Legendary Pictures' GODZILLA - !!SPOILERS!!

[jnmx2000]

Are the Ghidorah and Mothra Heisei movies worth owning, the only 2 that I don't own from that era.

I like both films. I picked them up at best buy in the two pack. The deal was buy three movies for 20 bucks. So i got taxi driver, Lawrence of Arabia and Godzilla two pack lol

I actually think Godzilla vs Mothra is highly underrated. The Japanese version is actually quite good with possibly my favorite characters in the series.

I just think Godzilla fighting flying monsters gets so boring, so the final battle in GvM:BFE is one of my least favorite, especially in the Hesei series where it's all beam wars.

But, I do like Godzilla's portrayal in that film, as I do in "King Ghidorah". He was truly something to fear, even on a personal level.

I agree with this. That's why i like some of the older Godzilla movies allot. The suit allowed more movement for some more brutal fights.the battles were toned down quite a bit in the 90s.

They arrived today.

Screw it, 4K version won't be released anytime soon anyways so I went for the big $11.50 purchase.

But you've got classic moments like Battra throwing the ferris wheel at Godzilla.

 

[jye4ever]

Can't wait to see that.

Or that Battra gives him an hour to get out of the way but Godzilla can't dodge **** . It's those damn thunder thighs.

[jye4ever]

Cool.

I'm watching G vs KG.

So, i'm at the scene where the US army is attacking the island dinosaur.

First thing, I thought this movie was going to be crap but boy was I ever wrong, i'm enjoying the story and characters.

Second thing, Island dinosaur sounds exactly like Gamera.

Third, I now know what a Dorat is.

Fourth, that Navy commander, wow. "Resume landing operations?" "Nah, lets go".

I'm anxiously awaiting Godzilla's arrival and battle.

 

[GodzillaSpawn]

Godzilla's true arrival in that film=epic

 

[jye4ever]

Getting there.

HOLY CRAP, that android running down the highway chasing the red jeep just made this the best Godzilla movie ever!

He's a Terminator with a multidisc CD player inside his head.

 

[MaulFan]

The cheesy Spielberg reference during the American attack on the island just kills it for me.

 

[jye4ever]

Ok, this movie was bad ass.

I quite enjoyed it.

 

[Khev]

I feel like Gareth Edwards tried to make a movie that featured Godzilla but was more reminiscent of Jaws or Jurassic Park where you see the creatures at only select moments. I think that's a pretty brilliant approach. I just think Godzilla (2014) needed a more civilian perspective (like Jaws and JP) and therefore more terror. By making it so military themed it crossed over a little too far toward the first TF movie or Pacific Rim. I still like the new movie more than TF and PR, but I'm a little bit bummed that Edwards didn't hit a homerun out of the park. He was definitely on the right track.

Looking forward to watching it again at home.

 

[GodzillaSpawn]

I think you're right Khev. And by making it about a soldier and his duty, a stoic almost statuesque one at that, the feeling of horror, terror and helplessness wasn't there for the audience. The film seemed to stop short of that for it's rating. It didnt have to be as dark as the 1954 film, but the military took the disasters right in stride and always seemed to try a new plan. Even when Godzilla first showed up there were already troops ready for him. That was a big fail imo. There wasn't a feeling of reeling. Instead if a homerun it was a double lol.


The Godzilla sequences in "King Ghidorah" rock. Don't care for the rest of the movie but his entrance, the battle, him blasting Shindig at point blank range, and the way he revived under water at the end are worth the money for that movie lol. Any cool extra features?

 

[jye4ever]

No special features.

But the movie was fun, best $5.75 I have ever spent.

On to Mothra 92.

 

[jye4ever]

Mothra 92 is like an Indiana Jones movie.

 

[Niltusk]

The cheesy Spielberg reference during the American attack on the island just kills it for me.

That's Major Spielberg to you.

 

[jye4ever]

KG 91 movie much better than Mothra 92 movie.

I liked KG 91 quite alot actually, its up there in the Heisei era for me.
