Still the best.

>the best
It would be if Godzilla vs Destoroyah didn't exist.

I don’t like bad CGI.

Best theme, GO!

I don't even know how to respond to a post this retarded.

>>211566109 (OP)
Why didn't this get a sequel instead of that atrocious piece of shit Minus One?

>>211566109 (OP)
You are catching the August rerelease aren't you?

>>211567182
Anno's sequel idea was more of a throwback to the goofy monster fights from the 70s and Toho decided to take a hard pass on it.

>>211566109 (OP)
I'm sorry mate, people watching in the distance as Godzilla wrecks buildings that might or might not have people in it, no matter how flashy, just can't match the feeling of having likeable characters in the middle of it and seeing people get stepped on right behind them to sell the scale of what they're running from. Godzilla's Rampage in shin is fantastic visually, that's plain to see. It has lots of unique abilities to it and it's got some real power behind it that jumps at the screen. On a purely visual note, it's great and that's why Shin is still one of the better solo godzilla movies. But character wise? Excitement wise? Just plain story wise? You can't have a one note blank faced prime minister be the only one in danger and expect to reach the same level as watching people you saw struggle and grow all movie desperately try to outrun the carnage unfolding behind it.

It's like 2014 forgetting to make us actually give a shit about the main lead before throwing Godzilla at him. Make us care about what's happening IN the carnage too!

It was definitely rough at points, wish they had used that practical puppet they built.

minus one mogs

Annο can't into sequels, newfag

Millenia onto Reiwa era Godzilla has been nothing but anthologies and one shots. They need to just make a continuity and stick with it.

>>211567473
>Toho decided to take a hard pass on it.
Toho hates money.

>>211567592
US is doing that at the moment. Fucking wild that the Godzilla/Kong universe outlasted so many other failed attempt at cinematic universes.

>>211567592
Minus One is finally getting a direct Toho sequel, and as >>211567687 said the Monsterverse is what's tackling the Showa/Heisei throwback "era" style right now with monster-of-the-week fights but consistent main kaiju.

>>211567687
Yeah, but I have mixed feelings about the legendary series. I'm a lifelong Godzilla fan, I gotta say I like Kong in that series a lot better. Legendary Godzilla has like no charisma at all. He's just tard rage

>>211567869
Ironically, it's supposedly Toho that wants that and the American directors have had to "sneak" any bits of characterization in subtly.
I've seen speculation that it might genuinely still be that Toho is traumatized from '98 and wants to limit what Legendary can do with the character just to be safe.

>>211567473
Damn that would've been kino

>>211567999
Why are so many Japanese companies so autistic?

>>211567141
godzillas movement in some scenes looks the worst it ever has, dunno why thats “retarded”, poor special effects are distracting. I like Shin but it’s true. when godzilla barely moves it looks great though

>>211566109 (OP)
It's in my top 5 Godzilla films. It constantly changes around based on how I'm feeling at the time.

>Showa: Always fun to watch
>Heisei: Can be a chore to watch but badass with good music
>Millenia: Really good or meh
>Reiwa: Snorefest

>>211566109 (OP)
Overall bad film with good moments. As soon as Godzilla goes to sleep so does the audience. At least it isn't Shin Ultraman which is effectively the same film but with no moments

>>211568724
>As soon as Godzilla goes to sleep so does the audience.
I've said this before and got angry replies. The movie reaaaally slows down, while watching it I was wondering if the CGI budget ran out because most of the cool shit is frontloaded to the first half.

>>211568319
ok im exaggerating, raids again has the worst movement. and its not utterly awful or anything, the cgi just isnt up to par with the legendary movies or minus one, and it goes from looking really great to pretty bad which is jarring. minus one goes from amazing to alright, and the legendary movies always look good

>>211567537
I fucking love Minus 1's Zilla but it has just about the worst actors in a Godzilla film period and that ending, holy fuck why

>>211566109 (OP)
for me it's (in no particular order)
1. GMK
2. Terror of Mechagozdilla
3. Minus One
4. Final Wars
5. Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah
honorable mentions to all the other mechagoji flicks. you can't go wrong with the guy..

>>211569044
>and that ending, holy fuck why
I still don't understand what the fuck were they thinking. It's already a happy ending because he doesn't kamikaze himself and returns to his daughter. You are actively dismissing the sacrifice your supposed metaphor for her dying in an atomic fucking explosion was supposed to present.

>>211572187
Respectable list.

>>211572432
Japanese ppl can't into endings, sadly. Also retarded GMK reference as your closing scene lol

>>211572942
>can't into endings

They absolutely can. This legit felt like some kind of meddling for the sake of the sequel.

>>211566109 (OP)
he's literally me.

>>211566109 (OP)
OP is right. I won't have anything feel like Evangelion NERV scenes ever again in my life.

>>211573191
That ending sucks dick

>>211573523
It's a definition of soul by both presenting the story as a play, bowing out all the characters and showcase Zatoichi dejectedly walking away from celebration and people he just saved because at the core of his character is always deep loathing for himself, where he doesn't allow himself to get close to people thinking that he only brings misfortune and calamity.
All in a tap dance.
I know you are just trying to be spiteful, lad.

>>211566109 (OP)
There are a million Godzilla movies and I'm intimidated. Which ones are worth a watch?
