Godzilla vs Biollante has one of my all time favorite posters goddamn.

The original Japanese 1954 Godzilla and Shin Godzilla. Godzilla 2014 is well done too. The rest are niche guilty pleasures.

The king of monsters is based as fuck and doesn't have to defend himself to the likes of you.

>>85811414
There's only one good Heisei movie and that's Biollante. The rest are painfully mediocre at best. These movies also have some of the worst human characters of the series.

>>85811501

I've not seen Shin but I came here to post Godzilla 1954. It's a legitimately great movie with a wonderful score.

>>85815962
Now this is what I call a miserable collection of movies. GRA and DAM are dull. Gigan is marred by endless stock footage. Megalon is embarrassingly bad and apologetically cheap. Final Wars is a tryhard mess. MechaGodzilla is the closest thing to a good film here.

No, it's a depressing chore to watch, exploitative if taken seriously, and the style is just Honda ripping off Kurosawa, before he came into his own pop art genius.

>>85818399
No, it's a bad, ponderous movie. A chore to watch. If it hadn't immediately led to a bunch of peppier, trashier sequels which achieved true cinematic brio and value, nobody would talk about it.
The Burr version at least has technical interest.

What more is there to say? People think because it's the "serious one" they should rate it, but it's not enjoyable to watch.

>>85810598

1954, GMK and Shin.

Gamera trilogy is better

>>85818933
No, the only reason people care about the original is that interesting, dynamic, enjoyable films followed it.

Enough that nonsense. Godzilla is the best thing to come out of this franchise and one of the best science-fiction films in cinema. Great cinematography, hauntingly beautiful score, and well acted and written. I love the characters (Yamane and Serizawa) and the specter of death interpretation of Godzilla. It really captures the paranoid of the post-WWII and early nuclear era. Sure you could pick out some imperfections, though overall it's an excellent film. It is perfectly enjoyable to watch and my personal favorite film overall.

Following close behind is Mothra vs Godzilla and Shin Godzilla.

>>85819335
No, of course it's not. Nothing you've stated in this post is a real opinion, it's just hyperbole and clichéd fan-wisdom phrases. The cinematography is murky to the point of being unenjoyable to look at, the score is routinely competent, you just don't watch any 50s movies that don't have guys in rubber suits in them so you have nothing to compare it to. It doesn't capture the "paranoid" of "the post-WWII and early nuclear era", it's about the well-founded fears about the effects of nuclear radiation felt by a population many of whom were *experiencing* them. That still doesn't make it particularly entertaining, or great art. It's a dirge of a film.

All of that is real opinion

> you just don't watch any 50s movies that don't have guys in rubber suits in them so you have nothing to compare it to
Wrong. I've seen plenty of older films and I've actually been marathoning them lately. Gone with the Wind, Casablanca, Seven Samurai, The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951), The Third Man, Dr Strangelove, Battleship Potemkin, War of the Worlds, and I could keep listing them. Lawrence of Arabia is next on my list if you're interested.

> cinematography is murky to the point of being unenjoyable to look at, the score is routinely competent
I strongly disagree.

> It doesn't capture the "paranoid" of "the post-WWII and early nuclear era", it's about the well-founded fears about the effects of nuclear radiation felt by a population many of whom were *experiencing* them.
My bad. Nuclear anxiety. Not paranoia. Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Tokyo firebombing, and Lucky Dragon Incident. Poor choice of words.

> That still doesn't make it particularly entertaining, or great art. It's a dirge of a film.
And I disagree. It's engaging and entertaining. You prefer the colorful and faster paced films that came later. Fair enough. But that doesn't make Gojira/King of the Monsters a terrible.

Hey reddit, you don't need a line break between greentext or the inline reply. When you post like this it outs you as a newfag that hasn't spent enough time lurking and is literally fresh off the boat. These are all bad things. Don't be a fucking tourist.

>>85818582
That's an interesting opinion.

'98 Godzilla is a shit Godzilla movie. But it's absolute 90's guilty pleasure kino.

Godzilla was never good. At least not from a poetic standpoint. The only really beautiful meaning that can be taken from it is the symbolism. After it became a hit movie, it turn to shit as far as real meaning is concerned. Everything from that point is was just, "GODZILLA VS. X, GODZILLA VS. Y, GODZILLA VS. Z, REBOOT, REBOOT, REBOOT." Although the same is true for a lot of works of art. The moment they become a household name, and are therefor profitable, they magically turn into bullshit before your very eyes.

I haven't watched Destroy all Monsters since I was a little kid but I remember it being the best shit ever.

Shin Godzilla>Godzilla (2014)

>>85826584
It does. Basically an inferior retread of Monster Zero and the final battle isn't as exciting as the community has led many to believe. Most of the monsters don't participate and it wasn't even a fair match to begin with since Godzilla and Rodan are enough to repel Ghidorah on their own. It acquired its reputation due to the number of monsters and because it was difficult to obtain for a long period of time.

The hilarious thing about Godzilla 1998, is that in terms of actual quality, it's actually probably one of the top 10 Godzilla films. It just has little to nothing to do with Godzilla. It's a fine monster movie on it's own.

Everyone forgets that 90% of Godzilla franchise is absolutely hilariously bad D-grade shit. I would watch Godzilla 1998 over like Final Wars any day.
