Roger that, payback time.

We're all in agreement that the atomic breath scene was the best in the movie, yes?

>>14830233
Definitely.

>>14829677
The US DOE found Godzilla and Maki was the chief researcher on the project. He made off with a load of the DOE's research material, which is why the CIA/NSA are after him

>>14830233
I knew precisely what to expect because I read the OP pastebin which splurges over that scene, and went in with high expectations, and it somehow managed to surpass even those expectations.

The music and lighting really does the trick. When you watch the webms we have of him turning his head to hit the PM's chopper his movement looks really unnatural and bad CG like, but in the cinema the music and atmosphere just overwhelms you.

Movie was textbook definition of taking the piss.

I had the biggest grin on my face when the tanks start firing and they sound like firecrackers.

>>14830335
I'm not sure what movie you were watching. Anno played this straight.

It's the Robert Baratheon principle. He was smart enough to know he knew nothing, and delegated all his tasks to the people who did.

Not to shit on the old PM, though. He was dealing with an utterly unprecedented situation the best he could.

Just saw it.
That was fucking awesome. The first atomic breath scene (or was it plasma? My friend said it was plasma) was the perfect blend of horror and amazing.
The first form rubber suit looks really cgi at first, and the subtitles are really fast, but the first starts looking better and I got used to the latter.
Still felt bad for Godzilla, though that tail looked like it had half human-half gojira mutants on it.

On the other hand, two guys sitting next to us were laughing and coughing at nothing the whole time. The theater was packed and smelled a bit too.
sorry if post was too much of a blogpost

Also, on a related question, does anybody own any of the artbooks/making of of the Legendary Godzilla movie? are they good/worth it? How many of them are there?

I know there's at least 2-3 and I don't know how many editions there are. Wondering for Pacific Rim as well I guess

>>14832087
>>14832099
I had been spoiled on it being a fucking laser and the beamspam before the movie, but I hadn't been spoiled on how that process worked, so I thought it was really cool.

>>14832092
Yeah, I didn't realize it was CG until an anon showed us the process in one of the earlier threads.
I thought Anno managed to actually make a suit with those proportions.

I've already seen it twice, going again tomorrow.

The political commentary was very heavyhanded and the movie ran a little long, but otherwise it blew my mind. I'm a Godzilla fan before a fan of Anno, but I loved what he's added to Godzilla lore. Gotta love the new Godzilla life-cycle.

>>14832223
I mean, he made it seem more like Desetroyah decided to take on Godzilla's form. Its still interesting to see how he evolved though.

i was sitting next to a guy who brought his little brother and they were discussing all the old movies before it started

but while the movie was playing he was asking his bro a lot of questions, and generally just looked bored until Goji came back and he would prop up in his seat

felt kinda bad for him, but he's got to have the patience for these movies by now if he's watched the classics

>>14832233
Maybe he saw the God Warrior short before hand to hype himself up even more, so he expected to see more Godzilla because of it?

>>14832223
CUTE
What's the original?

>>14832233
There was a surprising amount of casuals (or at least what I assume) bringing their children into the theatres.

I always wondered if they were bored of the non-action scenes. It's not only pretty wordy and takes up a significant part of the film, but a lot of it political/complex in subject, and something they probably wouldn't understand too much of.

The people in my theatre fucking loved the film. For the first time I witnessed people clapping/cheering after the film the done (also the Godzilla fans with the Toho logo at the start), and I'm not even American.

>>14832245
That's what I thought as well.

>remember watching Home Alone 2 back in the 90s on the big screen and getting out of the movie

>>14832259
Thanks, but I meant the wikihow, not the baby.

One of my favorite things about the film was that Godzilla had to learn everything he did in it.
Walking, his atomic breath, all of it. You actually did get the feeling of a child in a new world. A horrifying, all-powerful child.

>>14832273
You should see cloverfield if you haven't already if you liked that angle of it, it has a similar angle in that regard

My current Top 5

1. Godzilla (1954)
2. Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla (1974)
3. Shin Godzilla (2016)
4. GMK (2001)
5. Godzilla vs Destroyah (1995)

I honestly didn't expect Shin Godzilla to be as good as it was. It was a very pleasant surprise.

>>14832345
You got 2 nerds, one of whom worked on the Hesei Gamera series, and the other who always aspired to do this sort of film. It was bound to be good.

So does anybody else think that Monster X/Kaiser Ghidorah would be a good fit in the Shin universe?

He has a similar sort of body horror skeletal look to him and like godzilla, he changes form

One of the details I really loved was how much pain is shown when the american bomb goes into Godzilla and makes him bleed. The way he convulses and his eyes gloss over.
Then he reacts by going completely into overdrive. Just love that.

I just got back, will certainly enjoy watching it again on Saturday. Pretty much anything I add praise wise has already been said.

The only jarring CGI moments that caught my attention were the skin texture when Babby changed into teenager. and also those few steps he took before going to sleep to recharge the beam.

Nothing else really rattled me. You lads?

>>14832397
I love Terror, but Mechagodzilla does it for me way more. The original reveal of Mechagodzilla is pure class.

Also, I like how the aliens turn into bad gorilla costumes when they die.

My theater was decently active. They laughed at the fun bureaucratic ramblings and their jokes, gasped a bit when the bombers when shot down, and applauded at the end credits.

I'm excited. Because I'm japanese. In our country, don't the applause for movie always.

Just saw it. Holy shit, Anno's influences were very heavy at parts but goddamn they were great. I saw the atomic breath as a webm like a month ago but seeing it on the big screen with the music is just fucking beautiful. Anno was able to pull off focusing on people while not taking away from Godzilla. Absolutely enjoyed it and very interested to see what they do next

>>14832102
Mrs. America: "Ch-chotto, watashi no buubu ni katte ni don't touch shinaide!!"

So from my understanding. Godzilla was an extinct animal that was found by the US feeding on a US illegal nuclear dumping ground.

Goro Maki was the head of the project researching the creature for the United States which they had captured, he then, because his wife was killed by Radiation tests or something, wanted revenge on Japan, so he stole the animal godzilla, after learning of it's potential, and released it in Tokyo bay and commits suicide.

I get that part.

Still confused on the tail ending though.

Did anyone else get a theater where people laughed almost every time someone said "sir"?

IF I DIE

IN THIS WORLD

WILL ANYONE

KNOW OF ME

>>14833154
I assumed he was adapting to the species that was capable of killing it, becoming an even more superior life form.

>>14833154
I thought he fused with gojira
quite montrous though, makes shin gojira more than just a mutant dinosaur in an inconvenient place

>>14833154

Godzilla was originally a colony of mixotrophs that when exposed to nuclear waste as food started to evolve by imitating the apex predator of its surroundings, that's why the form we first see is akin to sharks and eels and it becomes more human as the movie goes on as he sees us as the strongest species.

His DNA is so advanced that, unlike us, he can evolve at a much more faster rate to accomodate to his surroundings.

>>14833154
I just took it as Maki having discovered Godzilla's existence, being shut down by the Americans about it, and then he left a "HERE'S WHAT YOU CAN DO WHEN/IF IT GETS WORSE. FUCK ALL OF YOU" and kills himself

The tail thing is just a sign that Godzilla's current form was NOT the end of its evolution

>>14833156
Some people were definitely chuckling at the sheer number of times the Prime Minister gets addressed. Even heard someone parroting "souri, souri" after.

Any camrip?

>The theme that plays when Godzilla uses his beam is all about how scared he is of the dark.

>>14833154
The tail was basically a bunch of slowly-growing offspring.

Remember earlier when they realize it produces asexually and will attempt to "seed" itself across the planet? The tail was a sign that there's probably still some activity going on there.

>>14833154
>. Godzilla was an extinct animal that

>Godzilla was originally a colony of mixotrophs that when exposed to nuclear waste as food started to evolve by imitating the apex predator of its surroundings, that's why the form we first see is akin to sharks and eels and it becomes more human as the movie goes on as he sees us as the strongest species.

This is correct. Also, the nuclear waste was from an old underwater dumping ground used by multiple countries.

To sum it up from multiple posts by other people:

>>14830288
>The US DOE found Godzilla and Maki was the chief researcher on the project. He made off with a load of the DOE's research material, which is why the CIA/NSA are after him

>>14832370
>Godzilla absorbs other life-forms and becomes like them. Maki knew this through his research, and by committing suicide by casting himself into the ocean at Godzilla, he made Godzilla grow legs and head to Tokyo (since his thoughts were also absorbed) and start to sprout humans. This was the revenge and test he was babbling about in his suicide note.

It's not official.

>>14833351
They're ones without scores, yeah, but some of those are weird obscure shit that I don't think the critics themselves put up, so how are those determined? And the Japan Times one, there is no fucking way that guy is saying it's rotten.


>>14833344
It's fanart, you're replying to a retard.

>>14833370

Rotten tomatoes doesn't want this movie to be fresh or rated higher than the american ones so they rig it.

>>14831218
Yeah. Sound effects and a good chunk of the music is pulled straight from the early films.

>>14832102
I'll take em both.

>>14833374
I genuinely do wonder if that is influencing some of the scores. If it is, that's a pity.

>>14833374
That or they dislike how America is represented in the film.

So, even with his sheer power and might, humanity still managed to bring Godzilla down.
Is that why he started spawning tiny human-Godzillas? So they could spread and wipe out humanity?

>>14833374
Looks like it's already rated higher though (2014 is 74 critic/66 audience, Shin is 76/80).

And that doesn't explain how there are obviously bad reviews marked as fresh.

I'm not complaining about the score being rigged or anything, just saying that it looks like their system is kind of shitty.

>>14833384

The fact that many reviews are actually tomatoes by the page standards but still count as vomit is what makes me wonder if they are trying to boycott it out of jealously.

Dissmiss RT. It's a site filled with wannabee critics looking for the next "perfect" Hollywood blockbuster. I am not saying, however, that all of them are like that. There's alot of critics on there who really do give fair and unbiased reviews. But for the most part I don't pay mind to RT. It is sad though that the masses look souly toward Imdb and RT for professional reviews, but that's the age we live in. Like I always say, see it for yourself and then judge it.

>>14833342
No, but anno made him anyways.

>>14833440
See, I usually look at RT if I can before a movie to get a general sense of where my expectations will fall. But even before seeing most movies you can read the snippets of their reviews and get a general sense of how pretentious the reviewer is. They do like to review every single movie on the "does it deserve an Oscar or not" scale, which obviously you go into seeing any Godzilla movie for fun not for the awards it won't receive. However, I think this is just for fear of their careers being jeopardized by either not seeming professional or people wondering why in the hell they get paid so much to watch movies.

NECA is coming out with one as well, and the price will probably be more manageable, but the figure itself isn't all that good looking, other than its paint job.

So... How powerful is Shin's evolution ability? If the humanoid godzilla people were defeated, what would they evolve into next?

I sincerely thought the kid was genuine adorable and loved his enthusiasm. I was fortunate enough to have and 1/2 full theater so it didn't irk me much when the kid asked his dad questions once in awhile. I am not a pedo, I was with my daughter too.

Anno won't be involved though and in all honesty, everything good about Shin is from him. There's no way they'd be able to make another of the same level without him. Unless they do something like get Urobuchi (he's doing the anime) or Oshii (who has a cameo in the film) to handle it, chances are that if they make a new one it'll be just as shitty as the average Millenium film. Hell it'd probably be worse if it were a sequel since it'd be a sequel to THIS.

>>14833812
>everything good about Shin was from him
>Evangelion theme played five times
>Cinematography that you could mistake yourself as watching an live action Evangelion film
>random close-ups to tank treads and people's face
>the entire setup of the Yaguchi tram straight out of anime

Nah, all the stated above which were Anno direction gave me migraine, but I won't be a retard and say everything Anno did was shit; cause st that point I'd say his screenwriting was shit (it wasn't).

>>14833780
I mean honestly not many
Take a look at Godzilla Vs Gigan, that movie is a fucking travesty (even though I love it) the series has had it's blunders but it's resilient.

>>14833812
I agree with you to a degree but good is subjective when it comes to Godzilla, I like most of the millennium films but they're not without their flaws. I do agree that Anno did a big part in making this as well received as it was but when it comes down to it, the people behind the director really put the show together. I have faith that Toho will find a worthy director.

>>14833828
Remove the often unnecessary stock footage and Godzilla vs Gigan is fairly solid. The human characters are likeable, plot engaging thanks to the aforementioned characters and its simplicity, and the monster stuff is good fun (except for Godzilla and Ghidorah not looking too hot).

>>14833812
>Oshii
please god no as fine as the action and tension choreography can be in those movies, I fucking hate how suddenly everybody, in an attempt to look smart, starts spouting off philosophical quotes

I rewatched Gits:I recently and I was just so pissed; that and dolphin subs and bird-copters

>>14833832
Well, regardless of what you may think of the previous films, it's a fact that it's THIS film that did ridiculously well, and that's the entire film is drenched in Anno. And Anno has already said that this was a one time thing, so the next film, if they make one, won't be him.

I'm just saying that I won't get my hopes up.

That being said however, Anno and then Urobuchi shows that they might be taking a more liberal stance to Godzilla now and might be getting another anime director next, and that might work out.

>>14833826
The only thing listed there that is actually bad is Decisive Battle five million times.

Also bad but not listed by you: Kayoco Anne Souryuu Langley.

>>14833836
>Oshiizilla

Godzilla is called GODzilla because HE'S ACTUALLY JEHOVAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

>>14833846
And after he destroys all of Tokyo is turns out that he actually doesn't exist

>>14833853
at that point being mind-controlled into the mouth of a volcano sounds much less shitty of a fate

>>14833869
No man you just don't get it

Godzilla is, like, a metaphor, for the mindsets of the people of Tokyo, how nobody cares for anyone else, and he represents the inner nature of man

Also he's, like, an angel without wings born from an egg from the moon because he's actually an alien, but he's also God

Eh, I'd watch it. Maybe that's what they should do; up the ante in terms of weirdness for each successive movie.

The darkness is the B2 bombers. It's killing him. All he needs to get rid of it is a ray of light. He shoots lasers at them.

It's pretty simple.

Can Shin Godzilla beat every other Godzilla in a 1v1 fight? He is biologically perfect, aside from the need to recharge energy.

>>14834126
The need to recharge energy might fuck him over for a bit. I'd say that based on sheer rage, GMK might stand a chance.

>>14834130

At the very least he'll either fight his opponent to a standstill or escape. Afterwards he'll evolve to deal with the threat and he'll wipe the floor with them. It's his potential for endless evolution that makes him so threatening.

80% from critics would look a lot better, especially since Godzilla 2014 is sitting at 74%. I agree more with the audience's rating (66%) for G14. But this is a respectable enough score I guess. It could have gone much worse due to people's condescending attitude towards the franchise and Anno's tendency to leave sharp divisions in his wake.

Off too watch shin goji really excited /m/ haven't felt like this since legendary Godzilla and Godzilla 2000.

Just got back from the theater. It dragged on in the middle and didn't need to be 2 hours long, but it was pretty well done. The main thing I liked was that the human characters didn't piss me off like in the Legendary movie.

>That sound effect whenever Goji fires a beam
Gave me chills every time. I need that sound effect.

Do you guys think Shin should get a sequel?
I think it would be really cool to see our current cast of characters have to deal with a new kaiju threat, which would eventually lead them to allowing Godzilla's reawakening.
There's so much potential with Godzilla evolutions too.

>>14835201
to me the "evolving wings" thing seemed like it could set up King Ghidorah

Which is the better resource:
Wikizilla.org or the Wikia Wikizilla?

>>14835210
there is interest but I think most people knew Anno would just be a one and done for the franchise, I mean they picked him up so that the movie would be a hit and it is, they just have to figure out how to go on without him, I don't think it's impossible, it will give a chance for other people to try to step up and could make Japan a serious competitor for worldwide cinema with the step-up that Anno left them.

>>14835220
They're both the same thing, the wikia dudes are just moving assets and shit to the .org site.

>>14835220
>>14835223
I don't use either enough to comment, but like 6-7 years back all the staff and editors on the Halo wikia wiki moved off site and made their own wiki, and since then the wikia site went to shit and isn't as well kept up as the new site they all formed.

Have Anno make the next Pacific Rim and del Toro the next Shin.

That might actually work, think about it

Now I know what that fucking breath buildup reminded me of when I saw it. One of the weapons from the FF games.

I haven't seen it since owning the VHS 5 pack, but as a kid I thought you were supposed to feel sorry for Godzilla, and that really drove the point home

Best godzilla since the early 90s hands down

Good lord, just imagine him going full sanic with all spines at the maximum plus his tail and mouth

>>14830233
I need that shit on a webm as soon as possible.
Man, I was at full mast on that scene, I really wasn't expecting it to be that extreme

It'd be like a disco ball of death.

this needs to happen within the context of the semi-serious tone of Shin. It would be the single greatest piece of cinema produced by mankind

Agreed. I mean, it's got his regular high-pitched "hurt" screech, but the scream makes the scene so much more poignant. I'm upset that it doesn't include it because it really adds to the scene, but on the other side I'm relieved because I do feel a bit silly being a 30+ year old man crying at a Godzilla movie

>>14835442
I think everyone has cried during a Godzilla movie at least once.
And we all know what Godzilla movie I'm talking about.

>tfw the one I cried at was Raids Again because I was sad that Anguirus died.
I always cried at the end of Jaws. I was a strange child.

>>14835454
I cried during MechaGodzilla 2 when Rodan gave up his life so Godzilla could save his "brother".
And then, of course, Godzilla's death.

>>14835454
honestly if a shark lost in a fight with Jeff Goldblum I'd cry for the shark to

I was sad when Rodan died, but I didn't cry. He was a bit of a dick early on in that one, and he died with purpose.

Neither myself nor the old man saw Raids Again when we saw it for the first time. He had no idea Anguirus was gonna die, and I knew him from Gigan and DAM. Cried like a little bitch.

I would have cried at Destroyah, but I already knew Junior was gonna take up the mantle, so it wasn't as sad.

>>14835210
Anno already said he's never doing this again.

Anyone know if the subtitled version in American theaters was any good translation-wise? I heard that it wasn't very good.

>>14835599
Honestly, it's just a bit fast.
You might miss some details, but it should be alright.
