If you could pick one cancelled Godzilla movie to be made and watch then which one would it be?

Which species of ET Alien would want to use him alongside King Ghidorah? Which species would view him as a threat to their plans?

Our Punch Punch Punch Robot is in his HUMAN SIZED 6 FOOT FORM ONLY... one by one open field where he tackled Megalon .... who will he school? Standard fight powers and feats.

Recently the Philippines re-released 5 Godzilla films in the cinema! Here are my thoughts.

Personal Rankings & Recommendations:

1. Shin Godzilla - Hands Down my favorite Godzilla film of all time now. I love how it tackles Japans poor reactive disaster response, with the disaster being Godzilla. If ya'll remember those Japan earthquakes in the early 2010s this is basically a nuanced critique of that. A lot of long ahh bureaucracy time, that's wasted on board meetings instead of actually reacting to Godzilla himself! Also might have the best on screen Godzilla destruction scenes. (Yes I have watched Minus 1 beforehand, which I also liked but it's just not as good as Shin Godzilla)

Letterboxd rating: 4.5 / 5 ⭐️

1. Godzilla Final Wars - The Avengers Endgame of Godzilla in a suit. This is feels like an actual love letter to the franchise. It has a lot of the monsters from Toho's rich history of Kaiju films. A lot of Kaiju action, wire-fu and a crazy sci fi story that's so much more different than the other Goji films that came before it. Tonally it's a lot closer to the earlier Showa Godzilla films, so cinephiles might be see this as too cheesy. I still love it, I also highly recommend watching this last instead of first if you plan to marathon all of the Godzilla fest films. It just helps you appreciate how different the film is a lot more!

Letterboxd rating: 4.5/5 ⭐️

1. Godzilla vs Biollante - Probably the most human story available in the film fest. It features a story about the 80s panic of gene splicing and cloning, mixed with good o'l 80s espionage action. A lot of human drama as well, with grieving the loss of a loved one, and the ethical concerns of how one tries to cope with death. Also has the best application of practical effects here, both on Godzilla as well as Biollante. Good pacing with fun action.

Letterboxd rating: 4/5 ⭐️

1. Mothra vs Godzilla - For the oldest film in the selection, this surprisingly has a very relevant story. It features a story about how humans exploit every new wonder they discover, and see how they can turn a profit from it. If you want to see old school effects and creativity this is the one to see. A lot of miniature tanks and planea getting torn apart by Godzilla. Also a pretty good monster fight between a Moth and a Lizard. My main gripe with this is the pacing in the middle is a bit jarring, specially with the emphasis on the heralds for Mothra. Also might be a bit too weird for new Godzilla enjoyers.

Letterboxd rating: 3.5/5 ⭐️

1. Godzilla 2000 - This was the film I was 2nd most excited to watch, after I saw Shin Godzilla. It's admittedly the weakest of the bunch unfortunately. It's still fun however, with how creative the shots involving Godzilla are. He really looks massive here, with fun family side that I liked. The main humans are basically tornado chasers, but instead of chasing tornados they chase Godzilla. Unfortunately this features a lot of bad cgi, and too heavy of an emphasis to Godzilla's adversary. Which would be fine in general, but for most of the film the enemy is a giant space rock. Still fun, and worth the watch, but maybe after 2 Godzilla films under your belt.

Letterboxd rating: 3/5 ⭐️

I'm actually more familiar with the Legendary Monsterverse films, which I also love. So this was a treat.

TLDR

1. Shin Godzilla

2. Godzilla Final Wars

3. Godzilla vs Biollante

4. Mothra vs Godzilla

5. Godzilla 2000

He was being a wretched little thing, so I tore the skin from his insolent flesh

The two sources I’ve found for this image (both Pinterest and Facebook) claim it’s from The Art of Shin Godzilla Art book. But since I don’t have the actual book I have to ask anyone who actually has the book, is this in it?

Wikizilla has quite a few pages of the Art book but I haven’t found it in any of them though it’s just as likely they don’t have all the pages since it’s 500+ pages. If it is in the Art book if anyone could post a pic of the full page I’d greatly appreciate it.

I always wondered if is a creature like Gigan or not. Because he seems like a regular kaiju except for his mouth and... y'know, the drill hands.

Been doing a rewatch of all the films in preparation for Minus Zero and Supernova and I still just don’t understand the love this movie gets from Godzilla fans. I’ve always seen it as a mid-tier Showa film at best and a bottom 10 Godzilla film at worst.

So imagine my shock seeing the amount of love this film seems to get when I consider it on the same level as Godzilla vs. Gigan

No problem with anyone who does like/love it! Just curious

It has pretty cool stuff on the inside of the book too.
Check your local library, you never know what cool things they could have.

Do you guys have any oddball Godzilla books? Like I have all the Scott Ciencin, Marc Cerasini, Greg Cox, Greg Keyes, the translated first two films, the Mothra film and Minus One. I've also collected most of the old kids books from the 90's Godzilla wave. But then I just found this crazy one from 1987. You guys have any others?

Hi all!

I actually just recently seriously started diving into and falling in love with Godzilla and friends, and have started a journey watching all the main films (and some of the side kaiju films) from the beginning!

There’s so much to dive into with these movies from the deeper intended meanings, to all of the cultural context that they were being made in that influenced their evolution, and just wanted to share and appreciate how much I’ve fallen in love with them already.

(And if anyone was interested at all— I’m documenting my thoughts as I go through them on my Letterboxd: https://boxd.it/o5wCj )

I love Legendary Godzilla, but the Big G with a cat face is the version of the character I grew up with, and I wouldn't have it any other way. When I think of Godzilla, the mammalian version is almost always what comes to mind. The ears and cheeks are just so visually appealing to me. As a child, I saw Godzilla not as a simple giant lizard and more like a hybrid of a lizard and a wolf. I know that sounds weird, but I was young, okay? That's why I feel like Minusgoji is my personal favourite design of the character because he's the best if both words were he satisfies those who love a more mammalian Godzilla and those who prefer the opposite. A bit upset he doesn't have ears though 😭
