Iron MikeyJ Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 I'd it just me, or did it look like that one of the Generals was the SAME guy that played the General in some of the Heisei films? Sorry I don't remember his name, but he was in a few of them, he also had a cameo in Final Wars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also Final Wars always felt like the the true conclusion to the Heisei series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LightningBolt Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 I've never seen a Godzilla movie before, but I'm curious with Hideaki Anno (the creator of Neon Genesis Evangelion) being a director. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I saw Kenji Sahara but as far as I know, few of the older actors return in this film. I do see some familiar faces from the later Godzilla and Gamera films. I am really excited about this film. More so than the 2014 film. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always liked him, so that's a bummer, oh well. He is probably my favorite returning character over the course of the Heisei series. I know some people liked Miki Seagusa, and I did in the first couple of films she was in, Biollante especially. But as the Heisei series went along, she got in my nerves.

Georgy Zhukov Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 She was cute as hell in Biollante and DESTROYAH! The other telepathic chick was cute too in the latter. The actress who played Miki had this health scare some time after the Heisei series. She is fine now and fans have been asking for her to return.

Iron MikeyJ Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 (edited) I just felt like they gave her to BIG of a role in some of the films. I need to rewatch some of them, but I think it was Godzilla vs Space Godzilla is the one were I thought "enough of Miki, she's in like every scene."

Cosmo Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Is everyone aware of the major changes they made to Godzilla's origin? I mean ok, we had Godzillasaurus and all but this is a whole new level we're taking about multiple forms and origin story . And the pictures of the last scene left me really wondering what they're planning for the franchise's future... Completely different from anything we've seen so far. Plus: most powerful atomic breath yet, bunch of lasers coming out of his back and "atomic breath" also coming out of the tip of his tail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan H. Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Wow that Godzilla design is amazing! How creative and monstrous. I've never watched any of the Japanese classics, or even the newer ones. I think I've only seen the two shitty American ones. I think I'll give this a go. That trailer looked good, and I absolutely love the look of Godzilla Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you wanna watch the Toho films, I suggest: Showa Era: Gojira (1954) Godzilla VS King Kong Terror of Mechagodzilla Godzilla VS Mothra Heisei Series: Godzilla (1985) Godzilla VS Biollante Godzilla VS King Ghidorah Godzilla VS Destoroyah Millenium Series: Godzilla 2000 Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla Godzilla Final Wars 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerage5 Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 Good list. Lots of love for the Heisei era, and kudos for giving Terror Of Mechagodzilla a nod. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgy Zhukov Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 Godzilla: Tokyo S.O.S. is a great followup to Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla. Monster Zero and Destroy All Monsters were a lot of fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerage5 Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 It was good, but much like how I felt after Godzilla 2014, I felt like I didn't really get the film I expected. I'll say this out front - there was a lot more Godzilla in this than 2014 luckily. It was nice that they introduced Godzilla plenty early also. That said, a better title for this film would've been "Godzilla Vs. Red Tape". Much of the human story in the film revolved around how they couldn't get anything done because of the political process. There's one scene even where a helicopter gunner asks if he's allowed to take a shot while there's a civilian in the area, and the question gets passed through about 10 different people in 10 different agencies, going all the way to the Prime Minister. The Godzilla scenes were pretty good, but the human scenes were pretty taxing at times with so much political jargon. Also, what the fuck is with the vast difference in quality of the CGI from Godzilla's first appearance to Godzilla's second appearance? His first scene is literally worse than the CGI in Jurassic Park, I couldn't help but laugh out loud at it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that years have passed, I can clearly say it was a big let down. My hype for this wasnt near like that so I am excited to see this. Ill see it when I can get it on video (or download), with some popcorn and weed and have a good time lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LightningBolt Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Just got back from this. Was pretty cool. More politics than I expected, but I also liked the politics and the human characters much more than I was expecting so it was fine by me. Soundtrack sounded like it was basically lifted straight from Neon Genesis Evangelion. First Godzilla movie I've seen and it was pretty damn good, honestly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmo Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 Watched it yesterday. Amazing. One of the best Godzilla movies yet. Hoping for sequels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgy Zhukov Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 Shin Godzilla finally gets a Blu Ray release date in North America. August 1st. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgy Zhukov Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Finally watched it. I thought it was better than the Legendary film from 2014. The FX weren't as good but they had the balls to show Godzilla in daylight and without brief glimpse. I felt in the Legendary film the only showing Godzilla at night and brief glimpse was an excuse for audience to not notice the CGI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maynard Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Shin Godzilla is a difficult movie. Bureaucracy is the main villain. I slept during some parts of it but somehow it's still a very interesting movie in a weird way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgy Zhukov Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 I have yet to watch it dubbed but I wonder if the film is better for it. The Japanese actress who played the "Japanese-American" diplomat spoke English very poorly for someone who was born and raised in the United States. Her last name was "Patterson". The subtitles came in handy during her English speaking scenes. A Japanese who had a couple lines in English spoke it more fluently. As usual the English language dialog is the worse part of these movies. They hire the worse English speaking actors possible. Possibly because money.
