nothing. So, I awaited an entertaining monster brawl to compensate for the other shortcomings and there was only three moments that were good.

This movie went through a crapload of writers which is why some people may have some issues with it. For a sequel, I think Rodan and Anguirus can work.

The consensus seems to want to see old adversaries return in later installments. Why not just go with all new creatures? Since this Godzilla isn't exactly a retcon or a reboot it would be good to see him have a rematch against some old foes within the confines of maybe one sequel, but there are so many great and underutilized creature designers out there that could probably whipped up some new and nonetheless iconic monsters for many sequels to come.

PR succeeded in doing what it set out to do imo; so it's better. The original Gojira is a million times better and infinitely more meaningful than PR and this film. Never desired to see G98 -can't comment on it being better or worse.

Spoiler
Godzilla (2014)

*This review contains spoilers. Not that those matter, because this is a movie about giant monsters fighting, and who gives a f**k about anything else*

This is a worthy entry in the long pantheon of Godzilla movies, as despite its immense budget and lengthy production, it fits quite comfortably with the vast majority of its predecessors in the series.

By which one means to say that it is a film of deadly dullness, suffocating under the weight of a terrible screenplay filled with dialogue of the utmost lowest common denominator simplicity (all the better to translate smoothy to lucrative foreign markets), dribbling out of the mouths of disinterested actors who mostly stand around in control rooms, looking at screens and making vague, declamatory pronouncements.

The principle difference between this new entry and its fore-bearers, however, is that this new Godzilla lacks any sense of fun. The principal charm of Godzilla movies (after you suffer through the initial half hour of rote, irrelevant character drama -- and then suffer through the additional half hour of it interspersed with the precious oasis of monster action in the last two acts) is watching the anthropomorphic man-in-suit monsters enact their wrestling grudge matches amidst the ruins of elaborately constructed miniature sets. The irony of these films is that the real human drama shining through comes not from the wooden human actors, but from the spontaneity and larger than life performances put across by the suit actors, somehow managing to make the leap through layers of latex to celluloid. Replace that with meticulously pre-planned, minutely designed computer recreations and you completely lose that sole spark of human interest.

It didn't necessarily have to be like that. Gareth Edwards has assembled a bountiful clusterf**k of talent in front of the camera, but then forces them to slum it in service of a plot so spiteful of personality that it murders off the only two identifiable sources of authentic human emotion within the first act: Juliette Binoche (within the first five minutes) and Bryan Cranston (within the first half hour), leaving us stranded for the next hour and a half with what may be the blandest, most charisma-free leading performance in the history of blockbuster cinema: Aaron Taylor-Johnson's Ford, a vacuum of unnervingly blank facial expressions attached to the immaculately beefed up body of a GI Joe-meets-GQ model. Ford is the ultimate prototypical movie cypher -- he has no thoughts or feelings, and conveniently happens to be at the scene of every monster attack in the film through the magic of screenplay contrivance. What's more, his plot armor is so thick that it seemingly warps screen reality around him to kill off every other character but himself in every set piece that he stumbles into. Woe to be a fellow soldier in proximity of Ford, for the body count he leaves in his wake dwarfs even that of Angela Lansbury in Murder She Wrote. Woe also to be a relation of his, for the ultimate motivation of the monsters in this film seems to be to f**k up his family (I imagine the sequel being a kind of Jaws IV: The Revenge -- his last name is even Brody!), going so far as to conveniently converge on his home town of San Francisco and even coincidentally menace his adorable young son, who somehow manages to end up on the exact bridge that Godzilla destroys the instant he arrives in town.

Edwards seems to be trying to channel Spielberg of Jurassic Park vintage (Count the obvious references! The opening shot resembles the helicopter flight to Isla Nublar! The male MUTO uses two of its claws to test a wire enclosure before ripping it down! A bus driver wipes off his window just like Ian Malcolm as heavy rain pelts his vehicle to get a better look at the dino carnage!), even stuffing the first act with quickly forgotten Daddy Issues nonsense that is then immediately forgotten once Cranston bites it. In the end, Edwards only manages to end up approximating the Spielberg of that stupid, wrong-headed War of the Worlds remake, complete with shameless appropriation of modern real world disaster imagery (the recent tsunamis! Fukushima! 9/11! THIS IS RELEVANT, DAMMIT!), cheap scenes of Cute Kids in Peril (two at once in the initial tsunami/airport attack scene!), and a predictable family reunion. The emulation of other (better) movies doesn't stop there, of course: the soldiers advancing on the MUTO in a jungle is lifted virtually wholesale from Shusuke Kaneko's dazzling Gamera 3 (still the apex of the entire giant-monsters genre, getting right everything this film and the rest of its ilk get wrong), and the film's otherwise impressive HALO jumping scene is set to the absurdly pretentious-in-context musical choice of Ligeti's Requiem, one of the most iconic pieces of music from the most iconic scene of the most iconic genre film of all time, 2001: A Space Odyssey (why not throw in Also Sprach Zarathustra while you're at it?). Even more ludicrous is the beginning of the scene, in which a soldier calls upon the Baby Jesus to bless them all before they jump down to run amidst the ankles of a giant lizard and a pair of battling bugs. America f**k yeah, indeed.

So after years in development and hundreds of millions of dollars spent, Hollywood has done again what it did the first time it remade Godzilla: waste immense resources of talent and finance on a concept the Japanese have done for decades at the exact same level of dubious quality, at a severe fraction of both the time and cost. At least the Alexandre Desplat score is good (though he's certainly no Ifukube).

Just got back, and was happily surprised. I'm certain that a lot of people will really enjoy, maybe even love, this film, even a lot that aren't normally fans of the genre. It's not monster-porn, it's *gasp* an actual film.

Spoiler
I think the 'not enough Godzilla' complaints are very similar to the fanboy remarks that make movies like AvP:Requiem see the light of day. Gareth Edwards, in my opinion, hits an almost impossible balance between destruction, monster porn, and human drama that's simply a miracle to see coming from Hollywood today.

In this day and age of excessive, bloated, out-of-control motion pictures where the camera goes up and down and inside and along the back and through the eye and follows the missile and underground and screaming and oh my god, Edwards did what I knew he was going to do, and he gave us some of the most beautiful monster shots I've ever seen, from an absolutely human perspective.

That's relentless in this film, and he did the same thing in Monsters. The impact of the thing from a human point of view is the main focus, and it helps not only to establish an eerie, helpless atmosphere, but it puts the monster in the proper context, which is not some SFX device to sell toys and throw on the screen in every conceivable camera angle to showcase the mediocre CGI that you, the short-sighted director, think looks so good. It's to show them tear-assing around our world, and what it would feel like to be us trying to face such an impossible, horrible thing.

The cut-aways were superb. Trolling the juvenile wieners as hard as he could while still delivering an incredibly well made film. :laugh: Edwards is approaching legendary status with me considering how he handled such a daunting, daunting task while staying true to his roots and maintaining the direction and emotional, and visual, impact of his film. He's a mature director and I hope he gets so many jobs his head spins after this. Let him go do what he wants until he burns out and is gobbled up by the unstoppable Hollywood sausage machine.

_-= Go ahead and take a breather. Grab a soda. I just kept on typing =-_

The monsters looked amazing. Them Mutos (I actually liked them better than Godzilla, barharhar) and the shots of them were great. For being such an odd design, they looked incredibly organic, and primitive, on screen. Their behavior was also very convincing as animals, something you hardly ever see. I got plenty of monster-on-monster action to satisfy me, and really did feel like it was just enough to not get exhausting or boring.

I have a lot more to say, but I was very happy with the film. :P It felt quite different from Pac Rim. Not as fun, but not as comic-book either. If you want to have serious face, you run the risk of getting too Nolan and feeling pretentious with a wacky, unreal subject. Again, Edwards handles this with jaw-dropping grace as he constantly intermixes very human moments which are, frankly, perfect when they happen. The kid watching the TV, the school bus scene, I mean these moments bring almost a sense of humor to this insanity which is exactly what would happen. It's part of the whole 'disaster' element in some ways, like how people will burst out in laughter under circumstances of sheer, insanity-inducing terror or grief.

I didn't mind the occasional ineptness of the military and sometimes goofy tactics, because we've been laden with so much Michael Bay military porn, where everything gets so real and cutting-edge and puckered butthole perfect cold military operation shit that it's like a recruitment commercial gone wrong. Number one, movies have a long history of not portraying the military with absolute perfect accuracy, and it's almost tradition with monster films, and number two, again you invite a human element, such as when we see the Navy just sort of following through the water right net to Godzilla, that gives the military more charm that it would have in the sterile, perfect ass launch 400 cruise missiles from 3,000 miles away modernism that would dominate IRL. You need that charm to stray away from Michael Baylitary porn. Edwards, of course, rode this line like a f**king cowboy, showing us excellent military hardware and scenes while not getting too 'be all you can be' with it.

_-= Still hanging in there? I'm proud of you. Almost done. It's like the dentist =-_

ATJ did fine in his role. News flash folks: military personnel aren't especially known for their excessive personalities. :laugh: He had some great scenes just being the 'oh shit' character, and his acting was fine considering he was surrounded by much stronger performances. Cranston, as usual, was phenomenal, and I was really impressed by that third-wheel Olsen twin too. Her scenes had some sharp emotion to them that helped carry blank-face Johnson.

Ken Watanabe's role is fine as well. Considering he's pretty much watched everything happen from the beginning, and knows damn near everything about it, his unbroken expression of pants-shitting awe is perfectly fitting. The nature lines are a bit cryptic and kind of goofy in a naturalist sort of way, but who cares? It doesn't interrupt the flow of the movie or clash with the character. At that point, most anyone with a fair amount of intelligence, thoughtfulness, and responsibility towards the issue might be getting a little mystical watching three prehistoric God-monsters coming out of the Earth to face punch each other. It was a great mix of "I knew about this, I may be responsible for this, what the hell am I supposed to do about this? Let's get existential," lol.

One last bit, the soundtrack is just delicious in the film. I haven't felt so creeped out by a soundtrack married to such great directing, cinematography, and FX in a good long while. It really caught that almost laugh-inducing "wtf is happening" element to it, and was almost whimsical in many ways. Bravo.

I could go on, but enough for tonight. There was a woman in front of us who kept on hacking like satan every ten minutes. :laugh: Other than that, astounding film and I hope we get more like it. I loved it, and my wife who's an infinitely more cynical critic than me, also loved it. Edwards has a talent and a passion that needs to continue in our derp-ass generation.

It's all very Hollywood. No attempt at realism. 'Splosions for 'splosions' sake.

Then they let the things march, unimpeded, across Nevada... Where's the constant barrage by artillery? High-flying bomber strikes? Why aren't the jets staying out of visual range and shooting missiles, so that it won't realise to do an EMP blast? Or even just launching unguided rockets and dropping 'dumb' bombs, if they're paranoid enough to think it's constantly putting out an EMP (which they'd know it wasn't)?
You know it's funny but the director went to military HQ and asked how they would handle the situation and that was what was shown in the movie. People were complaining that this was a movie to show the us military is a good light. Yet this was the way the guys in armed forces said they would approach the situation.

And no, the army in zilla98 were utterly f**king morons. :P

Logistics ain't that easy. Yea lets just get a few thousand bombers and a few hundred fighters out there shooting all 6 of their sidewinders or dropping some dumb bombs that the MUTO could just side swipe. Oh and then fly on back to home base, refuel, reload etc etc. All the while having all the expensive gps/satellite/guidance system junk trashed. Oh and there is the politics of detonating a nuclear weapon on us soil. However, they probably did try to do everything you said, it just wasn't shown. To reach the stage of deploying a nuclear weapon would mean they must have threw everything at them including the kitchen sink. They were out of ideas so they improvised with the train.

You thought Aaron Taylor Johnson did well with his mouth breathing performance? :P Seriously, Rage?

His emotions he showed around his father and family were believable. Not the greatest acting in the world, but you can't fault people for acting like people. It was sufficient.

And in the rest of the circumstances, the movie simply wasn't about him. He was just the body carrying us along for the ride. To interject more of his pointless personal drama or ramblings or philosophizing or whatever would've been awkward and out of place. He was there to stare and try and save the city or stop the nuke or whatever.

I just didn't see any room in the script for anything much deeper than that.

And yet his total bland nothingness of a performance is what the camera is fixed on for an entire hour and a half of the runtime that doesn't feature a monster or a better actor onscreen. If that's what you'd rather be focused on in your Godzilla movie, well um, enjoy :P

...he stopped developing after the first act and then just ran from one set piece to the next. Hardly anything special. :P

Cranston's character was so much more interesting, and one of the best elements of the entire movie. He was over the top in a fun way, but tragic when the scene called for it. I would have much rather have followed him for the whole film.

Just got back, and was happily surprised. I'm certain that a lot of people will really enjoy, maybe even love, this film, even a lot that aren't normally fans of the genre. It's not monster-porn, it's *gasp* an actual film.

Spoiler
I think the 'not enough Godzilla' complaints are very similar to the fanboy remarks that make movies like AvP:Requiem see the light of day. Gareth Edwards, in my opinion, hits an almost impossible balance between destruction, monster porn, and human drama that's simply a miracle to see coming from Hollywood today.

In this day and age of excessive, bloated, out-of-control motion pictures where the camera goes up and down and inside and along the back and through the eye and follows the missile and underground and screaming and oh my god, Edwards did what I knew he was going to do, and he gave us some of the most beautiful monster shots I've ever seen, from an absolutely human perspective.

That's relentless in this film, and he did the same thing in Monsters. The impact of the thing from a human point of view is the main focus, and it helps not only to establish an eerie, helpless atmosphere, but it puts the monster in the proper context, which is not some SFX device to sell toys and throw on the screen in every conceivable camera angle to showcase the mediocre CGI that you, the short-sighted director, think looks so good. It's to show them tear-assing around our world, and what it would feel like to be us trying to face such an impossible, horrible thing.

The cut-aways were superb. Trolling the juvenile wieners as hard as he could while still delivering an incredibly well made film. :laugh: Edwards is approaching legendary status with me considering how he handled such a daunting, daunting task while staying true to his roots and maintaining the direction and emotional, and visual, impact of his film. He's a mature director and I hope he gets so many jobs his head spins after this. Let him go do what he wants until he burns out and is gobbled up by the unstoppable Hollywood sausage machine.

_-= Go ahead and take a breather. Grab a soda. I just kept on typing =-_

The monsters looked amazing. Them Mutos (I actually liked them better than Godzilla, barharhar) and the shots of them were great. For being such an odd design, they looked incredibly organic, and primitive, on screen. Their behavior was also very convincing as animals, something you hardly ever see. I got plenty of monster-on-monster action to satisfy me, and really did feel like it was just enough to not get exhausting or boring.

I have a lot more to say, but I was very happy with the film. :P It felt quite different from Pac Rim. Not as fun, but not as comic-book either. If you want to have serious face, you run the risk of getting too Nolan and feeling pretentious with a wacky, unreal subject. Again, Edwards handles this with jaw-dropping grace as he constantly intermixes very human moments which are, frankly, perfect when they happen. The kid watching the TV, the school bus scene, I mean these moments bring almost a sense of humor to this insanity which is exactly what would happen. It's part of the whole 'disaster' element in some ways, like how people will burst out in laughter under circumstances of sheer, insanity-inducing terror or grief.

I didn't mind the occasional ineptness of the military and sometimes goofy tactics, because we've been laden with so much Michael Bay military porn, where everything gets so real and cutting-edge and puckered butthole perfect cold military operation shit that it's like a recruitment commercial gone wrong. Number one, movies have a long history of not portraying the military with absolute perfect accuracy, and it's almost tradition with monster films, and number two, again you invite a human element, such as when we see the Navy just sort of following through the water right net to Godzilla, that gives the military more charm that it would have in the sterile, perfect ass launch 400 cruise missiles from 3,000 miles away modernism that would dominate IRL. You need that charm to stray away from Michael Baylitary porn. Edwards, of course, rode this line like a f**king cowboy, showing us excellent military hardware and scenes while not getting too 'be all you can be' with it.

_-= Still hanging in there? I'm proud of you. Almost done. It's like the dentist =-_

ATJ did fine in his role. News flash folks: military personnel aren't especially known for their excessive personalities. :laugh: He had some great scenes just being the 'oh shit' character, and his acting was fine considering he was surrounded by much stronger performances. Cranston, as usual, was phenomenal, and I was really impressed by that third-wheel Olsen twin too. Her scenes had some sharp emotion to them that helped carry blank-face Johnson.

Ken Watanabe's role is fine as well. Considering he's pretty much watched everything happen from the beginning, and knows damn near everything about it, his unbroken expression of pants-shitting awe is perfectly fitting. The nature lines are a bit cryptic and kind of goofy in a naturalist sort of way, but who cares? It doesn't interrupt the flow of the movie or clash with the character. At that point, most anyone with a fair amount of intelligence, thoughtfulness, and responsibility towards the issue might be getting a little mystical watching three prehistoric God-monsters coming out of the Earth to face punch each other. It was a great mix of "I knew about this, I may be responsible for this, what the hell am I supposed to do about this? Let's get existential," lol.

One last bit, the soundtrack is just delicious in the film. I haven't felt so creeped out by a soundtrack married to such great directing, cinematography, and FX in a good long while. It really caught that almost laugh-inducing "wtf is happening" element to it, and was almost whimsical in many ways. Bravo.

I could go on, but enough for tonight. There was a woman in front of us who kept on hacking like satan every ten minutes. :laugh: Other than that, astounding film and I hope we get more like it. I loved it, and my wife who's an infinitely more cynical critic than me, also loved it. Edwards has a talent and a passion that needs to continue in our derp-ass generation.

I literally almost didn't notice him. Gareth's constant cut-aways to strange other characters and insanely personal camera angles tickle me so. :laugh: I love his directing style, and it was really on display with this film.

At least he displayed some proper open-mouthed reactions by the end. The laying there on the boat scene was nice, because we so often aren't even treated to a bit of basic human reaction after an insane situation like that. Didn't have much to do with the actor, but it was just nice that they slowed it down so the audience could maybe attempt to feel something or form a thought on its own.

Love how Cranston dies and then the film just completely moves on without a second thought to an exposition scene (which is basically every scene -- the characters do not converse, they just say things like "What will Godzilla do?" or "The other MUTO is in Nevada!".) Not a single line of dialogue in this thing has an ounce of wit or interest, and yet the script took over half a dozen writers to come up with? Really?

The shitty dialogue wouldn't be so much a problem if this movie weren't swollen to a bloated two hour runtime, most of it filled with nothing but "Do you have visual? Check my six! I miss you. It's not over til it's over." Ugh.

A concise review (no actual spoilers):

Spoiler
There's usually some connection between what we might think, critically, about a film, a book, a comic, etc., and what we feel about it, whether we love or hate it or something in between. You see a film and think it's well made, and enjoy it. Or you see a film and think it's poorly made, and hate it. Our critical eye and our emotional response are, typically, in some sort of synch.

Then there are films like the 2014 Godzilla.

I could write pages on the film's flaws. Paragraphs could be spent waxing disappointed at the thinly realised characters; essays could be constructed to the rather bizarre decision to make a movie about Godzilla, indeed called Godzilla, feature a rather notable lack of focus on Godzilla. This is a movie about Godzilla in the same way the New Testament is about Judas: he's there, he's important, but to say he's the focus would be difficult to argue.

And yet for all of the film's flaws – and they are, frankly, legion – I found myself thoroughly entertained. None of its problems struck me as so offensive as to impinge on my enjoyment of a movie about giant radiation-eating insects travelling across America to love and mate, inconvenienced at times by trifling military intervention and some hopped up lizard named Godzoola or something. The characters were bland, but not, as far as I was concerned, offensively so. Much of the exposition was limp or somewhat dopey, but nothing out of the reach of your typical giant monster flick.

It's a film which knows precisely how stupid it's allowed to be, and very carefully manages to stay on the right line of it. At no point did I find myself thinking that any scene, any character action, any event, was so moronic as to pull me out of the viewing experience. Which is more than can be said for many other big-budget no-brained blockbusters. "This far, and no further!". Whether "this far" constitutes a good or bad viewing experience, however, is left to the viewer.

It's big, it's loud, dumb fun in the best sense of the phrase. What it lacks in subtlety it makes up for in beautiful imagery and technical achievement. What it misses in character depth it compensates for with monster mayhem. It's almost exactly what it says on the tin – just perhaps replace "Godzilla" in the title with "Giant Insect Monsters Get Lucky".

As a film, on any critical level, I'd have to give it a 4 or 5 out of 10.

In terms of sheer experience value, however, I find it's easily a 7. Your mileage may vary.

Spoiler-fixed Aspie's message to something more kitten-friendly!

Quote from: newbeing on May 17, 2014, 02:56:47 AM
My guess is that the studio wants the film to be entertaining to adults, but their real demographic is kids. They wanted Godzilla to be menacing, but not a villain or overtly horrifying monster, and by the end of the film Godzilla is basically a hero and a nice new franchise for them to work off of.

I think that's more down to its director than anything to do with the studio. Look at 'Monsters'. That aspect was more or less exactly what I was expecting. He's one of those 'the-real-monsters-are-us' story-tellers.

Even the initial scene with the cave-in was meant to reflect that. He's on record as saying he wanted it to open with the crisis arising out of us 'scarring the Earth' or some such environmental awareness BS. Fortunately, that message wasn't ham-fistedly shoved down the viewer's throat.

Quote from: whiterabbit on May 17, 2014, 04:26:03 AM
You know it's funny but the director went to military HQ and asked how they would handle the situation and that was what was shown in the movie. People were complaining that this was a movie to show the us military is a good light. Yet this was the way the guys in armed forces said they would approach the situation.

He may have claimed that, but I've severe doubts he actually listened to them, simply because what ended up on film wasn't realistic. Besides which, there have already been several articles, like this, from actual military personnel on what they'd do and the movie doesn't do anything like it:

https://medium.com/war-is-boring/6d4e32f0e00e

I mean, seriously? He went to actual military folk and asked what they'd do with battleship-sized monsters and their answer was, "Yeah, we'd fly a couple of helicopters up close with machine guns and, like, nothing else." Of course not. He showed that happening because the story wouldn't work if they took the MUTO things out as early as the real military could.

QuoteAnd no, the army in zilla98 were utterly f**king morons. :P

Yes. Yes, they were. The trouble is, they veer between moronic and neutered here, too.

As I say, it's trivial if you don't care about the military aspect, but trying to make out it attempted to handle that angle with anything close to realism is as false as claiming 'Pacific Rim' is a realistic portrayal of AI and genetics.

QuoteLogistics ain't that easy. Yea lets just get a few thousand bombers and a few hundred fighters out there shooting all 6 of their sidewinders or dropping some dumb bombs that the MUTO could just side swipe.

How's it going to notice relatively tiny pieces of metal hurtling towards it at supersonic speed before they hit (granted, Japanese movies do stuff like that a lot, but it wouldn't have worked here)? It wasn't bothered with all the infantry wandering around and there's a part where a helicopter annoys one because it keeps circling with a searchlight full on it. That's a completely different situation. It'd look up and bam... Barbecued MOTU.

You're also forgetting that an actual air strike would be planned to have all weapons hit simultaneously on target. Especially stuff like MOPs, which would just slice right through. Five or so of them raining down, all lasered in on target? Talk about an aerial lobotomy...

QuoteOh and then fly on back to home base, refuel, reload etc etc.

I'm not seeing the issue. 24-hour air campaigns are standard for high-intensity conflicts, going all the way back to World War One. Why wouldn't one be going on on a situation like this? Rotating strike packages is not problematic. Especially with Nevada featuring heavily in this, where you've got entire air bases, like Nellis and Area 51, which could have everything ferried in and out of.

QuoteAll the while having all the expensive gps/satellite/guidance system junk trashed.

No satellites got trashed.

QuoteOh and there is the politics of detonating a nuclear weapon on us soil.

They probably wouldn't need one, as there are plenty of conventional ways to deal with flesh-and-blood creatures, but the option would be there. Especially in-universe, because the headlines were already shown that the government said nuke strikes were being considered.

QuoteHowever, they probably did try to do everything you said, it just wasn't shown. To reach the stage of deploying a nuclear weapon would mean they must have threw everything at them including the kitchen sink. They were out of ideas so they improvised with the train.

Except they didn't. Re-read my earlier message. They did virtually none of what I suggested and the stuff at the Golden Gate Bridge was pure Hollywood fantasy.

Which, again, is fine for most people who want to see this sort of film, but it shouldn't be upheld as anywhere close to how the military would have actually gone about dealing with it.

I'm glad the film wasnt a full on "DEPRESSIVE SHIT IS HAPPENING GUYS!" fest. We get enough sad shit in the first act... then it's fun MUTO HUNT time. :P

what was that silly song in the Las Vegas scene?  :laugh: I liked the lil spilbergian touches here and there... kept the film just light enough.

I agree. Laughed aloud during many parts, Las Vegas funny song scene included.

Speaking of laughter, people for some reason started giggling when Dr. Serizawa says "Gojira" for the first time, and subsequent times after that. What exactly was funny about that line?

As for an overall review of the film, I'm not sure what else there is to say beyond what others have said so I'll add this in. I was just a tad underwhelmed by Godzilla's atomic breath. I wished it was more like a gigantic plume akin to what was seen in, say, Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah or Godzilla: Final Wars. The scene where it's revealed for the first time was really sweet and definitely made sit on the edge of my seat, but the actual effect could've been better.

My biggest beef with the film, even though Xenomorphine already made this clear to me, was the enormous lack of subtext regarding nuclear war. I think the writers really missed the boat on that one, especially since these days, nukes are on every military's mind. Dr. Serizawa I think could've been (and really, should've been) more fleshed out because he's the Nostradamus of the film, if you think about it. I mean, the guy doesn't get that much screentime and when we do see him, he's too busy looking like he's constipated. But like the others characters in the film, there wasn't much in the script for Watanabe to work with.

On the M.U.T.O.s, well, I think it's pretty safe to say that now we have a pretty good idea of what a modern day Rodan would look like.

But SiL, I would agree with an earlier statement you made a few pages back about the film being an 8/10 at best. Also, you were spot on with your quip about two monsters mating while one monster is being an enormous dick about it, lol

PR was dumb yes. But it was more fun.

I mean god I was actually praying for the human scenes to end. For the whole first hour. Then Big G shows up in all his glory and then he's swimming again all of a sudden. No real payoff. Pretty frustrating.

Also somebody had said you can feel the weight of the destruction in this movie? I didn't. I wanted to feel the impact of the buildings falling and the monsters clashing, but there were no sound cues to make me feel that weight. Which Pacific Rim did.

I still liked Godzilla about the same as PR though. Just that first hour drags so much ass.

I loved this movie so much. I sat down expecting a thrill ride, but what I got was a goddamned roller coaster through the heavens and back. I'm going to start with the stuff everyone seems to be bitching about first.

The Humans- I honestly had no problems with any of the acting in this movie. They were all really good, but the weakest one would probably be Johnson. This is not to say that I disliked his performance by any means. Cranston was fantastic as usual and Olsen was great as well. Ken Watanabe was awesome as the enigmatic doctor studying the kaiju and attempting to understand them.

The Plotline- I really enjoyed this narrative. It was quite engrossing and kept me interested to see any new developments on the situation with Godzilla and the MUTOs.

The Monsters- (I'm gonna start with the MUTOs because I loved Godzilla so much in this.) The MUTOs were very fantastic villains. They were terrifying and monstrous. They wanted to take over the world, but they were oddly sympathetic creatures. They were trying to reproduce for the good of their species...but then their natural predator comes into the picture.

GODZILLA.

Holy hell, the first time he was revealed and let out his massive, ear-splitting roar, I came really f**king close to pissing myself with excitement. To say that Godzilla was awe-inspiring would be a gross understatement. I now understand what Edwards means when he says less is more with Godzilla. Godzilla's absence from most of the movie is what truly made his appearances significant. And all of the people bitching about how he appears too little obviously do not understand the meaning of that statement. The final battle was nothing short of exhilarating, and when he uses his atomic breath, it is...well, I'll say it again. AWE-INSPIRING.

Godzilla was an utter and complete thrill ride from start to finish. I wasn't bored for a moment in the entire film and I can not wait to see it again. f**k the haters, this movie was AWESOME.

Of course not. He showed that happening because the story wouldn't work if they took the MUTO things out as early as the real military could.

QuoteAnd no, the army in zilla98 were utterly f**king morons. :P

Yes. Yes, they were. The trouble is, they veer between moronic and neutered here, too.
The army guys were happy with the depiction... however I suppose there is only one way to find out for sure and that would be to get attacked by a giant nuclear beast. lol I do not want to find out though. :P

They weren't neutered. The events from MUTO awaking to MUTO death wasn't much over 48 hours. Maybe they did play a wait and see approach. Sure, there were a lot of casualties in Hawaii, Vegas and San Fransisco, however there are many more lives and cities at stake. I think it is wishful thinking that military would be able to immediately launch such an all out assault as you suggested.

Kind of reminiscent of how we were sold on IRAQ war 2 and how that didn't go over so well even though we had the overwhelming technological advantage.

I didn't find the acting bad. The Brody person was dry but that is how I'd expect the average person to behave. He was there to tag along with the events. Tons of convenient plot connections. However it was pure entertainment. Plus I still do not get the so called serious tones of the film to be honest. There didn't seem to be any thing there. It was fun.

I loved this movie so much. I sat down expecting a thrill ride, but what I got was a goddamned roller coaster through the heavens and back. I'm going to start with the stuff everyone seems to be bitching about first.

The Humans- I honestly had no problems with any of the acting in this movie. They were all really good, but the weakest one would probably be Johnson. This is not to say that I disliked his performance by any means. Cranston was fantastic as usual and Olsen was great as well. Ken Watanabe was awesome as the enigmatic doctor studying the kaiju and attempting to understand them.

The Plotline- I really enjoyed this narrative. It was quite engrossing and kept me interested to see any new developments on the situation with Godzilla and the MUTOs.

The Monsters- (I'm gonna start with the MUTOs because I loved Godzilla so much in this.) The MUTOs were very fantastic villains. They were terrifying and monstrous. They wanted to take over the world, but they were oddly sympathetic creatures. They were trying to reproduce for the good of their species...but then their natural predator comes into the picture.

GODZILLA.

Holy hell, the first time he was revealed and let out his massive, ear-splitting roar, I came really f**king close to pissing myself with excitement. To say that Godzilla was awe-inspiring would be a gross understatement. I now understand what Edwards means when he says less is more with Godzilla. Godzilla's absence from most of the movie is what truly made his appearances significant. And all of the people bitching about how he appears too little obviously do not understand the meaning of that statement. The final battle was nothing short of exhilarating, and when he uses his atomic breath, it is...well, I'll say it again. AWE-INSPIRING.

Godzilla was an utter and complete thrill ride from start to finish. I wasn't bored for a moment in the entire film and I can not wait to see it again. f**k the haters, this movie was AWESOME.

What exactly is not understandable in the statement "too little Godzilla"?

Thay wouldn't even be such an issue if it wasn't for thr fact that Godzilla is treated as a side character.

No, I meant that people don't understand what Gareth truly meant when he described taking the "Less is more" Approach with Godzilla. Because Godzilla wasn't in the majority of the movie, it made his appearances that much more significant. It certainly was that way for me, and to me, it was MUCH better than overexposing us to him.

And Godzilla as a side character? Laughable. He might not be featured for that long in the movie, but when he is, you can tell he's the thing to focus on.

Well I understood what he was trying to do. Something similar to the tension building of Jaws. He failed though. 

ATJ is the main character and the MUTOS are the antagonists. Godzilla is used as a convenient plot device and savior.

You don't actually think Godzilla should be, like, the main character, do you? I mean really?

I thought the movie followed him enough and came damn close to giving him some crazy 'characterization' even though he's literally a giant lizard.

The scenes where he stares at Johnson, and then both collapse on the bridge and in the city.. that was, uh I don't even know. It was strange, but curiously entertaining as well. It's like they were both like 'f**k this, I'm just gonna lay down here for a minute.'

I mean everyone already knows who Godzilla is. An 'origin' story would've failed I think, as too would a straight up 'he's attacking the city' approach, which would have to involve some deeply stupid 'plan' from the humans to try and stop him or whatever, and it becomes the cheesy 'the humans will outsmart you and overcome this adversity, Godzilla! crap.

The monster vs. monster approach was surreal and awesomely executed, and made the humans literally scrambling around the feet of this massive, unstoppable forces of nature trying not to blow themselves up because their big military plan totally flopped.

My review from the Last Movie You Watched thread (no spoilers, only tagged as such to minimize space here):

Spoiler
Highly enjoyed it. The greatest thing that the film accomplishes is its monster imagery and atmosphere, which proves to be equally haunting and rousing. My favorite moments were the ones in which the musical score would drop along with excess ambient noise, and there would be a moment to just take in the fact that what we're watching, from a human perspective, is giant monsters crashing through cities, and at times, colliding violently with each other, which manages to make the destruction they cause in their wake no more excessive than it needs to be.

Each creature's destructive trail is largely based on cause and effect; the flying MUTO lands on top of a building, and it has no time to perch, the top crumbles straight downward and it has to relocate. Godzilla comes to shore and water still flows across the ground inland five minutes later as a secondary detail, and so-on. The destructive, and powerful physics applied to the grounds of destruction as well as the ways in which the creatures interact with them are some of the most attentively crafted CGI set pieces I've seen in any film, going beyond explosions for a purely concussive, mind-numbing effect.

(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2Fz3yzakP.png&hash=00e1672c7ab76388737b175f9b1d47133398c5d4)

My favorite moment in the entire film is Godzilla emerging from the smoke, at a ground-level view from San Fransisco's Chinatown district. The ambient noise doesn't turn into thin air, it's still present, yet it's not at all a bombastic moment. The score twinkles eerily with mere sparing piano notes as Ford looks up at Godzilla, who is looking across at his MUTO enemies. It's a moment that's both oddly dread-inducing and curious. The sheer scope of it is incredible on its own, looking up at a moving mountain of destruction that is truly far away until it bends down and lets out the most deafening and long Godzilla scream I've ever heard to the great effect of a war cry of sorts.

Unfortunately, the moment is hampered by the fact that the King of Monsters is most definitely not here to destroy, only his enemies are. That's right, this is not the destroyer of worlds, but the protector of them, and that is perhaps the film's biggest disappointment. Really, the focus is on the MUTOs and the destruction they're causing, and Godzilla ends up becoming something of a secondary weapon that the military is merely cautious about, even though they aim to destroy him as well. Any destruction Godzilla causes is merely due to his enormity; the tsunami from his massive amphibious approach on Hawaii, tearing apart the Golden Gate Bridge due to a high-impact missile barrage literally smacking him into it (seriously guys, I'm sure he would have ducked under it if you'd have been so kind as to allow him to).

I wouldn't have any problem with the incidental destruction he causes if it wasn't all of it-- the trailers make him seem like he's been shown before, walking straight through whatever is in his path to get to his objective, whatever it may be, but here he moves as nimbly as he can, avoiding as many human casualties he can, and ignoring the military presence that surrounds and fires upon him every chance they get. He starts to feel like the only professional in an office full of asshole co-workers; if he could speak, he'd be laughing nervously, followed by a "okay, but seriously guys, let's just get the job done, alright?"

Godzilla in this film isn't a symbol of dread and impending destruction for humanity, but a savior, and one that needs to be preserved if the world is to be saved against such threatening life forms ever again. Of course, this would be all terribly much more disappointing if the MUTOs weren't interesting, cool, relentless, and competent follies for the world's current ruling species, as well as its ancient defender. For as little Godzilla as we actually had, the MUTOs were monster screen time well spent (the scene on the train bridge in particular being remarkably tense and well shot), threatening to the extent that made Godzilla seem even less relevant and imposing to the rest of the film. By the end, I was half expecting the Japanese boy from earlier to wave and shout 'goodbye' as Piece of My Heart by Janis Joplin plays while Godzilla descends back into the depths of the ocean and Ken Watanabe tells the boy that Godzilla is inside each one of us.

The characters were serviceable for the type of film it was, but none of them all too compelling, despite the hyper-competent cast. The script was played very straight, and the main human focus ends up being Ford, who is the epitome of 'straight man', which manages to not actually be much of a detractor in a film like this. Everybody did there job, and not much more, but due to the screenplay, there wasn't much more that could really be done with it; again, it works for what it is, but more developed and nuanced characters can never hurt.

I'm usually quite good at interpreting thematic relevance, but what I got from this, to do with family, Ford, parenthood, and... Godzilla(?), really just came out much more muddled between long up-close gazes between man and monster than whatever was intended from script to screen. That much was messy, but didn't end up mattering all that much in the end, unfortunate, as it could have added a layer of depth to the film beyond the extraordinarily well-executed visual spectacle... when not cut off by an abrupt shift to unfocused media footage.

Never has there been such a baffling display of monster blue-balls since Otachi's acid-sack in Pacific Rim. The first time a fight is cut off, the first fight that there would be, getting the audience all pumped up in a beautifully executed full-body reveal of Godzilla, the scene cuts away to Ford's son watching the news footage from Hawaii back in San Fransisco to an effect that is almost comedic in essence (it got some laughs from the audience at my showing, which I assume was due to the abrupt disappointment). Ford's son's reaction to the 'dinosaurs' fighting only played into that moment, as he calls over to his shocked and frustrated mother in what feels like a confusing, poorly-timed Jurassic Park III reference (the Jurassic Park visual references in this film are plentiful). The second time this happens, in a changed version of one of my favorite shot from the trailers, I just wanted to cry, my tears having taken the form of the anticipatory precum of my eyes. "Not tonight, I have a headache," Edwards groans groggily as we slowly climb out of bed toward the washroom to furiously finish ourselves off.

On a higher note, my belief that Gareth Edwards would be the man to direct this film held strong and true. Slick camera work, incredibly well-framed and creative monster imagery, a well-assembled design crew, from sets to creatures, to sound, everything is held together with a grand, refined vision of large scale destruction that serves as more than mindless fluff, like what can be seen in any given Michael Bay Transformers movie. It may not be 'the thinking man's' monster movie, but I don't think anybody expected it to be; what it is, however, is a well-performed, directed, and filmed monster movie treat.

It may not be the Godzilla film we wanted, but it was the doomsday creature feature we never expected. Juggling nuclear warheads, attempting to keep track of towering electronically disruptive beasts, and allowing a moment to breathe and stare in awe at the destruction that has been caused in the wake of these titans is near-precisely what I wanted from this film, and it works to a great effect that I'd watch again and again with the volume turned on high. What it lacks in Godzilla and the menace the character generally brings with him, it makes it for in the menace of monsters, while making them more than random destructive machines and worthy additions in the canon of the series. Much obliged, Mister Edwards.

What exactly is not understandable in the statement "too little Godzilla"?

Thay wouldn't even be such an issue if it wasn't for thr fact that Godzilla is treated as a side character.

No, I meant that people don't understand what Gareth truly meant when he described taking the "Less is more" Approach with Godzilla. Because Godzilla wasn't in the majority of the movie, it made his appearances that much more significant. It certainly was that way for me, and to me, it was MUCH better than overexposing us to him.

And Godzilla as a side character? Laughable. He might not be featured for that long in the movie, but when he is, you can tell he's the thing to focus on.

No People do NOT have a problem with Godzilla only being in the movie for 20 minutes... you missed the point. The idea less is more is great! It has worked many times (Jaws, Alien, Predator, Monsters), but it's the execution of Edwards that falls completely flat.

I used the example of jaws just couple of pages back in this thread. In Jaws, the shark is teased multiple times, a fin, a shadow, an eye, a more fins...
And then comes the big reveal in the ocean, shit goes down with a huge payoff. Same with Predator, I mean for f**k sake the Predator is invisible for most of the movie even when he is (rarely) in it. He is teased and teased and then only in the end shit goes down and we see his full glory.

Point being, "less is more" is a great approach that has worked multiple times in cinema history. Why doesn't it work in Godzilla?

Because in this movie, Godzilla is teased, I see spikes, skin, feet. All perfect, great teasing, giving me appetite. Then right after the middle of the film there is his big Reveal... hm ok... that's a bit earlier than in normal films that use this approach, but okay. I guess shits gonna go down now. Now comes the problem. After big Gs reveal, Edwards goes back to showing us spikes, claws, etc. for the other half of the movie. We're being teased all over again. What for? I saw Godzilla. Why would you now go pack to spikes, claws and tail. The pacing then is all over the place and the tension drops.

That's not how "Less is more" works. If Edwards wanted to do that correctly (which I think he should have), he should have learned that from the greater filmmakers he got inspired by.

Me too!

I'm just surprised how much it felt like a Godzilla movie. Whether you think that's a good thing or not, it took itself so earnestly in a time of cynical nonsense and constantly having to wink at the audience I really appreciated something that had the confidence, even in its flaws, to just tell its own story (as procedural as it is). It really felt like an unofficial entry in the Millennium series, definitely the most well made after G2K and GMK. And I can't grasp how anyone could say GINO is as good or better than this.

Also having the mutos in the film from the very get go lessen the impact of when you finally see Godzilla anyhow

I'm just surprised how much it felt like a Godzilla movie. Whether you think that's a good thing or not, it took itself so earnestly in a time of cynical nonsense and constantly having to wink at the audience I really appreciated something that had the confidence, even in its flaws, to just tell its own story (as procedural as it is). It really felt like an unofficial entry in the Millennium series, definitely the most well made after G2K and GMK.

This!

It's a fantastic blockbuster and an excellent entry in the Godzilla series.

Just needed a better title.

What I want to know is, why...
Spoiler
do the authorities take the main two guys to the power plant when they were captured? Can they not go to the nearest city security checkpoint or whatever because of the emp?!? That's awfully convenient that the only guy that figured out these things and his nuclear bomb specialist army son are present at it's birth
[close]

and also
Spoiler
why did the army dudes just let a plane clothes guy just talk his way into their team without a shred of proof of his identity? For all they knew he could be some kaiju fanatic talking his way in to sabotage their efforts.

EDIT:Oh and him saying he knows how nukes work doesn't get him a ticket on the train, but pulling the sympathy card about his family works?!?
[close]

While I'm at it
Spoiler
Why is the son of the survivor of the first ever muto attack in 99 perfectly qualified in fighting them? That's a pretty huge coincidence.
[close]

I have a right to know
Spoiler
why the human plot at the end was even based around a bomb one guy armed has to disarm and then he can't even do that anyway. All the resources put into making the movie could have been put toward making a human element that actually makes a difference besides being an anchor point for the audience to be grounded to while the monsters fight around them.   
[close]

they're hiding something,
Spoiler
the reasons why there is no plan of action addressing the problem of the muto eggs the main character is clearly aware of until the only human character we have to  follow literally decides to do something about them as an afterthought and conveniently has what he needs to get the job done lying around.
[close]

I guess that's what I find annoying most about this film. We are forced to watch one character's experiences during the monster crisis rather then the monsters and he really makes no difference to the outcome of the crisis besides one tacked on moment when he

blows up the eggs

Seems like a reasonable request to me, it all sounds pretty dull from what I'm hearing :/



The other thing I'm reading about more is less...yes that works usually eg. Predator and Jaws etc...but lets remember, this is a film about a ginormous lizard stomping the city. The idea of more is less in this situation is farcical because its about a ginormous lizard stomping the city, you can't do more is less because its a ginormous lizard stomping the city, how on earth can you hide it!!

Jaws goes beneath the waves, the Predator has light bending camouflage, Godzilla...errr is a ginormous lizard that can't hide behind a skyscraper folks, doesn't work that way.

My review from the Last Movie You Watched thread (no spoilers, only tagged as such to minimize space here):

Spoiler
Highly enjoyed it. The greatest thing that the film accomplishes is its monster imagery and atmosphere, which proves to be equally haunting and rousing. My favorite moments were the ones in which the musical score would drop along with excess ambient noise, and there would be a moment to just take in the fact that what we're watching, from a human perspective, is giant monsters crashing through cities, and at times, colliding violently with each other, which manages to make the destruction they cause in their wake no more excessive than it needs to be.

Each creature's destructive trail is largely based on cause and effect; the flying MUTO lands on top of a building, and it has no time to perch, the top crumbles straight downward and it has to relocate. Godzilla comes to shore and water still flows across the ground inland five minutes later as a secondary detail, and so-on. The destructive, and powerful physics applied to the grounds of destruction as well as the ways in which the creatures interact with them are some of the most attentively crafted CGI set pieces I've seen in any film, going beyond explosions for a purely concussive, mind-numbing effect.

(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2Fz3yzakP.png&hash=00e1672c7ab76388737b175f9b1d47133398c5d4)

My favorite moment in the entire film is Godzilla emerging from the smoke, at a ground-level view from San Fransisco's Chinatown district. The ambient noise doesn't turn into thin air, it's still present, yet it's not at all a bombastic moment. The score twinkles eerily with mere sparing piano notes as Ford looks up at Godzilla, who is looking across at his MUTO enemies. It's a moment that's both oddly dread-inducing and curious. The sheer scope of it is incredible on its own, looking up at a moving mountain of destruction that is truly far away until it bends down and lets out the most deafening and long Godzilla scream I've ever heard to the great effect of a war cry of sorts.

Unfortunately, the moment is hampered by the fact that the King of Monsters is most definitely not here to destroy, only his enemies are. That's right, this is not the destroyer of worlds, but the protector of them, and that is perhaps the film's biggest disappointment. Really, the focus is on the MUTOs and the destruction they're causing, and Godzilla ends up becoming something of a secondary weapon that the military is merely cautious about, even though they aim to destroy him as well. Any destruction Godzilla causes is merely due to his enormity; the tsunami from his massive amphibious approach on Hawaii, tearing apart the Golden Gate Bridge due to a high-impact missile barrage literally smacking him into it (seriously guys, I'm sure he would have ducked under it if you'd have been so kind as to allow him to).

I wouldn't have any problem with the incidental destruction he causes if it wasn't all of it-- the trailers make him seem like he's been shown before, walking straight through whatever is in his path to get to his objective, whatever it may be, but here he moves as nimbly as he can, avoiding as many human casualties he can, and ignoring the military presence that surrounds and fires upon him every chance they get. He starts to feel like the only professional in an office full of asshole co-workers; if he could speak, he'd be laughing nervously, followed by a "okay, but seriously guys, let's just get the job done, alright?"

Godzilla in this film isn't a symbol of dread and impending destruction for humanity, but a savior, and one that needs to be preserved if the world is to be saved against such threatening life forms ever again. Of course, this would be all terribly much more disappointing if the MUTOs weren't interesting, cool, relentless, and competent follies for the world's current ruling species, as well as its ancient defender. For as little Godzilla as we actually had, the MUTOs were monster screen time well spent (the scene on the train bridge in particular being remarkably tense and well shot), threatening to the extent that made Godzilla seem even less relevant and imposing to the rest of the film. By the end, I was half expecting the Japanese boy from earlier to wave and shout 'goodbye' as Piece of My Heart by Janis Joplin plays while Godzilla descends back into the depths of the ocean and Ken Watanabe tells the boy that Godzilla is inside each one of us.

The characters were serviceable for the type of film it was, but none of them all too compelling, despite the hyper-competent cast. The script was played very straight, and the main human focus ends up being Ford, who is the epitome of 'straight man', which manages to not actually be much of a detractor in a film like this. Everybody did there job, and not much more, but due to the screenplay, there wasn't much more that could really be done with it; again, it works for what it is, but more developed and nuanced characters can never hurt.

I'm usually quite good at interpreting thematic relevance, but what I got from this, to do with family, Ford, parenthood, and... Godzilla(?), really just came out much more muddled between long up-close gazes between man and monster than whatever was intended from script to screen. That much was messy, but didn't end up mattering all that much in the end, unfortunate, as it could have added a layer of depth to the film beyond the extraordinarily well-executed visual spectacle... when not cut off by an abrupt shift to unfocused media footage.

Never has there been such a baffling display of monster blue-balls since Otachi's acid-sack in Pacific Rim. The first time a fight is cut off, the first fight that there would be, getting the audience all pumped up in a beautifully executed full-body reveal of Godzilla, the scene cuts away to Ford's son watching the news footage from Hawaii back in San Fransisco to an effect that is almost comedic in essence (it got some laughs from the audience at my showing, which I assume was due to the abrupt disappointment). Ford's son's reaction to the 'dinosaurs' fighting only played into that moment, as he calls over to his shocked and frustrated mother in what feels like a confusing, poorly-timed Jurassic Park III reference (the Jurassic Park visual references in this film are plentiful). The second time this happens, in a changed version of one of my favorite shot from the trailers, I just wanted to cry, my tears having taken the form of the anticipatory precum of my eyes. "Not tonight, I have a headache," Edwards groans groggily as we slowly climb out of bed toward the washroom to furiously finish ourselves off.

On a higher note, my belief that Gareth Edwards would be the man to direct this film held strong and true. Slick camera work, incredibly well-framed and creative monster imagery, a well-assembled design crew, from sets to creatures, to sound, everything is held together with a grand, refined vision of large scale destruction that serves as more than mindless fluff, like what can be seen in any given Michael Bay Transformers movie. It may not be 'the thinking man's' monster movie, but I don't think anybody expected it to be; what it is, however, is a well-performed, directed, and filmed monster movie treat.

It may not be the Godzilla film we wanted, but it was the doomsday creature feature we never expected. Juggling nuclear warheads, attempting to keep track of towering electronically disruptive beasts, and allowing a moment to breathe and stare in awe at the destruction that has been caused in the wake of these titans is near-precisely what I wanted from this film, and it works to a great effect that I'd watch again and again with the volume turned on high. What it lacks in Godzilla and the menace the character generally brings with him, it makes it for in the menace of monsters, while making them more than random destructive machines and worthy additions in the canon of the series. Much obliged, Mister Edwards.

BOX OFFICE: GODZILLA Stomps On CAPTAIN AMERICA For Largest Opening Day; May Hit $100M
After taking $38.5 million on Friday, Godzilla has managed to take the title from Captain America: The Winter Soldier to have 2014's highest opening day. It also looks set to have the highest opening weekend with analysts now predicting a haul of $98+ million!

That's a pretty f**king good opening.

Agreed. Pacific Rim was an inherently dumb movie and sometimes, as SiL says, it goes out of it's way to be stupid at times, but the movie's script embraces that and it was more entertaining overall.

What I feel is that this movie tried replicating the tension building of the old Godzilla movies but didn't really accomplish that. So I think tge first hour really hurts it.

I do think the last battle was better than any single scene in PR though. Too bad it was so short. But it was epic. Godzilla fatality for the win.

No it didn't. We didn't go into this expecting it to be like Pacific Rim. It's just that almost nothing happens for the first half of the movie.

Post by: OmegaZilla on May 17, 2014, 11:26:44 PM
Just back from this.

It's sort of a mixed bag for me, so I'll just talk as it goes along.  Read on ONLY if you have seen the film, or are ok with spoilers.

The film goes Alien3 on us early on by killing the most interesting character (Cranston) within the first act and replacing him with what is -- essentially -- a group of cardboard characters with few things memorable about them. Watanabe looked f**king stoned throughout and was just there to spew out mystical things about restoration of balance and stuff like that; if there is a sequel, I really, really hope they expand on his character, who has -- by far -- the most potential.

This besides the fact I have the most unexplainable attraction towards Sally Hawkins.


I think an issue is also the fact the film is much more focused on the MUTOs than it is by Godzilla himself. The MUTOs are the threat, the MUTOs drive most of the plot, and the MUTOs are the most developed creatures. Their design is as generic as modern movie monsters can get -- bioluminescent thin-legged arthropodoid things -- and they look like they could've had two or three more conceptual iterations, but their personality shines through much more than Godzilla's (especially in the scene where they meet -- excellent movement choreography from the animators). When you do first see Godzilla, the camera pans over his mountainous body, he roars loudly, and then -- then the scene cuts.

It cuts.

To a sleeping kid.

The wanted effect -- I suppose -- is a comical effect, but it backfires by being extremely anticlimactic. Another fight is cut abruptly in a similar manner, but is thankfully reprised after. In general, Godzilla is portrayed as an anti-hero in a light that is decidedly reminescent of the Heisei Gamera -- especially when it comes to his role of 'defender' / 'restorer of balance' and his relationship with the MUTOs, which mirrors very closely Gamera's with the Gyaos; this is again an example of misdirected advertising, which portrayed the main creature in a considerably different light.

I'm also done (and this has nothing to do with the film itself) with movie trailers. The shot from the main trailer where Godzilla roars as some truck backdoors close is absent, and has been replaced by a similar shot where Godzilla gnaws around with the Male MUTO.


Now I may sound like I didn't like this film, and I do say that some choices could have been avoided -- but I honestly and really enjoyed the ride for what it was. I loved the opening credits, and I loved the references to the japanese films. Structurally, the film does feel like a Godzilla film -- with few key monster scenes distributed between the human scenes. There were nods to Mothra and even to Manda (in the shape of the dragon head prop being submerged by water), and also -- quite peculiarly -- in the way the animation was choreographed. Some of the flying shots of the MUTO looked like the CGI model was being hung by a wire; and in several parts of the fight you could feel the influence of the japanese films -- especially when the Male MUTO lands on Godzilla, jumps vertically, and lands on him again. That is total TOHO fight fare. Godzilla himself was rendered spectacularly well.

If there is something Edwards truly has to be recognized for is that he knows how to shoot a film; Godzilla's photography and sense of scale is gorgeous and well structured. Desplat's score was also adequate to underline the significance of certain scenes.

All in all a nice ride. I'm fine with or without a sequel -- we'll see now how the film performs after the promising weekend opening.

Not really. The tone and pacing are perfectly fine IMO. I just wanted to care a bit more about the characters. And less plot holes. But then again, I think it's a good movie.

Post by: RagingDragon on May 18, 2014, 12:04:23 AM
I don't understand why people are so butthurt over the cuts.

The first one, Godzilla and the Muto meet each other outside of the airport, and it's pretty amazing, then the cut-away.

But you get to see pretty much what happens on the news screen. The Muto flies at Godzilla, they scrap for all of 2 seconds and then the Muto flies away. There wasn't a 'hurr cool' fight scene and there wasn't supposed to be one. Nothing was missed.

The only cut-away that I thought might have been done to solely troll the fanboys was the one with the closing blast doors, as that one is literally mid-action, but this is because Edwards likes to show the human perspective. I found it powerful and brilliant, as that's what a hell of a lot of people in those situations would actually see.

You get plenty of monster fighting by the end, but these really down-to-earth shots are so important to a good film. We have plenty of monster and/or action films where the camera follows such constantly ridiculous angles, you lose all sense of space or scale or perspective and feel like you're on some terribly thought out virtual simulation designed to make you confused and puke.

I'm reading a lot about these awkward editing choices used in the film - and not just on this forum. It's making me less and less excited to see the film.

Based on everything I've read so far:

Spoiler
Human characters pretty much suck. Female characters are complete throwaways. The movie is a dull journey until Godzilla finally appears. Cue awkward cuts. MUTOs take center stage. Godzilla is just there but definitely not the focus. Once everything is all said and done, an extremely cheesy ending to finish everything off.

Kind of, but I didn't think it was a dull journey until Godzilla rocked up. The MUTOs are actually pretty interesting monsters that could've carried the film by themselves. Cranston fills in the interest until Godzilla's actual arrival, then the MUTOs provide some nice set-pieces until the movie gets its act together.

But then I can't respect your opinion of the film, because by definition it is not a valid opinion. If you saw it and felt the same, that's fine. Until then I can't take you seriously.

I've never stated my opinion.
Just what I presume based on my friends reactions.

I saw them movie again, I still enjoy it. I understand the flaws but just like with Prometheus, I still think it a solid movie overall. The script does need some work, but I hear a director's cut is plan which means we could see some more stuff soon. With the long run time, I guess Legendary and WB need to cut out a lot.

Great special effects, good human drama, and Olsen, ATJ, Wantanabe, and the rest of the cast were good too. I had more fun with the movie with a second viewing. I still give the movie a 8/10. Everyone was clapping for enjoy and talk about much they love the film. I think most people were let down because they hope a movie similar to the original 1954 movie. The original movie is still the best Godzilla movie, but Godzilla 2014 is the best movie in the franchise since GMK in my opinion. The movies after Biollante in my opinion started to go downhill until 2001 in my opinion.

Lol, I don't think a single negative reaction on here is genuinely just to piss Aspie off. If you really believe that, then you're delusional.

The Rotten Tomatoes rating are fun jabs but nothing more. The negative reviews aren't part of some plot against Aspie.

The Godzilla fans seem to love the movie to right now since the feed back on TK, Monster Zero and other social media sites enjoy it. The movie has a 73% on RT which is a big step over GINO's 25% rotten rating. If people really hated it then the movie won't be reported to make 90-100 million this weekend. Godzilla 1998 made 50 million on it's opening weekend instead the big 80 million that Sony hope for because of bad word of mouth.

I have to say I disagree with him about the MUTOs. They reflect a current design trend, but I thought they were pretty neat, and original enough too-- they had a behavioral style that I can totally imagine a species of animal having.

Still, I sort of saw their battle with Godzilla as a conflict of sorts between the modern, slick designed monsters we see nowadays and the classic, back-to-basic style of the original Godzilla films.

I don't think many people here are going all "Suck jt!" about it. Just trying to balance the reactions in this thread.

As much as I'd like to say "Suck it!!" to Aspie, I can't because the movie wasn't a train wreck and it will have commercial success from the looks of it. But I am expressing my criticisms because I was disappointed with how they hadled Godzilla and the first half of the movie.

I guess the problem is (off the top of my head) that if you have big monster fights every 10 minutes then you may start to get bored of it and you may not care, impact is lost. On the other hand if you don't have much fighting and instead have lots of hints (which seems to be the main complaints) then people will feel exhausted, bored and kinda cheated.

I know why they held off on the fighting, so the main finale showdown would be more of an impact, that's obvious. But I don't think it has paid off because end of the day its ginormous monsters and people wanna see some mashing. The fanboys know what its all about and they are pleased but I think everyone else has been alienated and in the long run the film may suffer.

Personally, I think it worked, because the build-up to each reveal is pulse-pounding, the final reveal has an immense amount of cathartic power.

Once the monsters have appeared, there aren't too many moments when the story isn't moving forward. Godzilla stays hidden for a good amount of time, but the Mutos are less shy, and when the military isn't dealing with those, they're being otherwise involved in a very active way, and we're along with them.

Well that's not really too special because these big films generally do massive business when they come out at first, I'm sure the new X-Men film will make quadruple gazillions too, then the next film etc...I never pay any attention to that stuff because it happens every time.

A lot does happen in the movie. The caveat is that Godzilla isn't involved for much of the conflict, and it's always from a human perspective. But stuff is always happening.

I guess the problem is (off the top of my head) that if you have big monster fights every 10 minutes then you may start to get bored of it and you may not care, impact is lost. On the other hand if you don't have much fighting and instead have lots of hints (which seems to be the main complaints) then people will feel exhausted, bored and kinda cheated.

I know why they held off on the fighting, so the main finale showdown would be more of an impact, that's obvious. But I don't think it has paid off because end of the day its ginormous monsters and people wanna see some mashing. The fanboys know what its all about and they are pleased but I think everyone else has been alienated and in the long run the film may suffer.
Personally, I think it worked, because the build-up to each reveal is pulse-pounding, the final reveal has an immense amount of cathartic power.

Once the monsters have appeared, there aren't too many moments when the story isn't moving forward. Godzilla stays hidden for a good amount of time, but the Mutos are less shy, and when the military isn't dealing with those, they're being otherwise involved in a very active way, and we're along with them.

I know what you're saying, but is there any monster mashing? or is it just monsters vs the US army?
I read one scene that has annoyed many is when they show a news clip of a monster battle instead of the actual battle haha they hint to the start of something they cut away. I can see that being annoying.

If the film was receiving terrible word of mouth right off the bat, it wouldn't still be going strong. The general audience has not been alienated. Film critics, sure, but what the heck else did people expect.

There is a ton of monster bashing. When it comes, it comes hard, and it's some of the best monster bashing I've seen in a film.

Thing is, though, it comes late. For the majority of the film, we either see the monster bashing in snippets or obscured. We're yanked away. We get plent of Muto vs Human action, and when Godzilla shows up, we see bits of that. But it's only in the final third of the film when we really get a good look at the action, and what action it is.

Spoiler
The largest applause was the first time Godzilla used his nuclear breath, however it was an awkward applause. Heh I live Hawaii, we're kind of reserved in the theater. :P The biggest laugh was the tv scene just after the airport fight cut out. I have to admit I was laughing my ass off too. The scene (news coverage) was hilarious. The biggest "oh damn" moment was when Godzilla used his nuclear breath the second time. Honestly though, we were more in awe of the movie.

I heard people say that he used his breath 3 times but I only remember seeing it twice. Unless that first time where he paused for a second and resumed is counted as 2.

I loved the 3D but I have to be honest, I think 2D might have been better. However for IMAX it was 3D or bust and I ain't watching it on anything else to be quite honest.

Which characters weren't terrible?

His wife and son? She was constantly borderline crying with no strength of character and the kid had a blank look the entire time.
The japanese kid with NO dialogue?
The army dude with grey hair? The black army dude? What can you tell me about them besides they're in the army and bark orders?
The Japanese guy? The only time his jaw wasn't on the floor was when he was preaching how godzilla is nature's balance.
Cranston was the only good one.
The main character just cruises through the movie. The only times he seemed motivated to make decisions for himself are when he

It's a nice change of pace for sure, but I didn't find myself caring about most of them (I cared about ATJ because, dunno, he's supposed to be our leading man). Some really "ehhh" dialogue and development (?) all over the place. Not to mention female characters are as important as green screens in this film.

I liked the film, but Edwards' excellent directing, the great setpieces, and the top tier cinematography pretty much saved the show. The sound design and soundtrack are awesome as well. The good stuff in this film is f**king good, and makes up for the script's shortcomings IMO.

No that was exactly the problem. Cranston was turned into the more realistic human in some ways, and was killed off quickly. Easily the most compelling character.

And then we have ATJ's character being super human and being the only survivor of all the set pieces. Doesn't help that he's pretty bland and standard Hollywood crap.

Just someone for the audience to follow along with. He was EOD and couldn't even disarm the device. It took them over an hour to carry it to the ship. He was also trying to get back to his family which just so happened to be where the monsters were also heading. Far from superhuman. Hell just as the Sarge said, was he supposed to be impressed? Humans were not in control, perhaps neither are audiences. :P

As far as the cut scenes, I think it was just them trying to cut the movie down to 2 hours.

Oh and another thing, I liked the MUTOs. I think people should understand that they were terrestrial, not alien, so appearing to look like creatures from earth shouldn't be a negative.

Wat lol of course he wanted to get back to his family. Doesn't explain his super human resistance to everything he went through. It was standard hollywood trope shit. And there is no escaping that. It really isn't a matter of opinion. He just survived because the plot needed him to, which is a flaw in itself.

both their mothers were killed by muto, they both collapsed fighting muto, they're both the same character, which I can agree with, basically useless until the last 10 mins.

Nah I read it as though his and Elizabeth Olsen's characters were the human equivalent of the MUTO's -lovers trying to reconnect admist chaos, un-relatable circumstances, and adversity.

Kinda wish they played that parallel a bit more; if Brody Jr and Olsen both died at the hands of Godzilla, it would have come around full circle...and the film would have had more impact in that vein.

This was the Godzilla I was waiting for. He was f**king badass. Brilliantly realised. I liked the Muto's too... I don't think the criticism they're receiving for looking too generic is entirely warranted. At the end of the day they were just fodder for Godzilla to destroy, but I thought they were fascinating to watch stomping/flying around.

The only one negative is the widespread vocal criticism of cutting before the action was about to get going. It WAS frustrating because I wanted to see Godzilla knock seven shades of shit out of everything. Also the very ending left me a little sour, bit cheesy.   

Gareth Edwards for the sequel, definitely.

Saw this yesterday, and wow, I loved it.

Spoiler
I have no complaints about the amount of time we see Godzilla. I loved how it was handled. The movie is the told
through the viewpoint of Ford, not Godzilla. My one issue is how everyone just kind of accepted Godzilla. Like it was an everyday thing, I get after the MUTOs not much more would surprise them, but I feel a little more awe, worry, or fear would've made sense. Godzilla was amazing, the theater was applauding when he blew the last MUTOs head off with the atomic breath. Cranston was terrific, shame his role wasn't bigger, as for ATJ, I had no issues, he's a soldier just trying to get back to his family. While the family dynamic suffered from not really having enough time together, I still felt for him. It was a great movie, and I hope they make a sequel, because Edwards gave the fans what they needed. Zilla '98 can eat dirt. 9/10 from me.

I think a sequel is likely at this point. I think for a second movie, I think they could fresh out more of the human characters and we see more of MONARCH. More monster action would be nice, but not too much otherwise the human characters won't have much screen time. I like how this movie had a nice balance of human and monster action.

On the way home, I was thinking about sequel ideas.

Godzilla continues to exist on earth, and humanity actually realizes what a threat he is to their existence. So they begin developing anti-Godzilla weaponry that, of course, fails. Eventually, a new monster, be it alien or scientifically made arrives on the planet and it proceeds to fight Godzilla, with Godzilla ending up killing it.

That's just one rough sequel idea I had.

The government becomes paranoid and starts funding programs to create a better defense in case something happens again, however a seperate faction feels the need to attempt to destroy Godzilla and secretly search for the beast and in their search they wake up another Kaiju, perhaps Ghidorah or a new beast altogether. Insert theories that these creatures were mutations in the past, possible reason dinosaurs went extinct, etc, etc. Insert scene of our hero walking through the facilities where they develop new defense programs and they can have some blueprints for Mecha Godzilla.

it will happen I promise

His wife and son? She was constantly borderline crying with no strength of character and the kid had a blank look the entire time.
The japanese kid with NO dialogue?
The army dude with grey hair? The black army dude? What can you tell me about them besides they're in the army and bark orders?
The Japanese guy? The only time his jaw wasn't on the floor was when he was preaching how godzilla is nature's balance.
Cranston was the only good one.
The main character just cruises through the movie. The only times he seemed motivated to make decisions for himself are when he
Spoiler
wanted to get on the train and happened to have the qualifications to justify the ride and when he destroyed the eggs which he happened to have everything he needed lying around to accomplish
[close]
both of which feel unnatural and only happen because the writers made it so.

All the characters felt like blank canvases or generic blocks to build on, only they weren't built on..

His wife had no strength of character? She gave a far more convincing performance than ATJ.. staying at the hospital amid the crisis, sending her son away in that great scene. She didn't have a lot to work with, but absolutely nailed what she did have.

Her conversations with him on the phone were hilarious because she was a lot more believable and upset and ATJ was just like "yuh I'm goin here, then I'll be there, uh bye."

I agree that the weak character did hurt the second half of the film, but Cranston did an amazing job with the time he had.

Plus this isn't like Tremors or Jaws or something. I almost feel like Godzilla is so big that tyring to shoehorn in other characters drama outside of simple survival is a bit wonky. You don't have like personal decisions making any real difference when something the size of a mountain is stomping around mad.

That's not an excuse for having weak characters, but I feel like the military situation and the monsters carried the second act fine. At that point it's about destruction, survival, and 'saving the day' or whatever plot thing the characters have to do while the real shit goes down.

It's like you guys bitch about not enough Godzilla, then they have plenty of Godzilla in the last half of the movie and finale and you bitch about not enough people. Make up your minds. What exactly did you want, some personal revenge story starring ATJ? Or how about a little group disaster survival flick akin to zombie movies where a colorful group of diverse survivors are holding up in a mall battling with their own emotions as Godzilla and the Mutos fight each other?

And the cut-away to the kid watching TV was perfect. MY favorite part of the movie hands down. Did anyone even notice that you get to see the fight scene on the news and basically nothing happens except the Muto flies into Godzilla then flies away? :P

Some of my friends that went into the movie blind thought that the G was responsible for the reactor incident in the beginning, and enjoyed the twist.

They didn't even know there would be other monsters in the movie, so there's that.

And I feel like just having Godzilla 'show up' for no real reason other than something idiotic like laying eggs or eating would be moronic. The way the story was told gave a much more plausible reason for the creatures being in populated areas, even if it was still a little wonk.

What she had to work with was the Concerned Wife™ role, an insultingly cliched archetype. She is a wife. She is concerned. That's it. There is no strength to that role. It's terrible, lazy character writing. The female characters in this were incredibly lame.

Yeah, the trailers led me to believe that Bryan Cranston would be in the whole thing and that Godzilla was the one causing all the mayhem we were given glimpses of.

I much prefer the movie we got.

I also loved seeing the exhausted but victorious Godzilla wake up, pull himself upright and simply walk back into the ocean without causing any further harm.  He's a big old teddy bear.

The movie felt like a glorified Toho film. Reviews have been spot on here. I'm interested in a sequel.

What would the sequel be?

Was Godzilla supposed to swim out to the nuke sight in the ocean like the MUTOS were supposed too regardless of the MUTOs living?

If he is then he's going to be hammered to death by the military.  How can Godzilla secretly live without the World knowing? Godzilla was able to escape in 1954 but the military was less technologically advanced. I don't see how Godzilla can hide because the Navy/Military would be following him. The Military knew Godzilla was on the move from the North Pacific or something out of nowhere. It was out of the blue. Random. I don't see how Godzilla could ever hide.

It would suck if the sequel just has the Military trying to kill Godzilla since Kaiju vs. Kaiju is just so damn awesome.

Monster Island is like Jurassic Park.  I don't see a point having characters going there when the Island can be wiped off the Earth with Nuclear Weapons.

I think the military was only going to nuke Godzilla back when they were still unsure of his intentions.  After saving our asses and then harmlessly wandering back out into the ocean, I think they're more likely to reconsider that decision and leave him alone.

I wonder what direction the sequel would take, obviously the general public now love Godzilla, but that doesn't mean the military will, I strongly believe the sequel will have some type of military hunting Godzilla story, or at least opposing sides as to how to deal with the mass destruction he caused, obviously not on his own, and of course they would probably have to include a new Kaiju since Godzilla seemingly doesn't have any issues with humans unless fired upon first.

If we incur Godzilla's wrath through an act of sheer stupidity, I would immediately root for him to end us.

Kinda like The Iron Giant.

I'd love a darker sequel where Godzilla decides we are the inbalance and attacks us. Of course have other monsters, but starting the movie off like that would be amazing.

Agreed. Definitely could be cool to see Godzilla turn on us. I hope we get an ally Kaiju for Gozilla. Like Mothra or Anguirus.

According to Boxoffice Mojo when all said n done Godzilla will  make around $240 million  in the US and close to $400 around the world after China and Japan gets it. Thats close to $640 million total!!

I could see a terrorist organization somehow fabricating an artificial MUTO echolocation signal and using it to bait Godzilla into rampaging across the US.  Godzilla still wouldn't be malevolent, he'd simply be manipulated into acting on instinct.

Our response could be Mechagodzilla.

Yeah Ken Watanabe was decent and could/should have more unknown Kaiju knowledge for the second installment. I don't even remember Sally Hawkins saying a word in the film. She should have more Kaiju knowledge too.

David Strathairn was boring/bland and didn't pull me into the hunt.

Nah, Sally Hawkins should occupy at least 70% of the screentime of the next film.


Ken Watanabe was terribly wasted.

I'd rather Strathairn be the one to represent the inevitable military presence in the sequel than some low-ranking EOD specialist.

Sally Hawkins does nothing for me, but I have no problem with her as long as it means we get Watanabe too.

I love how Godzilla is old and weary in this. He's like the soul of nature personified; ancient and tired. But he's got a job to do, and he'll see it through no matter what. It's almost like Edwards characterized him in correlation with how old the character actually is.

I wonder what direction the sequel would take, obviously the general public now love Godzilla, but that doesn't mean the military will, I strongly believe the sequel will have some type of military hunting Godzilla story, or at least opposing sides as to how to deal with the mass destruction he caused, obviously not on his own, and of course they would probably have to include a new Kaiju since Godzilla seemingly doesn't have any issues with humans unless fired upon first.

not really movie spoilers, but I spoilerfied it so nobody cries anyways.

I'd love the "Godfather Part II" approach, in other words tell all the backstory and cover up from the early fifties.  The return to the present somehow with Godzilla taking on a new threat, but a cliffhanger end of sorts to lead the the final part of the trilogy.  Or something.

Saw the movie yesterday I thought it was great! It was a perfect Godzilla movie for me, The acting was good, the effects were phenominal, and the story was so well done.  I am not sure if a sequal is necessarry but if they do make one hopefully the story is just as good.  10/10 for me.

Spoiler
If they make sequels I think they should make one or two thats it a trilogy would be enough. A  movie with Godzilla fighting another threat then the final movie where Godzilla becomes our threat and we have to destroy him with he oxygen destroyer or something similar to that. The less movies the better off they will be A nice trilogy that is compacted together that wont ruin the Godzilla that we now have.

Gamera is just the guardian of whatever the hell, he fights two monsters before finally showing up in the third movie angry at all of us, not caring about collateral damage. Then by the end it's a last stand between us and Gamera vs the bad guys. Who wins? That's up to your imagination.

Seriously...
Spoiler
naaahhh... this movie was waaaaaaaaaay too goofy for me to fall asleep, i was cracking up too much to have a peaceful rest.
Double seriously, this movie was on the same level any of the goofiest G movies ever made. This whole "realistic" take was straight up, up and down complete buuuuuulllsheeeeeeet. And side ways.

So let me list the goofy BS.

Monarch: AHHAHAHH!!! I was waiting for the Venture Brothers to show up.
So there is some super secret organization studying Battra (yes, this thing was nu-Battra) and following G-man. Why wasnt it the UN? Why wasnt it the Americans? I mean, they were the ones trying to destroy G-man in the first place. Plus the whole keeping a whole city off limits makes more sense if it was the Americans instead of some secret organization that has no explanation and we have no reason to believe they hold such power.

Killing gojira just because: So the origin story for the movie is that a sub finds him and then they just want to kill him...huh? We missed a few bits there. There is no reason given. And please, please, dont try to reply with "It's a big giant lizard, does that need an explanation?" Yes, yes it does. If they spend 5 minutes giving Gojira Tsumani super power that makes him recede the coast line, or 15 minutes on the silly Japanese kid scenes they could have spend 30 seconds giving proper context to this. Like, you know, he started attacking something. 

Waste of space scenes: Like i mentioned above, what was the point of the Japanese kid scenes? I was waiting for minilla to show up. Those scenes could have played just as well with Ford trying to stay alive. He could have saved a kid in the train scene but the rest was straight up useless padding. This seems to be some sort of a nod to toho stuff. I dont know it was just weird.

Gojira's new Tsumani super power was extremely stupid but at least we got one single scene that showed him actually wrecking shop.

Here's a coyote.... now let's back to our show. The hell was that all about? I know it's an establishing shot but did they really need that coyote there? Did they really needed to spend money on an animal handler to have a coyote? Save that cash and put it on more Gojira shots. Weird,man, weird.

Carezilla: They should've had Godzilla just going around the US navy saying, "Sorry, excuse, im sorry." Going under the aircraft carrier, hanging out with the carrier group, heck the only reason the bridge was destroyed was because of the Navy. He was gently holding it before they made a mess of things. Holy crap if there is one wish i have for he next movie is for the "force of nature" to actually act like one. Seriously do not consult with the US military in the next movie, this crap was silly. You make a set that looks like an aircraft carrier, you dont need to shoot in one. Force of nature my ass.

Battra biology: Why the hell do these Battras have an EMP attack? Like... were there a lot of electronic monster back in the day? I understand if they farted EMPs but an actual attack makes no sense. But i guess this falls under, "stuff needed for plot."

"Plot ":

1.So Monarch is all super secret to study kaiju and they give the unhatched egg to the Americas..... why? They are studying this stuff... why are you giving it away? Why are you not studying it? Because of plot.

2. The Americans hide the egg next to nuclear waste...W............T ...........F is this? Why arent THEY studying it? Why isnt this thing in Area 51? Because of plot. They put it in a place where it can grow because they just explained that they need radiation of course.

3. No one notices the tremendously huge egg because to grow. HOOOOOOLLLYYY SHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE, i should post a gif of that guy saying that. Seriously... what? Are they.... no they cannot  i..... i cant even put words down. This was straight up cartoony. Are they really saying no one checked anything over there? This monster was tremendous, some alarms had to have gone off. I mean....aaaaaaahhhhh!

4. The Battras follow the nuke trap instead of going to a nuclear reactor. Why? Cause of plot. They could have explained that the eggs needed smaller doses of radiation cause they are babies or something but nothing. Did i miss something? Cause i dont remember any reason. The spores were radioactive but they were there for a long time.

5. Ford knows how to HALO jump, i know this is small stuff but still. No character setup means they can pull off crap like this. And this is bad storytelling.

Weakzilla AKA Gojira won because of Ford: Was i watching some period costume drama or did Gojira keep passing out? The last one was just bad. And what's worst is that the only reason he wasnt used for nest padding was cause Ford blew up the eggs AND took the nuke that , because of "plot," caused Girl Battra to ignore the battle. Godzilla didnt win... he took advantage of an occupied opponent.  Ok he won against flying Battra but he had to do this alone.

And when Gojira was looking at Ford i was waiting for this to happen.

I mean, at this point the silliness level was pass maximum so why not, right?
Well, no the silliness continued to rise with that ending where everyone was all happy cheering for Godzilla... wtf was that?
Gojira should have done his happy dance all the way to the sea with such silliness.

And why was everyone outside with no protection after the nuke went off? The projection of the nuke fallout being exploded 20 miles off were bad and it didnt look like ford got that far. On top of that isnt Gojira radioactive? This is a cartoon, i tell ya.

I didnt even get to the silly dialogue, " He is a god."
"No... he is a monster."

There's more stuff but you get the point.

Oh, one more thing, i think i almost got my ass kicked during that scene where they explained that earth was 10 times more radioactive. I remember the discussion here that this must have been some silly toy explanation so when it popped up exactly the same in the film i went, " HA HAAAAA!!!!" mad loud and everyone turned to look at me cause i was mega loud. Seriously, if anything this movie was funny.

[close]

This movie was being sold as being realistic and all that jazz and no, hell no, this movie was not. This movie was no better that ANY of the toho films when it comes to realism. This movie was not even more realistic than the first. This movie was an average Gojira film with all the silliness that these films bring. So out of five i would give it a low three because of the airs the creators tried to put on this film. If the creators just came out and straight said, "This is the Godzilla film you mofos have been waiting for!" I would give a high three... but it's still a three.

If the same team is going to do a sequel the G man must actually be a force of nature and not some giant pokemon and there must be more screen time with fights where HE actually wins a straight up battle.

This was me watching Godzilla 2014 http://i.imgur.com/1tKXFHf.gif

Seriously...
Spoiler
naaahhh... this movie was waaaaaaaaaay too goofy for me to fall asleep, i was cracking up too much to have a peaceful rest.
Double seriously, this movie was on the same any of the goofiest G movies ever made. This whole "realistic" take was straight up, up and down complete buuuuuulllsheeeeeeet. And side ways.

So let me list the goofy BS.

Monarch: AHHAHAHH!!! I was waiting for the Venture Brothers to show up.
So there is some super secret organization studying Battra (yes, this thing was nu-Battra) and following G-man. Why wasnt it the UN? Why wasnt it the Americans? I mean, they were the ones trying to destroy G-man in the first place. Plus the whole keeping a whole city off limits makes more sense if it was the Americans instead of some secret organization that has no explanation and we have no reason to believe they hold such power.

Killing gojira just because: So the origin story for the movie is that a sub finds him and then they just want to kill him...huh? We missed a few bits there. There is no reason given. And please, please, dont try to reply with "It's a big giant lizard, does that need an explanation?" Yes, yes it does. If they spend 5 minutes giving Gojira Tsumani super power that makes him recede the coast line, or 15 minutes on the silly Japanese kid scenes they could have spend 30 seconds giving proper context to this. Like, you know, he started attacking something. 

Waste of space scenes: Like i mentioned above, what was the point of the Japanese kid scenes? I was waiting for minilla to show up. Those scenes could have played just as well with Ford trying to stay alive. He could have saved a kid in the train scene but the rest was straight up useless padding. This seems to be some sort of a nod to toho stuff. I dont know it was just weird.

Gojira's new Tsumani super power was extremely stupid but at least we got one single scene that showed him actually wrecking shop.

Here's a coyote.... now let's back to our show. The hell was that all about? I know it's an establishing shot but did they really need that coyote there? Did they really needed to spend money on an animal handler to have a coyote? Save that cash and put it on more Gojira shots. Weird,man, weird.

Carezilla: They should've had Godzilla just going around the US navy saying, "Sorry, excuse, im sorry." Going under the aircraft carrier, hanging out with the carrier group, heck the only reason the bridge was destroyed was because of the Navy. He was gently holding it before they made a mess of things. Holy crap if there is one wish i have for he next movie is for the "force of nature" to actually act like one. Seriously do not consult with the US military in the next movie, this crap was silly. You make a set that looks like an aircraft carrier, you dont need to shoot in one. Force of nature my ass.

Battra biology: Why the hell do these Battras have an EMP attack? Like... were there a lot of electronic monster back in the day? I understand if they farted EMPs but an actual attack makes no sense. But i guess this falls under, "stuff needed for plot."

"Plot ":

1.So Monarch is all super secret to study kaiju and they give the unhatched egg to the Americas..... why? They are studying this stuff... why are you giving it away? Why are you not studying it? Because of plot.

2. The Americans hide the egg next to nuclear waste...W............T ...........F is this? Why arent THEY studying it? Why isnt this thing in Area 51? Because of plot. They put it in a place where it can grow because they just explained that they need radiation of course.

3. No one notices the tremendously huge egg because to grow. HOOOOOOLLLYYY SHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE, i should post a gif of that guy saying that. Seriously... what?

Is not hate filled.
My point, as i say in the closing arguments, is that this thing was being sold as some realistic take if an event like this happened when i fact it's just as silly as the rest. If you consider that being hateful ok but i am saying that this film was just a standard godzilla film.

If there is one thing i hate is that it tries to separate itself from the Japanese G-films when it does the same exact things.
I was mostly laughing during this film.

I'll tell him what happens in the Gamera Trilogy.

Spoiler
Gamera is just the guardian of whatever the hell, he fights two monsters before finally showing up in the third movie angry at all of us, not caring about collateral damage. Then by the end it's a last stand between us and Gamera vs the bad guys. Who wins? That's up to your imagination.

He means he wants Godzilla to actually start targeting humans and human-made structures.

I will admit, that was one of the (very mildly) disappointing things about this movie for me.

If the same team is going to do a sequel the G man must actually be a force of nature and not some giant pokemon and there must be more screen time with fights where HE actually wins a straight up battle.

Saw DaddyYautja's hate-filled review coming from miles and miles away.  :laugh:

Is not hate filled.
My point, as i say in the closing arguments, is that this thing was being sold as some realistic take if an event like this happened when i fact it's just as silly as the rest. If you consider that being hateful ok but i am saying that this film was just a standard godzilla film.

If there is one thing i hate is that it tries to separate itself from the Japanese film when it does the same exact things.
I was mostly laughing during this film.

I believe this was a hell of a lot more realistic than any other Godzilla movie ever made. I mean shit, man. Look at every other Godzilla film in comparison to this one.

You've been shitting on this film from the very beginning. Ergo, I called that you'd shit on the movie in your reviews.

Can we have another remake where Godzilla is actually a threat like in the original? Thanks.
Are you shitting us... how is he not shown as a treat in the movie? Just taking a nap wiped out a city block.  :laugh:
He was trying his best to miss every single building that he could and he was the f**king savior of the world. Are you shitting me?

Don't think he was trying, man. He took out a hell of a lot of buildings during the final fight.

Sorry but the tremendous amount of goofy crap in no way can make this film any more realistic than any of the previous film.

And, no, i have not be shitting on the film because i did not see the film till today.
I was shitting on the Godzilla design that i didnt like but never mentioned on this review.
I was shitting on the roar which i did not mentioned in this review.
Shitting on design choices has nothing to do with the plot. If this movie had an actual plot without all the sillyness i would say so.
And, btw, i am not even saying it's a horrible movie, i am saying it's an average at best, a standard godzilla film.
Which apparently to you means bad? Reviews are either glowing or hateful to you but to me they are not, there are degrees.

A horrific R rated "Godzilla", with the blood of thousands flowing through the streets, and the creature doing nothing but killing people, would never be financed, never be made, and never be released.  Hoping for that is hoping for no big budget reboot, ever.  There isn't even a story there. 
Spoiler
It had to be fighting something that was a threat to humanity.  The choice of insects (that most people hate) was good, giant insects was great, and two of them trying to hatch a million eggs, was even better, as a story to get the Godzilla mythos going again.  The audience even hates the MUTO's because they are delaying screen time for the main attraction (which is actually pretty clever).

There are plenty of mistakes in this film, but having the audience take Godzilla's side is far from being one of them.  It's making the film work, as a story, in the best possible way.

He won't ever give Godzilla a reason to because they will be monster fighting partners.  Godzilla will be the weary older partner whose getting too old for this shit and ATJ will be Riggs who sharpshoots minor threats when they get in Godzillas way. 

ATJ will just eventually replace Godzilla as the titular creature once the film is released because he's obviously god tier.

No. You haven't seen the Gamera trilogy, you have no business doing anything Gamera related.


I'll tell him what happens in the Gamera Trilogy.

Spoiler
Gamera is just the guardian of whatever the hell, he fights two monsters before finally showing up in the third movie angry at all of us, not caring about collateral damage. Then by the end it's a last stand between us and Gamera vs the bad guys. Who wins? That's up to your imagination.

Saw it again.

It was better the second time, when you know what to expect plot-wise and can focus on the minutia, the technical achievements, even the subtleties in the character acting. Hell, ATJ is better. Now that I know not to look for an arc or any personal growth, I can focus on the way he conveys his thoughts and motivations (simple as they were) with small gestures and facial expression shifts. There's a lot going on behind his eyes, even if his character doesn't get much deeper than that.

The plot is easier to pick at now, but I don't mind that because it's pulled off so well. Poor direction would have made it a mess. This was directed with care and flair.

Spoiler
The theme of the movie, BTW, can be summed up with one image: As the female Muto stares down Ford, he whips out his pistol and aims.

See, I disagree. The Jurassic Park references in the '98 film got annoying because they were straight-up ripoffs. In this, it was more an inherent part of the tone.

By the way, reading the art book. One of the Muto designs is straight-up Orga.

The '90s Gamera trilogy is awesome. Those movies are, on a cinematic level, better than the majority of classic Godzilla movies. The majority of classic Godzilla movies, in turn, are better than every pre-Heisei Gamera movie. And while the Gamera films are better in terms of plot than most classic Godzilla films, I often find the Godzilla films to be more fun, and the one Godzilla movie directed by the Gamera director stands toe to toe with that trilogy.

I think the new Godzilla movie is better than the Gamera trilogy films. There are trade-offs. The characters in the Gamera films are, on average, more empathetic than the ones in this film. But this film has numerous advantages, and not all of them are technological and unfair. The actual craft involved, particularly in the directing, pacing, and editing, tell a more coherent visual story while imbuing it with a physicality one doesn't often see in these films. And the actors, as thin as their characters can be, are singularly better.

I disagree. I enjoy most of the classic Godzilla movies a hell of a lot more than I enjoyed Gamera the Brave. I don't feel that I'd enjoy the rest of the Gamera series as well.

The fact is that when it comes down to it, Gamera is a wannabe Godzilla. Plain and simple.

What twaddle. The wall-to-wall CGI lessens any physicality, not brings more to the table, because there isn't any to begin with. And the final act of Gamera 3 is way more intricately designed and better shot, with setpieces progressing from an aerial battle to a city bathed in flames to the inside of an incredibly detailed realization of a massive train station. Its setpieces are FAR better done. Not to mention the scene in Godzilla 2014 where the soldiers approach the MUTO in the jungle is suspiciously similar to the one where the soldiers in Gamera 3 approach Iris in the forest.

I completely disagree. (Although the forest thing I can see a connection. Not one-to-one, but a connection.)
Every singly shot of the monsters in this movie is grounded by context. Something small, like a person or a windshield wiper etc, to give perspective. What's more, there are no impossible shots. In interviews, Edwards said that he took pains to make sure that every single camera set-up in this movie was physically possible, and not something that could only be done in CG. There are no 'suicide' shots, for example-- shots that would destroy the camera and the footage. And even the high vantage points appear to be shot from rooftops, and the few times we get an overhead view, we get the limited motion of a helicopter. On top of that, there is no incoherent shakiness-- no Bourne action. The camera moves where it needs to move to tell the story. The scenes are made of individual beats, and the camera gets them in an efficient, unflowery way. To add to all that, most of the action scenes segue directly to the humans grounded on Earth in the same shot. Instead of cutting from CG shot to human shot, or, in the Gamera case, from miniatures to reality, very often this movie will make the move in a single shot. It's an especially well crafted film, cinematically.

As for the acting... agree to disagree. I don't think anyone was slumming it, even ATJ. The characters are thin, yes. Very little duality, no inner need. But the actors do a fantastic job with what they have-- I buy them as people, even if I don't necessarily feel too much for them-- and are often more convincing in their (admittedly underdeveloped) roles than most actors in the Gamera films, who often ham it up.

Can anyone who's seen the movie more than once or was paying better attention that I was tell me when they stopped trying to nuke Godzilla?  Did they say the final attempt took place in 1954?
They thought they got him, except for Serizawa who assumed all new nukes would fail.
When the military tries again, they say the new nukes they have would be significantly more devastating and might do the trick.

That's why I'm asking.  The Soviets detonated the Tsar Bomba in 1961.  It's still the most powerful bomb ever at 57 megatons.  We have nothing that powerful today.

Therefore, if Tsar Bomba was used in yet another attempt to kill Godzilla and it failed, there's f**k-all our modern nukes would do against him.

Which characters weren't terrible?

His wife and son? She was constantly borderline crying with no strength of character and the kid had a blank look the entire time.
The japanese kid with NO dialogue?
The army dude with grey hair? The black army dude? What can you tell me about them besides they're in the army and bark orders?
The Japanese guy? The only time his jaw wasn't on the floor was when he was preaching how godzilla is nature's balance.
Cranston was the only good one.
The main character just cruises through the movie. The only times he seemed motivated to make decisions for himself are when he
Spoiler
wanted to get on the train and happened to have the qualifications to justify the ride and when he destroyed the eggs which he happened to have everything he needed lying around to accomplish
[close]
both of which feel unnatural and only happen because the writers made it so.

All the characters felt like blank canvases or generic blocks to build on, only they weren't built on..

His wife had no strength of character? She gave a far more convincing performance than ATJ.. staying at the hospital amid the crisis, sending her son away in that great scene. She didn't have a lot to work with, but absolutely nailed what she did have.

Her conversations with him on the phone were hilarious because she was a lot more believable and upset and ATJ was just like "yuh I'm goin here, then I'll be there, uh bye."

I agree that the weak character did hurt the second half of the film, but Cranston did an amazing job with the time he had.

Plus this isn't like Tremors or Jaws or something. I almost feel like Godzilla is so big that tyring to shoehorn in other characters drama outside of simple survival is a bit wonky. You don't have like personal decisions making any real difference when something the size of a mountain is stomping around mad.

That's not an excuse for having weak characters, but I feel like the military situation and the monsters carried the second act fine. At that point it's about destruction, survival, and 'saving the day' or whatever plot thing the characters have to do while the real shit goes down.

It's like you guys bitch about not enough Godzilla, then they have plenty of Godzilla in the last half of the movie and finale and you bitch about not enough people. Make up your minds. What exactly did you want, some personal revenge story starring ATJ? Or how about a little group disaster survival flick akin to zombie movies where a colorful group of diverse survivors are holding up in a mall battling with their own emotions as Godzilla and the Mutos fight each other?

And the cut-away to the kid watching TV was perfect. MY favorite part of the movie hands down. Did anyone even notice that you get to see the fight scene on the news and basically nothing happens except the Muto flies into Godzilla then flies away? :P

If they're going to force us to watch a human throughout the film at least make the human story mean something. Usually the main character is the individual that makes the difference in a story, not because he's a main character but because the story focuses on that individual because he's the one that made a difference and worthy of being the centre of attention. He never made a difference until the end. He was just a dude we were stuck with and that is the core of this movie.

Godzilla (2014 film) (http://godzilla.wikia.com/wiki/Godzilla_%282014_film%29)

"Godzilla was awakened in 1954 by a Russian military submarine accident. Throughout the mid-1950s, the United States and Russian militaries used nuclear weapons in attempts to kill Godzilla and covered them up as atomic tests - thus, his existence was unknown to the public. Godzilla, however, survived every attempt. Film footage shows the preparation and the detonation of a nuclear bomb at Bikini Atoll - one such attempt at Godzilla's destruction."

FWFW, the Bikini Atoll tests (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bikini_Atoll) took place between 1946 and 1958, but that doesn't account for whatever the Soviets did.

No, I enjoy the film and have some gripes about it too that I can easily overlook by simply understanding studio budget and time restraints.  Also the fact that this is Gareth's first big blockbuster film- not to mention, 2nd film overall.  It's hard to juggle that much when you're not as experienced as, let's say, Spielberg or Cameron.  The fact that folks continuously allow minor flaws (which will ALWAYS be present in any movie) affect the film's overall product is a real bewilderment for me.  I'm not lashing back at you by any means SiL, just so you know.

No-one's talking about anything minor. Flat characters aren't a production problem, they're a script one. Focusing your movie on everything other than what the movie is supposed to be about isn't a minor problem.

Looking at the prequel comic now:

Serizawa: "They killed him anyway? They didn't listen to you? So it was all for nothing?"
Serizawa Sr.: "Maybe. Maybe what I learned about Gojira wasn't enough to stop us from trying to destroy him."
Serizawa: "Wait, what do you mean 'trying'? Surely the atom bomb killed the creature?"
Serizawa Sr.: "They think they killed him, certainly. But that bomb couldn't have destroyed him. Nothing in our power ever could. Perhaps one day, maybe not until you're my age, he'll come again. And whenever that day comes we must be ready. We must not make the same mistake again."

Yes, I know this isn't a discussion in the actual film, and thus proves nothing on its own, canon-wise. But the prequel is where the screenwriter (Borenstein) put all of the backstory of the film that isn't ever stated explicitly. So while the film never outright says "They thought we killed it, but I never believed", there is nothing to contradict that, and that's certainly the vibe I got the first time when I saw it without having read the book, and watching it a second time, I was able to scrutinize it further.

They thought they killed it. Serizawa and his assistant didn't.

Yeaaaaaaa.  What?  You think there's unlimited time to bring out a major motion picture from the start of production?  Besides, the plan was to get a film out for the 60th anniversary.

Sure, the multiple writers in preproduction was an indicator that the script might ultimately clash with itself, but being able to visually flesh out what you have on paper is not an easy task.  Some of the character's dialogue was a small problem for me; and that's why I prefer the playful banter from the characters in Emmerich's film; but I think the actors did a pretty good job of delivering what they had to work with.  The characters do their job of moving the story along and finally interacting with the big stars of the film.

Alien³ did it right and went in with an unspoiled mind of what to expect in the movie.

I had a sequel idea.

It has nothing to do with plot, or monsters. It's a thought I had about character.

Spoiler
Say we keep Ford as our protagonist. I know people don't want him back, but say we keep him.

As a character, he had a goal: get home to his family. But he had no inner need, no flaw.

Here's what I'd suggest for a sequel.

Maybe he's hailed as a hero. He was the last surviving soldier in his group. He destroyed the eggs. He sent the nuke out to sea. Hell, soldiers have been praised for less.

The world sees him as the face of human bravery.

He doesn't see himself that way.

He joined the army because he thought he could affect the world. And in his small way, he has. But he had never felt so small, so insignificant. He faced gods, and the gods resolved themselves without his interference. He couldn't change the course of hurricanes, and he couldn't even save his men. He knows what it means to be nothing.

The only times during the conflict he ever felt big were when the monsters noticed him.

He looked Godzilla in the eye, and Godzilla looked back. A Muto faced him down, and he pulled a gun on it. And he lived.

He won't admit it, but those moments defined him. The gods saw him.

Now, say something happens. Obviously something will happen. Godzilla will arrise again, monsters will attack mankind. Things will need to be done. The military will step in. There will be a goal. Doesn't matter what.

Ford won't need to be there. He's home with his family. He's off duty. He's a veteran. But he sees a chance to step up again, to prove that he's worth something. His family protests. He should know better. But he has to help. He has a job to do, he says. His country, his species, needs help. But inside, all he wants to do is find the opportunity to stare a monster in the eye. He needs to feel big again.

On the subject of plot ideas, my dad had this thought about the role of humans in a story:

Have the crucial human decision be whether or not to deploy a weapon that will destroy godzilla. A nuke, an oxygen destroyer, it doesn't matter. The humans have it, and if they use it they can kill Godzilla. If Godzilla dies, he won't be a threat anymore, but the other creatures will be.
And the big decision will be to spare Godzilla, and thus everything Godzilla does to save humanity is a function of the mercy of the humans.

The acting was fine.  It certainly wasn't as shit-terrible as the Star Wars prequels.
Most of the people round here think that acting is awesome, too. :laugh:

At least the new film didn't have this  :P

QuoteThis is only part of the problem though. The bigger issue is, why are Bryan Cranston and his wife in this movie in the first place??? (spoiler) They add zero value to the story, have less than 2% of an effect on the plot, and don't even make it through the first act! Why are we spending so much time with people who aren't even important enough to make it to Act 2????

QuotePoor Bryan Cranston's son. This guy had NOTHING to do but wait for the plot to figure out a way to get him to the next location. "Oh, hey, uhhh. He's our... last nuclear tech engineer... so that's why we need him to come with us!" Never have I seen a character so clearly a pawn of the plot rather than a real live human being before. He had no life because nobody wrote him any life. Calling home to the wife doesn't make us care about someone. Or make them feel real. How about giving this character wants, needs, a flaw, secrets, a backstory (not his dad's backstory – HIS backstory), a PERSONALITY!. He was so generic it was embarrassing to everyone involved. This is your hero! And he's the most forgettable thing about the film! Even his dad, who died 100 minutes ago and wasn't even needed for the story was more memorable.

Scriptshadow isn't particularly relevant as a critic. I used to love his site, and he did give my script useful notes, but his taste is so skewed and narrow that it's hard to take him seriously, and he isn't exactly held in high regard by other readers/writers/scriptpeople.

Not that the remarks he makes here are invalid, but he's lost credibility with me and a ton of people.

eh? Not really sure how i feel about this analysis.

QuoteIn Gareth Edwards' Godzilla, point of view is everything. Here is a $160 million studio tentpole in which perspective stomps over plot, and characters are defined not by their actions, but by their insignificance. Here is a confidently paced monster movie that eschews the "four action setpieces strung together with exposition and iced with a tease" template of contemporary blockbuster cinema. Edwards devotes the film's first hour to the deepening tragedy of a single family, and builds to an unspeakably spectacular climax that's less dependent on what we're seeing than on how we're seeing it.

That's projection onto a blank slate. We can't really know a character until we've seen him make choices under pressure that reveal what he really needs, and there's no reason to think his actions need extra motivation.

Not that I care, of course. I liked him as a person and he brought us along for a ride. And there is potential for growth, as I've said.

I think he needed one actual emotional outburst where he reveals his inner turmoil. The deaths in his family and his helplessness in the face of an absurd situation out of his control... all that needed to come to the fore to make him more interesting.

Given how there's talk of about 20+ minutes of deleted scenes i wonder if his character got a bit damaged via editing.

The events that allow him these opportunities are only apparent because the writers cater to the necessity of carrying the main character through the film. Luckily they thought up something for him to do by the time the credits roll.

I knew stuff got cut, but are you sure there's a DC coming?

Anyway, I read the article that was posted earlier about the movie being post-human... (Link for those who forget-- http://thedissolve.com/features/exposition/566-godzilla-the-first-post-human-blockbuster/ (http://thedissolve.com/features/exposition/566-godzilla-the-first-post-human-blockbuster/) )
And... well, I agree and disagree. I agree that one can find merit in the way the humans are portrayed, and that they serve a thematic/practical purpose. I wouldn't agree that character development has been intentionally sidestepped, and I wouldn't agree that more development wouldn't have improved the story.

That said, again, I didn't mind this particular lacking, and I didn't find any characters to be annoying or abrasive.

Still not. They're there establishing the entire plot for those thirty minutes. They're there giving Ford a personal motivation to do what he does for the rest of the film. We have Joe experiencing the death of the mother because Ford's too young to be there; the baton is then passed on to Ford when Joe dies. The mother's death motivates Joe; Joe's death should motivate Ford, but it's almost entirely handwaved. That's the problem, not that there was focus on them. The guy's an idiot.

Seeing the amount of people write off the remainder of the Godzilla franchise is kind of a bummer. It's kind of a limiting way to look at the series. These movies are way more than the silly gifs people have posted online. It's not like the series immediately became Godzilla vs. Megalon after the original. If you watch those first movies in order there's a steady progression to the Godzilla you see in the new movie... basically an indifferent protector. And there's nothing wrong with that. Characters evolve and that changing quality has helped Godzilla endure. It's not like he hasn't gone back and forth between destroyer, savior and a bit of both.

So I don't know if this will be swallowed up by this ever-expanding thread, but here's how I feel about the Showa series -

Essential
Godzilla - The one that started it all, if you watch any of them, it should be this.

Mothra vs. Godzilla - Simply the best after the original, the ultimate Godzilla sequel in many ways.

Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Monster - Godzilla becomes more of a reluctant hero, but the plot is so strong on both sides it feels very natural and satisfying.

Invasion of Astro-Monster - More of an out-there alien invasion movie but the characters are fun with some iconic imagery (the movie is more than three seconds of Godzilla dancing).

Destroy All Monsters - The characters are admittedly a bit bland, but the movie is on a scale unlike any Showa entry and the final battle is probably Tsuburaya's crowning achievement.

Other fun movies
King Kong vs. Godzilla - Make sure it's the Japanese version. The plot feels like a blueprint for future endeavors but it's Kong vs. Godzilla!

Ebirah, Horror of the Deep - Just a fun movie in many ways, the characters are jumpy and engaging and the island set pieces are a nice change from cities.

Son of Godzilla - Don't let the Godzilla and Minilla suits put you off, this is undeniably Fukuda's best G-film. The giant bugs are brought to life brilliantly, the characters are fun and the ending is very heartwarming.

All Monsters Attack - An underrated gem in the series. It's not a traditional G-film on any level (aside from monster action I guess) but the film is a satisfying little time capsule of Japanese life in the late 1960s.

Godzilla vs. Hedorah - Another interesting experiment. It's very trippy and while not as subtle as the original (if you can call it that), it has a nice message.

And the rest..
Godzilla Raids Again - The black and white photography is nice and connects to the original, but the movie is overall just too drab. The score and animalistic fights are nice though, as is the airplane model work.

Godzilla vs. Gigan - Definitely a more 'traditional' Godzilla film in the wake of Hedorah, but the movie has very unique and fun characters, it sort of has everything Westerners see in Godzilla movies: Monster Island, aliens, tag team monster fights, etc.

Godzilla vs. Megalon - Sort of the poor man's Gigan. Probably the lowest point in the first series. The filmmakers were just crushed by the little time and money they had.

Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla - Fukuda rebounds with a Godzilla classic. It sums up everything about his style - fun, energetic characters, gun fights, jazzy Masaru Sato tunes, etc. It's still a 70s G-film though, so there are aliens, extended multiple monster fights and other craziness.

Terror of Mechagodzilla - If the above is the ultimate Fukuda 70s films, this is Honda's version of that. Very stark, melancholy, with an all-around depressing feel. It's like they knew this was going to be this last one for a while. The romance is a little melodramatic, but it works in a way a similar dynamic in Astro-Monster didn't. Ifukube's music at the end is just devastating.

Well there ya go. If anyone pays attention to this I might do the Heisei/Millennium films.

Still not. They're there establishing the entire plot for those thirty minutes. They're there giving Ford a personal motivation to do what he does for the rest of the film. We have Joe experiencing the death of the mother because Ford's too young to be there; the baton is then passed on to Ford when Joe dies. The mother's death motivates Joe; Joe's death should motivate Ford, but it's almost entirely handwaved. That's the problem, not that there was focus on them. The guy's an idiot.

The film would have been much better character wise if Joe stayed alive and it focused on the father-son relationship.

Uiltimately I agree with this just because I didn't care much about ATJ's character. I actually didn't mind if he died or not. But the movie tries to make you care about him via the concerned wife. But this trick ends up failing because they don't give him any distinguishable characteristics. Not any that are unique, at least.

I completely agree. Even though Watanabe was underused and is also a frequently used archetype, he was far more interesting than Ford.

Just back from this.

It's sort of a mixed bag for me, so I'll just talk as it goes along.  Read on ONLY if you have seen the film, or are ok with spoilers.

The film goes Alien3 on us early on by killing the most interesting character (Cranston) within the first act and replacing him with what is -- essentially -- a group of cardboard characters with few things memorable about them. Watanabe looked f**king stoned throughout and was just there to spew out mystical things about restoration of balance and stuff like that; if there is a sequel, I really, really hope they expand on his character, who has -- by far -- the most potential.

This besides the fact I have the most unexplainable attraction towards Sally Hawkins.


I think an issue is also the fact the film is much more focused on the MUTOs than it is by Godzilla himself. The MUTOs are the threat, the MUTOs drive most of the plot, and the MUTOs are the most developed creatures. Their design is as generic as modern movie monsters can get -- bioluminescent thin-legged arthropodoid things -- and they look like they could've had two or three more conceptual iterations, but their personality shines through much more than Godzilla's (especially in the scene where they meet -- excellent movement choreography from the animators). When you do first see Godzilla, the camera pans over his mountainous body, he roars loudly, and then -- then the scene cuts.

It cuts.

To a sleeping kid.

The wanted effect -- I suppose -- is a comical effect, but it backfires by being extremely anticlimactic. Another fight is cut abruptly in a similar manner, but is thankfully reprised after. In general, Godzilla is portrayed as an anti-hero in a light that is decidedly reminescent of the Heisei Gamera -- especially when it comes to his role of 'defender' / 'restorer of balance' and his relationship with the MUTOs, which mirrors very closely Gamera's with the Gyaos; this is again an example of misdirected advertising, which portrayed the main creature in a considerably different light.

I'm also done (and this has nothing to do with the film itself) with movie trailers. The shot from the main trailer where Godzilla roars as some truck backdoors close is absent, and has been replaced by a similar shot where Godzilla gnaws around with the Male MUTO.


Now I may sound like I didn't like this film, and I do say that some choices could have been avoided -- but I honestly and really enjoyed the ride for what it was. I loved the opening credits, and I loved the references to the japanese films. Structurally, the film does feel like a Godzilla film -- with few key monster scenes distributed between the human scenes. There were nods to Mothra and even to Manda (in the shape of the dragon head prop being submerged by water), and also -- quite peculiarly -- in the way the animation was choreographed. Some of the flying shots of the MUTO looked like the CGI model was being hung by a wire; and in several parts of the fight you could feel the influence of the japanese films -- especially when the Male MUTO lands on Godzilla, jumps vertically, and lands on him again. That is total TOHO fight fare. Godzilla himself was rendered spectacularly well.

If there is something Edwards truly has to be recognized for is that he knows how to shoot a film; Godzilla's photography and sense of scale is gorgeous and well structured. Desplat's score was also adequate to underline the significance of certain scenes.

All in all a nice ride. I'm fine with or without a sequel -- we'll see now how the film performs after the promising weekend opening.

Missed this review a couple days ago, but I have to say that I pretty much agree 100% Omega.

Sequel or not I'm not really bothered. This movie didn't blow me away, but I didn't walk away completely hating it either. I had a ton of problems with it, but when it did something right it really delivered (that final fight especially). The best way to describe it is simply as another Godzilla film. It didn't revolutionize the creature or the genre like it seemed like it was trying to do. It just kind of sits alongside of most of Toho's work as another entry in the series, albeit with a much bigger budget and CGI monsters rather than men in suits (though I did appreciate the way the movement of the creatures felt kind of evocative of men in suits and puppets, Godzilla especially).

Saw it last night & the Drive-In w/ my GF. We both loved it. She in particular was pleasantly surprised. I'm not sure what her expectations were going in, but she's much less familiar w/ Godzilla than I. Speaking of, the King Of The Monsters himself was phenomenal. My favorite aspect, beyond the general fact that he's a BAMF, was his disregard for anything other than defeating MUTO. We didn't matter. The MUTO's also provided an intriguing adversary. Considering how much this film got right, I can overlook it's flaws, which really amount to little more than Aaron Tyler-Johnson being as dull as a table lamp. Perceived lack of screen time aside, the true star of this film was Godzilla, and he delivered. 8.5 out of 10

And let's not forget to take time aside to marvel at it's ~200 million WW debut. Scrolling through my FB, and Twitter, there are people who I'd never thought would be interested in a Godzilla film either posting about their excitement to see it or how much they enjoyed it. Consider the marketing campaign a rousing success.

The build-up to Godzilla arriving in Hawaii. The scene when all the water recedes on the beach had my heart pumping – then the shot of Big G swimming under the ships as everyone aboard stand there with their jaws wide open.

I hope this doesn't ruin the movie for anyone, but reading your post made me think of that scene, with the TDKR theme playing in my mind. That...just made it more epic for me.

Yah he didn't really acknowledge humans at all.  I just feel like he would have done something during the scene on the  Golden Gate Bridge, the military fired excessively at him yet he did nothing  they almost knocked him over and he just kept walking, he should have smacked a boat or something.

Eh I can have it either way. I do like him being an anti-hero of sorts. Him being indifferent to humans but taking out other massive creatures due to them being prey or being in his "territory." They can use the territory thing if they ever go with alien creatures.

Anyways, it would be cool if the humans just let him be since he's not actively attacking them and defends them from these threats that (for whatever reason) humans can't destroy. Sure Godzilla takes out many buildings in the process and causes many deaths, but it's not intentional as opposed to other possible creatures that are targeting cities. He's their only defense, and they have to accept the collateral damage and death that comes with Godzilla.

I can imagine a great scene where the goverments realize he is the lesser of two "evils" and aids a wounded Godzilla by attacking his opponent to cause a distraction, and Godzilla sees the opening and lands a good hit/bite. I think I would clap and cheer at this!! It's a bit cheesy but I wouldn't mind  :P

Agreed completely. A shot like that would have helped to give the big guy the impression of having a much larger presence than he actually did... in his own film.

I mentioned a few days ago that, while there is really no reason to compare the movies, I can't help but think of Godzilla vs Megalon when I think of this movie. Much like how GvM was essentially a Jet Jaguar movie that Godzilla just happened to pop up in from time to time, this felt like a MUTO movie that just happened to have Godzilla. He never really felt like the driving force. Which is a shame, because all the conspiracy centered around him in the first act was really, really well done.

I did quite like the MUTOs, though.

Godzilla really wasn't trying to save humans was he? I feel like he was doing what he had to, he dosent care about us he would wipe us off the planet the minute we caused a significant issue towards him.  We were just lucky he didnt want to kill us like the MUTO's.

Godzilla's depiction in the movie was pretty bad, he kills people when he comes into Hawaii but he bother to avoid the ships. Heck, he didn't do anything to the Navy at all even when they were attacking him on the bridge. He did seem pretty friendly toward humans but since he is so big, i guess some times we might end up dead... but he tries to avoid it as much as he could.

Good guy Godzilla.

The shots in the trailers are in the movie. The angles are the same. What's changed is the action of the object in the shot.
Spoiler
We still get the doors closing, but instead of a roar, it's a battle. We still see Godzilla through the eyes of a HALO jumper, but he's not just walking, he's in battle. It's all there, just changed. I think that's fascinating, and reveals a new tool at the disposal of filmmakers. They can avoid revealing certain things simply by altering the shot.

That looked like a very unfinished effect to me-- I assume it got scrapped before it was completed.

They should have shown him crushing a few military ships and maybe some people just to show that he doesn't care about humans.  Thats really the only thing I disliked, other than that Godzilla was portrayed fine. Hopefully the sequel shows his more violent side.

I was thinking about the end of the movie for a bit and what if the detonation of the nuclear device the night before is what reinvigorated Godzilla. From the earlier map the entire area should have gotten bathed in a massive dose of radiation fallout from the bomb. So by taking a nap, not only did he recharge his batteries but he also saved everyone else form death and is probably swimming around the harbor like it is a nice radiation jacuzzi. Absorbing all of the healing juices. I only say this since the beginning of the film has the muto feeding off of the reactors yet in the immediate surrounding area there is literally zero radiation. Which is impossible even if there was no nuclear plant nearby.

Which could also explain why he never bothered reappearing since 1954. We dropped so many nukes in the sea it was probably an all you can eat buffet for him.

I thought Godzilla was quite logical, myself. Why swim through a bunch of obstacles when you can simply avoid them? Sure they won't hurt him but they would be bothersome. Of you're swimming and you see debris would you swim through it? Same when he avoided the buildings. They would probably be a nuisance to walk through and even though they wouldn't hurt him they would slow him down even just a bit. Would also make the ground uneven which adds to the annonces. I'm sure he would've swam right past the bridge if the military wouldn't have provoked him. He was just like "woah what? What do you guys want ? I'm busy" *walks through bridge*

Same. Imagine if they hadn't edited the scenes appropriately. People would be complaining about spoilers.

I was a but surprised the HALO briefing scene didn't make it into the movie. I wanted to see that in its entirety.

I was thinking the same exact thing. Godzilla has been dormant and has not seeked out radiation on the surface since we bombed him so much and pretty much fed him.  He probably did go and absorb all the radiation  from the bomb a snack after a long fight.

QuoteGodzilla Is Dumb In A Bad Way

This isn't to say that Pacific Rim is a sensitive and intelligent movie about giant monsters. It's dumb as a brick. It's just that Pacific Rim is a better-written dumb movie.

Godzilla, script-wise, is kind of a mess for about a dozen different reasons, but the main problem is that the plot hinges on the military making every single conceivable stupid decision when faced with a situation like this. These giant bugs eat radiation and your plan is to nuke them?

Even giving that as a plot idea, you've got two giant bugs eating everything radioactive for miles, and you know they can sense radioactivity because the entire plan hinges on that. So why, for the love of God, are you transporting these bombs by train? True, there's a long-standing tradition of military stupidity in Godzilla movies, but that's why we laugh at them.

Is building giant robots a reasonable response to ridiculous alternate-dimension monsters coming out of the ocean? Of course not. But Pacific Rim is not pretending to be a serious movie to be taken seriously, and it has the virtue of being at least internally consistent. There's a difference between a movie that knows it's stupid and a movie that assumes you're stupid.

He's a force of nature, but he's still alive. And massive.  Just moving around outside of water must expend a lot of energy.  He needed to save that energy for the hunt and after when he's tired or wounded.

It's f**king giant monsters, man.  A movie that attributes to the outlandish fantastical genre it's based on.

Missed this review a couple days ago, but I have to say that I pretty much agree 100% Omega.

Sequel or not I'm not really bothered. This movie didn't blow me away, but I didn't walk away completely hating it either. I had a ton of problems with it, but when it did something right it really delivered (that final fight especially). The best way to describe it is simply as another Godzilla film. It didn't revolutionize the creature or the genre like it seemed like it was trying to do. It just kind of sits alongside of most of Toho's work as another entry in the series, albeit with a much bigger budget and CGI monsters rather than men in suits (though I did appreciate the way the movement of the creatures felt kind of evocative of men in suits and puppets, Godzilla especially).
Yup yup!

Better than most of the series too.

Mah neigers. :)

I think the main difference between the two films could be summed up in their respective soundtracks.

The Pacific Rim theme: a rousing guitar anthem, designed to get the audience excited for action.
The Godzilla theme: a more suspenseful build, a degree of uncertainty, designed to set the audience up for something big and destructive.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HUcfO25Y4Po (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HUcfO25Y4Po)

Both themes are very good in their own ways. Both themes are appropriate to their films' respective tones.

Yes. Serious. As in no stupid comedy relief bullshit guy. No arnold/rambo guy. No stopping the bomb with one second to go. The hero, sort of, being saved by what we consider everyday heros vs the giant explosion ending of Pacific Rim. Oh and the lack of non-existent technology for that matter.

That's what I mean by serious. Not that it was trying to make a serious point or it had some grandiose meaning.

What do you mean?

The whole story of the second egg was tremendously cartoony done just for the purpose to have a fight in the US.

1. Why would Monarch, who are studying kaiju, give away one of the two pieces of a evidence they have?

2. Why did Americans take it?

3. I ask that because they tried to killed Gojira but they never bothered to study the egg.

4. Why was no one looking at the egg in the 15 years it was there?

5. No one noticed the tremendously huge beast growing there?

6. Why did Monarch, who knew where the egg was stored, never bothered to tell the Americans that these things suck radiation so they could take out of the nuclear dump?

Not only is it silly but the rules they setup are totally ignored too.
No reasons given why the egg was totally ignored in this world.

Quote2. Why did Americans take it?
Because they had nuclear waste facilities they could dump it in.

Quote3. I ask that because they tried to killed Gojira but they never bothered to study the egg.

They did study it. They flat out state they vivisected the thing and ran every test they could on it. Then when they were done, they put it in storage.

Quote5. No one noticed the tremendously huge beast growing there?
The place is closed. It's not manned.

Dump in a nuclear waste facility a creature the Monarch knows sucks up radiation and no one notices the huge thing grow. . .


QuoteThey did study it. They flat out state they vivisected the thing and ran every test they could on it. Then when they were done, they put it in storage.

Did they say they vivisected it? Cause this makes this worst. They cut open the creature to see it's insides and ... it regenerated and..... NO ONE NOTICED THIS!?!??!?!?

Doesnt this mean the two creatures are still alive? If you can cut it open to study it's insides then the damage gojira did to them is nothing.

QuoteThe place is closed. It's not manned.

So a place where radioactive waste is kept has no one looking at it and no sort of sensors in case of accidents?
Is that really how nuclear waste being looked after? Tremendous structural damage happens and no one notices?
If this is really how nuclear waste is kept i think i just became a serious anti-nuke activist.

It seems to approach it from a 'they did this on purpose and it is genius' perspective, whereas I think it makes more sense from a 'this was probably unintentional but does have retroactive value' point of view. Still, it illustrates some fascinating points.

In any case the muto was stored there before then and even if it loses funding the DOE would still fund it's daily operations with or without congressional funding for obvious safety reasons.

Yes, but it's easy to imagine there wasn't someone walking around the halls checking on each container.

What is stupid is no-one noticing the side of a mountain exploding out.

So you think the only way some one can tell what is going on inside a nuclear waste facility is by a guard walking by and looking in?
What is this, a 1950's low budget sci-fi movie?  :laugh:

Typically those facilities are already on contaminated ground anyways to discourage people from wanting to f**k with the waste.  Its more about people getting in then anything getting out.

Quote from: xeno-kaname on May 19, 2014, 11:51:56 AMI paid attention  :) I need tk rewatch some of these and a sort of guide is helpful. I watched them when I was younger amd don't remember some of them as much.

Cool, I'll go ahead and do the contemporary films then.  :)

The Best
Return of Godzilla - Make sure it's the Japanese version. There's currently no Region 1 release but this is almost a late 70s/early 80s disaster movie with a giant monster. I think it's cool Godzilla almost starts World War III. The only real problem is Godzilla doesn't really DO anything. But the movie has great atmosphere and a sense of Cold War tension.

Godzilla vs. Biollante - If the above was a disaster movie, this is basically an 80s action movie. With giant monsters. There's a LOT going on, but the movie is so engaging with Kawakita's best work during his tenure with the character. The only real issue is some bad Engrish and the score is very video game-y.

Godzilla 2000 - This is probably the only entry in the entire series improved by its American cut. Everything is tightened and the dub is one of the best. It's actually a nice introductory film for new comers, along with the new movie, if you don't have the original lying around that is.

GMK - Of the films I've listed so far, this is undeniably the best. It's easily the best Godzilla film since the 60s. Like Kaneko's first Gamera film this is just one big love letter to Honda and Tsuburaya. It's a wonderful, thoughtful sequel to the original and if you have to pick only a few of these, this should definitely be one.

"Guilty pleasures"
Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah - This is where the Heisei era begins to turn for the worse. It's still very entertaining, but even if Biollante is crazy at least it had a stylish, modern edge to it. This, along with the remainder of the era, hasn't aged well at all and Kawakita's laziness has already set in.

Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla II - There's a lot wrong with this movie, but I do find myself enjoying it, it's probably the last hurrah of the era. They probably could have ended it right here (and they would have if TriStar had made their film earlier). That said, the score is one of Ifukube's best and the final battle, despite its flaws, is very flashy and fun. The ending is very nice.

Godzilla vs. Destoroyah - The movie relies far too much on the whole 'Godzilla dies' angle. There's no overlying sense of dread or tension you would expect with a giant nuclear dinosaur about to explode and take the earth with it. Destoroyah is an overblown design and the human characters don't do much aside from watch the action on monitors. But like the above Ifukube's score is powerful as is the ending. They just dragged this series on for too long.

Tezuka
Godzilla vs. Megaguirus - The problem with Tezuka's work is it feels awfully made for television. It's like a bland, procedural anime brought to life. It has some of the most ridiculous, outlandish concepts in the entire series, even for giant monster standards (black hole guns?). The characters are annoying, but at least the fights are more entertaining than the bumpy, spark-fests brought by Kawakita.

Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla - Probably Tezuka's best movie, but it still shares the same flaws as the above, just a bit more engaging and thought out. If there's one thing I like about these is it at least feels like Tezuka is a fan with a certain level of understanding of the character. The problem is though he's not a very good storyteller, and Godzilla doesn't have much to do in the movie. The score, like the above, is great too.

Godzilla: Tokyo SOS - If there's a certain level of fun to the first Kiryu film, it's repeated here but not in a good way. It's basically the same movie with Mothra. The movie looks and sounds great with an outstanding Mothra design, but the new characters fill the same roles as those in the first film... why not just bring those guys back?

Even I think they're bad
Godzilla vs. Mothra - Okawara's first film doesn't have much to do with Godzilla at all. It's more of a Mothra/Battra film. You could say that about the new movie with the MUTOs, but the film here is no way as strong in an audio/visual storytelling level. The movie is just embarrassing, the flying Mothra and Battra props are lifeless, the characters are sappy, and the Indiana Jones rip-off at the start is cringe-inducing. Again, there is a nice Ifukube score.

Godzilla vs. SpaceGodzilla - The movie is a disaster on so many levels. Kawakita's worst work, the score is underwhelming, the final battle goes on for way too long, and the main character we've seen since 89 is no more developed than when we first saw her. It just embodies everything wrong with the Heisei series.

Godzilla: Final Wars - I like to think Godzilla fans are kindred spirits, that we can see the inherent charm to even the worst of these movies, but I see little to no redeeming qualities to this movie. At least the above movies still FEEL like Godzilla, this is something else entirely. You think a Destroy All Monsters inspired, 50th anniversary film, with the highest budget in the series, would at least be a visual wonder, but no. Most of the movie looks like a horrific, indulging fan film. I like to think the film bombed HARD in Japan, not just because audiences were burnt out on monster movies (and still are), but because they realized just how truly awful this movie is.

Well there ya go, again. If anyone missed my Showa rundown...
Spoiler
Essential
Godzilla - The one that started it all, if you watch any of them, it should be this.

Mothra vs. Godzilla - Simply the best after the original, the ultimate Godzilla sequel in many ways.

Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Monster - Godzilla becomes more of a reluctant hero, but the plot is so strong on both sides it feels very natural and satisfying.

Invasion of Astro-Monster - More of an out-there alien invasion movie but the characters are fun with some iconic imagery (the movie is more than three seconds of Godzilla dancing).

Destroy All Monsters - The characters are admittedly a bit bland, but the movie is on a scale unlike any Showa entry and the final battle is probably Tsuburaya's crowning achievement.

Other fun movies
King Kong vs. Godzilla - Make sure it's the Japanese version. The plot feels like a blueprint for future endeavors but it's Kong vs. Godzilla!

Ebirah, Horror of the Deep - Just a fun movie in many ways, the characters are jumpy and engaging and the island set pieces are a nice change from cities.

Son of Godzilla - Don't let the Godzilla and Minilla suits put you off, this is undeniably Fukuda's best G-film. The giant bugs are brought to life brilliantly, the characters are fun and the ending is very heartwarming.

All Monsters Attack - An underrated gem in the series. It's not a traditional G-film on any level (aside from monster action I guess) but the film is a satisfying little time capsule of Japanese life in the late 1960s.

Godzilla vs. Hedorah - Another interesting experiment. It's very trippy and while not as subtle as the original (if you can call it that), it has a nice message.

And the rest..
Godzilla Raids Again - The black and white photography is nice and connects to the original, but the movie is overall just too drab. The score and animalistic fights are nice though, as is the airplane model work.

Godzilla vs. Gigan - Definitely a more 'traditional' Godzilla film in the wake of Hedorah, but the movie has very unique and fun characters, it sort of has everything Westerners see in Godzilla movies: Monster Island, aliens, tag team monster fights, etc.

Godzilla vs. Megalon - Sort of the poor man's Gigan. Probably the lowest point in the first series. The filmmakers were just crushed by the little time and money they had.

Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla - Fukuda rebounds with a Godzilla classic. It sums up everything about his style - fun, energetic characters, gun fights, jazzy Masaru Sato tunes, etc. It's still a 70s G-film though, so there are aliens, extended multiple monster fights and other craziness.

Terror of Mechagodzilla - If the above is the ultimate Fukuda 70s films, this is Honda's version of that. Very stark, melancholy, with an all-around depressing feel. It's like they knew this was going to be this last one for a while. The romance is a little melodramatic, but it works in a way a similar dynamic in Astro-Monster didn't. Ifukube's music at the end is just devastating.

Godzilla 2000 - This is probably the only entry in the entire series improved by its American cut. Everything is tightened and the dub is one of the best. It's actually a nice introductory film for new comers, along with the new movie, if you don't have the original lying around that is.

GMK - Of the films I've listed so far, this is undeniably the best. It's easily the best Godzilla film since the 60s. Like Kaneko's first Gamera film this is just one big love letter to Honda and Tsuburaya. It's a wonderful, thoughtful sequel to the original and if you have to pick only a few of these, this should definitely be one.

"Guilty pleasures"
Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah - This is where the Heisei era begins to turn for the worse. It's still very entertaining, but even if Biollante is crazy at least it had a stylish, modern edge to it. This, along with the remainder of the era, hasn't aged well at all and Kawakita's laziness has already set in.

Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla II - There's a lot wrong with this movie, but I do find myself enjoying it, it's probably the last hurrah of the era. They probably could have ended it right here (and they would have if TriStar had made their film earlier). That said, the score is one of Ifukube's best and the final battle, despite its flaws, is very flashy and fun. The ending is very nice.

Godzilla vs. Destoroyah - The movie relies far too much on the whole 'Godzilla dies' angle. There's no overlying sense of dread or tension you would expect with a giant nuclear dinosaur about to explode and take the earth with it. Destoroyah is an overblown design and the human characters don't do much aside from watch the action on monitors. But like the above Ifukube's score is powerful as is the ending. They just dragged this series on for too long.

Tezuka
Godzilla vs. Megaguirus - The problem with Tezuka's work is it feels awfully made for television. It's like a bland, procedural anime brought to life. It has some of the most ridiculous, outlandish concepts in the entire series, even for giant monster standards (black hole guns?). The characters are annoying, but at least the fights are more entertaining than the bumpy, spark-fests brought by Kawakita.

Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla - Probably Tezuka's best movie, but it still shares the same flaws as the above, just a bit more engaging and thought out. If there's one thing I like about these is it at least feels like Tezuka is a fan with a certain level of understanding of the character. The problem is though he's not a very good storyteller, and Godzilla doesn't have much to do in the movie. The score, like the above, is great too.

Godzilla: Tokyo SOS - If there's a certain level of fun to the first Kiryu film, it's repeated here but not in a good way. It's basically the same movie with Mothra. The movie looks and sounds great with an outstanding Mothra design, but the new characters fill the same roles as those in the first film... why not just bring those guys back?

Even I think they're bad
Godzilla vs. Mothra - Okawara's first film doesn't have much to do with Godzilla at all. It's more of a Mothra/Battra film. You could say that about the new movie with the MUTOs, but the film here is no way as strong in an audio/visual storytelling level. The movie is just embarrassing, the flying Mothra and Battra props are lifeless, the characters are sappy, and the Indiana Jones rip-off at the start is cringe-inducing. Again, there is a nice Ifukube score.

Godzilla vs. SpaceGodzilla - The movie is a disaster on so many levels. Kawakita's worst work, the score is underwhelming, the final battle goes on for way too long, and the main character we've seen since 89 is no more developed than when we first saw her. It just embodies everything wrong with the Heisei series.

Godzilla: Final Wars - I like to think Godzilla fans are kindred spirits, that we can see the inherent charm to even the worst of these movies, but I see little to no redeeming qualities to this movie. At least the above movies still FEEL like Godzilla, this is something else entirely. You think a Destroy All Monsters inspired, 50th anniversary film, with the highest budget in the series, would at least be a visual wonder, but no. Most of the movie looks like a horrific, indulging fan film. I like to think the film bombed HARD in Japan, not just because audiences were burnt out on monster movies (and still are), but because they realized just how truly awful this movie is.

Well there ya go, again. If anyone missed my Showa rundown...
Spoiler
Essential
Godzilla - The one that started it all, if you watch any of them, it should be this.

Mothra vs. Godzilla - Simply the best after the original, the ultimate Godzilla sequel in many ways.

Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Monster - Godzilla becomes more of a reluctant hero, but the plot is so strong on both sides it feels very natural and satisfying.

Invasion of Astro-Monster - More of an out-there alien invasion movie but the characters are fun with some iconic imagery (the movie is more than three seconds of Godzilla dancing).

Destroy All Monsters - The characters are admittedly a bit bland, but the movie is on a scale unlike any Showa entry and the final battle is probably Tsuburaya's crowning achievement.

Other fun movies
King Kong vs. Godzilla - Make sure it's the Japanese version. The plot feels like a blueprint for future endeavors but it's Kong vs. Godzilla!

Ebirah, Horror of the Deep - Just a fun movie in many ways, the characters are jumpy and engaging and the island set pieces are a nice change from cities.

Son of Godzilla - Don't let the Godzilla and Minilla suits put you off, this is undeniably Fukuda's best G-film. The giant bugs are brought to life brilliantly, the characters are fun and the ending is very heartwarming.

All Monsters Attack - An underrated gem in the series. It's not a traditional G-film on any level (aside from monster action I guess) but the film is a satisfying little time capsule of Japanese life in the late 1960s.

Godzilla vs. Hedorah - Another interesting experiment. It's very trippy and while not as subtle as the original (if you can call it that), it has a nice message.

And the rest..
Godzilla Raids Again - The black and white photography is nice and connects to the original, but the movie is overall just too drab. The score and animalistic fights are nice though, as is the airplane model work.

Godzilla vs. Gigan - Definitely a more 'traditional' Godzilla film in the wake of Hedorah, but the movie has very unique and fun characters, it sort of has everything Westerners see in Godzilla movies: Monster Island, aliens, tag team monster fights, etc.

Godzilla vs. Megalon - Sort of the poor man's Gigan. Probably the lowest point in the first series. The filmmakers were just crushed by the little time and money they had.

Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla - Fukuda rebounds with a Godzilla classic. It sums up everything about his style - fun, energetic characters, gun fights, jazzy Masaru Sato tunes, etc. It's still a 70s G-film though, so there are aliens, extended multiple monster fights and other craziness.

Terror of Mechagodzilla - If the above is the ultimate Fukuda 70s films, this is Honda's version of that. Very stark, melancholy, with an all-around depressing feel. It's like they knew this was going to be this last one for a while. The romance is a little melodramatic, but it works in a way a similar dynamic in Astro-Monster didn't. Ifukube's music at the end is just devastating.

I just finished the Art Of book. It's so damn beautiful, and the insights into the creative process are pretty amazing. Some of the concept art essentially made it into the film unchanged. The HALO jump is practically identical. That doesn't happen often.

So, a lot of people worked on the script, but the only one with any real credit is Max Borenstein, who evidently wrote the draft that every subsequent writer merely tweaked. David Callaham seems to have as much to do with the final product as Zak Penn did with The Avengers-- ie, he wrote a draft that had been commissioned and was junked entirely.

Godzilla's landfall in Hawaii is one of the strongest sequences in the movie and a masterfully designed scene.

As for the shot changes, the roaring at our face thing is a strong image, but I found something chilling about catching a glimpse of the battle. These two building sized monsters colliding, and we can't even get a good look at it, despite the fact that it has a high chance of wiping us out.

And the overhead shot of Godzilla fighting the Muto is hellishly scary.

Nigs it just changes the inherent tone of the scene. I guess it just depends on which is preferred.

Spoiler
The choice of perspective is one of the things i love about the shot. But IMO, it was better in the trailer because we were stil mislead about Godzilla being the threat of the movie (or at least one of them. ) it feels like they're trying to get away from this monster that is hunting us.

With the new shot, as cray as it would be to see this clash of monsters, it feels like they're just like "oh shit we nees to get out of the way." Yet again losing some focus from Godzilla. They're trying to get away from a disaster, not from a thing hunting them.

I know even if it was that type of movie Godzilla wouldn't be hunting tiny packs of humans, bur the shot was made to instill that illogical fear. It was great.

Honestly, I wouldn't have minded to see this exact shot be followed up by the MUTO coming out from beside the, building of the doors closing, to explain why Godzilla was roaring in that direction.

Just got back from seeing it. It was okay, can't help but feel a little disappointed. Even though the movie is very much centred around the military, they hardly did a damn thing. No huge tank battles, rockets, battleships, air battles. And Godzilla wasn't even the star of the film. Effects were good I suppose but it's nothing Pacific Rim and Cloverfield hasn't already done. I still prefer the '98 version. The action scenes were just so much better in that and I actually prefer that design of Godzilla too. Seemed a lot more agile in the 98 version.

I keep hearing that the military is stupid in the new movie, but are they anywhere near as incompetent as they were in 98? :laugh:

No they're not nearly as dumb in the new one as they were in the '98 film.
I think people have real world aspirations of the US Military that are just not true. Movie armies and real armies are two different things. The idea that they even had a plan as igneous as nuclear bait is amazing. Plus no army is going to just send it's entire forces to one area. That's asinine. Plus all of this takes time to accomplish, real world time.

However the solider in godzilla98 were dysfunctional at best. They caused more destruction attacking the lizard then the lizard ever did on it's own. Plus there was way the f**k to many helicopters in that one scene.

That was Jean Reno's swan song. He was the toast of the 90s. After Godzilla I honestly don't remember him having an impact on anything that came after. Although he did do Ronin which was the same year, and that's badass.

That carrier group surrounding Gojira as it was swimming to the US were freaking super duper close, that was tremendously stupid on every level imaginable. They began to shoot at Gojira when he popped up in front of the bridge when there was troops there on top of civilians on the bridge. And then they were going to detonate a nuke and the projection of the fallout showed that half of california was going to be affected.

I guess the last thing they had no option because there's nothing else that could be done?

A nuclear weapon could destroy the muto by sheer force of the explosion, if a peice of building can pierce the head of muto droping a bomb or even a daisy cutter on them would wipe them out.

A nuclear weapon could destroy the muto by sheer force of the explosion, if a peice of building can pierce the head of muto droping a bomb or even a daisy cutter on them would wipe them out.

Want to elaborate on the math here?

I question why the military brought the nukes through the Bay Area when their whole plan was to try and use the nuke to lure the creatures away from the Bay Area. Why not just fly them on a couple of Hercules carriers over the ocean, keeping a wide berth of all populated regions?

The female MUTO wouldn't be able to fight Godzilla in open water, so it would avoid the aquatic territories.

If the muto's used an EMP discharge near the plane... bye bye plan, probably before it was carried out fully. :P And they probably would be attracted by the radiation? Eh.

Of course, it would probably be as damned a plan as taking the bomb by train was. :P

What do you mean, the math? Getting hit against a building by a tale is not comparable to the sheer force of a nuclear blast.

Godzilla 2014:
Opening weekend, domestic-- $93,188,384

Godzilla 1998:
Opening weekend, domestic-- $44,047,541

In the 4 days it's been open since its domestic release, G2014 has grossed $204,260,422 internationally. In its lifetime, G1998 made $379,014,294 internationally.

In what way is the new film 'on track' with the last American attempt? The new film only has to make roughly $40 million more domestically to catch up to the domestic gross of its forebearer and it's going to do much better than that by the end of its run.

You forgot to mention this thing's sequel has been announced a couple of days out of release. While the 98 version in comparison almost killed the franchise. It's really irrelevant if the new one makes more or less than the 98 version it proved that this franchise isn't box office poison anymore.

Correct, it's not comparable. The battle has focused blow on small areas while the nuke is just a shockwave evenly spread. Look at the videos after A-bombs go off, the damage is not as tremendous as some people think it would be.

Given that it's making the same amount as G98 how can 98 be called BO poison?
People not wanting to deal with it is more like it. Now we have some folks that feel like dealing with it.
Some one said that the main dude in charge of Legendary personally wanted this so that gives the film more traction than anything else.

I kinda prefer the roar in 98 over the 2014 roar. While 2014 is okay, I don't quite feel it's on par with any of the other Godzilla roars, 98 included.

By virtue of being a nonsequel coming off from a 16 year generally reviled remake, and yet still making enough to rival Captain America the Winter Soldier. The biggest box office success this year. Warner's eagerness to make it sequel shows it's a success while after the 98 film no one wanted to touch the franchise. That is the difference between the two.

Box office poison?  Godzilla made $379,000,000 close to two decades ago and cost $130,000,000 with another 79 mil in rentals.  I fail to see how something that almost tripled its budget in gross could be looked at as something of a failure.



It was also the first American kaiju movie I can remember unless you want to go all the way back to the fifties.  Since then we've had Zilla, Cloverfield and Pacific Rim.  People would be a little bit more culturally aware of big kaiju monster movies nowadays than they were back then.  It's always dangerous to be the first of your kind.

If you adjusted Godzilla's worldwide gross for today's inflation it would've made 541 million large.  Not bad for box office poison.

I think the poison aspect they are referring to is that G98 was projected to gross so much more due to it's initial tracking, but reception and word of mouth hindered it dramatically.

I never said the first movie was a flop. The movie was financially successful but was so universally loathed that Sony didn't make a sequel and let the rights expire when it was originally planned to start a trilogy.

The character hadn't been touched by an American company for 16 years, since they regarded the character as "box office poison" due to the the failure to live up to expectations in the 98 film.

Look no further than this year to how some regarded Godzilla 2014's chances.

They knew it was pregnant beforehand, and knew that they would take the nuke to their nest for feeding. That's what Dr. Sarizawa told the military, and then the plan was formulated.

They also put it on the train before the land MUTO came about, and the purpose of the train wasn't speed, but stealth through land and tunnels.

Plus the flying MUTO was clearly faster than any Jet.

I question why the military brought the nukes through the Bay Area when their whole plan was to try and use the nuke to lure the creatures away from the Bay Area. Why not just fly them on a couple of Hercules carriers over the ocean, keeping a wide berth of all populated regions?

The female MUTO wouldn't be able to fight Godzilla in open water, so it would avoid the aquatic territories.

Fine; fly it to the coast where there's no cities. Why the hell would you take it by train? And why would you lead it through the middle of the Bay Area, which has 8 million people living in it, when the whole point of the plan is to try and lure the creatures away from population centres? Just seemed very poorly thought-out.


lolwut

It wanted to take out the nest as well, which was in the middle of the city.

Flying the nuke in wouldn't work because of the flying MUTO that was targeting everything nuclear. Wouldn't have reached any destination.

The nest hadn't been made until after the train plan f**ked up. Hell, the military didn't even seen that concerned with it. Only Brody seemed to notice it.

Plus jets be goin' waaaaaaaaay faster than a maddaf**kin' train.

lolwat

They knew it was pregnant beforehand, and knew that they would take the nuke to their nest for feeding. That's what Dr. Sarizawa told the military, and then the plan was formulated.

They also put it on the train before the land MUTO came about, and the purpose of the train wasn't speed, but stealth through land and tunnels.

Plus the flying MUTO was clearly faster than any Jet.


Yes.  All those times that flying MUTO broke the sound barrier or came close to doing it on film.  Silly us for forgetting.

Your speed argument holds no ground for they used a train, a form of transport which is slower than going by car. And there was zero indication that the MUTO traveled faster than any jet.

They never once mentioned using the nuke to blow up the nest, because the nest didn't exist when they made the plan. All they were trying to do was lure the monsters away from cities and then blow them up, 20 miles out to sea. The nest didn't even exist until after the male MUTO brought the nuke to the female after the train was derailed.

And there was also no indication that a jet was faster than the MUTO. SO both ways is conjecture.

wut lol

They didn't know where the nest was, but they hypothesized that they would want the nuke for the nest. Hence the tracking device to locate the nuke. They could've shipped that nuke to Anartica and it would've been brought back to the Bay Area, where all the creatures converged and roosted.

...and Dr. Sarizawa, again, came to that conclusion and told the military that a nest was likely in existence to to be created, and that they needed to sustain it with nuclear energy... so...

As soon as the female MUTO broke out of Nevada, the Doctor automatically knew that these were two genders, and intended to mate. He also knew that they nested underground. The military was well aware of what the animals were doing. The nuke wasn't just to divert them... it was to bring them into proximity with each other.

No one is saying that the nest existed SpaceMarines...lol. They just knew that there would be one, and that was where all food sources were going. They wanted to take them all out if possible.

What do you mean, the math? Getting hit against a building by a tale is not comparable to the sheer force of a nuclear blast.

Correct, it's not comparable. The battle has focused blow on small areas while the nuke is just a shockwave evenly spread. Look at the videos after A-bombs go off, the damage is not as tremendous as some people think it would be. 
Are you honestly saying you think an atomic bomb blast would be less fatal than getting hit against a building?

In what way is the new film 'on track' with the last American attempt? The new film only has to make roughly $40 million more domestically to catch up to the domestic gross of its forebearer and it's going to do much better than that by the end of its run.

So it's on track.....

It outpaced the '98 film. Double the opening weekend, and that's just domestic. Worldwide it's already outdone that film's opening weekend. It's not on track to that film's gross. Unless it drops off drastically this weekend, it's essentially already won.

The same thing happened in Japan. Even without the nuclear plant there should be radiation. However there was absolutely nothing. Meaning, somehow, the winged MUTO absorbed radiation over long distance. They should be able to open those nuclear waste drums and dump the stuff out without any "radioactive" danger.

I don't think it needed to attack or literally 'feed' on anything in that stage of its development. The male dug into Janjira and settled into the reactor. The female was brought to a place that happened to store nuclear waste and soaked in the surrounding radiation.

And both were dumb movies, we're talking about the sheer amount and degree of their situational dumbness. Haven't head anybody on here disputing that PR was the champ of that, but a lot feel like it made up for it.

I agreed to some degree with his points. And yes they are both inherent dumb movies if were talking about realism, but even them I feel Pacific Rim was more thought out than Godzilla. The human set pieces just felt messy. And God tier ATJ that survives and conveniently findd himself in every set piece. Not only was he the only survivor of the train scene but he was relatively unharmed, to the point where he's begging to help out. Which is admirable but cmon.

Nothing tops the silliness of the sword scene in PR though. Yet I still feel PR's plot was more consistent than Godzilla's. Maybe because of the multiple writers and scripts Godzilla had.

I have. And I was expecting something akin to the original film, as that's the kind of movie the trailers made this look like; something with a dark tone and relatable characters. Instead, this was more like the endless amount of "vs" movies in the series; very silly with very few characters of any sort that I cared about.

The start of the film was excellent; kept in tone with the original, and featured a fairly interesting cast. Then

The difference is, PR didn't pretend to be anything it wasn't. It knew exactly how silly it was, and wore that on its sleeve. Godzilla tried to be a dark and serious film, and that just didn't work. The tone clashed too much with the actual content of the film. It was the same problem that TASM had.

The Godzilla trailers were darker and serious, the film itself and it's tone was consistent with the content. We didn't get a serious tone paired with Pacific Rim logic and mindless action sequences.

Speaking of money, and the box office discussion from a few pages back:

(1) The 98 Godzilla, in adjusted dollars, earned ~$230 mil. That's the bar for success, domestically, and 1 I don't think it'll have trouble hitting on it's current trajectory. Still, it's not as if it's going to blow it out of the water.

(2) Comparing opening weekends is silly. Why, you ask? The 98 didn't open on a Friday.

(3) A point of interest, at least to me, is that 64% of 98 Godzilla's WW haul of ~$380 mil came from overseas. I think that really speaks to the global appeal of Godzilla. Sure wouldn't mind seeing it duplicate that trend in 2014.

(4) The 98 Godzilla finished as the 9th highest grossing film of that year. So no, it wasn't the BO bomb that some people make it out to be.

(5) That said, using adjusted dollars, the budget for the 98 Godzilla is substantially higher (50+ mil) than this reboot. Whereas the 98 Godzilla only eclipsed it's budget domestically, it's 2014 counterpart will have earned it back by the conclusion of Memorial Day Weekend.

----------

And I'm sticking with "nitpicking". Huge flaws? I see none. Seriously. The overall plot is sound. Trivial leaps of logic are par for the course given the genre, both in reference to Godzilla and Sci-Fi/Disaster movies. My only gripe is the blandness of ATJ, and it's far from enough to take away from my overall enjoyment of it.

I'm also happy it that it was "Godzilla vs.". You think this was silly? Go tell that to the aliens from the 3rd planet of the black hole. Maybe take a ride back to the 1940's with the futurians, but be sure they don't leave any Ghidorats behind!

The ad campaign was great. Strong enough to get a lot of people in the theater opening weekend. Then ... word of mouth. The cat was out of the bag. The jig was up. Box office doesn't represent whether a film is good or not.

Godzilla 1998 was the third highest grossing film of that year just behind Saving Private Ryan and  :laugh: Armageddon :laugh:. But one of the most memorable and endearing, enduring films of that year ... a true classic in every sense of the word, that was not on any lists in 1998.

Godzilla 1998 didn't get a sequel because the studio knew they blew their wad on the deception of the ad campaign. It was a one trick pony. A somewhat fun but more disappointing one trick pony that bucks you off and stomps on your nuts if you were a Godzilla fan.  :laugh:

But it is what it is. It wasn't the worst Godzilla film ever made. Certainly not!

Thank you Spidey and Bat Chain.  Those are precisely the points that people are missing (or deliberately ignoring) about the two films. 

Seems like we're just dealing with folks that require serious logic for everything in film.; that or "Oscar worthy" performances from its actors. That's what happens when you exert all your focus on these indie movies.  Those films need compelling performances to draw interest in their films.  It's one type of genre.  Godzilla is something else entirely.  And in all honesty, the original Gojira's actors performed no different from the 2014 film.

Learn to separate marketing from the actual film; look at it as its own thing.

Besides, the film does have a series tone, its just a serious take on the sillier "vs" style Godzilla films. There is potent visual imagery all over this film that keeps it serious.

Which is essentially spoiling your initial impression of the movie.  Plenty of movie trailers do this.

In all honesty, the trailers didn't really lie to anybody - aside from some of the shots that have been altered while still remaining similar; only with added action or objects.  The trailers never really portrayed Godzilla as a destructive force towards the humans.  The taglines only described him as a character.  He was all of that, but toward the MUTO.  Humans were simply the witnesses of his devine power. 

Basically, the promo material didn't literally imply the idea that many ultimately fantasized.  I think folks really just wanted to see an intentionally destructive asshole Godzilla; and that didn't fit with the studio's vision

Why?  Because it ruins the potential for Godzilla to be a feared force of nature in the next film?  Look at what they did with Batman at the end of TDK.

It wasn't like Godzilla was doing his skipping dance for the camera either.  Just did his job and went back home.

He's a giant monster that had just destroyed two major American cities (in conjunction with two other giant monsters), being directly responsible for hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of deaths.

That's why it's stupid.

You're saying, if you were there, you wouldn't be cheering him off?!
I would. It's Godzilla.

If he hadn't intervened, there would be no cities and humanity would've have been effectively wiped out. And as soon as he got rid of the near MUTO infestation, he went right back home.

Besides, the film does have a series tone, its just a serious take on the sillier "vs" style Godzilla films. There is potent visual imagery all over this film that keeps it serious.

They were saying they were making a more realistic take of the monster film, they did not say this movie has a serious tone.
Those a two different things.


Quote from: Requiem28 on May 21, 2014, 05:31:46 PM
Which is essentially spoiling your initial impression of the movie.  Plenty of movie trailers do this.

???  So when you go to see movies you dont even know what movie you are seeing? You just go to a theater, drop some money and let the cashier pick?

Well, if you function like that, thats cool but that's not the norm.

Quote
In all honesty, the trailers didn't really lie to anybody - aside from some of the shots that have been altered while still remaining similar; only with added action or objects.  The trailers never really portrayed Godzilla as a destructive force towards the humans.  The taglines only described him as a character.  He was all of that, but toward the MUTO.  Humans were simply the witnesses of his devine power. 

Basically, the promo material didn't literally imply the idea that many ultimately fantasized.  I think folks really just wanted to see an intentionally destructive asshole Godzilla; and that didn't fit with the studio's vision

I am mostly talking about the interviews done by the creators which isnt fantasized.

He was in Honolulu and San Fran because of the Mutos. He's an unstoppable force to be reckoned with but one that just saved the entire human population from annihilation.

hehehehehehe dont u wish Pacific Rim was a quarter of as thought out as this was

Man they're about the same in that regard. Godzilla just hides it well using it's "serious" tone.

Weren't you the ear to SiL's rant addressing this a few days back? :P

And both were dumb movies, we're talking about the sheer amount and degree of their situational dumbness. Haven't head anybody on here disputing that PR was the champ of that, but a lot feel like it made up for it.

I agreed to some degree with his points. And yes they are both inherent dumb movies if were talking about realism, but even them I feel Pacific Rim was more thought out than Godzilla. The human set pieces just felt messy. And God tier ATJ that survives and conveniently findd himself in every set piece. Not only was he the only survivor of the train scene but he was relatively unharmed, to the point where he's begging to help out. Which is admirable but cmon.

Nothing tops the silliness of the sword scene in PR though. Yet I still feel PR's plot was more consistent than Godzilla's. Maybe because of the multiple writers and scripts Godzilla had.

You don't seem to be getting what I'm saying. A film and its marketing are two separate things. All the creative people involved in this movie did not control the way it was marketed; that is studio mandated. Marketing is meant to sell a film to the masses, and they often deceive them to achieve this. But at the end of the day the film is its own thing, and should be judged as a film first. Marketing should not play into the way you critique a film.

Whichever way you slice it, a stadium full of people cheering for Godzilla is monumentally stupid.

'twas cheesy as f**k and fit the franchise to a t. :laugh:

Honolulu wouldnt and didnt cheer his appearance.

But San Fran cheering for the monster that killed the two large beasts that wanted to nest in the city and take out the world via their offspring, then f**ked off to the depths of the ocean, while not killing any more humans along the way? Eh. Cheesy as hell, but enjoyable too. ;D I'll let it slide. Most people had been evacuated from San Fran at that point so most of the buildings destroyed on that final fight were empty. Making it easier to cheer for the monster.

Maybe the sequel will be about a small little girl whose parents got killed by Godzilla... teaming up psychically with another kaiju to get revenge on the big G. Only for Godzilla to end up saving her in the end. ;D

The only time they "lie" about something as a standard  is when it deals with people dying, or putting some one in the poster that isnt in the movie that much.  Sure, movies are sold in the best light possible but this wasnt that. This has the director saying this is a realistic take taking it back to the original and the original laughs at this film in terms of it being realistic. This was a straight up Showa hero Godzilla film. And if Gareth knew anything about Godzilla he should have been saying this.

By the way, i am not saying the film is bad, it's around average, but, sorry, when you say stuff like that and have tremendous kaiju size holes in the story they are going to be brought up. Dont tell me after the fact, "well it's a gojira movie." So what happened to the whole realism bit?

I don't mind a Godzilla movie with less action and 'splosions, I just wish they would've built suspense correctly. I think the only time I felt the suspense was in the bridge scene and when the MUTO was about to hatch, both of which I enjoyed.

Anyways, I'm done arguing about this movie. I liked it after all, I just think there were many areas they could've improved upon. At the end of the day, it's great to see Big G return to the big screen  ;D And I'm excited to see that a sequel is being developed. Maybe they will address some of the issues most had with the film.

The city was mostly evacuated at the point the BIG FIGHT goes down. The people in the stadium were shown to be the few one's left behind... and they got saved directly due to Godzilla's intervention. :P And they are the one's cheering him. Go figure.

Why are they fan-boys? Because you disagree with them? The movie did make a point to have Godzilla and Ford mirror each other. Super developed or not, can't people enjoy the movie even with its faults? It's not perfect but it does get a lot right.
It gets just as much wrong.

The audio/visual storytelling alone is above most big CG movies released over the past decade. That goes a long way.

From a directing point of view, every visual beat gave us information about the action (as opposed to simply the activity) of the scene. That's more than I can say for most summer blockbusters.

I found an old script and from what I read, I'm impressed Edward's did as well as he did. They really need to find a more experienced screenwriter.

Post by: Gilfryd on May 22, 2014, 05:52:27 AM
G98 admittedly had a nice sense of buildup but once Godzilla enters the city the movie comes to a screeching halt. So Godzilla hides underground forcing the characters to lure him out with fish? They temporarily kill him off in favor of shameless Jurassic Park nonsense that goes on for way too long? And then they bring the adult back only to kill him off again? All this punctuated by obnoxious characters that almost know they're in a silly, misguided movie.

At least when you see Godzilla in the new movie he's a big, pissed off, territorial force, and the earnest and confident story flows seamlessly scene to scene (despite its faults). And above all the movie is actually respectful to the character's legacy.

I liked Mothra but feel like another flying creature would be too similar.

Man I'm starting to agree with everyone here. If only this new Godzilla had the deep, multi-layered character development that the previous 300 Godzilla movies had, it could sit nicely beside the legacy of character depth and complex emotional drama that the original films are known for.
Title: Re: Godzilla
Post by: Blacklabel on May 22, 2014, 04:02:47 PM
...characters in this are at the same level of complexity as the original film. lolz. Joe Brody is probably more complex than Serizawa was in the original film...

the original was about nuclear weaponry and the danger of highly destructive weapons.

This one is all about how humanity is "nothing" compared to the might of nature. ...and if you disagree, then you are probably blind...  because Serizawa's dialogue practically flaunts the theme in the audience's face with the subtlety of an elephant herd..... all aided by the fact that all human attempts at killing the MUTO's result in failure.. (the nuclear bomb plot ends up being useless.) and it is "natural order" that solves it's own problem at the end of the film via an apex predator hunting and killing it's natural enemies, without any human aid necessary. characters are useless? How fitting for a film about nature vs man! lolz The Human character's are just there to "witness and survive" nature's power.

The film aint perfect, sure.. but at least it bothers to have a theme and spreads it to it's plot and action. And the characters arent annoying as f**k. Better than most mindless action fare out there. Oh and the setpieces in this were awesome sauce. Not too shabby.

Soundtrack could've been better and the Brody family could've had better characterization... but it's an ok film after all. Doesnt shit the bed of the Godzilla franchise (like the 98 Godzilla did.)

^@ Black, I liked the theme honestly, and how it rides on the premise of man's most powerful weapons (nuclear) being rendered useless by ironically making them the monsters food source. Not subtle, but it didn't bother me.

I'd rather have Ken Watanabe's performance than the usual idiot-level exposition delivery on a plate we've gotten in so many modern films.

I'd also add either Anguirus or Rodan as well, as Yellow Alien suggested. Hell, just titled the movie "Godzilla, Mothra, Rodan" and call it a day. And then King Ghidorah shows up for #3...

That's what I was thinking.  Anguirus would be cool, seeing as he was one of Godzilla's first monster opponents.  However, they did point a lot of cameos to Mothra in the movie, so I'd assume they'd want to bring her in to the sequel.

Yea, not a very creative design. 

Now that I think of it, I hope all of Godzilla's future opponents will be extra-terrestrial.  All the classic foes will be from another planet and Godzilla will be the only true native defender of earth, seeing as he presumably eliminated the last of earth's native enemy monsters (Muto)

But yes, I would also like to see more of Godzilla's force of nature aspect presented in the sequel.  However, Gareth did a good job of hinting at his destructive potential just by comparing his size to man-made objects and the catastrophic side effects of his presence when entering human populated areas.

Anguirus, Rodan, and Mothra please. Build the universe.

That's overkill.

Na, the 2nd film should be about establishing the roster of monsters, of the rise of the monsters, and that means bringing in the regulars. That way when Ghidorah invades in part 3 its on.  ;D
They hardly characterized Godzilla in the latest one they needs to bring the focus back to him in the next one. Throwing 3 monsters isn't really fixing that. Throw in Rodan and call it a day.

The way I see it, bringing in more monsters is how you characterize him more because it will have to establish the relationship between the monsters. Imagine a scene where it looks like Godzilla and Anguirus are about to fight but instead they recognize each other. That would be pretty awesome and establish the buddy relationship between the two.

People seem either like the human cast or dislike them. I admit that they are not perfect, but I like them enough to keep the story going. At least it's not AVPR where you have actors that feel like they came from a 80's Slasher film and feel like that they should be on the Disney Channel instead.

I have yet to see anyone who has really liked them. I attribute that to Max Borenstein's writing. Just looking at the writers on board such as David Callam, David Goyer, Max Borenstien.

I'm not surprised of all the hate the characters are getting.  Most reviews stated the beginning with Bryan Cranston was the best, and it shows as that was where Frank Darabont did much of his editing.

Get him for the sequel and the character will be fine.

Yea, not a very creative design. 

Now that I think of it, I hope all of Godzilla's future opponents will be extra-terrestrial.  All the classic foes will be from another planet and Godzilla will be the only true native defender of earth, seeing as he presumably eliminated the last of earth's native enemy monsters (Muto)

But yes, I would also like to see more of Godzilla's force of nature aspect presented in the sequel.  However, Gareth did a good job of hinting at his destructive potential just by comparing his size to man-made objects and the catastrophic side effects of his presence when entering human populated areas.

Space Godzilla, anyone?

I'd be fine with original monsters for this new series we're getting. I wouldn't mind seeing a few of the old favorites come back in some capacity. My top picks would be..

Anguirus, Rodan, Mothra, and King Ghidorah.

The Muto's incorporated a lot of features from the original Toho rogues gallery: Rodan like leathery wings, Mothra like life cycle, Gigan like ocular visor and hook hands ... etc. So I can see them steering away from those guys unless they have radical redesigns.

Yeah ... new monsters. Something that can mix it up with Godzilla in terms of brute force. Something that when we first see it we'll go "Oh shit, Godzilla is the underdog."

But equally important, if not more so, is new characters.

We'll obviously have two factions of humans in the next film. Those that want to destroy Godzilla and those who wish to protect/study him. I don't see Ford coming back unless he is asked to be on one team or the other due to his seemingly uncanny ability to be where the monsters are!  :laugh:

New stuff.

So it looks like Edwards may be too busy in a Galaxy Far Far Away to settle such earthly matters as a Godzilla sequel. At least for a while:

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-visi...godzilla-706636 (http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/star-wars-spinoff-hires-godzilla-706636)

Edward's is still signed on to direct the Godzilla sequel. From the same article:

QuoteWME-repped Edwards is attached to direct Godzilla 2 and 3, but while story ideas exist, the Godzilla 2 project is still in early development and does not even have a script.

So it's looking like a the Star Wars spin-off is close to going in production and Godzilla 2 will roll sometime afterwards. It's going to be a busy few years for the guy.

Update from The Hollywood Reporter article above

Thomas Tull congratulates Edwards on landing the Star Wars gig and reiterates that Edwards will be returning to Godzilla:

Quote"Gareth's filmmaking talent makes him one of his generation's most creative and visionary directors," said Legendary Entertainment's chairman and CEO Thomas Tull in a statement in response to the Star Wars hire. "The plan has always been for Gareth to direct a different film before we started on another Godzilla, but who knew it would a Star Wars installment? We have a great plan in store for Godzilla fans and I am looking forward to seeing Gareth's imprint on the Star Wars universe."

What a guy! Don't think I've seen a studio boss congratulate their talent on landing a gig with someone else before.

It's a little known fact that when you walk out on a railroad trestle you will always and without fail inadvertently drop any shit that you happen to be carrying and it will always fall between the slates and you will always watch it go all the way down and think "Why the f**k am I doing this?

Brian De Palma for Godzilla 2.

An apparently female Godzilla (in a luscious blond wig) will attack major cities, only for it to be revealed that this isnt a new Godzilla but is actually Godzilla's split personality. The final battle will be Godzilla against himself.

And then it will all be revealed as a dream.

Let us know what kind of scenes are kept in the novel that weren't in the movie.

It opens in 1954 with a fake out Godzilla breach that turns out to be an American submarine that scares the shit out of a bunch of villagers. Then it goes into the scene where they detonate the bomb that they hope destroys Godzilla.

I think the MTV edited opening montage/credits was out of place with the tone of the film. It would have served it better to have this scene play out and breath on it's own without music or dialogue as a sort of prologue to the film. Oh well.

Generally Serizawa should've been the main character instead of Generic Soldier 01.

I like how the two satirist liked the movie but the two clowns thought it sucked. Goes to show that people who understand movies appreciate that Godzilla was in fact a good movie and the guys who only want boom boom couldn't f**king understand what they were watching.

I still don't get why people cannot understand that Arron guy was playing a normal boring guy, cause that is what most people are in everyday life. Including soldiers and he did a great job at it. Plus humans are represented as being powerless. Now they're a lot of problems in the movie, like all movies and I can't wait to see honest trailers and everything wrong with Godzilla 2014 but the movie was brilliant for a super blockbuster/monster movie.

Taylor-Johnson did fine with what he was given, he just wasn't given much of anything to work with after the first thirty minutes. I don't think that "normal boring guy" is the most interesting or logical choice for a lead in a "super blockbuster/monster movie."

We're not supposed to focus on the people, it's about the ambiance and how nothing anyone does in the movie accomplishes anything against a force of nature.

The poor Cranston guy essentially dedicated his life to learning the circumstances that led to his wife's death and just about when he's question are to be answered, he dies. Worse yet, all that work didn't mean shit. It didn't stop anything aside from having a normal family life. But hey that is the price people pay.

A boring and normal guy who halo jumps to disarm a bomb, jumps from bridges to avoid burning trains and a giant monster, and also destroys a nest of Mutos single handedly. God he's so boring and normal for not talking so much.

He did it using his head and training instead of shooting from the hip. However by boring I meant no superhuman heroic bs. He parachutes to the ground and regroups vs landing on Godzillas head and punching him in the nose.

However, yes, as you put it, he certainly was not boring and I agree.  ;)

Also, I love how there was no stupid slapstick punk in the movie.

He's just kind of there to connect the dots from one set piece to the next. Sure, he does the HALO jump and he destroys a nest, but he's just so uninteresting while doing it. Once his father died he was pretty much just a blank slate for the rest of the film. He did things and physically progressed from one place to the next, but I never really felt like he drove the story or developed by the end. That would have been somewhat more forgivable if Godzilla was more present throughout the film, but unfortunately he too was completely overshadowed. I really felt Godzilla's  presence during his initial landfall sequence but after that he was much like Aaron Taylor-Johnson... on screen and doing things for no reason other than the script saying he does things. With a little tweaking Godzilla could have been removed entirely. The MUTOs were much more interesting and did more to drive the story than he did. Godzilla just kind of showed up to fight them from time to time.

lolz. it's an aspect that i think is really poorly handled... but it "is" there, i think.

That character doesnt get any big "crying scenes" over the death of his father or any melodramatic "now i must get my revengezorz!". We didnt even get to see the exact moment where Bryan Cranston's character dies. followed by a big NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO from the lead character wich is totally the sort of character beats these big blockbuster films like to "beat the crowd with". Always set to really melodramatic music in a really manipulative way. It's "blockbuster writing 101".

Their absence felt interesting to me and that's why i think the character is undergoing a sort of "emotional blue screen of death" for the rest of the film... They just really really underplayed that about the character... so much so that the character just ended up feeling really vanilla. lolz

The father was someone he didnt seem too fond of at first and it took his wife to convice him to go to japan to get him out of jail. There was a lot of potential there for something truly interesting... but they didnt really use it.

The dude caused a tsunami that killed thousands of people simply by stepping out of the pool for all intensive purposes is an act of nature. Well to put in another way, does anyone stare at the hurricane as it passes? No, because the storm is so large that you can't actually see it. However you know you're in one because of the strong winds and toppled over trees. It's the same thing with Godzilla. Sure you can see him on tv, the same as a you can see a hurricane. However on the ground all you know is that shit is going down by all of the buildings going down. All the while like being caught is a flooding river, all you can do it try and survive the experience. Unlike another scenario, war for example, where there is a reason to the tragedy and it is propagated out as such. Animals fighting it out is an act of nature; giant monsters fighting it out is a natural disaster. :P

Apparently in this movie you can cause we all know what happens.
We got one scene of lone G destruction which is, in fact, preceded by one of the many, "excuse me" scenes.
Straight up, this is the least destructive Gojira next to any of the G films where he is in an island and there's nothing to break.

Post by: Hubbs on May 24, 2014, 03:13:02 AM
Well here's my theory to why this film has done so well straight off the bat. Everybody was really excited to see the film, the trailers looked great, it promised a lot and Godzilla is of course very popular.

So everyone has gone to see the film right away hence its done big business. But from what I'm reading virtually everywhere is that the majority are disappointed with the film, not a bad film, just not what many wanted to see, tiny bit of a let down in all honesty. So methinks as time passes this film may come down in takings quite quickly after the hype dies down. I could be wrong of course.

So planning for two more films to me seems like a big gamble. They would have to give people what they wanted originally for the sequel otherwise it will just fade out. I don't think another film like this will do as well.

It made $117 million domestically in its first seven days. Another $103 million worldwide.

If everyone was disappointed it would've dropped off immediately. It wouldn't have smashed it out in the opening weekend: word travels fast and not every jacked up blockbuster does well opening weekend.

Would it kill you to watch the movie before trying to talk shit about it, or what?

OK...many many films do very well on an opening weekend, no biggie. Thirdly, word is travelling fast that the film is not as good as many have expected. I think the new X-Men film will swallow this up fast.

Lastly I'm not talking shit about it, I'm merely saying what I'm seeing eg. many folks are disappointed with the film, not a bad film, but just not what they expected. That's just simple observations from other forums, YT clips and news.

I'm just saying if they wanna do two more films they will have to change the formula quite a bit.

f**k it just dawned on me why americans would be cheering for Godzilla.

"Men, all this stuff you hear about America not wanting to fight, wanting to stay out of the war, is a lot of bullshit. Americans love to fight. All real Americans love the sting and clash of battle. When you were kids, you all admired the champion marble shooter, the fastest runner, the big-league ball players and the toughest boxers. Americans love a winner and will not tolerate a loser. Americans play to win all the time. That's why Americans have never lost and will never lose a war. The very thought of losing is hateful to Americans. Battle is the most significant competition in which a man can indulge. It brings out all that is best and it removes all that is base."

Damn right, we cheer for the winner. Even if it three cities were flattened.  :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Although I'm not really sure about that always winning part. :P

I think the new X-Men film will swallow this up fast.

Bawhahah. Nope. Just got back from X-Men. Not going to be swallowing anything up. My packed house on Saturday night might as well have been mannequins. Not a peep (except for Quick Sliver) then they went right back to sleep.

Packed house with Godzilla got a standing ovation. And excited chatter from all leaving the theater. It was like a party.
Yet when I saw Godzilla only fifteen people showed up but when I saw X-Men it was completely packed. Personal examples mean nothing in the grand scheme.

Well Xmen DoFP made a little over $8 million on its openingThursday nite while  Godzilla made close to $10 million on its opening Thursday of last week. Boxoffice Mojo is predicting a opening weekend for Xmen DoFP of a little under $100 million this weekend not including Memorial Day while Godzilla is projected to make around $40 million on its second weekend.  Which that would bring Godzillas total to around $160 million in the US alone.

Went to the 7PM Thursday IMAX showing of Godzilla, wasn't a sell out by far, about 75%. On Saturday it was sell out after sell out though. Saw the movie again on bargain Tuesday and it was packed. Pretty sure it was 90% imax vs 10% normal theater experience at this theater. So it's making more money just from higher ticket prices.

The thing about Xmen though, it's wearing thin. The last wolverine movie was too damn long and boring. Plus the last stand wasn't good. Kind of tired of it already.

I do find reading others recaps/opinions on Godzilla films interesting, but it's just that I so often disagree. So called classics such as King Kong vs Godzilla, or Mothra vs. Godzilla, I find to be only mediocre. Seems most admit to KK v G being a classic more so for it's premise than execution, however. I want to know who considers Godzilla vs. MechaGodzilla to be the low point of the Heisi series, as it's in my top-5 All-Time. My absolute favorite Godzilla movie though, if anyone is wondering, is GMK: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack. Feel free to tell me how I'm wrong :P

I was referring to the 1993 MechaGodzilla. He, in his recap he said it was considered by some to be a low-point of the Heisi series. I do like the original MechaGodzilla too though, mostly for how completely absurd the plot is. It's true, King Ceasar is awful. Incredible that he even has his own theme song...

Glad you agree! I mean, I know of others that think highly of it, but some seemingly found the plot to be too outlandish, which really seems like an absurd criticism for a Godzilla movie

Oh, the Heisei one. I like that one a lot, as well. The usual criticisms I've seen are that there's too much beam spamming, that it's not vs Biollante, and that MechaGodzilla doesn't look "mean enough."

Nothing happened there that you haven't seen in the trailers.

the woman runs around for a bit longer, and then seeks shelter, as the doors close you see the monsters trying to bite each other briefly then it cuts away from the fight again so you miss nothing.

I think the means the writing.
The writing was bland. In this movie that was supposed to be more focused on the humans we have literal just one storyline, trying to stop the monster. Nothing else happens after Papa Ford dies. At that point we had something going but after he dies is just running around trying to stop the monsters from either the view of the command center or as a soldier. The story was so empty that they started adding random crap just to get us invested. That Japanese kid for example.... what the hell was that? Completely random. The kid being put in the bus that was in the bridge. I literally did not know that the kid was Super Brody's son because that kid did not make an impression at all and the only identifying thing i had to connect to the kid was the woman that he kid was left with because i know the actress. And that woman for some unknown reason did not have any scenes in bus while on the bridge. So i just thought this was a total random bus on the bridge.

The writing on this movie is mega bland for the serious character focused thing they were selling.

Nah. The Big G himself didn't really have any personality in this. The MUTOs had more than him.

I still think it was a mistake, having more monsters other than Godzilla in this movie. Felt less like Godzilla, more like A Movie With Godzilla In It.

I wasnt hung up is the point. I didnt know the kid was the son so i just thought it was yet another random scene to get us to care like the Japanese kid. And, really, there nothing else going on in the other shots in that part of the movie. Gojira careful avoiding not to sink ships, the Navy randomly shooting endangering everyone, and then Gojira just standing there taking hits until the right moment.

That whole secne was piles of uninteresting stuff happening.

Nice win on the first battle, it still hasnt passed foreign BO. Needs to make triple what i has now.
By next week it should beat G98 domestic but it would need to make another 140 mill to beat the foreign BO of that movie.

BEST REVIEWS SO FAR:

QuoteThis isn't a film about humans: their job here is to wander around looking vaguely stunned as their world is repeatedly turned upside down. So it's not surprising that while the somewhat bland Ford is the main man throughout the film, the story drifts between a range of characters. The monster research double act of Ken Watanabe and Sally Hawkins provides the awe; David Strathairn provides the big picture view as the Admiral in charge of the US Military response, facing what soon turns out to be an on-going disaster messing up the west coast. Stunning, reverential and awe-inspiring in the best way, Godzilla hammers home the insignificance of individuals in the face of such forces. It could almost have been done as a silent movie, so unimportant is almost all the humans' dialogue – but then we wouldn't have been able to hear Godzilla's screech, or the way the sound design at times renders the giant creature almost silent, like something in a dream.

QuoteI confess that, however much I enjoyed the boffo finale, I was taken aback by the upbeat slant.

The new Godzilla, by contrast, is sunny-side up. The slant isn't entirely new: In later Japanese films, the big lizard joined forces with Mothra, Rodan, etc. to foil extraterrestrials. (You could say the Japanese finally learned to stop worrying and love the bomb.) But Edwards and Co.'s reassuring message is tone-deaf to our own time. The M.U.T.O. were created by destructive human technology, but Nature, they say, is self-correcting, a Higher Power that dispatches an agent from the depths to protect us from the consequences of our arrogance.

1. This movie was sold to us on focusing more on the human drama but now it's not about the humans...

2. The whole focus on Jaws is on solving the Jaws problem. The whole focus of G2014 is solving the MUTO problems, getting G killed is a bonus.

3. MUTO were created by nature. And given that Earth was soooo radioactive that these thing could live fine.... i dont know how nuclear tech is destructive. Isnt using this tech natural in this world? And since these MUTO are natural why would nature self correct?

Godzilla simply was a better movie. For me pacific rim is like a a not interactive kaiju-meelee game... sure fun for some but not for the mainstream audience.

Besides the trailers for pacific rim focused on one thing: Monster/Robots fights! Fanboys love that... others don't care. Especially when you can't tell the difference between the monsters since they all resemble each other (Unlike Godzilla and the MUTO).

Godzilla's trailers on the other hand focused on another thing: Bryan Cranston. Pretty much a huge star after Breaking Bad, plus it was implied by his acting that this was going to be a human drama... guess what... a "non-fan" prefers something relatable like that over pacific rim.

I've many friends who didn't bother about pacific rim, but when they saw Cranston being in the Godzilla movie, they were already sold.

I'm really (pleasantly) surprised the 24" NECA figure is only $50, which means here in Canada it'll be close to $70, most likely. How the heck is this thing cheaper than their 1/4 scales of other figures when it's so large?

SciFi Japan has updated their Godzilla 2014 product guide -

I'm really (pleasantly) surprised the 24" NECA figure is only $50, which means here in Canada it'll be close to $70, most likely. How the heck is this thing cheaper than their 1/4 scales of other figures when it's so large?

Arent these NECA big figures the prototypes for their 7" figures?
They did the work for one and getting money from two sources.




Oh sh!t, son! Godzilla went down like he was fighting 2 Mutos! (http://www.boxofficemojo.com/news/?id=3848&p=.htm)

QuoteIn second place, Godzilla plummeted 66 percent to $31.4 million. While that decline is a bit better than Cloverfield's 68 percent, it's still much worse than most comparable titles. Thanks to strong marketing, moviegoers rushed out last weekend; unfortunately, the movie they saw wasn't exactly what was advertised. Combine that weak word-of-mouth with tough competition from X-Men, and a steep drop was in order. The movie has now earned $148.8 million, and is on pace to finish between $205 and $225 million.

In movie with giant monsters, I doubt the writers were concerned with the character's ear drums. They're already asking you to have a suspension of disbelief.

Obviously, but it's one of those things one notices :P

Yeah I agree. One of the greatest pulls of the movie, at least on the internet, was the varietu of monsters and mechs. Just on this forum alone there was manuy avatars and sigs for nearly every Kaiju and Jaeger, even those just left in concept art or in the prequel comic.

Ah man that's unfair to both supes and godzilla. Why doesn't anyone give the Avengers crap for all the mayhem and death they're apart of? Well the transformers too for that matter. Maybe this is another reason why Godzilla is a better movie, actually knowing that there is a massive human and economical price to be paid. That is a major theme of godzilla.

However in supes defense all tolled it was a bargain vs the entire planet being paved to make way for krypton 2.0. As far as Godzilla, he's not small, we just have to learn to get the f**k out of his way much faster. :P :laugh:

He really didn't care at all. If he did he would have been picking helpless people out from the tsunami in Hawaii (which he caused). He wouldn't have lifted himself out of the ocean taking battlships full of people with him, or smash through the San Francisco bridge while it was still populated with fleeing people.

I disagree. Given where Godzilla was in the water, it likely wasn't deep enough for him to be completely submerged so combined with his gigantic size, he was naturally going to knock some ships over. Then the military, being the idiots they were, opened fire after being told not to and made him rise out of the water. That's how I saw it, anyway.

In retrospect I really can't be surprised that Godzilla was portrayed as a hero in this film. Gareth did mention that he was first introduced to the Hanna Barbera cartoon as a child in the 70s.

(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fstream1.gifsoup.com%2Fview2%2F1241626%2Fhanna-barbera-o.gif&hash=9de881da8525dc30b78e787359b44a441b3e09e0)

One two many 'eye contact moments' for me. I almost feel like they are going to be calling Godzilla up with the press of a red button in the sequel.

I think they could have nudged him a little closer to being more ambivalent. They could have kept the chanting crowds (ala Avengers) and say they were suffering some a slight case of Stockholm Syndrome.

Ah bullshit, the reason he slows down and stops in the water in San Fransisco Bay is because of the tsunami he created in Hawaii. He was going to go around the bridge and it was the navy that hit the bridge with missiles in the first place. Hell if he didn't rise up out of the water it would have been the NAVY that killed the kids in the buses. Proof? He actually did walk around the bridge while taking all the fire. If not he would have either one, gone through the big hole in the bridge or two, walked through the bridge that was left standing.

If he cares for humans or not is debatable but at least he has some goddamn professional curtsey.

Godzilla doesn't intentionally destroy the bridge. He doesn't care that he does, but he doesn't go out of his way to do it.

I'm pretty sure he smashes through the bridge with the intention of doing so.

He turns, smashing through it, to then start his trudge towards the Mutos.

He doesn't care about us at all.

Yes, I also see him roaring in annoyance and turning around destroying the bridge.

The original debate however, was does Godzilla care about humans?

He wouldn't have smashed through the bridge like that if he wasn't being attacked.

I don't think he cares really, but he never retaliates or anything like the MUTOs do.

After that kind of welcome who would have blamed him if he raked the bridge clean. Which he could have, but didn't.

Poor ole Alien³ you just have to give it up and admit it, Godzilla is showing concern for the puny humans and their legos.

Trying to shove malevolence or benevolence on this Godzilla doesn't work
I think he just sort of does what he wants and the fact that he doesn't kill that many people is efficiency.
The Mutos are making a nest, they level the earth and prepare for nuclear radiation, while Godzilla just wants to destroy the Mutos and leave.
In the next movie, I'd love to have Godzilla rise out of the water to destroy or at least attack humanity for creating more nuclear weapons and such, and have Mothra show up to fight him. Eventually leading to a sort of cease fire like in the old 60's movie where Godzilla gets wrapped up by Mothra and thrown into the ocean until later.

That .gif just proves my point. He's clearly being knocked back by the explosions and his arms swing into the bridge. He's not doing it intentionally, but he doesn't give a shit that he does.

Well then why not just charge up and clear a part straight to mrs muto? He should have just chomped on the Saratoga's reactor and, whopp, fire half the city with that puppy. :P

He grabs the bridge cable so gently how can any one think he was doing anything other than being considerate.

As far as this movie goes, all I want to say apart from my complaint about the usual Hollywood minority/female character shafting, is what I posted on Facebook:

The greatest gift of the new Godzilla movie, whatever its flaws, has to be seeing just how many people liked it, people I would never have expected to enjoy a Godzilla movie. I'd always thought of Godzilla as more of a fringe interest with the public compared to so many other series, and so many classmates and adults I'd known from the last decade had expressed confusion or dismissiveness about the character. I ended up seeing the movie a week after it came out for my birthday, and in that interim old friends who once offered to let me introduce them to Godzilla (it didn't work out) saw it and loved it, cute girls at my school whom I don't have much to talk about with saw it and loved it, kids had birthday parties there and saw it and loved it, old teachers of mine saw it and loved it - even before I did. And those people who didn't like it? Their most universal complaint, from professional film critics to teachers' assistants, was that *there was not enough Godzilla in the movie*. That is the greatest gift of the new Godzilla movie: even those who don't like it *want to see more Godzilla*.

And what's especially awesome is that they got him so right in the movie, even going against the grain of partially misguided fan expectations in certain respects, and that that is the version that people now want to see. Add to this that it was executive producer Yoshimitsu Banno - the director of my favorite Godzilla movie who had been discouraged from directing any further films by the company due to the film's break from the norm - who originally brought this project to America and has now seen his artistic contributions to the series validated to the tune of over $300 million in the global Box office, and I am one happy man.

Because we've won. After all these years, my passions have won. My absolute favorite fictional character of many has conquered all bases, even those that disliked the actual film that he returned in. I don't have to impress anyone ever again. Godzilla is no longer just my "cool thing" within my personal frame of existence. He's everyone's.

Welcome back, Godzilla. It's good to have you home.

Now I just hope they get Rodan and Baragon right. :D

I think the same. He also did try to run when one of the buildings collapsed and turned to him. It doesn't matter how big you are, getting hit by thousands of tons of metal, glas and concrete simply hurts.

He was more than a match for both of them one-on-one. And if the male hadn't sucker-punched him like a bitch, he'd probably be able to take them both straight up.

You just like shitting on Godzilla, don't you?  :laugh:

People are still bitching about him going around buildings and aircraft carriers instead of through them? Come the f**k on, people. If you see a box in front of you, you f**king go around it.

He didn't mess with the boats because they were inconsequential to him. Like leaves on the surface of a lake. He tore through that bridge at much urging from those missiles. Even the way he stood there taking it, leaning against the bridge for a moment before just finally going 'okay f**k this, I'm going over here now.'

And the scene was framed with him way in the background when it actually happened. They were very careful when choosing to show Godzilla causing damage/harm to the city when he was on his own.

Yes, but the fact that he even leaned at all and didn't do it prior to being bombarded with explosives would suggest he didn't want to destroy the bridge in the first place and only did so by accident because they were pushing him in that direction.

Godzilla was on a mission to destroy the MUTOs. He wasn't concerned with us or our cities. Any destruction was just as byproduct of that goal (Hawaii, San Fran).

Haruo Nakajima has seen the new movie - here's a preview!

There isn't really that much to bitch about. I think I've met one person who said that they were indifferent toward Godzilla. They didn't love it or hate it. Every other person I've ever met who's seen the movie has either liked it, or loved it. Just the fact that the people who enjoyed the movie came into this thread, said they enjoyed it, and left, and the people who dislliked or hated it continued to have a "Godzilla was bad." circlejerk in here among themselves says a lot about how hard people are trying to find things to dislike/hate about the movie. And the fact that you all call us fanboys for loving it also really points toward that fact.

People are free to point out flaws. I don't care. I'm just saying I find it funny that only the people who disliked the movie continue to bitch about everything that they possibly can. I'm not saying the movie is completely without flaws, but constantly using the word "Fanboy" for people who legitimately loved the movie is quite the pathetic insult.

How does this stack up to Amerizilla 2014?

Not even close.  :laugh:

But seriously, I like that movie okay, but it's nothing compared to 2014.

Finally back on the movies. Been working through them in sequence, only a few left to go. Half way through Godzilla vs Megaguiras.

Okay, I know that Godzilla ain't too keen on the laws of physics, but...

Spoiler
When you're shielding your eyes from a BLACK HOLE, you're not just ignoring physics, you're viciously biting its neck as you f**k it.

I love how we go from "We can't use the oxygen destroyer, every government in the world will want it and it'll be worse than the dangers we currently face!" to "You know what's a good idea? Miniaturized black holes that can be fired at earth from space."

That was a one time thing to stop Godzilla! Then they would dismantle it.

...okay, well, they would keep it around just in case Godzilla survived.

Wait, there's other Kaiju out there! Yeah, like, Rodan or something, those guys! Yeah, they definitely need to keep it up there, to fight them.

It starts at the Kaiju... where will it end?

He was more than a match for both of them one-on-one. And if the male hadn't sucker-punched him like a bitch, he'd probably be able to take them both straight up.

You just like shitting on Godzilla, don't you?  :laugh:

He only beat the female by a sneak attack, so lets not complain about the sucker punch.
And i am discussing the stuff they messed up in this film.

People are still bitching about him going around buildings and aircraft carriers instead of through them? Come the f**k on, people. If you see a box in front of you, you f**king go around it.

Actually, no. He showed up and fought the female straight up one-on-one and had beaten her ass to the ground easily. He was stomping on her when the male sucker-punched him, remember?

Spoiler

Then, after he killed the male, when the female was about to eat Ford, Godzilla was able to easily overpower the female again after a skyscraper fell on top of him. And that's when he blew his atomic breath down her throat. Most badass moment of the movie imo.

Well yeah, of course, dude. It's the same principle of avoiding a couch when you're walking through your living room. I feel like Godzilla was feeling the bridge to test it out, seeing as how he's probably never seen anything like it before. 

Big G just don't give a f**k.  :laugh:

I liked the movie. Still doesn't meam I'm blind to the flaws. I didn't think it was bad at all, just not great. I mean it's a Godzilla movie not about Godzilla and the human plot only rarely succeeds in building tension, which is terrible since it takes up like 90% of the movie.

These are the main complaints, and they're legitimate despite how much some really loved the movie. But people aren't evem really arguing about these that much anymore. These last few pages here have been about Godzillas intentions and if he even cares about humans or not. I don't really see people complaining about that they're just debating it.

Actually maybe just Daddy Yautja was actually complaining about G's behavior.  It's pretty much just him though.

Yeah in both movies damage is caused because the military were a bunch of dumbasses...
But no the military did not cause most of the damage. G98 sunk that huge Japanese ship, the 3 smaller American ships, he got a sub destroyed, ate several apaches, all the damage on the port and that fishing market, he dug tunnels all under Manhattan, the Madison Square Garden, every time he walked around he destroyed part of buildings, he went through several building, that Metlife building for example, the Brooklyn bridge. He wrecked mad stuff.

I don't recall the military causing damage in G14 except for the Golden Gate Bridge. And yes, the military did cause most of the damage in G98. Madison Square Garden was blown up by missiles.

This whole debate is senseless anyway because Godzilla wasn't a destroyer in this film, and if you had a problem with that, that's fine, but that doesn't make this interpretation any less valid. Half of his filmography had him as a protector, and his role here was certainly more like the character than anything Zilla did.

No they didn't, they destroyed 2 buildings and they shot up some windows when chasing Zilla, that's about it. And i just gave you a list of all the crap Zilla did. MSG was blown up cause it was filled with G babies. And it was already wrecked from the inside because Zilla dug it out from below.

And let's not forget that on top of the getting the bridge destroyed their plan to blow up all the kaiju was going to leave half of California filled with fallout which they clearly show in the movie in a projection they had. Which for some unknown reason the movie forgot about when all the people where outside like nothing happened.

the Oppenheimer stuff just seemed to address the radiation in the movie, which incubated the male MUTO and was sustaining their eggs, all of which of course drew Godzilla out from the ocean. destruction ensued.


Godzilla didn't seem to be protecting anyone but himself, he just wasn't as malignant as the other giant monsters despite being the most intimidating and the media took notice at the end.

Dude, he had her on the ground stomping on her. It was easy to see that he would have killed her then and there had the male not interrupted him.

Spoiler
Also, that final sneak attack against the female was nothing more than a bite to the back of her neck. She was able to take him biting her previously. She has many, many legs, and if she was stronger than Godzilla, she could have escaped the hold he had her in but he physically overpowered her, held her at bay and forced her jaws open before he blew atomic breath down her throat. Remember, this is after a f**king skyscraper fell on top of him.

At first I lost interest in Godzilla because I thought Hawaii wasn't going to get stomped. So perhaps just that mayhem alone was enough for me. Although from a marketing point I thought there was going to be a lot more destruction too. Namely by Godzilla himself. However I still loved what we got.

That's why i said,"and interviews." Even if we excuse all the actors cause they dont know how the final product is going to be packaged, the director also participated on this. He knew what movie he shot, at least he should, so he shouldn't be putting out the same idea as marketing if marketing and the actors got it wrong.

The lighting crackle is making me think of the building-humping scene in Zilla '98. No thanks; it's also too cliched.

I think it would have been nice if it lingered on the devastation, fires burning, people suffering, bodies being pulled out of the rubble. Then from the rubble Godzilla emerges, giving a huge roar as lightning crackles in the sky. The destroyer of worlds quote is played, as he leaves into the water, the destroyed city being the final shot of the film.

And then someone says, "Godzilla is inside each one of us."

It could have given the ending a different tone.

Imagine this:
Spoiler
The same ending as before, but the music is absent. Nobody cheers. They look up in awe and fear, but otherwise stay rooted to their spot.

The Oppenheimer quote plays, filtered, as Godzilla moves back to the ocean. Cut to black right before:

"I am become death. Destroyer of worlds."

Roll credits.

...Right after saving the world?

I was about to say that.  :laugh:
Even if he saved the world, I'd still be freaked out by the knowledge that a giant radioactive fire-breathing monster who gives absolutely no f**ks exists and could at any moment wade through our cities killing everything.

I imagine their first order of business, if any, would be to find and tag Godzilla so they can track his movements.  He remained underwater for 60 years until the MUTOs showed up, so I don't see why we'd suddenly treat him like a clear and present danger to our way of life.
Title: Re: Godzilla
Post by: Topazora on May 28, 2014, 08:03:05 PM
Didn't they mention that they tried to nuke him during the atom bomb test sometime after WW2?  I thought that's why they new that nukes wouldn't do any good, because they've tried destroying him before and failed.  It wasn't until they saw Godzilla fight off the MUTOS, that they realized that he wasn't a direct danger to them, only if they were in his way.
I would imagine that the only reason to tag and track Godzilla would be for the same reason to track hurricanes and tornados 'Godzilla is coming, get the f**k out!'
It would also change the where we get our energy, since most of the world get their energy from nuclear power plants, but now that it does attract giant monsters, they would have to take down the plants.  It would certainly be an interesting look on how to best build a world that now a home to living giant monsters.

I'm not familiar with Biollante, but I could see efforts being made to genetically engineer a bioweapon from Godzilla's own DNA that would be capable of fighting him in case he ever became hostile toward us.  Naturally, we'd lose control over our own creation and Godzilla would have to save our asses yet again.

Adapting more Toho kaiju and giving them the Gareth Edwards treatment would only make this new franchise even more popular, IMO.

We've seen Godzilla take down two MUTOs because he was clearly more powerful.  Now we need to see him fight someone more powerful than he is.  A Doomsday to Godzilla's Superman.

Which would be Gidorah if I'm not mistaken, right?

It's been rumored that on top of Godzilla Legendary also has the rights to Mothra, Ghidorah, Rodan and Anguirus. I could see any one of those working, they're fairly popular and simple to explain. Mothra and Rodan do sort of go over abilities the MUTOs had though (flight, insect-like lifecycles, etc.) so maybe they would want to stay away from those two. I could see Anguirus appearing in a sequel to bring more focus onto Godzilla (both are prehistoric reptilian creatures). And if Anguirus survives the movie he could help Godzilla battle Ghidorah in the third/final film.  ;D

The Pacific Rim route? That's optimal. All the monsters looked different, which was really cool. They had the same looking skin and that's about it.

And Anguirus and then team up on the third one against Ghidorah sounds good to me  8)

I don't get why so many scientist have a problem with Godzilla existing. Sure if Godzilla was a normal beast he would utterly crush to death before he even felt it. However Godzilla is a nuclear beast, which could very possibly allow him to compensate and exceed the physical limitation of the natural world.

Oh wow man, only 40 minutes into the lego movie and it's awful. Well I mean if I was a 4 year old it'd probably be awesome... Not wasting my time on noah and x-men was just ok. I don't know, just because it's better than most things doesn't mean it's good. Godzilla is better.

Random FYI of the day:

The Neca 12 inch long Godzilla is at roughly the 1:700 scale. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1:700_scale (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1:700_scale)
(godzilla is 350 feet tall, the figure is 6 inches tall.) So if you've got the figure and you want to build a diorama...
this is good to know.

Here's a link to a papercraft model of one of the Navy ships seen during the Golden Gate Bridge scene in 1:700 scale.

My only two complaints with Godzilla 2014 are:

1. Too much focus on the characters rather than the monsters.

2. That last moment where it seems that Godzilla smiles amicably to people, before returning to the ocean. It was a little childish and stupid for me.

2. That last moment where it seems that Godzilla smiles amicably to people, before returning to the ocean.

wait... whut

Ok, probably smile is not the most accurate word to describe the scene, but you know what I mean, these emotional final moments where the monster looks almost friendly, as a super hero.

MAN that mofuka just wanted to get back in the water. All he did was roar and sink into the depths. The peeps were just glad he made sure the MUTOs didn't reproduce. :P

Yes, I understand what you say, but I thought the monster had been humanised in that time and I expected something more like the scene where the Tyrannosaurus Rex kills the velociraptors in Jurassic Park. He is not a super hero, he didn't want help humans, just wanted to be the f**king master. Regarding the characters, Bryan Cranston's character was the most interesting to watch, shame he died so soon, because the story of the soldier and the nurse was a bit boring for me, and at that time I wanted to see more of Godzilla..

It's just my humble opinion anyway :p

Godzilla's always had that humanization element in every movie. They just had the advantage of using CG to actually make him emote besides the one vacant or angry expression he always has in the Toho movies except for certain shots. :P

Thanks for pointing out a JP-inspired moment I hadn't thought of. That roar at the end, now makes me think of the T.Rex doing the same after killing the raptors. Not hard to imagine when you consider the similarities between that scene, and Godzilla catching the M.U.T.O. right before it was about to kill Ford.

There's only one point where it looks like Godzilla smiles and that's after he smacks the male Muto into the building and the little snarl he does sounds like a chuckle. Even then, it's not super exaggerated to the point you can tell he's smiling.

it just wasnt "realistic".  :D And he liked the 98 godzilla better due to it's depiction of the monster...

It was there, i was cracking the hell up when that happened because that was basically the last nail on the coffin of Edward's "realistic" Gojira movie and the opening of the doors to the Showa halls.

Anyway, G2014 is 78,712   bucks away from reaching G98's total.

At what point does this happen in the movie.  :o

I don't think it is a bad thing. The old days they used a man rubber suit which had little movement; much like how the Keaton batman suit couldn't turn his head. Now with cgi Godzilla he might as well do a pirouette on top of the Mount Rainier.

It was the scene when Gojira was looking at Ford face to face.
It was during the last fight, i think after Ford blew up the nest and the bugs went looking for the other nuke.
Yeah, and i dont think it's bad either. It's super cheesy but since Gojira was a hero in this movie it doesnt matter.

Post by: RazorSlash on Jun 07, 2014, 01:31:40 AM
Saw the movie the other night. Didn't particularly care for it. It wasn't awful, but it did nothing for me. I found it pretty forgettable. It had a promising start, but ironically started to fall apart around the time Godzilla was first "introduced". I put that in quotes because I never really felt that he was properly introduced. His origins were merely skimmed over, which I found odd because there was a consistent origin story in a lot of the merchandise, referencing his species' rivalry with the MUTOs, which wasn't even touched upon in the film. Bryan Cranston was completely wasted. I didn't particularly find Ford very interesting. He wasn't a bad protagonist, he was simply too...plain for me. I didn't care about his wife or son at all, for whatever reason. I was more interested in the MUTOs than I was Godzilla, and the film rode a bit too high on the "Check out how awesome Godzilla is!" vibe, which was nice for the early hype trailers, but not for the final film. I enjoyed the last...maybe 15 minutes of the movie? The Halo Jump onward. The CG felt very inconsistent, some shots looking awful in my opinion, however the monsters themselves looked great. Godzilla's portrayal as a hero felt very awkward and clunky, to the point where I almost found myself expecting Nick Fury to show up and invite him into The Avengers.

Overall, I'd say I'd give it a 5.5/10. I was a huge fan of Godzilla as a kid, and some of my fondest memories were going to Blockbuster and renting a new Godzilla flick every week. My favorites were G2000, GMK, and Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla. I was hoping for an updated Godzilla for a new generation, one that succeeds in both creating an intense and exciting film, while also reminding me of the Godzilla films I watched as a child. Unfortunately, the only film I specifically remember being reminded of leaving the theater was Godzilla 1998. Not to say this movie is that bad, it's far better, but there is a scene in the film that is almost a direct homage to the '98 film, and when it happened I literally started laughing in the theater at how stupid it was. I'm sure you know what I'm talking about.

Inflation is a bitch. Although it was much more likely for people to see a movie at the theater in 1998 then it is today. Godzilla 2014 would have made 2 billion if we released it in 1998 though... yea stupid but just saying.  :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

You also have to consider some other factors, one of which is that there are IMAX and 3D versions for the new film.

True but it is still a proportionally small amount to over all sales. In the end Godzilla 2014 will still easily win out over 98.

There's only one point where it looks like Godzilla smiles and that's after he smacks the male Muto into the building and the little snarl he does sounds like a chuckle. Even then, it's not super exaggerated to the point you can tell he's smiling.

Definitely wasn't a smile. Godzilla snarls a lot in the film which makes sense as modern animals do the same. But after he kills the first MUTO, that growl he emits is more like a "f**k you" than anything else.

Pro Tip:

If you just received your NECA Godzilla and you are yet to take the loose tail and unite it to the figure, i recommend putting the tail and the figure in warm (but not boiling) water. It'll loosen up the plastic and it'll save you the big headache of the figure breaking. ;) (The plastic will return to normal when it cools down.)

Unf, yes.

The Godzilla bones in the cave are taken out by the evil aliens and a mechanical cyborg frame is built around them, shit goes crazy, time to call Godzilla to team up with the Jaegers and take down a revamped Kiryu while fighting other Kaijus that Godzilla just blasts and tears through. Bring in Rodan, Anguirus, and King Ghidorah as the big f**king bad of all times destroying the aliens to be able to do and destroy whatever the f**k he wants. Godzilla beats him with a DBZ style Atomic Breath blast using the fighting spirit of all the Jaeger pilots and all living things on Earth.

10/10 movie shits on all other summer blockbusters for all times and Godzilla goes on to become the most important cultural icon of all time and a giant statue that can be seen from space is erected in Japan.

Omega, what did you think of G14 and Pacific Rim? I can't remember reading your opinion.
Pacific Rim is a film with a huge personality -- it was made with heart, and you can feel every bit of Del Toro's passion that was infused into it. A film I really, really loved and that I rewatch on a frequent basis. I love its sense of colours and production design, from sets, to robots, to creatures (besides Raiju -- the pangolin crocodile reaper -- who is distilled shlock). The protagonists are simple and likeable at the same time, and the film balances between them really well; I love the chemistry that you can feel between, say, Raleigh and Mako, or Newt and Gottlieb. The score is also great and really filled with energy, as is the film itself! Besides a pair of small structural issues (among which the surprise sword that could have been used before), if I had to point at something that could have been better, I would say that the climax of the film is not on par with the Hong Kong fight (by far the action scene) but that is again somehow minor.

Godzilla is also a film made with heart and with some lovely homages to the original films (down to the way the creatures fight) and also other films (Spielberg's, namely Jurassic Park). I love the score and photography of it (particularly its great sense of scale), and I really like how they handled Godzilla as a design. The same cannot be said of the MUTOs, which look like they could have went through some more conceptual iterations. They look like Cloverfield Staplers (TM). Despite that, their personality shines through the film much more than Godzilla's, and in fact they are given the real focus: they fundamentally drive the entire plot of the film. The film has some prominent issues: it goes Alien3 early on and kills Joe -- the most interesting character -- and replaces him with incredibly dull cardboard cutouts. This besides Serizawa, who is wasted more than anything (other than looking stoned throughout). There are also some pacing issues, namely in the Hawaii scene: the film finally shows Godzilla fully, and all it can do is cut abruptly to a sleeping fat kid. A choice that is so tremendously out-there and results really anti-climactic. All in all though, I do enjoy the film.

"Godzilla" has already made short work of the American box office, and now the monster is crushing China's as well. Legendary Pictures' reboot of the classic monster movie opened in China on Friday with a $10.9 million debut, the country's biggest opening day of the year and Warner Bros.' biggest-ever opening in China, Deadline reports.


Quote
By contrast, "Pacific Rim," 2013's monsters-versus-robots film that drew plenty of comparisons to the King of the Monsters, opened in China with $45.2 million and went on to gross $112 million. Expect "Godzilla" to make more than "Pacific Rim" and possibly take down the biggest Chinese film of the year, "The Monkey King," with its $167.8 million gross.

The No. 1 film in the market this weekend gave Warner Bros its biggest ever Saturday (and 2nd day) results in the territory. After bowing to $10.9M on Friday, the Warner/Legendary film now has a local cume of $25.8M, according to the studio. The international total as of today is an estimated $237.4M.

It's amazing that even though I've already seen the movie, these constant dollar figures that are posted literally make the movie better!

If it makes another twenty million, my opinion of it will move from "mostly enjoy" to "mindlessly adore!" Come on, people, spend that money!

If anyone's looking to get into Godzilla after the new movie, I highly recommend the latest issue of Famous Monsters. It has a fairly nice rundown of the entire film series from guys like August Ragone, Bob Eggleton, Matt Frank and more. My only real nitpick is the reviewer for Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah goes with the typical "But if they erased Godzilla from history blah blah blah" misinterpretation. I guess this great article hasn't gotten around that much -

Title: Re: Godzilla
Post by: Gilfryd on Jun 16, 2014, 06:25:22 PM
My only real complaint with the movie is that Godzilla doesn't really do anything. Still, there's a wonderful sense of Cold War dread and the score is great. Teruyoshi Nakano's effects, no longer held back by the late Showa era's time and budget restraints, are some of his best.

The US cut has Raymond Burr which is nice, his closing lines are a testament to how he felt about Godzilla, but all he really does is watch the monster stumble around on a big monitor along with a bunch of other white guys. Also, the way the distributors recut certain scenes to make the Russians seem villainous is despicable.

Should've watched the original since the '56 didn't do much for me.

Well there is all that radioactivity left behind.

I really like the semi-grounded, post-Cold War quality to Return of Godzilla and Biollante, and I wish that tone had continued with the remainder of the Heisei series... King Ghidorah just made too much money I guess.  :laugh:

And I hated Godzilla 1984. Thought it was terrible. Haven't watched it in years though, for that reason. And yes, it seems silly that Japan is getting the movie so far after the USA. As far as it's financial success though, while it's performed well WW, it's somewhat unfortunate that it's total domestic gross will fall short of Godzilla 98. As is, it'll barely crawl past $200 mil. Not that that's anything to sneeze at, but were it not for it's gigantic debut of $93 mil it'd seem much more impressive.

Godzilla is a global phenomenon now. And arguably more popular over here than it is in the motherland. (Kinda like baseball but in reverse)

I don't own that in any form. I used to have in recorded on VHS when I was a kid and that is the only copy I had. Something never felt right about that movie ... and now I know what it was.

It was originally a sequel to Japanese Kong movies. They just substituted Godzilla in the place of Kong. Which explains a lot of weird stuff including Godzilla's sudden crush on female humans and being powered up by electricity.

The best original Godzilla film, with the exception of the first one, is Mothra vs. Godzilla. If the source is accurate (and it looks sketchy as hell) then I'm all for it.

But we need the twins. You can go full-on faithful and make them tiny fairies, you can go gritty and make them mutant cult members, I don't care, we need twins and they need to sing.

I don't think any of the monsters would be boring to see revived in big budget CGI. Just like Big G wasn't boring himself. He was glorious. And I think the perfect monster to match that glory would be Ghidorah, over used as he is. Seeing these monsters fight again would be awesome in the true sense of the word.

Title: Re: Godzilla
Post by: Gilfryd on Jun 20, 2014, 08:08:42 PM
Legendary supposedly has access to Mothra, Ghidorah, Rodan and Anguirus on top of Godzilla. What's interesting about that is it's basically Toho's Top 5 Kaiju with Anguirus in place of Mecha-G, I'm assuming because Legendary already had the kaiju/mecha thing going with Pacific Rim, plus it clashed with the somewhat grounded tone they want for this Godzilla.

Mothra works as a character alongside Godzilla because she's the ultimate yin to Godzilla's destructive yang. She beats him not because she's stronger but because she outsmarts him. Ghidorah however is more powerful and poses a greater threat for all of earth and so, in the original series at least, Mothra (and overall benevolent character) had to unite Godzilla and Rodan to chase Ghidorah off the planet.

Rodan and/or Anguirus could work in a sequel because they're similar in origin to Godzilla and would be easy to explain. One of my nitpicks with the reboot was that it felt more like a MUTO movie at times and having fellow prehistoric reptiles like Godzilla could bring more focus onto him. Or they could just go all out with Ghidorah, that would be cool too.  ;D

I feel like they already did the whole cocoon thing in Godzilla 2014 with the Muto.

How would they do the Mothra twins? Maybe they'd be mutant twins (conjoined?) and struck with some sort of dwarfism. They could be eerie like those twins in The Shining.

Kawakita's flying props in general are downright embarrassing compared to what they managed to pull off in the Showa/Millennium films. Tsuburaya's Mothra is so twitchy and full of life and the insect-like redesigns in GMK and Tokyo SOS arguably perfected the character's look for modern audiences.

The Heisei Ghidorah, Mothra, Battra, Rodan, etc. are just testaments to how lazy Kawakita got in the 90s... they don't flail around at all while the ground underneath explodes for no apparent reason. Those are the real giant kites.

QuoteHow would they do the Mothra twins? Maybe they'd be mutant twins (conjoined?) and struck with some sort of dwarfism. They could be eerie like those twins in The Shining.

I'd rather they not be scary or weird at all, the Shobijin have always been nice characters that believe in the best of humanity. They could always be normal sized twin girls with an unexplainable telepathic link to Mothra and other monsters. They could even go with a single character like the princess-turned-prophetess in Ghidorah the Three-Headed Monster.

Sounds like a downloadable game. Nothing too deep from the sounds of it. Still holding out hope for a Destroy All Monsters update with city destruction levels and better controls.

Yeah, it's a scan from a Japanese gaming magazine. The only thing pulled from the scan thus far is:
-Godzilla's in-game model are 3D scans collected from S.H MonsterArts Godzilla figure (This will allow Godzilla to appear closer to the movies than any other game thus far)
-Game is will have "retro game effects", I'm guessing they mean the effects appearing similar to the actual films. A more proper translation should clear that up once the scan is out.
-Godzilla will fight numerous foes
-Players will obviously get to control and destroy everything in sight as Godzilla himself.
-Game is only 40% complete
-Only for PS3 and is aimed for release this Winter.

Hopefully we get to play as more than just the Heisei Godzilla. Playing as the SHMonsterarts Godzilla 2000 design would be amazing.

A Legendary Godzilla design being playable would also be pretty cool.

Something I've always liked about the more mammalian face designs is how the eyebrow ridges and doglike snout connect to form this Y shape. The new design definitely has a heavy brow but with the beady eyes and smooth, bearlike face it's kind of lost -

^ Something akin to this would probably be my dream Godzilla design. Adams' newer illustrations might scream GMK at first but he does such a nice job of blending little details from past designs.

There's a should we study or destroy Godzilla element to some of the movies I really like because both go nowhere, he's such a strange anomaly you can't really understand him, and if you want to kill him it'll take something just as or even more destructive than he is to start with. The best you can do is prepare for an attack and get out of the way.

Shinji Nishikawa shows you how it's done...

Title: Re: Godzilla
Post by: DoomRulz on Jul 07, 2014, 04:47:08 PM
So apparently, someone on YT timed Godzilla's on-screen time in the film. Read here:

QuoteGodzilla's screen time is about 9 minutes, 55 seconds (give or take a few seconds). That seems short at first glance, but think of it this way: the T-rex and Raptors only got about 10 minutes of screentime each in the original Jurassic Park. Heck, the raptors weren't even shown in full until the end kitchen scene. Not to mention Jaws, Alien, Predator.....the list goes on. Just because the title character isn't in the movie for two thirds of the film doesn't make it a bad film. You got plenty of MUTO action to make up for Godzilla's absence during the movie. How people can fall asleep during those scenes is beyond me.

Here's the accompanying video.

Title: Re: Godzilla
Post by: SpaceMarines on Jul 07, 2014, 09:17:05 PM
Yeah. With Jaws or Jurassic Park, even when the creatures weren't on screen, their presence could still be felt. With this, it was almost a surprise when the Big G showed up. "Oh, yeah. This is a Godzilla movie. He's in this..."
Title: Re: Godzilla
Post by: Alien³ on Jul 07, 2014, 09:23:54 PM
Totally didn't feel that way to me.

His presence was felt throughout.

I still stand by the opinion that the title should have be: Mutos vs Godzilla.

I'm in agreement with SiL myself. While Godzilla looked nice, he literally did nothing to move the story. That was all the Mutos, and then Godzilla just stomped in at the end and killed them to neatly wrap up the story.

The MUTOs had an incredibly generic design going on but their characterization was much more intriguing than Godzilla's. He was just 'there'.

GMK's feet are comically enormous. Clown shoes. Kinda nit picking though. Otherwise it's a glorious design and different enough from the rest without losing the 'Godzilla'.

My least favorite is the one from "Son of Godzilla." He looks like sad frog on steroids.

I'm agreeing that I like the Kiryu design too. The gif has nothing to do with it. It's just a cool moment I see people talking about a lot.

I don't think it's that different. I mean the spirit angle is there but in terms of being a pure engine of destruction it's basically a modern take on Honda's Godzilla. People have just become so accustomed to the indifferent force of nature Godzilla, which we've basically seen more or less since 84, that having a purely antagonistic Godzilla seems odder than it really is.

Godzilla wasn't really evil in the first movie, he was just pissed off people kept trying to blow him up.

As far as Honda was concerned he was the embodiment of the H-bomb and was actively seeking out to destroy humanity. He's a victim in a way, and there is a moment of repose at the end where he's napping in the ocean, but for the most part he's not too sympathetic. He's definitely a threat characters - even other monsters - have to rally against in the first few Showa films.

By Ghidorah the Three-Headed Monster he became more of a hero by circumstance, and then by Godzilla vs. Hedorah he was a full-fledged superhero. In the Heisei films he took on the ambiguous antihero persona most are probably familiar (and comfortable) with... he'll basically take care of greater threats but destroy a city in the process. He doesn't really care about us exactly, just his territory. The Millennium series had this for the most part too, aside from GMK, and the new film.

You'd think Godzilla's appearance would reflect that. I'm not saying you're wrong, only that, given how sinister that suit looked, he didn't seem "friendly". 2014 Godzilla cared about saving Earth but aside from snarling a few times, he didn't look perpetually angry.

Not even a commentary? :-\ Maybe "The Legendary Godzilla" will be a feature length doc, but I'm doubting it.

Bonus features were the big reason I was going to get this on release. With such a skimpy Blu-ray, though, I have no problem holding off on this one until a big price drop.

Everyone talks about how Superman could just carry Godzilla into space...I call major bullshit. The Legendary Godzilla weighs 90,000 tons. I can't imagine Superman lifting that much even if he absorbed sunlight all day, that's also provided Godzilla would just sit there and let Superman carry him off and not struggle, in which case it would take much MUCH more force to lift him.

Darkseid defeated Superman with super strength and lazer eye beams. Godzilla's breath could do much, much more damage than Darkseid's eyebeams, I'd be willing to wager. And he's in all likelihood stronger than Darkseid. I'm thinking one blast of Godzilla's breath to bring Superman to his knees, another to take him out of commission, then a third to kill him. And that's being lenient with Godzilla's breath power.

I'm usually patient and wait for a good deal while trying to avoid import tax, but not with this. These will be made in very limited numbers and will go fast; I'll buy directly from Sideshow this time.

I think I'll sit this statue out. (unless it comes in at under $300)

X-Plus is going to get their hands on this someday and it will be made of vinyl which makes it lighter, more portable, and durable. I like to take mine out in the wild and photograph them in natural light which makes those three qualities very important.

Plus they are typically half as expensive and have a much higher degree of faithful detail in both sculpt and paint application.

I'm quite surprised no one has any figures or statues of the MUTOs that do them any justice.  :-\

Toho established Rodan and Mothra in their own stand alone films before having them appear alongside Godzilla in Ghidorah the three headed monster. But there is no way Legendary is going to take the time (and risk) developing stand alones to build up to something.

They don't need to. They are big monsters ... not complex, tragic villains with backstories.

It's the human element that's the trick.

I suppose. I want them to all shine, of course. I also hope that their explanation of their origins isn't half-assed. I assume we should also expect the twins to be singing Mothra's tune.

Nah, too surreal, too fantasy-ish. Mothra will be a scientific experiment gone wrong or a relative of the MUTOs.

I think Mothra should be a sort of byproduct of human tampering. Perhaps Infant Island could be the site of some horrific genetic experiments. That way you could have some odd/scary Mothra twins (patients on the island) who are like a creepy Japanese rendition of The Shining twins.

I do like the deity angle though for Mothra. I'd miss that.

Could work well if they go about with a serious paranormal angle...like a random pair of identical twin sisters start having some psychical visions of the coming kaiju attack and are somehow telepathically linked to an unhatched mothra who's  on monster island waiting to be discovered.

Works for me. But I think the aliens should be extinct. Like the Engineers from Prometheus. Ghidorah wakes up and just continues doing what he was made to do.

Rodan does lend himself to being just another beast from Godzilla's time. Mothra though. Not from space guys. Not from space.

Said ball of energy proceeds to fly off into space afterwards destroying the galaxy Ghidorah came from and the sequel hook is that they have now awakened Super God Emperor Ghidorah (f**k you it should exist) and the third movie is nonstop monster carnage agaist an army of Ghidorahs.

Post by: OmegaZilla on Jul 27, 2014, 10:22:43 AM
I love it because after the late Showa films the Heisei started like 'let's take this whole Godzilla thing a bit more seriously'. We get the first two films which were pretty grounded down (besides the Erika holy card thing floating into the sky). Then Godzilla Vs. King Ghidorah comes in and says 'yeah no, here's time travel and cyborg three-headed Dragons from the future'. It's a departure from the previous two, but it really is one of the more well-packaged Godzilla films. An enormously bizarre, ballsy 50s film out of time.

All I can say is what Godzilla movies are you watching where none of that happens? Some are better than others, and I do like King Ghidorah, but it's the start of how aggressively dated and lazy the Heisei series would become. It's more cringe-inducing than some of the sillier Showa entries. Kawakita's effects are far below his 80s work and the writing is so removed from the tone set by Return of Godzilla and Biollante. There's such a noticeable drop in quality and this would drag on until Toho decided to off Godzilla in 95.

Oh yeah I'll definitely take 70s Godzilla over 90s Godzilla. At least the overall quality of the later Showa films fit the period in which they were made, the only real low point being Megalon. The Showa filmmakers were put down by ever decreasing budgets and schedules, meanwhile the 90s films had more than enough time and money to put out movies that at least looked impressive and it just didn't happen due to the talent (or lack thereof) involved. Just look at what Kaneko and Higuchi managed to do with the Gamera trilogy on budgets half that of any Heisei Godzilla movie. It puts Omori and Kawakita to shame.

Good enough for me. As hype as all three at once would be, building them up slowly over the course of multiple movies especially for the more out there stuff like Mothra and Ghidorah, will be pretty neat.

Apparently, all three monsters aren't going to be in the same movie, but will appear in multiple sequels.

Good; this is the best approach to take. It would have been overkill for all them to be in one movie at this point.

GOOD.

Part of the reason I was finding it hard to get excited was because I was thinking this was going to be some kind of cramfest clusterf**k. Glad they're not going all in at once, espcially seeing as they're all primarily aerial combatants.

What's wrong with childish? I think most rational fans are well aware of the series' target demographic and can still express the merits of those golden age Japanese genre movies and the more well made modern entries. I mean, it comes down to what appeals to you or not, but I guess what I'm saying is there are others who could articulate it all better than I can. I've seen it done fairly well (without coming across as fan-boyish at all) and would like to see how they'd react to you and other posters here.

It was my favorite as a kid. Probably why I'm soft on it. As an adult I can see how some of the movie is bat shit insane. Like flying Godzilla. But damn it, that was only for like, a minute of the film.

Dark and dingy. Psychedelic at times. A James Bond like opening title sequence with a female vocalist. One of only a few Godzilla films that show the human death toll from the monsters. People die, and are graphically maimed. Godzilla even loses an eye. The music is different than any other entry and the movie as a whole stands out from the others with a spirit all it's own.

and this Godzilla has been portrayed as being relatively mindful of the humans... how is he supposed to attack the moth?

They con work together against a bigger threat. Maybe Mothra and Godzilla develop very good reasons to dislike humanity.

Quote from: Aspie on Jul 29, 2014, 09:06:15 PM
and mothra and her offspring pose no threat and only exist to annoy godzilla

As I recall, baby Mothra jizz took Godzilla down pretty quickly. :P

Real talk though, having seen all the Gamera films now, the only ones really worth watching are the Heisei ones. At least on my end.

Showa Gamera is fun but I can only watch them drunk or with friends, as for Gamera: The Brave it's an easy way to help yourself fall asleep at night. :P

Just like with most Godzilla movies. So grab that beer or whatever you prefer, get with some friends and throw your popcorn at the screen. Good times all around :P

The 90's Gamera trilogy was awesome. The pinnacle of all Japanese Kajiu films as a craft. But the character and charm of Gamera is no where near as endearing, powerful, or globally dominating as Godzilla.

Gamera will forever be Mighty Joe Young to Godzilla's King Kong. A worthy johnny come lately relegated to 2nd rate monster status by the vast majority of people who happen to be into these films.

On the subject of Godzilla imitators ... what are some other favorites?

Gamera 3 has a lot going for it but nothing comes close to this...

(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.sidequesting.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2Fgodzilla-1954-3-610x381.jpg&hash=b27e0195aa3bb5baeb4d7be65d1cec90d7b2e14a)

Or the hospital scenes, Serizawa's sacrifice, etc... it's a simple but meticulously crafted movie by comparison.

I love the Gamera trilogy, GMK, even the underrated Gamera the Brave, they're certainly more well made than the remaining Heisei/ Millennium Godzilla films, but Kaneko's G3 and GMK are hopelessly overrated by some people... the mysticism angles in both films are very muddled and GMK takes a major drop after the initial Godzilla/ Baragon fight. At least G3 maintains its momentum with Higuchi's fantastic effects and foreboding semi-apocalyptic tone.

Still, G1/ 2 are much more precise in what they want to be and owe way more to those Honda/ Tsuburaya films (even TV shows like Ultra Q, the precursor or Ultraman) than most realize. I like how Kaneko exchanged sci-fi for fantasy to explain his monsters, but don't think he's cracked it just yet. He's close, and if there's anyone for Godzilla vs. Gamera, it's him.

Title: Re: Godzilla
Post by: Cvalda on Aug 04, 2014, 09:56:48 PM
The characters in Gamera 3 (especially the wonderful, level-headed heroine Nagamine) are better than the characters in Godzilla by a wide margin, especially because they've been developed over three films, are actually given characterization and have a measure of nuance. And Godzilla isn't flawless, either -- its love triangle is a Romantic Plot Tumor, every character outside of Serizawa is a nonentity, the science is awful, the dialogue is circular and banal, and the effects go back and forth from being effective to amusingly crude.
Title: Re: Godzilla
Post by: Gilfryd on Aug 05, 2014, 05:06:52 AM
I don't think most of your criticisms are exactly fair. Gamera 3 is the final installment in a modern trilogy catering to different interests and expectations while Godzilla was the first of its kind, nothing had ever been attempted like that in Japan, and its success basically created two subsets of genres (kaiju and tokusatsu) in the country. The movie might seem simple or banal or whatever you want to call it now, but it's a product of its time like any other movie.
Title: Re: Godzilla
Post by: Cvalda on Aug 05, 2014, 05:10:54 AM

Title: Re: Godzilla
Post by: Gilfryd on Aug 05, 2014, 05:37:57 AM
Ebert's review... ugh. I don't think I've ever read such an unprofessional sounding review from a professional movie critic. It's like he slept on and off during the movie, and the bits he did watch he was dead-set into thinking it was nothing but a schlocky b-movie. He gets characters mixed up and goes for the time-honored "cardboard buildings" critique.

I'm not saying the movie's perfect or anything, but for a movie of its type (the first, really) it gets a lot right and basically set the stage for a wave of movies like it. It could have been nothing but a knockoff of Beast from 20,000 Fathoms and became so much more.

I think a lot of people get the wrong idea with these movies. Those golden age genre movies of the 50s and 60s were big-scale productions with A-game casts and crews. The old-school Hollywood studio system was still in affect in Japan well into the late 60s, allowing filmmakers to be as broad and inventive as they could. Toho's only competitors in terms of quality in the west were Harryhausen and maybe George Pal.

Yeah, once it was announced Edwards would be doing a SW spin-off it immediately pointed to 2018. It's too bad, really. The film has lots of fans here, and everyone of my real life friends that saw it liked it, but the general populous seems to be split, and the massive drop-off from it's opening weekend suggests that word-of-mouth wasn't all that great. Odds are people won't be marking their calendars for it 4 years out.

Pacific Rim 2 comes out in 2017. I doubt Legendary wants two giant monster movies out in the same year. 2018 seem like the best date to go with in my opinion.

Hm... it was succesful indeed, but it was not the raving box office sensation one expected it to be. First of all the ticket sales halted extremely fast after each opening in every country. Second of all the film got mixed reactions, even from some fans

I just hope they go easy on the kaiju thing and just focus on better characters... I don't mind them focusing on the people in the middle of the chaos, actually the battles look more dynamic from that perspective (compared for example to Pacific Rim), but if they do it again, they have to do it right and come up with some intruiging characters.

What were expectations, exactly? $200 mil is nothing to scoff at, it's only the way it was earned that looks bad. It's opening weekend was originally projected to be in the range of $60-$70 mil. It was only after it debuted to $90+ mil that expectations became so inflated. Still, there's no doubt it should have held better, particularly over Memorial Day weekend. Yes, X-Men opened well, but there's more than enough money to go around.

I really enjoyed this movie. My GF really enjoyed it, and she's on non-fan. My brother really enjoyed it. Friends that saw it liked it as well. I know 0 people in my real-life circle of contacts that didn't enjoy it, but overall reaction seems to be much more mixed. Odds are the sequel is going to take a hit, regardless of it's quality. Still, at $500+ mil WW, it can afford to take a hit & still be profitable if they keep the budget even. My only fear is that they'll consider lowering it.

If it is in fact their endgame to have a King Kong vs. Godzilla however, then it'll all be worth it. That film, regardless of quality, will pique peoples interest

Not offense but you're kind of proving his fan-boy comment/insult.

The new movie delivered what people want from a Godzilla film but in very small (some would say disappointing) doses so the sequel can definitely up the ante terms of monster action. But at the same time it needs to balance human drama (with a more engaging main character) so there's certainly room for improvement in both departments.

Still, I would say the movie has been received more than just lukewarmly. They're very different tonally but I would say it's a lot like Pacific Rim. A certain kind of mentality is warranted.

I think there was a subtle intensity to his performance a lot of people missed but I wouldn't mind if they switched focus to Elizabeth Olsen or Watanabe and Hawkins. I do want characters set up here to return as opposed to the Heisei and Kiryu films introducing a new set every movie despite having 'continuity.'

That's exactly why in the last page I said that we can all care less about the story in Godzilla movies. Nothing will ever come close to the seriousness of the original, so there's really no reason to try. GMK did the best it could ever do, and we have Gamera to thank for that, but...let's just have our monster wrestling matches, and just have the humans off to the side with the vaguest of a relationship with the monsters.

I have a feeling all that stuff will be in the extended release of this film. The film felt like it was chopped up a bit for the sake of length. With the extended release it might go from a decent film to a good one... or it might go from a decent flick to a really boring overlong monstrosity.

If there's anything you could say about her it's that she was torn between protecting the world from Godzilla and vice versa but all she really did was bow to G-Force's demands.

I know some have criticized the MUTOs for being oversimplified Cloverfield monsters but the angular, almost abstract nature of their design is very unique and Japanese to me. They almost feel like they could be Evangelion Angels and their movements reminded me a lot of the Showa era wirework used to bring characters like Kamacuras and Kumonga to life.

Why do people assume it would be the 2014 Godzilla against Gipsy and other Jaegers when it could simply be the Pac Rim-verse take on the character. Toho doesn't like to crossover Godzilla with other properties but it would be neat to see done in a deliberately non-canonical story like a one-shot comic or animated short.

Those are not the same things. Those are actual normal sources of information that actually spread awareness and information. These viral videos have none of that. It's just another viral trend that people are participating in because it's what's "in" right now. They're not donating to for ALS because they actually care about that shit.

And awareness being raised with the Bucket challenge isn't helping?

The problem with comparing this to people enjoying sequences of Spider-Man swinging is that when Spider-Man swings, it isn't played up as a big "OH WOW HE DID IT! HE DID THE THING!" moment. It's just something really cool to watch.

With Godzilla, everyone knows he has atomic breath. It's one of the character trademarks. But it was only used in this movie as this big thing. What I'm getting at is, it didn't need to be as big as it was. Going back to the comparison, it'd be like Spider-Man never slinging a web until the end of the movie. It's an overhyped scene.

But whatever, I don't really want to fight with any of yo-

The inclusion of the atomic breath is a big deal when the last American movie didn't have it, and we were close to not having in the new movie either... I hear the guys at Weta pushed Edwards to have the classic blue breath (along with the glowing fins). It's a little depressing that discussion had to happen, when you're making a Godzilla movie it really shouldn't be a question at all.

Inspired by what some have been saying here, it'd be a lot like not having Spider-Man web sling between buildings, but since superheroes are more of a 'thing' in western society, the action isn't questioned... like Superman's ability to fly and whatnot. But since Godzilla is a man in a monster suit from 'campy' foreign films, every 'unrealistic' detail must be dissected to become accepted.

I think I get where RazorSlash is coming from but I disagree, the build up to his Atomic breath was amazing. It's just the AB could have happened more often.

It was important in establishing this character trait to those who were not educated in Godzilla past the '98 version. I'm not over playing it here but a lot of folks didn't know that the G could do that, sad as it is. I got a first hand experience with this because after my first viewing I heard several people behind me discuss what they thought and one of them blurted out "what was up with him breathing fire? That was random!" and several of his friends agreed it was random. Never the less I turned and had a conversation explaining why that was in the movie. Turned out to be quite a nice conversation too, they agreed it was badass and should have been in the film more.

I think the atomic breath could have happened earlier in the film, maybe during the airport sequence so that we could have seen more of it used during the climax. But hey ho, we still got a fantastic new Godzilla film.

I do agree, it is important to establish the atomic breath of Godzilla in this first movie. However I think Edwards made a very clever choice by only using it twice in the film.

1. The impact is much greater
2. When it's used, it's used in style and in consideration of the oponents weaknesses (just see the "vomit of death" at the end)
3. It leaves you wanting more
4. showing it late makes it all the more suspensful when it actually happens
It's just the same with the roar, you have to use it, however if you overdo it it just becomes meaningless and loses it's effect.

I was disappointed with Godzilla in many ways, mostly because of the human story arc (which it claimed to be having), but Edwards did a great job with portraying the skillset and attributes of Godzilla.

Three times I do believe. Twice quickly when it first happens then the kill shot at the end. However I think its implied that Godzilla dos use it a lot during the halo jump sequence. We see the clouds lighting up with a similar hue to the atomic breath.

Oh and Godzilla 1998 is great :P

He does so in the novelization. The male MUTO also has the ability to temporarily turn off Godzilla's ability to charge up his breath, which I imagine is somehow tied to the MUTOs' EMP powers.

Strength is an integral part of Godzilla's character and a lot of kaiju, really. There's an unexplainable, otherworldly quality to them you don't see in a lot of their western counterparts, which are usually nothing more than huge animals. The new movie really nailed Godzilla as a force of nature, the MUTOs too. Mankind just had to get out of the way and see who would win.

That particular shot isn't offensive. In fact ... I remember it fondly. I remember seeing it in the theater and being in AWE that it was actually happening.

Godzilla typed small on the large screen with the little tree dotted island foreshadowing Rorschach-like the epic dorsal plates of the biggest monster of all cinema. I remember still having hope when I saw it. The whole experience was still ahead of me.

The next 1/2 hour built me up with minor issues. The attack on the Japanese fishing vessel. The Close Encounters-esque beached ship with the claw marks. The guys from 'The Perfect Storm' getting their boats dragged down by their nets. ACES. Godzilla showing up in New York was a mixed bag. Some really stellar shots. But it was the first hint that there was something seriously off.

The remaining running time tore me down. The script an unforgivable sin. The characters God f**king awful with no redemption by the end credits. A million baby Godzilla's going out like Gremlins 2: The New Batch had me forgiving the film as parody. Godzilla showing up again (somehow) out of the rubble was genuinely surprising and gave us a last little bit of fun before the stolen 1976 King Kong reboot heart beat ending.

Godzilla wasn't Godzilla in form or character ... but the beast was impressive. I own it on blu-ray. I watch it from time to time. It's not the worst Godzilla film of all time.

The army killing Godzilla doesn't make it the worse Godzilla film though. That's just one character trait discrepancy among many. The fact that he was just a big animal doing what normal animals do makes this military kill realistic based on the rules they set for themselves.

It would have just been annoying if this fast moving, lean Godzilla was just as indestructible as his Japanese counterpart. It makes sense within the this film that he is able to be brought down in this way.

As charming as they may be: King Kong vs Godzilla, Godzilla's Revenge, Godzilla vs Gigan, Godzilla vs Megalon, and Godzilla vs SpaceGodzilla are pretty awful Godzilla films. (just to name a few)

As films ... in regards to writing, story structure, pacing, characterization,  and resolution ... those are pretty poor. King kong vs Godzilla is just a parody. A fun parody ... but even the actors in it are comedians. Don't get me started on Godzilla's revenge. Most of the monster action is stock/stolen from earlier films ... and it's overall a blatant stab at grabbing Gamera kids back in the day.  :laugh:

As a Godzilla fan I f**king adore them. (Most of them) Who doesn't love Jet Jaguar?! A heavy, HEAVY dose of nostalgia paints my opinion of these films but I do attempt to separate the real world from the one I used to know. I appreciate the rose colored glasses of my youth and can/will enjoy a good guilty pleasure.

Those aren't some of my go-to G-flicks but I think the first three are far from awful. Kong vs. Godzilla is meant to be an adventurous farce and the US version most are probably familiar with loses sight of this, making it seem even sillier in the process. But the movie's success more than any other turned Godzilla into a franchise name so it must have done something right (especially in Japan).

All Monsters Attack was the first entry entirely made for children and I think it works because it doesn't look down on them. A lot of the criticisms the later Showa films receive are awfully superficial and repetitive when, I think, if you look at the context in which some of the movies were made you'd appreciate them a lot more. Gigan and Megalon for example were made when the Japanese film industry was in the gutter and kids would much rather stay at home and watch superhero shows. Gigan is trying to reclaim a lot of that former glory while Megalon just embraces the madness.

I'm a lot harsher on films like SpaceGodzilla when they were made when Japan's economy was booming, Godzilla was more popular than ever, the filmmakers had double if not triple the amount of time and money to put out competent (or at least entertaining) films and still fumble...

Yes. I wish we had some more linger shots like that one. This shot reminded me of the moment in 1984 after Godzilla blew a hole through the side of a skyscraper and found the Super X hiding on the other side.  Right before Godzilla pressed the attack he gave this lip curl and showed some teeth.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c5yTCazGYKE# (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c5yTCazGYKE#)

After Godzilla destroys the Muto in 2014 he gives a rare pause, again reminding me of 1984 after he defeats that pesky Super X.

Yup, great comparisons! I wish the film was more like 1984 in other ways; as an introduction film, it worked wonders, and with up to date effects and a tighter script it would be an excellent starting point.

It had a lot of great aspects: Godzilla is the threat, it's a destructive animal and nothing more. And the threat is so massive, it almost causes an enormous conflict between nations. It's basically my favourite japanese Godzilla film.

I wish Joe Brody stayed with Serizawa and Graham on the ship and helped unlock some more of the mysteries of the Muto. I feel like he was the most interesting, engaging character of the whole film and by the time he 'exited' we were adrift ... waiting for monsters to pop up. That was my only real problem with the script.

Not sure I understand what you mean about the effects.

I agree. I missed the Godzilla as the ultimate destroyer. That first comic con teaser sold it with all those pictures of destruction and the Oppenheimer speech. I wouldn't have minded if Godzilla had been a little more indifferent to human civilization in 2014.

Godzilla 1984 was sure an enormous improvement over the precedent films (mainly because, magic -- they used moulds!) but its animatronics are a bit dated now (mainly the lip function). What I meant is, a linear retelling of that film with today's technology would be excellent.

Ah, loud an clear. And yes they were a huge improvement. But after re-watching The Terror of Mecha Godzilla recently I will say they were already experimenting with the lighting techniques (especially at night) that they seemed to knock out of the park for 1984.

They need to do some major retconning in the next movie by showing while Godzilla isn't out to kill humans he doesn't go out of his way to protect them and causes lots of damage in the process.  In addition, save the teasing on the new Toho monsters and focus on Godzilla this time around. There's no sense in hiding him anymore (not that there was much sense hiding him in the latest film after the Hawaii scene.)

Human wise bring back Serizawa and give him some character depth instead of exposition and leave out corny lines like "let's just leave Godzilla alone and hope he doesn't destroy everything because balance".

I haven't heard that anything concrete about the sequel yet other than Ghidorah and Mothra will possibly in it.

He certainly seemed to be reluctant of going straight through the boats and opted to swim under them in such.

Basically, the movie needs to show the effects of collateral damage that are caused by giant monsters since the ending really clashed tonally with the rest of the movie with the crowd cheering like he saved them instead of destroyed the entire city.

I get the crowd part, that I will admit was pretty out of place, but I personally loved the level of cheese it added after the rest had film had been intense as f**k. :laugh:

As for the boats. Going through boats = having to tear through them and being slowed down a bit. Godzilla had one thing in his mind and that was getting rid of the Muto's. Going through boats would slow him down for even a few seconds and he clearly wasn't going to chance it with those things being a threat to his survival.

I actually think the crowd part would be realistic.

Think about it. Giant monsters show up in the world and everything everyone has ever know or believed in is suddenly tossed on it's ear. Nothing is for certain anymore. Nothing is safe. The military is helpless. The world is watching this play out of TV.

The two monsters that showed up first and caused the most destruction are destroyed by a third who proceeds to leave the area. People are wrecked psychologically and emotionally. The utter terror and uncertainty over the last few days is lifted and they experience a sort of  monster version of Stockholm Syndrome.

I actually think the crowd part would be realistic.

Think about it. Giant monsters show up in the world and everything everyone has ever know or believed in is suddenly tossed on it's ear. Nothing is for certain anymore. Nothing is safe. The military is helpless. The world is watching this play out of TV.

The two monsters that showed up first and caused the most destruction are destroyed by a third who proceeds to leave the area. People are wrecked psychologically and emotionally. The utter terror and uncertainty over the last few days is lifted and they experience a sort of  monster version of Stockholm Syndrome.

Well, when you put it that way, I guess it makes sense... :P

Humanity as a whole would be kind of f**ked if the Mutos weren't dealt with, so Godzilla did save them.

Only because they were a threat to him, directly. I think humanity being present is neither here nor there.

I think a different movie was marketed towards people and they noticed. The main trailers and spots showed a destroyer Godzilla while the movie had an inadvertent savior. I'm sure most people weren't even aware of the enemy monsters.

Something like the Asia Trailer really should have been shown in front of other big movies like Captain America and Spider-Man...

The trailer campaign (while successful in making rhe film known obviously) was a disaster in regards to the portrayal of the final product. It understandably focused on Bryan Cranston (an actor who portrays a character that dies within the first act) but not only that, it presented Godzilla as the destructive animal and nuclear metaphor the series began with, and seemed to portray a much more horror-like film than what it actually was.

I think their mistake was hiding the Mutos. They wanted to keep that reveal a secret, and when you do that in a movie where they are the antagonist, naturally the trailers are gonna make Godzilla seem like the enemy of mankind instead.

I get the crowd part, that I will admit was pretty out of place, but I personally loved the level of cheese it added after the rest had film had been intense as f**k. :laugh:

As for the boats. Going through boats = having to tear through them and being slowed down a bit. Godzilla had one thing in his mind and that was getting rid of the Muto's. Going through boats would slow him down for even a few seconds and he clearly wasn't going to chance it with those things being a threat to his survival.

Same here, the cheesy factor was kinda cool in a fanboy way... and I do think it's kind the right thing to establish Godzilla as the Antihero...

He's not a saviour (like that last news report on the big billboard asks in the final scene of the movie)

He's just a force of nature, getting rid of the imbalance (that being the MUTO)... not out to harm humans but if they stand in his way, it's their fault... indifference.

That being said, for me the coolest moment was when he was staring that kick-ass dude (lieutenant generic actor) right in the eye after being beat down by the MUTO... surely that was one of the few scenes which Andy Serkis played the big G, it gave that spiritual edge that the original Godzilla always had... even if it was pretty randomly put in this movie.

In hindsight me too. It's actually kinda historic because Godzilla hasn't been this heroic since 1975. And they did it in a really cool way. G14 is actually one of my favorite interpretations of the character now.

Godzilla (2014)

The much anticipated reboot of the flagging franchise that was kinda abused and left for dead back in 1998 by Roland Emmerich. A revamped origins tale set in the present day with a much darker moodier semi realistic approach  that everybody kinda expected to be like 'Pacific Rim' but wasn't.

I'm not gonna lie and say this movie isn't cheesy, its all about huge monsters that are awakened from the bowels of the Earth and go rampaging through our city streets...oh and these monsters eat radiation. Indeed the story starts out in a very cheesy hammy sandwich type manner much like the Emmerich version back in 98. A couple large egg-like cocoons are accidentally discovered by a mining company, one happens to be fresh and open leaving a rather huge obvious trail down to the seafront. The appearance of these two insectoid-like monsters triggers the appearance of Godzilla for some reason whose existence has been known about since 1954 by the US government...can never trust that US government huh. What was that huge skeleton then? a long dead Godzilla?

I like how the military pick up Cranston and his son when snooping around the ruins of Janjira and take them back to the top secret base where they keep the monster. Why would you take trespassers back to your top secret base and show them everything? I did like the little moment showing some bugs crawling over tiny toy tanks in the ruins, clever little wink there.

It seems that these monsters were driven underground millions of years ago I think it was, hibernating if you will. All that time they have lived on radiation deep within the Earth but...would there be enough radiation for such large creatures? wouldn't these creatures ever need to move around or require oxygen to breathe? Now I realise these things all tie in with Godzilla lore and the film is of course an all out fantasy flick about monster mashing but at the same time its been made in a serious way so questions will be raised. I know Godzilla has his trademark atomic breath attack (like a dragon) and these things emit EMP attacks, but how would that stuff even work in a semi- realistic movie like this? is there enough radiation for such vast creatures to live on when on the surface? I'm no scientist so beats me, doesn't seem feasible.

I still don't really get why Godzilla even pops up in this story, does he merely awaken to hunt the other two monsters? how does he even know they are around? why does he hunt them? he clearly has some kind of grudge against these things. Since Godzilla has been around since 1954 what has he been doing all this time?? if he lives to hunt the other monsters what the hell does he do to pass the time?!! anyone?? And how in God's name does he NOT get seen by any living soul??!! the thing is f**king massive!! you're telling me he's never been spotted or detected when swimming around or possibly popping up for some sunshine. Seriously I know I'm a picky bastard but come on!

So apart from the patchwork plot what else has this got? well if you're wanting monster battles then not much. Most of the overly long run time is merely watching human characters and their rather mundane problems as their world gets crushed around them. You'd think the development would be solid but its not really, its very shallow, very cliched and wholly boring frankly. What's more the damn bare faced false advertising of man of the moment Cranston as a main character is unbelievable! He's the only character of any interest and they kill the bugger off in the first twenty odd minutes!

The whole movie does play out like and have a very clear Speilbergian quality to it if you ask me. The entire approach both story wise and visually feels like a vamped up 'Close Encounters'...or 'Jaws' even. The way they hide the creatures right until the finale, lots of hinting, the dreary character arcs, the eerie foreboding, the bleak colour scheme and lighting etc...The only problem is this is a Godzilla movie, you pay to see Godzilla, you pay to see Godzilla kicking another monsters ass, you don't pay to see dull humans talking about how they can stop this rarely seen threat. Seriously Watanabe had a face like a goldfish for the entire run time, that's all he did...look shocked through multiple facial closeups accompanied by dramatic musical crescendos. In fact there were loads of overly dramatic moments with facial closeups and dialog read in an overly dramatic manner, quite amusing.

Once we see Godzilla he does look the business admittedly, the beast is gigantic imposing scary and spot on design wise. This Godzilla really looks like the classic Zilla we've all seen in the old Japanese flicks, its his face and spine scales that really sell it this time. The other monsters are fair enough but nothing outstanding, more like rejects from that Del Toro movie with their glowing luminous eyes and...errr luminous glowing egg sack cocoon things. I'm not a Godzilla connoisseur so I don't know but doesn't Zilla ever eat humans? would have been cool to see, plenty of stomp fodder of course which was sweet...yep I know that seems a bit sadistic but hey its a Godzilla movie.

In the end most of the movie doesn't feel like a Godzilla movie but a movie about military folk trying to get a bomb from one place to another and then trying to disarm it. The monster jiggery pokery merely happens in the background. When it does kick off at the end it does so spectacularly...as Godzilla saves the humans? Yep he kills the naughty beasties then simply slumps off back into the ocean without so much as a whiff of human munching. Oh and all the survivors of what's left of San Francisco cheer him as he does so...from the utter ruins of their city. Yes the movie looks fantastic all the way through, Godzilla looks fantastic, the final boss fight at the end looks fantastic and there are some fantastic sequences like the HALO jump.

Despite my hardline review I did kinda enjoy the film and I appreciate how they went about it by not slapping all their cards on the table at once. Whether that was the ideal way to go for this franchise is debatable and I'm sort of borderline with it. Its a solid new Godzilla from Hollywood but personally I think they have kinda acted a bit sneaky and have purposely held Godzilla back aiming to go all out with the possible (slightly inevitable) sequel...dare I say trilogy? Is it just me being cynical or does this seem to be the game plan more often these days.

Post by: Gilfryd on Sep 02, 2014, 07:15:39 PM
You have to look at it this way - After Destoroyah Toho planned on not making another film on their own until Godzilla's 50th anniversary. They wanted TriStar to handle the franchise until then. When it became apparent a sequel to G98 wasn't going to happen, Toho decided to rebound with Godzilla 2000 based on how well their domestic releases performed in the 90s (G2K wasn't entirely a stab against G98). As the Millennium series went on the films made less and less (with GMK being the only spike) until Final Wars bombed entirely. So Godzilla was in a sorry state both in his homeland and abroad.

It was risky for Toho when Legendary took on the character, because if it turned out to be another GINO, it wouldn't be a post-G98 situation where Toho had the financial incentive to put out another G2K type film, Final Wars had settled that. Simply put Godzilla would be away for a very long time.

Fortunately Godzilla 2014 did well and it's basically what Toho wanted back in 98. We have sequels on the way with Godzilla's most popular monster co-stars. They get to sit back and let WB/ Legendary do the heavy lifting (for now).

Godzilla first had red breath at the end of the 90s Mechagodzilla when he's revived and supercharged by a dying Rodan. The red spiral breath also appeared at the end of SpaceGodzilla out of nowhere, and reappeared in Destoroyah when Godzilla is dying of a nuclear heart attack.

I've read the fiery orange breath was used in Godzilla 2000 because the special effects team was trying to recreate Gamera's breath in G3 (released the same year). The breath and green skinned, purple finned Godzilla design reappeared in Megaguirus (although not a sequel to G2K).

GMK went back to basics with a grey skinned, white finned Godzilla with a pumped up blue ray. I think it says a lot about how Kaneko felt about the character after G98 and first two Millennium films. Those are the basic colors we've seen since although it goes all the way back to King Kong vs. Godzilla when we first saw those characters in color.

By the way, the blue glow to Godzilla's fins and ray was inspired by Cherenkov radiation -

The new movie wasn't meant to be realistic, by taking a more grounded route all they did was try to show how it would be if giant monsters and other outlandish shit appeared out of the blue one day.

They can now go crazy with the sequels and all the weirder shit now that they've got people's attention. Hence shit like Mothra and Ghidorah. :P

Kinda disappointed with the transfers and special features on the latest batch of classic Godzilla blurays. Godzilla 2000 comes off like an artifact riddled DVD. Even the menu screens are the same across all the movies.  :-\

Watched the original 1954 bluray after these and the sharpness and clarity just blows them out of Tokyo Bay.

Really wish more of the catalog would get some proper bluray love.

Come on Toho ... get scrubbing on those negatives.

Really REALLY want to see Godzilla vs The Thing(Mothra) on blu. Probably my all around favorite of the Showa era.

Not surprising, really. They're probably just releasing them to cash in quicktimes.

I said something on Facebook yesterday that I want to repeat here:

QuoteTo all the idiots whining about Godzilla 2014 having a "lack of Godzilla", you really need to educate yourselves. Gojira only featured Godzilla himself for about 15 minutes towards the end of the film and more importantly, the debut films were never about Godzilla the creature. They're about humanity's recklessness in using nuclear weapons and the destruction that comes with them. In that sense, the 2014 film was lacking but if your biggest complaint is that the Big G isn't on-screen enough, then you've never seen the original film or been able to fully appreciate what it means.

That'd be all fine and dandy if the rest of the movie wasn't complete and utter shit, but it is.

It's in my top 5 Godzilla movies of all time. (Not that that is saying too much  :laugh:)

We didn't get enough time with the characters before the shit hit the fan. That's my only real issue. Cranston was gone too soon. I was really hoping for some JAWS level characterization.

Pacing, music, sound and visual effects, all on point. Great sense of scale. Great moments of suspense.

Far from anything resembling shit. Let alone utter shit.

I think the point people make is not that there is not enough Godzilla per se (fans have been measuring the screentime taking things utterly literally, as usual), but the fact the film does not feel about him. He is just supposed to "be there" for most of the time. You don't feel his presence.

The film is fundamentally about the MUTOs. They are the main plot drivers -- and the threat of the film. Ford's father is killed by the MUTOs, and this is what puts in gear what little development he has. The MUTOs are the guys that threaten the existence of civilization as we know it and could by any means make us "go back to the stone age." So on and so forth.

Compared to that, what does Godzilla get? A brief exposition scene where it is told that he is nature's way to restore balance. Whoa. And then? Some swimming scenes, then the Hawaii scene which they abruptly cut for no reason other than pissing everyone and their dog off, then the finale. That is the issue. Godzilla is not about Godzilla -- it's about the MUTOs.

It's a different story when it comes to the other sequels the series has offered before. Every film that introduced Godzilla again before this one was about Godzilla, his first appearence or his return. Then the sequels introduce the "antagonist" creatures and rightfully reserve time to introduce them. But they're sequels. They hook onto a pre-existing story.

Comparisons have been made with other films -- Jaws, Alien, the original Godzilla -- that do not show much of the creature throughout. It's true, they don't. The Monsters are, however, the plot drivers -- the film revolves around them. When the Alien is not around in Alien, you still feel he could come out at any moment and strike. Same goes for the shark. And the 50s Godzilla.

To that add that the characters we spend so much time with are frequently seen as by no means interesting. Joe is the only intriguing character the film has, and he is killed in the first act -- leaving us with... Ford, generic-soldier-01; his wife, a medic hottie that does f**k all; Serizawa, the token japanese representative who spews exposition right and left but does next to nothing; and his assistant that does the same on a smaller scale (they wasted Sally Hawkins, man -- unforgivable).

Additionally, the new Godzilla has little to do with the fear of the atomic bomb. The entirety of that subtext was in the marketing campaign, and to be precise in the clock scene from the film -- but nothin to do with how they portrayed Godzilla. Where the original -- 1954 -- Godzilla was a destructive animal, a living horror created by the atomic age, the new Godzilla is a saviour and restorer of balance. The character thus loses the original subtext, making it parallel to the original only in its appearence and abilities.

You can praise the film for how Godzilla as a visual design manages to be conservative and yet effectively working, or how he is powerful, shoots the atomic breath and kicks ass, but no -- the new film has very little to do with the original. In that field, it's far more similar to late Heisei entries (such as Godzilla Vs. SpaceGodzilla) where Godzilla has become a sort of 'anti-hero'. It's not a necessarily bad thing, mind you.

I completely agree. Also I think that people would not be so anal about the actual screen time of Godzilla if the tease would have been more to the point. Meaning, not keep on teasing Godzilla 4 times in the movie, instead making it even slower, but when he finally appears, you don't go back to teasing him.

This wasn't a bad choice. Unless you consider 'anything that wasn't what you wanted' a bad choice.

The trailers did elude to a more a ominous Godzilla creature. I, like many of you, was let down by the slow relation that he was going to be 'the hero' instead of the antihero. Does this make the film bad? No. It's just not what we expected.

The trailers were fed by all the interviews done by the people in the movie and the people making the movie.
This didnt come out of thin air, the director said several time that he was trying to call back the original, there was nothing like that in the movie.

Because the surprise-effect of the second MUTO would probably not have happened, since Joe was on to that. That's at least the only rational, plot-driven explanation i can give, otherwise I'm clueless.

However I wouldn't have minded if we had gotten a better actor and character arc for Ford and his family. Problem was not the lack of Heisenberg, that is just the symptom. Problem was poor writing for Ford and his family.

I hope Edwards offers some words on why Cranston's character was killed. If his intention was, "I don't want people to be hung up on Heisenberg" or something like that, then he really needs to think twice about that script.

That's a lame excuse. The script needed revising.

Good intentions... but in the end they just killed the most interesting character... and gave us a really crappy lead.

They never gave him anything emotional to do after Cranston died. There is an arc with the Mutos, an antagonistic relationship, but it is never fleshed out. You never feel like he hates them, which he should.

Cranston and a Ken Watanabe that actually had something to do would have been the best choices for lead characters, in my opinion. Nothing about the rest of the Brody clan did anything for me.

The first half of Varan (the movie) is quite spooky and atmospheric, the creature really feels like a living god throwing the scientist characters for a loop, but once the military becomes involved the movie drags a little until Varan's nighttime attack on the airport. The disjointed nature of the movie stems from the project's inception as a TV movie.

Post by: King Rathalos on Sep 20, 2014, 04:01:12 AM
I just want them to increase Godzilla's screen time a bit. Even if only up to 15 minutes. I accepted it here due to being a reboot and a new "origin" story (putting origin really lightly in this films regard) where humanity is first being introduced to giant monsters. Next film definitely needs to step it up though. If it's only two monsters (Godzilla & Mothra or Godzilla & Rodan) then they can split it 50/50 between them. 15 mintues for each, which pretty much means 30 minutes of monsters in a two hour movie should be enough screen time :P

Spoiler
Oh and more world building since they're clearly trying to make this a new Godzilla universe. :P

I would just like the human characters to have some kind of relevance and gravitas in the next one. Don't really care if they increase the screen time of Godzilla. I did not have a problem with Godzilla's lack of screen time in this first movie, it was the execution that lacked severly.

When in Jaws the Shark is shown first times in his full, we see him in all his glory for the rest of the movie and don't go back several times to teasing him. Just do the same with the next G-Flick.

I believe there's a great deal more leeway when it comes to original monsters. The main motivation was having foes that could be torn up... aside from murky origins there's also a "No deaths" rule for the Toho veterans.

Cause 90% of the videos are nitpicking with only 10% of the videos being actual valid criticisms. Not only that they stretch way too much for their jokes, half the shit they question as jokes are also answered in most if not all the movies they do.

Only decent one was The Room and that's cause everyone ironically yet not ironically loves that movie.

Yeah, but they state that the sins don't mean it's a bad movie. But there is a tad much nitpicking. They've gotten better though. There was a period for awhile where they were JUST nitpick and not funny. But some of that original humor has leaked back in.

King Kong vs. Godzilla is not bad if you watch the Japanese version. I seen the Japanese version subbed and it's a much better movie. The US cut is a bit harder to watch in my opinion now these days.

Yes, but they renamed him Zilla, not Godzilla. That's their way of saying "f**k you, you shit over our product so we had to turn it into something entirely different." He's only on the list because the rights fell back to Toho after the film was released.

QuoteFor its appearance in Godzilla: Final Wars producer Shōgo Tomiyama (who took charge of the franchise following the death of Godzilla's creator Tomoyuki Tanaka) and Final Wars director Ryuhei Kitamura renamed the creature "Zilla."[24] At the film's Hollywood premiere, they stated their reason for changing the character's name was because they'd felt that the Hollywood remake had taken the "God" out of "Godzilla" by portraying the monster as a mere animal.

No, that's because they already have a Godzilla and confusing the two designs would be bad for financial purposes. For a company that seems to despise it so much, Toho really seems quite happy to embrace the character and make money off it alongside their other properties ◦°˚\(*❛‿❛)/˚°◦

The 1998 Godzilla is miles beyond King Kong vs. Godzilla in terms of quality, which is saying something.

But the two films are separated by 36 years and studio systems on opposite sides of the globe.

It's almost 4 decades and a budget difference of $12,800,000.

Just goes to show you that you can't polish up a turd no matter how much cash you throw at it.

The basic difference in their conceptions is that KKvG was meant to be a comical satire and G98 accidentally becomes comical satire. In 1962 at least Godzilla retains his original characterization, destroys buildings and absorbs damage from conventional weapons without so much as a flinch ... this retaining his invincible titan/God-like status as King of the Monsters.

Yeah, and it wouldn't make much business sense for Toho to disown the 98 Godzilla considering they own it and can still profit from it.

They have the 1974 Godzilla labeled as the 1954.

And are they really counting the American versions of King Kong vs Godzilla and the original Godzilla as American Productions?

By that logic they'd need to add Godzilla:1985.

Perhaps even Invasion of the Astro Monsters as it was co-produced by UPA.

And there is no reason why Toho shouldn't call it Godzilla. They don't because they're forced. They're happy with it.

In the 1998 version the first utterance of the word 'Godzilla' is when Audrey's boss steals her story and goes on the air and mispronounces the name 'Gojira'. She even yells at the screen and corrects him.

So even the origin of the name "Godzilla" in this film is a bastardization of the original.  ;)

No real explanation. In response to Brody muttering under his breath that Gojira was "A Monster", Serizawa's partner, Vivienne Graham (played by the beautiful Sally Hawkins) said "A God. For all intents and purposes." So it may tie into that.

Lets pause and reflect for a moment.

Agreed. It's a very lean, funny, exciting movie meant to be pure entertainment. It was Toho's 30th anniversary movie and practically the reason Godzilla became a big franchise. Its basic setup had a profound impact on the remainder of the series. The effects are iffy, but that's more or less a product of Toho getting access to Kong (plus it's a 1960s Japanese monster movie...). Tsuburaya rebounded anyway with an onslaught of fantastic work with Mothra vs. Godzilla, Ghidorah, Astro-Monster, etc. anyway.

Or as this man put it -
Quote*reaction to irrational hatred of King Kong vs. Godzilla*

Its convoluted history and legacy have always been controversial, but King Kong vs. Godzilla is important as f**k because it arguably set the foundation for and introduced more core tropes to the series than any other entry since, and let's not forget the fact it brought both stars back into public's eyes and ears in color, widescreen, AND stereo no less... It had memorable characters, a funny script, unforgettable action, a bad but enjoyably bittersweet recut, plus it marked the return of Ishiro Honda, Akira Ifukube (one of his best genre film scores), and the final screenplay was penned by the veritable genius of Shinichi Sekizawa!

I can't change people's opinions (even if they are for some of the most ludicrous reasons ever), but at least have the common decency of showing it some goddamn respect.

Ha, too true. Speaking of which, folks, check this out. Head over to eBay. If you're looking for the S.H. Monster Arts Godzilla 2014 figure, it can be had for less than $100 at Buy It Now prices.

Edit*

The S.H. Monster Arts line seems pretty on point though despite the high prices and the ratio of joints popping out and falling off.

X-Plus all the way for this guy. (Though I do buy the quality NECA's and the occasional Bandai)

All that being said I have no problem with the 1998 design and would welcome ANY toy company to rise to the challenge and summon the balls to do it justice.

2014 Monster Arts Godzilla can be pre-ordered for under $65 though.

Someone finally did it. :o ;D

Intense, but does the song really fade out three times? That sounded forced.

That's part of the whole Rules of Nature Goes With X meme. There's other versions where it's just the rules of nature part of the song.

Better example of what the videos are usually like. :P I picked that one just cause it had the convenience of having all the scenes the joke would work with in one video. :laugh:

Title: Re: Godzilla
Post by: Gilfryd on Oct 13, 2014, 07:33:43 PM
I love Mothra, Mothra vs. Godzilla and Ghidorah the Three-Headed Monster. Those are some of the best Honda/ Tsuburaya collaborations. Ebirah, Horror of the Deep is also a lot of fun, even if it doesn't feature the Peanuts as the Shobijin. As far as Mothra's modern appearances go, GMK is great even if it strays from the character's traditional mythology and Tokyo SOS is the best she's looked in a long time.

I suppose this allows me to segue into these  ;D

I've been holding off on the S.H. Monster Arts line for awhile now. The new version of the 90's Godzilla just wasn't different enough from the original, and is exactly the same sculpt as the Burning G minus the gap in the hip joints (both of which I already own) to be worth the money.

Glad I didn't jump on the 2000 and the 2014 because superior versions (2000 with original paint scheme and 2014 with glowing blue spines, a blast of atomic breath, and a severed MUTO head) are in the pipe!

Thinking about getting Battra Larva though. Comes with a cool Mothra Larva.

I don't think the stuff with Erika's spirit is meant to be taken literally. I like to see it as stuff going on in Shiragami's head near the end.

But as far as Biollante and other Heisei/Millennium monsters go, I don't think we'll be seeing any in Legendary's sequels. They already have 4 out of Toho's Top 5 monsters (Godzilla, Mothra, Ghidorah & Rodan), and I'm assuming they didn't go after Mecha-G because of Pacific Rim. If they do pick up more monsters I'm thinking it'll be other classics like Gigan, Hedorah, Baragon, Anguirus, etc.

10 days to go on Kaiju Gaiden!

QuoteLegendary Beast Wolfman vs. Godzilla (伝説の巨獣狼男対ゴジラ - Densetsu-no Kyoju Ookami Otoko tai Gojira) was a fan film that was directed and produced by professional filmmaker, Shizuo Nakajima and several former filmmakers of Toho Studios in 1983. It stars Godzilla doing battle against a giant Wolfman.

Thought to have been lost for many years, according to Godzilla fan and devoted researcher of the film, Mark Jaramillo, Shizuo Nakajima had learned many film techniques and finer points in filming such as photography and special effects. Also known for being both a major fan of Godzilla, as well as being favored in Toho's Art Department, Nakajima and a few friends of his had decided that due to their acquired talents on part from their work at Toho that a film of their own should be made to show off their talent.

Having acquired materials to create suits and buildings identical to those seen in Toho's own Godzilla Films, Shizuo and his crew managed to shoot several earlier drafts of their concept of Godzilla vs. Wolfman, although in 8mm film. After tinkering with many of their draft ideas, Shizuo and his crew began work on Godzilla vs. Wolfman with the intention of recreating the films of his past, and their most infamous scenes, with a piece of his own.

I just want a well-made, large Godzilla figure. I was going to get the NECA 1/4 scale one until people reported the sound chip breaking. Then I wanted the S.H. figure, until I realized it wasn't large scale.

This sucks.

Nothing official. But pre-orders are selling out in Japan. No reason to believe it won't pop up over here sometime between now and the next Godzilla film. They are already talking sequel on next gen consoles.

So far it's only a Sony thing.

Hello guys, I need your help for something.
I was thinking to make a comic, the fan film made by Alien3, Godzilla Returns.
But the problem a little problem, do not live in London.
And like someone identify the names of streets and cities, and send some pictures of real places. It would be very grateful.
By the way to promote Alien 3 fan-film.

Just played the demo that's available on the Jap PSN store for a bit. Initial awkward controls aside (top shoulder buttons to make Godzilla turn instead of the right stick ???) the game is really fun and easy to get into. I can see it getting repetitive, so if I ever get it it'll be that kind of game I pick up when I need mindless entertainment.

Also...

70's Mecha-G is a lil bitch. At least in the demo.

I have the original Japanese version and the New World Pictures English version with Raymond Burr and a Dr. Pepper Machine in almost every shot. I love both to DEATH.

I remember being 8 or 9 when that came out. That dark modern Godzilla shook my world that had only ever known the films from the 60's and 70's. It has a very special place in my nostalgia palace.

Every shot was an exaggeration of course. But the product placement was front and center. Shots lingered embarrassingly long (40 seconds) on the now famous Dr. Pepper Machine.

But yeah, I agree. I hope to see them go all out with the suit. I wonder if they're going to bring in a new monster or revamp an old one? I'd be fine with either.

I wonder if it's going to get an actual theatrical release? Godzilla 2000 did, riding on the success of the '98 film. Maybe this will do the same after the 2014 movie.
Title: Re: Godzilla
Post by: Ratchetcomand on Dec 08, 2014, 01:25:11 AM
I doubt it will be released in American theaters unless it's a limited release. Godzilla 2000 got a major release in the US because a Sony executive was in Japan when Godzilla 2000 opened there and was impressed by the long lines to see the movie. Many of the negative reviews of the 1998 film commented on how much more fun the Japanese films were which give Sony the idea to release it here in America. Godzilla 2000 was a stand alone movie and 15 years had passed since the last Toho Godzilla film played American theaters, so that made Godzilla 2000 a perfect candidate for a theatrical release. The movie was also cheap to market and dub, so they didn't lose any major money on the movie. I'm going from what Keith Aiken from Sci-Fi Japan told me on Facebook.
Title: Re: Godzilla

That's probably what this will be too. Cheap to make, cheap to market, and it hits right at the perfect time (2 years after the 2014 film, 2 years before the 2018 one) to really cash in on both the old fans and the new people that hopped on with Gareth Evans' film.

I wonder if they're going to go total reboot, or acknowledge the original film? I'd kind of prefer they just do a whole new story this time around.

This is brilliant news. Hope Toho stick with suitmation too, and reckon that is a safe bet; Toho will not have the budget to do otherwise. Fingers crossed this  news will inspire Bandai to put their Movie Monster Series vinyls back into full production.

Hopefully with Mothra and Ghidorah at Legendary Toho will lay off them for a while. I would like to see Rodan though, Anguirus too. But I'm thinking this'll be another 'fresh start' movie with new monsters like 2000 and 2014.

I'm excited but they really need to announce a promising director and effects team.

I won't mind if American revamps the classic Toho movies in the Legendary series while Toho makes new monsters. It depends how well the new monsters sell since Bandai may not be up for the idea. Bandai wants kids and other people to buy toys in Japan.

Hope they stick with a man in a suit and don't jump on the CGI just because it worked in G14.

I'm thinking the same thing. I wonder what sort of story it will have. Is it going to be independent of Edwards' film?

The re-edit and the dubbing saved G2000, by all accounts. Even Toho prefers that version.
Title: Re: Godzilla
Post by: Gilfryd on Dec 08, 2014, 10:54:29 PM
G2K's US cut does has one of the better post-Showa dubs. They really did a nice job of enhancing that whole movie.

The Millennium series was really playing off the later Heisei series as much as G98, the difference here is that the 99-04 films (even GMK - at least financially) weren't nearly as successful as anything in the 90s. So Toho must be really happy with Legendary's movie and the prospect of sequels to go about with their own movie(s?) in the meantime. It'll be interesting to see what they do.

Rumor has it Takashi Yamazaki will be directing the 2016 Godzilla film. He's probably best known for Toho's Always: Sunset on Third Street series, the second of which (released in 2007) opened with this really cool imaginary Godzilla sequence (one of the film's characters is a struggling writer) -

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SEEXydQc9KE (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SEEXydQc9KE)

As you can probably tell by that clip, Yamazaki is also known for his extensive, and by Japanese film industry standards, impressive use of visual effects. He's gone on to do bigger (and better looking) films like the live action Space Battleship Yamato (2010) and the upcoming two-part Parasyte adaptation (2014-15).

If he does have the job, this could very well be the first Toho Godzilla film to fully embrace CGI, which is a little exciting and depressing at the same time. Toho wants to make it known their Godzilla is different than Hollywood's, and well done practical/ tokusatsu effects could do that now the character is in the spotlight again. We'll just have to wait and see...

Love the imagery. CGI Godzilla leaves a lot to be desired (It was 2007 though.)

It'd flip if it was a period piece. That's one of the things I think they could do to make it stand apart from the 2014 and on going American franchise. I'd love a new Japanese trilogy that takes place in the  Showa, Heisei, and Millennium time frames.

Imagine a Japanese Godzilla film with Stan Winston level suit action.  :o

Toho should bring in the masters to collaborate with the Japanese effects wizards. I mean, if they can reach out to Sum 41 for a song for Final Wars they could reach out to the team that did Jurassic Park or the wizards who made Sammael and Wink for Hellboy.

Theoretically, the budget of those films would be quite enough to afford good effects. Gamera 3 cost less than most Godzilla films that followed it -- the key is planning and an adequately long creative process.

G14 could of been better. 

If he stepped on one human.  It was an extra $50mill in box office.

His planet.  His rules.
Obey or meet natures fury.

Squish.

Gilfryd and Doomrulz, agreed on all points. However, to see the Godzilla character perfected after being an uber fan since 1974 I am a tad biased. As my mate said after our first viewing..."He's the guv'nor!". As much as I love the Toho movies, the majority are nothing but ridiculous camp cheese, that only appeals to a loyal niche. Even the Japanese now have a low regard for these movies. The superb realization of Edwards' Godzilla alone puts G2014 in the same league as the classic and incredible movies I mentioned; in my humble opinion. Hope this explains my overwhelmingly positive view of Edwards' incarnation. And Gil, you are absolutely right, the best is yet to come. Ohhh my :)

Can't disagree, Verm. The trailer sold us G as an unstoppable force of nature, toxic enough to kill you if you got close enough to see him. Felt a little short changed on first viewing, as he was a straight up hero. Not anymore, G2014 is the guv'nor; and he rocks!

Nothing wrong with Camp and Cheese. It's just one facet of the multiverse of tones Godzilla as an icon has done well.

The 2014 film is just one more 'successful' take on the big G. One that many non-Godzilla fans, and luke warm fans can get behind. I'm very excited to see where this series goes within the creative bubble Edwards has crafted. Also excited to see where Toho takes the character in it's newly announced film.

I'm totally supportive of your view Samayel. As I am with Omega's love of the 1998 version. Though I can't meet either of your levels of enthusiasm for either films, I can understand how they attract you so. Long live the G.

Word, BCP. Though I am astounded that Omega rates GINO. I deemed it a decent Dai Kaiju movie, but because of, erm, GINO; I walked out about 3/4 of the way into the movie! Went to drown my sorrows in Jack Daniels LOL! Would love to hear Omega's reasons for rating it. It will improve my own opinion, with a little luck!

Omega's love 1998 is infectious in the best possible way. He really turned me on to aspects of the design that I did not know before. The fact that the beast was largely practical effects blew my mind.

I love when he posts about it. But the many detractors cause him to take a defensive stance which can paint the overall picture with colors he did not intend. Check out his Monster Blog ... Monster Legacy. It's what EPIC looks like when it's growing. That place is quickly (and probably already is) THE one stop shop for all things Monsters on the internet right now.

There are so many Godzilla flavors it's just crazy. My advice is to unabashedly love and cherish which ever ones you want and try to let others enthusiasm make your life a little brighter. Let the hate roll off your back and keep on truckin.

10/10 best Godzilla ever

No, but seriously, I don't like giving ratings to things, be they movies, books or songs. I feel like it is a restrictive way to express what you think of a film.

As to why I like the movie well, first off, I am a huge reptile enthusiast. They are utterly fascinating creatures, and the Godzilla of this film is an incredible, organic combination of reptilian traits (with some humanoid  and bird thrown in as well). For example, Godzilla has these big scales on the back of its lower jaw like Green Iguanas do, but where the placement of those scales is Iguana-like, their appearence is based on Crocodile ostheoderms. The scales on its body vary from Crocodile-like, to Lizard-like, to Snake-like, but the overall color scheme is based on Sailfin Dragons. The whole design has a realistic finish to it and it feels alive. This Godzilla looks and feels like a living, breathing creature; imposing and magnificent. This also includes the way it moves and how it is characterized.

The film also has a great urban style to it, being mostly set in Manhattan and with a lot of raining throughout. I love this last stylistic choice, not only because it sets up the perfect mood for the film, but also because I am in some ways attached to rain as well.

Needless to say, the score is utterly, insanely powerful and a blast to listen to. It's a perfect companion to the film and highlights all the major scenes exquisitely, bringing them the right emotions of wonder, thrill, etc.

Now I'll avoid writing a lot but I also like aspects of the film that are frequently maligned. I like the baby Godzillas because they complete the whole "50s sci-fi hrough 90s eyes" philosophy the film has (the same style ID4 has). There is a giant monster but also smaller creatures roaming about. I love their design and although a few effects shots are dated (in an otherwise visually excellent film, even to this day) they're a great addition to the film. Most people yell Jurassic Park, but I actually feel the scene owes more to THEM! and other films of that kind.

Noted and fully taken on board, BCP. I was honoured when Omega asked for, and used, info from my copy of Pacific Rim : Man, Machine and Monsters book for his blog; as the UK got the book about a month before the US. He even gave me credit! I should've book marked the blog. Omega, I'll be sure to catch up on your blog, but please PM me your concise thoughts on G1998, would be very much appreciated.

Thanks for your insight, it surely gives me food for thought and GINO will be getting another viewing tonight. I'm just so happy to find people who whorship Godzilla as I do, the good and the, erm, less good. Totally different to the folk at Tohokingdom who'd buy a turd if I carved "Godzilla" into it :D

Good movie. Love the photography and the score. Main issues are: once Joe dies Ford is not an interesting enough character to carry the film on his own (only character that could have is Serizawa and he just is there to spew exposition and look stoned throughout); and the film focuses far more on the MUTOs than on Godzilla, making them the real plot drivers for some reason. I've written more detailed thoughts elsewhere in this thread.

I have the whole soundtrack on iPod!

The most accurate model kit there is (for now) is the Zokei Kobo model kit sculpted by Yuji Sakai. It's based on the maquettes though, so it has the fifth finger that was removed from the film version.

I really do hope to see a SH Monsterarts version one day. The Heisei Godzilla I have is great.

Here is another. (Not mine as well ... a friend and awesome photographer David Eric Dopko!)

These are the 25cm scale and are significantly cheaper than their 30cm big brothers (if you can get them upon release.) Xplus seems to be re-issuing the harder to find ones now that the holy grail is out.

Ghidorah was waiting for me when I got home from vacation. A HUGE sigh of relief that he was in perfect condition. I had been seeing lots of pics of damaged Ghidorahs. Horrible missing legs, broken horns, necks, jaws. Mostly due to poor shipping methods. These things apparently shipped without a shipping box with extra padding.

Ghidorah is the first in the 25cm scale releases that I own. I have Godzilla/Minya 1968 on order. Can't wait.

Not that I condone this, but ...

Change Tresspasser to Godzilla. Tweak the year, and maybe the outcome of the battle. It's the same city. Golden Gate Bridge is a monster magnet!

I'd rather see Godzilla 2 take place decades after the first with the three children from the first film (Sam Brody, The little girl that survives the tsunami Zoe, and the Japanese boy from the train) all grown up and doing their 'film related monster careers' based on their traumatic childhoods. That way we can get into some higher tech stuff to battle Godzilla and other earth based giant monsters.

The 3rd could take place decades after that, building off supporting characters and agendas from Godzilla 2. By this time we should be in space, have monster island, and a virtual Destroy All Monsters scenario set to pop.

I thought the film was alright. I don't like the idea of making an outlandish concept such as Godzilla "realistic" and the lack of monster screen time, but I've seen way worse kaiju films over the years. Godzilla's updated roar was pretty cool, and while I prefer an explosive beam, I liked his napalmy beam.

If Godzilla 2014 was supposed to be a "realistic" take on the animal, I wonder if the film showed a somewhat accurate portrayal of how the military would respond to a kaiju attack.

Title: Re: Godzilla

Well, for starters they would have a better preparation against these things seeing as they have had 60 years (if you consider 1954) or 16 years (considering 1999) to plan out some sort of counter defensive. But no; no counter measures in case there's another Godzilla (or another MUTO) and the best containment you can think of for a giant pod of unknown origin is wires.

It's a Godzilla movie though. You don't really have to expect perfectly working military. Military fails in reality, too.

Well obviously it is going to have silly Hollywood cliches, but considering the director said he wanted a "grounded" and "realistic" vision of Godzilla combined with other aspects such as minimal use of the atomic ray or Godzilla resurrecting definitely tried to make the film more grounded in reality. Still I don't dislike the film, it just wasn't my cup of tea.

From IDW's Bobby Curnow -
QuoteWe will have a new mini-series this summer. It should be from a variety of creators, each handling a different issue. So similar to Legends in that way, but this story will be a cohesive whole, focused on one main story. More info in coming months.

If anyone missed out on Legends, it was an anthology featuring these guys below, so an unofficial volume 2 or sorts should be interesting.

QuoteGodziszewski and Ryfle also recorded commentary tracks for Toho's Battle in Outer Space (1959) and Mothra (1961) which are included on Sony's Icons of Sci-Fi: The Toho Collection. The pair are currently collaborating on an Ishiro Honda biography with hopes of releasing it later this year.

News from the NYCTF indicates the Diamond Distributors deal with X-Plus is BACK ON!

For Godzilla x-Plus collectors in the west this is HUGE. 24 figures in 12 months. 12 various Godzilla designs, 12 assorted enemy/alley Kaiju. QC issues not withstanding this will save collectors a pretty penny having to import.

Other reports indicate that this new deal will include 25cm as well as 30cm. The 25cm line has some nice exclusives such as Biollante, Mothra, Ghidorah, and Komonga.

(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.kaijuaddicts.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2014%2F02%2FXPlusBiollanteGodzilla.jpg&hash=d4c8cd205ddb751f5fa497db03f11940384c5ba2)

Meanwhile in the far east ... this new X-Plus figure has been announced!

(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.kaijuaddicts.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2015%2F01%2FSakai91FromBook.jpg&hash=89ebd3da23e0e30a8d5357650585ebd9a22ff861)

And the Godzilla 2014 gets an additional head sculpt that is said to be coming WITH the standard release.

(https://www.avpgalaxy.net/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.kaijuaddicts.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2015%2F01%2FX-Plus-Godzilla-2014-Prototype-SuperFestival67.jpg&hash=f211950675fb47a3f8a826bcb0b5c6b10d77cc85)

Holding out hope that the exclusive will come packaged with the severed female Muto head.

All the designs from 1954 to 1984 to 1998 to 2014 have the spines starting from the neck -- what is different is the length of the spines (or the "curve" they form).

Not a repaint I'd be interested in. Don't go in for the 'video game' repaints of figures. Nice try though NECA.

However I'd hardly call NECA's G 1985 a fail. That hideous head sculpt they had on it before has been greatly improved upon.

Not a repaint I'd be interested in. Don't go in for the 'video game' repaints of figures. Nice try though NECA.

However I'd hardly call NECA's G 1985 a fail. That hideous head sculpt they had on it before has been greatly improved upon.

The original sculpt is the one people were complaining about. It can be seen in the link we both commented on.

That being said: I saw the improved sculpt version in the store yesterday and I didn't bring it home with me. Not for $19.  :-\

Bring it down to $8-9 and we might have a love connection.  :laugh:

Saw NECA's other Japanese Godzilla efforts as well. Lets just say they don't translate nearly as well as the Aliens, Predators, and Gremlins that have been so impressive from that company.

It's still really odd though, the game design is obviously a kind of 60s Godzilla. And the 54 design is the cover art... while NECA uses their 84 sculpt as the base for all this...

Anyway, more cool art -

From last summer but...
QuoteMirjahangir: Will you be doing figures of enemy monsters, either for the classic or modern Godzilla line?

Falk: No plans for MUTO or monsters yet. We are limited somewhat in what we can do with the classic films anyway, so for now it is better for us to focus on all the key iconic versions of Godzilla over the past 60 years.

Mirjahangir: Would NECA ever make a Godzilla 1998 figure?

Falk: Last on the list if we do, don't like anything about the film or the design personally, and many feel the same.

Mirjahangir: Can you reveal anything about the future of the classic Godzilla line?

Falk: Well, we have three more underway currently – two are a little more unconventional or different than what you might think initially. You might see one more this Fall possibly as a Black Friday retail exclusive.

Also I want to make sure we cover the original 1956 version [1954 in Japan] no matter what – it is important to me that we can pay tribute to the one that started it all

Could because of Bandai doing Godzilla figures also. Sub-licenses can limit companies on what they can do with toys. For example, Mcfarlane toys has the rights to Halo figures while Bandai can make Halo kits from what I've been told.

Comments from Anno -
QuoteGodzilla exists in a world of science fiction, not only of dreams and hopes, but he's a caricature of reality, a satire, a mirror image. Recently, Japan has also been careless in the way it has attempted to depict him. In all honesty, Japanese production budgets and schedules are so tight, compared to the world's capitol [Hollywood], not to mention the constraints imposed on filmmakers in terms of content. Frankly, I'm not sure how far outside the lines we can go.

However, movies have pride, even trifling little films; therefore, just as in the case of the new EVAs, I'm going in full force. When I think about what I've accomplished, the twists and turns befitting a screenplay, everything has led to this point. I write this with the hope that the reader might understand at least to some degree that no matter what a creator writes, it's just an excuse, but I'm under pressure to make a visual effects fantasy film representative of modern Japan, with the full awareness of our current situation, and will be subjected to intentions both good and bad.

Finally, to all those of you who have given me support, to all the fans who've purchased tickets to my films, to everyone who has given me the will to continue with my works, I'm eternally grateful. Thank you.

And Higuchi -
QuoteThe thought of this resurrection has my chest pounding. Almost three decades have passed since I snuck into this film industry, and had no idea what would transpire before me, because I was so idealistic. The difference between my first, carefree world of amateur filmmaking, compared to the reality of the ups and downs of the industry, I feel as though I've been a hero running for 30 years. But, at last, the time has come!

I've come to see those reckless heroes of my high school and college days hit mid-life. It all seems like a dream, but now I must come back to reality. There's no more room for idle talk. "What you really want to do, what you really need to do, what you should never do, what you may not be able to do," are the thoughts that've fought in my head, and held me back.

It's a veritable championship over one's own mind. What now, then? Playtime is over. Nevertheless, with my best friend standing alongside me, we will triumph over the pressure that would otherwise make me run far away. I was born in this country which gave life to this great divinity [Godzilla], which destined me to work in visual effects, up until this very moment. I give unending thanks to Fate for this opportunity; so next year, I'll give you the greatest worst nightmare.

I wonder what took them so long? Godzilla VS The Devil has been a concept kicked around since 1978 (even though it was considered a rumor after Toho denied it's existence. And why wouldn't they?)

Judging from some of that art work it looks like Godzilla is going to a hell inspired by Dante Alighieri's first chapter of the Divine Comedies. That's some fertile stomping ground!

He wasn't really swallowed by the black hole, only pushed underground by it. His atomic breath nullified the black hole and allowed it to dissipate. What happens isn't entirely clear but there's a reason why he seemingly bursts out of the ground during the post credits scene.

On Godzilla vs. the Devil...
QuoteOne of the most famous "lost projects" is sadly one rooted in misconception. The concept first came to light back in the late 1970's following a report by Ed Godziszewski in Japanese Giants #5. The movie was said to be a joint venture between Toho and UPA Productions. The script was to be American and the concept was stated to be given a budget of $4 million and a running time of 110 minutes. It was also stated that Godzilla was to face off against a variety of monsters that included a giant spider, a giant fish and a giant bird. The movie's climax was to feature a brawl with Godzilla against Satan. It sounds too crazy to be true, and sadly was. The following year, in 1979, Japanese Giants #6 ran an additional report about a trip to Toho studios where producer Tomoyuki Tanaka denied the existence of the project. As fate would have it, the denial ended up drifting to obscurity while the previous issue's report of the idea spread and spread. Beyond the internet, publications began to talk about the project as well, including 1998's Japan's Favorite Mon-Star: The Unauthorized Biography of "The Big G". Toho Kingdom itself is guilty of this as well, as the concept was listed on the site for years. Regardless, the project was not something that Toho had officially considered. As an aside, the pictures above were created by artist Matt Frank for use by Toho Kingdom.

I'd buy it.

The old version they have was before they went totally screen accurate.

XPlus is also known for their iconic 'the way you remember them from the film' poses too. What pose would you have them do Godzilla 98 in Omega?

The first or the last for me thank you.

I XPlus gets around to it again one day. There are actually lots of figures they haven't made yet. Even more in 30cm form.

No Gabara, Kamacuras, GMK Baragon, Mothra, and Ghidorah. No M.O.G.U.E.R.A., 1991 King Ghidorah/Mecha-King Ghidorah, Adult or Larva Battra, Megaguirus, Orga, or Destoroyah.

And we sorely need 30cm versions of Manda, Ebirah, Jet Jaguar, Megalon, not to mention Godzilla himself from vs Magalon, and the two 70's MechaGodzilla films.  :-\

Concept art from very early preproduction of the 2014 film has surfaced that features the planned enemies for Godzilla in the film. This is before the Mutos were chosen. It was created by concept artist Josh Nizzi.It was created back in 2011.The names for both monsters are written in the lower left corner of the concept art for each respective kaiju. The kaiju with multiple legs is called Rokmutul, and the one with wings is called Pterodactyl. I will put it in a spoiler tag so it doesn't take up the screen.

I think it was Thomas Tull who decided early on that you would root for Godzilla, and that one enemy monster would be multi-limbed while another would fly. It must have been decided later on that they would be male and female of the same species, with the extra arms on the male repurposed for flight.

Another excellent G2014 sculpture by Hector Arce -

I know right? His tail looks ludicrously long and thin in the toys and statues and some artwork.

Yet in certain scenes of the film, it looks a bit thicker as well as shorter. I guess that could be perspective at play. Illusions are a funny thing.

In all honesty, I think ALL the teasers and trailers did a poor job advertising the film, they made it sound like the film would have deeper motifs and would include themes that would resound with modern day problems but instead what we got was a very flat plot with very few monster fight scenes.

what? It sounds like you just had high expectations man. None of the trailers gave off that feel to me, I didn't expect it to any of that in particular. The trailers did have a more serious feel than the movies but the trailers showed a bad ass godzilla movie and we got, in my opinion, a bad ass godzilla movie.

The trailers did give off a feeling, I'm afraid; the whole "nature must always right itself" line Serizawa makes hinted at deeper themes that the original Japanese Gojira film did; that the arrogance of man is ultimately our own downfall, sadly the movie was a very poor fightfest.  The director could have made a good Godzilla movie either by a) go the Jaws/Alien route and show as little of Godzilla as possible until the finale or b) show as much of Godzilla as possible and include a LOT of fight scenes.  Sadly, Gareth Edwards took the worst of both options by revealing Godzilla as early as possible while showing him as little as possible.  Thank god he's not directing the next film.

And what people still fail to realize is that Godzilla's screentime in G14 is comparable to every other G movie before it.

You all take this so literally.

The problem is not the screentime or screentime to runtime ratio; the problem is Godzilla is almost never the focus. The MUTOs drive the entire story of the movie. It's not the same as other Godzilla films because those were sequels.

The original, 1984, and 1998 were about Godzilla; the story was about Godzilla and Godzilla was the plot driver. Here, he is not. That is the problem.

Godzilla also isn't meant to be a symbolic personification of the main human character either; he's a force of nature, not a puppet whether it be metaphorical or literal.  In this regard, even Godzilla 98 is better than 14; the last time Godzilla personified a human character was Godzilla: Final Wars and that movie sucked.

Eeeyup. '98 is thematically closer to the original film in this regard. '14 may have a 'typical' Godzilla design but the character is made more into an anti-hero more than anything -- far closer to late Showa films.

Post by: Gilfryd on May 04, 2015, 06:55:42 PM
Oh good god.

From 54 to Mothra vs. Godzilla he's very much a villain, a destroyer (even his comical, jester-like portrayal in King Kong vs. Godzilla makes him to be a big bastard of a bully). From Ghidorah to Destroy All Monsters he takes on a more reluctant hero persona, more or less doing what he wants while indirectly protecting the earth and its people. Then starting with All Monsters Attack and Hedorah he becomes kind of a giant atomic superhero and we haven't seen anything like that since.

The Heisei and Millennium films (save GMK where he's very much a purposeful destroyer again) more or less reverted to the mid-Showa 'force of nature doing what he wants' persona where one minute he can be destructive while another he can be seemingly protecting people, the lesser of two evils. And that's basically what we saw in 2014.

I know the trailers implied a 'destroy of worlds' type Godzilla (which I honestly hope to see in Anno & Higuchi's 2016 Godzilla), but the final film doesn't bother me as much because it's very much an unofficial Millennium film. References are made to events in 54 and the story goes on from there. It's kind of a big budget Hollywood Godzilla 2000 type film, and works as a nice introductory film to newcomers which a reboot is supposed to do.

That does not suprise me at all. I guess the average run time of the Toho movies was about 85 minutes, and G2014 is 123 minutes. Same amount of G, but 35 minutes more of other stuff.


So, I've just learned that Legendary have optioned 5 Toho kaiju. KG, Rodan and Mothra we know about, a fourth has apparently been named and the fifth is still a mystery. Who is the fourth kaiju?

Scratch that last, the fourth Toho creation is still a mystery too, though the smart money is on Mecha-Godzilla.

Yet people hate AVPR for some reason, right? ;)  You know the writers made it very clear in their notes that the reason Godzilla chases the Mutos is because he's the alpha predator who's above them on the food chain and feeds off them.  Yet in the film Gareth Edwards, for some reason, doesn't portray Godzilla's biological imperative to feed and instead has him return empty-handed to the ocean.  So Godzilla travelled across an entire hemisphere to hunt the Mutos and ends up deciding he doesn't need to eat them after all the fighting and damage he's done and sustained?  That makes even less sense than eggbarfing.
Title: Re: Godzilla
Post by: Samayel on May 04, 2015, 09:55:58 PM
My interpretation of Godzilla's reason for hunting the MUTOs was self preservation, not because he required food. MUTOs feed from Godzillas, and Godzilla knew he couldn't stand against an entire brood of MUTOs; so he had to take em out before they could incubate momma's eggs.
Title: Re: Godzilla
Post by: predxeno on May 04, 2015, 10:17:25 PM
There's no evidence that the Mutos fed off Godzillas, that skeleton the eggs were found in didn't even belong to a Godzilla.
Title: Re: Godzilla
Post by: The Alien Predator on May 04, 2015, 10:18:29 PM
He could be displaying territorial aggression.

It's like when a lion kills a hyena, he doesn't eat it, he just wants to ensure his dominance and leave more prey for himself. In the savannah, lions like to think they are the alpha predators.

Godzilla and the MUTOs both fed on radiation and thus were competitors.
Title: Re: Godzilla
Post by: predxeno on May 04, 2015, 10:21:50 PM
Long story short, the writers defined Godzilla's relationship with the Mutos as a predator-prey one and the fact that fans on this thread have to conjecturize the reasons for Godzilla's behavior is a drastic flaw made on Gareth's part.

The eggs were layed in a Godzilla carcass, using radiation from that carcass to incubate. Whether that Godzilla died naturally or was taken down by a pack of MUTOs is unknown, but I'll go with the latter.

I don't have it with me right now, but there is a diorama-esque picture detailing the entire dig site, and underneath it is a Godzilla skeleton. I think where Serizawa and Graham are standing during this shot: (https://turntherightcorner.files.wordpress.com/2014/02/godzilla-2014-movie-screenshot-skeleton-bones-remains.jpg?w=1024)
is supposed to be the tail or ribcage, hence the length.

I also remember various points made about how the two creatures are ancient enemies, which obviously the fossil serves to illustrate.

Godzilla and the MUTOs absorb radiation. What stopped Godzilla from absorbing some of the MUTO's energy once he killed them? The ending of the movie also mentions how the fallout from the nuclear explosion was no longer a threat.

The "predator-prey" relationship can be used metaphorically, Godzilla still "hunted" the MUTOs like lions hunt hyenas.

By your logic, the Predators aren't "predators" either because they are never shown to eat Xenomorphs or humans. So why should we call them predators?

The word just sounds cool and gets the point across. Predator = dangerous, predator = hunter. It's not always meant to be taken literally in fiction.

But technically, yeah, predators do nourish themselves on their kills.
Title: Re: Godzilla
Post by: predxeno on May 05, 2015, 02:10:27 AM
The Predator was originally going to be called Hunter instead but due to rights issues they had to change the name to what we have now.  All these retcon explanations are the equivalent to me justifying eggbarfing, they make sense if you twist things around a bit but it can still be seen as sloppy direction.

Pretty much this - Destoroyah's a lot like Hedorah in that both are made up of hundreds of millions of tiny microscopic individuals working together to create news forms.

Toho's made it pretty obvious through the years that Godzilla is male. All the 'baby Godzilla' characters have been adopted.

Mothra lays eggs on her own, but she's a feminine entity with magical (sometimes cosmic) qualities so I've always seen her as kind of a phoenix - her offspring signaling rebirth.

Other female monsters would be Biollante and Megaguirus.

It's referred to as male yet it has the ability to fertilize itself.

Oh what could have been...

Well that sucks. I wonder what the studio said to him?

Cool how it's like a classic Showa era Godzilla film in that way.

Agreed. Godzilla feels cool again and in this climate we're bound to see all sorts of Godzilla related shit of better quality that we will buy. The new game is really good and it's PS4 bigger brother adds almost everything the first was lacking. Better polished graphics, characters, and multiplayer. X-Plus is putting out new and reissue Godzilla Kajiu from Japan AND the new Diamond Deal will have North American collectors seeing two new figures a month for a year! The franchise has never been stronger and the 'best' Godzilla film could very well be ahead of us. The 2014 film sowed many seeds.

The 2016 Japanese film ... the next legendary film. I feel like another cartoon is due. It's all good on monster island.

I remember being so hyped before the release and then ended up being so disappointed that i have lost interest in Godzilla and it's characters future. That said it did look nice occasionally, but it's not a good film.
Title: Re: Godzilla
Post by: Bat Chain Puller on May 17, 2015, 01:44:09 PM
It's not a good film in the sense that "Jaws" was a good film. But as a "Godzilla film" it hit it out of the park.

It could have been better, sure.

There were lots of things implied in early teasers and trailers that never really happened. But that's advertising. Everyone should know by now to temper expectations because the finished product is almost never as good as the movie you grew in your mind based on what you saw in the teaser.

Prometheus was a hardcore lesson in this. I'd never been so amped to see a film. But when you set realistic standards and don't get carried away like an expectant child who just KNOWS they are getting a pony for their birthday, you'll find you'll generally enjoy more things in life.

With the exception of "victory roar" shot (who's levels have been altered to make for a better publicity still) the rest can be found in the film just as the appear in the photos.

I'm not 100% on this one though. I looks like a shot I remember, but cropped closer to show more detail.

Hell if I can find the GIF now but back when the SDCC trailer was leaked, there was a GIF going around that showed Godzilla looking into a building window. That definitely wasn't in the movie.

Anyone that knows me well knows that I utterly adore Crash McCreery. He's my favourite concept artist of all time. His work on the Jurassic Park films, Relic, Galaxy Quest, Predator 2 and so many f**king other things is so astoundingly amazing I really, really couldn't put it through words properly. I admire him endlessly and one of my goals in life is to be able one day to at least have a style similar to his.

Mark Maitre is an incredibly talented sculptor, too (he's worked on The Lost World, Underworld, Relic, She Creature, & a bunch of other cool features).

Astoundingly enough however I don't like the Gryphon very much at all. It's mostly to do with the fact it's based on the description from the script, but it looks like a goofy pastiche of animals. I do realize it's the entire point of it but it just doesn't work. The head looks very cool and menacing but the body looks disproportioned (though it does fit the japanese Tokusatsu-type Monster proportions -- but that doesn't mean much) and those hooved feet are just out of nowhere.

Godzilla looks great, however. By far my favourite attempt at applying a realistic finish to the traditional Godzilla silhouette. Just look at the bastard:

This last chapter features a new interview with screenwriter (1995 rewrite) Don Macpherson, final comments from the GODZILLA '94 team (including director Jan De Bont ;  writer Terry Rossio;  concept artist Ricardo Delgado; creature sculptor Joey Orosco and FX supervisor Boyd Shermis) and more never-before-seen photos from the unmade film.

And that was just the Showa era.

QuoteA new timeline for KONG in SKULL ISLAND could lead to a showdown with GODZILLA?

Kong will have to be 250 feet taller to ball with Godzilla.

And increasing Kong's size will make him less of a character and more of a force of nature ... basically a gorilla kaiju.

I don't see it happening. Or rather, working. But the brass at Legendary probably smell a "Justice League/Avengers of monster movies" and they will chase that dollar to the very end.

They should cool their jets and just let Edwards build towards his own "Destroy All Monsters" ... then they can go for it without jeopardizing that coolness.

I'm a fan and even I have a headache. The layout for this is nuts. People going out of their way to do stuff like this make it seem way more complex and it's off-putting to newcomers.

Showa - 54 to 75
Heisei - 84 to 95 (ignoring 55 to 75)
Millennium - 99, 00, 01, 02-03 and 04 are separate storylines.

Other Toho films come and go. The Kiryu films references past monsters more so than the exact events of their films -

It's a very boring movie, not mention, it's riddled with plot holes. There's so much that doesn't make sense in the film, from Niko operating electric equipment in the middle of a torrential downpour, to working in a radioactive area with no safety gear, to Godzilla's size changing at random as he moves about the city, both under and over it, to 15+ helicopters chasing him through narrow corridors in the skies of NYC.

People act say that G98 is a realistic take on Godzilla when it's not. Design wise, maybe but not the rest of the film. The whole world would laugh at the US army since the US army destroy most of NYC and it only took four missiles to kill Godzilla in film. Godzilla hardly destroyed much of NYC.

Two sidewinders did that; two AGM 84s utterly wrecked MSG; and where two torpedoes did not even scratch Godzilla, six couples of AGM65s killed it.

The military was both inconsistent with real world firepower and incredibly overpowered compared to it.

I honestly don't get all the hate for that movie. Sure, it was stupid and dumb, but Jesus so are a bunch of the Japanese films. Are you seriously telling me Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah is a cinematic masterpiece?

That's not to say it wasn't a missed opportunity, of course, but I certainly don't think it's the shitstain some people seem to scream about it being.

I haven't seen all the Japanese films, but I feel like a good number of them were supposed to cheesy and silly. The American film wanted to be taken seriously. That's the difference.

The Toho films don't go out of there way to be realistic, and the way they've been presented in the west hasn't exactly been in their favor. It seems that either you get them and appreciate what they're about, or you roll your eyes and 'like' them ironically. It's obvious Devlin and Emmerich were in that second camp and thought the character had to be changed to be accepted by wider audiences. But that was a massive miscalculation on their part. Not only are they very poor filmmakers, they didn't get the character and that hurt the film even more. Sure not all the Japanese films are great, some are definitely better than others, but at least those lesser films have Godzilla looking and acting like he should, he has all his powers and abilities that people recognize and so on.

G98 was touted as being this serious, realistic take on the character, but there are countless moments throughout the film that contradict these claims. Almost all the characters are comic relief, action scenes are repeated, the attention is taken off Godzilla halfway through to focus on those lame eggs (only to have him reappear and killed again), etc.

The final part of Keith Aiken's massive Godzilla 1994 article pretty much goes into detail as to why Devlin and Emmerich were the worst possible team for the job -

While on the topic of 1998, do you think that the character of Zilla could be redeemed in someway?

The cartoon sequel to the film showed Zilla as a tougher kaiju who stood up and fought. The IDW comics show Zilla put up a MUCH better fight to Godzilla despite not doing much damage, he used cunning and agility to overcome the big green tank but that was not enough. (Although losing to Godzilla is no shame.)

Spoiler
And I read that Zilla used the scutes on his back to slit another monster's throat in the final issue of the comic, it shows a great level of tactical thinking.

I think the character has potential that the movie didn't do it justice. I am one of the few that grew up with and liked the 1998 film alongside the Japanese Godzilla. It would be nice to see Zilla and Godzilla actually work together like in the IDW comics. Also Zilla's design was really well done in the comics.

While some of them are very definitely serious, others really don't come across that way. That's fine, of course, light-hearted is all well and good. But I don't see why the American film gets criticised for being so dumb when some of the Japanese films are just as bad. Again, see Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah. That film is just a mess. An immensely entertaining mess, sure, but Jesus is it a clusterf*ck.

For the record, I'm not trying to say the '98 American Godzilla is a good film, nor am I saying the sillier Japanese ones are bad. I just think the American film takes a hell of a lot more abuse for it. At the end of the day, I thought it was dumb and fun.

Although admittedly it would suck a hell of a lot more if Jean Reno wasn't in it.

In terms of literary value, the first film is far superior but I like g98 not because it is good but because it is a fun dumb blockbuster film. If I wanted to find a meaning of life I would rather look elsewhere. G14 on the other hand isn't even a bad film, it's a broken film.

Godzilla98 made so many institutions look down right incompetent even for a movie and not in a hilarious way. Sometimes I think that was the plan... perhaps, show that man is the real monster. I mean man did way more damage than the Zilla-man did. Plus the effects, even for 1998 weren't good. The movies production itself is poor. The only quality was the Siskel and Ebert parody.

Ah still though, the movie may be terrible, it's more than watchable, late at night when nothing else is on.

I personally think Godzilla 2014 was way the hell better than most of the Godzilla movies.

Also, while Zilla mostly ran like a scared animal, there were those moments where he tricked the choppers (I have no idea how he avoided their radars) and took them out. Also the cab chasing scene.  :P

I fail to see how the two concepts are even remotely comparable. The premise for Godzilla (the original, mind you) might be farfetched but not any moreso than most sci-fi. Not to mention there was meaning behind it.

Godzilla "in hell" is silly. Utterly laughable, nonsensical juxtaposition.

Godzilla is a monster, not a superhero or a complex, layered character. Make a comic series about King Kong in hell or The Creature from the Black Lagoon or what have you and it wouldn't make any difference. It's dadaist at best (or worst).

Godzilla in a metaphoric hell is something I'd be interested in. Like a twisted dimension parallel universe sort of deal. (Which is probably the closest thing we can imagine that would be an actual hell.)

The title: Godzilla in Hell conjures images of Godzilla against a burning underground Biblical backdrop with traditional red hued devils with pitchforks prancing about. It's not like Godzilla is killed and is denied access to Heaven for being a city stomping bitch and is sent to hell for his trouble. I'm anticipating something a little more Dr. Strange like.

Might as well call it Godzilla in Dimension X. But it wouldn't have that bat-shit crazy title that is going to sell this book on that alone. Is Bob Eggleton really doing the interior art work? Because ... Holy Shiite.

I thought it was the other way around, with Kong getting Frank's electro-powers in the end.

While Godzilla is a monster I always saw him much closer to longstanding human characters like Bond, Superman, Batman, Spider-Man. etc. Not saying he's as popular or culturally relevant (as least over here), but I can't think of a classic monster character that's had as many officially licensed, sometimes out there (intentional or not) appearances. I think he's become a pop icon far different than Kong, the Harryhausen creatures, the Universal/ Hammer horrors, the Thing, Fly, Blob, etc.

It's like when people roll their eyes and say, "Another Godzilla?" I say, "Same reason there's another Bond."

They simply changed Frank to Kong. The only part they really bothered to rewrite was the island origin. They allowed the electrical power up scene at the end to remain. Weird huh?

Toho didn't abandon Frankenstein of course. The spiritual Frankenstein vs Godzilla became Frankenstein Conquers the World ... where instead of Godzilla, Frank fights Baragon.

Yes. He works on so many levels for so many different types of people. There is a Godzilla for everyone. He can be a dark serious metaphor or a super hero.

Probably the suit with the longest film run as well. First appeared in Destroy All Monsters and didn't retire until after Gigan. Also my fav as a young child. It had that living muppet charm like Empire's Yoda to me. If you weren't a kid when you were first introduced it's probably a stretch that it would appeal.

I dig the diversity of the Showa suits (and the films really) Heisei basically had the same suit with very minor tweaks. The fights too were very similar in the fact that they were basically animated beam battles after 1989.

Probably the suit with the longest film run as well. First appeared in Destroy All Monsters and didn't retire until after Gigan. Also my fav as a young child. It had that living muppet charm like Empire's Yoda to me. If you weren't a kid when you were first introduced it's probably a stretch that it would appeal.

1968 was basically the Godzilla for Toho before Kawakita's came around. You can even see its influence on the 84 design.

G14 was still a slight disappointment. 
The actual a movie's tone never got near the tone of the first few trailers. 
He did look marvelous though.  Bad ass.

Annnnd a combination of suit acting and CGI. All designed by the 90's Gamera suit designer and shot in the style of the new Attack of Titan film which impresses.

I wholeheartedly agree. When I first heard Toho was not "bowing down" to the American version as someone on Toho Kingdom heard they said that in an interview, I felt they planned to compete with Legendary and make fools out of themselves.

But they got even more immature sounding with "lol our Godzilla is bigger than Legendary's".

And someone claimed they said their G will " tower" over Legendary G... I dunno man, it sounds like a d**k measuring contest.

You watch, Legendary is gonna turn around and say "in our last film, Godzilla has consumed some radiation from the MUTOs and grown even BIGGER! Take that, Toho!"

Same here man, while it's kinda ridiculous, I am still very happy they are making another Godzilla film!  ;D

To be honest, I wouldn't mind if he is 'slightly' taller, the reason being because I love the idea of someday, Legendary G and Toho G duking it out in a helpless city. Imagine two Godzilla fighting! Oh man!

I don't want Toho G to just step on Legendary G.

Do you think that once Legendary is done with the planned trilogy, that Toho will make Legendary Godzilla a part of the Toho universe? Like they did with the 1998 Zilla? How he shows up in Final Wars and in the IDW comic books.

It would be nice to see Legendary Godzilla show up as another Godzilla. And I have a feeling he would be treated with far more respect than Zilla was in Final Wars. While Toho is still trying to outdo Legendary, they don't seem to dislike this Godzilla incarnation. It's more like a friendly rivalry lol.

Godzilla's other nickname in Japan is the God of Destruction. They really go for the antagonistic version over there, as opposed to the protagonist/ antihero Big G that's quite popular over here (as shown by G2014). It's why, among many things, GMK was the most successful Millennium film. And with Anno and Higuchi as the main creative team behind the new Toho film, known for their apocalyptic projects, it's no surprise they're talking about Godzilla this way.

As for Godzilla's height, Legendary's was only 8 meters taller than the tallest Toho versions, so I imagine it'll be something like that. Higuchi's allegedly increased the size of the live action Colossal Titan from the manga version, although I'm not sure by how much.

That's not surprising when you consider his place in Japanese culture. But it had to evolve eventually. The villain role can only work for so long. I think it's important to have a balance of both.

That's cool and all but they better learn how to composite those elements, because that's very lackluster in that department (both the commercial and the AoT trailer). Ditto the scale of the models. One big problem "suitmation" frequently has is that the models do not convey the scale they are supposed to have, because you can immediately identify the detail as big and sculptural. They should look into solving that problem.

I don't see how they reinvented him that much. G2014 falls in line with Toho's MO during the Millennium series, mention events in 54 and move on from there. Even the design is angular and spikey. It's just the Hollywood CG version of that.

As for Mothra, she's #2 after Godzilla for a reason. She has a compelling background and clashes with Godzilla character wise. If Godzilla is territorial and indifferent towards people, Mothra traditionally protects the earth and its inhabitants so there's a confrontation right there. There's a yin/ yang quality to their relationship and I hope Legendary explores that.

One of the crew members recently commented on this, sort of -

I see where he's coming from and sympathize. It doesn't come down to lack of skill, just time and money. Movies are made much faster overseas compared to Hollywood. Plus, the fact that tokusatsu effects don't aim for perfect realism is part of the aesthetic. That sculptural, handmade quality is going to be inherent. It's part of the appeal, at least for me.
Title: Re: Godzilla
Post by: OmegaZilla on Aug 11, 2015, 10:28:56 PM
I think Gamera 2 and 3 are perfect examples of what I am getting at. The angles they chose, the slow-motion photography, and the great blending between live-action and miniature photography really enhanced the scale of the creatures. Unlike most TOHO films, Gamera and foes were sculpted with very fine detail that stands up to scrutiny very solidly. Of course it's not perfect and there are a handful of dodgy shots, but it's all around solid work. A key aspect of that is as you say the time of production. Those films had a quite lengthy production time. I'm afraid this 2016 Godzilla won't benefit from that, though.

The problem does not reside in comparing it to a Hollywood production, though. That guy kind of comes across as whiny and the rebuttals are quite right. The problem is located in just making a good effect. If the effect distracts you out of the story in a negative manner and thus takes you out of the immersion, it's damaging the film itself.

The Host isn't a Hollywood production and yet its special effects (digital and practical) are perfectly integrated into the film -- and that tadpole catfish hell-flower thing in it is one of the best creatures I've ever seen in a film. And it's not Hollywood stuff. It's Korean and it was made on the equivalent of a portion of 12 million dollars. Films with very low budgets for their effects just have to find the right manner to portray them and convey them on the screen.

It's not about the what as much as it's about the how. When Rob Bottin (yeah, Hollywood this time -- but on a low budget) made the special effects for The Thing he wasn't concerned on what he could do with the effects but how he could achieve them. And many shots in The Thing are perfectly planned to conceal how a certain effect is done. That's the key; and if you permit me quoting one of my favourite films, it's about "doing what you can with what you got."

Godzilla '14 has a completely new origin. He is not a mutated dinosuar, an almost supernatural force of nature, or anything else done before. He is simply a very large animal, a survivor of the primordial world. His design is as original as can be without straying too far from the established bipedal reptile with prominent dorsal plates; and apart from the aforementioned elements he has little in common with the 2000 design except texture.

Yes, I get all that about Mothra, and none of it changes the fact the she is a gigantic plush toy that has been used to death. Hopefully, Legendary will disregard all the Toho mythos and do their own thing, particularly regarding design. A day-glo charicature will not sit well in the new G universe, so I'm not concerned.

Since its announcement G2016 has already had more time put into it than any 90s or Millennium film. They're still in preproduction and that's a very good sign. Toho used to pump these movies out in months and yet we're a year out from the new movie. That's preparation a domestic Godzilla film hasn't received in decades.

I think this is a different situation. Most Japanese FX films are done entirely 'in-house' with Japanese production companies applying the effects work (whether they're practical or digital). The Host loaned itself internationally to WETA and The Orphanage to create its creature. No Godzilla, Gamera, etc. film has really done this.

That's the worst thing they can do, and it ignores everything that makes her unique. You mention plush toy a lot but that only applies to the Heisei version.

It's not a standard of a continent-specific filmmaking perspective as much as a convergence of ideological concepts (it's analogous, not homologous; if I'm clear). It's obvious that if you are making a creature effect for your movie, you want your audience to believe that effect and be under the illusion, whilst watching it, that the trick is real. Again, The Host wasn't directed by a Hollywood director, and yet its effects have that intention behind them. If they didn't, if the director wanted 'fake-looking' effects, they wouldn't have the quality they have at all.

It's not. It's about having the right people and right talents at the helm. Gamera 2 and 3 are big evidence of that. In-house and everything and the effects look great.

Nope. It is made clear in the original that G '54 is a product of nuclear weapons, ergo, a mutant. That was intrinsic to the character.

Regarding Mothra....seriously? Her appearance hasn't deviated significantly in G movies since the '60s, in fact it improved if anything, to make her look less threadbare. You'll be wanting two diminutive Japanese chicks in Godzilla 2 next. I don't want MUTO #2 either, but Legendary need to ditch everything Toho have done and realise a Mothra that will work in the new universe. She shouldn't be a goddess, just another very large and ancient animal. The only constraints they need to observe is that she should have wings in her imago, or final, form and be called Mothra. I hope they don't even give her much similarity to a real moth.

Oh, and you try to find an accurate description of Toho's Mothra more suitable than my admittedly irreverant one.

The 54 Godzilla was simply awakened and irradiated, there was no big transformation like the Heisei version. He looked more or less the same before the blast as he does during the film. All 2014 did was show us the blast and explain that Godzilla fed on radiation from the start - in the Japanese films it was something he started to do after being irradiated.

QuoteYou'll be wanting two diminutive Japanese chicks in Godzilla 2 next.

No, but she's always been a telepathic, benevolent character with a link to humanity. They don't have to go the fairy route, but it's an important aspect of her character.

One more time, G '54 was a mutant. That is beyond a shadow of a doubt. He was not born a radioactive nightmare, humanity's nuclear technology transformed him. That was key to whole anti-nuclear subtext of the movie.

Yep, take much of the moth out of Mothra. Distance her from the ridiculous looking Toho version as far as possible. Battra would be a perfect place to start for whoever gets the design duties.

The nature of Toho Mothra may not be any more, or less, silly than other kaiju, but she sure looked a hell of a lot more absurd.

How about we call her the gargantuan, furry, lurid esper goddess with two tiny humanoid familiars? That should satisfy even you.

Do you think for the 2016 Godzilla, they might use nuclear power plants? Since Fukushima was a recent disaster and could spread a powerful message about being aware of the dangers of a nuclear meltdown.

They already did that in G14. It started with a nuclear power plant disaster!

One more time, G '54 was a mutant. That is beyond a shadow of a doubt. He was not born a radioactive nightmare, humanity's nuclear technology transformed him. That was key to whole anti-nuclear subtext of the movie.

QuoteWithin the context of the Japanese films, Godzilla's exact origins vary, but it is generally depicted as an enormous, violent, prehistoric sea monster awakened and empowered by nuclear radiation.

He was not a mutant. He was always like that. The bomb woke him up.

From what I know of Godzilla, the bomb did seem to do more than just wake him up.

I read somewhere that the texture of his skin was based on the keloid scars of Hiroshima survivors. And some people on other forums mentioned how his skin appeared "burnt".

So he may have been some unknown species of aquatic reptile, but the bomb did seem to have changed him. I doubt he would've had the atomic breath originally in the 54 film without being affected by the radiation as well as leaving lethal doses of radiation in wherever he goes.

Both the radioactive breath & the skin texture were supposed to portray the changes Godzilla suffered because of the bomb. The 1954 film, of course.

I think the best way to adapt Mothra for the Legendary series is to make her another ancient species from Godzilla's age specific to a certain region. Mothra is the last of her kind who lives on an island and worshiped by the native inhabitants. The Shobijin don't have to be miniature twin fairies, just priestesses who supposedly communicate Mothra's desires to the rest of the natives. They can even make Mothra have an egg that she protects violently since it is the last hope of her species.

This is pretty much how I imagine Mothra to fit in as well.

I remember someone else also proposing that instead of the Shobijin, there are two twin scientists who are to Mothra what Dr. Serizawa and Dr. Graham were to Godzilla.

But honestly, I like your idea more, Yellow Alien, it fits well with this universe and is a nice nod to the classic Mothra.

I picture Rodan to also be a last of his kind and a fellow alpha predator with Godzilla.

How do you imagine King Ghidorah?

That could work.  :P

Or imagine Ghidorah was to Godzilla what a hyena is to a lion.

Since King Ghidorah is seen as one of Godzilla's classic enemies and sometimes the main enemy, it would make sense to make his species relationship to Godzilla's similar to that of some of nature's most bitter natural enemies in the Savannah.

Whatever the case, I feel that Legendary will handle it pretty well since I really enjoyed the first movie.

For me, Ghidorah being a space monster is no more unbelievable than ancient primordial creatures. I would keep his original origins from Ghidrah the Three-Headed Monster and go full on extraterrestrial planet destroyer; an alpha predator on a galactic scale. Godzilla, Mothra, and Rodan will have to fight him together to protect their home.

Legendary is going for realism and a more grounded approach. I don't see how they are going to convey Godzilla, Rodan, and Mothra teaming up....especially since Mothra and possibly Rodan could be considered Godzillas possible prey items. :P

It would be like an alligator, a heron, and a....uhhhh giant giant bug teaming IMO.


Also, I imagine the primordial world they came from the be literally hell on earth. Ecosystems on the land, underground, ocean, and air.
*Giant atmospheric beasts and aerial plants that spend all their life in the air, consuming/absorbing radiation, photosynthesizing sunlight, or consuming other organisms.
*Huge Power plant and other bizzare shaped plant life or plant analogues.
*Creatures that can burrow into the mantle, with giant complex burrow systems. Maybe even a smaller species of Godzilla that has adapted to a burrowing life style.
*Big G's type of course being among the apex oceanic predators. Preying on sea life and possibly ambushing land creatures from lakes and the coast like a crocodile.

Also:
-Please don't make Rodan a giant pterosaur. Rather a creature that has pterosaur like traits the same way in that Big G2014 is an ancient creature that has traits from dinosaurs and other reptiles.
-Same with Mothra

Doesn't matter, at least to me. I'm fine with realism to a certain point, but this is still Godzilla. The monsters should have personalities; albeit done in the tasteful and believable manner that G14 did with Godzilla. I don't see how three intelligent creatures fighting off a foe bigger and stronger than them that threatens their habitat and lives that hard to accept.

David Attenborough would be a great choice too for that documentary.  :) This whole Primordial Ecosystem has a huge potential.

Yeah, now that you mention it, H.R. Giger would've created a really awe inspiring Ghidorah.

I wish they would've released that Comic Con announcement that people claimed was shown. Why waste the time and effort to make a Godzilla roaring on Monster Island just for the occasion. I doubt the Rodan, Mothra and Ghidorah shown at Comic Con (if it was shown at all and people aren't chatting bollocks to tease the world) are the final designs, they probably haven't even begun designing them yet.

http://piercetheheavens.blogspot.ca/2013/07/how-to-make-godzilla-and-pacific-rim.html?m=1

QuoteThis year, Legendary Pictures released "Pacific Rim". Next year, they will release "Godzilla". Two movies that both deal in the business of giant monsters. Fans of the genre are asking about the obvious possibility: That the two franchises meet. This is an idea Guillermo Del Toro himself has entertained, though it is worth noting he has stated there are no plans to do so at the moment, and he wonders about the differences of tone in the movies. "Godzilla" director Gareth Edwards has said the movie will be grounded and realistic compared to other Godzilla movies. "Pacific Rim" on the other hand was flashy, over the top and gave zero f**ks about realism.

I fail to see how that's true.

Godzilla might have gone for a vastly more sombre tone but trying to argue it was more realistic than Pacific Rim seems kinda daft. They're both about big monsters smashing the crap out of each other.

That would sort of be like Star Wars crossing over with Star Trek for me. The worlds are both science fiction and popular in their own right. But the style and world building of the two are too different to mix without corrupting one or the both of them.

If it had to happen I suppose a new version of Godzilla ... a home grown, Earth bon Kaiju to fight alongside the robots against the alien dimension kaiju would be plausible and in line with some of the Showa Godzilla films.

I was just thinking...

The whole climax of the first Godzilla hinges on a dillema. We created a monster through weapons of mass destruction. There is one way to defeat it, but only by using something that could be an even worse weapon of mass destruction and bring misery to the world. The worst nightmare is that people would get their hands on it and wars would get even worse.

In Destroyah, we got the new monster created by the new weapon, but does it strike anyone as odd that in all the movies, they never take the logical step of having the oxygen destroyer be used by a warring nation as a weapon? The nightmare is never realized.

Says you.

I wouldn't mind a crossover if it's done right. It doesn't have to cross with Legendary Godzilla as that could conflict with the timeline of that movie.

But Pacific Rim could have its own Godzilla.

I doubt it'd happen though, people have been waiting forever for a Gamera vs Godzilla crossover and that never came.

Legendary might have the rights to Godzilla but that doesn't mean they can do crossovers. Toho has barred IDW from any kind of crossovers with their other comics like Transformers, Star Trek, Doctor Who, Jurassic Park, Ninja Turtles, GI Joe, Ghostbusters, etc.

From what I understand Toho's Godzilla and Legendary's are considered separate, yes, at least when it comes to movies and comics. They appeared together for the PS3/4 game but that might be a different thing altogether.

That toy with the black eyes, what suit is that based on? I don't remember seeing a shark eyed Godzilla in any of the films that I've seen so far.

Could it be hinting that the 2016 one will have the terrifying abyss shark like eyes? If that's the case, that'd be really interesting.

Godzilla does seem to have borrowed some features from sharks. Take the whole spikes above water for instance, like shark fins. Also the gills on the 2014 Godzilla, I know sharks have five and Legendary has four, but they are quite shark like. And let's not forget Heisei's two rows of teeth just like sharks.

So it'd be pretty cool to see a Gojira with shark eyes. It's like the opposite of GMK's white eyes.

The original article might be jumping to conclusions. Just cause Skull Island is swapping studios doesn't mean a crossover is guaranteed. There have been a lot of hack-y articles assuming Kong/Godzilla/Pac Rim films are on Legendary's schedule.
Title: Re: Godzilla
Post by: Gilfryd on Sep 17, 2015, 07:16:50 AM
Well...
QuoteIn a twist, following Universal's decision to pass on Kong — with a budget north of $125 million — Warners is stepping in with a three-picture deal that kicks off with Kong; followed by a sequel to 2014's Godzilla, the biggest Warners hit originated by Legendary ($529 million worldwide); followed by a mashup that pits the ape against Godzilla. Warners is said to be kicking in 25 percent of budgets as well as marketing costs on the Kong films.

Now that Legendary has moved Kong, that settles a brewing argument over the script's references to Monarch, the secret government entity in Godzilla that employed the characters played by Ken Watanabe and Sally Hawkins. Obviously, the inclusion of Monarch in Kong is a move to tie the ape into a hoped-for Godzilla "universe." Warners, which held onto the right to participate in any Godzilla sequel, did not relish the idea of a Godzilla element in a Universal-backed Kong movie.

A threshold problem is that Kong supposedly is much smaller than Godzilla. That fact was not lost on Universal. "There were funny comments about him having to be the size of the Empire State Building instead of hanging off of it," says a studio insider. But a source close to Tull says Legendary is confident it can come up with a rationale to explain how Kong and Godzilla can do battle — and possibly become allies.

QuoteI wouldn't say Godzilla films address a younger audience, but a general audience open to concepts not bound by the constraints of reality, something children are better at than adults. I never saw anyone on set say, "We gotta do this for the kids." The filmmakers' mindset has always been to make Godzilla for people of any age who get it, and hopefully win new fans at the same time.

QuoteWith no prior announcement, Toho revealed that they were screening a promo reel for their latest Big G production, SHIN GODZILLA — now formally announced as GODZILLA RESURGENCE for overseas markets — at this year's annual American Film Market, which just took place in Santa Monica, California on November 4th-11th. Over the years, Toho has presented a number of their Godzilla films during the event, but this is the first time they are previewing a film — for potential sales — a half year before completion.

Judging by the skull size of Kong, his species already seems kaiju sized. Much bigger than any Kong we've seen.

There have been some pictures on Toho Kingdom that show set photos of Kong's skull. You see a man near one and it's BIIIIG. There's no way these Kongs are 60 feet tall. Their more kaiju sized.

I remember seeing another set picture somewhere, there was a man near it, not exactly next to it but near. It helps put into perspective how big the skulls are compared to a human. This is shaping up to be the biggest Kong species.

It took me a few seconds, but I dig the design.

I thought it looked ugly for the few seconds of consideration, but it hit me, this is supposed to be a monstrous and ugly beast, so in a way, they did their job right as far as I'm concerned. I look forward to seeing the rest of the design and how it plays out in the film.

QuoteOn December 9th (Japan Time), the first image of the titular monster for the highly anticipated collaboration from directors Hideaki Anno (Evangelion) and Shinji Higuchi (Attack On Titan) to be featured in GODZILLA RESURGENCE (Shin Gojira) with the Japanese release date of July 29, 2016.

While this image has not appeared on any of Toho's official sites, this "nightmare" version of the Big G was revealed to celebrated American Godzilla artists, Bob Eggleton (Famous Monsters) and Matt Frank (IDW's Godzilla), as well as myself, just recently.

Additionally, journalist Norman England, who worked on a number of the films as a set photographer, also confirmed it's authenticity: "It's the real deal, all right. I  was able to handle the suit when I was working on a project over at Toho a little over a month ago."

In my mind, it does look like the work of noted designers, Mahiro Maeda and Takayuki Takeya, whom I profiled as the rumored artist and sculptor, back on August 1st — imparted to me from sources close to the production (see link, below).

What do I think of this design? First off, it looks like one of the early maquettes sculpted by Teizo Toshimitsu for the 1954 film. Ultimately, I will reserve any final judgements until there's more to work with. Although, I have to say that a departure from the norm — but still retaining the basic Godzilla elements — is welcome.

Now, with visual effects rendering and compositing underway, it's only a matter of time before more images are forthcoming from the new film. Stay tuned to this blog for more details as they develop!

QuoteWhile this very first teaser doesn't reveal much, except some B-Roll panic scenes, a new credit attached to the film comes up during on of the intertitles: Katsuro Onoue as "Assistant Director/Visual Effects Co-ordinator.

A veteran of Toei Studio's Visual Effects Laboratory, Onoue has a lengthy list of credits, including work with Higuchi (Attack On Titan) and Anno (Evangelion 3.0), as well as working with Kenji Suzuki on  GODZILLA 2000 (1999).

QuoteToday has been a flurry of reports on the upcoming film GODZILLA RESURGENCE, including the reveal of the monster, the first teaser trailer, and now, according to Chunichi Sports, the specs on the new Big G's size! According to the headline of this article, the new King of the Monsters will stand (?) a whopping 118.5 meters tall — that's just under 389 feet! In comparison, the Legendary Pictures iteration stands 108.2 meters (355 feet). Not much, but it's still Godzilla.

QuoteThe selection of well-known arranger, composer, and music producer, Shiro Sagisu, to create the soundtrack for Toho's upcoming GODZILLA RESURGENCE, written and directed by mavericks Hideaki Anno and Shinji Higuchi, may well be the least shocking aspect of this highly-debated film. Because Sagisu has a deep connection with the Big G, which goes back before he was born.

I agree. If they have to go with another color for those possible 'exposed areas' I'd prefer an gleaming obsidian. Like a shiny black glass. I think the red would look too gimmicky and depending how it's used recall Burning Godzilla.

I wouldn't call it a gimmick. Monster fights have become a staple of the series, all but two films in the Toho series feature them. A solo film would be fine - Shinji Higuchi was an assistant under Teruyoshi Nakano for Return of Godzilla - but Higuchi and Hideaki Anno are also huge nerds and I wouldn't put it past them to feature another monster. I can definitely see them coming up with something cooler than Orga or the MUTOs.

The two versions of the original, Godzilla vs the thing,  and invasion of the astro monsters I'm happy to own again. But the rest? I can deal with raids again and terror of mechagodzilla but I really hate all monsters attack. And im really bummed out that destroy all monsters and king Kong vs Godzilla  are not included.

The rights to the Godzilla films are split up between a lot of companies so a complete boxset is unlikely to happen anytime soon.

Classic Media has Godzilla, Godzilla Raids Again, Mothra vs. Godzilla, Ghidorah the Three-Headed Monster, Invasion of Astro-Monster, All Monsters Attack and Terror of Mechagodzilla. They also have Rodan and War of the Gargantuas. Criterion licensed Godzilla from them for their release.

Universal has King Kong vs. Godzilla and King Kong Escapes. They've yet to release the original Japanese versions.

Kraken has Ebirah Horror of the Deep, Godzilla vs. Hedorah and Gigan.

Media Blasters has Destroy All Monsters and Godzilla vs. Megalon. They also have a ton of other Toho sci-fi films including The Mysterians, Varan, Matango, Atragon, Dogora, Frankenstein vs. Baragon, Latitude Zero and Space Amoeba.

Miramax finally got around to releasing Godzilla vs. Biollante.

Sony has a nice collection with Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah/ Mothra, Mechagodzilla II/ SpaceGodzilla, Destoroyah/ Megaguirus, Godzilla 1998, Godzilla 2000, GMK/ Against Mechagodzilla and Tokyo SOS/ Final Wars. They also have The H-Man, Battle in Outer Space, Mothra and the Rebirth of Mothra trilogy.

As of right now, Son of Godzilla, Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla and Return of Godzilla are the only ones needing 'homes.'

Those eyes are terrifying. That being said, this is definitely one of the more unique Godzilla designs we've seen. I'm looking forward to seeing how it looks in motion, with the appropriate lighting. It could be legitimately scary. It would be cool if they were able to pay some sort of homage to how unnerving some of those close-up shots were in the '54 original.

It looks like we have a possible explanation as to why Godzilla looks the way he does. Apparently, this look is supposedly the first of three forms with the third being more like a traditional Godzilla design!

There are a few wonky shots of him in the movie but it's still such a nice design. It was a welcome change back to basics after the more exotic Burning and Millennium designs. Honestly I was expecting something more like this - a mean retrosaur with grey skin, white fins and blue breath - for Resurgence.

I know these questions can be annoying, but I'm curious to hear everyone's thoughts. Who wins in a fight, Superman or Godzilla?
Title: Re: Godzilla
Post by: The Alien Predator on Apr 12, 2016, 02:23:52 PM
It'd depend on which Superman you're talking about.

Because in some versions, Supes has light speed reaction times whereas Godzilla tends to lumber around. Plus Superman could easily lift even the heaviest version of Godzilla (2014 one at 90,000 tons).

In some stories, Superman did ridiculous things like tow an entire star system on a giant chain.

But if you're thinking of Man of Steel Superman, then that's kind of tricky. He is just as durable as 2014 Godzilla as both took nukes to the face and survived. But both also struggled when ganged upon by their enemies (MUTOs for Godzilla and the Kryptonians for Superman).

In fact, it'd be a pretty awesome fight to see. It reminds me of the Powerpuff Girls where the three super powered girls would fight giant monsters every couple of episodes. One of the episodes featured a Godzilla parody.

I'd still give it to Superman though, because think of Superman as that flying brick that is small so Godzilla would have trouble hitting him, but he is just as strong if not stronger than Godzilla... where Godzilla would need the ground to exert momentum, Superman can push against literally nothing to exert his own momentum against Godzilla. So unless Godzilla's breath leaks Kryptonite, I don't see the big green lizard having an advantage.

I love both characters though, they are a huge part of my childhood.

How can anyone consider Goku losing to Supes?

Goku continuously gets stronger! Goku is the original Doomsday!

BTW, the new Goji looks like a Gojira version of Doomsday.

Maybe we are seeing an evil Goji? And the good Goji pops in later looking like his old giant lizard self.

It's meant to match his arms and hands of the original design from 1954. There's a rumor going around that this one is the first Godzilla that was killed by the Oxygen Destroyer. He's somehow come back to life, and is regenerating. Hence his horribly disfigured design.

After Lex Luther contaminates Godzilla's radioactive properties on a molecular level, Superman is rendered useless in the fight against the king of the monsters, leaving only one man to stand in the way of Godzilla and worldwide destruction!!!

They do look rather silly. And why are they facing up? Is he hoping to catch something?

It's meant to match his arms and hands of the original design from 1954. There's a rumor going around that this one is the first Godzilla that was killed by the Oxygen Destroyer. He's somehow come back to life, and is regenerating. Hence his horribly disfigured design.

Yeah, the look on his face was hilarious.  As to the trailer, I like Godzilla's design, but the scenes with Godzilla look a bit too casual.  Like he's going for a stroll or something.  I do like the stark vibe and yellow sulfurous background


On another note, found this today:

I get that, but funny enough, 2014 is kind of a 'meh' design in my eyes. Yeah, it's a realistic design, but Godzilla is far from anything realistic in my eyes. Which why I can accept the funkier side of things when it comes to him.

Godzilla 2014 is my favourite design too. I also liked the 1998 design as I grew up with it.

My favourite Toho designs would have to be 2000 and the new Shin Gojira one.

I hope we see the American one fight the Japanese one, or they team up to face another monster. It'd most likely be done by Toho. Maybe when Legendary is finished with their films.

Yup, they don't bother me one bit. Those movies are specifically made for children too, which is the age I was when i saw them the first time. So it's something that never bugged me. I can accept them for what they are. While I respect Goji 2014 for being the most realistic, I don't need realism when it comes to Godzilla. Hence why I'm loving the Shin-Goji puppet so much.

What killed the 2014 one for me was the very uninteresting monsters that looked too much like the Cloverfield monster when there's so many back issue monsters they could have used, the flying one could have been Rodan, maybe Anguirus for the other but they failed & created new very boring monsters you saw more often than G. If Ghidorah is not planned for the next installment of a US version than I'm done & will just stay with the Jap releases.

So, in the entire film it's actually a puppet? That's pretty cool. I don't think it was done like this for an entire G film in the past. There were some scenes with puppets but for a whole movie? That's new!

I heard something about that at the time of it's release but didn't know if it was rumor or not. Just as long as the next one has more monster madness & less extremely boring human characters. I do look forward to the eventual Kong vs Godzilla but I'm still always going to be a fan of the Japan releases more. They just have a certain charm to them the US can't seem to recreate.

I mean, Ghidrah the Three-Headed Monster has one of the dullest human storylines I've ever seen, and all for what, maybe 10 minutes of monster action?

Don't get me wrong, I have affection for it and all Godzilla films, but objectively G14 is easily one of the top 5 films in the series.

This is an interesting watch; made me like G14 even more.

How do you figure?

Too many moments you should ignore to have the story make any sort of sense.

Why did no one do anything as the first male Battra swam/digged all the way to Japan? Japan is a Earthquake heavy area. How did no one noticed a moving earthquake moving straight to that power plant? How did that monster suddenly ninja his way there?

The papa Ford got caught in the zone and was sent to the cops and put in jail. The second time they got caught because, of course, the movie is happening, they are now brought INTO the center of the zone and are not sent to the cops.

For some weird-ass reason they never interviewed the nutter telling everyone that there was some echo location happening that KEPT trying to get in until, OF COURSE, the movie story is happening and they finally listen to him.

Girl Battra was vivisected and killed while doing that. Get dropped in that nuclear waste facility and NO ONE..... NO ONE NOTICES the thing is somehow STILL alive and growing to monstrous size! How does that happen?!?!?!?!?

And the best part of the movie called Godzilla. The plan was to set off a nuke to kill the two bugs. Just the two bugs. Ford had to ask the Admiral what about Godzilla cause there IS a third monster walking around. And he Admiral basically said, "Meh, he follows them around so he will probably be in the blast area and get killed, too. " In a movie called Godzilla.... they didnt even CARE about Godzilla. Godzilla was a guest star in his own movie!

Oh, and they set off the nuke not that far off the coast so im pretty sure they screwed up a whole mess of people. The excuse with that was that Godzilla absorbed everything, but thats fan theories cause that was never explained in the movie. People were walking toward the area a nuke was set off on!


Seriously, the movies with aliens had better internal consistency than this flick.

Right: It probably was the point, as the essay points out, but it really wasn't well done. After the MUTOs wake up you could take all of the human characters out and the whole thing would resolve itself just fine.

My biggest beef was how irrelevant the big G himself was. A lack of screentime is just fine -- Alien, 9 minutes; original Godzilla, not that much more; dinosaurs in the original Jurassic Park, ~15 minutes, etc. -- but he literally spends most of the movie just chilling in the water waiting. He has zero impact on the actual plot until the last act. The MUTOs drove the entire film; Godzilla was a guest star at best.

I have to agree. When it comes to actual quality from the Godzilla movies rather than just monster fun nothing really compares to

Gojira 1954, Godzilla 1984, G. vs Biollante, GMK 2001, Godzilla 2014

These in my opinion are the four best Godzilla movies. For the most part, the others definitely have their moments but are still covered in cheese and corn.

I am really looking forward to the Japanese 2016 this Summer and the American 2017 next Summer. Also, I believe the Japanese 2016 one is a puppet/man in suit/HEAVY CGI edited combination.

I don't quite understand G-fans complaints about the characters in G14 when more than half of the Japanese Godzilla films contain boring as hell characters. I mean, Ghidrah the Three-Headed Monster has one of the dullest human storylines I've ever seen, and all for what, maybe 10 minutes of monster action?

Don't get me wrong, I have affection for it and all Godzilla films, but objectively G14 is easily one of the top 5 films in the series.

This is an interesting watch; made me like G14 even more.

I have to agree. When it comes to actual quality from the Godzilla movies rather than just monster fun nothing really compares to

May be that in japanese films the characters were not perfect. But thats dont make better the stupid characters of G2014.  ::)
>Brody's family (Why, Cranston, WHY?)  :P
>Watanabe fanboy and the other girl that noone cares  :-X
>Silly army  ???

G2014 = 5/10 and I'm being generous :-\
There's horrible Big G japanese movies, but sorry USA, yours are not better for that...   :laugh:

Just because some previous characters were bland, does not mean Ford Brody's blandness should get a free pass.

In terms of acting, nonsensical plots, and SFX. Maybe G14 should have tried for that cheesy "so bad its good" approach.

I mean, personally I love the old films and even the hesei flicks for nostalgic reasons, mostly because I was a little kid when I first watched them.
Title: Re: Godzilla
Post by: XenoZipper on May 03, 2016, 04:12:54 PM
I honestly would have preferred if they tried to go for that "so bad it's good" with 2014. It just didn't feel like a proper Godzilla movie to me. For one, he was barely in it & that was a major problem to me. He's been seen since the 50's, I don't think we need to hide him in the shadows, if one doesn't know what he looks like by now, I'd be questioning why they're even watching. But anyway, G wasn't the only problem I had with 2014 either, the acting aside from Cranston was awful in my opinion with overly boring characters that were shown way too often. At least in G: Final Wars, whenever it went to human stuff, it still stayed entertaining with all the weird crazy alien stuff going on. I dunno, maybe to me basing Godzilla in "OUR" world of reality which all movies seem to do now, doesn't work for me in the slightest. I want those crazy fantasy elements that could never work, that's half the charm. I have more excited for the new Resurgence movie than I do for a sequel to the 2014. The Jap's just do it better. In my opinion of course.

A good Godzilla movie is not a "So bad it's good" type of movie.

Examples of good Godzilla movies: Ghidorah The Three Headed Monster, Invasion Of Astro Monster, Godzilla Vs. Mothra (1964), Godzilla Vs. King Kong, Godzilla 2000, GMK, Godzilla Tokyo SOS, Godzilla Vs. Biollante, The Return Of Godzilla. etc.

None of those movies and many others fell into the "So bad it's good" set.

I'll give you the rest of the Heisei movies post 1989-1994 though, those are just terrible.

I will admit I'm a little disappoint to hear it's not going to be a guy in a suit for this new flick but I still look forward to it. He looks more like a metaphor for Fukishima this time around than just the atomic bomb.

Cause none of the Japanese films are promoted as being realistic and so on. They just make G films and that's it.


Anyway, the new look is REALLY going for the nuclear blast scared look. Those ribs showing look exactly like some of the damage i've seen Japanese people had from radiation.

I wonder how deep they are going to go with the message in this flick.

It'd be nice if any of the US versions would at least maybe try doing a Man-In-The-Suit type thing rather than just going completely fully CGI for Godzilla. I mean I didn't completely hate the 2014 movie, all humans were pretty boring & bland yes but whenever G was on screen, I was happy, it just wasn't enough & the monsters he fought were uninteresting as well. The movie just failed to be entertaining up until the last few minutes when G finally used his atomic blast. That was probably the best part of the movie for me & didn't really care about anything else. That being said, I still look forward to a sequel to it using existing Toho monsters & I'm really looking forward to this new Resurgence one as well.

I could deal with that. Now that they have the rights to some of the other Toho monsters finally, I would prefer if it WASN'T called 2 & just be a new first movie with the correct monsters from the GUniverse in it. Might as well if the new Kong movie is going to be different from the Jackson one. Legendary wants to have a Universe thing happen, gotta start fresh to have it all make more sense. Have Skull Island, a new Godzilla, have the Kong vs Godzilla & then lest end it all with a Attack On Monster Island type movie where it's just nuts ya know, All Out Monsters Attack type thing haha

The basic building blocks are all there in the film, too.

Brody: Loses his mother to the Mutos in the beginning --> grows distant from his father --> reconnects with father, only to lose him, too.

That's fertile ground to build a character on, they just didn't.

I was about to say, hopefully this is a Dawn of the POTA situation where a new director comes onboard to deliver a sequel that really outdoes the first. I liked the first film but there's definite room for improvement.

Maybe if Skull Island turns out alright Jordan Vogt-Roberts will take on Godzilla 2 followed by Godzilla vs. Kong.

Title: Re: Godzilla
Post by: genocyber on May 24, 2016, 04:21:28 PM
Potential leak of the movie from an anonymous source.

Quote>First off, KAIJU A –

>The script references this monster as very basic in design. I can not verify if what LSDJ said about its creation is true or not. However, from what I gather, the monster isn't very spectacular. It seems to be a somewhat quadrupled design and a dark olive green in color. The script references it as having a "Arrow-Shaped" head, possibly like a snake's. If what LSDJ said about its reasons of existence are true, I personally believe they could get away with recycling the GMK Baragon suit for the creature. Godzilla does fight it very early on just as his mutation is setting in. It is not a very long fight, but the monster is referenced as "Alphagon" in the script. I do not know if it is also referenced as such in LSDJ's copy. During the fight, the monster manages to hit Godzilla's jaw and something happens, either the jaw is dislocated or gets horribly maimed by its "mole-like forelimbs." Godzilla is to then release a much different roar than what we're used to, hinting that he is not in complete control of himself. At this point, Godzilla destroys "Alphagon" with his atomic ray.

>Start opening credits which includes news reports on both old atomic bomb testings and the Fukushima disaster.

>As LSDJ said, and as we have all seen, Godzilla is in a highly ravaged form. This is not a result of the Oxygen Destroyer from 1954 or anything of the sort. It is a parasite. The human characters are not aware of this until about half way through the film when, after a fierce battle with the self-defense forces (which utilizes napalm for the first time in the series excluding Megalon), Godzilla's body slumps forward. His spines begin to separate and a large gash or cut appears down it. While it is described as a "man exiting a suit", it also gives details on pieces of Godzilla's flesh falling from it in the process and gives excessive details on Godzilla's arms flattening out, as if all the bones and muscle are being pulled out of them. Godzilla is left as a skin as the new monster, called Judas, emerges.

>This name also keeps in tradition with Anno taking inspiration from Judeo Christian mythology.

>At this point, the monster is described as being humanoid with extremely lanky arms and legs. It is said to have a skull-like face. This immediately sounds like the monster Sachiel from Evangelion. It is also said to have large, bulbous red eyes and a pair of wasp-like wings. Its tongue is also long and tends to dangle from its mouth and is tipped with a pair of snapping jaws. Think Alien. The flesh is said to be black and "wet". I imagine it'll be a lot like a salamander or a frog's skin.

>At this point in the movie, Judas is standing within the remains of Godzilla and the self-defense forces have no idea what just happened. Judas flies into the air and one of the characters, which has had a due amount of time making it clear she is not religious, looks up and makes the statement "It looks like an angel."

>From a tonal standpoint, the movie completely shifts. The film starts to feel and act more like a traditional Godzilla versus a monster movie. Judas is now the focus and engages the military in much faster paced combat and dog battles over Japan. At the same time, Godzilla is regenerating. By the time he has recovered, most of the self-defense forces are gone and America is debating whether to deliver a nuclear strike to Judas (it plays a lot like a homage to the 1984 film, the first film Shinji Higuchi worked on for Toho), despite the Prime Minister's objection. Godzilla returns to life and is on a warpath directly for Judas who is now in the heart of Tokyo. The Americans try a military blockade with several lines of tanks and ground-to-ground missile launchers. Unlike other movies where Godzilla stomps and blasts them, he now walks through the attacks not even paying attention. After numerous failed blockades, the commander simply orders "Everyone and everything, get out of his way."

>It should be noted that the script now calls for this Godzilla to "look more like the original", so he won't have the mangled look he had before. He is now black with his spines being bone white. From what it reads as, he seems to be a design cross of 1954 and the Heisei Godzilla.

>When Godzilla reaches Judas in Tokyo, the new monster spots him and tries to run away. Keeping with what LSDJ has said about Godzilla using his tail more than his beam, he swats it out of the sky and breaks one of its wings. Judas falls and Godzilla begins a lengthy battle against it in which this Godzilla displays a much different fighting style, thanks to his long tail. Near the end of the fight, Godzilla begins to stomp the back of Judas' head into the ground repeatedly. After several stomps, its entire body is stated to "disintegrate into a black mass of spider-like creatures." This swarm of what I presume are babies (like how a spider can explode into a bunch of babies once hit) begin to swarm Godzilla and the surrounding area. Godzilla's flesh begins to change like it did before, implying that whatever Judas did to Godzilla originally, it is doing it again.

>The disintegrating Judas could be a reference to actual babies as a way to propagate itself or something like Destroyer breaking down into its smaller forms. We never see these before this scene happens.

>At this point, the UNITED STATES decide to use a miniature nuclear weapon on Godzilla and Judas with or without Japan's approval in order to secure the safety of the rest of the country and the world. The Japanese government only agrees with this if they're allowed to rebuild their military power (also keeping with LSDJ's sentiments of this being a key issue) so that they can take future matters into their own hands, monsters or otherwise. The strike hits Tokyo and seems to kill Godzilla and Judas, along with destroying all of Tokyo in the process.

>At this point, just before the movie ends, one of the characters is seen with documents concerning Alphagon, Judas, and Godzilla. The character closes a blue and white folder which has an "M" marked in the corner. Hinting that it could take part in the same timeline as Legendary's Godzilla.

Interesting. Thanks for the info. If this is real I'm kinda disappointed there's no mention of Rodan, Mothra & Ghidorah. I thought they acquired the rights to use them. Cool username by the way, awesome anime.

Well, that "leak" was about the 2016 Toho Reboot - It's expected to be a Godzilla-only film without other monsters ...

Legendary/Warner's sequel (meanwhile planned for 2019) is meant to include Radon, Mothra and King Ghidorah - but it's not connected to the 2016 Toho reboot ... so we are talking about two entirely different films set in two entirely different timelines, from entirely different companies  ;)

I'm well aware of these things. I am a G fan haha I was never thinking the Toho movie & Legendary's would be tied together, I wouldn't even want that to happen. I just didn't know the leak was meant for the Toho one, thought the guy was talking about the Legendary sequel which is why I brought up my initial disappointment about not seeing Mothra, Rodan & Ghidorah mentioned. If it were up to me, I wouldn't even let the US do another movie, I would just keep pumping out Toho films where he belongs.

Ok ... all's fine then  ;D

Well, the 2014 Godzilla was not that bad, I still like it - but yes, it's far away from "the best of the best", but also far away from "All Monsters Attack, Godzilla vs Megalon or Final Wars bad"  ;) So I would still like to see also other iconic monsters from Godzilla's/Toho's tokusatsu/monster universe transferred into a Hollywood picture ... the only thing what I feel about is a big mistake and just nothing more than an unnecessary cash cow milking is that Godzilla vs Kong thing ... don't get me wrong, the original 1962 Toho King Kong vs Godzilla is one of my most favorite films - but it would be just an unfitting buildup - imagine: the first film presented new creatures with the Mutos; then the 2nd film will have Godzilla fighting with King Ghidorah (one of his most formidable foes, if not THE most formidable foe ... at least his mightiest arch enemy) along with Mothra and Radon (two other great iconic monsters from that universe) ... just to end up in an unsatisfying clash with nothing more than a huge gorilla for the third one? It feels really inconsequential to me ...  ::)

It's like pitting the Predator against 2 Xenomorphs in the first film, then against another Predator, a Predalien and the Alien Queen in the second ... just to end in a fight with Bambi in the third one ...  ;D
(and with Bambi I mean the Disney one, NOT the Bambi Alien  :D )

As for more Toho films: I don't feel that necessity to pump out more and more unsatisfying "all the same formula again and again" stinkers like it happened in the end of the showa era (1972-1975), on the last two thirds of the heisei era (1991-1995) and in the whole millennium era ...  ::)
(again - don't get me wrong here, I still like several of those stinkers  ;D  but they somehow doomed the series all over the decades to become just a bland and repetitive "milk that cow as long as it breathes" feeling, even if the audience got already lost to it - the Toho executives probably missed the signs all that time)
Otherwise, I really hope, that Toho finally learned from that mistakes of the past and comes instead of with fresh ideas ... or at least stop until the series will get that lush taste of 24-hour mangled chewing gum again ...

What's so bad about that? Personally, I think it would fit much better, than pitching Godzilla and Kong up later against them in the third film (as many muggles seem to hope or at least speculate for) ...  ::)

Well, just think about this: Radon and Mothra appear each after another and wreaking havoc (why? no one knows, but it comes clear later) ... Godzilla appears, too, and fights each after another to at least calm them down for a while ... meanwhile King Ghidorah breaks free and wreaks also havoc ... so the humans figure out, that the other monsters just freaked out, because their instincts and senses tracked on his arrival ... finally, Godzilla, Radon and Mothra do the only logical move and band together, to bring down the real thread: King Ghidorah ... that's it ... easy said ... why just again sitting through another boring flick about boring people doing and talking boring stuff like with the 2014 one, until one of the monster shows up finally at all - not to mention the real fight gets its fuse just in the end and we again have to sit through another expendable human background story all the time? Better let leash them (the monsters) all-out one after another and give them enough screentime and stuff to do (destroying annoying obstacles like cities, smashing annoying military ants and fighting each other just to mark their hunting grounds) just to come to a final conclusion in the end ... classic kaiju story telling since 1964!  ;D
Will the Marvel Heroes and Transformers ridden main audience accept that? Of course it will - it's all they want to see: giant monster things with superpowers smashing everything around (including each other) and all go boom and crumble!!! --- Will the typical monster movie, kaiju/tokusatsu or Godzilla fan accept this? Stupid question! Hell, we did accept and even liked that all over the last 60 decades without question! So I see no problem with that ...  and everything should be fine with the fans, the other audience and for the producers as well, as they will get their bucks for that and can do more of this "stupid shit" we are so keen about ...  ;D
We don't need any dramatic Akira Kurosawa like samurai showdown setup for that one, so its quiet ok to put them all three into one film (wouldn't be the first time this happened AND worked fine in the end - as I said, much better than punching Kong randomly into that roster later) ...  ;)

As I said before, the only thing I hope for better not to happen is Godzilla vs Kong  ::) Kong should stay in his own universe for good ... and Godzilla should get a more formidable foe instead - no matter if a new one or from the classic Toho kaiju roster ...

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Okay, now after reading both statements you will probably ask: "If you think that classic formula became too repetitive and uninspired for the original Toho series, why this should work better for the Hollywood reboot?!"

Easy answer: Just don't expect the casual LotR/Harry Potter/Transformers/MCU/DCU/Star Wars/Whateverelsefanboystuff movie goer to give any shit about the original Toho Godzilla films ... they aren't aware of that ... they easily don't care about that ... and yes, they're probably missing much of that great and astonishing entertainment franchise! There's indeed a large potential for entertainment for them lurking in that obscure and previously undiscovered darkness! But re-packed into a modern Hollywood blockbuster with the best state-of-the-art CGI sfx it will at least introduce them to that wonderful world (along with its iconic creatures settled in there) we "true" fans discovered years or even decades ago! And for us fans, it's just nice to see all we loved about the classic Toho flicks repacked and remade into that modern Hollywood blockbuster with the aforementioned state-of-the-art-stuff and all that ... Just take the original Toho series and the Legendary reboot as two completely different things for completely different demographic and localized audiences (just as it is actually) ... while the Legendary series will introduce a completely new audience to the franchise, the fans of the original japanese series (as me and you) can expect more (and even new, fresh and unexpected) from their beloved source company (Toho) and maybe someday even the mainstream audience starts an interest into the original Toho franchise and we all can welcome them - as a child in a socialistic kindergarten (yepp, I grew up in the former GDR, stands for "German Democratic Republic") I always learned that sharing is better than reserving all for its own  ;D ... and all fractions should be fine with that for the future ...
Just remember, Godzilla and all the great stuff wrapped around (Mothra, Radon, The Mysterians, Gorath, Undersea Battleship, War of the Gargantuas etc.) was never intended to be "just for us fans", it's made for everyone!  ;) And now the door opens again for the main audience to revisit them and maybe even start to like them ... or keep ignoring them ... so or so - we, the fans, win! Even if that attempt fails, at least we fans got more stuff to enjoy ...  ;D

That's the natural thing about opinions ... they always differ one way or the other ... no need to bow out yet  ;)
It's not about smashing opinions into other's faces ... it's just for discussion and getting new points of view  :)

But at least it's just a logical thing ... if Toho would be the only company what's pumping out Godzilla films all the time, the franchise will keep just a pure fandom's matter ... and they would miss several opportunities to get more people interested into one of their major franchises ... at last the fans would suffer from it (no new opportunities gained = no new movies become made) - believe me, if there wasn't for the 2014 film, we definitely would get no Godzilla: Resurgence now ... and with that no hopes for another series of Toho sequels ... That's it ...

And I have that feeling, that most fans seem to think that ALL what Toho does is ALWAYS PURE GOLD and all others constantly fail with that ... Well, to be honest: Toho's own golden age died with Eiji Tsuburaya back in 1970 - he knew how to create astonishing worlds even within shorter production schedules and still kept the perfectionist craftsmen he always was! All what came right after was nothing more than a bleak shadow of its former self ... and so it ended prematurely in 1975 ... later in 1984 they took the opportunity and made the 1984 reboot what leaded to the heisei series ... and they made a great sequel with Godzilla vs Biollante! But after it, what followed? More of the old stuff, just packed into a new design all over again ... Sorry to say that, but it would've been better if the series had ended at its height in 1993 with Godzilla vs MechaGodzilla (as it was even initially planned) ... but no, instead they decided to milk the cow to death again (forced to an unsatisfying SpaceGodzilla, a somehow rushed and unfinished Godzilla vs Destroyer and the more or less infamous Mothra trilogy) ... and then Toho seemingly gave a shit about what Devlin and Emmerich were doing in the meantime, what finally led to their infamous franchise-raper  ::) finally, as the cat was out of the box, they were insulted and decided to make more films ... well, that was a good opportunity and it started well ... but then the bad decisions started all over again: first of it - Shuske Kaneko's GMK ... if Toho wouldn't have interfered all the time (forcing Kaneko to use Mothra and King Ghidorah the n-th time than his own idea with Anguirus and Varan; cutting his deadline what leaded to rushed production and finally to the unsatisfying second half of the film etc.) and just let him doing what he can at best, the millennium series probably would even run still today ... I was on the premiere of GMK back in 2001 in Shibuya and hell, Kaneko looked somehow pissed and finished when he was presenting the remains of his formerly great vision of that film ... after GMK the 2 hotshot stinkers with more MechaGodzilla and Mothra came and that helped nothing ... and finally the worst decision ever: engaging Ryuhei Kitamura for the 50th anniversary film (what we today know as the infamous Final Wars) ... Maybe giving the rights for Godzilla to Legendary was just another mistake ... but 2014 was not as bad as most expected and so it's a clear winner ... and there's room for more of that ... so why not? Instead of I felt that Toho just made another mistake with forcing out another own Godzilla film now, what interferes with the Legendary series ... Toho should better have waited (and Legendary better shouldn't have waited for Edwards to continue)  ;D But at least they maybe did the right decision with hiring Hideaki Anno for Resurgence? We will see ...

And yes, even as a die-hard fan you should always look even critically at your favorite franchise (even with an critical eye you can enjoy it)  ;)

I'm totally fine with it being just Toho making the films for fans. I'm NOT for Godzilla being made to cater to a wider audience. I figure if people haven't heard of G by now then screw em. There's plenty of older movies to watch to get familiar with the character. If younger kids can't stand the older effects then not my problem. I certainly don't think everything Toho does is gold but I'm not going to say Legendary did super awesome either. It was better than the 1st US attempt yea, but not by a ton. Not sure if I agree on that one being a winner. Wasn't to me. Didn't generate THAT much interest back into G. I dunno, I personally just don't care about franchises I love meeting a wider audience, I feel the same about Alien & Predator. Stuffs been around long enough.

We don't know if Ghidorah will be in G2 and all the evidence supports against something like that. they are no longer making a trilogy but a Cinematic Universe when you make a Cinematic Universe, you don't rush and unveil everything you have in just your second entry. and plus I believe Godzilla Vs. Kong isn't counting for a G3 but it's like the Avengers where the movie is it's own thing and not counting as a sequel (In the traditional movie sense of 2s and 3s) for the characters.

QuoteAnd I have that feeling, that most fans seem to think that ALL what Toho does is ALWAYS PURE GOLD and all others constantly fail with that ...
No. Trust me we don't we most certainly don't.

QuoteGODZILLA 2000 was not damage control for Toho... that's just one of those fan rumors that gets repeated over and over.

The 1992 contract between Toho and Sony gave Toho the right to make their own Godzilla films in Japan while Sony was not in production on the American film. That allowed Toho to make the 1993-1995 films. In the wake of GODZILLA's (1998) release, Sony made it clear that they would not be immediately starting work on a sequel. There was also a growing clamor among fans in Japan for the return of the classic Godzilla. Toho realized they had a window, saw there was customer demand, and decided to exercise the same contractual option that they had before. That was really all there was to it... they're doing the same thing now with WB/Legendary.

QuoteWell, just think about this: Radon and Mothra appear each after another and wreaking havoc (why? no one knows, but it comes clear later) ... Godzilla appears, too, and fights each after another to at least calm them down for a while ... meanwhile King Ghidorah breaks free and wreaks also havoc ... so the humans figure out, that the other monsters just freaked out, because their instincts and senses tracked on his arrival ... finally, Godzilla, Radon and Mothra do the only logical move and band together, to bring down the real thread: King Ghidorah ... that's it ... easy said ...
So basically just bring in the characters as nothing more than Generic monsters that pop up and destroy stuff? But than at the last second just reveal their instincts were all screwed up? That's terrible because all their previous screen time just had them be Generic Monsters with no character.

I'm probably the only Godzilla fan here not too interested in this movie, not because it looks bad or anything but rather there isn't much going for it. The Evangelion creator stops work on his last movie to make this? Godzilla is a burn victim and needs a dentist? Tanks coming back? Godzilla is bigger this time? Seems more like a retread of Return of Godzilla more than anything and if Rebuild 3.0 was any indication the humans might be smug like in the Kiryu movies, making you wish they convert to ash and cinder.

QuoteTakayuki Takeda's miniature sculpture, meant to give full realization to Mahiro Maeda's concept.

QuoteShin Gojira design principles
Collected from my rapid-fire quick translation posts.

•By all accounts, this design is truly to Anno's specifications. Takeda says he could not have achieved this design without Anno's guidance.
•The eyes are supposed to be dreadful like a human's, which they consider the most frightening.
•Also, they say, opposed to the iguana-like GINO or the grizzly-like Godzilla 2014, they wanted to make a Godzilla that has broken through biology... or something like that.
•The red coloring is meant to evoke lava. Anno requested something like "painful-looking blood or magma" That's why the redness underneath appears as though it were lava flowing under crevices on a volcanic surface.
•Apparently from the get-go, one of their design principles was "A Godzilla silhouette a person cannot enter."
•Takayuki Takeda says: "Everything Anno creates has a reason. 'He doesn't need to stay vigilant, so he doesn't need eyes,' etc. Therefore, the design also conforms to such rules. The skin's look evokes goya (bitter melon). He asked for 'skin that looks inflamed and decaying' and with random warts close to a goya. When I showed him some goya grown at my home, he said, "Yes, this, like this!" and it was decided. (lol) We also revived the coincidental folds from the original rubber suit, but it's not just homage–we also considered that, from low angles, it might look 'flabby'.

Only thing I'm iffy on is how wide his mouth is open for the atomic blast. Seems to be way too open but other than that, the rest is fine to me. Don't care if he shoots from his tail (honestly surprised that didn't happen earlier) or if the blast is a different color. We've already had blue & red. I'm still going to watch this. Whichever way it turns out, it already comes off better than the 2014 movie which isn't that hard to beat honestly. As long as G is in the movie for more than 7 mins.

Oh no I wasn't talking about the Color, it was just the way you're post was worded made it sound like he actually shot a beam from his tail.

I apologize.

I did say that but like I said, it was already brought up by someone else first. The pic of it is in that post with all the spoiler tags. Just saying I wasn't the only one to bring it up no need to apologize for anything. Sorry if I didn't spoiler tag it, didn't think I was saying anything that wasn't already brought up.

I wonder if they will use the Shin Godzilla design for future movies or have the next movie be another reboot. It would be interesting to see Shin Godzilla fight other monsters.

10 minutes and the plot wasn't that bad. I like the angle they went with him and the MUTOs being giant megafauna doing giant animal things such as hunting each other and defending territories.

I hope they show more of him in sequels though. I love his design.

The new design or the 2014 design? I like that 2014 design, it's massive! Small mouth though, the 1995 has the best eyes, nice and red. What is that 99-2000 design?, looks crazy never saw it in a movie..But yeah, the new one 2016 looks really scary coming at you so...fkin huge! Not sure if the lasers out of the tail will lessen the effect..

And damn, the mid 60's - 70's look like a complete joke compared to the 50's early 60's ones.

Yeah, the 2014 design is my favourite it's honestly the best Godzilla for me. It looks like someone actually picked up a camera and recorded this thing plowing through the city. It seems so believable despite the impossibility of a kaiju existing.

I like the 90's design too, especially the extra row of teeth. And the 99-2000 design used to be my favourite before Godzilla 2014 stomped into action.

This new Godzilla 2016 looks interesting with some cool twists to his character. He feels like a genuine monster that makes you go "WTF?" not just at his appearance, but also his very existence, like what the hell is this thing? (In a good way)

At the same time it is also drastically different compared to other Godzillas, almost 1998 Zilla kind of difference, it's a completely unique creature.
Title: Re: Godzilla
Post by: Kaltes on Aug 01, 2016, 08:48:46 PM
My favorite design is still Godzilla 2000. I like how ferocious they made him look with the sharper teeth and more aggressive face, plus the the huge spines (and the purplish color). That and I like the orange atomic ray. And the Millennium Era hands down had the best roar in my opinion.

I have a hard time picking a fav design. I really like G'85, Millenium era, G2000, I dig the new 2016 one as well. 2014 was ok I guess but the fact of it being 100% CG just bothered me, I knew it wasn't really there so it wasn't that believable to me. CG sticks out to me like a sore thumb no matter what movie its for & keeps getting more cartoony looking to me instead of more realistic but that's me. I just want to see the new movie. If you want to count creatures created from the use of G's DNA then I also really like the look of Biollante.

Will try and watch them in order until the 2016 one. Going to be a long week lol....I like the look of the 99-2000, 2001, 2014 & 2016 ones..

Not really super huge differences between G2000 & Millennium. I should have been more specific meaning the movie G2000 design & G:Final Wars. Final Wars I found to be a blast (no pun intended), lots o' monsters in that one. I haven't seen EVERY Godzilla movie but a good portion of them.

Only the 70s movies did that and Megs of course and besides it fit the very light hearted tone of the productions except for Hedorah of course. and their what helped give them their personality.

Yea like the other 2 said, its mainly the 70s era that had G being more kid friendly.

Yep exactly. That's why I can enjoy them whether they're silly or not. I'm actually going through the Heisei Gamera Trilogy right now. More seriously played out much like later G movies.
Title: Re: Godzilla
Post by: Gilfryd on Aug 04, 2016, 01:55:26 AM
I like the Showa Gamera films but the Godzilla films of the time are of a significant higher quality. Even at their silliest films like All Monsters Attack and Godzilla vs. Megalon are much stronger films (for what they are) than stuff like Gamera vs. Guiron and Gamera: Super Monster.

With the Heisei series, the opposite happened. Godzilla started out strong then sizzled out (around the time of Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah - pretty early) while the Gamera trilogy got stronger and stronger with each installment. To be fair there were only three films, but Kaneko and his team were able to capture that golden age Honda/ Tsuburaya spirit and modernize it in ways the 90s Godzilla films were never able to.

Even Gamera the Brave - which combines elements of both Showa and Heisei - is a much better film than most Millennium Godzilla films, aside from maybe GMK.

Shin Godzilla is promising because it looks to boost Godzilla to Heisei Gamera heights.

I have the opposite feeling about the Heisei series. Godzilla 84 was terrible. King Ghidorah is my favorite of the series, & features 1 of my favorite plots of any movie ever. The only film that truly disappointed in my eyes was SpaceGodzilla. Destroyah was f'n awesome!

Actually, I would say only two films from the Showa Series those being Godzilla Vs. Megalon and Gigan reached camp levels and that light-hearted tone (most of the time) is what draws me to the Showa series, as each entry was made with a lot of passion and give off a Adventure feel and a feel that no other Era in the franchise has made since.


Now I will say that despite my enjoyment of the Showa Gamera Series that series was far, far from on par with anything.

That's what I love about the Showa films, there's a lot of variety. In a way it's the tone the Millennium series tried to capture but often resorted to Heisei style anti-Godzilla military groups (Megaguirus, Kiryu, Final Wars...). There are serious Showa films, lighthearted Showa films. The films of Ishiro Honda are markedly different from those of Jun Fukuda. Motoyoshi Oda's only film (the first sequel, Godzilla Raids Again) is kind of dull but it does feature the first giant monster fight in the series and Yoshimitsu Banno's Godzilla vs. Hedorah is so weirdly experimental and wonderful. Plus his Godzilla 3D project eventually led to Legendary's reboot which led to Toho's Shin Godzilla.

Now there might even be a Godzilla anime on the way - it's a very exciting time to be a G-fan

The thing that has me most intrigued about Resurgence so far is the fact that it's the first the complete reboot of the Japanese series. They always at least acknowledged the first film, so this would make Resurgence a major break from tradition. Also, I kind of dig what I'm hearing about it being a Strangelove-esque political satire. :laugh:

Besides the 1954, 1966, the non Godzilla 1998 movie and the 2014 one, could this finally be the first Godzilla that doesn't look fake or act like a baseball team's mascot? Trailers look great. I hear it will only come out in North American cinemas for a few days in late 2016 under the name Shin Godzilla. Opening weekend in Japan was about 20 million dollars.

I've been watching a bunch of different reviews for it on youtube & for the most part it not many are saying bad about it. The things I've been hearing about Godzilla himself sound fantastic & it's something new & the amount of destruction he causes sounds like it's going to be nuts. Personally, I can't wait to see it. I only hope they translate it right when it gets released over here. As much as I like Funimation (I think they picked up the rights for its release here) I get annoyed fast of their voice actors because they all sound the same from one show to another & don't really switch it up. Too often I find myself watching a Funimation release & just saying, "hey it's that voice from that other show" & I just can't get that out of my head. I would rather watch this movie in Japanese with subtitles but that's me.

I'm watching Godzilla vs Megaguirus (2000), it's not bad at all! Liked the historical showing in the beginning showing scenes of the 1954, 1966 and 1996 attacks. Godzilla looks great in all those 3 and even better in the Godzilla vs Megaguirus movie afterwards.

Jesus f**king Christ Lord Almighty.... That practically got me aroused.

I know it sounds bad but this movie needs to leak... and some fan fluent in English and Japanese needs to provide the subtitles cause I don't know how much longer I can wait.

Yep exactly. That's why I can enjoy them whether they're silly or not. I'm actually going through the Heisei Gamera Trilogy right now. More seriously played out much like later G movies.
Quote from: Gilfryd on Aug 04, 2016, 01:55:26 AM
I like the Showa Gamera films but the Godzilla films of the time are of a significant higher quality. Even at their silliest films like All Monsters Attack and Godzilla vs. Megalon are much stronger films (for what they are) than stuff like Gamera vs. Guiron and Gamera: Super Monster.

With the Heisei series, the opposite happened. Godzilla started out strong then sizzled out (around the time of Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah - pretty early) while the Gamera trilogy got stronger and stronger with each installment. To be fair there were only three films, but Kaneko and his team were able to capture that golden age Honda/ Tsuburaya spirit and modernize it in ways the 90s Godzilla films were never able to.

Even Gamera the Brave - which combines elements of both Showa and Heisei - is a much better film than most Millennium Godzilla films, aside from maybe GMK.

Shin Godzilla is promising because it looks to boost Godzilla to Heisei Gamera heights.

I'm actually watching the Heisei Gamera trilogy for the first time. Didn't see them in the 90s & I bought a Gamera Showa/Heisei Collection bluray boxset a year or two ago. I gotta say (I haven't watched 3 yet) but Gamera 2 Attack of Legion is just awesome. Really dig this movie

The Gamera Trilogy comprises of some of the best if not the best Kaiju genre films out there for people look for a serious story with decent actors, action and of course monsters.

Out of the Godzilla films the only ones capable of surpassing or rivaling the Heisei era of Gamera, include the original 1954 film and GMK (sharing the same director from the Gamera trilogy; Kaneko). Godzilla vs Biollante and Godzilla 1985 are decent too but still contain a lot of that cheese the Godzilla Heisei films had that only worked in the Showa era where the movies were meant to be fun and campy.

The Heisei Godzilla era couldn't make up its mind whether it wanted to be dark, serious, cute, or campy and ended on a combination of the traits that proved to age poorly.

Godzilla 98 was a decent monster movie but not truly Godzilla. Godzilla 2014 was pretty good considering how little Godzilla was in it... But I like how it set up Godzilla to be this be all-end all force of nature.

I haven't seen Shin-Godzilla yet but really want to. I hope its the dark Godzilla movie I've been waiting for since the original.

What I would like to see someday is Shusuke Kaneko return to the franchise, maybe with a trilogy of his own... or even a continuation of GMK. In the original GMK script, it was meant to Varan and Anguirus fighting alongside Baragon. Not Mothra and Ghidorah. Which makes more sense since Varan, Anguirus and Baragon are all ancient dinosaur like monsters.

I've never liked calling the Showa films, even the later ones, cheesy/campy/corny because for the most part they're played completely straight, they're not looking down on anybody even when aimed at kids. It's not like the 60s Batman where they wink at the audience any chance they get and play up the ironic stupid factor. Films like Megalon, Gigan and the Zone Fighter series (in which Godzilla, Ghidorah and Gigan made guest appearances) are certainly the most outlandish the first series got but that's a byproduct of 70s Japanese sci-fi/ fantasy.

I love all eras of Godzilla whether its considered campy/cheese or not. I finished off the Gamera trilogy yesterday & it was pretty awesome. Liked the 2nd one the most of those. As for Godzilla98, I don't think I've watched that in almost 10 years now. Don't care for it as a movie. G2014 was okay when I first watched it but after multiple viewings, it's become a pretty boring movie to me that I don't have much desire to watch it that often. Nothing against G in the movie, I just hate all the human characters in it.

I think what kinda irked me about the hero thing in that movie was the blatant misdirection of the trailers and everyone who worked on the movie saying "Godzilla's going back to his roots" or "Godzilla is supposed to be terrifying in this" when in the actual movie he never retaliates towards people even in self defense and is basically treated like nature's samurai come to "restore balance."
Title: Re: Godzilla
Post by: The Alien Predator on Aug 10, 2016, 03:32:43 PM
Where do people keep getting the "he's a hero" thing from G2014?

Legendary's Godzilla and the MUTOs are giant megafauna who are doing giant animal things. Godzilla could give two shits about humanity.

He moved under the ship in Honolulu because let's face it, you move under a branch in front of you right? And some of those branches you could easily plow through. It wasn't worth Godzilla's energy to go through a ship. He's a giant wild animal, conserving energy is extremely important in the wild especially if you are just about to face off against your natural enemy.

And yet who knows how many people died in the tsunami he caused by rising?

He doesn't mind those ships following him or being around him in the same way that a shark could care less about tiny little fish sticking to its edges. Godzilla has been alive for eons, he's encountered all kinds of creatures, for all he knew, these ships could've been benevolent "cleaners" who would feed on his parasites or something like those little birds on the back of a rhino.

He didn't expect these creatures to start stinging him with explosive projectiles. He got up at the bridge, grabbed it to hold on for balance. But the pesky mosquito bites kept pissing him off and he rams his body mass through the bridge killing who knows how many army personnel.

Godzilla hardly noticed humans. At the end when he looks at Ford, it's like you laying on the ground and suddenly noticing a beetle staring back at you, it's that exact scenario, it's not Godzilla going "oh look, this tiny sentient creature just blew up that MUTO nest, best friends forever!" No, it's him going "huh? Look an ant!"

The bit at the end is him merely walking back towards his home. He is tired as f**k, and the last thing he wants to do is go on a completely senseless rampage. He is in a completely new territory, the world has changed far too much and he is probably confused out of his mind at these new giant structures (buildings) around him as he has never seen them before, and last time he saw buildings, they weren't tall sky scrapers bigger than him. (If you consider Godzilla: Awakening canon)

It's humans who are anthropomorphising him in the film (as are many fans it appears) by saying "hero!"

The novel apparently states that the reason humans were clapping at the end was not only because Godzilla killed the MUTOs, but because he was going away and leaving them alone. I think that makes more sense. You'd feel very grateful too if an Alpha Predator killed its opponents who threaten your home, and then just leaves you alone and heads back to its home right?  ;D

It's like humans and cats actually. Egyptians respected and revered cats so much because they were the predators of pests such as rats who would contaminate and damage crops.

So Godzilla is the cat in this scenario, he is respected and thanked for getting rid of a far deadlier problem, the MUTOs who ironically f**k like rats.

I really loved the 2014 Godzilla. Yes, there's a case to be made for misleading its audience during promotion, but I liked the direction the film took. I thought it was well shot. It was ambitious. It was grandiose. It arguably bit off more than it could chew, but in my eyes, the only thing that held it back from true greatness was wooden characters & dialogue. Still, how much stock do we ever put in such things when critiquing Godzilla films? I liked that Godzilla was indifferent to humanity & I thought he kicked ass.

Anyways, I dropped by to ask if anyone had seen an 80's film called One Crazy Summer. I saw it last night as part of a double feature at a Drive-In. Anyways, it's a so-so movie, but features this wonderful Godzilla bit:

Godzilla is a highly flexible character. You can't just go "Godzilla should be this/that" because he has been so many things. Some of you make it seem like G2014 committed the ultimate taboo by being even slightly "heroic" when there have been far worse from none other than Toho.

Toho's Godzilla ranges from monster, anti-hero, hero to full blown friend of children Gamera style. In Terror of Mechagodzilla, there's a scene where a kid screams as a kaiju rampages and literally right after the scream - GOJIRA comes to save the day! Dan dan danananaaaaa!

Come on guys, G2014 was NOWHERE near that level of friendliness or heroic-ness. He was simply oblivious to us and was protecting his territory like literally every single animal on this world. So a cat is now a hero for killing a shrew that was about to eat a worm?

Saving us was the side-effect of his actions. Did he fight for us? No, did he fight for this world? Hmmm.. depends, did he fight for his territory? Yes...

Action = Reaction.

Godzilla's territory = huge chunks of the planet (if not the entire world itself.)

Godzilla fights for his territory and wins = Earth is saved as a consequence hence we are saved.

Is that heroic? No. Godzilla was killing for purely selfish reasons. If the MUTOs reproduced, HE would be beyond f**ked. Did we all forget that skeleton at the beginning of the film? That'd be him if he didn't get off his scaly butt from the Marianna Trench and do something about it lol.

A heroic action is when a self aware and thinking animal like a human being decides to go and save someone else in a truly altruistic fashion. This Godzilla being a giant reptile animal probably belonging to a very solitary and aggressively territorial species would have absolutely no concept of "I wanna go and save someone's life today."

It's fine if this is not your type of Godzilla. I like it because I love animals and nature, so a very natural and animalistic Godzilla is my dream come true. There's plenty of evil incarnate interpretations of him and I am sure there's more to come from Toho. And who knows? Legendary Godzilla could snap at us in the sequels, animals do have emotions afterall.

I have been wondering this about Legendary's Godzilla.

Seeing as he is a creature that feeds off of radiation, and yet has a mouth filled with predatory sharp teeth and also has claws on his hands.

Does he supplement his radiation diet with meat? We don't know if he ate other giant monsters in his ecosystem, but he probably did as their radioactive meat would be highly nutritional not only providing radiation but other things flesh would provide.

But in this day and age, there probably aren't that many MUTOs to eat. Would he prey on Blue Whales? That'd actually be interesting to see. Or a Sperm Whale.

Like this comic page shows.

I agree with you there. I used to watch a lot of anime in English dubs & over the years began to really hate them & only watch them in Jap language now. I hope ShinG is in Jap but I've heard Funimation picked up rights to release it here which tells me most likely going to be dubbed for theater release. Probably have to wait until the bluray to watch the proper version. Hopefully I'm wrong on that. I just did that with the Gamera trilogy & watched all 3 in Jap. I tried one out in English for just a few seconds to see how the dub was & it was awful.

I personally love the design, it feels very natural.

I enjoyed the script. It seems that Gamera may have borrowed from the idea of making the giant turtle be created by an ancient civilization.

Because the original idea of the 1998 film had Godzilla be a creation by an ancient civilization which lived on Earth over 66 million years ago. They created Godzilla by splicing several dinosaur genes together to create a weapon to repel the Gryphon and other alien kaiju that would try to invade Earth.

And they used some kind of sedative to keep Godzilla under control. At some point in the plot after his capture, humans attach this to Godzilla which prevents him from using his atomic breath and this gave the Gryphon an advantage.

This reminds me of how in the novel of the 2014 film, it states that the MUTO's EMP interfered with the biology that allows Godzilla to spew his atomic breath hence why he didn't use it that much (but used it very frequently in the prequel comic against the Shinomura kaiju)

Gamera always has worked better as hero, and Godzilla as destroyer.
Godzilla = Hiroshima Bomb = Evil (metaphor)
Gamera could not win as evil icon against Godzilla, for that reason it was changed.  A Guardian.





OMG Shin GODZILLA is OP  :o :o :o :o :o :o :o

The Winston design is pretty great, but I prefer Godzilla not be green. And since it got brought up, how do Godzilla fans feel about them capturing Godzilla alive in that script. That seems about as bad as killing him with missiles.

He got captured because of the alien sedatives that the civilization who created him used, humans exploited that weakness. I think, either that or the Gryphon weakened him enough to knock him unconscious (due to the sedatives keeping him weak). It's been a while since I read the script. He does wake up and escape.

I like where they kept him, in some massive stadium somewhere because they couldn't find a big enough place to store him. Although this Godzilla was in the 200 something feet range, so between the Showa and Heisei heights.

Not really if the Japanese can build giant 120-Meter Mechas in a year than capturing a weakened Godzilla should be simple.

And plus they've already captured monsters and contained them before in the Series with the Monster Land and Island concept, and it's certainly nowhere near the missile thing.

Dig this trailer but at the same time, I think maybe it shows off some stuff that should be kept for seeing the movie. I honestly hate most US trailers for that reason of showing too much tnese days & it's usually all the best parts now. Regardless, I want this damn movie to get over here now.

Yeah, a treatment was written by Tab Murphy. There was actually an even earlier attempt at an American Godzilla in the 80s that Steve Miner would have directed in 3D.

Here's Tad Murphy's proposed story treatment for Godzilla 2. Godzilla has his atomic breath and fights an insectoid monster called the Queen Bitch. She's somewhat similar to the Queen Bee from Godzilla: The Series and future Godzilla foe Megaguirus.

Also, the first in a series of Toho Kingdom article/blogs on Godzilla's many designs...
QuoteSpanning a legacy of over 60 years, Godzilla has seen just as many changes to his design as he has seen movie appearances. From the most subtle details on the suits to the Japanese namings and meanings behind them, Godzilla: Through the Ages will take an in-depth look at the many iterations of the famous monster. In this article, Godzilla's debut appearance in the 1954 classic to his look in Son of Godzilla (1966) will be covered.

Agreed Kaltes. Depending on how the scene in the movie plays out, it's seems kinda haunting to me which I really like. Hoping what I'm envisioning in my head is the way it happens haha All the footage I've seen so far has been fantastic to my eyes though I still wish I stayed away from some of it so that way most of the stuff I'm looking forward to the most would have been unexpected. I never get that feeling from movies anymore from trailers showing to much & watching the movie becomes a game of waiting for the parts you saw in the trailer haha I'm staying completely away from trailers from now on so I can watch things fresh.

TOHO'S 'GODZILLA: RESURGENCE' SCHEDULED FOR U. S. THEATERS
One Week Run
Posted by Nicole Bunge on August 31, 2016 @ 3:21 pm CT

http://icv2.com/articles/news/view/35405/tohos-godzilla-resurgence-scheduled-u-s-theaters

Funimation Entertainment will release TOHO's Godzilla: Resurgence (Shin Godzilla) into U.S. theaters October 11 – 18. Funimation announced plans for the U.S. theatrical run in July (see "TOHO's 'Godzilla Resurgence' Gets U.S. Release").
ANN reported that the Fandango ticketing website had unveiled the American theatrical poster, which also listed the dates. The film will be shown in IMAX, MX4D and 4DX.

The film was extremely popular in Japan. It has sold 3.6 million tickets and earned 5.3 billion yen ($51.63 million U.S.) so far. The film opened on July 29 on 441 screens, and topped the Japanese box office for two weeks straight.  It was #2 for the third and fourth weeks, and finally fell to #3 in the fifth.

The current plot synopsis on Fandango reads: A massive, gilled monster emerges from the deep and begins tearing through Tokyo, leaving nothing but destruction in its wake. A rag-tag team of volunteers cuts through a web of red tape to uncover the monster's weakness.

Only a week run? That's kinda lame. I better hope I'm not busy during that week to catch it. I'd prefer to see SHIN over Resurgence as I'm sure it'll dubbed & hopefully not by the same voices I hear in every Funimation anime release but whatever, I just want to see the damn movie & I hope Funimation doesn't add things to try to make it appeal to the American audience more like with the original '54. I have a feeling it's going to be a hit with the hardcore G fans like myself but I don't think so much for the average movie goer. I feel they're going to compare the 2014 movie to it too much. Hope I'm wrong.

It's a great piece of music definitely. I gotta stop watching reviews on Shin, it's just makes me more excited the more I hear.

After doing some research it seems I can not find any information on whether I'm going to get Shin G in Canada. As usual we get screwed over. I'll have to wait for a download until the bluray comes sometime next year.

Yep no BS there that is apparently the FINAL shot of the movie as the credits start to roll. I dunno if it means Godzilla is able to reproduce itself asexually or if maybe he was absorbing people during his rampage & that's the result who knows really. I don't know anything about the director of the movie but from what I've heard he's really into his symbolism & things like that so I think this may be a movie you're going to have to use your brain a little more than the average bear. It's not going to be a dumb summer popcorn flick that's for sure.

Well from what I've heard so far, Godzilla isn't even 1 creature in this movie anyway but millions of microbes that have sort of bonded together to make 1 entity. Say if like millions of ants came together to create what looked like 1 giant ant but in reality it's really millions of them together. And if you blow off a leg of said ant, you'd see it as all the little ones again until they could form back together to the larger entity. For all we know depending on how the movie goes, that could just be showing 1 of millions that were banded together to create Godzilla. We simply won't know until we see the movie & even then I hear it's not even explained but just something you put your own thought towards the meaning.

Agreed. I've been a long time fan and am still digging the new approach. Sometimes change sucks for a lot of things but this time around it seems so out there that it's drawing me to it. I think this is the 31st Toho G film, I could be wrong so don't quote me on that.

I may be a little late to the party on this but has anyone seen the recent Philippines trailer? It seems to have been removed from Youtube other than getting to see it through one of those stupid "reaction" channels. Mostly shows the same stuff we've seen already in trailers but there's English in the trailer showing it's definitely going to be dubbed which kinda saddens me a little bit but hopefully the actual bluray will have the option of Jap Audio/Eng Subs.

Lucky! I hope we get it here in Canada.

Yeah, let me know if you hear anything Negatron. I really want to go see this!

For the Philipinno trailer, not sure, it was a nice trailer for sure, saw it a week or 2 ago I believe.

Which part of Canada are you in? If it does get released over here, I'm guessing it's only going to be in a very few select provinces/bigger cities like where I am in BC, I would assume in Vancouver & then say in Ontario, probably Toronto. I don't think it's going to get a wide release here but hopefully I'm wrong. I just haven't found any info yet on whether if it is. So far seems like just select US places. Me and you may have to resort to hitting up the "torrent theater" once it hits US while we wait for the bluray.

Extra! Extra! New info on the US/Canada release! Read all about it!

I just came across this. Looks like Canada is getting it too though I've yet to click the ticket links to see which areas & quite possibly in Jap with English subtitles going off what the poster pic says on the page  :)

Ah good. I'm sure we'll see it in the theater. If not, I use Kodi, straight to the TV.

Cool, let me check your link! I hope it's in Japanese with small subtitles.

In GMK there's a scene where a man attempts to hang himself. In a forest. At Mount Fuji.

The Aokigahara Forest is at Mount Fuji. It's Japan's most popular destination to commit suicide (and I think the world's second most popular suicide destination).

The Guardian Monsters were more or less stated to absorb souls...and King Ghidorah was sleeping there.

King Ghidorah was f**king absorbing the souls of people who committed suicide there.

And thus Ghidorah is super bad ass! Easily my favorite kaiju next to G. I'm really hoping to see an updated Ghidorah in a future movie whether from Toho or another American one.

I'm not big on either title, to be honest. Resurgence reminds me too much of the ID4 sequel, and Shin Godzilla just makes me wonder what's so special about his shins.

Yeah, I know that's not what it means. I just can't help but make the connection.

Shin Godzilla I have no problem with. It's the Resurgence title I don't like as yea like previously mentioned, it's too close to the latest Independence Day garbage. Unfortunately I did a little research & it looks like the closest theater to me that's getting the movie is an 8 hour drive away from me so it looks like a definite not hitting the theater to see it & just waiting for it to appear in the "torrent theater" instead. Really too bad. I wanted to experience this on the big screen.

They will add more theatres soon it said when I put in my postal code. There's no way it won't play in Vancouver. Wait 2 more weeks before taking out Negatronis Prime. lol

It is playing in Vancouver I already checked but that's the place that's an 8 hour drive from me, I don't live there anymore. When I put in my area in the search is just straight up says no theaters in that area getting it which doesn't surprise me. I live in a small town that doesn't even have a theater chain here, it's just a local no-name theater nor is it playing in the town next to me that's 45mins away so yea I don't think it's coming near me dude. Negatronis now? For someone that says they hate Transformers, you know names better than I expect haha Anyway, the whole name thing is getting kinda old & used up now. Loses it flavor when it's used & said a bunch haha

I'm jealous of the rest of you that seem to be getting it at least fairly close. One of the few times I wish I lived in the US as I figured it was going to be very select theaters in Canada.

Was watching that one last week & found it kind of amusing how much the scene at the plant when the 3 separate Destoroyah parts attack the police was similar to the processing station in Aliens. The MP's even had a motion tracker, Destoroyah even has a 2nd mouth that shoots out I mean come on, the director & writer were obvious Aliens fans on that one haha Great movie though. Back to the figures, I really want the 1st '89 one, Shin, Destoroyah & Super MechaGodzilla. Thrown in King Ghidorah & I wouldn't need another G figure. No I take that back, I wouldn't be content without a Mothra & Rodan as well.

Couldn't agree more with you there! Honestly I think all toy figures are overpriced these days. I don't even like paying the between $30-$40 for just a Neca Alien figures anymore (that's what they go for in my neck of the woods each). Hell, just to buy stuff from the 80s when I was a kid is ridiculous to try to get back now a days. I liked Dino-Riders a lot when I was a kid but there's no way in hell I'm paying $1000 for that motorized T-Rex. Lately, I try not to look up too many toys because I know I'm just never going to acquire what I'm looking for. If only my dad hadn't sold most of my stuff in a garage sale without my knowledge, I would still have that insane toy collection that I used to have. Now I have to waste my money & time tracking down the things my dad sold for more money than it costed back in the day & I know for certain, a lot more than what my dad sold them for. If you can't tell, I still resent my dad a little bit for doing that. Granted this was many many moons ago now that happened but it still pisses me off to think about what I lost.

Not sure if this is new to any of you guys but it is to me as I haven't heard it mentioned in other reviews I've watched but I've heard the apparent scene where we see Eelzilla turn into Turkeyzilla is done in a manner not unlike how tarantula's molt. So I guess Turkeyzilla bursts out of Eelzilla's skin. I really hope that true, the way I'm picturing it in my head is awesome looking. Goddamn I want this movie in my hands so badly right now.

Damn between 18-30 seems a lot more reasonable. I live in British Columbia, Canada. For some reason we seem to get the shaft on prices for a lot of things out here even between the other provinces in Canada. Hell, we still have the lowest minimum wage here in BC compared to the rest of Canada. As much as I love it here, I'm kinda getting sick of the high prices for everything. Local stores can be bad here too as they like to hike the prices up at least an extra $10 from what you'd find online. The last batch of Neca figures I got were the Genocide double pack & that ran me just a little over 60 bucks buying from Amazon. Our Amazon sucks too especially if you compare the prices for the same item on the US Amazon. A $10 movie in the US will be costing us in the $20 range. Stupid shit if you ask me. Maybe I need to leave BC & move somewhere else.

Not sure if this is new to any of you guys but it is to me as I haven't heard it mentioned in other reviews I've watched but I've heard the apparent scene where we see Eelzilla turn into Turkeyzilla is done in a manner not unlike how tarantula's molt. So I guess Turkeyzilla bursts out of Eelzilla's skin. I really hope that true, the way I'm picturing it in my head is awesome looking. Goddamn I want this movie in my hands so badly right now.
[close]

I heard something similar to that as well. I just want September to hurry up and end.

You and me both dude haha Even though I won't get to hit it in theaters, I at least know it won't be too long now before it hits the torrent theater. From everything I've heard about this I'm pretty sure I'm not going to be let down in the slightest.

Hey Xenozipper, check for your listing here:

I found mine 7pm on Wednesday October 19 and Monday October 24, just one showing at 7pm.

http://www.cineplex.com/search-2015?search-query=godzilla

I'm getting nothing showing up for my area at all. Quesnel (where I live), Prince George (next town over) or for Vancouver (8 hours away from me)


I tweeted (never thought I'd say that word) Funimation North America on when they will update their website with Canadian theater listings and they answered this right away:

"Hello! Thanks for reaching out, but unfortunately we're actually still waiting on Canadian theaters to confirm with us before we can start ticket pre-sale. As soon as it's up and running, we'll let everyone know!"

Hopefully it's added in more theaters because it's barely showing anywhere in my area too..I could buy tickets now though, but I'll wait, I want it closer.

Decided to record myself doing a guitar cover of the main Godzilla Theme song today. I apologize that my guitar audio drops in & out at times. I guess  my webcam doesn't like sustained notes or my guitar but whatever, it is what it is..

It would certainly be nice if it actually comes closer to me but knowing the area that I live in, the closest it's going to come to me is going to be an 8 hour drive & that's just not practical at all. Cool they got back to you though, I'm not on Twitter but I've got their page liked on FB & see their daily Godzilla posts.

Thanks man :) Sounds a hell of a lot better when my guitar audio isn't dropping out haha Plus that was my first time using my amp in a year or so. I've been spoiled by using VSTs when recording music which sounds way better than my amp setup. I'll get around to making that metal version I mentioned someday. Just need to program some drums for it to how I want it to go. I do play a lot better than that though. Vid kinda makes me look like an intermediate player but I've been playing for geez, I dunno close to 20 or 21 years now at least.

Damn! That's pretty nice! Loving the new purple color to him this time around. Certainly doesn't always have to stay blue or reddish orange. If they decide to do a sequel to this one & bring in other monsters like Mothra or Rodan or someone, I'm curious as to how they'll go about explaining how they came to be or if it's just going to stick to the original ideas of like Mothra being a guardian of for Earth and such. I really hope one of the Toho monsters makes it into the sequel of the 2014 G movie as well. That's one aspect that killed the 2014 one for me aside from the major lack of Godzilla was 2 completely uninteresting & uninspiring looking monsters that I couldn't care less about. They just looked like Cloverfield monster clones to me which sad to say, that thing was even more interesting than the Mutos to me. Aw man, can you picture Destoroyah being rendered for the 2014 Universe? Be awesome to see. Anguirus too especially when he goes into spike ball mode & rolls.

Oh before I forget I did want to ask, how do you post pictures like that instead of having them as an attachment to click to see the full image? 99% of the pictures I have are on my computer so the little image icon won't let me post them in that part. I have to do them as attachments. I'm guessing what you're doing is putting in a link from a website? I'm kind of a newb when it comes to message boards & these kind of things. Not very tech savvy. I've never even used an Iphone or an Ipad before. My phone is so old school it doesn't even go on the net haha

Ok cool thanks man. My main prob in the past was the pics I posted were just coming from my computer so I didn't have a URL link to play with. I just gotta keep in mind that if I'm posting a picture I took with my own camera that I should upload it to my facebook or something first so I have a URL to play with. Thanks again man. 16 more days to go! I'm equally excited that the new Phantasm movie is coming out even quicker. Oct.7th for that one but it's getting an even smaller theater release than Shin Godzilla so there's definitely no chances of seeing that one in theater in my area.

Same here. If he ends up being a man made creation or something along those lines I'll be very disappointed. Even the one Godzilla flick where Ghidorah was fighting on the side of Earth (Destroy All Monsters I think) was really weird to me & didn't dig that aspect too much. He's gotta be alien. Monster Zero man!

This is also a pretty rad drawing I came across online of the Shin Godzilla evolution..

And for Canadians like myself, Funimation just released on their Facebook page that Shin Godzilla will only be playing in select theaters on Oct.12, 19 & 24th. And sadly it's still not playing any closer to me than an 8 hour drive away. Sucks because it's playing in 4 different theaters in the Vancouver area but yea like I said, not practical for me to drive 8 hours in to see it.

That is actually my biggest worry for the english dub. While it's great Funimation is pumping out lots of anime, I do have to say I absolutely hate their english dub cast. They sound the same in every damn show they do and I don't want to hear those familiar voices in a Godzilla flick at all. I'll be watching in Jap language if I can.

I mostly agree, I wouldn't say I think it's one hundred percent Japanese in feeling, but it does feel like a proper Godzilla film overall.

Yea I have to disagree with that. I didn't get a Japanese feel whatsoever from the 2014 movie. For a 2nd American attempt they did an ok job but didn't quite nail it. Still has the worst human characters in all Godzilla flicks.

I know how you feel man which is why it frustrates me greatly that I have no chance of seeing it until a torrent pops out. Godzilla movies are an event for me as well. This is bigger to me than Star Wars & I'm a pretty big nut for that stuff too. Hell, I even took a Godzilla figure with me to the theater when G2014 came out. Would have done the same for Shin if the option was there but this severely limited Canadian release really screws me out of seeing it in theater anyway.

Hot damn, this film! Surprised the theater we went to was packed, we even got the film sold-out.

And your report on the film?

Tomorrow...

This isn't just a film for me...this is an event.

I know how you feel man which is why it frustrates me greatly that I have no chance of seeing it until a torrent pops out. Godzilla movies are an event for me as well. This is bigger to me than Star Wars & I'm a pretty big nut for that stuff too. Hell, I even took a Godzilla figure with me to the theater when G2014 came out. Would have done the same for Shin if the option was there but this severely limited Canadian release really screws me out of seeing it in theater anyway. Sorry, I'm just bitter about it not being near me when I've been waiting so long to see it :P
I'd definitely put it in my top 10 Godzilla films. Really didn't know what to expect going in (minus a few things that were spoiled for me)! Yeah this design is disturbing on the big screen.

So far several people have told me their theaters were packed, one friend told me he felt lucky to even get a seat. I'm probably gonna try to get my theater early so I can grab a good seat. Don't wanna be stuck in the front row with a sore neck and headache thirty minutes in.

My thoughts on Shin Godzilla -
Spoiler
First I'd like to say the theatre was packed and it was interesting to pick up on reactions during certain scenes. The Toho logo, Ifukube themes, retro sound effects and comedic bits stirred the crowd but during tenser moments it was completely quiet. In the end you can't make everyone happy, but you could tell the audience was absolutely engrossed by the whole experience. So that was cool.

So onto the review - I thought it was really great! The first chunk of the movie, before Godzilla goes into hibernation after using his atomic breath (and what a scene that is!), moves at a swift, enthralling pace. After that, things slow down a bit, but it's so satisfying to see the main character and his band of misfits succeed using ingenuity and science to save the day (albeit perhaps temporarily).

Random bullet points -
- I don't see how the movie is some rightwing love letter to Shinzo Abe when the film's prime minister is depicted as an indecisive, incompetent nitwit who's blown up in his escape helicopter along with most of his similarly old-fashioned and needlessly bureaucratic colleagues. I think some are misplacing Anno and Higuchi's otaku-like love of military hardware (and there's a lot featured here) for any kind of militaristic edge.
- Satomi Ishihara's English speaking abilities are perfectly acceptable for a movie of this kind... I don't know what people were expecting. If you want truly horrid English, go watch some of the Heisei movies (especially Biollante).
- There are lots of subtitles to keep up with, but I don't remember anyone in particular saying explicitly that Godzilla 'reproduces asexually' as in laying eggs like the 98 version. The explanation given was more akin to Dogora, Frankenstein, the Gargantuas, Hedorah, etc. meaning if a piece of Godzilla happened to fall off (say, during a wrongheaded military attack), then more Godzillas were bound to happen.
- I thought this was a really cool, freaky, smart, modern take on Godzilla, and a nice counter to Legendary's version (which I liked too). Depicting him as a biologically immortal, living god was quite neat, and I daresay in keeping with the character's nuclear heart.
- Ending theory - If the film was trying to depict Godzilla as a living god, then maybe the mysterious petrified tail creatures were his way of trying to recreate man in his superior image. I don't know, but it's fun to think about, and there's a lot to think about in this movie.

Okay, one last thing. Maybe it's hitting me a little too late, but it's amazing to me how Shin Godzilla cranks both the gills and Ifukube themes up to 11 after people complained about the use/lack of those in Godzilla 2014.

I saw the movie. It was magnificent, thoughts in the spoilers.

Spoiler
Tonight, a dream was fulfilled. I saw a landmark event in my life.

...This movie was incredible to see. From start to finish. It was beautiful, tragic, horrifying...I was awestruck.

I'll just list out some key points that stood out to me.

-I was pleasantly surprised by how much I understood the political aspects of it, and make no mistake, it is a political satire. I thought I might not understand it because I'm not Japanese but I found it to be universal. Many of the things in this are just as relatable to my country as it is there. Plus it was interesting to see a foreign point of view on America (that isn't blind praise).

-I greatly enjoy the callbacks to the original movies, it never once felt out of place. Including classic Toho sound effects.

-Hearing the 1954 roars and classic footsteps was wonderful.

-The CGI and puppetry was excellent, some of the best in the franchise. Granted some of the CGI was a tad dodgy, but only once or twice I thought.

-Godzilla himself was nothing short of awe inspiring, everything about him really. I'm one hundred percent happy with all the new abilities and origin they gave him.

-The destruction scene where Godzilla uses his atomic ray for the first time was a masterpiece in and of itself. The visuals combined with the heartrendingly beautiful Who Will Know (Tragedy) honestly made my eyes well up.


This movie genuinely satisfied me in more ways than I would've guessed, the wait was very much worth it. In a way I've waited for this movie my whole life, and it perfectly delivered. A cinematic experience I will never forget.

Wow! Now you got me super pumped & excited for when I finally do get to see it!

Spoiler
I can see what you mean from trailers about how the political stuff could be universally relatable. No matter where Godzilla showed up I could see the governments still acting the same way of having no idea what to do about something so indestructible.

And man, the way you describe the atomic breath scene tells me that I will tear up like I do during Star Wars word crawls haha I even had a little tear for when G did his first breath in 2014. The sound of the build up in the theater just had my hairs standing up and I see no different happening for Shin.

I do have to ask because I hear a lot of mixed things. How was Eelzilla or form 2, whatever you want to call it? I heard while it does look decent in spots, that a lot of people laughed at it thinking it was silly. Disappoints me to hear that because I really like that design. Hell, even if a giant Kermit muppet was barreling through the streets, damn right I'd be terrified and not laughing too much. Man I can't wait to see this! Honestly more stoked for this than I am for Rogue One & Covenant combined.

Spoiler
I thought form 2 was surprisingly effective, the only shot I thought it looked a bit silly was when you first see the face but other than that it worked really well. It was kinda disturbing seeing it literally shove anything in its way aside and the moment it clambers up onto the building to crush it...

Form 3 we don't see much, but it was pretty cool too. Especially hearing the classic 1954 roars.

Thanks for the review. I will go see it at the cinema next Wednesday than since I have some work to do in the area! Plus it's the 2nd and last showing, hopefully there's tickets still available. Was your theater full?

No, my theater wasn't full, though that probably because it's the last night it was playing in my state, but there were some people there. Yeah, there were some moments that were pretty scary.

Which I'll admit is very possible it was meant jokingly but yea that's one of my huge pet peeves as well. I also might be a little too passionate over the things I'm into so it's easy to set me in rage just by saying something like that because I am the huge fan I claim myself to be. Though me and him don't see eye to eye on a lot of things so it's hard for me to tell through text if it's joking or not. So in the case if he is joking, then Nostromo, I apologize for that. That's the only thing that triggers me is when my fandom is challenged.

Oh god, youtube drama lol don't even get me started on that & the over abundance of channels based on drama. Tons of people all talking about the same twitter fights, it's ridiculous. Sad thing is, they make mad money doing it too. Just to basically read off twitter or reddit & bang, kid makes almost 100G a month and for what? Doing something anyone else can do themselves. Makes no sense to me. I wish youtube would go back to people making interesting original content again. My own channel on there is no better. I mostly play old school video games & sometimes do the odd movie or comic review but it's nothing special or nothing nobody else can do themselves so I don't monotize my videos. Not an honest buck in my opinion.

I'm shocked that a torrent still hasn't leaked even having been released in US now. I've never had a movie be so evading from me ever.

On a different note but still G related, been back to playing the latest video game lately. While I do have problems with the game mainly being you just repeat the same levels and fight the same kaiju over and over again just to level up and half the time a monster I need to evolve something hardly ever shows up, I don't mind the game. I only have the PS3 version which from what I've heard has half the monsters that are on the newer consoles version and is missing a game mode or 2. Sucks that I paid full price to have half a game basically. You can't play as other monsters in the ps3 version, no VS mode. What did you guys think of the game?

Never heard of this being made even. Just came across it during my nightly youtube cruising. My major prob with it is at the moment being set up like one of those VR games that only lets you move around in 360 but not actually move from your spot. I have 0 interest in those kind of games & have little interest in VR to begin with but I'd certainly be down with trying a GodzillaVR

Good, maybe someone will finally put it out on the net somewhere. I'm really not interesting waiting until sometime 2017 to finally see it for a first time.

Going to see it tomorrow night at 7, will be back with a nice covered review. No spoilers just thoughts. I have a feeling though the tip of its tail will dissapoint me.

Trailers looked amazing though. Love the far away shots. This should be fun.

Watched this on Sunday. To me its the second best Jap Godzilla movie ever made behind the original. I liked it a lot but didnt love it.  I still liked Godzila 2014 more though. I give Godzilla Resurgence 7/10. While i give Godzilla 2014 8/10.

Just watched it a few hours ago and really enjoyed this experience! I loved the first hour! Probably one the best movies I think I saw all year!

The cinema was jam packed, it was filled to at least at 90-95% capacity. I could tell most people were fans of the genre as they looked really into it. There was even clapping in one scene and more clapping when the end credits came up. A lot of Japanese Canadians as well, you can tell because they knew the writing.

Ok my thoughts on the movie: not sure if these are spoilers, don't read from this point on I guess.

The good:

Spoiler
- The whole first hour was great. Even the political scene was very well done, I felt like I was watching something with a higher IQ than the regular hollywood stuff as of late..

- My favorite part is when he enters Japan as a Wyrm Godzilla with huge googly eyes and he's slithering on the friggin streets! At first I thought the eyes were clumsy looking but than realized how fkin scary would that be if it were real. Anyways just that scene alone was worth driving downtown to see this movie. It's so freakily well done that it's implanted in my head. I took a pic for our friend Xenozipper of the Wyrm stage Godzilla to prove to him it's worth the 8 hour walk to see it. Kidding.

So yeah the whole first entrance and the politicians scrambling freaking out not knowing what it is that's coming for them, was great. It could have maybe been done with a bit more terror on the streets though.

- Loved the chopper scene, that's my favorite chopper, the old school Vietnam Super Cobra, that scene was great as well as all the weapon testing done on Godzilla or Gojira.

- The laser cutting through the skyscrapers is awesome.

- That great sounding music that also played in the trailers. It was played only in one part I think and in the end credits.

- Watching it in Japanese with English subtitles instead of dubbed over versions. This plays a huge roll.

- 2nd entrance was great too but I feel it could have been done a bit better. The new head look is well done.

The small meh part:

- All take place in the 2nd hour of the movie for me. A big complaint is the orchestrated music with the trumpets and stuff. It had such a better tone with that eerie music on. When the orchestra starts it's like pretty much the end of the terror part. This isn't a circus, they do that in every Godzilla movie I think. Not sure why, I don't want to feel safe watching Godzilla destroying Tokyo.
[close]

- I won't write anymore for now so as to give you guys a chance to see it..not much mehs though.

Very cool movie

8.5/10 for me

A few pics for Xeno or anyone else: (Please Don't look at them than blame for a spoiler!)

Wyrm stage Godzilla, no hands yet, just slithering across the streets like this, friggin brilliant my best part ever in a Godzilla movie. Top 3 for sure.

No worries about spoilers. I don't complain about them. Nothing I haven't already seen from trailers & watching spoiler filled reviews on youtube. I know pretty much the entire plot of the movie & how things go down just because of how many different reviews I've watched so far so I don't think any more could be spoiled for me than has already from my own doing. Glad you liked.

I very much agree, thought the way he moved in his second form was so damn unnerving.

Post by: XenoZipper on Oct 20, 2016, 06:14:46 AM
8 hour drive it would be. Don't want to know long it would actually take to walk to Vancouver from where I am. But yea I'm with you guys, the Eel form or Wrym whatever it is, is the form I'm most looking forward to seeing other than final form. It's nice to see something completely different though I still kind of wish the transformation was done more like how I pictured it in my head (I've seen upped footage on youtube of the change from eel to turkey/dino) but it's still pretty rad stuff from what I've seen.

Question about the Eel/Wrym form. Does the pupil of his eye move around at all or is it pretty much stationary in a fixed position? I know I would be terrified to see something like that barreling down the street.

So you just stand there and watch as Godzilla wrecks stuff? You can't control him? Think there's a wyrm or turkey Godzilla in that game? :)

I really liked this movie. I feel like going seeing it again next Monday. They added one more show..

Will Toyo make another Godzilla? With the Wyrm?

I liked Godzilla 2014's final hour more but the firsr hour of Shin Godzilla was better for me.

I hope the US sequel comes up with something unique like that too. I cannot stand King Kong though.

By the way, have you guys ever seen Wyrmzilla in any comics..movies or games or was that its first appearance? I need to dig up some info..I think I got hooked lol.

Found this review on Amazon:

5.0 out of 5 stars  Daikaiju Perfection
By Aaron - January 31, 2016
This game a shining achievement, about which nothing negative should ever be said. I will tell you why.

Before I do though, you need to know a little bit about me. Because this game was clearly, blatantly made for people like me, and if you're not like me, you're not going to enjoy it the way I have. You'll probably still have some fun, but don't expect the euphoric rush of pure, unadulterated joy that I'm about to describe to you.
I can name you every Godzilla film in chronological order, the year they came out and what monster (if any) Godzilla fought in that particular film. I can do the same thing with the Gamera franchise, and can even name you just about every obscure King Kong spinoff that there is. I daily struggle with enough shelf space to display my Bandai 8.5 Godzilla Vinyls. I have books, Chinese bootleg VCDs and vinyl figures, and just about everything else that can be purchased pertaining to the Godzilla franchise.

ALL THAT BEING SAID - This game is perfect.

Your entire objective is to control Godzilla and destroy cities and fight monsters, which is exactly what a Godzilla game should be. Each level, you get another monster to fight, and when you beat them you get to unlock them. As you progress, you grow in size (or "power level" for the non-organic Kaiju like Mecha G). The monster roster is impressive, as good or better as any of those last-gen brawler games that started with Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee. There are two main game modes, one for city smashing and unlocking monsters, and another for round based monster combat. You can dive into either one right out of the gate, but you'll probably be drawn to the main campaign first. You start off with only Heisei Godzilla (90s) and Godzilla '64 (ala Mothra vs. Godzilla), and will probably want to defeat a few Kaiju in battle to unlock them first. There is also an online battle mode to play against other players, but I haven't spent much time with it.

What this game will hook you with (if you're a Godzilla fan) is the unending torrent of pure nostalgia. The developers definitely knew their target audience, and inserted lots of little nods and special touches that display what looks like a genuine love for the source material.

First is the sound track - it's pretty much all original scores from the movies, and you'll hear the classic Godzilla march often as you smash through whole city blocks. Second, the handling of the individual monsters is nearly perfect. Every Kaiju you battle gets a short introductory cut scene, and these scenes are near perfect recreations of each monster's first appearance in the film franchise. Mechagodzilla gets his short close ups with spinning hands and flashing eyes, King Ghidorah materializes out of a burning silhouette, Anguirus bursts out of the ground, and so on. If you have a strong familiarity with the films, you will constantly be reminded of your favorite moments from the franchise. I'm already popping Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla '74 into the DVD player as I write this, just to compare the visual effects of Mecha G' '74.

The game also includes a diorama mode, which is basically a virtual action figure collection that allows you to display and view models of the various monsters that you unlock throughout the game.

I could talk to you about controls and game play and graphics (which are good, not perfect but great for a license title. Your favorite monsters look exactly as they should), but if you're playing a movie license title and expecting a mechanically perfect game, you're here for the wrong reasons. This is a game for Kaiju fans, and stands apart as probably the best Godzilla game ever made (I've played them. All of them.)

Stop reading this review and buy it immediately. Unless you don't have any interest in Daikaiju, in which case I don't know what you're doing here in the first place.

Yea as far as I know Wrymzilla is exclusive to just the 1 movie. Never seen it appear in comic form. The comics stick to the traditional G look we're all familiar with but I would really like some ShinG comics though. It's all on IDW as they're the ones doing his comics these days but they've been slowing down majorly on their releases. They starting doing Rage Across Time but haven't popped an issue out in what feels like a long time.

Ah thx Xeno, do you know if Shin Godzilla will be released on Blu-Ray or DVD eventually?

And which comic series did you find the best so far? I wanted to start with the first IDW series titled King Of Monsters, but the reviews are so so.

I listed them in chronoligical order here, about 20 TPB's, https://www.goodreads.com/review/list/16696541-tom?shelf=godzilla

They look like they get better starting with Godzilla: Gangsters & Goliaths,,

Gangsters??
Title: Re: Godzilla
Post by: XenoZipper on Oct 21, 2016, 05:06:56 PM
I hear the blu ray comes out sometime in 2017, just can't find a release date anywhere at the moment.

As for the comics, I haven't read ALL of them yet. I've been kind of going backwards & I've read Oblivion, In Hell, Cataclysm & The Half-Century War so far but I'm slowly getting to them. I have digitals of everything if you're into having them in the same manner I send you those Aliens comics a bit ago. I'm only missing the last 2 volumes of Rulers of Earth but I'll be rectifying that shortly. I enjoyed Cataclysm for having Biollante in it. Yea I'm skeptical on the Gangsters & Goliaths one as well for when I get to it. I really hope IDW starts doing a Shin G run or at the very least maybe a movie adaption.

Same here man! I've seen some damn nice Shin Godzilla artwork out there that would be perfect for comic form. Hell even that pic you posted a few pages back with that "belated Alien Day" picture, the art for Shin G on that would be awesome for a comic but I've seen nothing about IDW takig a stab at doing anything. Rage Across Time was the last title they worked on but not sure if that is finished and they seem to be going really slow at popping issues out. Starting to think they're not focusing much on G anymore.

As long as G has more than 7 mins in a 2 hour run time, I'll be happy with the movie regardless who directs it. Some day shots would be nice too. 2014 was way too dark. Try watching the movie during the day with the sun coming through your windows, it pretty much renders the last half of the movie unwatchable unless you're watching in the dark.

Also can I find them in their Japanese versions with subtitles? I like when he comes out of the water slowly and starts demolishing everything. Never saw him eat anyone though, maybe we are too small for his taste. They say Wyrmzilla consummed people...

Destroy All Monsters is fun, Vs. Destoroyah as well I really enjoyed, I liked Tokyo S.O.S., Final Wars, G1985. From what I've heard Shin loosely translates to New or God, something along those lines so it's basically called New Godzilla haha Vs.Biollante is probably the most horror-esque of the Godzilla films. It's an odd one but the Biollante design is awesome.

Cool, I'll check them out. Those are your favorite ones? What about the '54 version?, I've never seen it.

Honestly not really into the other monsters lol, Just Godzilla and Wyrmzilla for now now. Although I like that Hydra one, would be nice to see it in a future movie. What's it's name?

I enjoy the '54 one for sure. It's moody and dark a little. It's slower paced than others but still good. I've only seen the Jap version without the added American scenes.

The hydra is Ghidorah. For him I'd check out Invasion of Monster Zero.

Great choices dude!

I screwed up on the Ghidorah movie name, was mixing the 2 translations up haha I think it's Invasion of Astro-Monster and the other alternate title is Vs.Monster Zero. G1985 as I've been calling it is also The Return of Godzilla. I need to do another marathon one of these days. It's been a while since I last sat down to watch all of them in a row. I liked GMK but the only thing I didn't like was the aspect of Ghidorah being a guardian of earth and on the side of good. I always thought him to be from somewhere else in the universe and always a bad guy.

Originally it was supposed to be Varan and Anguirus but the studio made them change it up to King Ghidorah and Mothra because they are more popular.

Post by: XenoZipper on Oct 23, 2016, 05:23:42 AM
That would have been pretty interesting! I could have easily accepted Anguirus in place of Ghidorah for that movie at least. Mothra makes sense as she's a guardian of earth anyway so it worked for the storyline. Just felt a little out of place for me to have Ghidorah a good guy but still a very enjoyable movie. I'm honestly surprised Godzilla & Gamera haven't gone against each other yet. Really enjoyed the Heisei Gamera trilogy.
Title: Re: Godzilla
Post by: Nostromo on Oct 23, 2016, 05:44:56 PM
Thanks for all the suggestions guys. I will watch them all. I ended up watching Godzilla vs King Ghadorah from 1992 because I tried watching Godzilla 1985 or The Revenge of Godzilla as you guys call it but it kept showing Wizard of Oz or Coccoon lol. Damn Kodi apps.

Here are some thoughts:

Godzilla looked not bad but not great either. You can easily tell the rubber suit motions and looks.

King Ghadorah looked a bit better.

The story is great. I liked it. It's funny how much politics and everyday Japanese life is involved in Godzilla movies. This one was made in 1991-2 at the height of the Japanese world tech invasion right before their stock market got destroyed and they fell into a massive long recession. The lady from the future mentions Japan ended up being the richest country in thecworld and bought continents like Africa and South America in the future....haha...they must of thought they'd conquer the world in those days...anyone remember the US studio takeovers by Japan in the early 90's?

Anyhow..I liked Godzilla when he finally invaded Tokyo but was never crazy when watching him fight monsters...I just want to see him destroying cities..

I need to find a place to watch these in higher quality. I must have seen it in like 240p. Really not enjoyable. Anyone have any magic links?

Witch Godzilla movies feature no other monsters?

1954 & 1985 only?

All I can suggest Nostromo is checking out Piratebay or Rarbg for torrents as they have every Godzilla movie on both sites. I don't own every movie but I got a couple on dvd and blu ray and downloaded the rest I was missing until I have the cash to pick them up. When I used to have Netflix, they had a bunch of G movies on there as well.

But yea like Kaltes said, just '54, '85 & Shin are the only Godzilla stand alone movies. I enjoy when he fights other monsters though too. Ghidorah being my main favorite baddy. Vs. King Ghidorah was pretty good & there's also the first one just called, Ghidorah, the Three Headed Monster

Wow, tough question beings as Tokyo is getting destroyed in just about every movie whether he's fighting another monster or not so it really just comes down to personal favorites. I highly enjoyed Final Wars for it's insanity but if you're not into other monsters you may not like it as pretty much every monster he's ever fought appears in it including the 1st American made Zilla.

First American one is the 98 version. Zilla was just the name it ended up getting as no one really accepted it as a Godzilla movie or design haha I personally don't count it in my marathons. I rarely ever touch that movie. Toho showed their distaste for that version by having their Godzilla kill Zilla in Final Wars in a matter of seconds with 1 Atomic blow. Never heard of Kodi myself. I hate streaming so I don't use anything like those so yea, can't help you in finding the movies other than directing you to Amazon to buy the blu rays.

If I could get away with uploading the movies on youtube for you to watch I would but I uploaded Final Wars a few years back for a friend who also doesn't do torrents but wanted to see it and Toho shut that shit down immediately and I had to delete it. I kinda like having my channel around so I won't risk it a second time.

Yeah Toho seems uptight lol. I might order a dvd or blu-ray of the 54 and 85 versions.

Which is an easy to use torrent client these days? And torrent website I think you told me thanks.

How many Godzilla movies have been made after the zilla in 98? I wonder which one looks the realest.

PS> I liked the entrance of zilla how came to NYC..some nice scary scenes, but that's about it, too much hollywood after.

I use BitComet myself. Pretty damn good and for sites I bounce between Piratebay & Rarbg.
As for movies after the 98 version was the entire Millennium series which consist of..

Godzilla 2000
G vs. Megaguirus
GMK:Giant Monsters All Out Attack (gmk just means Godzilla, Mothra & King Ghidorah)
G Against MechaGodzilla
Tokyo S.O.S.
Final Wars

Ironically Zilla was so awful it actually made Toho bring Godzilla out of retirement early. They didn't plan to bring him back until 2004 (his fiftieth anniversary) but ended up making Godzilla 2000 in 1999 and the Millennium series would go on until 2004.

Don't blame them. After that fiasco of a movie, they had to redeem the character and they rightfully did just that. I love that they just annihilated Zilla in Final Wars. And in Australia too as I've heard that's where the sequel was going to take place but thankfully never happened.

As long as G has more than 7 mins in a 2 hour run time, I'll be happy with the movie regardless who directs it. Some day shots would be nice too. 2014 was way too dark. Try watching the movie during the day with the sun coming through your windows, it pretty much renders the last half of the movie unwatchable unless you're watching in the dark.

^+1

But G does have more than 7 minutes in the 2014 film. I think it's around 10 or so minutes.

I agree with the darkness, I always watch it at night. I'd like for the sequel to have some more day scenes, especially more fights during the day.

Is it 10? Hmm everything I saw on youtube totalled it to 7 something but even at 10 it's still not acceptable. 10 mins of a 2 hour runtime with extremely boring and dull characters that no one could give 2 shits about was difficult. I loved every moment he was onscreen but after that was back to dull city. But yea, I hope the sequel has way more day time shots. It's not like they need to keep him in the shadows and mysterious, we all know what he looks like so I hope they go all out next time. I'm curious how their designs for Mothra and Ghidorah will turn out.

Here's a question though. We know things are supposed to lead up to a Godzilla vs King Kong but don't you think that fight will be kind of boring and pointless if Godzilla goes against Ghidorah before that movie happens? Just makes me think, what's Kong going to do if Ghidorah can't even beat him.

No no I didn't mean you were blaming them. I meant that as I don't blame them for bringing G out of retirement for how awful Zilla turned out. I should have worded that better but I'm with you in detesting Zilla. I would have accepted Stan Winston's attempt over that, at least it was closer.

I rarely ever touch that movie. Toho showed their distaste for that version by having their Godzilla kill Zilla in Final Wars in a matter of seconds with 1 Atomic blow.

Didn't some other Toho monsters last just as long as Zilla? I remember Hedorah lasted even shorter and got pwned from just a tail swipe or something. I don't know where people heard this from, has Toho explicitly said they made this scene to spite Zilla? Because the other monsters had really short scenes and like I said, some didn't even put up a fight.  It's been a while since I saw that movie, it's not one I like as much as other G films. If it's true and Toho did that deliberately to spite the film, then it's just stupid and childish. Nothing but a dick measuring contest. "Look, my lizard's bigger!" *nob swipe* *finish with atomic breath*

I think it's likely all the fights (including Zilla's) were rushed due to the huge amount of monsters, and to save time for the long battle with the final monster, Kaiser Ghidorah.

I like the 1998 film and count it as a different take on Godzilla. Just how Shin and 2014 were different takes.

1998 is a giant mutant iguana.

2014 is a grounded and realistic take on a primordial beast with gills and armoured scales.

Shin was a giant WTF coming out of nowhere and trashing the city.

Also GMK was a different take, him being made from the souls of WW2 soldiers.

So I think this whole "1998 is not a true Godzilla because he's too different" is ironic. So when 'Murica does something different, it sucks, but when Toho does, it's fine.

If people are having a go at the plot or characters, that's fair enough, I don't mind people having opinions on a film. But just saying things like it sucks because he's different, yet liking Toho's different interpretations is a little bit suspicious...  :-\

Zilla Jr from the cartoon series, and the Zilla from the "Rulers of Earth" comics proves that the iguana can be a badass by himself if given the chance. I used to get pissed off by people constantly hating on and moaning about the 1998 film and Zilla for literally over a decade, but now I just think it's kind of sad. People really can't move on over a fictional character. Go on literally every YouTube video about Zilla, and someone's either bitching about the monster, or simply parroting what's been said a million times for nearly twenty years now. 1998 should be in the Guinnes World Record for being the longest Hate Bandwagon that's still rolling.

Look at it this way then, if it weren't for 1998, you wouldn't have gotten the Millenium series as it were, and we wouldn't have gotten the 2014 film either which has a good chance of leading to Godzilla vs King Kong! And spawning its own Legendary series. You people should look on the bright side instead of griping too much about a giant iguana.  :P

You could be right in that it was just Toho doing a dick whip out contest but honestly they created Godzilla so they kind of have a right to do so. 98 was a flop of a movie that didn't do justice to the character & Toho just does it better because it's their creation so they know what to do with it. I think the movie would have been a little bit more tolerable for me if it wasn't full of really lame Americanized jokes. It was way too jokey for a Godzilla movie for my liking & the baby Zilla's? Ugh, just awful but that's my opinion. I certainly don't knock anyone that likes the movie & adds it as part of the series. But for me, it's not a case of "Godzilla was too different", it was just more the movie as a whole I couldn't find enjoyable at all and a lot of it being from the lame jokes. Nothing against the actors, I like them in other things they do but I don't think they fit well in a Godzilla flick. Shin is an extremely different take on Godzilla & I'm fully accepting it even though I haven't even seen the movie yet but I have faith that Toho knows what they're doing to make it very interesting.
Title: Re: Godzilla
Post by: The Alien Predator on Oct 23, 2016, 10:01:29 PM
I appreciate your view XenoZipper. I don't mind people giving their personal criticisms of the film. It's annoying when you go on places like YouTube or elsewhere on the internet and seeing people just plain out bash the film constantly. It gets so toilsome after a while. And it's usually always the same old crap as well. Hardly anyone has a new thing to say.

At least you added something new by saying you didn't like the constant jokes for instance. Finally something original instead of "missiles killed him - 0/10, insta-flop. Never watching again."

I understand you saying Toho can do whatever they want with their creation, that's a fair argument. Hence why I think that everyone has their own personal favourite Godzilla, which is the charm of the character due to the diversity. I like the animalistic approaches which is why I like 1998 and 2014 interpretations, because they're essentially huge instinct driven animals. Also both of the films are quite grounded in the human element as well as the monster element. 2014 isn't ridiculously overpowered as some Toho variations and 1998 is much weaker.

I always liked a bit of vulnerability in Godzilla to balance him out a bit. So everytime he fights something, it keeps you guessing.

Not gonna lie, while watching the film at the cinema, for a moment I was worried that Legendary's Godzilla died at the end when he was lying down with the humans around him. Completely forgetting that Hollywood wouldn't dare kill him after what happened with 1998. I was thinking to myself "please don't be dead" and was relieved when he opened his eyes.

I like that bit of tension. This is something I never felt with Toho's version because I know that he's 99% assured to survive. The 2014 one looked vulnerable and was being overwhelmed when the MUTOs ganged up on him. It seemed so believable that he could've died during that fight if it weren't for Brody blowing up the nest.

I liked Godzilla the Series for the same reason. Zilla Jr was tougher than his parent, but he was also a very vulnerable Kaiju. Any of the monsters or the army could've killed him if given the chance. So he had to rely a lot on his skills as well as brute force. He had to also rely on cunning. This is something 2014 Godzilla had to do, rely on predatory cunning, hence why he snuck around. I loved that about him, a true predator stalking his prey rather than lumbering towards another giant monster.

Like I said, that's the beauty of Godzilla. These animalistic and predatory ones (Zilla and Legendary) are my personal faves. Others will like Toho's various interpretations. Some may like Shin for the sheer mystery it poses and questions it makes you ask for instance. I imagine there's tons of fun theories about Shin, what it is and its origins.

Post by: XenoZipper on Oct 23, 2016, 10:32:45 PM
Thanks man and I appreciate your view as well. Likewise I'm sure there's a lot of Toho die hards that like the Showa era more than Heisei or Millennium and vice versa so it's all just personal preference. The Heisei era is my favorite. But yea it was mainly the jokes in 98 that wrecked the movie for me. I can deal with a vulnerable Godzilla just so I can root for him more when he's getting his ass kicked by some other monster.

I didn't mind the Legendary movie when Godzilla was around. I remember just about jizzing my pants in the theater when the build of sound of his atomic breath started up and I still think that's the best build up sound in all the movies. That low rumbling bass was just fantastic. I can't say I ever thought he was dead at the end though. Figured it was just recharge time like it ended up being basically. I will admit though that I felt bad for Godzilla on Vs.Destoroyah. There was 2 G's in that movie one of which gets killed by Destoroyah and I honestly felt bad for him but I've always looked at Godzilla as a force of nature type thing and similar to Mothra where yes you can kill the one but another just rises in place afterwards. That's pretty much what happened at the end of Destoroyah where both died but a new one was in place at the end. Just a force that will never die.

I've very interested in the Shin version as I see that as being a metaphor for the whole Fukishima plant with radiation and the tsunami. I dig that idea a lot and look forward to seeing the movie immensely.

I've yet to check out the cartoon series. I've seen maybe an episode or 2 many years ago but I'll have to sit down with it & give it a go as I am interested to see it in full.
Title: Re: Godzilla
Post by: The Alien Predator on Oct 23, 2016, 11:46:16 PM
Thanks! My favourite Toho era would have to be the Millenium, I really liked the design of Godzilla 2000. I also enjoyed the Kiriyu films as well. I wasn't too much into Final Wars though. I agree with you on rooting for him when he's getting his ass kicked, that's a new way of looking at it lol. For me it's more of the "he can die" tension, that Godzilla is just another monster trying to survive.

I also got super excited at the atomic breath buildup in 2014. That film had some of the best Godzilla sound effects for me personally, that roar was just brilliant. I loved the MUTO sounds too. I agree on Godzilla "napping" just being him resting, that's another thing I loved about the 2014 one. He gets exhausted, he is an ancient creature and because he's so massive, he needs tons of energy to move around. I imagine the reason he hibernates for thousands of years, is because he preserves energy. Like when you see cats, especially Cheetahs, they lounge around resting or sleeping to save up energy. So something as big as Godzilla would definitely need his beauty sleep.  :laugh: The fight coupled with the swimming (literally for miles across an entire ocean), some walking around on land and then a fight that started during the day and went well into the night must've been very energy consuming for such a massive beast.

As for Vs. Destoroyah, I thought the one at the end was Junior having absorbed his father's radiation and came back, fully grown. But you're right, no matter what, there's always another. He did die several times in Toho films, the most famous being in the first film. And another always came back. Even Zilla lived up to that tradition.  :P

Yeah, I also thought Shin was a metaphor to Fukushima. Do you think the MUTO's attack in 2014 on a power plant was also a metaphor to that? It was also in Japan where it attacked. You mentioning tsunamis, 2014's Hawaii scene with the tsunami could also be a metaphor to natural disasters.

You should give it a go. I saw the entire series four or five times in total. It's really enjoyable and never gets old. I'd love a 2014 cartoon series, where MUTOs rise across the world and MONARCH has to track them down with Godzilla showing up to hunt these monsters. The cartoon series also focuses a lot on HEAT studying Zilla Jr. This could be done here, MONARCH could study 2014 Godzilla a lot, his behaviour and biology. It's got a lot of potential. I wouldn't mind whether it's a cartoon or anime.

1. Godzilla 2014
2. Shin Godzilla
3. 98 Zilla

Does Godzilla look realistic in the millenium series or full rubber n bounce suit?

Post by: XenoZipper on Oct 24, 2016, 01:03:45 AM
I'm with you I definitely like the Millennium series a lot too as well as the different MechaGodzilla's. Liked the idea that they built that with the bones of a previous Godzilla. I honestly would really like to see Legendary bring in MechaGodzilla. Would be a lot cooler than the idea of bringing Pacific Rim into the mix. Interesting movie that was but I didn't love it that's for sure.

Good observation on Vs.Destoroyah! For some reason I didn't clue in to the overheating Godzilla transferring his power or essence into the Junior but that makes a lot more sense. His death in that was pretty awesome too just melting away & same with '54. I love his death in that one too.

In all honestly, I never really tried to attach the 2014 movie to any sort of metaphor. For some reason, I never thought an American version would be smart enough to do something like that but it's very possible that the MUTO's could have been a metaphor for it. I just never thought of it before but that's an interesting theory. I was thinking just the Wrymzilla in Shin was a metaphor for the tsunami just for how it's just charging through everything like a tsunami would do. I still have to see the movie to know the full context of how it works. The MUTO's were.. interesting. I liked the sounds they made but I can't say I was a fan of their design. They looked too similar to the Cloverfield monster to me & I was hoping the American's would be a little bit more inventive when it came to creating a new monster. I mean look at what Japan creates, they're pretty out there at times haha I think American's have it in them to create some bizarre stuff but for some reason don't do it very much. I can't say much, I'm Canadian and we don't have any interesting monster creations over here to my knowledge except for what's in my own brain haha

I'll give the cartoon series another go though. Can never have enough Godzilla in my life haha A 2014 cartoon would be great or even a comic series but I don't think they have anything planned for that in that format anyway. We'll have to wait and see what this new animated series coming in 2017 is going to be about. I have no idea if it's going to be using Shin Godzilla design or Millennium or Legendary or something new altogether. I'm just happy that Godzilla is still in the spotlight and surviving well in movies and comics.

Haha what can I say, stick a couple Godzilla nerds together and we'll yap away :) Definitely not going to flame you for what designs you like. Everyone's entitled to their own likes. As much as I like the Heisei era I think his Millennium design is pretty damn bad ass. I mean no matter what at certain points you'll be able to tell it's the rubber suit but I think as far as rubber suits go, the Millennium series probably has the most realism to it and emotions in the face. I'm actually curious what 2014 would have looked like if they tried to rubber suit it. Probably nowhere near how it does in CGI but still would have been interesting to see some test footage or something like that of trying to make it like the Toho titles. A good blend of CGI & rubber suit would have gone a long way for me and that's one thing I'll give the American's over Japan is more realistic looking CGI. Japan is good don't get me wrong but it's definitely more obvious though I need to see Shin to see how that CGI looks. I loved what I've seen in trailers and leaked footage so far. I'm definitely a fan of Shinzilla's design a lot. I still think that wasn't his final final form. If he's supposed to be tons of micro-organisms bunched together from radioactivity to create the one entity, I'd like to think he still wasn't fully formed (hence why there's the red spots all over him as exposed areas, the bones in his tail etc.. I think if given more time to evolve, he would have become more like the Godzilla we all know).

WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY!!!!!!!!!!????????????? *huge flame rant*

;D

I'd say the most realistic Godzillas are 2014 and 98 because they seem very alive and animalistic. Also vulnerable and can die.

Shin is too mysterious. However, all three of those films have a very realistic world. No huge mechs or high tech weaponry, just our basic army stuff against them.

Quote from: XenoZipper on Oct 24, 2016, 01:03:45 AM
*snip*

I also liked the bones idea and how Kiriyu seemed to have a bit of his mind still left in him. I know it doesn't make sense due to him being a skeleton, but hey, it's GOJIRAAA! What's there to make sense about? XD I forgot to mention, I do like the Heisei designs a lot. I love the shark like double-row of teeth. Regarding Mechs, I personally prefer the humans to be grounded in reality. Maybe they try and develop Kaiju specific weapons, like a real world Maser weapon. Or even a new kind of aircraft to tackle giant monsters. Because the square cube law would be hard to overcome. Now I know it's ironic I bring this up on a Godzilla topic on why I think Mechs won't make sense. But hear me out, I imagine the 2014 Kaiju have "evolved" to handle their immense weight which is why their flesh isn't falling apart of their bones aren't snapping.

I heard that during WW2, the Germans built a tank so huge that its threads sank a bit into the concrete and rendered it immobile. So huge vehicles would probably be impractical. But I can see humans trying to build a weapon that focuses energy at a target.

The asteroid impact during the Permian failed to kill Legendary Godzilla, and the nukes failed to kill him because these explosions are really spread out. The MUTOs hurt him because their hits are very focused and direct. I don't know the exact physics of how this works, it's something I've heard mentioned elsewhere and it makes some sense when you think about it. Maybe humans can build some death ray that has the force and heat of a nuke but without the environmental damage which would dilute the force of the weapon, just the target damage.

Yeah, that was quite a gruesome death for Big G!

I also noticed the Cloverfield like appearance of the MUTOs. Although they do have some unique traits too. I can see something like Clover existing during the Age of Monsters. Ah man, can you imagine a documentary? Have you seen Walking with DInosaurs? They should seriously consider making a Walking with Godzilla, set it in the Age of Monsters era of the Legendary universe where we can see Godzilla's species as well as many others. Have Jeremy Irons (Scar) narrate it. XD

I liked the Godzilla Awakening comic that introduced the Shinomura MUTO. And we saw a bit of the Permian period. I think the Permian is way past the Age of Monsters, it was a declining period for the huge animals but a new chapter for much smaller animals. The asteroid impact was the final hit to the nail in the coffin.

That whole Walking with Dinosaurs series is amazing. Love the Walking with Sea Monsters or what's it called, the one with Megalodon and the top 10 most dangerous aquatic species ever. The dinos in the whole collection are 2nd to none or perhaps only the ones in Jurassic Park look more realistic. Wish they'd make a Godzilla too.

Nigel ftw!

There actually was a follow up to Walking with Dinosaurs called Walking with Monsters, but it was mainly just about the animals that existed before the dinosaurs.

Aw man that's a great idea to have Walking With Kaiju's!! Loved that Walking With Dinosaurs series. They have such good looking dinos in that show. Definitely down for that idea!

You make good points about the mechs though for sure in how they wouldn't really work well in a realistic setting. I guess I just never tried to think about it in the real world as I try to distance myself from movies that try to ground it into our world too much. I'm definitely more into the fantasy idea of things & going wild rather than trying to figure out how things would work in our dimension because let's face it, our dimension sucks & is boring & all these cool things we like wouldn't be able to exist in the way we know them basing them off our laws of physics so I like to stay in fantasy land :P Nothing wrong with trying to see how it would work though! I've seen quite a few youtube vids about trying to figure out if something like Godzilla could really exist in our reality.

I've yet to read the Godzilla Awakening comic but I have it for when I get around to it. I've only read the original 70s Marvel run, Cataclysm, Oblivion, Half-Century War & In Hell so far. Actually regarding what you said about Kiriyu having some of Godzilla's mind in a way sort of makes sense to me if the essence of Godzilla is still permeating within the bones themselves. In the In Hell comic, G gets rendered into bones & then ends up coming back as a tons of smaller little creatures cover his bones up & becomes Godzilla again. It was done in a weird neat way because at first his skin isn't fully formed & you could see the smaller creatures for a short bit.

Hey what about those mini godzilla
Spoiler
humanoids coming out of it's tail when they froze him. What the heck was that all about lol. They looked good though, pretty scary miniatures. Little Godzilla zombies or something. Weird..
[close]

Spoiler
I've only seen pictures of that so far but my theory is that those can either come off his body & become another Godzilla or if he really is comprised of millions of organisms, it's possible that's what those things could be in his end of the film form. We just couldn't see them in his other forms for him being smaller in size. Just a guess though, I have no idea.

Regarding Mechs, I personally prefer the humans to be grounded in reality. Maybe they try and develop Kaiju specific weapons, like a real world Maser weapon. Or even a new kind of aircraft to tackle giant monsters.

Now that you mention that, that could be a good opportunity for Legendary to introduce Super X-1, 2 & 3 or maybe even Gotengo if they wanted to take it that far.
Title: Re: Godzilla
Post by: The Alien Predator on Oct 24, 2016, 02:24:06 AM
I agree with you on wanting to unwind and enjoy a fantasy setting every now and then. I do like our real universe too, I'd love to see a space battle done in a realistic tone for instance, it'd be so amazing because space has no friction and the ship can easily turn anywhere and fire while still moving in the original direction. Also when chased, you can abruptly stop, fire upper thrusters to go down and then fire front thrusters to go backwards, aim at your pursuers and blast away with lasers that fire so fast that they go at light speed! Physics can be really interesting once you see some of the amazing stuff they offer.

But yeah, sometimes it's great to get into things like Lord of the Rings or the Elder Scrolls games, go completely wild. XD I do often enjoy other Toho Godzilla universes with other monsters. It feels like a whole squad of giant friends and rivals sometimes, with Earth as a school playground.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking, Legendary could easily do the Super X's, or even their own Gotengo somehow (it might have to be more aerodynamic), because it'd make sense for the military to invest in this stuff to combat Kaiju.

While on the topic of Walking with Kaiju. I remembered that the 2005 King Kong movie had a book released about Skull Island, with all the critters. It was done in the same way that those animal books are done (I LOVE reading those), so it'd be cool to have a Kaiju Guide in the Legendary verse. Have all of Monarchs notes on their discoveries so far, including fossil and artistic illustrations of what they may have looked like, including actual photos of ones we've seen like the MUTOs and Godzilla.

This picture makes you realize how bad ugly the 1998 version looked.

I think the design has never been perfected to be honest. I like Shin but it's legs are massive like a therapod. 2014 something there too I don't like. Will have to look at this from work tomorrow and decide.

Which design do you guys like and which do you find the most real looking. The cookie monster one in the 60's or 70's is a joke lol.

Post by: The Alien Predator on Oct 24, 2016, 06:36:21 AM
For me, 2014 is perfect and most realistic. I can't find anything to whinge about lol. I can't find anything to criticize on 98 either, I love it, I grew up with it.

The 60's and 70's ones are a joke indeed. There's flaws I find with lots of the designs in general, but it's mainly due to the limited effects and suits. But that's because I like to be immersed in a film and when a big rubber suited monster comes trashing the city, that gets a bit difficult. However, when I am in a Godzilla mood and turn off my brain to enjoy the film, then it's a different story.

I'm not too fond of how over the top Shin is. It's almost a dick measuring contest again between Toho and 'Murica. I mean, why is Shin a bit bigger than Legendary? Why is Shin's atomic breath so over the top that it's taken way up to 11 and beyond? Man, none of the Godzillas prior this one even come close. I think he'd obliterate most of the monsters in previous films. All he has to do is turn around... and you know the rest, Nostromo.

I did like the forms though, especially the one with gills. I also liked the red and black colouration, it mixes so well.

But he's way too overpowered and over the top. I prefer some weaknesses, some chances humans or other monsters would have. I want to be concerned if Godzilla will even make it. 2014 even recoiled while being shot, even if that's annoyance, it shows he at least feels it. Shin didn't give a f**k. I guess some people like that approach, but it's not one for me personally. I like some balance.

Post by: XenoZipper on Oct 24, 2016, 08:03:21 AM
Little late to the convo as I was catching up on my Sunday shows (Ash vs Evil Dead, Westworld, Walking Dead) but I'd have to say because I'm really partial to the Heisei era I'd have to say my favorites are the 1991-1995 G's. The most realistic to me I'd have to say is between 2004 & 2014 though neither is my favorite. I agree about the 70s one looking corny and cookie monster but I still enjoy those movies too. I grew up on that cheesy stuff so it's easy for me to shut off my brain for the whole rubber suit thing but I'm from a time of prosthetics before CGI became the big thing so I'm still going to love practical effects more than CGI no matter what it looks like. I love seeing the miniature sets of building getting destroyed. Be a blast to actually do that for real & crush a miniature city. I just really appreciate something really being there for actors to react to rather than green screen stuff but I can respect you guys liking the CGI ones as well. It's all on what you grew up with. I'm just not really a big CGI fan myself & don't watch too many newer movies. I'm definitely stuck in the past and spend 98% of my watching time on 80s movies.

Yea Shin does seem to be a bit overpowered with his atomic blasts haha As awesome as it looks, it still pretty off the charts. The closest one that would come to it for me would be the Finals Wars (2004) one with his ending spiral atomic blast that shoots Kaiser Ghidorah right out into space before blowing him up haha

I'm sure this has probably been asked in here before but I can't be bothered to go back & look so I'll ask anyway, what atomic blast color is your guys' favorite? As much as I dig the purple for Shin, I'm still going to have to say my favorite is blue then the orange then purple. As much as I loved the build up sound for 2014's blast, I have to admit the blast itself felt underwhelming for me. I felt it was a little thin for how big of a buildup it had. Still cool but not my favorite by far.

Haha I can hear it now like it's some National Geographic documentary. "And here we see the Godzilla stepping on the tail of it's offspring to help it form it's first atomic breath. The other Godzilla's will have to wait their turn." Speaking of which, where the hell did Manilla come from anyway? Was there ever a "mother" so to speak? Is Godzilla the kind of guy that would just knock up some female Zilla & then take off only to later on have his illegitimate son get sent to him because he's not paying child support?

What year is Invasion of Monster Zero?

Just to be sure, there's no bouncing, tap dancing or clapping Godzilla in any of these right? You know which one I'm talking about lol.

Good choice yea the blu ray's are fairly cheap & a lot of them are double features so even more a bonus.

Invasion of Astro Monster (aka.. G Vs. Monster Zero) was 1965 & if memory serves me right, that's the one where he does do a victory dance haha For the ones you're buying though, you should be fine and dance free.

I got my mitts on the 98 cartoon series though so I'll dig into that in a little bit. I'm very happy to read Frank Welker does Godzilla. He's only my favorite voice actor haha I also grabbed the old '78 cartoon series as I've only seen an episode. Should be awful cheesy fun  ;) I'll report back my thoughts on the 98 series though after I've watched. Looking forward to it.

With G '85 it's more a case similar to G2000 where they were released a year prior to what the film is called. G 1985 came out in '84, G2000 in '99. Here's how I have everything written down on paper to keep track of things including their release years and alternate titles for some...

Showa Era
(1954) Godzilla, King of the Monsters
(1955) Godzilla Raids Again

(1975) Terror of MechaGodzilla

Heisei Era
(1984) The Return of Godzilla (Godzilla 1985)
(1989) Godzilla vs Biollante
(1991) Godzilla vs King Ghidorah
(1992) Godzilla vs Mothra (Godzilla & Mothra: The Battle For Earth)
(1993) Godzilla vs MechaGodzilla II
(1994) Godzilla vs SpaceGodzilla
(1995) Godzilla vs Destoroyah

Millennium Era
(1999) Godzilla 2000
(2000) Godzilla vs Megaguiris
(2001) Godzilla, Mothra & King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All Out Attack
(2002) Godzilla Against MechaGodzilla
(2003) Godzilla: Tokyo S.O.S.
(2004) Godzilla: Final Wars

and then we have Shin Godzilla. That's the entire Toho lineup anyway. I don't think I'm missing any.

No prob Nostromo.

I do agree the victory dance is silly in the movie but I still get a chuckle out of it. It's not that much worse than Godzilla's super fly across the screen drop kick or his using the atomic breath to make himself fly backwards haha. Strangely, all of those moves (minus the flying drop kick) are in the last Godzilla game for PS3/PS4/Xbox and are actually pretty effective. I use the dance move all the time when I charge at another monster & it just screws them up long enough for me to belt out an atomic blast. Not the best game but I can still have fun with it.

I just take it as cultural differences. It's certainly an acquired taste if you're not from there but I bet if you were born and raised there it would be pretty normal. They do have some pretty bizarre comedy shows over there but I can't deny I wouldn't mind being on one just because it's so different. Even in Canada here there's differences between provinces. I have tons of family in Nova Scotia and they think my way of life over in BC is weird for some reason but I guess they're not used to the strange fast pace of Vancouver like I am likewise, I wouldn't be able to assimilate well over there for how they live. I would seriously love to visit Japan one day. Aside from loving Godzilla & Kaiju movies, I'm also a pretty big anime fan so I would have a blast there plus they have some crazy awesome arcade games over there that we'll probably never see over here. It's a culture I'm certainly interested in for sure.

I believe that's one of the factions from Warhammer. I'm not into the Warhammer stuff but I see it all over the place when I hit up my local comic shop & other hobby shops.

The "heresy" bit means it's definitely Warhammer.

It's Warhammer 40,000, which is a more sci fi version of Warhammer.

But since you two have got it wrong, I suspect a taint Chaos and have reported to the Holy Inquisition of my suspicions of Heresy.

Inquisitor g2vd of Ordos Hereticus will be with you two shortly for an "investigation."

How did I get it wrong? I still said Warhammer. Like it makes much of a difference I didn't add the 40.000 to it. It's still the same game haha Same shit, different pile as they say or splitting hairs. I'm not a fan of the game.

Warhammer is a fantasy setting while 40,000 is a sci fi fantasy.  :P It does make a lot of difference, there's things in 40,000 that aren't in Warhammer and vice versa.

It's like someone says "remember when Lex and Scar gazed into each other's eyes lovingly in Alien?" Someone's gonna point out "actually, it's Alien vs Predator."  :P  :laugh:

Does anybody agree that King Kong will be used to kill Godzilla in the upcoming 2020 movie? Kong is easy for the military to kill.

Godzilla might not be seen as a protector for kaiju attacks after Godzilla 2 (2019) I think maybe he'll get more on the bad side on the humans. Hmm perhaps I read somebody elses post on this.

I have more thoughts on Godzilla 2 (2019) and the upcoming King Kong vs. Godzilla movie. I have a idea where Godzilla teams up with the other Kaiju and they destroy civilization. Maybe Godzilla is attacked by tbe United States military which causes this. The military is able to kill off the other Kaiju and Godzilla still lives on.  I forget what the organization is called in Godzilla (2014) for Kaiju but they decide to send in King Kong from Skull Island to kill Godzilla. I think I'might still be remembering somebody's else's posts here.

I assume Kong will be based on the upcoming Skull Island which is significantly bigger than any previous version of Kong. We'll have to wait and see. I look forward to all 3 (Skull Island, Godzilla 2, Kong vs Godzilla). It's a good time to be a monster fan.

I Really hope he is not as big as Godzilla2014. Instead I am hoping Kong is around 3/4 the size Big G (or smaller) and is very adgile and fast compared to being as big and slow like Big G.

I would like to see the 2 eventually have to team up to take out a bigger threat. If Kong was smaller than G, you could have some cool shots of Kong climbing up G and maybe jump off him to land a blow on the other threat. But I'm pretty sure they're probably going to make Kong around the same size as G.

The Kong film is set in the 70s and Kong is at least 100 feet tall.  So he has 50 years to hit the gym and eat right, if wants to get bigger. ;)

Sweet image.  It's pretty obvious who's going to win this fight, though coz 'size does matter'.  Godzill here has twice the mass of Kong.   That alone would determine the winner here.  Then, there's those claws... 'Zilla wins on that front, too!  I'm betting that Godzilla's jaws have a greater bite force than Kong.  Even if you compare the bite force of animals you'll find that the closest analogies to these 2 combatants is gorillas and crocodiles... and while the ape has a powerful bite, the force exerted by a crocodile can double that.

So this confrontation is going to be short.  Godzilla wins here.

Obviously in a full frontal confrontation like this, Godzilla is going to win.  The ape is just too brutally overpowered.  However, Kong is a primate - and primates are smart.  I'd love to see the artist responsible for this image tackle this aspect of both of these Big Boys.  I'd love to see an image where Kong has managed to sneak up behind Godzilla to defeat him.  This is the composition I have in mind:

Kong standing, beating his chest victoriously with one foot on Godzilla's corpse; and one of those tower cranes wrapped around his scaly neck.

By the way, you neglected to add a 'Both' option.  They both have their merits.

Although smart, Gorillas/Apes aren't geniuses. In a fight, i'm pretty sure their instincts will take over and their style will consist of... bite, bite, smash, throw, bash, charge, strangle, shake, smash some more. I can't imagine one scratching it's head mid fight and being like... hmmm, this guy's too big, maybe i'll use that billboard as a boomerang! He'll never see that coming!

I always say a good way to get into the series is by picking up Criterion's Godzilla and Classic Media's Godzilla Collection. That gives you a nice overview of the Showa series, from the original to Terror of Mechagodzilla. Filling in the rest should be easy now that the majority of the series is readily available on DVD/Blu-ray (aside from Son of Godzilla and Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla which are out of print and going for crazy prices).

This might've been posted before, but here it is again -

Kotaku: Do you personally miss traditional Godzilla suit acting? Do you think it will ever return to the franchise?

Sato: Based on your question, it seems like you have an emotional attachment to Godzilla based on the character costume method.

When necessary, the technique that is required is changed according to the Godzilla character and the movie style. If the movie style is one that requires a Godzilla in a character costume, then it's fine to use a character costume.

Now now, no need to throw words of ban. He was merely answering my question of who he thought was the fastest and most agile. I was asking who the best Godzilla was. I personally don't like 1998 as a movie or a Godzilla but there's no denying it can't move fast. It's smaller design allowed it to move between buildings instead of plowing through them, it disappeared during a chase. Can't say Toho's has ever done that. We're all G fans here. Opinions welcome.

I'm sure he will once Godzilla 2 rolls around! I also think it'd be cool if they got in contact with pterosaur experts to help again, like with the Mutos.
Title: Re: Godzilla
Post by: The Alien Predator on Nov 11, 2016, 03:48:50 AM
That King Ghidorah picture looks AMAZING!

Yeah, I'd love to see a slightly redesigned Rodan. Godzilla is redesigned to no longer be as "upright" as he used to be, he is much less stiff. So perhaps Rodan can have different poses. In some scenes he walks on all fours like Pterosaurs, but before a fight, or when he tries to do an intimidation display, he stands up on his hind legs and spreads his wings to appear bigger and wider. It'd give him that beastly element displayed by real animals doing territorial displays. Godzilla does his roar and poses, Rodan can do something similar but unique to his species.

I swear it gets HD after the 30 min mark.

I tried to give it a chance but that was one of the worst camrips I've seen in years. I just couldn't watch it in that manner. I'll wait for a better release to show up.

I hope Godzilla wont be  "good" again.

Godzilla = Destroyer
Kong = Guardian

And then they will work together against Ghidorah, Destroyer of worlds.

I believe it'll be the opposite, actually. Godzilla is the one that restores balance and has already been unofficially named "The Savior".  And since humans went to King Kong's house and started dropping bombs and killing things, he's going to want to return the favor.

It'll be interesting to see how the two of them become allies. I'm guessing a beautiful blond will be a part of it.

Those angles impact the perspective.  Godzilla is still 250 feet taller than Kong.  But this is a young Kong, so hopefully he'll grow.

Godzilla is basically a dinosaur.  Kong has a history of beating the crap out of dinosaurs. I see no reason why a scaled up Kong couldn't handle G in a purely physical battle. G's atomic breath is his only advantage.

Post by: Tangakkai on Nov 27, 2016, 02:08:47 PM
First of all, I think they will simply scale kong up for the VS-Movie... and from there on it's pretty much a fair fight. Sure, Godzilla has the breath, but we all know that will not stop Kong because of "Script". Since Kong is the humanoid being in the clash, he will probably win the fight or it will be a tie. Can't see a hollywood exec going: "The big japanese lizard has to win against the American Guy."

I have to say that I enjoyed the 2014 Godzilla to shin. Shin was just a bit to far from Godzilla in my opinion. I liked how they were trying to revive the creepy feel of the original but this shin godzilla just did not remind of Godzilla. Some of the effects were a bit shoddy too. The soundtrack was spot f**king on and the camera angles were noice. The politics were an interesting aspect that wore out its welcome after awhile for me. The 2014 movie although it had to pander to the wider audiences still seemed like a classic Godzilla flick I mean come on they actually fought other monsters. Then again the original was humanity vs Godzilla as opposed to the monster mashes that would define the series.

My favorite theory about the tail at the end -
http://www.idigitaltimes.com/shin-godzilla-ending-explained-whats-those-last-shot-skeletons-spoilers-562623

They're not absorbed, mutant humans or offspring - they're his fifth form. He's going from a massive, powerful individual to his own version of 'lone wolves, nerds, troublemakers, outcasts, academic heretics and general pains in the bureaucracy' like the humans that defeated him.

See now come on what the hell is that? 1954 Godzilla was nothing like this creature. Jus because its on steroids does not mean it is good. Still prefer the 2014 version. It just felt to me as a modern, western version of the original with up to date styles and effects. The characters in shin were just bleh to all hell, EXTREMELY awkward for a lot of the movie. I did appreciate many of the old sounds from da original being used though.

^ I would try sticking that back in a spoiler.

Godzilla vs. Biollante introduced way back in 1989 that Godzilla's cells have unusual properties (his impenetrable hide, healing factor, corrupting other lifeforms, etc.). A few years earlier Return of Godzilla (1984) showed that Godzilla in fact metabolizes radiation as an energy source. These have been in play more or less since then, but not until Shin Godzilla has a film in the series explored these in further detail. Rather than his cells creating another monster for him to fight, Godzilla and his bizarre, potentially apocalyptic biology alone is the enemy in this film.

There are a few shots where the CGI quality kind of slips. I think the biggest problem with the dodgy shots is that Godzilla doesn't feel like he weighs anything in them.

They are balanced out though, because even when it doesn't look perfect the visuals are still hugely impactful thematically and narratively.

Very, very excited for you to see this Omega.

I honestly don't think they will take their time & will cram all the monsters in 1 film as they already have a deadline to make Godzilla vs King Kong. So yea, I have a feel its all gonna be rushed a bit. Honestly though, I look forward to another Shin sequel than I do for another US made one.

Didn't they say that they had around 5 Toho monsters?

I remember someone listing them.

1 - Godzilla.

2 - Rodan.

3 - Mothra.

4 - King Ghidorah.

5 - ??? (possibly saved for the third film if the other three new monsters are to be in Godzilla 2.)

Quote from: XenoZipper on Nov 29, 2016, 07:00:24 PM

I have a feeling that when Toho does their next film, it'd either be a new standalone or start a new series. I think Shin is done in the same way GMK was done. That one had a scary looking Godzilla and also a very different feel (how the monsters were more supernatural, with G being the souls of WW2 soldiers) and the ending was left for a sequel by showing his beating heart. Although we never got the sequel.

You never know though, they might do another Shin. But I doubt it. I think when they do more, it'd probably follow the more usual formula of giant reptile fighting another monster. I hope we get that, it'd be cool to see some modern suitmation vs fights.

Speaking of monster fights, behold Shin Godzilla vs Legendary Godzilla...  :laugh:

Why? GVK isn't a deadline this is a "Kaiju Cinematic Universe" they don't have a Three Film Limit.

Also, I thought Shin's characters were some of the most entertaining and developed characters in the whole franchise.

Hey, g2vd and Gilfryd.

Since you guys are more informed, I want to ask you two if Legendary has plans to make more films on Godzilla? I heard it was originally planned to be a trilogy but some time ago, I was hearing hints that there could be more, not people explicitly stating there'll be more though.

How long would Legendary's rights to Godzilla last?

So from what I gather, we get:

Godzilla 2014.

Kong Skull Island 2017.

Godzilla 2 2018 2019

Godzilla vs Kong 2020.

And a third Godzilla film.

The bolded bits is what I think would be classed as the Legendary Godzilla trilogy, if there's still plans for that.

If or when the rights expire back to Toho. I really hope Legendary's Godzilla becomes his own character in the Toho universe. Like how Zilla is. I think it'd be amazing. I also think Toho would treat Legendary G with a lot more respect and he'd probably team up with Toho G with occasional fights between the two but no clear winner. We already sort of had this with the recent Godzilla game.
Title: Re: Godzilla
Post by: Nightmare Asylum on Nov 29, 2016, 09:59:06 PM
Currently Godzilla, Kong: Skull Island, Godzilla 2, and Godzilla vs Kong are the only confirmed films. Assuming they continue to be successful there are bound to be more films beyond that. Perhaps Godzilla or Kong, perhaps solo films involving the other monsters Legendary has the rights to (King Ghidorah, Rodan, Mothra), perhaps even movies about monsters that are entirely new creations. I mean, there's nothing stopping them from doing that.

We also have to remember the film was made on a fraction of the standard budget most Hollywood films have. Honestly I feel the stylistic edge the film has supersedes any technical shortcomings. It's very much a live action/tokusatsu/anime triple threat.

As for Legendary's stuff, so far we have Godzilla (2014), Kong: Skull Island (2017), Godzilla 2 (2019) and Godzilla vs. Kong (2020). They've also announced rights to Mothra, Ghidorah and Rodan, although it's unknown if all three will be appearing in Godzilla 2. It's rumored Michael Dougherty (Trick r Treat, Krampus) will be taking over G2, so it might be him or Skull Island's Jordan Vogt-Roberts helming Godzilla vs. Kong. Who knows from there.

I wouldn't count on any solo films from Toho kaiju besides Godzilla, If any more appear, they'll be tagging along with him.

Good posts lads.

Sometimes I get the feeling that King Kong vs Godzilla might be treated as a third in the Legendary trilogy but I doubt it as they planned a Godzilla trilogy before the crossover plans were announced. It might be that spin off movie that's part of the universe.

I'd love to see Legendary G appear in the IDW Godzilla comics.  I liked Zilla's appearance and how he behaved a lot like Zilla Junior from the Animated Series. I lost count how many times I've seen the entire series from start to finish, must've been around four or five times. ;D

Legendary could work great as an animated series. Have MONARCH be like H.E.A.T. with Dr. Serizawa studying Godzilla like Nick did. MUTOs can play the roles of the Mutations from the cartoon. Only instead of Godzilla protecting Serizawa like Zilla Jr did with Nick, it'd be Serizawa's team following Godzilla around the world as the Alpha Predator stalks and hunts his various prey items from a bygone ecosystem.

I think I mentioned this some pages back, I'm not sure but I'll mention it again. I'd love a Walking with Kaiju documentary that shows us Godzilla's old ecosystem and has a cool narrator describing the wildlife and what's going on. Seeing Godzilla's species explored would be epic.

An animated series would be interesting but don't forget there already is a new animated series dated for next year. No ideas on the plans for it but it may just as well follow your Monarch idea. I'd be okay with new monster creations as long as they're more interesting than the MUTOs. I really didn't like those as a creature design & just as a monster, it was very unimaginative so I could do with never seeing them ever again. I've yet to sit down to watch the 90s animated show. I've watched first 2 episodes so far but I find it difficult to get into the show being based on my least favorite Godzilla movie/design. One day I'll try watching it again.

They're not absorbed, mutant humans or offspring - they're his fifth form. He's going from a massive, powerful individual to his own version of 'lone wolves, nerds, troublemakers, outcasts, academic heretics and general pains in the bureaucracy' like the humans that defeated him.

Title: Re: Godzilla
Post by: XenoZipper on Dec 01, 2016, 04:42:29 PM
I think the rights already & always belonged to Toho & it was just Legendary/IDW leasing the characters. I know Toho hated the first American made Godzilla but I honestly have no idea what their thoughts are on 2014. I don't hate the 2014 movie but I don't think it's all that great either. Maybe if the humans were even slightly likable, I could have been more involved into the movie but they were so boring & cardboard that it made all their scenes (which there were a lot of) hard to watch & I just sat there clock watching waiting for G to show up for a matter of seconds before going back to boring human stuff again for the next hour or so before getting the final battle at the end. I just want more G in the next installment & better human characters.

I do fear though that if they try to cram in Mothra, Rodan & Ghidorah into the next one, that it's going to make Kong vs G pretty lackluster going from fighting this bad ass 3 headed lizard to fighting a smart ape. I dunno, Ghidorah should be saved for either a G3 or something that Kong & G would have to team up together with to take out but not before Kong & G meet. Just my opinion on it.

I can't find the exact quote but that person said it reminded them of the Godzilla films of their youth. They were overwhelmed that an American film 'got it.' Shinji Higuchi (Shin Godzilla co-director) also liked the film.

If these quotes are true, then there's no way Shin's gonna be that formidable...

Spoiler
QuoteAlso, 2016 is the only Godzilla to be very noticeably damaged by non-nuclear weapons (G-Blood splattered everywhere). Just playing devil's advocate.

QuoteAu contraire Legendary G has a hideous durability advantage as Castle Bravo caused it no permanent damage so assuming it has regent like a human it couldn't have suffered much more than 1st degree burns. Shin Goji on the other hand is not just hurt but seriously hurt by bunker busters. It's also harmless up close.
Best Goji closes on the rejected angel suffering little to no damage from the lasers and proceeds to rip him apart. The ugly mess can barely walk.

QuoteI watched the movie today, so this is pretty fresh. Shin G turned out to be pretty weak by Godzilla standards. He could tank most conventional weapons thrown at him but he ended up being wounded by bunker busters. His atomic breath's best feat wasn't on par with the Castle Bravo nuke that Legendary G tanked, and Shin G goes into a coma for 15 days after using it in order to recharge. Plus, Shin G is almost immobile compared to Legendary G. Once Legendary G closes the gap, which he should have no problem doing, there's nothing Shin G can do to stop Legendary G from breaking him in half.

QuoteAfter seeing the movie, my initial gut reaction says that Legendary takes this. His durability is on a completely different level. Shin got wrecked by bunker busters and probably would have been completely destroyed by the B83 had it actually been used.

I haven't seen the movie yet, and from the trailers I thought Shin seemed very indestructible. He wasn't even flinching when being fired upon so I figured he'd be very challenging for Legendary G, especially with his laser attacks.

But Legendary G tanked Castle Bravo, he also tanked the meteor that caused the Permian Extinction in "Godzilla: Awakening" prequel comic.

If the quotes above about Shin are true, then it's not going to be as one sided as you or that picture make it seem like. It'll be an interesting fight though.

Shin G was hurt by bunker busters but immediately after that he lashes out with this atomic beams. They made him worse by bombing him, so nuking him would only crank that up to 11. In the end the characters defeat him by outsmarting him, forcing him to deplete his energy reserves and collapsing buildings onto him to wear him out.

Similar things happen in G2014, although that was Godzilla vs. monsters rather than G vs. humanity. He's worn out by fighting the MUTOs and a building knocks him to the ground. 2014's 'Hurrah!' moment was the 'kiss of death', 2016's was mankind's victory over Godzilla.

Considering those bunker busters were Massive Ordnance Penetrators which can pierce two hundred feet into the ground before exploding they are far from being "just conventional military weapons." Plus it's generally believed the red flesh on Shin Godzilla's back is a tad weaker than the rest of him since those are exhaust ports for his heat. Impressively enough he regenerated from said wounds in what appeared to be seconds.

As with the trains, them knocking him down his simple physics. Anything hit with enough force with go down, and those trains had explosives powerful enough to lift some of them up near his face. He wasn't hurt by them at all, physically, just knocked down.

Yeah, indeed! People trying to say Shin was weak just like 98 is pretty dumb to be honest. and actually considering when you realize it with the exceptions of any cool Super Weapons and other stuff most military attacks with very notable exceptions on Godzilla are actually really, really underwhelming especially in the Heisei series where all they mustered up were Tanks and Jets.

And the fact that despite the Tide of blood the face he was generally unharmed from that terrifying onslaught speaks VASTLY about this version's durability.

Of course in a actual fight excluding any Heisei enemies he would get beaten down by generally by a lot of the more powerful Godzilla villains due to the fact he runs out so fast.

Still wouldn't it be awesome to see him go against the original Mechagodzilla?

Good points, and physics will definitely come into play. Speaking of which, someone said Legendary is heavier (I can't find anything on the wiki about Shin's weight) so he might be able to find it easier to wrestle Shin down if he manages to close the gap, his more dexterous hands would help.

Legendary Godzilla is 90,000 tons, I haven't found anything pertaining to Shin Godzilla's weight, at best I would assume he's heavy though.

Spoiler
Honestly I'm not sure if Legendary Godzilla would overpower Shin Godzilla super easily, granted we've never seen him apply his strength against other kaiju but he has demonstrated some solid feats of strength. During the Yashiori Strategy they brought some skyscrapers down on him, all of which were taller than him. Two struck him on the back and this only seem to stagger him, it took two (maybe three) to the head just to knock him over and even then it only stunned him for a few minutes. The average skyscraper weighs at least 222,500 tons...

Plus he basically punted a large portion of a bridge by simply walking into it.

I think Shin Godzilla looks extremely weak and would not last in a long drawn out brawl with any of the heavy hitters of the Godzilla films.

Spoiler
hurt by bunker busters instead of tanking them has piqued my interest. Him transforming into new things is his way of evolving to combat new tactics against him. Like how Doomsday in the DC comics evolves against every method that killed him previously.
[close]

I liked 2014 and 1998 because they were vulnerable and were able to be overpowered by things and one even got killed. Something that's too overpowered does get boring for me.

It's one of those reasons why I like Alien and Predator, even we'd have a chance against them if we're given the right opportunity, but the chances are stacked in their favour.

I think Shin Godzilla looks extremely weak and would not last in a long drawn out brawl with any of the heavy hitters of the Godzilla films. The only advantage he seems to have is a powerful kick to the atomic breath, but that doesn't always work on certain creatures. Destroyah or Biollante would tear this G to shreds.
WHAAAAT?? WEAK???

which is why the Godzilla sucks ass. Invincible monster are not very interesting to me at all. Godzilla is the king of monster and a badass but he should always be kill able.

We dont know yet if he isnt kill able

My opinion:

G2014 is one of the WEAKEST Godzilla EVER, and SHIN GODZILLA one of the Most Powerfull.

So you're telling me he only has weight like the Heisei Godzilla? so you are telling me all his strength, durability and stamina is worthless?

I mean Legendary easily tanked one of the most impressive Military Attacks ever put in a Godzilla film and was only affected by the sheer force of the blasts before ripping through a entire Golden Gate bridge section. to say nothing of the fact he was only miniorly bothered by a frigging enormous Building crashing down on him and having a building collapse on Godzilla has generally KO'd every version prior for quite a significant amount of time.

The most lovely thing about this work is the breath effect seems to use the same tones of green as the poster title. Good work.

I'd love to see this Godzilla again, unaltered or perhaps with a couple little tweaks, in a new movie or comic book or what have you. Wouldn't have to be connected with the 98 film, just say the same "creature actor" in another Godzilla role.

Well the same design for the 98 film has been used for the Zilla monster In Rulers Of Earth and Oblivion.

They would have been defeated easily by most of the Kaijus (NOT MECHAS) that already exist in the series.

No defense.
No weapons (only that electric fart >>against machines<<).

Summary:
G2014 its a natural and realistic creature and for that reason has those weaknesses. You are defending it with realism.

And the SHIN LASERS are like concentrated sonic rays of Gyaos, but much more powerful since it is concentrated radioactive flow, they are much more powerful. And naturally those rays are SOOOOO more powerful than the "blue flamethrower" (literal) of G2014 ...

SHIN >>> g14

+SHIN GODZILLA bonus:
Ability to evolve into a more formidable fighter
Unquantified weapons capacity
Extreme defense (Todos los misiles le rebotaban sobre el except en 2-3 puntos sobre su espalda.)
The only way to defeat him was not to kill him because it was almost impossible, they had to freeze him alive.
More strength than g2014 in its tail

G2014 its just Gamera with a costume.   :laugh:

The idea was to make three films but there was no set-up plan for an overarching storyline. A script treatment was done by Tab Murphy for the second installment but it never got beyond that because the project got frozen in development hell until the rights expired in 2003.

There are a few interviews floating around with Patrick & co. throwing around ideas including making versions of Mothra and King Ghidorah for further installments. I recall nothing on a "Godzilla Apocalypse" scenario though, but that's essentially the whole thing with the first one -- which I still think is a brilliant elaboration on the original theme -- having to stop the things from spreading to the world.

It's not a problem as the average Joe isn't aware that there are almost 30 godzilla films in existence.
I like the title, immediately hailing him king as it should be. No regular cinema going person is even aware of a film with more or less the same title 50 years ago. Let alone that any of them will want to watch that film with it's shoddy effects and black and white cinematography.

I never saw the problem as I always state the year of the film. Like Godzilla 2014 for the latest one of that title. But I can see why outside of us Godzilla nerds, the Average Joe isn't familiar with the year releases as most of us are.

It's not a problem as the average Joe isn't aware that there are almost 30 godzilla films in existence.
I like the title, immediately hailing him king as it should be. No regular cinema going person is even aware of a film with more or less the same title 50 years ago. Let alone that any of them will want to watch that film with it's shoddy effects and black and white cinematography.

That's true. Godzilla 2014 wasn't confusing people that much, the closest I came was some people assuming it was a sequel to the 1998 film. But no one was talking about why it's got the same title as the others titled "Godzilla."

Just like how there being three films called "Godzilla" is confusing to people.

What three? There's only 2, 98 and 2014.

And im not talking about theaters, of course, you are not going to the  movies and are going to ask for the freaking 56 film.

I mean, there may some people that do end up getting tickets for the wrong film is some one shows the old one close to release date, but that would be an extreme minority.

The original Japanese cut of the original film is just called "Godzilla" in English speaking countries.

Like how they released the original Godzilla alongside the 1998 and 2014 films and people went to the wrong movie.

I really, really don't think this title will be at all confusing to anyone.

sigh.... this is going to lead to an endless amount of confusion between the two films. Yes i know there is a one word different.

They really couldn't come up with something unique? This read like 100% marketing involved.

I'm with you on that as well. I think it's kind of a lazy title & think they could have come up with something better. I'll just call it Godzilla 2 to make things simple.

That's one thing I'm getting sick of doing is constantly stating the years for movies so a person knows which one I'm referring to. With the amount of remakes that have come out over the last decade, it gets tiring (for me anyway) to constantly have to say, "the one from the 80s" or "the original one" to which more times then not, I get a response of "I didn't know there was an original one". I don't even call Godzilla 2014 by that name. At the time of its release I just called it "the newer Godzilla". Now I just call it "the 2nd American Godzilla".

Not to nitpick but the 54 film's title is Gojira and the American version is Godzilla, King of the Monsters. Most fans will refer to it as either "the original Godzilla" or in my personal taste, "Godzilla 54" or "Gojira" if I'm speaking to a fellow G buff.

I refer to Legendary Godzilla as one of 2 things, "Legendary's Godzilla" or most often "Godzilla 2014." The series does not suffer from naming schemes at all. But I do agree they could have tried a bit harder on the next Legendary film. BUT... the name has significance to the film's plot and the future installments to set a precedent: Godzilla is the King of [the] Monsters.

Post by: Gilfryd on Dec 18, 2016, 10:41:39 PM
Toho anglicized Gojira into Godzilla themselves when they began offering the original film overseas. That's always been the official English language title for the 54 film. King of the Monsters was added by the American distributors to zest it up. Toho liked it too so even they began using the title to refer to him.

When it comes down to it four films have used the title Godzilla. After the 54 film, the next was the 84 comeback. The international title is Return of Godzilla (which is used on DVDs/Blu-rays), and when the decision was made to bring back Raymond Burr for the American version (KOTM style), Godzilla 1985 was the chosen title. But if you look at the Japanese opening credits, the film is just called Godzilla.

The next two are the American adaptations (98, 14). Simple franchise/brand name film titles are in vogue now so the subtitle King of Monsters for the 14 sequel shouldn't be that surprising.

I'd like to see movies go back to being numbered again. Not just for Godzilla movies but just in general. For someone like me that likes to have all his movies alphabetized, it bugs my brain putting certain movies together in their chronological order but the titles aren't. Just a personal thing most likely but I'd like to see numbered titles come back.

The only issue with that arises in the world of prequels we live in. It's not so simple as Star Wars where they added the numbers later and it worked because they started with Episode 4. If I may, I think the more unique the title, the better. Take Lord of the Rings for example. When you speak of LOTR, you can reference Fellowship, Two Towers or Return of the King and people know it's LOTR. Likewise, you can speak broadly about the franchise and you don't need to reference the events of a particular movie but if need be, you have a specific title that relates to the main plot or scenario that plays out.

Only due to the newness of it. In no way does Shin detract from any of the other films.

Btw, I see it's coming to Bluray in March... in Japan. Any word on US release date, if any?

I've been wondering some of those things too.

Something tells me that Shin Gojira is more like GMK, that standalone film.

GMK gave its own twist to Godzilla and the monsters, while also keeping Big G quite horrifying looking.

Shin has a similar tone and because we don't know anything about him, he might even be supernatural like GMK Godzilla.

Next one might explore Shin more, or it might go back to the usual Godzillas we get and possibly have another monster.

Thanks PRJ :)

the design is entirely functional to the story Anno & co wanted to tell. But it seems to have quite the success and it seems to be becoming the new face of the series with the upcoming Universal Japan 4D attraction and all those TV spots and ads

no idea if they will be continuing Shin's story, the way the film ends seems to be self-contained with a twist last-second ending which in many ways echoes horror stories of old (Poe, Lovecraft, etc) which I doubt is intended as a sequel hook. The film is doing really well so another film is surely down the road (they've already announced an anime version). Whether it'll be directly connected with this one or not remains to be seen, with the Millennium series they did a cluster of separate continuities and with Heisei they did one. No idea

Thanks PRJ :)

the design is entirely functional to the story Anno & co wanted to tell. But it seems to have quite the success and it seems to be becoming the new face of the series with the upcoming Universal Japan 4D attraction and all those TV spots and ads

no idea if they will be continuing Shin's story, the way the film ends seems to be self-contained with a twist last-second ending which in many ways echoes horror stories of old (Poe, Lovecraft, etc) which I doubt is intended as a sequel hook. The film is doing really well so another film is surely down the road (they've already announced an anime version). Whether it'll be directly connected with this one or not remains to be seen, with the Millennium series they did a cluster of separate continuities and with Heisei they did one. No idea
You're quite welcome.

I would personally love to see a Millennium series style of some more standalone stuff.

Synopsis:
QuoteSince Godzilla's first attack in 1954, mankind has been under constant threat from gigantic creatures known as "Superfauna" - animals mutated by the coming of the nuclear age and man's abuse of the atom's destructive power. Humanity was united against a common foe and for almost 60 years, worked collectively to study and combat the creatures as millions died, cities crumbled and the world's economy continued to collapse. Now, the world seems to finally be bringing the threat under control. Jack Martin is a correspondent for United World News and the grandson of Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Steve Martin, who's riveting coverage of the 1954 raid on Tokyo made him a legend. With his grandfather's shadow always overhead, Jack has spent his career attempting to forge his own legacy, showing great promise as a journalist before spiraling into depression. In the process, he has severely damaged both his reputation and his marriage to family friend, Kaori Ogata. Before leaving the agency, Jack decides to travel to a small pacific island with his life-long friend Mitch Lawrence, who now runs UWN's old newspaper division. While the two wait to attend a ground-breaking ceremony for a new building, Godzilla suddenly reappears after nearly 30 years of absence...and he hasn't returned alone. With the King of the Monsters' threat looming, Jack must decide whether to flee or finally embrace his heritage and report the attack as it happens - risking not only his life, but the lives of his best friend and his wife.

Godzilla: Heritage is beig helmed by Timothy Schiefer and Greg Graves, two New York based filmmakers with a passion for all things Godzilla. Their Kickstarter campaign raised almost $20,000.00!

that's because in the original the film is actually about Godzilla, so you feel the threat and menace even when he's not there; in 2014 Godzilla is a plot device or an addendum in a story where the MUTOs are the real plot drivers


(no, the fact the TOHO sequels did it doesn't justify a thingas 2014 was supposed to start over)



still, the fixation with screentime is pretty funny tbh, like the more screentime there is the better it gets

QuoteJapan Academy Nominations!

Shin Godzilla gets ten nods, the second most after serious human drama Ikari (11 nominations), featuring Ken Watanabe among others. I'm not sure of all of its nominations, but my source lists at least the following among its ten:

•Best Film
•Best Director
•Best Actor in a Starring Role (Hiroki Hasegawa)
•Best actress in a Supporting Role (Two nominations - Both Satomi Ishihara and Mikako Ichikawa)

The others are:
•Outstanding Achievement in Cinematography (Kōsuke Yamada)
•Outstanding Achievement in Lighting Direction (Takayuki Kawabe)
•Outstanding Achievement in Art Direction (Yuji Hayashida, Eri Sakushima)
•Outstanding Achievement in Sound Recording (Jun Nakamura, Haru Yamada)
•Outstanding Achievement in Film Editing (Hideaki Anno, Atsuki Sato)

Other Japanese Academy Prize nominations/wins for the Godzilla series:
•Godzilla vs. Biollante – Newcomer of the Year – Masanobu Takashima as Sho Kuroki (one of ten)
•Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah – Special Award – Koichi Kawakita and his staff
•Godzilla vs. Mothra – Best Supporting Actor nomination – Takehiro Murata as Kenji Andoh
•Godzilla vs. Mothra – Best Music nomination – Akira Ifukube
•Godzilla vs. Mothra – Newcomers of the Year – Keiko Imamura and Sayaka Osawa as the Cosmos (two of twelve)
•Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla 2 – Best Sound nomination – Kazuo Miyauchi
•Godzilla vs. Destoroyah – Best Sound nomination – Kazuo Miyauchi
•Godzilla vs. Destoroyah – Best Editing nomination – Chizuko Osada
•Godzilla (the character) – Special Award in 2005
•Godzilla (2014) – Best Foreign Film nomination

Bear in mind that the awards have only existed since 1978. Also, there is no category for visual effects (hence King Ghidorah's Special Prize).

They're his 5th form, he's trading a massive body for a collection of smaller ones. The movie plays on Godzilla's adaptive abilities, he reacts to weapons used against him and what humanity will try next. In the end he's defeated by humanity working together, and the lost shot hints at Godzilla attempting the same thing against humans in the future.
That's my favorite interpretation anyway.

She could make a great Mothra fairy! In all seriousness I'm intrigued to see what kind of role they have in store for her.

Edit: Could see them going the 90's Gamera route with Mothra, where she links with a human. Could definitely see her playing that role.

The audience or the fellow people in the movie? Actually, that would be the case either way lol. Everyone worships something. The fairie twins were never special in my eyes, they were just the tiny people who sung to Mothra.

This is going to be incredible, loved the serious tone of the first film. Hope they don't stray away from it. The cinematography was awesome, apocalypse done right. Godzilla himself never looked better.
Next up Kong, probably more fun/adventure film but doubling the monster action. I actually kinda hope for a Kong sequel before they will meet in 2020. Another option could be that Godzilla 2 will be the first part with Kong/Godzilla being the 2nd part. Meaning there will be an epic suspense build up before they eventually clash/ or work together to kill of a grander foe (f.e. Ghidorah)
This giant monster universe they are building are making me a little kid again. I actually love these monsters more than the predator and the alien I think.

Quote  He will reportedly play the father of Millie Bobby Brown's character in the much anticipated sequel.

It appears that Chandler's character will be central to the story, and that the sequel will take place through the perspective of this family. Variety also reported that the only cast member likely to return from the 2014 movie was Ken Watanabe.

I've actually never seen them. Worth watching? A lot of the Godzilla movies were a bit of a slog, especially early on, but I'm always looking for new Tokusatsu.

I've seen the original 60's one and the 3 remakes/sequels from the 90s. Especially the 90s one are recommended, very good special effects for the era.
As for the original run, it was mostly for very young kids so I have no interest in them, same goes for showa period Godzilla.
I'm only a godzilla fan from the Heise period onwards.

A crossover could be fun but to be fair I have no emotions concerning Gamera. I still think it's goofy a giant turtle that can fly but to be honest most Japanese monsters are kinda goofy  :D
That's why I'm such a big fan of the current American era, the monsters don't look goofy or particularly aimed at children, this is some serious stuff!

I really have no qualms with my figure. However, I do wish they didn't decide to come out with the flame breath effect as a separate unit. Going forward, hope they are all included.

Also, since this shared cinematic universe for the Legendary movies is happening, I made a video discussing some possibilities using a fan made timeline. Def a lot of fun to think about! Check it out and let me know what you think!

Hideaki Anno confirms next Shin Godzilla and Evangelion films!!

QuoteToday we attend the mind-blowing Shin Godzilla vs. Evangelion Symphony at Bunkamura Orchard Hall in Shibuya!

Anno graced us with his presence towards the end of the concert and announced that the next Evangelion film is on its way and that there will be a new Shin Godzilla film!

'Please expect the next installment of Shin Godzilla, and Shin Evangelion Gekijōban:||'

From August Ragone...
QuoteUnfortunately, the Japanese text you quoted is slightly off: シンゴジラの次回作及び、シン・エヴァンゲリオン劇場版: || にご期待下さい。Rather, it was 「ゴジラ」シリーズの次回作及び「シン・エヴァンゲリオン劇場版:||」にご期待ください。

"Please expect the next entry in the 'Godzilla' series and 'Shin · Evangelion Theatrical Version: ||'."

Whether this alludes to Toho's upcoming animated feature "Godzilla: Monster Planet" or a follow-up Anno film, is not clear. Seeing as the film was a box office hit and garnered some Japanese Academy awards, it wouldn't be surprising. But, it does not say it's a "Shin Godzilla" follow up or sequel, just the "next" in the "Godzilla series".

Speaking of those awards...

Godzilla Anime Is Film Trilogy Starring Mamoru Miyano (http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2017-03-25/godzilla-anime-is-film-trilogy-starring-mamoru-miyano/.113950)
QuoteThe full title of the first film is Godzilla: Kaijū Wakusei (Godzilla: Monster Planet). The official website describes the story:

The last summer of the 20th Century. That day, the human beings learn that they are not the only ruler of the planet Earth.
The appearance of the giant living creatures "Kaiju's" and the ultimate existence that destroys all monsters: Godzilla. Through the battle against kaiju's that lasted for half a century, human beings has experienced continuous defeat, and finally plans to escape from the Earth. And in 2048, only those who were selected by the A.I. managed under the central government boarded the inter-sidereal emigrant spaceship "Aratrum" to head for "Tau Cetus e", the planet beyond the distance of 11.9 light-year. However, the environmental condition differences between that of the Earth and Tau e, which they finally arrived after 20 years were far beyond the predicted numbers, and was not an environment considered to be habitable by human beings.

The young man on the emigrant ship: Haruo, who saw his parents killed by Godzilla in front of his eyes when he was 4 years old, had only one thing in his mind for 20 years: to return to the Earth and defeat Godzilla. Shut out from the possibility of emigration, as the living environment in the ship deteriorates, the group of "Earth Returnists" led by Haruo became the majority, and determines to head back to Earth through a dangerous long-distance hyperspace navigation. However, the Earth they have returned has already passed the time of 20,000 years, and has become an unknown world with the ecosystem reigned by Godzilla.

At the end, will human beings win back the Earth? And what will Haruo see beyond his fate?

Very interesting plot! I've always loved the idea of a Godzilla exploring a distant future long after humans have left it, and this is as close as it'll get to that. Plus an ecosystem of Kaiju would be almost like exploring what the "Age of Monsters" could've been like in the Legendary universe with all the Mutos running loose and stuff, this'll be a nice glimpse into such a world.

Oh man, I am so excited! And I'm not even that much into anime to begin with, but Godzilla is an exception just for this project.

New Monster Created By Shin Godzilla's Visual Team To Promote Japanese Tourism!

QuoteIn between Japan's main island and a southern island Kyushu, there is a strait of water that has an insanely powerful current. The new travel ad suggests that the current may be so powerful that it can stop a terrifying monster in it's tracks. The creative team at Shirogumi, who were the team that did the visuals for Shin Godzilla, created a brand new monster to show off this suggestion...

QuoteComing October 3, 2017 from Wesleyan Univ Press
(https://scontent-lax3-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/17203048_632966650227702_5775808681974162352_n.png?oh=0a4008491285a9ac97428ea60a9bed0d&oe=59682829)
QuoteIshiro Honda was arguably the most internationally successful Japanese director of his generation, with an unmatched succession of science fiction films that were commercial hits worldwide. From the atomic allegory of Godzilla and the beguiling charms of Mothra to the tragic mystery of Matango and the disaster and spectacle of Rodan, The Mysterians, King Kong vs. Godzilla, and many others, Honda's films reflected postwar Japan's real-life anxieties and incorporated fantastical special effects, a formula that appealed to audiences around the globe and created a popular culture phenomenon that spans generations. Now, in the first full account of this long overlooked director's life and career, authors Steve Ryfle and Ed Godziszewski shed new light on Honda's work and the experiences that shaped it—including his days as a reluctant Japanese soldier, witnessing the aftermath of Hiroshima, and his lifelong friendship with Akira Kurosawa. Ishiro Honda: A Life in Film, from Godzilla to Kurosawa features close analysis of Honda's films (including, for the first time, his rarely seen dramas, comedies, and war films) and draws on previously untapped documents and interviews to explore how creative, economic, and industrial factors impacted his career. The authors cover Honda's non-science fiction films for the first time in any language. Fans of Honda, Godzilla, and tokusatsu (special effects) film, and of Japanese film in general, will welcome this in-depth study of a highly influential director who occupies a uniquely important position in science fiction and fantasy cinema, as well as in world cinema.

Together, the authors have provided audio commentary tracks and produced supplemental material for numerous home video releases, including Ishiro Honda's Godzilla for the British Film Institute. They co-produced the documentary feature Bringing Godzilla Down to Size (2008).

The Man Who Was Godzilla (http://www.greatbigstory.com/stories/the-man-who-was-godzilla)
QuoteHaruo Nakajima is perhaps Japan's most famous actor, but you wouldn't necessarily recognize his face. That's because from 1954 to 1972, he was the man inside the Godzilla costume for 12 consecutive films. At 87 years old, many now consider Nakajima among the most iconic suit actors in film history. We caught up with the legend who gave life to the "King of the Monsters" to find out how he took on the challenge in the original groundbreaking movie.

Title: Re: Godzilla
Post by: nanison on Apr 12, 2017, 09:16:12 PM
Kong will beat the shit out of godzilla. He is much faster and can punch him silly. Godzilla with his shorter arms can't get close. On top of that Kong can use tools to hit more ferocious like an airplane or something.
But godzilla can take some punches with his massive body and legs and I think he'll inflict some major bite wounds before both call it even and f**k off to their lair. That happens about halfway in the film, after that they'll team up to beat the biggest foe they'll ever meet Ghidorah. 3 times the bite power of Godzilla, wings and an even bigger massive body.
They are still having difficulties with the 2 of them, only after Mothra shows up and starts spitting his stuff they get the upper hand.

So I finally saw Shin Gojira. What a refreshingly original giant monster flick it is. It's a fun satire with some monster mayhem in the background (sort of) perhaps it's comparable with Colossal (haven't seen that yet).
The climax isn't good imo but everything else worked fantastically. The creature design is questionable but I don't dislike it, perhaps apart from it's first fase which is incredibly goofy (maybe a nod the the old monster movies?). Godzilla doesn't have any emotion and he is barely able to move but the makers of the film were still able to sell it to me and quite convincingly so.

As far as recent big monster movies go I rank them this: Godzilla 14 - Shin Godzilla - Kong Skull island - Pacific Rim

Loved Shin Godzilla, it was awesome how they only concentrated on the government response like the 2011 Japanese tsumani and made it half-satire.  Given, the subtitles weren't good but I got the gist of it.  I liked Godzilla's look too (much better and a more classic look than the 2014 American Godzilla IMO), and the way he evolved.  And the part where he gains atomic power is the best scene in the film.

I won't compare it to the original Gojira which is a classic but this is right up there with Cloverfield, as being one of the best modern giant monster movies.

QuoteFamous Monsters Convention Dallas will be screening SHIN GODZILLA, courtesy of Funimation, for the first time in the US since its limited theatrical run last October (and the last time before an official Blu-ray release later this year). The screening will be followed by a special panel discussion with director Shinji Higuchi and special effects cinematographer Keiichi Sakurai. This much-anticipated event is being offered as a separate add-on to convention admission, and comes with one Yuji Kaida t-shirt per ticket, while supplies last.

It's a shame that the US fans have eclectic collections that are missing several of the films (unless they picked up the DVDs long ago, imported blurays from Japan or bootlegs).

Until the rights are collectively owned by one company, it'll never happen. Glad to see Shin is on its way for a legit BR release, such an awesome movie.

Figures, I buy the Hong Kong Blu-Ray and then they reveal a release date for an American Blu-Ray. XD

I don't regret it though, seeing this beautiful movie again earlier this month was worth it.

Just thought I'd share a Facebook post I wrote on Yoshimitsu Banno's passing:

"I am very saddened to learn of the passing of filmmaker Yoshimitsu Banno, one of my favorite directors, on May 7th of this month. His Godzilla film, Godzilla vs. Hedorah (better known in the US as Godzilla vs. the Smog Monster) has been an influence on me ever since I first saw it sometime between September and November 2002, and it has become my favorite film to feature my favorite character over my many years of fandom. It is the only work of Banno's I have seen, and I intend to rectify that soon if I can.
It had been a career/artistic dream of mine to collaborate with Banno on a follow-up to the film - Banno had had several ideas for a sequel over the years, including one set in Africa (for which Banno produced several documentaries and crisis awareness videos) and the other for an IMAX short film featuring a pink-tinged update of the Smog Monster (the concept eventually evolved into the most recent Hollywood film). I would have loved to help bring them to life, and contribute my own passion for Godzilla, environmental issues, and experience in Ethiopia to the mix.

With its strong ecological message, Hedorah is a wonderfully vibrant, bizarre, and sincerely meant film that uses a variety of unusual techniques to portray both an upbeat child-like view of the world and a horrifying visual portrait of the effects of pollution and the failure of humans to stop it. By turns wacky and somber, optimistic and skeptical, the film conveys a clear vision in the directing and storytelling choices. Its portrayal of Godzilla is as close to ideal as possible for the series in that era, as a hero figure and protector of Nature. And yet it harkens back the most of all the classic-era films to the original movie's anti-nuclear, humanist bent, even featuring several visual callbacks to the earlier work.

As divisive a film though it is, I wish more films were as bold and offbeat and deeply felt as Godzilla vs. Hedorah. But then, I suppose that would make Banno's work less unique. And Yoshimitsu Banno deserves to be celebrated as a singular person and artist for the many years to come. Starting now.

RIP Banno-san. Thank you for all these years of inspiration. My thoughts go to your friends and family."

The director has stated in a response to a fan he is planning on modifying the design of Godzilla in Toho's style. Check out his Twitter for the post https://twitter.com/Mike_Dougherty

Hopefully no drastic changes or it just won't fit with the other films for me.

This isn't Toho who had an excuse for changing their designs due to the suits degrading over time.

With minor tweaks it will be easy to explain in-universe why he looks a bit different. He has woken up and become more active. You know how when you wake up, you are very slightly taller in the morning because of gravity etc. Those kinds of subtle minor tweaks.

I don't think it'd fit with the chronology and consistency to have him suddenly have huge maple leaf white spines and massive feet. And people need to shut up with the "he's fat" crap, look at the obese Heisei design with those extra THICC thighs, at least Legendary has a six pack lol.

Unfortunately that seems to be the case.

And I see comments from those fans who want the "white spines" too.

I think whitening Legendary's back spines would just look wrong. I saw an edit and it looked lame as the spines are designed more like tree barks to blend with his back and not white maple leaves. Gareth Edwards designed his Godzilla perfectly and I honestly think there doesn't need to be any drastic changes like feet or spines. He is believable and realistic here.

I'm not subscribing to the "human reactions are realistic here, not the monsters" thing because then there's no point of giving him the gills to breathe under water and bronto feet to support the weight, is there?

You know how the 2014 Godzilla was designed in a way that if someone saw him, they'd go to Toho and describe his appearance, then Toho would make movies based off of this description.

I'm gonna look at the sequels like that. They're in-universe movies inspired by the MUTO incident.  :P That is assuming he goes through ridiculous design changes.

It's a good thing that Edwards ended his film with a definitive ending. It can easily be its own self contained movie and everything else is just fiction inspired on that one event just like all the Toho films are just fictions in-universe inspired by someone witnessing him swimming.

I remember Legendary mentioning that they intend to make the Godzilla movies a trilogy.

But with a crossover with Kong, this is becoming a possible quadrilogy. How many films do fellow fans think Legendary should make?

I ask this as there's an interesting thread on Toho Kingdom asking this which got me curious what people here think.

Personally, I agree with not wanting this franchise to become another "Transformers". It would be ridiculous to get "Godzilla 10: Revenge of the Sharktopus."

I think it should be four films - Godzilla 2014, Kong: Skull Island, Godzilla 2: King of the Monsters, Godzilla vs Kong and Godzilla 3. (They can make some more Kong movies for the entire Monsterverse movies if they have more ideas.)

I mean, how many stories can you tell exactly anyway? Godzilla had MUTOS and sets up the world, Skull Island does similar with Kong, King of the Monsters will introduce some Toho classics, Godzilla vs Kong is gonna be a huge titanic battle and what will that leave us with? A possible Destroy All Monsters type film (as I recall Gareth Edwards mentioning he planned to do), it'd make sense though, all the monsters will be established by then so let the franchise end with the most badass bang of all.

And then let Legendary's rights go back to Toho who can then use Legendary Godzilla in their works like they did with the 1998 one (but I see Toho treating Legendary's creation with much more respect lol.)

I've been a die hard Goji fan ever since I discovered a VHS copy of Godzilla: King of the Monsters in a hole-in-the-wall video store way back in 1994. Then my Dad happened upon an Imperial Godzilla that they released when Godzilla 1985 was released (still have him too). I had a ton of Trendmasters toys and I have a few Bandai figures also.

Loved the 2014 movie. I was living in Virginia at the time it released and there was this great sushi place a block away from the theater, so I had some good sashimi before I saw it and had a blast. I think I saw it three times. I'm stoked about seeing the new one, but I hope they have a decent budget, because I don't want to see a corner of Rodan's wing and Goji's elbow. I want to see some Kaiju action on par with Pacific Rim (God bless you Mr. Del Toro). Hopefully it's up to snuff with the screen time.

Can't wait to see the update to his look for the next one, but I hope it's not too radically different.

Agreed, I hope they don't change Godzilla too drastically. I can definitely see them adding more details due to the improvements in CGI technology.

Quite frankly, there should be no change. CGI =/= suit, which degrades over time. Consistency seems to be cast aside for different merchandising opportunities...

Also learned a bit of tidbits from Higuchi like how Toho cannot make another live action Godzilla until 2020 when the license is (presumably) done with Legendary. He also made mention of how he did have an actual design for the first form in the film he had just forgotten to bring it with him.

He said they can't do a live action one, so I am guessing they're allowed to do an animated film since it's not live action.

Does this mean that Godzilla vs Kong is the last movie in the Legendary trilogy? Godzilla was planned to be a trilogy and when they announced the Kong crossover, I thought that was gonna be a bonus but it may not be the case as that movie's coming out in 2020.

Basically, Toho can't make another live action G film (whether it's a Shin sequel or not) until after Legendary's done with Godzilla vs. Kong in 2020 (and Legendary could always renew their rights for more appearances). The anime films swivel around this by being Netflix releases with theatrical issues in Japan only.

And it looks like both anime sequels release in 2018!

They should have saved King Ghidorah for after Kong vs. Godzilla. That should have been the coup de gras for the series imo. Unless they go ahead and make Pacific Rim part of the Monsterverse. It's not impossible. PR is predicated on the notion of interdimensional travel of monsters, so have interdimensional travel of monsters. I think making MechaGodzilla a Jaeger could work.

That anime looks fantastic. Can't wait to see more of it.

Loved the servum. I also loved the Goji design for this movie, but still to me Shin is the best. I just watched youtube videos about Godzilla and people rant about Legendary Godzilla vs Shin Godzilla. That's just ret*rded, especially some youtuber who always said things like "Oh, Legendary tanked castle bravo, but Shin got hurt by MOP bomb, so Legendary should just kill Shin with ease" bulls**t. I mean, why if you hate that incarnation why you should persuade people to claim that it's s**t?

Anime Godzilla revealed!

QuoteGodzilla is the largest life form ever recorded and possesses unique body tissue integrated with metal-like muscle fibers, which can generate a strong electromagnetic charge, to support his massive weight. The end result of natural selection on Earth, he originated from plant-based life and has gone on to survive 20,000 long years as a super-evolved living organism.

So, would you guys actually want to see those skeletal creatures Godzilla was trying to turn into have their own movie, or would that just be too much? I know some people really didn't like the mutation angle of Shin Godzilla, so I imagine that would be a hard no from them.

Good news guys! The Netflix Anime is officially announced to release on the site January 17! They have been showing it theatrically in Japan and were waiting for it to complete its run in Toho's theaters before releasing it.

QuoteThe time has finally come! If you have been waiting for Netflix to bring the first Godzilla anime film to your Netflix queue, then your patience has paid off. Toho has finally confirmed the film will be distributed worldwide on Netflix later this month.

Taking to Twitter, the page for Netflix Japan confirmed Godzilla: Planet of the Monsters was going worldwide this month. January 17 will be the date fans want to mark on their calendars. Netflix will begin streaming the film for worldwide markets in various dubs now that Godzilla has finished its theatrical run in Japan.

Well, the few web pages have been deleted and come up with a "404 Error Page Not Found," so that more than likely confirms the authenticity. It wasn't the full script, but somebody's impressions of the script. Normally I'd call it bunk, but the fact that pages are being deleted is too coincidental. The same thing happened with Ghostbusters 2016 when the editor leaked the entire run down. Everyone thought it was bad fan fiction until things were being deleted and it turned out to be the real deal.

Possible Spoilers Ahoy!!

Spoiler
Spoiler
Godzilla 2 is going to bring back the Oxygen Destroyer into the lore, but it's going to fail. In the Godzilla vs Kong description floating around, Kong has grown up - over 300 feet. He's dominating the Skull Crawlers ever since he killed the big one. The Skull Crawlers decide to flee the island and Kong swims after them. They end up on Infant Island, which is doing double duty as Monster Island (makes sense IMO). Kong sees Rodan flying around and encounters Godzilla shrouded in fog. Goji gives him a badass killer look and basically tells him to beat it. He sticks around for a bit until he sees Godzilla swimming away, so he follows him.

Serizawa is the head of "G-Team" and the government is taking control of Monarch, because the live and let live approach ended in disaster with tons of collateral damage. G-Team is responsible for developing the weapons that kill the monsters, which Serizawa isn't too happy with. Serizawa thinks that Kong could help fight the other monsters because of accounts of previous contact. He says that Godzilla is attacking mankind because of how we are hurting the Earth and that man is endangering every other thing on the planet.

Here's where the fight happens. Godzilla reaches Manhattan. He starts attacking the city. Classic Toho. He uses his atomic beam to set fire to a large part of the city. Kong arrives and feels sorry for the people. He remembers the people from before and knew that Colonel Packard (Samuel L Jackson) was one of the bad ones. Kong attacks Goji to try and help the people and the fight gets awesome. Godzilla is larger than Kong and Kong has to really put his all into it. At one point Godzilla hits him with his atomic beam and all but kills him. Lightning strikes Kong and revives him. Kong climbs the Empire State Building and beats his chest like on Skull Island, challenging Godzilla. He snaps off the top part of the building and tries to shove it down Godzilla's throat. Kong uses melee weapons like the tree against the Big One in Skull Island and hits Godzilla in the eye, pissing him off. The end of the movie is them falling into the water fighting. Godzilla swims off and Kong's body is left in the water.

I got more excitement from the Shin Gojira vs Shin Chan short from a few years ago. This was very underwhelming for me. The other monsters are a blip! No epic kaiju brawls?!

Edit: No wonder I'm so meh on this. Turns out that there's an amazing prequel novel in Japan with an epic roster of kaiju (Zilla and Biollante among others!!) and there's currently no plans for a translation that I can see. That just downright sucks.

I'm not a massive fan of Godzilla but I saw the anime on Netflix last night and started watching. Only about half hour in but I was enjoying it. Curious to see where they go with it. I assume this is set within the old Japanese continuity?

Godzilla: Planet of the Monsters is a pretty decent movie. I did like the story and I thought the animation was pretty good. The movie remind me of other anime such as Blue Gender and Attack on Titan. However the biggest issue with the movie for me was the human characters.

I felt no affection towards any of the characters and I found most of them to be boring. Overall, it was not a bad movie and I would suggest to check it out if you are a Godzilla fan. I hope the sequels will be better. I give the movie a 6/10.

I finished watching this last night. It was ok. Like I said I'm not the biggest Godzilla fan but I thought it looked interesting. Like Hellspawn28 said, none of the characters were particularly gripping and I didn't think the action was really interesting either. Perhaps it's just more for the actual fans.

I watched Godzilla: PotM last night with my partner, who never liked anything Godzilla but absolutely loved Shin Godzilla. We've seen a few of these CGI Netflix anime, and I remember Blame! being really beautiful, despite the low frame rate.

This... wasn't that good. The animation was really inconsistent. One scene would be on par with Blame!, while the very next would have completely static character models just moving their mouths, or sliding their heads around like robots. Godzillas model looked alright, but it barely ever moved. The last scene was okay, but I got the feeling they really couldn't animate Godzilla doing much more than walking and turning his head, so all the angles tried to hide him behind skylines and canopies. I don't think you actually see him touch any of the scenery, his legs are always obscured by the foreground or by the smoke.

That wouldn't be a problem if he was actually doing things, but he's not. It's the most dull, lethargic performance of any Godzilla movie I've seen, and I think I've seen all of them.

Regardless, the soundtrack was all over the place, the characters were incredibly generic, and the whole thing just reeked of anime melodrama. Such a shame, as the idea is really good! I hope episode 2 is an improvement, but this was just awful.

Reactions to recent Godzilla movies seem are all over the map on IMDb.
The Netflix "Godzilla" (AKA "Godzilla: Monster Planet" or "Godzilla: Planet of the Monsters") is rated at 6.2/10. But some people love it.

Same with Shin Godzilla which I saw with my son tonight. Your partner loved it.
But I'd put it lower than it's IMD 6.7/10 rating because of its uneven mixture of styles.

Frankly for a Godzilla movie in the last 20 years I've had the most fun watching "Godzilla: Final Wars".
But that's just me.

I didn't care for Shin Godzilla the first time I watched it, but now that I know what to expect, it's really grown on me. I don't really mind slow-burners, so all the investigative hoopla was relaxing to me. The only things that really bother me are the old sound effects and I believe a few really old music tracks that didn't seem to fit or match what I was seeing on screen. It was like playing audio from an old movie over a new one, it just didn't work. That and the googly eyes. Those were inexcusable. But other than that I really dug it.

I hope we get a sequel to this. It was a slow burner, and political, but by golly it was good to see the king tearing stuff up on his own. I hope we get to see an American Godzilla where he's the bad guy again. Even if Godzilla 2014 fights one of his own kind. Maybe a dark subterranean fight in a massive cave would be cool.

I rewatched PotM again yesterday and I still really enjoy it. I'm pretty pumped for the sequel, especially after seeing the new trailer. Also in one shot in the trailer it looks like Metphies is kissing Haruo so I'm thinking that there will probably be some kind of love triangle subplot in this movie which I really hope is handled well.

New article has appeared on Yahoo Japan stating Toho's big plans after 2020.
https://headlines.yahoo.co.jp/article?a=20180513-00000004-nikkeisty-ent

According to GigaBowserG on Toho Kingdom, the article includes the following information:
-They reiterate the strategy to produce movies every two years, preferably annually.
-They want to develop their own "shared universe", where monsters like Godzilla and King Ghidorah can appear in a setting similar to how characters like Iron Man and the Hulk appear together in Marvel movies, which can lead to solo movies for certain monsters.
Instead of following the traditional formula of, say, "Shin Godzilla" being followed-up by an obvious "Shin Godzilla 2", they want to create a long-term Godzilla world. For example, if Mothra were to appear in a movie, commercialization would center around her - not just toys, but also games and apparel.
-Due to Legendary and WB holding marketing rights, it has prevented Toho from producing things such as T-shirts or video games for foreign markets. In the future, such things will be produced in-house. They're hoping to branch out even further with more ambitious projects, such as creating theme parks in places like Los Angeles, or developing more Godzilla heads like the one in Shinjuku and allowing hotels overseas to have their own!
Regarding character licensing, after establishing Gojicon, they're setting out in a new direction. Up to that point, Godzilla tie-ins and appearances in media have been handled very strictly. However, they've come to realize that Godzilla's charm lies not just in his strength and intimidating demeanor, but also in his more humorous side, granting him a wider range of use with fewer restrictions, in turn increasing his audience.
-They want a Godzilla that can appeal to multiple generations, so there is the potential for the creation of books and animation that cater to children.
-At the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games, they hope Godzilla will welcome the world as a representative of Japan.

Ace, you're making my day with this Godzilla stuff. Anybody have any idea what that designation is in the lower left corner. I'm seeing "Titanus" or something to that effect. Titan for sure. Perhaps a scientific name for one of the creatures. Looks to be on land, so it's not a ship name. And seeing as there was supposed to be a fight in mexico, maybe it's Godzilla working his way back up. So they'll call him titanus or something?

The wait is driving me crazy. They're saying it will be more action heavy like Skull Island, and not an ominous "jaws" style movie like the last one. I thought it was rather good.

Beautiful. The movie can't get here fast enough. God I wish it was going up against Meg. What a month august would be.

That looks to be a submarine in the picture. There seems to be some people standing on it staring at him. Probably Vera and the kid featured in the other picture from the article. The lighting kind of matches.

I'm wondering now if mothra and rodan are going to team up with Godzilla to take on ghidora?

Seeing as how this is supposed to be a

He is pointed at the sky afterall. And there is some nasty weather going on there. Perhaps it's rodan causing it?

Serizawa sacrificing himself to revive Godzilla sounds like a cool inversion on the original film. Having him glow like he did in GvDestroyah would be a nice piece of fan service.

If the "all titans bow to Godzilla at the end" is true, it sounds pretty epic.

Baby Destroyah credits scene sounds dubious.

No chance in hell this will be R Rated. No need for that, you can easily show people getting stomped or crushed, or burned or eaten without being super violent. They need this movie to do gang busters.

It'll definitely carry that dark tone the first one had though. Which I really loved.

I hope so. It's good writing that allows you to have a deadly serious movie without needing an R-rating. Godzilla 2014 is one of those movies where the subject matter is treated with such a degree of seriousness and legitimacy, that I totally forget it's even PG13. Even the Halo jump scene was written and scored to such a degree that it felt almost too haunting to be in a movie with that rating.

But they did it right. The kid is not over-used and there is no need for gratuitous violence, as massive loss of life can be inferred from the sheer structural damage occurring around the beasts. Not to mention, you don't have to hear everybody and their brother yelling "f*ck" just to make me think I'm watching an R-rated film. The humans are mostly an evacuating herd. What they are experiencing and what they're saying can also easily be inferred by the destruction around them and the cataclysmic events they're trying to survive.

I do hope the dark tone is continued though. It's so refreshing to see it in todays market where you have pacific rim, the Jurassic movies, marvel films, etc. All with large creatures and big cgi fights and set pieces, but they're just so chocked full of humor that the gravity of the situation flickers in and out between the one-liners.

He's not Vulture, he's not Bumblebee, he's freakin' Godzilla. Sh*t's gonna burn.
Title: Re: Godzilla
Post by: MudButt on Jul 19, 2018, 05:38:37 AM
The two stills and that clip had a very serious and dark tone to them. It's probably the directors horror background creeping in there. I hope he stays with that seriousness throughout the film. I've got no issue with humor as long as it fits the world the movie sets up. The first Godzilla had very discrete humor and it worked. I think this movie has to evolve a bit but with Godzilla having a royal rumble with Rodan, Motha, and King Ghidora, and Mothra I doubt they will take a light approach.

Seems like they deliberately awake some of the big bois to face a larger threat (obviously Ghidora, I'd say). I think they'll follow thematically how nature will find a balance because of what we're doing to the planet, just like the first movie. Antarctica is probably melting during the events of this movie and awakens Ghidorah in the process. You'll probably get a battle between Chadzilla (boy's been pumping some iron for these past 4 years) and Ghidorah halfway through the movie and he gets his ass wrecked. Out of desperation, the humans set loose some of the other Kaijus for the Battle Royal of the century.

You can see some sort of explosives around the vulcano from which Rodan emerges, ence my little theory.

I thought the human stuff was fine in the last movie. Once Cranston was gone it left a huge void that just couldn't be filled but the monster was cool just needed a tad bit more and the final battle is really hard to watch in my home TVs.

I found the human performances to be just fine. Particularly Watanabe's. The kid didn't have a lot of lines and wasn't super smart. The wife didn't save the kid from the beasts. There really wasn't any cheesy dialogue. Nobody having any "Dammit Jim" moments. And as for Cranston, I wasn't counting on him to lead the movie anyway. It all seemed perfectly serious and well handled. A modern version of jaws. Just enough, but not too much monster, and effective character building. I've just only ever heard good things about it in person. But on the internet it's a whole different deal.

Could anyone who did have issues with the performances clarify what it was about the human aspect that was so negative?

The humans did nothing in the previous (American)  Godzilla movie until the last twenty minutes. And even then all they did was burn the eggs. Every scene with them was wasted time because not a single action undertaken by any character drove the plot. The Mutos woke up on their own, as did Godzilla. The Mutos broke free and started trying to meet up on their own. Godzilla went to intercept on his own.

Godzilla was a movie about two giant insects in love getting killed by some dickhead thunder thigh jock lizard, while some people stared dopily off the left side of frame. I could make a serious argument that the Mutos were the protagonists of that story,and it ended in a horrifyingly dark ending.

Godzilla was a movie about two giant insects in love getting killed by some dickhead thunder thigh jock lizard, while some people stared dopily off the left side of frame. I could make a serious argument that the Mutos were the protagonists of that story,and it ended in a horrifyingly dark ending.
The part where humans were unable to do jack shit was one of the neater parts of the movie. It added a realm of realism to a movie about giant monsters. I remember back when the movie came out having this similar argument where Ford was merely surviving each ordeal with out any superhero antics. Sure jumping out of plane, off of train tracks and perhaps getting more than a little lucky but it wasn't diehard levels of luck. Things a solider is trained to handle. Of course there was no way they had the time to get away from that nuke, but hey, it's just a movie.

Also if it weren't for the nukes, the muto's plan was to use Godzilla as the nesting site if I recall correctly. Being that they were "supposedly" the reason Godzilla is now a one of a kind kaiju. Of course perhaps that has all changed since the kaiju are now titans of old. None the less Godzilla had a reason to kill the muto's. That and if Godzilla minded his own business more than likely he'd have a thousand of those bastards after his ass the next go round. Can't blame the G-Man at all for ruining the romantic mood.

By that logic the colonial marines are dick heads for making Aliens an endangered species. :P

QuoteThe part where humans were unable to do jack shit was one of the neater parts of the movie.
That part was the first two acts. "Not being able to do shit" is not the same as "have zero influence on the plot". The film confuses the former with the latter and we end up with a cast of characters who simply waste space. Remove them, and oh, look -- MUTOS still wake up, still escape, still try to meet up, still tussle with Godzilla. You could cut the humans out of every single thing in the first two thirds of the movie and you change nothing in the central dramatic conflict.

The creatures have desires and goals that influence the story. The humans don't.

And sure, the Big G has a reason to stop the MUTOs -- but every good villain has a motive ;D

Humans not being able to affect or move the plot along is the point. For some reason I sense that you must have felt powerless for two acts of the movie.

Also The G-man is basically the Elizabeth Shaw of the Kaiju universe. No matter how honorable the intent, entire cities burn. :P

Not being able to fight the monsters is the point and that's fine. But not having any impact on the plot is just incredibly poor writing. If they're not contributing, the f**k's the point in them being there? They're just wasting space.

Every scene in a movie is supposed to drive a story forward. Every scene with human characters in Godzilla comprises exclusively of people looking like they're mildly constipated for a few minutes until another pretty creature shot rocks up. That is not driving the plot. That's just throwing in dead air long enough to save enough budget for the next spectacle.

In the 2014 movie it was very annoying to see Godzilla introduced in a bad ass way and cut immediately before a fight, two times in a row IIRC. It's like you're about to have an orgasm, but someone kick you in the nuts.

I thought Zilly 2014 just had way too many military scenes that were just plain 'ehhhh'. Too many technical jargons and sequences that didn't add up to much. Which would be fine, if handled well, they can't really do much against those kaijus but I never felt any connection from those segments to the actual main plot. It's as if they told the producers "you can use our assets but we'll write those scenes for you to be as accurate as possible". They just didn't land.

The family stuff is an improvement but once Cranston died, you're left with Jarhead101, PlainPhoneCallWife97 and DumbKid34 that also don't do much but react to what's happening. I think this could be better if you actually lived the consequences of all the destruction that was caused. I always felt the movie shined there (Tsunami sequence, SanFran bay attack, etc.) but you just follow bland characters doing bland things for too long.

I only watched the 2014 movie once and wanted to really like it but, as some of you already said, once Cranston bit the dust the movie just flatlines with the characters which usually I love Elizabeth Olsen but everyone, apart from Cranston, is pretty forgettable.

Supposed to be in 2020 but I have no idea how they're going to get people hyped for Kong after Mothra, Rodan, and Ghidorah. They're like primordial gods, Kong is a big monkey. I don't see how they're going to make it work.

I'm guessing the parents were killed long before they could've been Kongs age in modern times. The skeletons didn't seem any bigger than Kong was in Skull Island.

I'm just wondering if Kong's parents were supposed to be fully grown or not. Because they didn't seem to be any bigger than Kong was. Bless their hearts, if they could just keep growing as long as they were alive, (as I guess kong will have to) they must've died pretty young.

According to the comic after Kong's movie, the second expedition to the island states that he grew to the size of hangar, which can be around 200 feet. If true, he doubled in size in less than 20 years. Maybe he'll get close to 300 by the time he fights Godzilla.

They'll have some sort of difference in the first two-thirds of the film before some other creature arises and they've got to beat it together. Maybe they duke it out again at the end but at the end of the day it's two "heroes" going at it.

Reasonable enough. But this is basically saying this third monster just comes in to interfere, gets its ass kicked it, and then the two go back to fighting each other. I mean they could do that, sure, but it really just serves to devalue this third monster, as well as the entire fight between the two mains. I also don't agree with Godzilla being considered as a fixed "hero".

I'll give you points for acknowledging the continuity of the fight though.

Well that depends on how they write a third opponent into the movie. Assuming there will be one, we have no confirmation of that at all. I'm just speculating that they won't have these two fight the entire time resulting in the death of one. Bad writing is going to randomly introduce a third party to fight in the final act, good writing would set it up at the start and pay it off at the end. Just depends on what direction they take.

I think KotM is going to deal with whether or not people consider Godzilla a hero because of the damage he does cause even when he's fighting creature who mean to do harm to humanity. Same with Kong, he's technically a hero but he still killed numerous humans in his film because they provoked him.

I'm hoping for a smart reason for the two to fight and potentially team up. We'll see though. We're still two years away unfortunately.

I agree with the point on good writing, but consider the fact that this is intended to be a Godzilla Vs King Kong film. I therefore expect that the film would be centered around this as the core concept. This means that the third entity's backstory would necessarily have to fit the narrative of GvsKK. But that's the problem then. The classic Toho superstars have always had the film centered around them as the primary antagonists. Not only are the monsters themselves very well crafted, their backstories have massive potential (aliens trying to survive, monsters created from other monsters, having origins based on deadly weapons of mass destruction etc.) The stories such kaiju characters bring have massive potential. So why whittle all that down as a mere subplot in this one?

I have absolutely no problem if they bring whipping boys like a super-enhanced MUTO or a giant Skullcrawler because such monsters have very little to bring to the table in terms of narrative, nor are they even close to being as interesting as Toho's superstars. They are also Legendary's own creations. I'd like for the studios to simply leave the Toho big boys out of this, and not taint them with this Batman vs Superman / Jurassic World crap.

I completely agree with your points. If you title a movie Godzilla vs Kong, the movie should be Godzilla vs Kong. However, they have to be consistent with what the creatures have been up until now. By that I mean that each time they've had a foe they have fought to the death. Legendary will not let one of these characters die because that's a franchise ending, and they've already alluded to the fact that both Kong and Godzilla are the last of their kind. Of course this could easily be fixed (and probably will be) by some random plot line about a new member of the species being located underground or off in the world somewhere.

Good writing would bring in a creature that fits with the Kong vs Godzilla narrative. I don't think they'll bring in aliens because this universe has established these creatures as being from Earth from a very prehistoric time when they ruled it. They're going for a grounded approach rather than alien mutation, etc. Unfortunately, big blockbuster films like this need to have some baddies for these guys to beat down. Skull Crawlers, MUTO's, or a brand new creature created would be the best bet. Adam Wingard has stated in interviews that it's a bunch of monsters brawling it out which would seem to mean that there will be more than the two title creatures in the film.

I thought perhaps Ghidorah would be set up in King of the Monsters and end up becoming a primary antagonist in GvK but it looks like he's going to be pretty prominent in KotM. Whether or not he survives is the question we'll have to wait on an answer for. If they brought in another Toho monster it would need to be someone who could put up a fight against both of these two and with Ghidorah potentially being out of the picture it leaves a few options but who knows. Gigan or Destroyah could be options.

The director of KotM has confirmed that there are unannounced creatures in the movie and I've read a rumor about a post-credits tease for another classic Toho monster. I am not against either a new creature or an existing one showing up because we'd be fools to assume these two are not going to team up for a fight scene at the end. Perhaps it will end up being an army of generic creatures. Unfortunately I don't have too much faith in the director because he's put out some pretty bad movies recently so here's hoping the script is good enough to where he has a great idea to work off of.

Give me one example of any past Godzilla film involving the G teaming up with a titular opponent at anytime during the film. Won't be surprised if the point escapes you though.

What is the point then? The vast majority of Godzilla movies are already stupid to begin with, that's why they're fun to watch. Why would this be any worse than any other mid/late Showa era film?

Both monsters have already been portrayed as protectors of what's theirs. They only attack humans when provoked by them. They'll have some sort of difference in the first two-thirds of the film before some other creature arises and they've got to beat it together. Maybe they duke it out again at the end but at the end of the day it's two "heroes" going at it.

Reasonable enough. But this is basically saying this third monster just comes in to interfere, gets its ass kicked it, and then the two go back to fighting each other. I mean they could do that, sure, but it really just serves to devalue this third monster, as well as the entire fight between the two mains. I also don't agree with Godzilla being considered as a fixed "hero".

I'll give you points for acknowledging the continuity of the fight though.

Well that depends on how they write a third opponent into the movie. Assuming there will be one, we have no confirmation of that at all. I'm just speculating that they won't have these two fight the entire time resulting in the death of one. Bad writing is going to randomly introduce a third party to fight in the final act, good writing would set it up at the start and pay it off at the end. Just depends on what direction they take.

I think KotM is going to deal with whether or not people consider Godzilla a hero because of the damage he does cause even when he's fighting creature who mean to do harm to humanity. Same with Kong, he's technically a hero but he still killed numerous humans in his film because they provoked him.

I'm hoping for a smart reason for the two to fight and potentially team up. We'll see though. We're still two years away unfortunately.

I agree with the point on good writing, but consider the fact that this is intended to be a Godzilla Vs King Kong film. I therefore expect that the film would be centered around this as the core concept. This means that the third entity's backstory would necessarily have to fit the narrative of GvsKK. But that's the problem then. The classic Toho superstars have always had the film centered around them as the primary antagonists. Not only are the monsters themselves very well crafted, their backstories have massive potential (aliens trying to survive, monsters created from other monsters, having origins based on deadly weapons of mass destruction etc.) The stories such kaiju characters bring have massive potential. So why whittle all that down as a mere subplot in this one?

I have absolutely no problem if they bring whipping boys like a super-enhanced MUTO or a giant Skullcrawler because such monsters have very little to bring to the table in terms of narrative, nor are they even close to being as interesting as Toho's superstars. They are also Legendary's own creations. I'd like for the studios to simply leave the Toho big boys out of this, and not taint them with this Batman vs Superman / Jurassic World crap.

Everything you've said is valid. The point on the monsterverse being grounded on Earth based players is a hopeful one. That means a much much lesser chance of using the space-based superstars like MG and Gigan. I can see the team up being inevitable, but I really just hope the studios use something of their own as the side antagonist.

This is a question of the manner in which you derive enjoyment from said films. You enjoy them through whats presented purely at the surface level (which is fine, most people do). I enjoy the potential narrative that comes along with the film. Disregarding the obvious ones, there are a couple that have stupid elements, sure, but there's more to it than just that. Gigan himself, for example, has been intriguing, not simply by design but by virtue of an underlying narrative that the film in which he features does not fully explore but sets up in a way that I can derive enjoyment from (cyborg creature made from an unknown creature by hideous insect like extra-terrestrials). Where you only see the fun in stupid kaiju action, I see, in addition to this action, a sense of mystery and mythos in there which is fun to creatively ponder on. On top of that, he's the primary (and effective) threat to the protagonist.

If they were to put, for the sake of argument, Gigan as the third entity in a film which focuses on G and Kong, they would necessarily have to write him into the film in a manner where his underlying narrative would simply get washed down by being subordinate to the core of G and Kong's overarching narrative. The character himself would more than likely simply feel as a to-do item for the protagonists, instead of being the main antagonist around which the film could be centered.

You might get your surface level enjoyment, but the enjoyment I could derive would plummet severely.

I don't believe that's a valid precedent. The film was called Ghidora the Three-Headed Monster and the narrative was centered around him as the primary focus and threat. Ghidorah didn't show up in Godzilla vs Mothra as a side threat.

I'm just having a really hard time seeing any hype for GvKK after King of the Monsters. Who could they pull as a bigger threat than Ghidora? Destoroyah? I've always seen Ghidora as the ultimate antagonist for Godzilla, I never cared much for Destoroyah even though I was a bit traumatized by the events of that film as a wee lad haha

Also, what other kaijus could they include that are as iconic as Rodan and Mothra for it? Unless they live for the next one, others could be a tad underwhelming in my opinion. Hell, they could come up with new kaijus for all I care as long as the stakes are higher than ever.

It's just that this trailer is so apocalyptic that it really feels like the end of times.

Post by: Deathbearer on Jul 26, 2018, 02:59:54 PM
Okay you quoted like three people and I'm a lazy bastard so I'm going to just break this down

1. There is absolutely no deep narrative to be found in Gigan without extreme reaching. He looks cool because they wanted a monster with a buzz saw chest. If you want to ponder about his origin go ahead but don't pretend that it's anything more than what it actually is. He's just a cyborg in another aliens vs humans plot, only not one of the better ones. If building a mythos in your head is how you enjoy it then fine but that doesn't override me saying that most Kaiju movies are silly. Just look at Space Godzilla man, come on. Godzilla 1954 and Godzilla 1985 are pretty serious in tone but I didn't say all were stupid, but most are just monster fights.

2. Gigan only goes into tag-team matches. He's never had a proper 1v1 so I don't know why you're using him as the example here. He was born to job much like Anguirus. Not sure why Gigan's your guy but whatever, guess he was fun to use in the video games.

3. If your enjoyment lessens because of something like that then too bad because that's what they're gonna do. Guaranteed. At this point you might as well resign yourself to fate. Whether it's Destroyah or Mecha-Ghidorah or Space Godzilla or King f**king Caesar, there will absolutely be a third monster in GvK. If that stops you from speculating about Gigan's origins or trying to analyze the conflict or whatever the f**k you're doing then you might as well just stop with Godzilla 2.

Godzilla 1954 and Godzilla 1985 are pretty serious in tone but I didn't say all were stupid, but most are just monster fights.

As I've mentioned in my previous posts, the character's narrative has massive potential for an interesting story that can be told around him and the alien race who created him as primary antagonists. The original film set it up as such. I can tell you're thinking of something completely different when you say there's no "deep narrative" to be found (there isn't). I also never said you were wrong about the films being silly so no idea why you're shooting up on that point. I know G vs Gigan, G vs SpaceGodzilla etc. are silly, I clearly stated they have stupid elements in them. That much is obvious.

The point on tag teams is irrelevant. He was still the main antagonist, while the Nebulans, who were his creators, were the primary antagonist "aliens" in the film as opposed to him just appearing as a random like Ghidorah originally did. And holy shit, Gigan was just an example, but a valid one. You took that example and just ran off with it like hell. I could've just as easily used MG, the point would have been the same. He's been a prominent Godzilla villain. He's had a film with him as the main antagonist. He has had at least one other appearance (2004). You can't fully equate him to the likes of Anguirus who's always been a side character (even considering GRA), mainly just as an ally of Godzilla's.

Absolutely nothing you've said here makes any sense. I've already very clearly stated in an earlier post that I don't want to see GvKK using any of the Toho superstars. They can put in freakin' Megalon or King Caeser as the third monster, I'd have no problem with that. What I don't want to see is the likes of either Gigan, Destroyah or MechaGodzilla as a third random when each of these are prominent characters in their own right and would be much better suited to face the G in either their own films or at the very least, a "collective monster" film rather than a film where they act as side quests when Godzilla already has a reasonably prominent opponent like KK. Why is it so difficult to grasp this simple concept?

Sending in a third party near the end would be alittle too cliché. There has to be another solution. Perhaps Godzilla is chasing something towards skull island, and kong sees his arrival as interloping and a threat to his home. Or perhaps Godzilla fries the village and Kong seeks revenge. I don't know, I'm just spitballin here. There's got to be more than one fight, so maybe the first one will set up the others.

What I'm wondering is where this is all going after GVK? If it's not going to be taken very seriously, and we'll be seeing crossovers with other franchises like pacific rim? Gipsy Danger vs Mechagodzilla? Or will they change Godzilla somehow and turn him into a bad guy again? Now that's a film I'd love to see. A modern non-Japanese take on a feral Godzilla. No protector, just a force of nature, laying waste to everything.

I heard that the rights revert to Toho in 2020 or 2021, so if that's true there might not be any Legendary Godzilla films after GvK. As for Kong, well, Toho doesn't own King Kong so who knows? Maybe he can keep getting movies.

Anyway, just a couple scenarios for the third entity:

Maybe Mecha King Ghidorah could be brought in as a third entity in GvKK. They already have Ghidorah set up as the main baddie in G2, so I wouldn't be surprised if an end credits scene shows Monarch salvaging his body and preparing it to become mechanized. I can very easily see Ghidorah suffering a fate similar to the FeMuto where the middle head is lost and the body drops and sinks to the ocean floor.

Alternatively, we could have a small army of juvenile Mutos given how we've seen the potential threat of their reproduction.

Or they could just have one or more skull crawlers grow to enormous proportions like Kong.

I have a feeling they'll stay away from any mechanized kaiju. It seems like they want to stay somewhat more grounded than the old films. If they did go that route though I wouldn't complain, GvKG is easily one of the best Heisei films.

Yes, unless these next two films are complete flops they will probably stay away from any sort of mechanized kaiju. The world that's been established is grounded and realistic. The Pacific Rim crossover wouldn't make sense unless they introduced alternate dimensions, and honestly I don't want to see that anyways.

I'd imagine after GvK assuming it's a success which I'm sure it will be financially at least we will get a sequel to Godzilla and Kong. Godzilla has a wide variety of foes to fight while Kong doesn't have any known nemesis other than the empire state building so they can go any direction with Kong.

Judging by the flaming, tornado infested biblical hell like we saw in the trailer, I'm guessing that can just be caused by Ghidora, especially given his abilities listed for the film. It looked like there was more than one rodan in the trailer during the volcano release shot. And we have Godzilla and Mothra. I'm wondering if any smaller monsters will be included?

What creatures head was that behind the kid when she was telling her mother she was a monster? It almost looked like one of Ghidora's heads, but at first I thought it was baby Godzilla or something. It almost looked like it had that old school Godzilla face.

And regardless, may this movie be moved up at the soonest possible point in time. I know it doesn't always work that way, but God that would be fantastic.

That's still a lot for the first sequel. We could've just had Ghidora, and that still would've been awesome. But I'm loving the excess here.

According to leaks Anguiris makes a small appearance. However the director says there are more monsters, whether or not they have a big role is still not known.

there will be about 13 more monsters outside the core four, but they don't play a big role in the story, except for a big money shot at the end. Based on what I've heard, it seems at least one of them will either be Anguirus or a new creature that looks a lot like Anguirus.

Sounds akin to an "infinity war" photo op taking place after the credits of Iron Man 2. This kind of excess so early in the monsterverse is stupendous. I love it. You never know when anything will get canned, might as well show us everything they can while the money and studio interest is still there.

I have the 2 released ones on DVD, imported from Malaysia. I'm fairly certain that they're bootleg, but they look fairly official, and the quality is what you'd expect for an official release. I got them on eBay for about £8 each.

KOTM is gonna be five minutes long, and consist of Godzilla making a big, epic entrance. Just as he begins to attack the city, he notices Charles Dance on a nearby rooftop, looking mildly irritated, giving him a death stare. Godzilla, wide-eyed, slowly backs into the ocean and leaves. The End.

Charles is an immensely talented actor. But if it didn't work on a xenomorph, it won't work on Godzilla.

Sounds good, but  I just hope it's not a let down. Godzilla 2014 disappointed me a lot. The misleading commercials attributed all of the damage in Japan and  Vegas and the other cities to Godzilla, whom,  oddly enough was pretty docile throughout the movie; he wouldn't even attack the navy ships surrounding him like the Japanese Godzilla would.  Then when he makes his on-screen debut, and confronts m u t o, they cut away and do not show the fight. It's not even added to the DVD. There were some good parts, but it was too far focused on the military guy's family.

Skull Island was a step in the right direction, however, there could have been a few more Kong fights Against other monsters. The fight against the squid was way too short it should have been at least as long as the fight against the any other giant octopus in King Kong versus Godzilla. I thought it was a lazy excuse to say that Peter Jackson's King Kong did Superior fight scenes and they could not be topped. take a stab. It's better than nothing.

I can understand people's problems with Godzilla '14 due to the severe lack of Godzilla but I really enjoyed that movie. I dug the Jaws approach he took. It made the finale so much more satisfying. King of the Monsters looks to fix that problem and will have plenty of monsters. Kong Skull Island was all Kong and I loved how insane that movie was.

If you skimp on monsters in Godzilla vs Kong there would be a riot. They won't do that.

Indeed. I think so far, they've managed to maintain a really good balance. It was refreshing to see Godzilla taken seriously, and Kong getting alittle more fun.

I can only hope that the continued success of this particular film universe leads to a lot of big monster movies on a more regular basis.

A look at the new kaiju for the upcoming KOTM comic book prequel Godzilla: Aftershock has been revealed.

Spoiler


It looks like a new evolved form of a MUTO, and sort of resembles Orga from Godzilla 2000 in terms of size.



Here is an image from a twitter video which has unfortunately been deleted. It gives a better look at the new creature as it is getting the upper hand on Godzilla.

I love the idea that Godzilla fought Ghidorah in prehistoric times. I hope they play that up the movie, with Godzilla clearly remembering Ghidorah. It fits well with his real world history of basically being Godzilla's biggest rival.

Filming for Godzilla Vs Kong has begun, and the synopsis for the film has been released online.

https://twitter.com/Legendary/status/1062081119661617152

Spoiler
QuoteIn a time when monsters walk the Earth, humanity's fight for its future sets Godzilla and Kong on a collision course that will see the two most powerful forces of nature on the planet collide in a spectacular battle for the ages. As Monarch embarks on a perilous mission into uncharted terrain and unearths clues to the Titans' origins, a human conspiracy threatens to wipe the creatures, both good and bad, from the face of the earth forever.

The series has alot of flaws but as an experimental take on the Godzilla franchise I really like it alot. Story gets a bit more interesting in the second film. Less physical action but alot more ideological conflict beyond the main character simply wanting to kill Godzilla.

I'd prefer more action to be honest.  The premise was pretty cool - Earth being abandoned then humans returning 20000 years later - but the execution was often dull.

However, it does look like his belly extended up to his chin,  i.e. no neck.  I think if he did some neck exercises, he could feel better about himself! :)

Hah, at the end of the trailer where it breaks away to title right before the big fight, it reminds me of the last Godzilla film, where the next scene in the movie will be reporters the following day telling us what an amazing battle we missed!  ;D

On the trailer itself, to me, it looks pretty good. The cinematography looks beautiful. No awkward placed music this time.  I'm not fully sold yet, but it's moving in the right direction from the last trailer (imo).

On the whole, I really liked the trailer. I don't think that I like it as much as the first one though. I don't know if it is just me, but does Ghidorah seem to look small due to the camera angles? He looks more like a three headed Smaug that is slightly bigger than Godzilla rather than a creature over 500 ft tall as the marketing and poster seem to make it. Of course, it could just be me over-analyzing things.  :P

So that's Rodan flying near Mothra behind the clouds. And I see Godzilla lighting stuff up there for a few seconds. But who on earth is the crab monster in the dirt? And man is he movin' there at the end. No typical 3mph giant monster there, no sir. Seeing him all energized and on the move, Kong better be drinking him some Hyde formula, or his hairy a** is toast.

An alpha rival for Godzilla? Charles Dance is the only one with any chance at all.

Oh, and did I say I love this movie already? Because I do. Sweet Holy Jesus, I'm ready for this film.

The first trailer was better.
Better music. Better edited.
Long Live the king.  Was perfectly delivered by Clemens.
I don't think we needed to see all the monsters in full form.  Mystery please.

I'm guessing they need to show alittle skin to get the younger audience psyched up about it. I really want this film to be successful, and if that means showing off a bit, I'm cool with it. Mystery did work great for the last Godzilla, but with all heck breaking loose in this movie, it doesn't hurt to make it seem like all-out-war.

Plus, I mean, can they really ever out perform that first trailer?

Looks about as real as the new Disney live action, not sure if they are even trying to look realistic at this point with these films. But if accepted as a cgi animation with reversed Who Framed Roger Rabbit, i like how this looks, the colors are not lifelike but there is certainly a painterly quality in some scenes, the art seems to be strong in this one. Regarding monsterverse, Godzilla 2014 was a major let down but had it's moments and occasionally looked great, King Kong was just terrible. Still can't get over the hype of the G14 trailer, the first movie should have been a really dark film with Godzilla vs the humans like the trailer suggested, think Cloverfield without the shaky cam and more military action.  This friendship teaming up pet angle is so fkn lame, Godzilla shouldn't give the least bit of shit about the humans and should level cities by himself if not busy fighting other monsters (whilst leveling cities). Puny humans should root for Godzilla only because the big G is our only bet against other meaner monsters, if Godzilla manages to defeat it's enemies as the last monster standing, humans will put all combined efforts to destroy Godzilla for good (without much success).

A new still of King Ghidorah as well as some new info from KOTM Director Michael Dougherty has been released.

QuoteWhen he was 4, director Michael Dougherty says his primary "security blanket" was a Godzilla toy. "I would take him to church. That's how much I loved him." And with the new sequel, he's putting the "god" in the "Godzilla" franchise, bringing back the likes of three-headed golden dragon Ghidorah and winged moth Mothra from the old Japanese monster films. In the movie's world, "they're not just big dumb animals. They were worshipped back in the day," Dougherty says. The titanic creatures once co-existed with humans, yet when they and Godzilla rise once again to find out who truly rules in "King," that understanding between man and monster has been forgotten. "There's a fantastical element that comes into that. It's not just pure science fiction."

Yeah, that site never really cares about spoilers. There were toy sets that leaked and that was one of them. It probs isn't that big of a  deal.

See my signature.  ;D

Neither will be killed, and it will be more of a draw, though it shouldn't.

Kong will be given the larger end of the win by default because he's the underdog and it's difficult to see him surviving.

Heaven forbid the obvious outcome take place. A big monkey vs a giant atomic fire-breathing lizard god?

Puh-leeze.

QuoteIt might be quite a while before we get another trailer for the upcoming Godzilla sequel, but we do have some pretty cool new promo material to keep fans hyped for the King of the Monsters' triumphant return to the big screen.

Titan Books (via Bloody Disgusting) has announced that two new tie-in books will be hitting shelves in a few month's time: The Art of Godzilla: King of the Monsters by Abbie Bernstein will be released on June 4, while Godzilla: King of the Monsters – The Official Movie Novelization by Greg Keyes will be available a little earlier on May 31, 2019.

So used to seeing her with a great big head it is a bit jarring. But I really don't mind the legs.

And yes, they did change the feet -
QuoteDougherty:With Godzilla, I really liked what Gareth had done in the previous film with Godzilla's look, so I just wanted to make tiny tweaks, like changing his back spikes to look like the 1954 Godzilla. These in particular were taken right off the back of the original 1954 Godzilla. So I took Photoshop, and just photoshopped these spikes onto the back of Gareth's film. I made the feet and the claws a bit bigger, because a predatory creature like him would have very powerful sharp claws to tear into his prey. So those were the main tweaks with Godzilla. Other than that, it really is very similar. I made the tail just a little bit more rounded, like the traditional Godzilla films.

That one in the mountain has some serious teeth on it.

I'm really hoping this movie does well , and turns out to be good .

This really has an opportunity to be an immense movie . I hope they maintain the quality of the last two films, and don't sell this thing down the river for political purposes like Geostorm.

Poor Rodan, always getting the short end of the stick.

Also -
QuoteNext summer's long awaited rematch of Godzilla vs. Kong will also arrive sooner than expected, the film was set for a May 22, 2020 release but will now smash into theaters on March 13, 2020. The only other film on that release date is 20th Century Fox's long in-development Gambit movie, which most likely will not come to fruition.

The feet were fine, the aesthetic is 'big behemoth' so they work, although for a biped they looked a bit silly (if your foot is a pillar without toes you lose balance -- look at any existing or extinct biped). Bigger toes/claws work better. The new 54-traced back plates also look terrific

I thought the third was halfway decent. I think a tweaked version of three, dropping the first two entirely and changing some plot elements to reflect that, coulda been ok as a standalone outing.

It seems very similar to the second one in that one of their allies is shafting them and the promise of one of Godzilla's old enemies amounts to zilch.

I think I have maybe 15 minutes to go next time I get in front of Netflix.  Probably another 15 minutes of this dumb King Ghidorah thing (but not) strangling Godzilla before he goes back to sleep again.

I have come to the conclusion that when Godzilla isn't a man in a suit stomping on models and having ridiculous looking fights - it's shithouse.

I hope King Kong belts tens shades of shit of him.

The PredAlien (may its name be forever cursed) at least comedic value with the silly evil overacting.

I believe they said there will be a clear winner.

They're going to have to either nerf Godzilla or buff Kong in some way.  Again, like BvS.

Neither prospect sits well with me.

Or Big G gets hurt very bad in KoM and Kong takes advantage of that.

I just got offered a Production Assistant role for next weekend on KKvG by one of the Assistant Directors who I've worked with before!!

...the same weekend I'm booked to take professional photos for two dozen instructors and students of a local aerial arts school that's been scheduled, booked and paid for the last six weeks, and which I cannot possibly reschedule in the next twelve hours.

Literally any two other days this month or next would've been fine, but no. They needed those two exact days.

I've been editing the AD's feature film for the past year or so, so yeah -- I'm on the top of his list, luckily. Unfortunately he's only got a small stint on KKvG as he normally works crowds (he was the crowd AD on The Dark Knight Rises for the stadium scene).

Here is a new image of Rodan exclusively from Empire magazine.

(https://cdn.empireonline.com/jpg/70/0/0/0/0/aspectfit/0/0/0/0/0/0/c/articles/5c921c2f133d503e3a47fab2/godzilla-rodan-excl.jpg)

Also, the director Michael Dougherty gives us more insight as to how Rodan and Godzilla differ in the film.

Quote"[Rodan] is a bit of a rogue... you never quite know where his loyalties lie," Dougherty tells Empire of the monster's role, promising plenty of destruction. "Godzilla's more of a lumbering, plodding presence; it takes him a couple of days to destroy a city like Tokyo. Rodan can level it without even thinking. He's this massive A-bomb, so there's a speed and ferocity he brings."

Godzilla: King of the Monsters Director Took Inspiration From Sumo Wrestlers For Titans' Fighting Styles, New Stills Released

"These guys are massive and very strong, but also very agile. So we watched sumo wrestling in slow motion," said Dougherty.

The director went on to explain that this was important to convey the idea that Godzilla's more than a force of nature, there's a "consciousness and wisdom" to him and compared the titan to Kong.

"That's why the character has endured, because we can sympathize with him. In the same way that we see a glimmer of humanity in Kong, I think that exists in Godzilla. He's not a big dumb lizard."

Good news. Now if we could just get some follow-ups to the shin universe from Toho after GVK, and an American standalone film with bad Godzilla. Not some misunderstood father like in 1998. But a vicious city burning God. Or even better, a modern remake of the original.

Never said we did. But it would be nice to get some detailed information about them in passing from another film. When i say the shin universe, I don't mean Godzilla, I mean other monsters set within the same devastated japan from shin godzilla.

Don't feel it'd work that well considering shin is still alive and the nuke doomsday clock is locked in at 2 minutes to midnight.
You could easily wank your way out of that for sequels or sidequels or whatever but honestly, the fact that it's a standalone gadziller with a political charge and open ending about the future of japan rather than the monster, is great. I look forward to more G in future but i really hope they leave shin as a true standalone.

Impressively done trailer (even if it looks like CGI cartoon with great painterly art style), I really can't stand Godzilla being best pals with humans, multiple scenes emphasizing this in 1 min runtime including a really mawkish one, yuck. Similar thing they did in those awful Jurassic World films (sequel being the bigger culprit). This isn't what Gojira was about at all. Shin Godzilla has it's problems, but it's head and shoulders above Legendary when it comes to reinventing the character.

Still waiting for a proper high budget international Godzilla film.

Thought about this too, it could be done. After dominating other monsters Godzilla could/should turn bad on humans. Kong is the only character in monsterverse (apart from maybe Mothra) who has shown affection towards humans in the past and this could be a pretty decent plot for the upcoming Godzilla vs Kong movie where human weapons are aimed at Godzilla.

But like you i'd rather have a full reboot where Godzilla is the hair raising manifestation of nuclear horror and the wrath of mother nature. Something like the first  trailer of Godzilla 2014 hinted.

It's true, the marketing of this movie spells it out repeatetly that Godzilla is our badass saviour hero makes me fear that this might be yet another result of the same water it down for masses algorithm that studio execs rely on their boardroom meetings rather than a genuine desire to make proper Godzilla film.

I'll see it when the reviews are amazing, don't want to be burned again. Legendary Godzilla was a huge let down and Kong was just crap. Let's see how this goes, visually the trailer at least looks great.



Imagine not going to this movie based on reviews. The spectacle is worth your $12 alone even if the story ends up retarded as hell.

Well it would definitely be true to a massive chunk of the series if the latter were true. :laugh:

Yeah, but this hasn't got the charm of suited men destroying miniature buildings in slow motion, that stuff looks amazing.  I haven't seen all of them, but I don't remember any G films where Godzilla was straight up friends with humans, I always got the feeling that humanity was trying to get rid of him.

That was Shin. And it was good, and doesn't need sequels.

It was good, I love that movie. But I'm talking about a full scale Hollywood production that's more in the spirit of the original film. One that doesn't feature growth stages or googly eyes.

And in a number of other Japanese versions. Shin was pretty good, a bit boring and bland in parts but the monster itself was cool.

I want to see a proper high budget international version of Godzilla though, the Legendary just isn't it. It's up to size yet fundamentally different, a watered down version for the masses. The essence of the character is lost imo. Cgi monster mash solely isn't that enthralling.

It spoils the CG. Movement is arguably the most important thing -- more important than the texturing and the lighting and all the little effects. If it doesn't move right, it's immediately obvious -- and by God, him running like that is not moving right  :laugh:

Yeah, the running has bothered me as well since the initial trailer. It just doesn't jive with his body structure and feels incredibly awkward.

Everything else though... holy shit am I absolutely loving everything else.

Post by: Huggs on Apr 03, 2019, 04:30:21 PM
It's too late to change the running. Odds are they'll listen to the feedback, and he won't be doing it in any future films. Either way, it's not going to be a big enough deal to screwup the movie for me.

Title: Re: Godzilla
Post by: Nightmare Asylum on Apr 04, 2019, 12:05:18 PM
I'm ok with it in theory, but the actual execution here looks silly because the movements don't look like something that his body should be capable of.

That's the only thing like that in the trailers, though, so if that's really the only blemish on an otherwise stellar design, I'm willing to look past it.
Title: Re: Godzilla
Post by: SiL on Apr 04, 2019, 12:13:32 PM
Yeah, him moving slightly quicker isn't inherently an issue -- it just needs to look right. It doesn't here.

But, as others have said, it's hardly a deal breaker or the most important thing. It's just a kind of funny thing in the trailer. The rest looks ace.

He looks like one of those heavy-set guys who's nothing but solid muscle underneath the fat. He's like the giant monster equivalent of Tony Soprano, physically.

Tony was nothing but solid fat underneath the fat.

Yeah he's no Wilson Fisk.

then from the leaked summary, the footage and track 19 it's safe to assume serizawa is a goner. The hollow earth has me excited. After Godzilla 14 I floated the idea of Godzilla trudging through these massive open spaces deep within the earth. Then skull island had the same idea. I hope we get to see that world in this movie. Maybe that's how Kong makes it off the island, or how Godzilla finds it. The world beneath the world.

Sometimes I forget just how long it's been. Goodness mercy.

Maybe the extended cut will be 4k. If they ever put it out. Why they haven't yet makes me wonder if long term confidence in the format really is dwindling. How does this movie not have 4k treatment yet?

We'll more than likely never see the extended cut, or any of the deleted scenes for that matter. But that was more than likely a studio decision as Gareth really wanted that Akira Takarada scene on the home release/in the film.

Here is something that I did not expect to find. Apparently, the screenwriter of Terror of Mechagodzilla published a sequel to that film in manga form. It takes place 100 years after the events of the film, and it centers around the female cyborg Katura and the monster Titanosaurus. In this story, the monster is resurrected as a cyborg. There was recently a full translation of the manga posted on Toho Kingdom. It only has two of the illustrations, but I find it interesting none the less.

So far the color palette consists of that reddish clay color seen in the temple, the volcano, and apocalypse washington. And then the light blue.

This looks amazing, just hope the human cast don't drag it down. Millie Bobby Brown is great in Stranger Things, and Ken Watanabe and Charles Dance are about as reliable as it gets, so hopes are high.

I'm really hoping this will bring in more than $500mil. It's good money, but with the budget at $200mil and this being the third film, I wanna see Big G just devour the box office.

It's been a long 5 years, and may it never take that long again.

From the official website: "The work launched a monster movie franchise that continued for over 64 years and more than 30 films. Toho's line of original movies has continued up to the controversial "Shin Godzilla" (2016)."

I've never been much of a Godzilla fan, but I guess I somewhat enjoyed Godzilla 2014, though overall not too impressed. I never saw Shin Godzilla 2016. What was controversial about it?

Okay, thanks. Actually while waiting for a response here, I got curious and Googled the keywords, "what is controversial about shin godzilla." The articles I found mentioned nothing about the film's art, it touched more on the film's portrayal of Japan's real world political stance, something regarding Japan heading towards soft nationalism. Another article mentioned the ending is controversial.

So it sounds like its controversy is a variety of possibilities from art to political to the ending. That's all I really wanted to know, I didn't dive into the details why the ending was considered controversial in case I ever decide to watch the film.

It's controversial because the human elements are extensive, like the original film from the 50's. There's a lot of meetings and politics. It's primarily an indictment of the Japanese government, if I remember correctly. But there's still enough of Godzilla, interesting dialogue and ideas to make it aces for me. I love it.

The only thing I don't like about it is the use of very old sound effects. The missile impacts and explosions sound like something from an old Nintendo game, and are likely from the old films. I'm sure it was for nostalgia purposes, but it takes me right out of the experience when what I see doesn't match what I'm hearing. You're basically seeing modern visual effects and film with old school sound elements. Like 70 year old sound elements. When it happens, it's a bit jarring.

Ahh yes, now that you mention it there was an article discussing the controversy over the film's long winded debate what to do about Godzilla. Thanks for info.

The novella by Campbell, Who Goes There (in film, The Thing) was also often accused of the same. It's only 12 short chapters and the first three chapters for the most part go over the debate of thawing the Thing. I'm sort of mixed on in it. On one hand, sometimes films/books can go on too long about it, on the other hand, it can make for solid human drama.

So it sounds like its controversy is a variety of possibilities from art to political to the ending. That's all I really wanted to know, I didn't dive into the details why the ending was considered controversial in case I ever decide to watch the film.
I think if you're at all interested you should watch the film. It's completely standalone and is basically a modern remake of the original Godzilla, but using more contemporary themes, such as Fukushima and the tsunamis.
It's also about Japanese politics, and becomes almost a political satire at times. Taking the mickey out if the government can easily stir controversy!

Godzilla does have a brain the size of a marble. ;D



I've started reading the 2012 draft of the first movie's script. There are some interesting differences, like Ford not actually breaking into the quarantine zone with Brody. Also, Ford and Elle are siblings here, which is goddamn hilarious considering Age of Ultron.

I went into it with all the hoopla about the excessive talking worrying me. I had low expectations, and the first viewing was about a C.

Once I knew what to expect, the second viewing just blew me away. You get sucked into it, and it has that Gojira 54 feel.

On a side note, it's also an unbelievable Blu-ray presentation. I'm serious, some scenes just look jaw dropping good.

I'm glad I stuck with it, and I'd love to see more of this exact formula and universe from toho.

As I mentioned earlier, I never cared much for the Godzilla franchise. The original is the only one I really like, seen very few of the others, nor have I collected any of them on home media, but I may give Shin a go in the spirit of the upcoming GKOTM, see if I can catch the zilla fever.

Finally got around to watching Shin Godzilla. Honestly found it to be very good to great. I actually ended up enjoying the satire for the most part, and the documentary-esque approach worked pretty well. And these are honestly among the best effects any Godzilla movie, including the US ones, have had, as Higuchi is a goddamn genius. I could have done without the constant captions telling me exactly what room and floor and building every scene took place in, though, and the finale was a tiny bit anticlimactic.

I do have to say, I didn't find the English dialogue as bad as people were saying. Sure, Ishihara is very obviously not a native English speaker, but she spoke very clearly and I never struggled to understand what she was saying. I mean, just look at the Saradia scenes in Biollante and tell me they aren't a million times worse. :laugh:

Mothra's existed since 1961, has been a consistent supporting monster in numerous Godzilla films, and is a pretty damn iconic and fun monster. Her being based on an insect that is genuinely seen as pretty and elegant is a huge part of the creature's charm.

Mothra, despite never having seen her in any previous films, is one of the things I'm most interested in when it comes to this film. I just love the design they went for here.

I'll take your word for it. I've heard the name Mothra, but never knew what kind of creature it was. I think I just may wait for the last zilla movie to come out when godzilla fights Babushka the giant unicorn'd rainbow kitten.

Nothing about the action in the trailers showcased shakey cam in the slightest.

And then utter shit like Pacific Rim Uprising gets a pass :D

I think part of the problem with a lot of critics is that they think that any story being told has to some how have humans at the center fold of the film. If critics understood anything about Godzilla, they would know that one of the central themes of many Kaiju films is how small and insignificant humans are in comparison to the natural world.

Huh? I don't think critics are complaining about humans being insignificant, or complaining they should be in the centerfold. But humans happen to be in the centerfold, and critics are complaining how badly written they are and how boring the plot is when the monsters are off screen. If people are bored, that's a problem.

I don't know. It sounds like the same problem with Roland Emmerich's Godzilla film. I loved that movie when Godzilla was on screen but when he wasn't? Oy...

While I can see where you are coming from, the main point that I was trying to make is that alot of critics can't seem to like a film if there isn't some statement on the human condition. Now, do I wish that there was a bit more depth given to the characters in these kinds of films? Yeah, I do. However, by and large, most of the Godzilla films and dare I say most monster films have the humans serving as just supporting characters to further the plot. That isn't neccessarily a bad thing either considering that many of these films are considered well made films of the genre such as King Kong, the original Godzilla, Shin Godzilla, the Gamera trilogy, etc.

The difference being there's a certain degree of anthropomorphism exercised in King Kong. He's virtually a human character - falls  in love, driven to find his lost love, the very human behavior of saving the one he loves, very human-like facial expressions. Not a lot of anthropomorphic cues the audience can glean from a giant lizard. King Kong appeals to the broader audience. Godzilla has little hope to win over admirers beyond its fan base.

Ironic timing with the film's release with the U.S. currently being invaded by real world giants - a rash of tornados ripping through the country leaving trails of destruction just like a kaiju. One swept through just a few miles by me yesterday.

I went outside to look and it reminded me of that early scene in Independence Day when Will Smith goes outside to retrieve the newspaper and notices the neighbors are also in their front yard all looking in the same direction.

I saw my neighbors doing the same, looking west, just a few miles a faint silhouette of a tornado, however it was heading away from us. I imagined that looking like a faint silhouette of Godzilla, what an imposing sight that would be.

I've survived about 6 of them. Most all of them at night. And I mean direct contact, not watching them from miles away.

Waiting is the worst part. It's like having some murderous thing on the loose. You can feel it coming, and you can hear it coming, and it starts so slow. Like pumpkinhead. Everything goes dead, and it just slowly picks up. So you know when the first breeze hits and you hear the leaves and windchimes that it's coming for you.

This biggest one I ever saw saw would've been about an F4, but it just stopped short of touching down. To be brutally honest, I've always been fascinated with them. I think the last one I went through was the one that leveled Joplin, so I'm way overdue.

We saw a tornado warning on TV heading in our general direction, it hardly registered a response from me or the wife, but the married couple - the wife was frozen with fear, she was trembling from head to toe and she remained traumatizd for sometime after the tornado went elsewhere.

I understand your point, but you can be serious and fun at the same time. The choice of not showing much in those movies was also due to budgetary restraints, and fitted better anyways with a shark and the xenomorph, not when you have a building sized monster.

And the same for me. But I wasn't a kid when a tornado hit my roof. It's the house I live in now. The thing is, it blew off most of the shingles without ripping into wood structure. However the insurance inspector discovered the plywood base was all rotted. So my insurance replaced it all, the tornado was actually a turn of a fortunate event. They stripped it all down to the frame, so I got a new roof just for the cost of the 500 hundred dollar deductible.

And I know what you mean, tornados are exciting, but being a professional chaser is probably not as exciting as it sounds. Tons of down time waiting. And if kaijus were real, you know there would be kaiju chasers. Would it go as far as black market chasers like Ron Perlman's character in the film Pacific Rim, that's anyone's guess.

Like you I imagine, I also grew up in tornado country, so I've gotten used to their impact. It was in the armed forces when I discovered how others see tornados as godzilla. The base I was stationed, the wife and I were with another married couple who never experienced tornados.

We saw a tornado warning on TV heading in our general direction, it hardly registered a response from me or the wife, but the married couple - the wife was frozen with fear, she was trembling from head to toe and she remained traumatizd for sometime after the tornado went elsewhere.

Same. The first one I went through was when I was about 4, and it tore the roof off the house and there were trees flying down the street, so I was scared. After that it got easier. Now I kind of find them exciting, if anything. I understand why people chase them. It is a bit of a rush.

But it's not for everybody. I've got family in West Virginia that would flat out have a heart attack if they merely saw a tornado "warning" issued on the television.

This is probably why I'll be thinking of you when I finally see Twister.

Saw this last night. Was atrocious. So, so disappointing because I was looking forward to this ever since the 2014 original. Whereas that (G'14) built like a crescendo and ultimately delivered at the end, this just shoved the monster action down your throat from the off without an ounce of anticipation. And its really sub-par action as well. The script and dialogue is nonsensical and thick.

Redeeming moments? Just the glimpses you see in the trailer. The shot of Rodan erupting from the volcano is neat.

Should have done everything to bring Gareth Edwards back. I feel the 2014 film is underrated, I really appreciated the pacing of that one, the fleeting glimpses of the creatures, and the pay-off at the end.

Alien Vs Predator is SO much better than this. That's what I was left thinking when I was ranking this in the grand pantheon of monster throwdowns.

3/10 (possibly 2)

Yes, the hate for 2014 is way too overblown. I still enjoy it and just rewatched it last night. The only thing holding it back is the lead but even then there's only like a 10 minutes stretch where he is solely the focus. Everything else is fine or serviceable. I'll always hate Disney for driving him out of Hollywood. That and other reasons lol

Godzilla 2014 is a freakin' masterpiece, as far as I'm concerned.

The musical score, the pacing, and the seriousness with which the story was treated just thrilled me to no end. It was like a modern Jaws, and I honestly feel it will go the way of all classics. Somewhere down the road, it will become much more appreciated.

Having a big Wahoo sequel is normal, and I'll enjoy it. But Gareth knew what the heck he was doing.

At only 42% (48% yesterday) for RT critics. It was rated 7.9 yesterday at IMDB, but has since dropped to 7.0 in just one day with 8,000 votes in so far. Metacritic is mixed with a 49 rating. However, RT audience seem to love it with a 90% score with 1,800 votes so far.

As I mentioned earlier, I wasn't too impressed overall and haven't seen it for some time now, and in all fairness, I never been much of a Godzilla fan. But with Godzilla currently an active topic in various forums, I just recently gave it a second look and left with a better impression. The complaint of showing only glimpses of the creature seems less of an issue. On the back end of the run time, there is a fair amount of full view money shots of Godzilla.
Title: Re: Godzilla
Post by: Gilfryd on Jun 01, 2019, 03:32:59 AM
I liked it, about as much as I liked G14 upon first viewing, but for different reasons of course, as the films couldn't compare and contrast more in terms of tone, scale and overall approach to the material. KOTM definitely makes G14 look and feel like the calm, restrained and reserved movie it is. To use previous Godzilla films as a parameter...

If G14 was going for the somber tone of the original, or the suspense of Return of Godzilla, or even the 'back to basics with a monster fight thrown in' of Godzilla 2000, KOTM definitely takes its cues from more outlandish, fantastical entries like Ghidorah the Three-Headed Monster and GMK with completely unapologetic, all-out monster melees on full display.

If G14 was 'grounded', KOTM appears to exist in more of a heightened, pulpy reality, with an overtly fantasy based mythology regarding the monsters, a super science group studying and tracking them (while traveling in an anti-monster airship – a genre tradition) and bad guys trying to control and take over (another tradition).

The film is very fast paced, with human scenes as action packed as the monster ones, sometimes so that plot and story moments go by with little importance or set up (Oxygen Destroyer missile, Ghidorah is an alien, etc.), but the sense of wonder and spectacle on display is admirable and nearly supersedes any missteps along the way.

So it was a lot like Pacific Rim for me, a film I never thought I'd live to see, with a big, earnest heart for the material, where you feel like you're watching the real deal, only pumped up with Hollywood visual effects, which I think is great.

Other thoughts and concerns in spoilers -
Spoiler
I can already see certain members of the community taking major issue with the admittedly glib use of the Oxygen Destroyer, and the use of a nuke by the heroes to reawaken/save Godzilla.

The film has a really strong cast with fun supporting characters. I've always liked Kyle Chandler, so it was nice to see him in a starring role. However, killing off Sally Hawkins in such a way was disappointing – I guess she wasn't available for long? Charles Dance is great as always, but doesn't get much to do as the human villain. Zhang Ziyi is adorable and I love that her character(s) is a nod to the Shobijin.

As for the monsters, Godzilla and Ghidorah are the main stars here, Godzilla receiving way more focus than last time. The changes to his design (mainly the fins) are excellent, and he even has more of a classic roar in areas (not to mention the theme!). Ghidorah is a great, sinister villain, the most impressive incarnation (in design and function) of the character in quite some time. Same could almost be said for Mothra and Rodan, but they ultimately play second fiddle to the main two, and are a tad underwhelming in function. But hey, Rodan lives and Mothra apparently laid an egg, so cool!

The new monsters don't do much, but they do feature some funky designs, and there is a nice, unbelievable moment at the end between them and Godzilla.

No way I could get to everything, but with all that said for now, I'll definitely be seeing it again.

This was loads of fun. I could have done without things like a random line of dialogue triggering a eureka moment, and the human villains were pretty thin. Charles Dance's motivation is basically "I've fought wars, you know!" The monster stuff was all pretty great, and the majority of the humans worked for me.

Spoiler
Rodan heel turning right at the end was f**king hilarious. I do wish Mothra got to be in it a bit more before dying, but at least the egg is there.

The Oxygen Destroyer definitely puts Destroyah on the table for future movies.

What is Charles Dance going to do with one Ghidorah head, make a fancy hood ornament? I know they're probably teasing Mecha-Ghidorah, but still.

I'm guessing based on the closing credits that GvK's conflict will be driven by the monsters all flocking to Skull Island and making Kong into Cranky Kong.

I thought this was a nice description of the film over at Toho Kingdom...
Quote from: A pulpy, globe-trotting adventure that really feels like a Toho film/Godzilla comic through Hollywood lenses.

You never now what the response to a movie will be, especially a big one like this, but I found it about as well made and fun (I didn't say great or perfect) as your standard Marvel movie which almost always receives decent box office/reviews. So I think the film will definitely find its audience over time, it has more than enough to offer.

If you have the patience, here are more thoughts and observations from me in play-by-play/bullet point form –
Spoiler
- Mothra Larva using her silk spray attack put a smile on my face – her adult form using it on Ghidorah was a surprise as well, I don't think she's ever kept it in the Toho films
- The eco-terrorist bad guys remind me of the few rogue human groups in the Toho films like the Red Bamboo
- There are quite a number of monster related sex jokes in the movie
- The underwater Monarch base being called 'Castle Bravo' is a bit tone deaf (like Operation Lucky Dragon in the preceding film)
- Calling Ghidorah 'Monster Zero' was a nice nod, so is G-Team (G-Force, the G-Graspers, etc.)
- Killing off Dr. Graham like that bums me out, Sally Hawkins deserves better
- Rodan's reveal and ensuing dogfight is a major highlight
- The Oxygen Destroyer missile comes out of nowhere with little to no importance – I can see people having a major problem with that
- I like that while Ghidorah is mainly controlled by enemy forces in the Toho films, here he's the one in control, awakening the other Titans and having them rampage – it's a nice reversal
- However, the reveal that Ghidorah is indeed an alien comes and goes pretty quick – honestly, they could've kept him as another powerful Titan like Godzilla
- Another interesting reversal is Serizawa sacrificing himself to save Godzilla, not destroy him, coming to terms with the bomb, the monster – but the use of a nuke to revive the character in an American film will definitely rub some the wrong way
- For the most part, Mothra and Rodan are sidelined in favor of Godzilla and Ghidorah - it's understandable in terms of important screen time, but still a bummer
- Godzilla undergoing a meltdown is a nice double-edged sword when it comes to reviving him with a nuke (so it's not that celebratory of a thing), but it too comes out of nowhere with little importance
- Godzilla's power up is also a bit mucked up with Mothra's sacrifice and transference of energy – does she make him better or worse? I feel it should've been one or another - or maybe Mothra somehow pacifies Godzilla so he doesn't explode 
- The other monsters bowing to Godzilla's is so unusual I can't help but love it – it's definitely the culmination of how bonkers/love it or hate it the movie seems to be

I had the most rollicking good time seeing KoTM that I've had in ages. Loved every second of it. I straight up shed tears when the final battle started, because it was the Godzilla movie I always wanted to see. Been a life long Goji fan since I was eight years old and my inner child was delighted with every frame. The references are literally everywhere. I think I caught them all.

Gareth's movie was perfect to me. I saw it four times in the cinema. I gotta go eat some sashimi and go see the new one again. Good times!

Just got back, and have to say this was AWESOME! I liked G2014, but this felt like a complete series reboot on a whole other level. The humans were actually interesting, and then monster action was extremely well done.

It was a cool experience, my theater had a lot of folks in their 50s and 60s, people my age, and some kids. Godzilla really unites generations of people.

Godzilla KOTM is sinking fast on the three fronts of RT, IMDB, and Metacritic, regarding ratings/reviews.

At only 42% (48% yesterday) for RT critics. It was rated 7.9 yesterday at IMDB, but has since dropped to 7.0 in just one day with 8,000 votes in so far. Metacritic is mixed with a 49 rating. However, RT audience seem to love it with a 90% score with 1,800 votes so far.

Godzilla keeps sinking.

It has now dropped to 39% (48% May 30th) for RT critics. It was rated 7.9 May 30th at IMDB, but has since dropped to 6.9 in just a couple days with 17,000 votes in so far. Metacritic stills holds a 49 rating. RT audience still seem to love it, though it has dropped a little to 87% with 7,000 votes so far.

Reading the reviews in this thread, it appears this film really only satisfies the hardcore Godzilla fans. However, that RT audience of 87% says otherwise.....unless those 7,000 RT members are all hardcore zilla fans, which seems unlikely.

People told me this thing was dumb but boy, was I not prepared.

I loved it, of course. It has the best monster fights you may ever see in a film, bar none. I just wish they respected the set up/pay off rules a bit more, because there's no momentum behind those fights. It's just, monster fight after monster fight. In G14, the fights were smaller in scale, but they felt earned, thus more emotionally satisfying. There's not a single moment in this film that ranks up to when Godzilla first fires the beam in G14, for example, even though ALL the fights that happen here are at least 1.5x the scale of that.

With that said, this is essentially the ultimate monster mash, and I loved it, prolly going a 2nd time next week

Luckily Zilla vs Kong is already in production. Otherwise, they might of put it on ice.

I can't tell if you're pulling my leg or not.

Domestic box office is where film studios take the biggest percentage of box office receipts at approximately 55 cents of every dollar. (China is the lowest, around 25 cents of every dollar.)

We'll have to see what kind of legs it has but when your sequel opens to half of the gross of the original in the US, that is never seen as a good sign or taken lightly and studios often pull back and restructure plans.

I know, but we're talking the first weekend. They don't have any figures yet.

Plus they won't back off too easily... only recent 'dismantling' I remember was the Mummy's, and that was because of a particularly abysmal performance which is not here. Times have changed and studios look a lot more at international box office. Genisys was 'saved' box-office wise by China. I'm sure this one will get a boost from there as well

That's the thing. I was going to go Alien Covenant but using your example, Terminator Genisys was not saved.

Paramount and Skydance had a Genisys Trilogy planned with release dates set for Part 2 and Part 3. And even though Genisys made $130 Million in China and $440M total, it made only $89 Million in the US. So Paramount cancelled the trilogy, pulled the release dates for Parts 2 and 3 and said they were restructuring their Terminator plans.

That's basically why I was saying fans are fortunate Kong vs Zilla is in production.

GVK is already a done deal. So that's 4 films done (more than I ever thought we'd get ), with the first three being excellent (imo) so far.

I'm not worried about their box office performance at this point. If they ended the monsterverse after GVK, I could live happily. I've already gotten everything I ever wanted from it.

I'm happy to see that Terry Rossio is writing GvK. The 1994 Godzilla script he wrote with Ted Elliott was a solid piece of work.

Also, I had a thought about KotM's post credits scene:

Spoiler
The Ghidorah head that Dance ends up with was the left one, which was dumb as f**k and had to be kept in line constantly. Something tells me that if he manages to grow his own Ghidorah clone then it's going to end up about as useful as Tokka and Rahzar were in Secret of the Ooze. I definitely want to hear Dance scream "THEY ARE BABIES!" at the top of his lungs. :laugh:

This film could end up losing money.

It's often quoted a film must make double it's budget just to break even. I'm sure there's variables in that equation, meaning, it may not apply to all films due to differing promotion and/or theater distribution costs, but to use that generalized equation, GKOTM's budget was 170 million, it currently stands at 187 million.

It's pretty much already been released across the globe except Poland and Spain. I doubt the Polish and Spaniards will give it a huge upswing at the cash register. Poor reviews/ratings are not helping it either. I'm not sure how you would gauge word of mouth, but at the very least the thousands who are offering negative opinions in various online boards, reviews, and ratings are likely not spreading a good word of mouth.

Someone here mentioned that they will release Godzilla vs Kong anyway because it's already in production, but if they cancel the project, it wouldn't be the first time a studio pulled the plug on a film project in the middle of production. It goes without saying most studios are driven by the "playing it safe" agenda, so I can see them invoking the "cut our losses" mode lickity split.

The upcoming second weekend box office run might be more telling what direction this franchise is heading.

Well, more accurately, the principal photography is a done deal, just finished last month. For post production, Visual Effects houses don't come cheap, so my ending question to Nightmare Asylum still stands. .....Unless they already paid those houses upfront? Sorry, no refund, folks.

Even if they did pay upfront, they are still facing tens of millions in promotion and theater distribution. So essentially, the question remains.....at what point do you stop feeding wads of cash for CGI.....or promotion and  theater distribution costs while watching the current film tanking at the box office?

I wonder if there were a lot of character development scenes deleted from this movie.  If so, they could try releasing an extended edition on Blu-ray.

I mean, after all this time there's still a demand for the Snyder Cut of JL and the Ultimate Edition of BvS was significantly better than the theatrical release.  Maybe that's what this movie needs.

Well, with contracts already in place and principal photography already fine, they're highly unlikely to pull the plug. Too much has already been paid out for them not to recoup at least some of the costs.

The other thing to consider is merchandise, and home video sales. They may not make their money back in cinemas, but they'll probably be OK in home media where they can have long lives as catalogue titles which can be brought out as often as needed.

That's admirable that its core fans are taking that initiative. I read some of the IMDB members' reviews and the ones that love it, I mean they really love it.

RT just recently added their 5 scale rating for Godzilla and they currently have it at 4.26/5 for the RT audience, which is pretty impressive. Adjusted to ten scale, that would be an 8.52/10 rating. A stark contrast to RT Critics' rating of 5.1/10.

This is a great review - A lot of the positive ones have been the typical, backhanded 'I'm smarter than a giant monster movie' schtick, but this really gets the earnest, sense of wonder the film has about itself.
Quote"Godzilla: King of the Monsters" has a sense of wonder. After I left the screening late at night and emerged onto a dark city street at nearly one a.m., I wanted to look up rather than straight ahead, just in case Ghidorah the three-headed dragon or Rodan the giant pterodactyl came screaming down from the clouds. That's not the same thing as saying this is a perfect movie. It's far from that. But its errors fall mainly under the heading of failing to get out of its own way, and its imperfections are compensated by magnificence.

Disappointed, i thought it was very forgettable and bland. Felt like it was a 3h30 movie.
Sometimes very poor CG when the camera zooms on Ghidora's faces.

I saw this last night on Screen X!!! (270 degrees thing). Hated the Screen X bollocks, but enjoyed the film well enough. I'm not the biggest monster universe fan but I was never too taken with the old Godzilla or Kong, but I did like this. Didn't feel like it was constantly cutting away from the action like the last Godzilla and I didn't feel like the humans were as boring either.

It was nice to see Kyle Chandler. I feel like I've seen him in everything but never in a big role. I wouldn't buy this one but I was satisfied watching it.

Big fan of Kyle Chandler too. It was nice to see the guy in a leading role. And when the camera would do those close up shots, I thought to myself, "hey this guy can probably pull off an older Nathan Drake."

If they're trying to improve the movie, that's always good.

If they're doing it for no good reason, I give them the one finger salute.

It doesn't really matter. The monster verse will probably end with GVK anyway. Maybe toho can work some shin magic with another monster.

SF Debris Reviews King Kong vs Godzilla (http://www.sfdebris.com/videos/films/kingkongvsgodzilla.php)
Title: Re: Godzilla
Post by: AVP-CAPCOM on Jun 13, 2019, 06:23:10 AM
Interesting thread, will come back to it later.

Saw GODZILLA-KOTM (2019), twice but only because

a- Cinema tickets have been slashed to £5 and £4.99 respectively at the ODEON and VUE
b- I had a VUE giftcard with £6.40 credit which got me another ticket and a discounted TANGO Blast, Aladdin pomegranate and peach ice slush!

Both screenings the cinemas were near empty, including a screening during a UK school half term when it was raining. Kids seemed more interested in Secret Life Of Pets 2, Aladdin and Pokemon Detective (although they are all struggling at the UK box office too).

Like I said cinemas have slashed their ticket prices to tempt people away from their SKY Cable/Fibre Optic TV Home Box office sets. (Although you can't compete with a £5-£8 download for a whole room to watch or £10 Supermarket DVD to share). But in doing so, overall box office takings will also be down.
I want to see amount of tickets (units) sold, but cinemas aren't being honest about their dwindling business model and cinemas closures.

What did I think of GODZILLA- 2 (2019?). The best american Godzilla, overall, but inferior in some respects. I felt the CGI was shakey at times, after a lesson in CGI on some YouTube channel. "VFX artists react to bad and great CGI". I was more wowed by the GODZILLA (VS MUTO- 2014) CGI which took time with its effects, sense of size and scaling, weight and physics of the creatures, in proportion to the human characters.

But GODZILLA KOTM did have some awesome CGI that surpassed it predecessor in the monster on monster battles. The military vs monster scenes were also good (if futile). Indeed "every scene has a screencap worthy of a desktop image.
But why, and this will piss people off, did King Ghidorah have facial expressions? When he smirked and smiled like Mutley from Wacky Racers?
It didn't look good in JP-Fallen Kingdom and it didn't look good here giving monsters human expressions.

I know our confidence has been shaken by poor box office returns, but we might just have to accept this is an esoteric franchise. Considering the aggressive and expensive marketing campaign, I did not see that returned in attracting audiences or retaining them in the space of a week.

Viewing 1- Cinema was 1/4th full
Viewing 2 (week later during a half term with many people off work with families)-  16 people including myself (when the Mall was packed and it was raining outside).

Godzilla vs Evangelion: The Real 4D, a new ride at Universal Studios Japan. It opens with Evangelion Units 00, 01 and 02 taking on Shin Godzilla, only for a new version of Ghidorah to show up.

It's not canon to anything and part of the larger Godzilla vs Evangelion cross-promotional campaign that began with the marketing of Shin Godzilla (directed by Eva creator Hideaki Anno).

I have the Criterion blu of Godzilla. I had always liked Godzilla King of the Monters 1956. It was no King Kong 1933 by any means, but I always found it enjoyable. So I was hoping I would enjoy the original Japanese 1954 Godzilla much more, but I surprisingly really didn't. I did find it valuable as an educational piece, and an important for film history, but not extremely well made. Still, knowing the backstory of what the Japanese people went through and their real life fears is still heartbreaking to this day.

GKOTM is also available two weeks earlier, Aug 13, on VUDU. It doesn't specify, but they almost always have all the bonus features the disc includes. VUDU also offers 4K. I plan to rent only, and bonus features are not included when you rent only. Purchase only includes the bonus features. If I'm curious enough to see them, they will likely be on Youtube soon after.

Criterion roundup via Astounding Beyond Belief...
QuoteI'm realizing I haven't posted a lot about Criterion on this site recently, so here's a full recap of what we know:

•Criterion issued Godzilla (1954) on DVD and Blu-ray in 2012, in what is widely considered the best home video release of a Godzilla film ever.
•Janus Films, Criterion's longtime business partner, brought Rodan, The War of the Gargantuas, and all but four of the Showa Godzilla films to the streaming services STARZ and FilmStruck in 2017. The later has since been replaced with The Criterion Channel, but retains all the Toho titles.
•At the time, Criterion told fans who emailed them that "we hope to release them on Blu-ray and DVD at some point but they aren't yet on the schedule."
•This year, revival screenings of Showa Godzilla films began crediting Janus as a distributor. This is how we learned they had acquired Godzilla vs. Gigan and Godzilla vs. Hedorah, two of the three G-films that Kraken Releasing used to have. Presumably, they also now have the third: Ebirah, Horror of the Deep. That leaves only King Kong vs. Godzilla, owned by Universal, who has sublicensed films to Janus/Criterion many times in the past.
•Criterion designer/art director Eric Skillman contacted several comic book artists on Twitter about an upcoming project in May, then made several Tweets suggesting it was Godzilla-related.
•Ed Godziszewski and/or Steve Ryfle stated at their Bringing Godzilla Down to Size panel at G-Fest that Criterion would be making a Godzilla announcement this week. (Disclaimer: I was not there.)
•An unnamed source at the G-Fest afterparty provided further information, suggesting that fans would be less than pleased with the dubs absent from the impending box set, specifying Gigantis the Fire Monster. (Disclaimer: I was not here either.)
•Criterion numbers all of their releases, and one of the films or sets they announce this month will be #1000.
•Criterion typically announces new releases on the 15th of each month. This time they missed the date, then stated on the 16th that they would be announcing them on the 17th. Yesterday they postponed it again to today – the first day of San Diego Comic Con, where Toho is debuting a Godzilla booth.
•August Ragone also teased a Godzilla announcement from Criterion this morning.

It looks like our wait is about to be over.

Although someone has already pointed out the Blu Ray/DVD is coming out 27th August the Digital Download is August 6th 2019.

"The official twitter account for the film revealed that Godzilla: King of the Monsters will be making its digital debut on August 6th, and will be coming to 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray on August 27th. Pre-orders are live now. "

https://comicbook.com/anime/2019/07/19/godzilla-king-of-the-monsters-blu-ray-dvd-release-date/

That is a mere 9 weeks from the cinema release to getting it on our home computers/sky box office.  :o

Didn't have that option when the original Jurassic Park came out. If anything you'd re-watch it at the cinema before waiting, if at all, for the home release.

Target might have leaked the Criterion set, which is indeed a Showa era collection -
https://intl.target.com/p/godzilla-the-showa-era-blu-ray/-/A-77463486

Decent $149 price tag, even more so if you wait for one of their sales.

1295 min runtime also points to all 15 films.

Once again ABB has the rundown...
Quote
Well, Criterion did it. They gathered up the 15 Showa Godzilla films whose U.S. rights had been scattered for decades and brought them together for a big ol' box set. And – as is the case when every kaiju home video release is announced – the warring in message boards and comment sections has already begun over the specifics of that set.

The Showa Godzilla films were dubbed into English a total of 19 times. "Due to  the parameters of [Criterion's] licensing agreement with Toho," only 8 of those dubs are included in this set. It is a massive omission and a baffling one. Most of these missing dubs have already been released on DVD and/or Blu-ray. Three of them are among the international export dubs Toho commissioned themselves! Godzilla fans who dive into the minutia of these releases have come to expect seemingly random restrictions on content from Toho, but they've surely topped themselves this time, and to one of the companies most likely to finally do these dubs justice. It's ironic that at the same time that Tsuburaya is making its biggest move ever to bring Ultraman to the United States, Toho seems to be doing its best to erase Godzilla's rich history in this country.

News of the video quality is also dismaying. Aside from Godzilla, Criterion will be using Toho's subpar HD transfers from 2008, even though Sony produced superior versions of five of the films some 15 years ago. Toho also failed to provide their recent 4K transfer of King Kong vs. Godzilla, which is by far the best the film has ever looked.

But this set will do a lot of good for English-speaking Godzilla fans. All but two of the Showa Godzilla films are out of print in the U.S. right now; as expensive as this set is, new fans would find buying all the previous releases secondhand to weigh even heavier on their wallets. Godzilla Raids Again; Mothra vs. Godzilla; Ghidorah, the Three Headed Monster; Invasion of Astro-Monster; Son of Godzilla; All Monsters Attack; Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla; and Terror of Mechagodzilla are coming to English-friendly Blu-ray for the first time. Interviews with the people who worked on these films will be translated for the first time, and it sounds like Criterion is also including the 1986 Toho Unused Effects tape, or something similar. All of the films will have new English subtitles, rendering the shoddy translations and dubtitles of other companies obsolete. And best of all, the Japanese version of King Kong vs. Godzilla will finally be (officially) available in English, until now the only holdout in the entire series.

By the way, the set comes out at the end of October, and Barnes & Noble has a tendency to take 50% off Criterion releases in November...

Those were already established in the movie, however. ;) As far as I'm aware, the Skull Island nod is the only new one on there that's a deliberate reference.

Okay, okay, twist my arm.

I bought Vudu's 4K copy. I was actually pleasantly surprised. Read some reviews prior to watching how it has horrid dialogue. I didn't hear any horrid dialogue. Anyone who agrees with the critics regarding dialogue, got an example what would be called horrid dialogue?

Also some critics complained about characters screaming and running throughout the entire movie. First of all, it wasn't throughout the entire move, it was only during applicable scenes. I guess a few critics like to play little drama princess. Secondly, how did they expect characters to react? "Zilla, dude, you just squashed my friends, so not cool, big fella. Oh well, lah-dee-dah."

98 will always hold a special place in my heart.

It didn't really feel or look like Godzilla, but as a giant monster movie it's pretty good. I wish we could get a sequel to it someday, just for the fun of it.

What I like about Godzilla 98 is that the creature moves more similar to the current paleontological paradigm about dinosaur movement.

Title: Re: Godzilla
Post by: Naginata on Sep 01, 2019, 08:10:10 PM
^ I dunno, that doesn't really work for Godzilla IMO, particularly when he's as absurdly huge as he is in the Monsterverse. The bottom-heavy 'retrosaur' look - stubby feet, short legs, tripod stance and all - actually makes more sense for a creature that size. I mean, obviously it's still ridiculous and unrealistic, but it seems more 'correct' on a verisimilitude level. Godzilla's not meant to be an agile theropod; he's a big, slow-moving mountain of a thing; a force of nature brimming with insane raw power.

... Although this theory is kinda ruined by KOTM where the tubbiest Goji in history just BOOKS IT toward Ghidorah, but...  :laugh:

EDIT: Having said all that, I wouldn't mind Zilla getting revived as his own Kaiju with the un-goji-like traits emphasized. Being the small, agile, speedy trickster of the bunch would set him apart from the others pretty well.

Title: Re: Godzilla
Post by: Naginata on Sep 02, 2019, 12:27:31 AM
It was sort of exactly what I was afraid would happen: They overreacted to the backlash against the first one, and overcompensated. Too much noise and stuff exploding, too little plot. The humans didn't do enough, so now there are dozens of military with little to no development who have to be shown doing stuff in every action scene. I enjoyed the movie, don't get me wrong, but I think the first one was better.
Title: Re: Godzilla
Post by: Huggs on Sep 02, 2019, 12:55:13 AM
Yep. The Jaws style formula of the first really resonated with me.

But I think that slow building style is frowned upon nowadays. And it's a shame, because movies like Alien and jaws demonstrate how important character development is, and that not showing the monster all the time pays off and actually makes things scarier.
Title: Re: Godzilla

In my opinion Cloverfield was close to that: more focus on the characters and not too many monster sequences. Godzilla 2014 is better though.

Title: Re: Godzilla
Post by: Kimarhi on Sep 02, 2019, 05:14:44 AM
I think Cloverfield was better than both of them.  I don't really know why, since I hate found footage films.  The characters were around but didn't really develop or anything, the monster was of average design, but I suppose the characters were relatable enough. 

I actually liked KOM better just because there was less focus on the human characters and more focus on monsters beating the hell out of everything.  The first movie focused on the characters and they were boring af.

My favorite part is when Godzilla went super saiyan god. 
Title: Re: Godzilla
Post by: Huggs on Sep 02, 2019, 05:46:26 PM
I could live with the excessive monster action, if the characters weren't so poorly written and annoying. There's going to be human scenes, it's inevitable. The least they could do is put some decent effort into them, otherwise you have to put up with 15 minutes of awful dialogue from characters you don't even care about before you get to see something genuinely interesting again. It cheapens the film.

As for cloverfield, I liked the premise of it, but the characters annoy the fire out of me. I think it's very tough to do found footage right. The only FF film that ever truly entertained me was Trollhunter.

Title: Re: Godzilla
Post by: Naginata on Sep 02, 2019, 11:11:58 PM
For me, the thing that really made the human side of things in KOTM not work is how many goddamn characters there are.

Sally Hawkins' character? Absolutely wasted, and in a way that I thought was pretty disrespectful to a talented actor.

Blonde suit-guy? Utter non-entity. White-haired 'comedy' guy? Same, but painfully unfunny. Literally every single person in fatigues? O'Shea Jackson Jr. has charisma, don't get me wrong, but they gave him nothing to do! When you can drop something like 8 major characters and the story doesn't change at all, something's wrong.

What's frustrating is that I really think they had something with Madison and her Mom, particularly once Charles Dance (hey, speaking of wasted talent!) gets involved. That could have been really interesting, but instead we're watching The Coach From Every Sports Movie Ever tell a bunch of non-characters what to do for 90 minutes.

Godzilla vs Kong' Pushed to November 2020
Beatrice Verhoeven | November 25, 2019 @ 2:06 PM

Warner Bros. and Legendary's "Godzilla vs. Kong" has been pushed eight months from March 13, 2020 to November 11, 2020, multiple insiders told TheWrap.

The film was previously supposed to open in May of 2020, before it was moved up in February to March.  Adam Wingard is directing, while Terry Rossio wrote the screenplay. Alexander Skarsgard, Millie Bobby Brown, Rebecca Hall, Brian Tyree Henry, Shun Oguri, Eiza González, Jessica Henwick, Julian Dennison, Kyle Chandler, and Demián Bichir star.

The upcoming film is the culmination of Legendary's MonsterVerse, which is combining the worlds of King Kong and Godzilla into a single universe. The series began in earnest in 2017 with "Kong: Skull Island," and continued with this summer's "Godzilla: King of the Monsters" before the two finally clash next year.

Kong and Godzilla previously appeared together in the 1962 Japanese kaiju film "King Kong vs. Godzilla," which was produced by Godzilla-owning studio Toho. The film became a massive hit and still stands as the top "Godzilla" film in terms of tickets sold in Japan.

^ That would be Arthur Adams' excellent piece for the Criterion Godzilla set.

Speaking of which, I finally got the see the Japanese version thanks to that set. Here're my rambling thoughts...
Spoiler
It's a shame it's shoved aside on the bonus disc, in the middle of all the other extras, it's not treated as a main feature at all. The visual quality is also noticeably inconsistent, some scenes look decent, others are really rough. At least the subtitles are as good as they could possibly be, I guess.

Grew up with the US release so it was definitely a little jarring, in a good way I mean. I couldn't help but feel it had a more small scale, domestic feel to it. The humor is a lot more evident, of course. It was interesting to see how things were originally meant to link up, and elements people normally poke holes at in the US cut were made a lot clearer. There's a simple logic to the film that is very endearing, more so than other Honda/Tsuburaya films, it's definitely aware of what it's supposed to be - a charming, celebratory goodtime.

I know Honda had misgivings about Godzilla's behavior, he's perhaps a bit too jovial and 'human' at times, but still a big, mean, destructive bully. And then we have Toho Kong, the lovable drunk ogre he is.

There's some stuff that still bothers me, some just from the time period (handing out cigarettes to the natives, using a real octopus [and to add insult to injury, eating him afterwards]), but something that really struck me was the lack of a real strong female character you normally see in these films, usually as the film's moral compass. There's no Emiko, Junko/Naoko, or Miss Namikawa. Even Raids Again had the two radio girls. You're just kinda stuck with the bumbling male characters. Maybe that's a silly nitpick but it jumped out to me compared to the others.

Overall I think the formula improved over the next few films, but it's so nice to see the original version and what the core creative team behind the classic Godzilla mythos had intended.

I'm just curious as to why the director thought it would be cool to see them fight on an aircraft carrier.  My initial thought was, "that's silly."

Did Godzilla leap out of the water and land on it this super carrier?  Is Kong one-punching him off? I mean c'mon, Godzilla only needs to grab him and take him to the water.

It's a bit early to be thinking about this...time for some coffee.

It's probably just an homage to the original film where Kong was rafted across the ocean. But unlike that movie, it appears Godzilla is giving Kong a surprise this time around.

Here is some fantastic fan art from artist RJ Palmer. It is inspired by Shin Godzilla, but it is his own unique interpretation of the character.

Barring what is happening with the reshoots, I'd be more inclined to believe
Spoiler
the armor stuff
[close]
is just special stuff meant to awesomize a toy line, and nothing more. It all sounds far too extreme to be part of the movie, at least at this stage of the game.

That being said,
Spoiler
it's nice, but surprising to see MG will be in the movie. Although I have a feeling it will be at the very end. Probably used as a post credits scene showing him being built, after this movie officially establishes Godzilla as a threat to mankind. Which they already alluded to at the end of KOTM.

Astounding Beyond Belief has the rundown on the some kinda/sorta spoiler-y toy pics that leaked out.
Spoiler
Okay, my shifts are finally over. Here's what happened with Godzilla vs. Kong today.

This morning, a user in the Wikizilla Discord shared images of the upcoming film's toyline, apparently from an expo in Hong Kong. They were not meant to be shared, and certainly not meant to be posted publicly, but his source missed the text message explaining that crucial caveat, and the rest of us did what came naturally when faced with titanic Godzilla news. As soon as they hit social media, of course, there was no containing them. I don't plan on posting them here again, especially since Warner Bros. is firing off DMCAs at people, but I figure there's no harm in talking about them.

(Apologies for not tagging the initial posts as spoilers – suffice to say I got a little excited.)

The biggest news, of course, is Mechagodzilla. Foreshadowed in the credits of Godzilla: King of the Monsters (and arguably the beginning of G14), the magnificent machine seems to be the Greater Threat Godzilla and Kong will team up against for the good of all Titankind. He has a similar build as Godzilla, but more slender (save for those meaty claws) and with fairly plain dorsal plates. Compared with the likes of Kiryu and the Ready Player One Mechagodzilla, the design isn't blowing me away, but I only have photos of toys to judge it from, and poor ones at that. I'm still holding out hope that Mechani-Kong will be joining him.

"Mega Godzilla" is eyebrow-raising – it's Godzilla with spiky red armor, evoking the old Trendmasters Power-Up figures. I dearly hope this isn't in the movie, unless the whole story is equally silly.


Kong will finally be getting some more toys, including two where he'sholding an axe. Apparently this lines up with a plot leak I refuse to read. There's also a Skullcrawler figure that, even in these meager photos, blows away the one from Lanard.


There is a red monster in one of the photos who doesn't appear to be Rodan. Well, we got new creatures in every other MonsterVerse movie, and didn't get to see most of the Titans introduced in King of the Monsters, so I guess that's to be expected. Nice that this one is actually getting a toy though!

Not gonna lie, Fury Road is basically imprinted in my mind frame by frame. It probably helps that I watch it multiple times a year (at the very least, I always follow up a theatrical version viewing with a Black & Chrome viewing a few days later) but I feel like that was even true after my experience on night one at the theater.

Is it just me or did toys have way more texture in the 90's? I noticed the same softness about all the JW toys.

If something like this were to happen, I'm not so sure how I would feel about weekly episodic Godzilla adventures. I feel like that would only really work as big screen spectacle.

What I would love to see, however, is an X-Files riff with a team of Monarch agents investing Kaiju and other weird phenomena each week. An episode investigating Nessie. An episode dealing with the weird environmental effects the Kaiju leave in their wake. A trip through the Hollow Earth. Exploring another undersea city that Godzilla calls home. Stuff like that.

Godzilla returns to Netflix in new anime series Godzilla: Singular Point coming 2021 (http://www.scifijapan.com/articles/2020/10/06/godzilla-returns-to-netflix-in-new-anime-series-godzilla-singular-point-coming-2021/)

Godzilla Anime Series Set at Netflix (https://variety.com/2020/tv/news/godzilla-anime-series-netflix-1234794916/)
QuoteNetflix has ordered a new Godzilla anime series.

Titled "Godzilla: Singular Point," the series expands Netflix's roster of projects tied to the King of the Monsters. The streamer previously debuted three Godzilla anime films: "Godzilla: Planet of the Monsters," "Godzilla: City on the Edge of Battle," and "Godzilla: The Planet Eater." The first was released in 2017 while the second two debuted in 2018.

"Singular Point" will not be directly tied to the films and will feature an entirely new storyline and cast. It is currently slated to debut in 2021.  The series hails from director Atsushi Takahashi. The creative team includes: Kan Sawada, composer for Doraemon films and series such as "Yowamushi Pedal;" Japanese science-fiction novelist Toh Enjoe making his TV debut as editor and writer for the series; Kazue Kato, creator of "Blue Exorcist" and the hit comic currently serialized in "Jump Square", will serve as the character designer; and animator Eiji Yamamori, whose past work includes iconic Studio Ghibli films including "Princess Mononoke," "Spirited Away," and "The Wind Rises."

Anime studio bones will produce in partnership with studio Orange, combining hand-drawn and CG animation styles.

Godzilla has been a staple of worldwide popular culture since the creature's debut in 1954, appearing in nearly 40 feature films since then. It has been a central figure in mostly Japanese films, though several American productions have also been built around it. The most recent of those was "Godzilla: King of the Monsters" in 2019. An American crossover film, "Godzilla vs. Kong," is set to debut in 2021.

Not sure if it is just the Kaiju selection or what but this is giving me a very Showa feeling, with a more modern (almost Shin?) take on Godzilla thrown into that mix.

I wonder what the red mist flowing through/out of the various Kaiju is?

Based on some toys...

Spoiler
This will apparently feature a new incarnation of Mechagodzilla.

Based on the same toys it also seems like the Skull Crawlers from Kong: Skull Island are back as well.

I wouldn't be shocked to see more original monsters as well, especially since it seems like they are actually going into the Hollow Earth in this one.

It all depends on where the world's at come May for me, I guess. COVID wise, things are absolutely terrible in my area right now and just getting worse by the day.

I really don't want to see this movie (or any of the other movies that WB are dumping on HBO Max) at home for the first time. I love the movie theater and want nothing more than to be back. But the way things are going here... :-\

An agreement means the parties are close to averting a potential legal confrontation over Warner Media's surprise decision to put its entire 2021 slate on its HBO Max streamer on the same date that the films open in theaters. Warners' unprecedented Dec. 3 announcement caught all talent and filmmakers off guard and Warners is now engaged in negotiations with dozens of parties seeking compensation for potential loss of profit participation.

He directed You're Next and The Guest which are pretty great. I didn't mind Blair Witch, but yeah.. Deafh Note was trash. He's able to put together a cool flick, but honestly I'm just here for splosions.

This Beast Wars movie looks INSANE!

Jokes aside, I'm just relieved this movie is finally coming out. I no longer care if it succeeds financially. I don't care about if the Monsterverse continues. I'm just glad it will out, we can hopefully enjoy it, and move on.

I know it looks cool, and believe me, I know and love how ridiculous the Godzilla franchise has gone like that sick ass flying drop kick that Godzilla does on Megalon but I still can't overlook the fact that two kaiju weight over 100,000 tons on a aircraft carrier like that would have sunken before the fight even began. Especially since the Monsterverse's take on the world is more grounded in realism.

The MonsterVerse hasn't really been 'grounded' since 2014, and that one still has, you know, a giant amphibious reptile fighting giant horny parasites. Kaiju movies (like most genre films) hinge on suspension of disbelief and sense of wonder, so once you realize square-cube law is null they become a lot more interesting and entertaining.

The ship looks close to land if not beached. So it could hold the weight for a certain amount of time seeing it has land under it.

Oh don't get me wrong here, I've been a fan of Godzilla since 1999, I know it can get nuts that its super fun. Its just that each film or era always had a set tone on how things were going about in the films that when big G did that drop kick, since everything else was wacky in the Showa era, I rolled with it happily.

As for Godzilla 2014, the portrayal of Godzilla and the two MUTOS were based on animalistic instinct and intelligence. Their expressions, their body language, the weight that shifts back and forth when they move is so animal, it made the idea that if were big ass monsters living like that for real, I can imagine this is how they would do. 

Its not going to stop me from watchin the film anytime soon that's for sure, just got me off guard.

Boring trailer, bad choice of music. I don't like the atmosphere, not fit well. And I find Godzilla isn't respected compared to Kong.
GKoM might be silly but it was a generous, epic movie, and the monsters were really beautiful, respected, and iconic.

Maybe Godzilla is jealous cos Kong is a girl's pet. He just wants to be loved (ಥ﹏ಥ)

Kong's one movie was better than both of Godzilla's, so I'm rooting for him.

I agree. Funny how in this trailer they chose to mostly show Kong kicking Godzilla's ass lol. Besides that, I hope they don't pull a BvS on this one, the "oh look a bigger enemy has appeared let's team up" thing bores me to death.

Unfortunately that's exactly what's going to happen. And even worse if this goes the way I think it's going to go..

That's not even really Godzilla, it's Mecha-Godzilla covered in fake flesh. but this is just a theory.

They are two alphas with one of them not recognizing the other as their superior so like all territorial creatures with a pack order, they are going to go at it to settle things. Trailer also gives out that there is more to it since it seems like humans are doing something to piss off Godzilla enough to attack them.

QuoteLegends collide in "Godzilla vs. Kong" as these mythic adversaries meet in a spectacular battle for the ages, with the fate of the world hanging in the balance.  Kong and his protectors undertake a perilous journey to find his true home, and with them is Jia, a young orphaned girl with whom he has formed a unique and powerful bond.  But they unexpectedly find themselves in the path of an enraged Godzilla, cutting a swath of destruction across the globe.  The epic clash between the two titans—instigated by unseen forces—is only the beginning of the mystery that lies deep within the core of the Earth.

So I'm assuming something to do with the development of Mechagodzilla pisses Godzilla off, and Kong gets stuck in the middle.

10:20 - 11:30 is my thoughts exactly! Its the fight of the century between two legendary titans as it was foretold by the ancients of long ago, LET THEM FIGHT HERE WE GO!!!! While they are majestic and amazing beasts, we do want to see them throw down at the end of the day and that cannot be denied that monkey punch lizard face makes serotonin rush go WWWWWWSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

I guess only time will tell if Legendary has anything up their sleeves here.

I bet they will, it's how trailer works.

Anyways, let's not kid ourselves here, this movie will have bad story and awful human characters, just like the previous godzilla movie. Let's just hope fight scenes will be intense, correctly directed and not saturated by dust etc. The cinematography already looks generic as f**k.

Looks almost like upside down mountains coming from above, presumably some sort of layer of Earth above Kong's head.

Also, unrelated to the Hollow Earth but related to that shot, it looks kind of like the Super X flying behind him. If they're gonna do that, we should get some Maser Tanks in here, too! 8)

I'm betting it's an ancient weapon he's gonna pick up a bit later in the film when they get into the mythology of the old wars between the species. Maybe he gets his ass handed to him by Godzilla the first time around and this evens it out a bit.

Judging by this still, the axe seems to be glowing. Perhaps it sort of absorbs Godzilla's beam to "charge" the axe for some other kind of attack?

And on the topic of glowing blue energy, the area that Kong is standing on here, where the blue energy is radiating out from, seems to actually be in the shape of Godzilla.

The final scene in the trailer, with Kong jumping towards Godzilla definitely has the axe look like it's absorbing the energy and then releasing it upon impact.

Im looking forward to this film but my 1 big hope is that the military have finally learnt after all their encounters with Godzilla that their bullets, missiles, bombs etc have no effect at all.  They know that he survived a point blank Hydorgen bomb so if this movie is again filled with dozens of F-35's attacking i will not be happy.

Mechagodzilla is a given, and I'd say some sort of Godzilla disguise is indeed likely, though I'd say that the majority of the shots that we saw in the trailer are likely of the real Godzilla.

If I had to guess, Mechagodzilla's presence is probably what has him so riled up, considering he was a "good guy" in the last two outings. I'd be willing to bet that Godzilla sees Mechagodzilla as a challenger to the throne, in the way that King Ghidorah was, and there are a few reasons as to why that may be the case. Option A, perhaps Mechagodzilla is built around the skeleton of the deceased Godzilla corpse that we saw in the 2014 film, so Mechagodzilla appears to Godzilla as a living creature and a challenger. Option B, the severed Ghidorah head is a sort of "brain" within the Mechagodzilla chassis, and it evokes the same reaction out of Godzilla. Or option C, Mechagodzilla is outfitted with the Orca tech from KotM and the humans that are controlling Mechagodzilla are specifically using that to rile up the real Godzilla.

Godzilla Vs. Kong Has Guillermo Del Toro All Fired Up for a Pacific Rim Crossover (As a fan)

https://movieweb.com/godzilla-vs-kong-pacific-rim-crossover/

Quote2013's Pacific Rim was del Toro's love letter to Japanese monster cinema and anime. The movie saw humanity building giant robots known as Jaegers in order to fight monstrous creatures that are invading Earth from another planet. Unfortunately, Guillermo del Toro left the franchise after the first movie. When a fan asked the filmmaker if he would be interested in returning to the series to make a movie where the Jaegers face off against Kong and Godzilla, del Toro had a firm answer ready.

"Talking only as a fan BTW - NO plans to return."

What makes the possibility of a Pacific Rim/MonsterVerse crossover particularly tantalizing is the fact that the two franchises are both owned by Legendary. The MonsterVerse movies are often criticized for featuring boring human characters who have no effect on the monsters or the plot of the films.

But that opinion would change pretty quickly if the humans were given Jaeger technology to punch Godzilla in the mouth the next time it tries to use its atomic breath. Pacific Rim: Uprising director Steven S. DeKnight has previously confirmed that the powers that be at Legendary are aware of the potential for a fusion of the two Kaiju-themed franchises, and a crossover movie is a definite possibility.

"There's been a lot of discussion about that possibility [of crossing over]. Look I think it would be fantastic to have the Pacific Rim universe join Legendary's Monster Universe, it seems like a natural step. And part of the big overall plan after the third movie we've talked about is that could happen, it's always a possibility. It's by far not a certainty; it's merely theoretical at this point, but as a fan myself I would love to see that happen."
______________________________________________________

I know he won't return but least he is on board on the idea of the universe crossover. Glad that many on board for it in general. Its just the matter of finding who is worthy and capable enough to captain this ship. What do you guys think, like the idea of a crossover?

It looks great! Nice references to previous designs, but the T-Rex like proration sand segmented armor are unique. The face is nice and menacing. I also love the dorsal plates with the red veins.

Singular Point is shaping up to be great.

It watched that movie in the theatres back in the day, I was 9 year's old. And I remember that I hated King Kong for killing all those T-Rexes (I know, they are V-Rex but in those days I didn't know that)

Love that face to face roaring scene!  Looks like Kong is defeated on the ground.   ;)  I'm guessing this is the part where Mechagodzilla might interrupt it and Godzilla will go after it.  Kong will then go help his new master.  Right, Omegamorph? haha

Because he's fighting a giant atomic fire breathing god. It's a hard sell, so they have to trick people into thinking he actually has a chance. Which, thanks to plot armor, he does.

Intentional or not, Godzilla going in Jaws mode looks cool. Plus, I get larva Mothra vibes from the clips.

(https://i.ibb.co/HNZW7yV/godzilla-king-of-the-monsters-toho-fans-and-mothra-millie-bobby-brown.jpg)

On a side note; Kong being friendly with a human is something similar to the original classic (of course not like "beauty and the beast" and more like "the kid who can pet the monster"). Maybe this is Kong vs V. Rex the movie  :laugh:

Was watching a TV spot today and it looks like Millie Bobby Brown aka Madison Russell was possibly "piloting" Mechagodzilla.  They also kind of hinted at that in the TV spot where her and other character get frightened by another who yells "ahhh" and follows up with "it's so massive."

I thought so too, but I'm starting to think mecha is going to remain all metal and just be wheeled out in the last few moments of the movie.

Spoiler
it's also very disappointing to see images and footage which hint at the kids being inside Mechagodzilla. I hope they have no influence over any fight whatsoever. I dont want the movie to keep cutting to a bunch of kids yelling about pulling plugs while we should be watching a godzilla brawl.

I might just be being overly picky in a OCD kind of way, but that axe looks weird in that the leather looks like it just wraps all the way around the shaft even though it just shouldn't because the axe head being there shouldn't allow it, it just really sticks out like a sore thumb to me as a poor photoshop job or something.

that's from well before pac rim tho I remember some dreadful discussions from 2008-2010 arguing that the cloverfield monster should be called a 'kaiju'

it's so overused by manchildren - like 'xenomorph' and 'yautja' - that it just tastes bad to the eye and the ear whenever used

From that last trailer it looks like Singular Point is 'hybridizing' some of its kaiju with a Kumonga with Megalon drills, Kamacuras with Gigan scythes and a blue Dogora looking Hedorah (?).

Rodan has something to do with a flock of smaller Pteranodons and Titanosaurus has something to do with Manda. A smaller Anguirus fights Jet Jaguar who has three different forms - short legs, a wheeled attachment and longer legs with the classic chest design. A meaner looking Gabara is doing something.

SP Godzilla is officially 'Godzilla Ultima.'

The eco-terror angle was a poor reason for unleashing the titans, that and the whole family angle was utter crap. Not to mention they killed serizawa.

If they had ignored the family stuff, and had the titans being released for the sole purpose of killing godzilla, it would've been a step in the right direction.

And don't get me started on the fact that they had basically no buildup for the oxygen destroyer. That was unforgivable.

The KOTM script was really bad.
That said, the film is really respectful of the mythology of this universe. The monsters are overly iconized, which is a really good move. The fights are impressive and technically successful. Then especially this music, this monster opera, was of such power.
Definitely a poorly written film, but what a regressive pleasure.

I have almost no interest in this Godzilla vs Kong.
The film seems equally stupid and sounds quite ugly visually, and I feel absolutely nothing in terms of epic power.

My jumbled thoughts -

Godzilla vs Kong definitely goes full 'monster movie.' It has a big, fun, adventurous heart, basically the super earnest Journey to the Center of the Earth/At the Earth's Core version of one of these movies. There are tons of little (and big) nods to the 1962 film throughout and for the most part I found it enjoyable and inoffensive. Kids will love it.

It does play a bit more like a straight Kong: Skull Island sequel though, just so happening to have Godzilla in it. Team Kong (Alexander Skarsgård, Rebecca Hall, Kaylee Hottle) are definitely the more fleshed out and engaging side to the story. Team Godzilla (Millie Bobby Brown, Brian Tyree Henry, Julian Dennison) and the villains (Shun Oguri, Eiza González, Demián Bichir) are broad and cartoonish. Kyle Chandler is just there, trying to figure out which movie he's in.

It has less going on than KOTM, mostly to its benefit, sometimes to its detriment – like I said; there are really broad and cartoonish moments for sure with 'convenient' problem solving for the characters. It's like King Kong vs Godzilla meets Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla meets Jules Verne meets Edgar Rice Burroughs, with lots of super-satured, Pacific Rim-esque colors.

More thoughts –
Spoiler
The storm that wiped out Skull Island could've been elaborated on more, and I guess all the Titans from KOTM are dead for whatever reason. None of the new or briefly returning monsters receive any generous screen time.

It's nice seeing a more destructive Godzilla in one of these movies for once, the monster scenes in general in either broad daylight or brightly lit, colorful cityscapes (ala Pac Rim) were more than welcome.

I don't know how to feel about the conspiracy theorist guy. I mean, first of all, it's not much of a conspiracy when giant monsters are walking around. Also, in today's climate, depicting a conspiracy theorist in a positive light might not be the best idea.

Like Kyle Chandler, Mechagodzilla is just kinda there, no real rhyme or reason for it, and quite a leap from even the Argo superjet from KOTM. He's not justified well at all in the story; he's just there cause the evil bad guy said he could build him.

Unless I missed it there's absolutely no mention of Ren Serizawa being the son of Ishirō Serizawa. He's just there too, piloting Mechagodzilla via Ghidorah's remains in a highly convoluted manner.

Godzilla drilling to the center of the earth joins stopping an artificial black hole and Monster X's meteor for most outlandish atomic breath feats. (They made a big deal entering Hollow Earth, not so much exiting.)

As a movie of this type there are several (for me, forgivable) lapses in logic, but somehow short-circuiting Mechagodzilla by splashing liquor on a computer is a bridge too far. I don't understand how that was even seriously suggested let alone kept in a final shooting script.

Thomas Holkenborg's score was serviceable but KOTM by Bear McCreary was considerably better.

Oh, and for the obligatory Marvel/DC comparison, I'd say it's nowhere as good as Captain America: Civil War, but certainly better than Batman v Superman. This movie has heart where BVS has none.

Well I thought it was better than KOTM. Human characters useless as usual (gold medal for Kyle Chandler), plot dumb as hell, with stupid plot devices. A few interesting stuff regarding the fights though.

Spoiler
The POV shot of Kong kneeing Godzilla was cool. The fights were overall more readable than the ones in KOTM. Kong was waaay more present in the movie than Godzilla. The little girl plot device is dumb, there is no build up to it, the story just need this thing to exist to motivate Kong to do what he does in the movie.

Seek out the original Japanese version if you can. Your mileage may still vary but things - the lighthearted adventurous tone, the humor, etc. - 'click' into place a lot better when there aren't interjections from the peanut gallery. (You also get Akira Ifukube's full score as well, which always beefs up a Toho monster movie.)

What the 1962 and 2021 films absolutely have in common is that celebratory, self-aware 'wrestling match' feel to the monster fights.

So this movie is about a CEO building his own robot with the help of the head of a long dead villain, and said villain uploads his consciousness into a shiny new body, while the hero senses his presence.

Is there any explanation as why Kong is of similar size to Godzilla? Or maybe Godzilla isn't as big as the previous films? I'm sure there was a massive size difference.

My jumbled thoughts -

Godzilla vs Kong definitely goes full 'monster movie.' It has a big, fun, adventurous heart, basically the super earnest Journey to the Center of the Earth/At the Earth's Core version of one of these movies. There are tons of little (and big) nods to the 1962 film throughout and for the most part I found it enjoyable and inoffensive. Kids will love it.

It does play a bit more like a straight Kong: Skull Island sequel though, just so happening to have Godzilla in it. Team Kong (Alexander Skarsgård, Rebecca Hall, Kaylee Hottle) are definitely the more fleshed out and engaging side to the story. Team Godzilla (Millie Bobby Brown, Brian Tyree Henry, Julian Dennison) and the villains (Shun Oguri, Eiza González, Demián Bichir) are broad and cartoonish. Kyle Chandler is just there, trying to figure out which movie he's in.

It has less going on than KOTM, mostly to its benefit, sometimes to its detriment – like I said; there are really broad and cartoonish moments for sure with 'convenient' problem solving for the characters. It's like King Kong vs Godzilla meets Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla meets Jules Verne meets Edgar Rice Burroughs, with lots of super-satured, Pacific Rim-esque colors.

More thoughts –
Spoiler
The storm that wiped out Skull Island could've been elaborated on more, and I guess all the Titans from KOTM are dead for whatever reason. None of the new or briefly returning monsters receive any generous screen time.

It's nice seeing a more destructive Godzilla in one of these movies for once, the monster scenes in general in either broad daylight or brightly lit, colorful cityscapes (ala Pac Rim) were more than welcome.

I don't know how to feel about the conspiracy theorist guy. I mean, first of all, it's not much of a conspiracy when giant monsters are walking around. Also, in today's climate, depicting a conspiracy theorist in a positive light might not be the best idea.

There have been a few conspiracies that turned out true in the past few decades, so he fit, though he was completely a waste of screen time, as was the two teenagers. She didn't grow anywhere from the last film.  The city fights looked great.  The movie is transparent in what it was meant to be, and that is to sell action figures.  My biggest eyeroll was not that Godzilla shot radiation breath through hundreds or thousands of miles of the Earth, it was that apparently Kong axe-grinded the entire distance to fight Godzilla lol. There were some cool easter eggs too.

Godzilla went nuclear just a few yards from where she was laying. That's not counting the possibility she was melted by the "building melting" heating G was visibly putting out around him, or flat out disintegrated by the mothra blast waves that disintegrated structures and pieces of Gidora (or whatever its name is).

Adding in her internal injuries, there was no possibility of survival. She was crushed, cremated, her ashes blown away, and then nuked.

Honestly the movie was worth watching just for the bits where Kong recreates moments from Die Hard and Lethal Weapon 2. :laugh: I did like it as a whole, though, even if I am disappointed that Bruce Baxter didn't get his rematch with Kong.

And it's cool seeing Godzilla walk on all fours. I'm guessing Terry Rossio contributed that, since that happens in his 90s Godzilla script.

Nice visuals. This is the only positive thing I have to say about the film. It's a failure from start to finish.
GvK fails unsurprisingly on its narrative, but I had not imagined it ridiculing the two titans so much.
The film completely misses its subject, forget the iconization of previous movies, here the monsters arrive and leave in general indifference. We feel nothing, no power, no tension, no breath, no suspended moment. The apocalyptic atmosphere has completely disappeared.
We have taken another step in terms of scriptwriting weakness, it's degree zero in terms of characters, motivations or their usefulness.

Well, that was GLORIOUSLY ridiculous. If nothing else, they nailed the tone of high camp insanity that the original KKVG did so well.

Spoiler
I'm of two minds about the human 'plots.' The Kong Plot - everything involving Kong and his little found family crew - was a lot of fun, but Team Godzilla had a pretty rough showing. The Apex stuff was really a slog, and the movie stopped dead every time they switched to it. The fact that none of the main actors (all three of whom are great in everything else they're in) could make it work kinda says it all; I'd rather have seen more hollow Earth stuff.

I mean, the movie implies that Kong is the last survivor a civilization of Giant Warrior Ape-People From the Center of The Earth, and then we cut back to Apex.Talk about burying the lead! That said, I can't believe they were actually insane enough to do Mechagodzilla (they even did the beam lock!), so kudos there. His claw machine hands were silly in exactly the right way, and I love that we finally got a Kong/Goji team-up after all these years.

On that note, as much as I've enjoyed Hero Goji, it was surprisingly fun to see him be a psychotic city-smashing asshole again. I also loved Kong's face just before he passed out after Round One. It so perfectly captured the vibe of  "Dude... That guy SUCKS..."  ;D

And yeah the story is like a 13-year old's script... it's a full-on, no questions asked entertainment movie. Just a fast paced rollercoaster ride with very few pretentions.[/spoiler]

Thats going to be the issue that will split the fanbase forever, make it too human based drama with character arcs and people will bitch about less monster fights in a monster movie. Have more monster in it and the ones who want more writing will also bitch fit about it. Its one issue that will never have an answer to.

I will say that Ren Serizawa was super underused, resorted to an elite mook character despite being the son of a prominent character from past films. I was hoping for a few lines to see how he hated Godzilla and his father's ideas of monster co existing but nothing at all on anything.

Dindt like it,  fights boring and unimaginative.  These beasts should be amazing on screan but they are just boring.  Smash into building after building, rinse and repeat.  Kong spent more time beating his chest than he did beating Godzilla but i feal that was just to enable Godzilla winning a fight he would clearly lose.  Kong's speed and intelligence would give his such and edge over GZ and considering he had the axe aswell,  GOdzilla winning was just ridiculous.  And dont even get me started on the big daft toy they threw out there.  Do we make tanks and jets that roar?  just ridiculous

He beats his chest twice in the film, while he does sick head slams, punches, and drop kicks on Godzilla in most of the second half of this film. WTF were you even looking for in this film? What imaginative fights do you want in this film? I need answers.

Also quick question :
Spoiler
did Godzilla laughed when torching Kong's ass with atomic breath ? It sure looked like it.

He did and:

Spoiler
Its honestly disturbing in a good way, this is such a new vib from him I never seen in other films. He is ether angry and vengeful, a force of nature, or a good guy monster but here he does a sadistic serial killer smile and laugh, like goddamm.

Which reminds me of something:

How did they get King Ghidorah's head if the ones who had it last time was from Alan Jonah and his terrorist group?

I think it would have been better with more of a balance of screen time between Godzilla & Kong.

Have the human reaction to Godzilla's rampage, and show the evacuation and military response. Have team Kong in a race against time to get the power source because big G is too powerful to stop and Apex say they have a way to stop him. It's only a minor variation on what was delivered but it would make the stakes a bit higher.

Also, more ground level shots showing how big the creatures are - when you're viewing things from Kong's perspective, it throws the sense of scale off.

It is true Kong has clearly more screen time than Godzilla, he's the one moving the plot forward. Regarding human reaction to Godzilla's rampage, it has already been done in the last two entries, maybe it would have been redundant at this point.

I gotta bring up that they didn't utilized Kong's intelligence and mouth full of fangs more in these fights. There were plenty of times that Kong could have bitten into Godzilla's throat or gills when Godzilla was biting him as well or made use of his brains to set up environmental traps for Godzilla to fall for. I saw a lot more agility and resourcefulness from Peter Jackson's King Kong when he fought three V-Rexes. Godzilla could have been a bit staggered more from taking hits from his weakpoints like the gills, have Kong's mind running the gears and see him use that new info in the new fight or use Godzilla's rage to run into a trap Kong had ready for him.

Fight was amazing, but it was missing somethings here and there.

They probably accentuated the differences between Kong and Godzilla's attacks (punches/kicks vs bites/tail strikes) in the second half to give them their own style of fighting. I think it worked.

Maybe, but it worked in all the Japanese Godzilla films. There was obviously stuff filmed for it as well, hence why we had 10 seconds of Lance Reddick, it just didn't make final cut.

They probably accentuated the differences between Kong and Godzilla's attacks (punches/kicks vs bites/tail strikes) in the second half to give them their own style of fighting. I think it worked.

Fighting styles if fine to differentiate the kaiju's abilities but Godzilla used all his natural abilities in the battle, such as large claws to maul Kong on the chest and even used his size, weight, and power to do a judo throw on Kong when he was on his back, so its not just bites and tail strikes. Godzilla clearly used his assets mostly while Kong didn't use his huge ass fangs that could have done some powerful damage if he chomped on Godzilla's throat or even use his mind power more to use the environment to his advantage in battle, or try to exploit a weakness from him, which by going for the throat as most animals do, would have let him discover that Godzilla's gills are a huge weakness for him to strike, as Monarch files details hitting Godzilla there causes greatest pain.

One example: I recall that in Kong: Skull Island, he was more resourceful in fighting the giant Skullcrawler, using parts of the plane as slashing weapons and even figuring out his enemy's weakness that its large tongue is connected to its organs so instead of pulling away, he plunged his fist deeper to get a better grip and pulled out everything, thus killing his most hated enemy. I was hoping to see something similar where Godzilla was chomping on Kong's forearm, Kong could have punched Godzilla's gills in a attempt to get him off, see Godzilla stagger badly and figure out that spot is a big ouch for Godzilla, making Kong change tactics in targeting the area, meanwhile Godzilla would adapt and go on the defensive.

I'm just saying that the conclusion of their fight is strong and understandable but Kong should have gotten in some harder hits than he originally did, his abilities is sort of underutilized.

I'm not saying he lacked smarts, rather the writers didn't utilized Kong's intelligence enough as I hoped. Like we see how he makes tree spears in the beginning scene, I was hoping to see him do something similar with some of the structures nearby, or goad Godzilla's rage into a trap he set up for him.


Besides all of that, am I the one who was thrown out the suspension of disbelief when somehow one can just download energy from the core of the Earth like downloading pirated pc games from a website? I did find that very silly out of all the things in the film.

I guess they compensated by giving Kong more direct hits, I think he struck Godzilla more times overall, the hits were just less definitive.

And I agree, but man oh man this film is filled with silly things and poor plot devices.

Fair enough, haven't seen any Transformer films apart from the first. Still waiting for a big budget Hollywood version of Gojira 1954/Shin Godzilla because Godzilla 2014 failed in that regard yet it's still the best in the MonsterVerse. GvK get's a pass from me, hope it does well in the box office but one can dream that truly terrifying and ambitious Godzilla movie will be considered in the future.
Silly monster brawl fastfood entertainment is fine and all but it isn't what Godzilla really is about. Just hope that GvK isn't a sign of things to come.

I feel the same. The exact tipping point was when Kong had Ann and was just waving her around screaming for just ... Too long.

Then the V-Rex fight happened, and it went so long it went from being exciting to frustrating. Just when you thought the fight was ending some other bullshit happened.

I don't know what happened to Jackson but from then on he just could not keep action scenes to any sorry of reasonable length. The only thing more drawn out than Kong was the f**king river barrel scene in The Hobbit.

I know Revenge of the Fallen is the biggest piece of shit ever, but if you're willing to accept a movie about a kid buying his first car just so he can get into a girl's pants while searching for a magic Rubik's cube that turns vending machines into transformers then why can't you get into Transformers 4, a movie about Optimus struggling with his faith in humanity while a corporation builds it's own robot with the aid of the head of a fallen villain, who then takes said robot to China where it comes to life and wrecks Hong Kong. Oh wait, that's the plot of Godzilla vs Kong and it gets 75% on Rotten Tomatoes for some reason. I guess big, loud, dumb, poorly written movies are only terrible when Michael Bay makes them. ::)

It's the first truly big movie, that feels like a movie since the pandemic started. It symbolizes a return to normalcy and that has people amped up. And that's not counting the fans who have waited an extra year just to see it. Like the movie, we've all just faced a giant adversary and have overcome. It's a big deal to all kinds of people right now, and on many levels.

As time goes by, and things keep returning to normal, those tomatoes may go slightly more rotten. Right now, its barely been in theaters for a few weeks and it's riding one heck of an unusual wave. It's not going to be unfairly regarded as some great masterpiece once all is said and done. But it will be remembered as part of the pandemic saga, and likely in a positive manner.

You're right. Age of Extinction at least has an amazing blend of CGI and practical effects, superior cinematography, a more memorable score, better villains and characters that actually undergo some character development. Age of Extinction is obviously the superior film.

I'm just struggling to understand why Godzilla Vs Kong, an objectively bad film is getting such praise after 10 years of everyone ripping on the Transformers movies for pretty much being the same thing, did everyone just decide overnight it was ok to lower the bar?

I had fun with Godzilla vs Kong. And I could make sense of the action. And I find the worldbuilding stuff here fun in a silly, 60s Toho kind of way. It's endearing.

The Transformers installments I've seen bored me and were an incomprehensible mess.

Yes. Jeremy Jahns is an idiot, I've known that for years. by the way, I've already heard every negative thing anyone has had to say about the movie and 80% of it is hyperbolic bullshit. "This movie has a family you won't care about." Why can't I care about them, Jahns? Why can't I care about them? ::)

Godzilla and King Kong has a long cinematic historic influence in film history than Transformers did so people would look at the film more favorably?

The first Transformers was enjoyable because the good stuff far outweighed the bad. Unfortunately that balance shifted in the sequels (to varying degrees) to the point when I don't enjoy them at all.

Having only seen the first two monsterverse movies I can't comment on GvK, but with Godzilla I thought it was a similar case of too much bad for too little good, except replace bad with simply dull. Skull Island was a lot of fun though.

Post by: Nightmare Asylum on Apr 10, 2021, 06:03:10 PM
I really love the sense of scale that the 2014 film conveys. None of the films that followed really captured that feeling – Godzilla is moving like a 6 foot guy in a suit by Godzilla vs Kong, whereas in Godzilla he truly feels colossal and every movement his body makes has a tremendous effect on the world around him.

Now, I am also very happy to have both takes existing within the same continuity. I love that it can just move from the "serious" 2014 take to the full blown cartoon that is GvK, with each filmmaker playing fast and loose with those specifics to suit whatever it is that they want to do with the big guy.

Honestly, these days where every big franchise feels so serialized and interconnected, I wish more movie series would play things a bit more fast and loose from installment to installment, especially when each one is helmed by a different filmmaker.

I think that in Godzilla 2014 the treatment of the monsters is relatively "realistic" : in a way it is soft fantasy. In King of the Monsters and Godzilla vs Kong we're in deep fantasy territory (with sci-fi elements). It is entertaining and it is also of course surely more in line with the tradition of Godzilla movies (I confess I don't know them), but there are also losses on several fronts. Notably in the last movie it is hard to find this Godzilla majestuous in the final fight, although in the first few minutes of the movie they've managed to show him as truly terrifying. G vs K is pure entertainment (one step further than King of the monsters) and it is not bad per se, but we're quite remote from the spirit of the 2014 movie, which managed to be entertaining without sacrificing plausibility.

If they do continue the Monsterverse, I'd like to see more self contained solo movies for new kaiju, in the style of the first two: give an indie-style director with a distinct style an individual monster, and let them do what they want.

One paleo geek theorized that if Godzilla were a dinosaur (yup, like that Heisei era fictional theropod (https://godzilla.fandom.com/wiki/Godzillasaurus)) it would be a ceratosaurian abelisuarid, probably related to Skorpiovenator and Ceratosaurus. The author of the video relates the Kaiju to this particular group of dinosaurs due to the plates, the short head and snout, and the 4-digit hands; all characteristic features of Abelisaurs. I know the plates resemble those of the Stegosaurus, but since Godzilla has the body posture of a theropod, the theory makes some sense.

And if you read the comments, there is also an interesting theory of Godzilla as a mutated amphibian archosaur, which were not dinosaurs, probably related to Postosuchus.

Although out fiction, Godzilla design is a chimera made up of different animals, mostly early and outdated dinosaur reconstructions: T.Rex, Stegosaurus, Iguanodon and Aligator.

Edit: Just found the source of the claims made in the video.

I feel like I'm being pedantic, but Reptilia and Amphibia are distinct classes, so there neither are nor were amphibian archosaurs. Although, if Godzilla was a mutated Pseudosuchian archosaur, then he'd be very very distantly related to Rodan, since Rodan's a mutated pterosaur, an Avemetatarsalian archosaur.

Oh amphibian habits I meant, like the ones that crocodiles have; or the hypothetical lifestyle of the Spinosaurus (yes I know, a dinosaur). That said, I think you are right about Rodan, if we follow this fan theory.

Jet Jaguar is also great so far. Episode 4 comes out tomorrow on Netflix Japan.

I'm several chapters in now, and so far:

Spoiler
1. Russian mercenaries working on an oil rig capture an octopus-like titan. It sits wounded on the bottom of the sea, covered in nets. A Mr. Rosalez (the money) shows up. Godzilla appears and frees the titan. A sub tries to drop a net on Godzilla, but he destroys it. Rosalez escapes as godzilla destroys the sub, the oil rig and kills everyone.

There's a meeting in Pensacola where a guy named Simmons is shown a photo of 2 of 3 artifacts he's been looking for. He starts liquidating assets so he can buy them.

2. Brief chapter about the Tarzan brothers. The one who flies into the hollow earth is seemingly killed when his plane emerges from the "jet stream" at uncontrollable speed. The media seemed to have little interest in the expedition.

3. The last 6 or 7 skull island natives are fleeing a giant storm which is destroying the island. They get ambushed in the rising waters and eaten by creatures until it's just the deaf kid and her "sister-mother", who sacrifices herself during a tsunami to throw the kid up into a tree. Kong finds the kid and saves her.

Godzilla made the other titans go back to sleep and has found a new "sanctuary". He wakes up later because one is "not where it's supposed to be". He gets angry, and leaves the hollow earth after staring momentarily at the skull of the "ancient adversary his kind had driven out but never fully defeated".

4. The kid has been adopted and hangs out with Kong, who is now at his full growth level, and is kept inside a large bio dome by monarch. He throws a makeshift spear at the sun, which breaks the ceiling, and startles him. Brief conversation about a bat-titan Kong fought named Camazotz. The other large predators on the island have starved to death.

It's stated that Kong can't be held much longer, due to his nutritional needs and the fact he will escape. The Ilene character has been working with Kong for 10 years and is worried that if he's taken somewhere else, Godzilla will come after him and Kong might be killed.

The film has exceeded initial expectations overseas broadly as well where COVID-19 cases had been reduced far better than in the United States.

Godzilla versus Kong is set in Hong Kong. That might've helped the China box office.

Godzilla versus Kong is set in Hong Kong. That might've helped the China box office.
I think the same can be said for Pacific Rim (1).

;)

I don't know. They loved the Warcraft movie as well, and who knows. But IIRC, South Koreans loved the game. I have no idea if it was that popular in China though.

Wanted to wait until cinemas open here, but last evening felt like watching it. It's definitely the best in the MonsterVerse series, brainless CGI cartoon but entertaining, self aware and consistent with good pacing and flow 6.5/10. Will probably have to see it on the big screen too.

Since the movie is quite successful there will be another, I wonder what's next. They have put themselves in a corner having too much stuff crammed into few movies: Mothra, Ghidorah, Kong, MechaGodzilla, Rodan, hollow earth... all done. What's next to keep it fresh, Biollante, Destroyah? My guess one more, then a reboot (though I really love the current G design).

^ I want to see Gigan.

I've watched it 7 times...can't get enough.  I do, however, forward it through Madison and her crew's scenes.  I prefer Kong's crew.

They mastered Kong's emotions.  Loved them!  Especially when

he get's shocked back to life and smiles when he sees Jia.  So pure!

A lot depends on what licenses they can get from Toho. GvK was the last one in their current contract.

I think the scale is messed up constantly. They only look 150 feet tall on the aircraft carrier. Kong looks tiny while chained up in the front of the ship.

Easily the worst of the series. Horrible human element. I actually liked KOTM quite a bit, and G2014 suffered from too little Godzilla. Skull Island is still the best of the bunch.

You do understand that a US Carrier is roughly 1100 feet long and 250 feet wide. As for the ship carrying Kong it looked like a ship carrier which are huge in there own right.

All still matches up. Plus we don't know how big the carrier is in the movie. Plus the planes look the same size in all the movies.

Skull Island is still the best of the bunch.

I think it's an entertaining and beautiful movie with those Tequila Sunrise colors that remind me of Coopola's Apocalypse Now color palette, a movie that saw the light of day largely because Hollywood studios had not yet been absorbed by entertainment corporations and the executives were true film nerds and not businessmen like today, even though the least thing the US wanted was to see a movie about that lost war. I choose to believe that it was a nice tribute to that director.

(https://i.ibb.co/6FKNk9x/apocalypse-now-donald-trump-1534867844.jpg)

The cast is superior to the other Legendary films, with A names like Tom Hiddleston, Samuel L. Jackson, John C. Reilly (I find his character very charismatic  :laugh:), Brie Larson, Jing Tian and John Goodman. So we're back to this lost world out of time, where the human being has been reduced to live hidden, like extinct rodents, on an island dominated by giant monsters; more or less like when mammals lived hidden in underground dens during the Mezzozic era dominated mainly by dinosaurs and other giant reptiles. Even so we see a lost tribe, civilization or culture in most of the movies that feature the Skull Island. And unsurprisingly, Kong has a natural enemy in this installment as well. In the past it was a T. Rex, then a hypothetical descendant of said creature in Peter Jackson's master remake, and now: a huge two legged komodo dragon-mosasaur thing with a bony structure similar to Cubone's skull from Pokemon!  :laugh:

(https://i.ibb.co/tQqsSHy/2021128143232-1.jpg)
(https://i.ibb.co/QFdh4xP/king-kong.jpg)

The Skullcrawler is definitely inspired by King Kong's two-legged lizard from 1933, which appeared to be an inhabitant of the pit ecosystem, and can beibg seen when Jack suvirved after King Kong destroyed the log bridge. The creature was climbing to reach Jack, but he quickly grabbed a dagger and cut the vine, making the lizard fall into the chasm.

(https://i.ibb.co/XkBgkKT/d23a1d7b6867c3eff2c90059efaabc9c.jpg)

That said, I did like the creatures from the Legendary remake, although I must admit I did miss the dinosaurs a bit. I must be biased since I'm a paleo nerd. There were pterosaur-like creatures, which although not dinosaurs, seem to suggest that life forms similar to the fauna of the Mezozoic could inhabit Legendary Skull Island, in addition to a triceratop skull, which I imagine is part of the menu of the Skullcrawler species. But gosh! that fictional triceratop must be hugeeeee!  :o

Yeah, what we got Mutos instead and a friendly cool looking pet. Still the film had some great atmospheric shots and good sense of scale yet Godzilla vs Kong has the least resemblance to G2014 teaser/trailers but somehow ended up being the best so far. I'm afraid it's success means more cartoonish films in the foreseeable future unfortunately. Luckily Shin Godzilla helped to ease the pain a bit. But there is still so much potential untapped as this teaser proves.

Just finished Singular Point. It may sound knee-jerky to be saying this so soon. I literally just finished it, and Godzilla has a 65+ year cinematic history. But I'm gonna say it anyways. This is one of the very best Godzilla installments to date. I am so beyond impressed right now.

It was significantly better than I thought it would be. There was a lot of Shin Godzilla influence, which was cool, but there wasn't a lot of Godzilla in general. The science almost made sense, and I liked the plot, though it did feel overstuffed at times.

Music was bloody catchy, though!

I definitely liked it way more than the last Godzilla anime. While it's easy enough to follow along with it does kind of approach Kingdom Hearts critical mass of not making sense. It's better but I feel like towards the end I needed to start taking notes.

Despite absolutely despising a lot of the (human) character designs.... You're completely right. All the little references, making the humans not just interesting but the main plot and completely pulling that off, the cosmic horror angle. This thing is f**king gold.

Post by: nanison on Aug 12, 2021, 02:39:11 AM
I saw king kong vs godzilla today 2021

I was pleasantly surprised, I had low expectations due to not liking skull island and king of the monsters. The plot is silly and the action is over the top just like the Japanese Kaiju films but it was fun. I was constantly going from this is silly to this was cool but eventually the this is cool part started to take over.
I didn't like the scenes in hollow earth bar the monster fight there. My gripe is that it was badly shot, kong never looked bigger than a tiny gorilla there, you put a massive monster in an area where it looks small and you take away the giant monster. I'm also not quite sure what they were doing there and why Kong knew what he had to do but yeah I tend to get distracted so I probably missed the reasoning.
Final battles were really cool but I can't help but dreaming of a more serious dramatic r rated film where humanity really is at stake with panic and chaos and destruction and a sense of dread and scale when the creatures are on screen. I missed that here. The original godzilla is still the closest to that vision, I wonder why it was never quite remade like that. Gareth Edwards tried and was successful imo but I always hoped the sequels stayed in that atmosphere and they didn't unfortunately.

Given Higuchi's involvement in the Heisei trilogy and Anno's partial involvement (he visited sets and made a 'making of' on Gamera 3) I think that might already be covered? But you never know.

I think we would sooner see Shin Super Sentai or Shin Gundam at this rate.

You could go about this a few different ways.

Godzilla, Kong and Gamera are definitely the 'main' giant monster trio.

Toho's official Top 5 are Godzilla, Mothra, King Ghidorah, Mechagodzilla and Rodan.

For kaiju/tokusatsu in general Godzilla, Ultraman, Kamen Rider and Gamera are the Mt Rushmore.

QuoteOn March 25, 2019, producers Alex Garcia and Zach Shields discussed the potential plans for the MonsterVerse beyond 2020, and suggested the possibility that Legendary could continue the series beyond 2020 if Godzilla: King of the Monsters and Godzilla vs. Kong performed well. On May 7, Michael Dougherty expressed interest in directing a prequel set in prehistoric times exploring how primitive humans survived against the Titans, humanity's first encounter with Godzilla, and how its relationship with Godzilla was christened.

On April 27, 2021, following the success of Godzilla vs. Kong, The Hollywood Reporter disclosed that director Adam Wingard was in early talks with Legendary Pictures to direct a fifth MonsterVerse film, with Son of Kong a potential title.

Max Borenstein told ScreenRant on August 3, 2021, "I've heard some exciting things that are happening that I can't divulge. They have a great handle on things there and I certainly have thoughts and am always excited when I get involved in them. I think it's in good hands and with the success of Godzilla vs. Kong, there will be some new, interesting installments coming. Without being able to say any of that officially, you can look at the fact that that film performed and people really responded to it. I think it was really wonderful timing for people to have that towards the end of that surge in the pandemic, people really felt eager to see something that was fun and joyful in the cinema and it was really exciting to have our movie be that movie."

QuoteNetflix announced a Skull Island animated TV series on January 27, 2021, with animation by Powerhouse Animation Studios. It is unknown when the series will take place or when it will be released.

QuoteIn an interview with Hidden Remote published on July 27, 2019, Toho's Head of Project Development, Akito Takahashi, stated that while he had no specific plans to share about the future of the Godzilla series after Godzilla vs. Kong, Toho had not ruled out co-productions with Legendary Pictures or new animated projects.

Apart from having a huge aversion to the seemingly dozens of streaming versions I also have an aversion for every property to get turned into a tv series or anime.
I don't see the appeal in tv series, they're long winding, only about 45 min per episode and then you have to wait another week for another episode which overall doesn't progress the story that much. Movies have a main plot line, that is where they're getting you hooked, tv shows have multiple storylines and there are bound to be a few you just don't care for.
Last but not least, I love rewatching movies but I refuse to rewatch a tv show because who has time for this anyway?

I guess it's a fine line between something being a slow-burner and something being overly long.

I really loved the Amazon series Bosch, but that was definitely slow at times, especially the first series.

Conversely everyone raved about Blade Runner 2049 but I thought that was at least half an hour longer than it ever needed to be.

Midnight Mass could've been a two hour movie, it gained nothing from being 7 hours long.

Likewise I'm watching Archive 81 and after two hours I feel like we've had about 10 minutes of actual story.

What about Netflix's DARK? AfterLife or The Terror? Or Sex Education or LD&R?

Sex Education is the only one of those I've seen and that was ok. I started The Terror but didn't finish, but that was Prime f**king up so I can't comment.

And if we're being picky I guess animated shows like Big Mouth are also fine.

But I find the horrors and dramas are getting increasingly dragged out and self indulgent.

Personally I'd love if this was monster of the week pulp and not ten hours of plot for twenty minutes of monster action but that seems to be the trend today.

You don't have to watch them all back to back, but if your complaint is that each episode is ~45mins it seems bizarre to not just watch two or three at once, then do the same the next time etc. Basically I'm saying your complaint is all over the place and it feels like you just have a bee in your bonnet about this newfangled streaming malarkey.

The point I'm trying to make is that I want to see the beginning the middle and the end in one go. Watching 3 episodes would still leave me with cliffhangers. The format of a tv show is not my cup of tea unless each episode is self contained.

It was the same with the recent chucky show. I love the films but by the time the 6th episode was released I already got fed up with it. Who really was interested in Chucky's past? I wasn't... Sometimes less is more. Especially with monster movies or slashers. What story can possibly be good enough to expand over 10 episodes? I want monster action and suspense and a little human drama not the other way round.
If it gets good reviews I will find a way to watch it but then they have to be really really positive reviews.

A tv show I loved was and Rome. This I loved for the drama, intrigue, characters, scheming etc. There are hundreds of stories to tell from that era, that show was in fact way too short lol!

Anyway if people love it then by all means I hope they enjoy itl, I'm not trying to spoil the excitement some people might have for this announcement :-)

Sounds like you would enjoy a TV-to-movie fan edit. Condensed plot with extraneous storylines removed, all wrapped up in a 2-3 hour sitting.

"Remake of the first Godzilla?" Director Takashi Yamazaki to shoot "Masterpiece Monster Movie" (tentative title) set in Japan immediately after the end of the war

Godzilla appears at the beginning of "Always-Sunset on Third Street" directed by Yamazaki. "Godzilla can't be put out unless it's Showa," he said.

Poster of the first "Godzilla" when it was released in 1954

Director Takashi Yamazaki, known for the "Always-Sunset on Third Street" series, has decided to shoot a "masterpiece monster movie" (tentative title).

The stage is Japan in 1945-47 immediately after the end of the war. It is an era setting close to the first "Godzilla" released in 1954. Director Yamazaki, who included the appearance scene of Godzilla in the "Sunset on Third Street" series, said, "Godzilla can only be released in the Showa era."



"Maybe a remake of the first Godzilla?" Has become a hot topic on SNS.



■ Shooting is from mid-March to mid-June. Extra recruitment begins

On February 18, the video production company "Robot" announced that (http://movies.robot.co.jp/extra/yamazakimovie/) it would recruit volunteers to participate in the extras, saying that "the shooting of Toho's new movie" blockbuster monster movie "is finally decided . "


The shooting period is from mid-March to mid-June, and we plan to shoot in the Kanto area. Since the setting of the era is "Japan after the war in 1945-47", all the performers will be dressed as if they were prepared. Therefore, in addition to "perm / men's long hair", hair color is also NG. As a measure against the new corona, "at least 2 weeks have passed since the 2nd vaccination" is required. Detailed conditions are written on the notification page.



Director Yamazaki included a scene in which Godzilla destroys Tokyo in the 1955's at the beginning of "Always-Sunset on Third Street" released in 2007. At that time, he answered an interview (https://ascii.jp/elem/000/000/096/96793/) with ASCII.jp as follows.

"I thought that Godzilla couldn't be put out unless it was Showa, and I had thought that I would make Godzilla before, and I thought that Showa couldn't be separated."

　

■ Is it the first Godzilla or a big octopus? Fan speculation spreads

Director Yamazaki is known for his strong love for Godzilla. He is working on the video for the attraction (https://av.watch.impress.co.jp/docs/news/1318346.html) " Godzilla the Ride " (https://www.seibu-leisure.co.jp/amusementpark/attraction/godzilla.html) that started in May 2021 at Seibuen Amusement Park . For that reason, there are a number of voices on SNS that speculate that "maybe a remake of the first Godzilla" among special effects fans.

On the other hand, since "Godzilla" has not been announced at this time, some have speculated that it may be " Oodako ", which is known as the initial setting of the first Godzilla, or other Toho monsters such as Radon. (https://natalie.mu/eiga/news/194626)

"I didn't talk about Godzilla, what do you mean? It's a big octopus."
"Actually, the possibilities of Balan, Mothra, and Radon."

Since Godzilla is next due to appear in the Apple+ TV series, I'm wondering if perhaps this might be that rumored Son of Kong movie?

I'm still not entirely convinced that Godzilla is going to be any part of this. The "Godzilla vs Kong 2" descriptor being thrown around seems to just be doing a lot of legwork just to say that it's the next MonsterVerse movie, post-Godzilla vs Kong. It's been rumored for a while that Wingard would be directing a potential "Son of Kong" movie, and I'm inclined to believe that that's what this film project actually is.

Though, who knows I guess. Toho clearly did extend their license in some capacity for the MonsterVerse Apple+ TV series, so maybe that license extension is meant to apply to this particular film as well? Only time will tell!

Up until recently reports were making it seem like this next Adam Wingard-directed installment was going to be a "Son of Kong" movie and that the "Godzilla vs Kong sequel" descriptor was just a way of calling it "the next MonsterVerse movie" without actually specifying whether it would feature Godzilla, Kong, or both.

Today is the first official official word we've heard on the movie, and them sticking with the Godzilla vs Kong moniker this time around seems to be doing a lot of legwork in finally (seemingly) confirming that both monsters would be involved.

for those interested, I am currently working on a behind-the-scenes project of the 1998 film, which will include a website and a documentary on youtube. So stay tuned for next May! The narrator of the documentary is also a nifty surprise for all Alien scholars

Next year will be also a chance to talk about the various Godzillas on my blog, including Shin (which surprisingly shares a lot in common with the 1998 film)

Rewatching Godzilla films recently, one can identify how the Showa Godzilla goes from ghost of the atomic horror to what essentially amounts to a ronin - a mysterious stranger that saves a town from a villain, only larger in scale. The same pattern goes in the Heisei series with a different, darker spin, whereas the Millennium series is a series of branch-off narratives that reboot from the original. All very interesting stuff that is not often talked about

QuoteThe MonsterVerse Has Taken Yet Another Titan-Sized Step Forward
By Mike Reyes published about 2 hours ago

Let them fight...AGAIN!

After the huge success of 2021's Godzilla vs. Kong, it didn't take long for Warner Bros. to secure co-writer/director Adam Wingard for a sequel. This year has been particularly good to that project, as one huge leap saw this untitled sequel dated to be released in March 2024. Now another Titan-sized forward has been taken with this upcoming movie, as the next MonsterVerse movie has officially started filming!

Per an announcement made by Legendary Pictures, the follow-up to Godzilla vs. Kong is now underway in Queensland, Australia. Mixing a cast of familiar and fresh faces, this new adventure is still somewhat of a mystery. Though we do have some more clues as to what exactly is going on, as the press release announcing the start of production did include the following synopsis:

QuoteThis latest entry follows up the explosive showdown of Godzilla vs. Kong with an all-new cinematic adventure, pitting the almighty Kong and the fearsome Godzilla against a colossal undiscovered threat hidden within our world, challenging their very existence – and our own. The epic new film will delve further into the histories of these Titans, their origins and the mysteries of Skull Island and beyond, while uncovering the mythic battle that helped forge these extraordinary beings and tied them to humankind forever.


Even more exciting than the plot for this new MonsterVerse installment is the roster of new and returning actors that will branch out this expansion of the Godzilla and Kong mythos.


The untitled Godvilla vs. Kong sequel is set to release in theaters on March 15, 2024. In the meantime, you can revisit the MonsterVerse in its entirety if you're an HBO Max subscriber; as several of those films are currently streaming on that particular platform.

I had no idea about that, but since the name reminded me of Megalodon, I decided to google it. The most striking thing was a bunch of Polynesian-looking dancers performing a ceremony around a chrome-colored moai and a giant cockroach man, apparently the guardian of said civilization. Sounds more surreal than campy in written form. ;D

In Godzilla King of the Monsters (2019), it was hinted at that King Ghdiorah was of alien origin, coming from somewhere from the stars. Its quite possible that the evil ailen creators of Ghdiorah has decided to mount an alien invasion themselves.

Personally, I would like to see a Monsterverse version of "Destroyah". Some have written off Destroyah as an "Alien" rip-off since he no doubt was influenced by Alien with the inner jaw design. But I also thought the "satanic crab" design that goes though several evolutions in Godzilla vs Destroyah (1995) was pretty cool and a worthy and fearsome opponent for Godzilla.

So we get both a godzilla tv series and a king kong tv series. Life is kinda good.
I'm not loving the monsterverse much but I still get excited(ish). The Kong tv show is supposedly a prequel and after math of the original 1933 (or 2005) that does get me very excited.
As long as Skull Island looks like that and not like the monsterverse version I'm game.

Hey godzilla fans I was wondering apart from the original one and shin in what other films is Godzilla depicted as a scary monster? I've seen the Heisei and later era films but its been so long ,I barely remember them.

I'd love to see a real horror godzilla. Forget about the story go full on atmosphere, dread destruction and decay lol. I want to see people running away screaming, buildings collapsing on them, getting crushed under his feet. Nightmarish shots, suspense, a clear depiction of scale, a feeling of hopelessness, total apocalypse etc

Dreaming is allowed...

While there's no real topping the original and Shin in these terms, Giant Monsters All Out Attack does a pretty good job of making Godzilla a pretty scary antagonist again. It doesn't really have the dreaded and hopeless atmosphere so much, but it checks some of those other boxes. And Godzilla is a genuinely pretty scary destructive force in it. It's also just one of the best films in the entire series imo!

First one I thought of, as well. GMK is awesome.

Also, look for Return of Godzilla, which is a direct sequel to the original, and Big G is very much an antagonist. It's also the start of the Heisei era, where he's less of a hero than the original series, and more of a force of nature.

Definitely agree with the aforementioned GMK and The Return of Godzilla/G'84/'85 as far as more horror/evil Godzilla-themed entries go.

G'84 has a great, creepy dark atmosphere to it. I love the bit where Godzilla is "quietly" walking through Tokyo with barely any music to accompany the scene. Really does a great job of making a giant monster feel almost like a horror movie villain.

And GMK is probably the most outright malevolent Godzilla has ever been in any movie. He wrecks everything in that one. And it's also really freaking good, so it's a high recommendation just on that basis alone.

I agree, he's pretty damn evil and downright scary in GMK. Even his design is pretty scary (those blank white eyes especially).

Spoiler
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't it also implied, or outright said, that Godzilla is possessed by the angry spirits of the Japanese victims of WWII, in GMK? That adds a whole other layer of horror/evil to the equation.

Toho's released a teaser for this year's Godzilla short film, "Godzilla vs Gigan Rex"!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eb5pqY_jP9E
I actually really like this redesign! It stays faithful to his classic Showa appearance while also being an obviously sleeker, modern update. And the Godzilla design looks similar to the recent ride version too, which is cool.

Last year's Hedorah short was great. I just hope Toho doesn't decide to scrub this one entirely from the face of the internet again like they did there.

Godzilla's design looks really nice too, like an amalgamation of all the classic designs in one.

Quote... a CG short to be released on November 3 as part of Toho's Godzilla Day celebrations. It's a sequel to G vs. G, one of the winners of GEMSTONE's 2019 Godzilla Contest (Godziban was another).

Here's G vs. G if you missed it -

Nobody asked for it, but here are my Top 15 recommended Godzilla movies (Top 10s are too hard). I wanted to represent each era/decade and give a decent overview of the series as a whole (I ended up having to exclude the Hollywood and animated films, though).

Spoiler
Godzilla (1954)
King Kong vs. Godzilla (1962)
Mothra vs. Godzilla (1964)
Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Monster (1964)
Invasion of Astro-Monster (1965)
Godzilla vs. Hedorah (1971)
Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla (1974)
Terror of Mechagodzilla (1975)
The Return of Godzilla (1984)
Godzilla vs. Biollante (1989)
Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah (1991)
Godzilla 2000: Millennium (1999)
Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack (2001)
Godzilla Final Wars (2004)*
Shin Godzilla (2016)

* I only really included this one for variety's sake (it's also the big 50th anniversary movie), so your mileage may vary considerably.

What a possible set could look like -  (https://www.tohokingdom.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1901877#p1901877)

Quote-Rodan - Japanese version only
-The Mysterians - Japanese version only (I guess MAYBE the terrible Bang! Zoom dub could be included...but we're probably better off without it)
-Varan the Unbelievable - Japanese version only (maybe the reconstructed TV cut as a bonus feature, but unlikely)
-The H-Man - Both Toho and Columbia versions, thanks to Sony
-Battle in Outer Space - Ditto The H-Man
-The Human Vapor - Japanese version and possibly Brenco cut, thanks to MGM, though the quality will be poor.
-Mothra - Ditto H-Man/BIOS
-Gorath - Ditto Human Vapor
-Atragon - Japanese version and International dub
-Matango - Japanese version and International dub
-Dogora - Japanese version and International dub
-Frankenstein vs Barugon - Japanese version only (Toho was at one point fond enough of the AIP to release a lousy recon as a bonus feature, but I feel those days are numbered)
-The War of the Gargantuas - Japanese version and International dub (likewise with FCTW)
-King Kong Escapes - Both versions thanks to Universal
-Latitude Zero - International version and possibly Japanese version
-Space Amoeba - Japanese version and International dub

That had me a bit cautious too, ngl.
As much as I love The Thing, I completely skipped out on those showings cause of how bad I heard the presentation was.

But honestly I just want to see Godzilla on the big screen for the day, no matter the quality. I remember liking this one, and I'm a big fan of Kiryu. Also the fact that it's the first (and likely only) time being shown in theatres in the U.S. makes it kinda worth it on it's own, to me at least.

I wish I skipped out on The Thing. I was there for the first day of that one and... oof.  :'( I saw The Thing at another theater back in early 2020 (a few weeks before the world shut down) and it was a much, much better presentation than this year's re-release.

I very, very much hope that they learned something and Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla goes well tonight.

Quote[10/2/22] Toho announces that the next live action Japanese Godzilla film will be directed by Takashi Yamazaki and released to Japanese theaters on November 3, 2023.

QuoteThe truth about the mysterious Blockbuster Monster Movie, which filmed earlier this year, can finally be told: it's the next Toho Godzilla film! Takashi Yamazaki, who's been preparing for this moment since Always: Sunset on Third Street 2, is directing. About the only thing we know about the story is that it's set between 1945 and 1947. That's highly unusual territory for a Godzilla movie; unless this is some crazy alternate history, he'll be attacking Japan during the Allied occupation, when it had no military of its own.

It is not because it are giant monsters that it automatically needs to be kid friendly imo
The style difference between Gojira and the 70s godzilla films is gigantic!

In the end most franchises become vehicles for kids because that is where the money is earned.

Honestly if Godzilla should appeal to anyone it should be kids. That doesn't mean you talk down to them or exclude adults (even the 1969-1975 films are earnest and played straight) but an edgy grimdark version with a hard R-rating would be beside the point. Even Shin doesn't get that bad.
Title: Re: The GODZILLA thread
Post by: nanison on Nov 17, 2022, 01:33:59 PM
Every giant monster or dinosaur movie from the 1950s onwards has been ailed at kids/young teenagers. This is why they never get bloody, gory or overtly scary.
Imo it would be refreshing to see either an existing or a new IP throws the core audience overboard and make something with a different for the genre.

Even Shin doesn't get that bad.

Of course, its important to remember the very first Godzilla movie in 1954 was a very serious and grim movie, it certainly wasn't targeted to kids with its somber depiction of massive destruction and casualties, not to mention the tragic sacrifice of one its main character to stop Godzilla's rampage. Its only later in the subsequent sequels in the Showa era (60's to 70s) that it became kid-friendly, when the producers made a more concerted effort to focus on kids as their target audience.

Speaking of Showa era Godzilla films, some of them became way too...trippy. I mean, 1971's "Godzilla vs. Hedorah" has this weird psychedelic vib that makes you wonder if the director was on acid when he directed the movie.

The Heisei era (1985 to 1995) of Godzilla movies struck the right balance I think, when Godzilla was returned to its original role as a destructive "force of nature", yet the films wasn't so dark as to prevent  kids from seeing and enjoying it. That way, adults don't have to be embarrassed by watching a "silly man in rubber suit" movie thanks to the more mature take on Godzilla, yet at the same time, he or she can bring their kids along to enjoy the film as well.

Quote from: nanison on Nov 17, 2022, 01:33:59 PMEvery giant monster or dinosaur movie from the 1950s onwards has been ailed at kids/young teenagers.

Well, there was 2008's "Cloverfield". The found footage movie featuring a giant monster. It isn't excessively gory or bloody...but it is PG-13, so it would exclude the younger kiddies.
Title: Re: The GODZILLA thread

To be honest, I think the Heisei era was the best. Though GMK comes close.

I agree. While I haven't seen every Godzilla film, Heisei tends to be my favorite in terms of quality.
GMK is easily in my top 5 (maybe even top 3) favorites though.
Title: Re: The GODZILLA thread
Post by: KiramidHead on Dec 12, 2022, 11:35:51 PM
Heisei is mixed for me. 84, Biollante (parts of it, at least), Mechagodzilla, and Destroyah all hold up pretty well. King Ghidorah is fun but stupid as f**k, Mothra is meh, and Space Godzilla is f**king awful. But it has a better track record for me than the Millenium era, at least.

There are also some comments going around about it "sharing continuity" with Shin Godzilla, though that appears to be a mistranslation as far as I can tell, simply referring to the two as being of the same "Reiwa Era."

EDIT: Here's the Forbes article with all the information, it went live a little earlier than it was supposed to:

Since we have key art with the title, I'm guessing that is the official proper translation there.

Well that looks awesome. Strange that the design looks a little more like Legendary Godzilla than I was expecting.

Quote from: KiramidHead on Jul 11, 2023, 06:35:28 PMMinus One? Is that something that isn't translating well? Because it sounds kind of dumb.  :laugh:
According to the synopsis, it's because Godzilla's appearance after the war took Japan backwards, hence minus. It's also set before 1954, when the original Godzilla was released, hence 'Minus One'.

Watched the teaser a few times, I really dig what I'm seeing. Doing a period piece story like this just feels so right. Harkens back to the original film with the train, too. Also I really cannot wrap my head around the idea of this being connected to Shin Godzilla, based on what we're seeing here. I'm really gonna have to chalk that up to being a mistranslation for now.

All in on the Godzilla Minus One hype train now, can't wait for this. Very glad it's getting a theatrical release in the US.

I'm not a huge godzilla fan either which is perhaps the reason why I love the 98 version. It's a fun movie which would have been a cult classic if it had another title, I suppose.

Supposedly a possible mistranslation, since they're connected by being in the Reiwa era.

Definitely looks like Yamazaki's been really honing in on one particular design philosophy, from his Godzilla cameo in Always: Sunset on Third Street 2, through to his theme park stuff, and now really refined here into what we're seeing of the big guy in Minus One. Neat. I really love this look.

This is fan-made, but it is still very well done. I love that it  utilizes the unused Gryphon from the cancelled Stan Winston and Jan De Bont Godzilla film and brings in both '98 Zilla and the Monsterverse Godzilla. It also makes good use of using a found-footage style.

Yes, we are finally getting news on the series!
Title: Re: The GODZILLA thread
Post by: Nightmare Asylum on Aug 17, 2023, 02:11:56 PM
Got a synopsis too:

QuoteFollowing the thunderous battle between Godzilla and the Titans that leveled San Francisco and the shocking revelation that monsters are real, "Monarch: Legacy of Monsters" tracks two siblings following in their father's footsteps to uncover their family's connection to the secretive organization known as Monarch. Clues lead them into the world of monsters and ultimately down the rabbit hole to Army officer Lee Shaw (played by Kurt Russell and Wyatt Russell), taking place in the 1950s and half a century later where Monarch is threatened by what Shaw knows. The dramatic saga – spanning three generations – reveals buried secrets and the ways that epic, earth-shattering events can reverberate through our lives.

So this confirms that Kurt Russell and his son are indeed playing the same person (awesome casting!), and that the "present" timeline of the show is actually set in the aftermath of Gareth Edwards' film, pre-King of the Monsters/Godzilla vs Kong. It does mention three generations, though... we have the 50s and we have the aftermath of 2014, but I wonder what that third one is?

Also, given that they aren't including "Godzilla" in the title, I have to imagine that while he is obviously A monster in this, he likely isn't THE main monster in it.


The Japanese Godzilla account confirms that this will be released this Fall.

In a hypothetical Shin followup that is in keeping with that one's tone/style, I'd absolutely love to see new takes on Hedorah and/or Biollante that really delve into the sort of eco-horror angle that comes with each of them.

That being said, after Shin Ultraman and Shin Kamen Rider, I'd also be very down to see Anno and company take a shot at the campier 60s/70s Showa iteration of Godzilla and his roster of friends and foes as well.

I think so. Although, there could also be a strong possibility that this series also gives some more insight into the ancient past with the Hollow Earth civilizations. It is clear that this is not only filling in the gaps of the timeline in the Monsterverse between Skull Island in the 70's to Godzilla 2014, but it will more than likely build anticipation for Godzilla X Kong as well. It may become established as to what the exact nature of some of these ancient civilizations were like and provide some idea as to how the Hollow Earth works. Either way I am extremely interested as to what this series will entail!

(https://i0.wp.com/bloody-disgusting.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/minus11.jpg?w=1270&ssl=1)

Back in 1998, I remember how much I was looking forward to Roland Emmerich's modern CGI update of the classic black & white Godzilla movie.... 

The trailers nicely built up my anticipation for it, and although there were some fun, entertaining moments here and there, it had a very different tone and setting from the original source material.  And while it's creature redesign was fine for a big lizard monster causing chaos in New York, it came across as a very different beast to the original heavier-set, atomic-breathed creation unleashed on Japan - merely a large 'Zilla'-like creature as opposed to the *actual* 'Godzilla' I felt, and I was somewhat disappointed at the time.

Eventually, we got a more familiar-looking version of the big G in Gareth Edwards' 2014 re-imagining, and I found it a much more satisfying rendition.  It's 'monster-verse' sequels have been a diverting enough watch too overall, and I'm interested to see what the upcoming tv show will bring.

However....when I think of 'Godzilla' I think of Japan, and with Godzilla Minus One it looks like I'm *finally* getting the kind of updated Godzilla movie I hoped the 1998 version would be in the first place!  This is one of my most anticipated movies since a while - one which brings back the tone and setting closer to Ishiro Honda's movie, where the chunky behemoth is a force of nature unleashed on the poor citizens of Japan, set in that particular location once again and with the distinctive Japanese language - which I'll gladly read in glorious subtitles! ;D

My question

Does godzilla 1998 deserve its universal hate with ultra low ratings because it doesn't feel like a real godzilla film?

I ask because I find the film a blast, a spectacle with tons of special effects that hold up to this day which is a tremendous achievement.

If it was released as a remake of "the beast from 20 000 fathoms" it would surely have gotten much more praise because it is by no means a badly made film.
It is not a godzilla film though, I agree.

Yes. The combination of spite from the people making it and the wildly divergent design/properties of the creature make it bad at what it's supposed to do (ie; be a godzilla movie).

This short harkens back very much to the Showa era of Godzilla films. Its interesting how Toho is now taking what most fans consider the sillier and less well regarded kaijus like Megalon and Jet Jaguar (a ripoff of Ultrman in a way), and refashion them for the modern audience.

Can't wait to watch it...

Getting emotional for the human characters...thats interesting. Godzilla films have a reputation of weak cardboard human characters just standing around gawking at the giant kaijus. I always felt that reputation isn't entirely fair, the very first Godzilla film had Serizawa struggling with the dilemma of whether to use his oxygen destroyer to kill Godzilla. But it is true most other Godzilla movies (including the monsterverse films) had relatively thin human characters.

So if you are correct, it is perfectly possible to have a Godzilla movie that have the big G and strong human characters the audience can care for.

I'd say if this were a Hollywood production, we'd hear about awards possibilities for the lead actor and maybe production design. This is a top tier, cinematic production. The lifelong Godzilla fan in me is still baffled we have a movie of this high of quality. Shin Godzilla was good, but this is on another level.

Wow, that is high praise indeed. I wonder if it has any chance to get nominated for Oscar best foreign film...if it is as good as you say, certainly it deserves to be nominated at least. Of course, there are many worthy films that the Academy has overlooked...hope Minus One really is on the level that the Academy will pay attention to.

Absolutely loved the first couple episodes of Monarch; this is leaps and bounds above most other media tie-in TV shows. Doing the exact kind of genre conspiracy bullshit (a la The X-Files) that I just totally eat up, and applying it to a franchise/sub-genre that I'm already incredibly attached to.

For the record, I enjoyed all of the Legendary MonsterVerse films on first viewing, although I feel like Skull Island is the only one that really holds up on repeat watches. Which IMO says something about the quality and performances since I have no real investment in Kong but have always been a Big G fan.

Watched the first episode for free on appletv
I guess I'm going for a subscription once the entire season is up.

It seems a bit more grounded and "realistic" than the movies post 2014 Godzilla which I like. It is slower, more spread out action and so far the characters are engaging enough to keep my attention. We also saw some kills which were quite big in terms of impact, thumbs up for that.

That shot from the side of the giant spider walking towards Goodman on the cliff felt like a throwback to 50s monster movies I liked that too.

Just revisited Shin Godzilla over the weekend, and will also be revisiting the original '54 film, The Return of Godzilla, and if time permits, GMK as well before then as well. This will actually be my first time seeing Return in its original Japanese version – I grew up with the American Godzilla 1985 version on VHS and only just recently finally got my hands on the Blu-ray of the original Japanese release.

I hit up the original a few nights ago, and was honestly floored with fresh eyes as to just how good it is. Did Shin too, and as much as I love it, the crystal clear black and white of the OG is magnitudes above, well, most movies. It just drips ambience and oozes quality.

100% agree about the original. It's easy to think of the Godzilla films as just goofy monster movies with dudes in rubber suits (which most of them kind of are tbf) but the original still stands as a pillar of masterclass filmmaking of it's time. It's amazing how potent and devastating it is even today.

I'm with you on the black and white as well. I'm curious to see if that black and white cut of Shin (https://www.godzilla-movies.com/news/shin-godzilla-orthochromatic-gets-limited-japanese-theatrical-release) that's apparently in the works will change or enhance the experience

So far, I think only Skull Island and the first Godzilla are required viewing.  The show jumps around to a bunch of different eras, but none later than a year or so after Edwards' movie.

No, it's set after the Edwards one but before the rest. Skull Island is the only other one with any real relevance, and I don't think you absolutely need to see it to get the show (but you should anyway, because it's fun).

But I'd also say to watch the other two films too. This series is going to lead into the events of next years Godzilla x Kong. Wont say what or hint at much, but I recommend catching up with all 4 films.

If I had to guess...

Spoiler
The weaponry installed in Japan is going to be part of that setup. I can't imagine it being used in the show itself, since we know Godzilla doesn't surface on the mainland at all between 2014 and 2019, but I can totally see it getting some play later on in the timeline in GxK.

It also helps that that stuff feels VERY Evangelion, and Wingard already littered GvK with a ton of surface-level Eva references.

Minus One is amazing, easily in the top five Godzilla movies if not the very best. The action is great, but the story and characters are incredibly emotionally involving. My only complaints are minor: the exposition line about the natives calling it Godzilla is clunky (and the natives are seemingly non-existent in terms of the movie), and the Mothra theme playing a little during the finale was  bit odd.
Title: Re: The GODZILLA thread
Post by: reecebomb on Dec 01, 2023, 11:11:41 PM
I just came back from the cinema, and regrettably, it was underwhelming considering all the hype. Should have went in blind. I mean there was a lot to like. Yet at the same time, a lot of it didn't work as intended. Maybe 3 out of 5, certainly not bad overall but at times I was wondering if I was watching the same film as everyone else.

The main issue right off the bat was that the premise was absolutely great and fitting for Godzilla and I applaud the attempt of making more one character-centered story. But ultimately the drama was mediocre, cliched, and weirdly paced. And Godzilla was barely in it, wouldn't have been an issue at all if the story around the monster was written and directed better and the attack scenes were more awe-inducing. I know that often less is more, but felt like there was a huge chunk of Godzilla destruction missing. By the end I was rooting for Godzilla, thinking this surely can't be over yet.
Spoiler
There is basically only one on-land attack scene and that is over as soon as it started, much of it has been shown in trailers
[close]

On the plus side, the likable supporting cast kept it afloat. The creature design is great, the CGI is often superb (especially considering the budget), and parts of the action are indeed effective. The sound is phenomenal, and music inspiring.

Recent Shin Godzilla is certainly more successful in achieving its intentions and thus overall a better film. Still, I'm glad that Minus One seems to be doing well. Japan needs to continue the tradition of making Gojira movies.

I've rewatched Gareth Edwards'Godzilla yesterday and I still love it big time. I have absolutely zero problems with the movie. I love the way it is shot, it is chockfull of epic shots, the sound design is fantastic, there is suspense, the build up to the end fight is perfect and unlike many I love the human angle because it manages to make humanity feel tiny, often the people in this movie look no bigger than ants. The monsters also move like I expect them to move and imo there was absolutely no shortage of screen time for the monsters.

The followups are no different than goofy marvel films. Luckily Monarch feels like the first movie (after 1 episode).

If Minus One has the same approach them I'm all ready for it.

You haven't seen it and you already know? You got some telepathic abiity of something? Hehehe.  :laugh:

Personally, I am hyped to see this. There is nothing wrong with the showa approach if it works. Toho by contrast prefers to stick with the grim and serious side of Godzilla as seen in -1 and that's perfectly fine as well. I think thats good, as audience we get the best of both worlds, we get a choice of both.

I think its a little premature for folks to develop kaiju faitgue. The MCU has 30+ movies, the Legendary Monsterverse has just 5 movies (counting this one). Rather big difference in scale and scope between the two franchises, don't you think? There is still a lot of room to grow for the monsterverse, whereas the MCU has already hit its peak.

I mean after seeing the trailer, it's not hard to imagine how the movie will pan out, considering the previous 2. Lifeless 2hr long video game cutscene is nowhere near as fun as proper Showa madness. Monserverse is a tonally inconsistent mess and will probably be rebooted after this one.

Minus One is more serious in tone but at the same time it's full of cheese. Yet Godzilla himself, even if 3d animated has some proper heft and you can see that they at least tried to keep some of that man is suit effect.

I'm not a big fan of the monsterverse but all I know is that my 8 year old nephew was completly mind blown by GvK. He even cried when Kong was hurt and jumped out of his seat when he came back. Reminded me of how much I used to love the old films when I was his age.

I only watched GvK recently and I thought it was pretty fun if forgetable. Much better than KotM I thought.

Minus One looks better then all of the western stuff to me though, and I really dug Shin.

I don't completely love the monsterverse films, but I quite like this balance of getting serious, dramatically impactful Godzilla films like Shin and Minus One from Japan, and goofy Showa style monster beat-em-ups in the west.

I had a lot of fun with GvK, and GxK looks like it leans even more into what made that film fun.

Minus One feels like the delicious steak dinner, and GxK is some candy for dessert.

Quote from: Cougerboy on Dec 04, 2023, 12:56:27 AMYou haven't seen it and you already know? You got some telepathic abiity of something? Hehehe.  :laugh:

Personally, I am hyped to see this. There is nothing wrong with the showa approach if it works. Toho by contrast prefers to stick with the grim and serious side of Godzilla as seen in -1 and that's perfectly fine as well. I think thats good, as audience we get the best of both worlds, we get a choice of both.


I mean after seeing the trailer, it's not hard to imagine how the movie will pan out, considering the previous 2. Lifeless 2hr long video game cutscene is nowhere near as fun as proper Showa madness. Monserverse is a tonally inconsistent mess and will probably be rebooted after this one.

Minus One is more serious in tone but at the same time it's full of cheese. Yet Godzilla himself, even if 3d animated has some proper heft and you can see that they at least tried to keep some of that man is suit effect.

I just find it remarkable how some have already decided what the movie will be like based on a trailer. Its fine if you are not a fan of the monsterverse, you are entitled to your opinion. But that bias seem to have clouded your judgement of this upcoming film. As they say, "never judge a book by its cover".

Quote from: reecebomb on Dec 04, 2023, 12:43:40 PMAh, to be 8 year old again, I remember really loving Son of Godzilla back then.
Maybe kids today love these but these new Godzilla films are no longer unique, they are variation of the same green screen fast food we've been fed for years.

Look, like I said, its fine if you dislike monsterverse films. They are not perfect and can be criticized for its flaws.

But you seem to have an issue with people liking monsterverse films here. I'm sorry to break it to you, but many Godzilla fans do indeed enjoy the monsterverse films, flaws and all. They can like both the sillier aspects of Godzilla as well as its more serious side.

Thats the thing about the big G and its appeal. There isn't a one size fits all approach to him. He can be a deadly serious terror that serves as the classic allegory for the danger of nuclear power or commentary for perceived government or social failures.

He can also be a goofier kid friendly monster that defends the Earth against other kaijus. That is also part of Godzilla's legacy.

You need to accept that you do not have a monopoly on interpretation of what is  "proper" Godzilla.

Can't argue with that, just sharing my opinion.

Comparing the last two films from both countries, Japan manages still do outdo USA with literally ten times smaller budget. Hollywood should certainly be capable of creating a great Godzilla film but I don't think they are really trying very hard at the moment and still haven't manage to do the character proper justice (2014 was the closest, but no cigar.) Give the character to someone like Matt Reeves, I think Cloverfield is still the best modern Kaiju film.

I do like whacky charm of Showa era films but again if the classic characters are put in modern Western cgi soup, the charm is lost and it's another soulless modern blockbuster.

The monsterverse films are fine, certainly they aren't perfect and got issues. But they seem to understand and found their audience, given the decent returns of GvK in the depth of the pandemic.

Toho offers the alternative of the more traditional scary Godzilla, which is fantastic. We get the best of both worlds, the box office is big enough for different approaches to Godzilla. And that is awesome as a Godzilla fan.

Yep, that's how I feel here. One of the chief primary complaints with the MCU (and a very valid one, IMO) is just how samey it all is. The good stuff, the bad stuff, the middle of the road stuff, pretty much all of it feels like a piece cut from the same pie.

Meanwhile, Godzilla is a franchise that is offering some wildly different takes, different tones, different voices, etc. right now. Pick your flavor, or take it all! There's a little bit for everyone going around under this umbrella in the past decade or so (so much so that even within its splintered subfranchises, you're going to find conflicting installments with wildly different creative intent).

I found a lot of stuff between 1963 and 1975 dull and painfully difficult to sit through so I feel like Legendary is sort of par for the course within the franchise.

It's big loud nonsense with terrible characters but the occasional memorable action scene.

That's the strength of Godzilla as a character, he can be put in different genres and portrayed in many different ways, serious, tragic, funny or silly, and it will all work.

Well...ok, all that said, Godzilla still has to be recognizable as a character with certain "Godzilla attributes", if you move away too far from that, then that character ceases to be "Godzilla" in the true sense. That was the problem with the 1998 Godzilla. As a generic monster movie, the 1998 movie was actually ok. Watchable, but not great. The real issue was that it wasn't a Godzilla movie. The character just wasn't Godzilla. But beyond that particular issue, Godzilla is actually quite flexible as a character.

Yeah, I get what you mean. But plenty of people, including Godzilla fans, love that. To be fair, Legendary monsterverse also incorporated elements from the Heisei era of the 80's to 90's as well, albeit not as prominent in influence as the Showa era.

Personally, if Legendary decides to feature Jet Jaguar in the Monsterverse, then that will be a stretch too far...even for me. But we'll worry about that only if Legendary ever decides to go down that silliest Showa era stuff.

It was actually the very last of the Godzilla movies I hadn't seen (it eluded me as a kid, outside of catching the occasional stray isolated scene on TV occasionally). Didn't catch it in full until the Showa Criterion box set came out. Completely clicked with me when I did see it, though.

So the internet is all talking about how Minus One is breaking box office records for a live action Japanese film...for a 15 million budget, with vfx and story that put Hollywood movies with ten times the budget to shame. But director Takashi Yamazaki says it is less than that:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Vh8626gLG8
Of course, vfx staff is paid a lot less in Japan. Pay for actors is also a lot less in Japan. There is generally less protection and benefits for crew in the Japanese film industry, compared to the union protection offered in Hollywood. They don't get paid for overtime. They often are forced to do 24 hours shifts to make the deadline for the release of a film. Still, for Minus One to have vfx that puts MCU movies to shame does raise a question, where does all the money go for Hollywood vfx studios?

Rewatched the first and watched the second. It feels like Urobuchi had a script or concept lying around and Toho said "We'll make this if you do something Godzilla with it." The second was a bit better but they really don't do much with any of the ideas on display.

Fair enough. A lot of Godzilla might not be for you. I'd still recommend the original, for obvious reasons, as well as Shin Godzilla, since it's a good satire on Japanese bureaucracy and red tape. Return of Godzilla and GMK are also favourites of mine.

Its always best to keep an open mind. For example, I dragged my wife to see minus one, she had zero interest in Godzilla and no way was she going to watch it without my convincing, and she was shocked and stunned at how good the movie was.

Give another Godzilla movie a go, and you might be surprised.

It definitely isn't for everyone, for sure, but I personally adored it. Would go so far as to say it's one of my favorite Godzilla entries, full stop.

To say that it washed the taste of the anime trilogy out of my mouth would be an understatement, haha.

I liked the first episode back when I watched it, i just lost track. And Netflix also had that Gamera anime I need to get to.

The Gamera one is a bit of an odd experience – the animation for the monster stuff looks good, the animation for the non-monster stuff very much does not. I wasn't expecting a ton from it, and it is pretty standard fare, but I did end up liking it more than I expected to (pretty decent human cast of characters too, despite how rough the animation is on them).

Not the big grand return I was expecting from Gamera, but not a bad experience by any means. Many steps above Godzilla's anime trilogy, but not nearly as good as Singular Point.

I've always wanted to see a Godzilla vs Gamera movie, but I won't be holding my breath for one anytime soon.  Gamera isn't like Kong, where Legendary could negotiate the rights for, Gamera belongs to Kadokawa Daiei Studio, which has Gamera as their exclusive IP. So Toho vs Kadokawa Daiei; the rival studios could not agree who will come out on top in that monster battle. And then the complicated negotiation over rights to revenue from the merchandise from the film will drag on between the studios. Not to mention whoever wins, Godzilla or Gamera, that will bound to upset either fan contingent.

Daiei approached Toho with a deal for a Gamera vs Godzilla movie a while back, but Toho shot them down. Of course, Toho seems to be more willing to experiment these days, so who knows.

No offense to Gamera fans but the general public has no clue what Gamera is while Godzilla is known by most. I understand why ToHo wouldn't want Godzilla to lose to him and why should he. I like Gamera but I don't need a Godzilla vs Gamera movie or cross over.  Plus Godzilla aka ToHo doesn't need Daiei aka Gamera like Gamera needs Godzilla.

You would think you were going to something like a premiere. Kids with action figures, adults with the tshirts etc.  The coolest thing about seeing Minus One was the Japanese fellow I take Muay Thai with ordering his ticket by saying "Gojira" lol.

Kong: Skull Island was packed just the same on release. As well as both Pacific Rims.  The only other movies there that did that were The Force Awakens and Endgame.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cUp8o7fEhPM

Some folks are already complaining about how Hollywood is intentionally ignoring Godzilla Minus One given the fact it wasn't nominated for more categories like best sound, editing, director, even best picture, etc. I mean sure, the movie certain deserves to be nominated in those categories. Some are even saying Hollywood resented the success of Godzilla at the box office and making all their bloated blockbusters look bad. And in revenge, they snubbed Godzilla.

But personally, I am not the type that likes to indulge in conspiracy theories. I am just happy Godzilla was nominated for any Oscar category at all. I mean the kaiju genre isn't exactly known as a "prestige" genre in the West. Maybe as popular popcorn flicks to the general audience, but with a few exceptions, its not the the kind of film that critics think of as "Oscar-caliber". So I am simply happy Godzilla got nominated. Rather than seeing this as Hollywood supposedly "ignoring" the film, I am hoping instead this is the start of a trend to re-evaluate Godzilla in popular culture, as something more, as you said yourself, than just a goofy guy in a rubber suit stomping on miniature cities.

I mean let's face it, the above description is what most people think of when they think of Godzilla at all. If this Oscar nod can win over more people to this genre and maybe even create new fans, then I am happy. And the Godzilla Minus One production crew seem thrilled to get a nomination, so I want to congratulate them.
Title: Re: The GODZILLA thread
Post by: Mike’s Monsters on Jan 24, 2024, 06:43:02 PM
Very well said CougarBoy!

The folks upset about some of that fail to realize that the film needs to be submitted for some categories, and it turns out TOHO and Japan did not do that. The VFX came as an underdog nomination after all the reports on budget came out. Best international picture was ignored because Japan refused to submit for the nomination.

It's not so black and white like so many online are saying. To me, it's just cool to see an Oscar nomination attached to this franchise now.

I see Godzilla Minus One, thanks to the black and white version, has surpassed "Parasite" to become the no.3 all-time foreign film at the US box office, behind only "Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon" (US$128 million) and "Life is Beautiful" (US$57.6 million). I doubt it will catch up to Crouching Tiger, but there is a chance of it catching up to Life is Beautiful. Remarkable achievement I must say. For a film with minimal marketing, the box office success relied almost entirely on word of mouth.

Indiewire has an article on how Takashi Yamazaki became the first director to be nominated for an Oscar VFX since Stanley Kubrick (Kubrick btw did win an Oscar VFX for 2001: A Space Odyssey):

I show off the crew shirt I own from the movie.

I also met Godzilla: Minus One director Takashi Yamazaki over the weekend after a Q&A following the screening of the film. I was able to take a polaroid of him, which he also signed that I'll be framing up and hanging on my wall soon. You can watch the Q&A on my channel as well, but note that it's recorded on an iPhone so the audio isn't the best.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mSBrrcBGV2g
Someone in the crowd had seen the movie 31 times in theaters, with only one other person known beating her out at 35 viewings in Japan. She is known as the "Wife of Godzilla". Yamazaki named the woman in the audience with her 31 viewings the "Daughter of Godzilla". What an honor.

It was wild counting up to that number lol.


So there's likely a GxK leak out there. Full clips of the movie are being uploaded to YouTube with copyright watermarks and official logos. Don't support any of the leaked stuff if you come across it. It totally sucks for the people who made the movie to have it blown like this less than a month before the premiere.

Hehe, with so many primates, GxK will have to be careful I think to avoid the movie turning into a giant kaiju version of the "Planet of the Apes".

Then again I guess that wouldn't really be a problem. These giant ape kaijus aren't the human-level intelligent apes in the "Planet" franchise.

I'm still not sure which format I'll be watching this in.  ScreenX is cool, but my head will be all over the place trying to watch all of the action sequences.  4DX 3D is fun, but visual fatigue.  Looks like IMAX it is.  Standard is never an option.  :P

It is the bones of a really, really large Titan that dwarfs Kong and Suko in size. Just look at this shot! This has to be a hint at some extremely large ancient Titans that we have not seen yet!

Chris Nolan gives high praise to Godzilla Minus One:

https://www.cbr.com/christopher-nolan-praises-godzilla-minus-one/ (https://www.cbr.com/christopher-nolan-praises-godzilla-minus-one/)

"I watched Godzilla Minus One and I thought it was a tremendous film. I though it was so exciting, I mean obviously it was beautifully made, the mechanics of it was so involving, it was so exciting. I felt it had a lot of the spirit of your earlier film, The Eternal Zero. It had a depth around the issues surrounding the main story, even though the main story is Godzilla, and he is an entertainment and an exciting one. There was wonderful depth to the characters and a wonderful sense of history history that I really appreciated.

Hmmm...still no dropping of the review embargo despite the pending release of GodzillaxKong? Usually if review embargoes are only dropped right before the release of a movie, that's a bad sign that the movie won't be good. I hope this is not the case with GodzillaXKong. I mean yes, as a blockbuster type movie with a reasonably large following, it should be more resistant to bad reviews. Still, I will be lying if I said I am not worried any bad reviews will have impact on the box office or the future of the monsterverse...

I'd not worry too much. Versus /crossover films are never the greatest, but are fun. I apply different expectations to these type movies.

Of course it is not going to be a good movie  :laugh:  You need to lower expectations, I mean we've all seen the goofy best buds running together and even hopping each others back.

The last 2 were pretty bad already so it can only get worse from here.

Maybe it is just me but I want monster to be scary or at least intimidating, not cuddly like in the monster verse (bar the G. Edwards one, that was a fantastic film imo).

Shin Godzilla was my favorite. Lovecraftian Gojira is what we need:

No...GvsK actually has majority good reviews. A film can have a lighter tone and still be good. It all comes down to the story and execution.

I honestly kind of find the whiplash tones/styles and the "yes and"/anything goes mentality of the MonsterVerse pretty refreshing, as far as "Cinematic Universes" go right now, in light of how bogged down and impenetrable certain elements of the MCU have become over the last couple years.

Where would you guys place Monarch: Legacy of Monsters in the monsterverse in terms of goofyness?
I have not seen it yet (bar the first episode which was free) I had the feeling it was much more serious and comparable to 2014's Godzilla and not the 2 followups.
Title: Re: The GODZILLA thread
Post by: Nightmare Asylum on Mar 27, 2024, 07:37:35 PM
Monarch: Legacy of Monsters definitely skews closest to Gareth Edwards' Godzilla in tone overall for most of its run, though in the back half of the season it definitely starts leaning into concepts and a bit of the tone of the more recent entries of the series. Never quite as goofy as Wingard's entries, but more straddling the line like Kong: Skull Island and King of the Monsters often do.
Title: Re: The GODZILLA thread
Post by: Nightmare Asylum on Mar 29, 2024, 02:03:33 PM
Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire plays like a Jun Fukuda Kong movie that happens to guest star Godzilla (in roughly the capacity that Godzilla vs Megalon did :laugh:). If the clashing tones and wildly all over the place bits of lore/creature origins that feel at odds with one another all in the same movie (think, Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla having both aliens bringing their mech down from space AND an ancient dog/lion monster needing to be summoned via magic and song) is something that appeals to you, then GxK definitely hits that sweet spot. Now mind you, I say that endearingly. The movie's kind of a clunky mess and it's all over the place with really wonky pacing and a structure that doesn't quite work (I think Godzilla's awkward placement in the story is a big part of what contributes to that overall feeling), but it really does have the zany energy of a 60s/70s Fukuda Godzilla movie in a way that none of the other ones really did (KotM and GvK felt like they were more so trying to emulate the earlier Honda entries to me). Kong's the real main character of the movie here, more so than Godzilla or any of the humans, and pretty significant chunks of the film are spent with him just doing his thing. If this sounds like something that'll appeal to you and you already like the MonsterVerse, then despite the movie's clunkiness, you'll probably have a fun time here. If what I wrote sounds absolutely dire and makes your brain ooze out of your eyes just going over my paragraph, then steer clear 'cause the movie will absolutely make you feel that way as well. I'm not one to usually really throw around a "this one's for the fans" label with movies (usually when people are saying that, it's a way of trying to compensate for what's overall a bad movie in general - which very well might just be what I'm doing here, so guilty as charged!), but, this really does feel like it was made for a very specific type of Godzilla fan that's really into the Showa era but, dialing in even more specifically, the 60s/70s entries in particular. I happen to be very into those entries, and that affection carried over into GxK for me.

Also, I don't know if Skar King was mo-capped or more traditionally animated, but all the credit in the world to whoever was responsible for his posture and body language.

This is interesting. I have not seen the film but personally I find creature films where these techniques are used usually a let down because it humanizes the monster too much. I prefer a monster to not show human emotions and behavior. It was a big gripe I had with the planet of the apes movies. The apes could have been replaced by another group of humans as the apes just acted like humans anyway.

Take the terminator. In the first film Arnold behaves how we all imagine a robot to behave, he is scary and emotionless but in T2 they give him a bit of human emotions and it takes me out if it.

If you don't want humanized monsters, then stay far, far, FAR away from Godzilla x Kong.

But also, the whole deal with the Planet of the Apes movies (be it the old series or the current ongoing one) is that the apes are essentially human in all but name. They aren't "monsters" and were never intended to be.

Just saw it the other day. It's silly as I expected. Human characters were rather thin, again as I expected. Story-wise it was a bit on the simple side. But as soon as Godzilla and Kong emerges on the screen, you forget all those flaws in the film.

Not as good as GvsK, but still enjoyable to watch as a G fan. Parts of the film made me giddy.

It was the portals they set up to the Hollow Earth. It was shown in GvK with traveling to Hollow Earth, but Monarch elaborated on it with how they can get to and from easier. I was told ahead of the release from folks on production that the technology we saw in GxK was meant to be connected to what we saw in the finale of Monarch, with them landing on Skull Island after being stuck in the Axis Mundi. Thought it would have been clearer or more prominent in the film myself, but definitely wasn't. They were supposed to have much more control on where they'd land in HE and on the surface. Without the tech, the humans would just end up in random ass places. They need to follow a Titan to get exactly where they want to go.

Ahh, ok. That does track, I guess. I'm admittedly still a bit confused by the relationship between the Axis Mundi and the Hollow Earth proper, but, that's fine. There's quite a big gap in time between Monarch: Legacy of Monsters and Godzilla vs Kong (let along Godzilla x Kong), and until it is eventually made clearer, assuming that the Axis Mundi (and the time dilation that occurs while within it) are select pockets/bubbles between the surface world and the full-on Hollow Earth works well enough for me.

I have to say I think it's great the Big G is going so strong the last 10 years and hope it goes for another 10! I'm more then happy with the US version being more light hearted aka like the Showa era while the Japan versions stick to more serious/horror theme. Everyone gets something out of it and we get best of both worlds. Been a Big G fan for 32 years and happy to see the franchise doing so well.

I'm not going to lie, I enjoyed Godzilla X Kong for the most part, in moments it successfully tapped into my inner child, there are moments that I had fun with. BUT its not a good movie by any stretch. My full review is below.

Shrugs, you are entitled to your view of course, its just that its not share by most G-fans. The consensus is that while its a far from perfect film, its still enjoyable to watch for a G-fan and they had a good time watching it, that's all that really matters in the end.

Movie garbage of the highest order,  utter drivel.  I dont know who in charge of cameras or the filming but they totally fail in making these things look the size they are,  may aswell be 6 feet tall for all the sense of scale there is.  Any why oh why if Kong made to look like such a wimp all the time,  constantly getting his arse handed to him.

I can't say I'm a huge Monsterverse fan but my partner really enjoys them so went to see this. It was exactly what I expected. Silly fun, with some laughs and good spectacle fights. Definitely felt a lot of character for Kong in this and I really enjoyed that aspect. It delivered and I was entertained. I don't remember the lore of the rest of the franchise to really comment on any of how well it fits into the rest of it all, but just from a filthy casual POV, I had a good time with it.

Who would win?

Rose Godzilla or Shin Godzilla Final Form?

Rose Godzilla, like Shin Godzilla can easily diminishes his energy and force to sleep for a week, Godzilla in GvK can curve stop him, that was from the past this evolved (rose) Godzilla is 20x stronger. He wouldn't even leave a trace of shin

Don't think anyone here said it was the highest caliber film-making. That doesn't mean it wasn't enjoyable or a good movie though...

You sound upset. You can try ask the theater for a refund if you feel so bummed out about it...but I don't think most will share that opinion here...

I finally got around to seeing GxK this week. It's very silly but I enjoyed it. My wife and I left the theater kind of giddy, like a couple of kids high on way too much sugar. Now I had seen a rough cut of the movie last year on the Warner Bros. lot and noticed a few big changes in the final theatrical version.

Spoiler
There was a bit more emphasis at the very beginning on Monarch trying to assuage the fears of various governments regarding Godzilla. There's a lack of trust in Monarch's ability to keep the public safe due to the collateral damage from Godzilla's various battles. Rebecca Hall's character does mention that the big guy is protecting the world from rogue titans and preventing further destruction, which is a line kept in the final film.

The battle between Godzilla and Tiamat was added to the movie. Originally, he absorbed all of the radiation from the power plant in France and went immediately into the ocean. He was tracked via submarine way out into the ice where they discovered his husk floating in the depths. Godzilla had shed his entire skin, and then we see the evolved version of him rise up from the waters.

Mothra was never originally in the film. There was another Titan known as Fosfera that was introduced at the end. It was a white winged dragon with slightly insectoid features but it basically plays out exactly as it does in the final film. I much prefer Mothra if I'm being honest. I also noticed that every time Mothra is mentioned in the movie the dialogue is said offscreen. Clever editing done to substitute the creatures.

Overall, I had such a blast with this movie. I hope they continue with the Monsterverse going forward.

You're still missing my point. Something can be trash but lots of fun. That doesn't make it Good.

Godzilla leans his face near Mothra, looks like he's smiling, and she lets him know (love her chirps) that Kong is not the enemy and they need to work together to face Skar King.
