>Better than every Monsterverse movie on every level
>People still pretend it's bad
And yes, it's better representation of Godzilla than all of those movies as well.
>Better than every Monsterverse movie on every level. >People still pretend it's bad
The only people who disliked this film were weeb autists who would've hated any design that wasn't accurate to the Japanese films. It's one of the last true family-friendly blockbusters with a great mix of action and comedy. Really a great picture.
You guys are all based as frick, I'm glad people are finally seeing the film for what it is.
>finally
I've liked this movie since I saw it in the theatre and have never not liked it.
It runs from the military, it lays eggs, it doesn't have a heat ray, and it gets killed by jets. Literally the only thing it has in common with Godzilla is that it's a large reptile.
It does have a heat ray though. He uses it on some humvees
The force of its roar just kind of blows some cars up, and blows the flames at them. It's really gay.

Predates Godzilla by a year. Anyway, your point is ridiculous. There's approximately half a million giant radioactive kaiju that aren't Godzilla. .
Any "large reptile" that becomes a Kaiju monster thanks to radiation and subsequently stomps around a city terrorizing it is Godzilla. Simple as. It doesn't always have to look like Grimace with fangs.
>Grimace with fangs
now you're really trying to piss people off
>it doesn't have a heat ray
And going by extended canon, it IS an actual atomic breath, rather than a methane-like gas that gets ignited.
>The force of its roar just kind of blows some cars up, and blows the flames at them.
Even if you want to be stickler and disregard the games, and Godzilla the series, it is still technically a "methane-like power breath" in the scenes in the movie. The novelization has the version you're describing, but since it didn't test well with audiences they added the two scenes in the movie, and mention the properties in the script revision. Whether you like it or not, a breath/beam attack is represented in the final film.
>It runs from the military
Yes, this is clearly docile and and non-aggressive behavior, and not Godzilla utterly annihilating the military when they attack him.
I don't know how to break this to you, but the first 50 seconds of this clip is literally it running from the military
If you actually payed attention, you'd see that he's not running away, he's leading them to positions he can more easily attack from. Throughout the whole movie, Godzilla is very aggressive towards the military (submarine scene is another good example), you're just butt-hurt they had the technology to show him moving at high speeds in them.
And why does he not just turn around and kill them or just flat out ignore them if they pose no threat to him again
He literally gets killed by a bunch of jets with missiles lmao
They do pose a threat? No animal in the real world can survive getting hit with missiles. The Japanese version has always been moronic for this reason, very much the "my version can beat up goku and superman" powerscale mentality on action. Like how dare they make the central character a realistic and vulnerable creature instead of an unstoppable monster who has to be killed with a magic formula at the end like in every other movie. How dare they try to add actual emotion and pathos to their movie
>They do pose a threat?
Not Godzilla.
>goku and superman
Yeah, that's a good comparison. This is like if you made a Superman movie where he could be killed by some dude with an AR-15. That shit wouldn't be considered a Superman movie either.
Huh that's crazy I don't care about anything you said because I go to Hollywood slop to have mindless fun not balance a spreadsheet of stats in my head
Care to post the box office numbers? Pretty sure it only got sequel shut down because emmerich wasn't keen and the audience reception was bad. It still made bank and the cultural ripples are being felt even today
>No animal in the real world can survive getting hit with missiles.
>Going into a Godzilla movie expecting or wanting real animal/real world logic
Congratulations! You failed the assignment before you even started.
>The monsters are too powerful.
Yeah, when I tried to irradiate my iguana by putting it in the microwave it just died. It looked like it was about to grow but then it just burst. The movie is so unrealistic.
> Him
> lays eggs
This is Zilla, and she is Female.
Why didn't they just fly higher?
Shut up gay
Even The Japs love it.
It’s better than asiaticzilla
Great movie unfairly maligned. Literally in discernable in quality from the Japanese films to anyone who isn't terminally online and the best godzilla design ever. Crazy to think this got a bad reception and now we are stuck with monster verse and yojo slop when for one brief moment we had sovl
This movie was the only time godzilla actually looked cool and threatening
In the Japanese and new American movies he looks like a fricking fat cartoon idiot I don't know why everyone drools over the design it looks fricking dumb. The only other movie to come close to a legitimately scary and aesthetically powerful godzilla design was Shin
I think it's time to rebrand the 98 movie to a remake of this to remind the japs who made the original nuclear lizard movie and give it a fair chance free of tokusatsu nerds.
I like Beast from 20,000, but the general structure, plot and design of Godzilla 1998 are closer to Godzilla 1954 than 20,000 fathoms. If it had been called Beast from 20,000 fathoms, people would've called it a Godzilla rip-off, and Toho probably would've sued over the design.
Oh my God shut the frick up
You fricking redditors are the worst
You see one thing online and repeat it ad infinitum as if it were insightful or meaningful
DAE godzilla 98 is a beast from 2000 fathoms remake? DAE think die hard is a Christmas movie? Bahaha Haha shut the frick up
triggered
Jerking off this movie as an underappreciated gem is as Reddit as jerking off the live action Mario movie.
You clearly have never been on the godzilla sub
>Literally the only thing it has in common with Godzilla is that it's a large reptile
Thats literally the only thing about godzilla anyone cares about or that matters lol why are "fans" always so picky so Resistent to even minor cosmetic changes. The mentality of the cgild who insists on the fairytale being told exactly the same every time
>Thats literally the only thing about godzilla anyone cares about
Considering this failed at the box-office, reviewed terribly, and is to this day a laughingstock to everyone other than nostalgic millennials, that doesn't just seem to be what "anyone" cares about
It did well at the box office? And outside of online weirdos this was The godzilla in everybody's mind until the monsterverse version memory holed it. If you asked anyone in 98-2005 what godzilla looked like they would draw you a pic of 98. If you asked them what godzilla movie they had seen it would be that one. Simple as, a classic is a classic and no amount of retroactive "no true zilla" arguments from chronically autistic weebs will change that.
>It did well at the box office?
Can you at least do the slightest amount of research before posting? There's a reason its sequels were canceled. Tristar themselves considered it a failure. It didn't make the money they needed it to and it had abysmal reviews and audience reception.
Matthew Broderick is fricking dogshif
And why so many Simpsons cameos?
Only Godzilla movie I liked as a kid
Let's be honest, because it was the only one with CG.
No, because the Japanese ones I saw were borderline parodies and this one was a somewhat more serious action movie like Jurassic Park.
Good movie. Minus One is the only other Godzilla movie that even comes close to this.
>Good movie. Shin is the only other Godzilla movie that even comes close to this.
Fixed that for you. I'm just meming, lots of other Godzilla movies are great, just in different ways from each other.
I used to go over to my neighbors house as a kid and watch this. Don't get the hate
>t. zoomer
Your ability to post absolute moronation with such confidence is inspiring
As a Godzillagay I love Godzilla ‘98 although as a kid I was still butthurt he was just a dinosaur and not a superpowerful god, but this has a great cast (besides Broderick), great music, great set pieces and cinematography, all the shots of the city and rain are giga comfy, this movie was made when humanity was at its peak.
All that said the legendary movies are kino. Godzilla vs Kong 1 is my favorite of those.
Everyone who likes this movie deserves to be shot in the back of the head, damned opposites.
There are far bigger problems in the world and people who need to be culled much more urgently you are just autistic
Reminder that the sassy kraut director included the bumbling Mayor Ebert because he was bootyblasted over a bad review.
And Ebert got bootyblasted by this character, so I guess Emmerich got the last laugh.
>I guess Emmerich got the last laugh
Emmerich is still around, so yeah.
This movie practically ruined his position in Hollywood and now he's basically a direct to video director. And it all started with (God)Zilla. Him and Devlin were kings they had every project they wanted and then it stopped.
What is the history between ebert and emerich?
Actually Ebert was the opposite of bootyblasted. If anything he was mad that the parody of himself wasn't eaten by Godzilla.
Nice bait, moron. this crap is just a footnote no one gives a shit.
honestly if the whole madison square garden parts was removed it would actually be fricking awesome
As I grew older I appreciated this film for what it was, however, I also grew to realize what an awful person the love interest is, and how shitty the cast is for encouraging her and acting like Nick was a bad person for rightfully wanting her out of his life that she ruined.
I enjoy when the japs reference it:
So embarrassing to do this imo especially with the noticeably worse special effects
It's like a sock puppet theater trying to call out Stan Winston animatronics as tacky, or a stick figure webcomic trying to shade Cezanne like who buys this shit you have to be seriously brainwashed to not see the clear difference in quality between the dreadful Japanese films and the obviously impressive American film (the 90s one)
>trying to shade
the frick. because it's pink?
It's really pathetic how people look back on shit films and say they're actually good. Just because modern movies are worse does not make past ones better.
I actually thought it was good the whole time and always knew the hype for the Japanese puppet movies was culture war nonsense, emperor has no clothes type deal. No I loved it when it came out and I love it now, nothing has changed
>he's proud of being a dumbass for decades
thanks for letting us know
>size does matter
written by a woman guaranteed
cloverfield was better
I love this movie because it made the Atomic Breath have more impact in the Gareth's one
this may just be the single most moronic take in the entire board right now
>There's a living creature the size of the Chrysler Building burrowing around underneath New York City and we HAVE NO WAY OF FINDING IT
The only thing that sucked is that Godzilla didn't eat the Siskel/Ebert stand-ins or at least smack their chopper down.
See, it just burps. So it gave this expectation of the second american movie also being Le Realistic and just scrapping the breath entirely. But then they reveal it, everyone went nuts.
IM GOING
IM GOING
IM GOING DEEPER UNDERGROUND
>size does matter
I hate how the 80s and 90s put all these stupid popsicle jokes on their movie posters. Who are they for?
weeb seethe is a guaranteed indicator of kino media
It's a good movie, just not a good Godzilla movie.
