It's good. Not my favorite candy but I enjoy having some every October.

I cant really picture it being him. Lillard is a little overweight and aged a bit these last few years. He seems to move a lot slower, thats why I cant see it being him running and all that

So what do you guys think of the analog horror Godzilla stuff out of curiosity. Some of them a creative and stick to the allegory, others go off the rails. Got to commend this one movie

I like them all. even saw the shin rerelease a couple weeks ago

My personal favorite is 85.

good for you tc. tho i am jelly i don't get to play it yet cuz my rig is i5 4690-gtx 970 so i doubt it will run. tho seeing video of the game running at 30fps playable state on a gtx 1650 or ryzen igpu perhaps it it's possible so next week i will get it to test it myself

its a shit horror game that adopted a lot of american horror tropes that diminish its horror elements

I mean I get that they are different takes, and I did go in expecting that, I just wasnt satisfied with Shin Godzillas execution. I was hoping to still like Shin Godzilla as much as Minus One (quality wise), but in its own way.

I actually really like the idea and premise behind Shin Godzilla, focusing on the governmental response and the satire behind all that. I just think its presented pretty badly, its way too dry and not engaging enough. From what I heard and just knowing its premise beforehand, I knew it was gonna mostly focus on dialogue and meetings and planning stuff etc etc, but they just didnt try to make it interesting at all, which I feel like is possible.

Maybe Ill have to give it a rewatch and see if I like it more, sometimes thats what it takes for me to like a movie I didnt enjoy the first time around. Especially dialogue heavy ones, like Oppenheimer for a recent example.

Oppenheimer is actually a (very vaguely) similar movie that I think does the heavy focus on board meeting scenes in a much more entertaining way. But I also disliked that movie the first time I saw it, it took me a couple rewatches to get more out of it and really enjoy it like I do now. Hoping its the same for Shin Godzilla.

Man just thinking about it again, Im not looking forward to going through that dry narrative again lol. But Ill give it another shot.

I've seen every godzilla film --- for me, KOTM is my personal fave. It has pretty much everything you need. Imo KOTM was way better than the two Kong/godzilla crossovers. New empire lacked a really threatening bad guy.

Shin Goji and Minus One are both really good in terms of serious films. Minus one had a really good message/themes.

Godzilla Minus One is my favorite by a significant margin (2023) and probably my favorite movie that year.

After that. Godzilla King of the Monsters (2019) is one of the few movies I went to theatres to see twice. It probably comes second despite too many annoying humans being present.

I also liked Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla (2002). Interesting dynamic with Akane going on. A pity there isn't much of that in the sequel.

What I don't like are several of the movies with eccentric, weird space aliens. Just...feels like low grade science fiction at that point. Not my cup of tea.

i've only ever seen the american 98 movie

i never quite understood how since Godzilla is from the Pacific, how it ended up in New York of all places

I'll always have a soft spot (and the Criterion collection) for the Showa era but I kind of find them the least rewatchable. The fights are always fun but, even for the time, most of them were made on a budget and there's a ton of padding and boring or weird characters. I think Heisei is my favorite era with millennium close behind. The legendary-verse gets more fun with each movie but are overall just kind of dumb spectacle. Shin and Minus One are absolutely fantastic but the Reiwa era is weird because it's not really an era. You've got these two unconnected movies and some unconnected garbage anime over the course of a decade and counting. We really need a "canon" Godzilla back. Minus One is getting a sequel but doesn't really feel like the kind of universe where we're eventually gonna be getting stuff like Mechagodzilla or Gigan.

Quit talking out your ass, could say this about any character. Put your money where you mouth is if you're so confident
