I saw this in theaters and it sucked wiener. I still remember the blatant insult to the audience's intelligence at the end where they show that godzilla layed an egg before dying. Wow im so excited for a planned sequel to this piece of shit!
The movie was fricking baller if you were 10-14 at the time and male. But...the animated show was better, and I HATE that the entire timeline of the show and monsters in it aren't really "Godzilla" canon.
I like how even the 2014 movie had the same "Godzilla swimming underwater and making a huge wave" scene. 1998 is not a bad movie at all, they just needed to show the creature being more destructive and harder to kill
It was hard to kill because it was agile and smart. It took the whole movie to kill it, and while it may not seem special in the sense of an oxygen destroyer or a volcano yada yada, the movie was set in New York and they utilized an iconic landmark to trap it.
The cartoon spinoff was pretty good, but the movie was an absolute shit take on Godzilla. One of Godzilla's core traits is that he's nearly unstoppable. It's like Hercules's strength, Sherlock Holmes's observation skills, or Dracula drinking blood. Sure, you can do a story where Hercules is a wimp, but is he still fricking Hercules in the end?
Godzilla 98 wasn't impressive. He wasn't a beast that makes a mockery of all Man's technology. He was, ironically, just a big lizard. Two cruise missiles take him out, who gives a frick?
Never seen the show so I can't say anything other then 2 seasons is laughable compared to over 30 movies. The 1998 movie is not Godzilla, it's a bootleg Jurassic Park, with terrible cgi and Mathew Broderick, it can't compete with serious Godzilla films and isn't as entertaining as the silly Godzilla films.
You do realize that a lot of the appeal of Godzilla is the schlock and the camp, right? Only four of the movies are truly taken seriously on any level.
>You do realize that a lot of the appeal of Godzilla is the schlock and the camp, right?
This was cope invented years after the fact to cover for the insane decline in the series' quality. The original movie certainly was not going for "schlock", nor was Raids Again (debatably).
Not him, but though it was an obvious cash-in, it sure was comfy >when the hero attends a party and discovers his old commander and all his old wingmates are there >they then suit up and go try to defeat Godzilla
kino

Godzilla 54 >yeah so he's this mutated dinosaur been hiding in the ocean for a million years
Godzilla Minus One >so yeah as you can see he basically looks like a dinosaur when unmutated as per the classic story this is Godzilla 101 people so pay attention
Godzilla 98'
WHAT THE FRICK WHY DID YOU MAKE HIM LOOK LIKE A DINOSAUR THAT'S NOT GODZILLA
all I remember is the marketing. i had a huge popcorn box for years after, and a cool drinking cup too. frick yeah godzilla.
oh and the trading cards in packets of instant noodles.
I liked it alot. As a kid one of my biggest issues with Godzilla was that he was a big immobile frick. Like, he's a Dino-thing why the frick couldn't it be more lithe and shit? I got that wish in this film and while I liked it I came to realized that it wasn't Godzilla. I'm still in love with the design and everything about the movie. Having a kaiju that's pregnant and gives birth to killer human-sized offspring? That's neat as frick. Pretty gay that it ran into a bridge, got tangled up and died. No Atomic Breath or anything. b***h fell for an elaborate Spider-Man net, got outranged by an attack helicopter and called it GGs. You hate to see it.
It’s just Japanese nationalistic autism that morons parrot to be contrarian, hating 98 is a Reddit opinion
98 was better than any Godzilla besides Shin
You just like it because it's hilariously off-brand for Mario. Take that away and its a version of Theodore Rex/Adventures in Dinosaur City/Jim Henson's Dinosaurs that's too cheap to afford full animatronic dinosaur suits for its "Crappy dinosaur civilization" storyline since they blew the whole animatronic budget on Yoshi.
Nah, watched it a while back and on its own merits it's a fun, delightful movie, notwithstanding the actual dumpster fire that was the production. Eat it, homies.
And a Super Nintendo game. The whole thing of awkwardly tying everything to dinosaurs comes from World. Don't know where the hell the cyberpunk hellscape came from beyond the scriptwriters being 2kool to make a fantasy movie.
Nice trips.
Despite what you might think the french causing godzilla was not meant to hide americas distasteful history of nuclear testing but rather it was topical for the era. France did their last nuclear test in 1996 while this movie was being written.
TLDR it was topical, not a coverup
Shin godzilla is so boring, I watched the first hour and nothing happens except civil servants meeting, there is no change of pace, the characters are boring, godzilla isn't menacing
>french countdown >full display of nuclear power >mysterious and slightly sinister score
Absolute kino. 2014 tried doing the same thing but 98 is still superior
>watching this movie for the first time as an 8 year-old >hadn't seen the first Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla yet so I flipped my shit when two Godzillas show up in the intro >literally running around the house screaming "holy shit, there are two Godzillas, wtf!" >sit through the movie >Godzilla is taking a beating >Titanosaurus biting his lip and doing that weird flip move >turn to my dad and ask "is Godzilla gonna lose? >he says "I don't know, son >continue watching with rapt attention
Those were the days.
it's actually fun
top shelf soundtrack too tbqhwy
?si=ZwBrBBBYu5pAQjj0
It's worse
The main thing I notice now is how all the main characters are ugly and uncharismatic, the sole exception being Jean Reno.
>curly blondie
>ugly
ur gay
>all the main characters are ugly and uncharismatic
In a Godzilla movie? No way.
When I rewatched it with that in mind, it was still a terrible movie.
Nostalgia idealizes memories too much.
She was so out of this world crazy cute and she was only in a handful of movies. What ever happened to her?
Internet says she got a razzle for role in godzilla. Bit unfair that.
she's literally the worst actress of that era.
worst acting of that year
I like it. It's entertaining
reminder
H-hot
horny bastards
>luckily we didn't add a giant dangling zilladong
Ya think.
Supremely based.
Aw frick I shouldn't want more but I do
That's what I like about this movie is how savage Godzilla looks.
Kino scene
I saw this in theaters and it sucked wiener. I still remember the blatant insult to the audience's intelligence at the end where they show that godzilla layed an egg before dying. Wow im so excited for a planned sequel to this piece of shit!
How is that an insult to the audiences intelligence?
I think anon perceives eggs as " the unintelligent man's food"
The movie was fricking baller if you were 10-14 at the time and male. But...the animated show was better, and I HATE that the entire timeline of the show and monsters in it aren't really "Godzilla" canon.
But it's still not a good movie
Yeah, it's a great movie.
I've always associated green with this movie for obvious reasons but that's a lot of red.
It's a lot of blue and grey
>It's a lot of blue
God I hate kotm
eye tunnel shot is kino
BRAVO ROLAND!

movie so bad that blonde NEVER worked again
It’s a fun monster movie and I loved the design as a kid.
But it wasn’t Godzilla.
Some say it was a secret remake of The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms, but even if that's the case, it's still a terrible movie.
It really is closer to that but yes, that does not make it a good movie.
Only watched it as a kid, loved it, not gonna watch it again, it will remain kino in my mind, you can suck my wiener.
I still have the VHS btw.
Thank god those Raytheon engineers had the foresight to program a giant fish icon.

It has good parts that are fun, but it's no Independence Day
The truth is that it mogs 90% of godzilla movies made in japan.
Yet the real Godzilla actually gets sequels
Zilla got an entire show to itself with many times more monsters than the entire Toho roster, plus little human drama to suffer.
Never seen the show so I can't say anything other then 2 seasons is laughable compared to over 30 movies. The 1998 movie is not Godzilla, it's a bootleg Jurassic Park, with terrible cgi and Mathew Broderick, it can't compete with serious Godzilla films and isn't as entertaining as the silly Godzilla films.
>Never seen the show
You were saying?
Toho uploaded this to youtube for free, is it worth a watch?
Eh not really. Maybe an episode or two out of curiosity.
Any you'd recommend?
I recommend watching an actually good godzilla cartoon
that godzilla animated series was god tier.
Being contrarian won't make your dad come back from the store
Godzilla 1998 is the absolute best among ALL Godzilla movies.
>heard you was talkin shit
Best version of early 90s Godzilla driving.
These things were far too smug
>hating on gyakushugoji
>mom I posted the picture again
Kys fricking weeb

This was cope invented years after the fact to cover for the insane decline in the series' quality. The original movie certainly was not going for "schlock", nor was Raids Again (debatably).
Raids again was an obvious cash in. This is not up for debate.
Not him, but though it was an obvious cash-in, it sure was comfy
>when the hero attends a party and discovers his old commander and all his old wingmates are there
>they then suit up and go try to defeat Godzilla
kino
Obligatory
A 4/10 is still a bad movie, even if it isn't a 1/10.
as a generic monster film, it's fun
as a godzilla film, it's terrible
it's jurassic park 2 but made by roland emmerich
Godzilla 54
>yeah so he's this mutated dinosaur been hiding in the ocean for a million years
Godzilla Minus One
>so yeah as you can see he basically looks like a dinosaur when unmutated as per the classic story this is Godzilla 101 people so pay attention
Godzilla 98'
WHAT THE FRICK WHY DID YOU MAKE HIM LOOK LIKE A DINOSAUR THAT'S NOT GODZILLA
It's SEXYZILLA
it's needlessly loud.
The scene with Godzilla smashing through the dock is still the best VFX shot in any Godzilla flick, mainly because it was entirely practical
This is fricking hilarious like the class loser mad for not getting enough attention.
You are mentally ill
The spines are good but the running guy is actually composited like shit.
The effects are pretty garbage in this movie. Way bellow The Lost World or Starship Troopers. So none of the people who made this movie gave a shit.
Nah, there are spotty moments but overall the effects are still pretty solid.
As far as effects go, this one is an absolute mixed bag, some stuff still looks great while others already felt dated back then.
We want the T-rex audience.
The people whining about the climax of TLW are probably the same b***hing about this movie.
all I remember is the marketing. i had a huge popcorn box for years after, and a cool drinking cup too. frick yeah godzilla.

98 was better than any Godzilla besides Shin
Liking 98 is the Reddit opinion same as unironically enjoying Mike Myers Cat in the Hat and the 93 Super Mario Bros movie.
The 93 Super Mario Bros. movie is kino, though.
You just like it because it's hilariously off-brand for Mario. Take that away and its a version of Theodore Rex/Adventures in Dinosaur City/Jim Henson's Dinosaurs that's too cheap to afford full animatronic dinosaur suits for its "Crappy dinosaur civilization" storyline since they blew the whole animatronic budget on Yoshi.
Nah, watched it a while back and on its own merits it's a fun, delightful movie, notwithstanding the actual dumpster fire that was the production. Eat it, homies.
In 1993 the Mario "brand" was a handful of NES games and a shitty cartoon.
And a Super Nintendo game. The whole thing of awkwardly tying everything to dinosaurs comes from World. Don't know where the hell the cyberpunk hellscape came from beyond the scriptwriters being 2kool to make a fantasy movie.
>Mike Myers Cat in the Hat and the 93 Super Mario Bros movie
Hmm. Both of those are kino so maybe I should give Zilla 98 a chance
It's a good 90s sci-fi action movie. Actually it's probably one of Emmerich's better movies. It's just not a good Godzilla movie.
?feature=shared
I'M A MODEL, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN
>turn godzilla into a troony
No wonder Americans like it so much
I remember enjoying it when it was released and I was young. I've grown to dislike it a bit the older I've got.
I always hated that they put the nuclear cause on the French. It feels cowardly, like the stupid triathlon-legs lizard itself holing up in buildings.
Nice trips.
Despite what you might think the french causing godzilla was not meant to hide americas distasteful history of nuclear testing but rather it was topical for the era. France did their last nuclear test in 1996 while this movie was being written.

I always think of those French spies whenever I see or think of French Roast coffee.
>MORE CREAM!
>lost world: new york

What does that have to do with 98?
Please make your own thread and don't bring off topic shit into this one.
It's a live action episode of NGE without the Evas.
yeah it's even worse
>Please make your own thread and don't bring off topic shit into this one
more like godzilla X mothra - if you know my drift. uwaawaa ka-ching, honk honk, heh heeh!
Was always more of a Gamera fan :^)
/lit is back on the menu, boys.
Zilla was a fun movie, but listening to the intro music is just the best Godzilla opening ever.
>mfw
Amazing.
>french countdown
>full display of nuclear power
>mysterious and slightly sinister score
Absolute kino. 2014 tried doing the same thing but 98 is still superior
>2.17
No, it's worse. It's a SHIT FILM, you homosexual contrarians. Terrible miscast, terrible dialogue, terrible characters.
The '64 Mothra was so good that nobody afterwards could replicate it.
Kino
let me guess, you gays think the star wars prequels weren't that bad either.
Only TPM
You're right. I always love Godzilla 98 no matter what. Also, Godzilla 98 had a god-tier soundtrack that was pure 90s.
The quips and fx in this are better than every marvel except Iron Man 1. 7/10
>get back here, you moron!
Yikes.
Doesn't she also call him a wop at some point?
I don't remember that.
>watching this movie for the first time as an 8 year-old

Those were the days.
>I don't know, son
It sounded hilarious in my head. Way to paint such a vivid picture, anon.
Heh, glad to have colored your imagination, anon.
Recalling it now, I get a warm feeling in my heart.
Can someone tell me the lore or a wiki page to the trex? Was it supposed to be what godzilla evolved from or?
It's gorosaurus https://wikizilla.org/wiki/Gorosaurus
Thanks fren
Don't mention it
I mean, it's literally a silly American version of Godzilla. Godzilla has many, many silly Japanese movies.
Look at the grace as it jumps into the water.
With the success of -1 do you guys think theres any chance we'll get a mothra movie from toho?
I liked it.
It?
It’s still bad. Our standards just dropped due to consuming so much slop.
