Best giant monster movies?

>>211446931 (OP)
Not that one, that's for sure.

>>211446931 (OP)
>>211447311
Thank god this hack stopped making movies.

>>211446931 (OP)
what does clover eat? a monster of that size would probably need to eat millions of calories right?

>>211447482
I know its the based 4chan take to disown aliens but the queen is so awesome

>And He asked him, what is your name?
>And he answered saying, "My name is Legion for we are many."

Harry and the hendersons.

Mist behemoth
no-one will even remember 99% of these faggot 'scary' giant monsters in a decade or so
yet everyone still remembers the Mist monster decades later

Pacific Rim was such a fun movie. Uprising wasn't as bad as most people say it was. The biggest problem was the fact that the main cast was a bunch of young children. There was no reason for that.

>>211447311
I downloaded this a few years ago, because Elle a cute. I don't think I made it through 5 minutes

Godzilla KotM

>>211449294
legit one of the best Kaiju movies of all time. no idea why it got such bad reviews.

>>211446931 (OP)
The Host

>>211449294
I liked it but think it needs a cinema size screen to appreciate fully

>>211449496
>bad reviews
All franchises that already has a fanbase always gives extremely varied reviews.I tend to ignore the reviews and check it out if i like it.
Same applies to Video game movies,movies based books,some capeshit etc
>>211449615
I watched it in IMAX one of the best movie experiences i had.

BRAAAAAAAAP

>>211447311
Fuckin based. I know this movie gets filtered and it’s derivative of other classics. Don’t care. Fuckin love this movie. It’s just fun. Plus I love anything with Kyle Chandler.

>>211451729
these tripods were sexy

>>211447311
It's pretty good, kind of like a Goonies meet Jurassic Park kind of thing. Too bad JJ is a hack

>>211447311
>>211451825
It's a stupid illogical dumb Movie!!!

Alien tried to kill kids it new was harmless. It chose to capture and eat people but the dumb ass that is Jar Jar Abrams tried to illicit some sort of sympathy from the audience with Elle Fanning's, he a good boy he dindu nuffin, stupid bitch, he almost ate your dumb ass! He ate the house wife and the sheriff! At the end the nasty evil petty alien purposefully stole the kids locket that had his mom's photo!!
Stupid movie!!!

>>211452100
>pretty good

Are you retarded?

>>211452306
Nah, Super 8 is a decent movie

>>211447454
>DID A LOO DI A LOO DOO DEE DEH

>>211452577
>decent movie
>it was shot beautifully
>although the story was dumb

It was a stitched together patchwork monster of better films, Jaws, ET, Jurassic Park, Close Encounters of third Kind.

What the fuck was his problem?

>>211452647
Lmao

>>211452868
It just felt like a 90's monster movie and it was alright. It's no masterpiece but I don't see a reason to genuinely hate Super 8.

>>211452261
Didn’t forget the part where the US government trapped him and tortured him for like 20 years?

>>211452868
>it used methods from good movies
Yeah, that's a good thing.

>>211451067

gap
> Godzilla vs Destroyah
> Godzilla 2000 (American version specifically)
small gap (order not exact after this point)
> Terror of MechaGodzilla
> Gojira / Godzilla King of the Monsters (54)
> Godzilla King of the Monsters (19)
> Godzilla vs MechaGodzilla 2
> Mothra vs Godzilla / Godzilla vs The Thing

Fucking Based.

>>211447839
Gamera trilogy is completely based. 2 is basically perfect.

>>211453084
I've never seen a 90's movie this dumb. The dumb son of a bitch wanted an ET meets Close Encounters ending, so he plays this ET flight of the Navigator whimsical music FOR A DINOSAUR SPIDER JAWS THING THAT ATE DOZENS OF PEOPLE!!!!!!!!

>>211453089
When it touches you a part of it goes into you and you go into it, yeah?


So it knew all its Innocent Victims Intimately making it a Sociopathic Demon, which would be fine were it not for Jar Jar Abrams insisting on an ET ending trying to draw an, Our little Alien friend is heading back home, from the Audience like Close Encounters or E.T.

>>211453122
No, its not! Jar Jar Abrams literally tried to illicit a, He dindu nuffin he a good boy"E.T. phone home"!!!!!

>>211453381
Why would it give a fuck if it’s innocent or not? Soldiers kill innocent foreign civilians every day. And if was a POW escaping a foreign country I wouldn’t give 2 shits about the civilians of that country. I’m stealing cars, killing people, and getting the fuck out because I shouldn’t be there. The blame is all on the captors.

>>211453456
Show is on the doll where JJ touched you anon.

>>211453468
I'm not talking about the Monster, I'm talking about Jar Jar Abrams trying to, in the movie's final act, Portray the murdering monster as a sympathetic entity.

>>211453498
Jar Jar is a hack!!!

>>211453570
Why not? There’s literally no reason not to. It’s a fun movie starring kids. Not every scary alien movie has to end in blood and guts. The whole B plot of the movie is about forgiveness and moving on. The main kid and girl forgive their dads and the sheriff dad forgives the other dude for killing his wife, or at least lets it go

>>211453897
Because it's dumb! Jar Jar Abrams isn't a story teller, rather he's a copying and pasting DUMB ASS! Forgiveness? The Phucking thing wanted to Eat the Elle Fanning Character! Forgiveness? HA!!

For 90% of the movie he ramped up the Jaws meets Jurassic Park aura, but the last 10%, he a good boy, he dindu nuffin, E.T. phone home!

Can we agree these are the absolute best showa films aside from Gojira?

>>211447839
I usually think Bible quotes in movies are cringe and anti-kino. Especially if it's just white text on a black background right at the beginning of the movie.
But I don't know, I always thought the quote in Gamera 2 was really cool for some reason.

Any predictions?

>>211447311
Movie feels like over bloated nothing and then and then the alien arrives and then just leaves.

>>211454790
and then?

>>211454743
Kong sucks ass.Zilla and Space kaiju gonna be kino
t.Monster movie enjoyer

>>211454820
Dude and then people have a physic connection with the alien like like like in E.T.!! And then the alien is building a spaceship underneath the town!!! And then the alien eats people and then the alien doesn’t eat people and then the tiny transformers cubes are the spaceship and then……the alien…. uh just…..leaves.

>>211454743
What is there to predict? There is no overarching story in this universe. It’s just random stupid shit every episode.

>>211446931 (OP)
this franchise went nowhere because the monster design sucks
>it was on purpose!
>they didn't want fighting monsters!
they didn't want a lifelong franchise or billions of dollars either. they completely fucked it. if this thing looked cool, cloverfield would be a huge franchise by now

>>211453266
why the american versions? arent all the 80s+ movies the same? do you just prefer the voice acting or were they actually edited?

>>211453266
>>211455320
My full review for both cuts of 84/85.

CONS
> The semi comic relief hobo is lame & the leads shunningly refusing him when he offers help in the middle of apocalyptic hell is really bizarre & sadly indirectly results in his death.
> Nether the suit nor the cybot's faces look all that great when straight on, the eyes are too large on both.

PROS
> Great main suit. Love the lower placement of the spines.
> The Cybot's mouth, fangs & curling lips look fantastic.
> Wonderful score.
> Probably the best city set of the franchise. Love that despite Godzilla's increased size the modern skyscrapers still tower over him.
> Everything feels sleek & incredibly modernized compared to the 1970s G films.
> Some of the best military engagements & tech porn of the series.
> The boat sequence with the victims of the sea lice being found is fairly effective & moody. Similar to the boat sequence in The H-Man.

PROS ADDED BY THE AMERICAN EDITS
> The added American score tracks from Def Con are great & fit with the original score basically seamlessly.
> The American opening credits are superior for building seriously ominous mood.
> Burr's presence gives a nice nostalgic connection to the original film.
> The American military personnel while a little campy don't go too far & it gives a glimpse at the rest of the world's reaction to these events.
> Dub is decent.
> A few poor special effects shots involving the Cybot are removed.
Possibly most importantly...
> The editing of the build up to the missile collision is vastly superior in the American cut. In the Japanese cut they cut away from the countdown at the last minute & then return to it as a after thought.

CONS OF THE AMERICAN EDITS
> A cool artful shot of Godzilla reflected in windows is removed.
> Reversal of the Soviet's intentions (I personally don't care about this at all it works fine ether way)

>>211453266
>>211455320
>>211455580
On 2000 the sound design and pacing are vastly vastly better.

>>211455320
The American cut of 84/85 added in Raymond Burr returning from his role in the American version of 54.

Godzilla.

>>211446931 (OP)
>build up suspense by showing the disastrous effects of a monster, never the thing itself
>completely ruin this by showing shitty cgi giant squidman

>>211447545
that's like the twink in skinny jeans of godzillas. not even a chalamet. more like a kodi smit-mcphee. the kodi smit-mcphee of godzillas.

>>211451067
What film?

>>211454743

>>211457565
Godzilla (2014).

>>211447482
Damn imagine having sex with that thing…i’d probably die in the process

Anyone seen this?

Anyone seen this?

>>211460930
yes. its weird. its better than the godzilla netflix trash. its better than uprising, which was irredeemable

>>211455030
There were attempts at building the world in King of the Monsters and Skull Island, then the GvK films turned it into a cartoon.

>>211462345
Couldn't have been worse than this, at least.

>>211460930
It feels like it's a totally different franchise, it's an anime about angsty teens who make friends with a kid who's also a kaiju, in a pseudo Mad Max setting. It's ok I guess.

>>211448127
>jobs to the military
oh no no no hahahaha
