showa has better day and melee fights, heisei has better night and beam fights, shinsei doesn't have an advantage on either

>>15019154
Final War's fights were good. They were just so commonly used in the whole film that they were diluted with everything else. I also thought The Kiryu movies had good fights. But yeah. Showa is still the best.

>>15019154
Beam fights get really fucking tedious after awhile

The last great Heisei fight was Biollante because they did some really cool stuff like have the vines be used. Mg2 and SpaceG had some cool combiner moments, but a lot of them are really fucked by the fact that the suits are so big and chunky that most of them are stuck to just flailing their arms around while they stand close to eachother

GMK, GXMG, and tokyo SOS had better fights

>>15019358
> Kiryu movies had good fights
Maybe Tokyo SOS, GxM had "Godzilla walks forward, Kiryu decides to hit him" not fights.

>>15019928
lol I had to check if it was the Bullshit Godzilla on Ultraman or the Bullshit Ultraman that hung out with Godzilla

That's "Zone Fighter" from Ryusei Ningen Zone. He's a very original spaceman hero who kung fus monsters in a very original way. He's made by Toho so Godzilla monsters including the main man himself show up periodically.

>>15019933
Of course, it should be noted that the show got its plug pulled so hard that the staff didn't even have time to know it would even be pulled (thanks to an energy crisis).

>>15019939
Was there some engrossing plot in Zone that didn't get resolved? I've only watched a few of the Main Event Monster episodes raw ages ago so I really don't know.

>>15019945
Nah, the show ended after what was a regular episode. Imagine tuning in to find out that the show doesn't air anymore.

Who here watches these films looking for a legitimately good overall cinematic experience and who watches them simply for the monster action?

>>15020428
I do a little of both honestly. I mean, I have enough sense to avoid Showa era if I want a good movie, but I also love them for the dumb monster fights

>I have enough sense to avoid Showa era if I want a good movie
But most of the best films are in the Showa Era, anon

>>15020468
You think so? I've always felt the Heisei movies were a little more impressive, at least from an aesthetic perspective. I've always liked the Heisei kaiju a little better, too

>>15020428
Cinematic experience.

I like the films with human stories that i can really get into that can compliment the monster side of things. The human stories tend to be the deciding factor on which I like more.

I also can appreciate a film like godzilla vs Mechagodzilla(1974), one that doesn't nessesarily have some deep human story, but is a well crafted and well paced action film

Four of the best entries in the franchise are Showa films: Gojira (1954), Mothra vs Godzilla, Ghidrah, and Monster Zero. Godzilla vs Hedorah belongs somewhere in the Top Ten.

Five Heisei monsters (Mothra, MechaGodzilla, King Ghidorah, Baby Godzilla and Rodan) are lifted from the previous era and, with the exception of Baby Godzilla, were all handled and designed better there. Less said about SpaceGodzilla the better. So that leaves Battra, Destoroyah, and Biollante. Which were all great additions to the franchise.

The Heisei films have some the weakest human characters and drama in the franchise. And most of the battles are either 1) overweight beasts bumping into each other or 2) beam spamming.

I give the Heisei Era credit for music and poster art.

>>15020468
I feel that way too.

Heisei used to be my first and Showa used to be my third favorite era, but as I got older I appreciated films like Hondas and Fukuda's more, even the wierdest ones like sea monster and monster zero (not King Kong vs godzilla tho, def not) and films like destroyah fell really out of favor with me.

Now Showa is my favorite among the 3 main series and Heisei is my last

The Showa era was lit, moreso than Hesei. You can say Hesei is more enjoyable, but it will never, ever be as lit.

How do we feel about him?

>>15020738
Sweet ride, went out with a bang.

What's with the shitfest down on the other Godzilla thread?
I thought /m/ liked Goji.

>>15020738
Cool idea, meh execution on part of the suit. I hated how the bulk of his fighting was just swinging his massive arms with immobile fingers.

One of the reasons G2K Is rather meh for me

>>15020738
I think he made a pretty cool enemy. Could've used a little more fleshing out in his backstory, and maybe ACTUALLY using his name in the movie would have been nice, but overall I think he was pretty unique and fun to watch.

>tfw they never mentioned Orga's name, so I spent five years calling him "Garooki" until the guy at the comics store corrected me

Funny cause they were both done by Don Messick.

>>15020738
Pretty cool design, fun movie.

I blame that last scene with Orga trying to become one with Goji for implanting a vore fetish into my impressionable young brain.

>>15020738
Anyone ever read the G2K manga?

I've only seen scans of some of the differences but it looks better than the Film desu

Are either of these good films? Not good for monster films. Good in general. And which is better?

>>15020763
They are great. Cinematically they are fantastic. They are good films, and they're a treat to watch.

Watch them.

>>15020763
Yes


The best godzilla/gamera films can be considered good films, I would call both those good films.

Shin I like more than 3, but I think gamera 1 and maybe 2 are better than shin

Better than cgi godziller at least

>>15020738
Great concept, meh execution.
The idea that he can assimilate monster dna into his being has great story telling potemtial, if only they'd do something with it.

> Gamera II better than Shin Godzilla
Gonna have to disagree pretty strongly there. I found Advent of Legion to be the weakest of the Heisei Gamera Trilogy. It by far had the least compelling story and human characters. On the other hand, Shin Godzilla has a great cast and interesting story.

I agree with these. More could be done with him, and his design with those exaggerated proportions would work better without the limitations of suitmation. As it is, he's one of the more forgettable monsters in the franchise.

I'm actually more intrigued by the background of the films, the work and ideas that went into (or got left out of) them. Also the history of the franchise and genre in general. That's why I got into it in the first place.

I'm not a big movie watcher anyway and honestly there weren't many Godzilla films I legit enjoyed, so if I "rewatch" them, I usually just skip to the monster stuff. But I love learning things about even the shittiest entries.

I guess people like them because they're the "dark" series of Godzilla movies.

>>15025408
>Hesei is incredibly boring and usually directionless in terms of its plot.
Agree. Even though it has my favorite design for Godzilla and some neat themes, I don't care much for Heisei. The continuity adds very little especially with how underdeveloped most of the recurring humans are, I hate the whole psychic element, the effects are often subpar compared to films made 30 years before, it's all just too half-baked for me. Like, it's almost good, but it isn't.

>>15023179
That's the Proto Heisei Mecha Godzilla used in the poster. Originally, it was supposed to be composed of multiple vehicles, but it prove to be too costly for them produce and rig. That concept was used for Mogera in Godzilla vs. Space Godzilla, when it's a 2 part mech.

>guess people like them because they're the "dark" series of Godzilla movies.

are they really the "dark and serious" movies? I bought that for 84 and Biollante, but the next movie had time travel (far more out there than the "goofy" Showa films) and they threw that all out the window with Mothra. Even destroyah isn't dark, they touch on the end of the world thing for a bit but it gets lost in the dull human parts, probably the dullest human story in the series

>>15026024
Someone post a gif of Gorosaurus' signature move, or the tailslide kick from vs Megalon

>>15026641
Still less out there than time travel

Are there any decent torrents of Shin Godzilla floating around yet? All the ones i've found have like 20 mins of footage missing

I dunno man, maybe I just like the Heisei kaiju too much, but I just really enjoyed 'em. Sure, they lack the goofy, light-hearted nature of the Showa era. But I still think they did a better job of making a giant pteranodon out of Rodan, MechaG 2 was an awesome mech, and the original kaiju were pretty creative, or in Spacegodzilla's case, at least pretty interesting in terms of what they present to Godzilla as a challenge.

I'm thinking in watch Mothra and Ghidorah movie, but couldn't find any good link for download. All the torrents that I found had one or any seed.

Could you guys give me some help, where did you get it?

>>15030418
Search "Godzilla Collection" on piratebay and you can get a couple there with a lot of seeders.

Thing is it's english dubs. I wish I could find these movies in nipponese with subs.

I wasn't too keen on it, even when I was younger. I remember thinking it must have been a rip-off or something, because even though I was around for its release I had never heard of it.

I was pretty disappointed with the Zilla design overall, it just didn't feel as iconic as the original.

>>15031243
This. Only thing that rally irked me as a kid was that they killed him with missiles. Even as a a kid I thought that was wrong. Also pretty much every film I had seen before it was a 'savior of the earth' film so I was disappointed he was the villain, something I have 180ed on since then and now think Godzilla should always be an antagonist unless Ghidorah is about.
