Are his movies good?
yeah, mostly
>>82105075
pretty much
What is his endgame?
Only the very first one. All of the other ones are filled with boring crap that have nothing to do with godzilla. For example the latest japanese godzilla was about how the inefficient and indecisive the japanese government is when dealing with crisis (fukushima)
>>82105132
Yeah fuck Shin Godzilla, a movie about how to deal with Godzilla was nothing like the original film.
>>82105162
How to deal with godzilla: go to a room, walk down a hallway to another room, exchange glances for 30 minutes, laugh at the guy who says it's a big monster, walk down another hallway, watch a television of footage of the monster
filler: the movie. Godzilla had what like 5 minutes of screen time
>>82105201
>1954: how to deal with godzilla
>go to an island, talk with a native, sit through kabooki, here people talk about godzilla
yeah you can do that dumb shit with anything
I don't care what anyone says, Final Wars was kino.

Like half of them. All the ones directed by Ishiro Honda are incredible because he was a great director, after that it's hit or miss but it's pretty great when it hits.
>>82105201
most of them are this. you have to spend time with the most inane boring characters repeating the plot to eachother while you wait for some kaiju action.
my favorite is when some old scientist guy will inevitably say something about them trying to get godzilla to fight the monster they're losing against.
like it hasnt happened 22 times already
>>82105551
>All the ones directed by Ishiro Honda are incredible
eh, hes had some misses, ones like mothra vs godzilla and terrorare great, but he also handled King kong vs godzilla
still more consistent than someone like kazuki omori though
>>82105686

Who is he please?
>>82105735
I kind of dug Godzilla vs. Kong, though it's definitely not one of his best. The only Honda I didn't really like was All Monsters Attack.
>>82105824
desu, all monsters attack makes a very good tale about a childs perspective of living a life of a latchkey who only has himself to turn to, in my view at least
granted the music may be a bit too kiddy and the dub pretty much makes all of that moot if you watch that version

Kaiju seems to either be something you're into or you're not 2bh
I thought every Godzilla movie I've seen sucked ass personally
>82106093
youve done absolutely nothing
compared to king kong vs godzilla, at least revenge tries to have some kind of message to it that works for it, the former tries to have some satire thing to it but its executed rather poorly
@82106124
fuck off moron
>>82106107
I'm kind of getting that feeling too
I've only seen the first one, but I wasn't too impressed
Do these movies have a continuing story or not?
>FW Godzilla just looks like he hates everythingexcept his son
>>82106899
Movies through 1954 to 1975 do, then they reboot it in 1984 only referencing the first films nd ignoring all in between
Then 1999(Godzilla 2000) to pretty much now it's all stand alone tales, until they decide if shin gets a sequel
GMK is the best.

>the latest japanese godzilla was about how the inefficient and indecisive the japanese government is when dealing with crisis (fukushima)
The original Gojira dealt heavily with those themes as well. Remember the multiple scenes of government officials arguing back & forth with one another about should they tell the population, should they cover it up, should they study Godzilla or just eradicate it etc? It was a criticism on the Government's ineffectual nature against the growing threat of Nuclear war between America and its enemies in Korea & increasingly in Vietnam with Japan stuck in the middle of the conflicts, the accidental bombing of the Japanese Fishing Boat Dragon No 5 off Bikini Atoll and so forth.
>>82106107
Did Shin make good money at the box office ? Would love to see a sequel.
>>82105217
>kabooki
It's Noh, you philistine
>>82110154
From what I understand they are already doing a sequel as not only did it make good money but it also did well critically there as well and got some nominations in their version of the academy awards
>>82105781
The Cookie Monster, you can watch him on HBO.
I love these movies. Really only the first one is amazing but the others are fun to watch in their own right. Some are downright stupid, some are just over the top, but they are good for background viewing because the fights are silly fun.
I really liked Shin Godzilla as well. Not perfect but it's the closest to the original Godzilla.
Super excited to see what Legendary is going to do with Millie Bobby Brown in the new one!

What's your opinion on the Biolante soundtrack? There seems to be a bit of debate as to it's being so different than other Godzilla films.
Most of them are alright if you consider Godzilla to be a cherry on top of a movie about fisheries or advertising companies or whatever. He's only in his own films for like 8 mins on average. The special effects are absolute kino though, even the first movie is extremely impressive.
>>82105075
Fuck yeah. Been a Godzilla fan my whole life.
Also Gamera's Showa movies are maximum comfy (except Super Monster), fuck everyone.
>>82110986
Is he still "a friend to children" in the Showa movies?
>>82110948
Thought it was great, I know some people compare the SuperX2 theme to Star Wars and I just don't see it.
Seems plenty similar to the military marches in like Monster Zero.
The more stylized metalish themes like Bio Wars fit the modern 80s aesthetic it & 84 had without beating you over the head with it.
Love both of the 80s films strongly.
>>82111030
Showa are the original movies where it was established. Even in "The Invincible" he saves a kid, despite burning down a whole city.
>>82111030
Yes, watch the 90s films if you want to see Gamera in a serious manner.
Absolutely superb.

Oh okay, I always get it confused which era is when. I heard the Hesei ones (the ones from the 90s right) are unironically pretty good. Is that also true?
>>82111030
Of the Showa films, the 2nd vs Baragon was the least kid friendly and also happens to be the best of the showa films.
>>82111055

Unfortunately though Anno doesn't ever want to work with Toei again.
>>82111161
damn my mom gave me those Gamera movies on bluray for xmas a couple years back and I didn't even watch them before trading it in to complete some other part of my film collection because I figured there wasn't room to start collecting Gamera films too.

http://kissasian.com/Drama/Gamera-vs-Barugon/Movie?id=15005
>>82111200
Be sure to watch the 90s ones in order because they are a actual flowing trilogy.
>>82111231
whoa whoa whoa there, Godzilla vs Gigan is no more silly than Invasion of the Astro Monster which is one my personal favourite entries.
>>82111106
GOTU is my personal favorite, and one of the best monster movies ever made.
Legion is ok, the weakest of the trilogy but still a solid movie.
Iris is, like the first one, one of the best monster movies ever. It's a very dark conclusion to the trilogy, but is a natural progression of it. It establishes Gamera more as a chaotic force that's mission is simply a good cause as opposed to heroic. It's very good.
>>82111231
>Godzilla vs Megalon
>goofier
Don't you shit on my Jet Jaguar. That Movie has the greatest Tag Team fight in all of the kaiju movies
>>82105075
Son of Godzilla is the greatest film ever made. It taught me about dealing with my problems and becoming a man.

Masterpieces are:
Gojira
Shin Godzilla
Good movies are:
Honda trilogy (not including King Kong)
1984
vs Biollante
vs Destroyah
GMK
Kiryu Duology
The rest range between decent and trash
you can't get into this genre unless you "grew" with it because it so fucking stupid
just watch the 1954 original, shin godzillaif you can stand it, godzilla vs king kong and destroy al monsters
2000 is a bonus
>>82112892
But who hasn't "grown" with Godzilla? Even if one has never seen any of the films before Godzilla and the things its subsequently influenced have been part of our shared cultural zeitgeist for over 60 years. And they're just fun in many ways aside from nostalgia. I think an adult who's seeing them for the first tie can still derive a lot of enjoyment out of them.

Reminder that an animator sent this to his friend who then leaked it
>>82112892
Don't know man. On one hand I never saw any of these films growing up, cause from what have I gathered they were pretty unknown here in Europe. But I still got into them in my late teens.
On the other hand I was always interested in the concept of giant monsters and old special effects films, and I was sort of familiar with the broad strokes idea of Godzilla through the first American movie. So in that sense yeah, although I don't have any nostalgia for them, I guess my childhood interests did factor in.
