Shin is top tier but Minus One for me. I wanted. Shin sequel but now I want a Minus One sequel
Yeah what the Godzilla movies was always lacking was a deep dive into Japanese political bureaucracy.
Frick you and every other butthole that suggested this. I want my two hours back.
Let's be honest I'd just waste them here anyway.
Both are a stand-out from the slop that's been peddled by legendary as of late and didn't rely on slapstick Black folk and deaf mute chamorroBlack person girl bosses.
PROS > Score is good. > Opening credits are cool & well done (score for it isn't quite as epic as the similar 98 credits) > CGI is all largely very good. > Godzilla's design is among the best ever & his mannerisms/expressions give the impression of grizzled, tired world weariness. > Godzilla's 2 atomic breath moments are great & the 1st shot of his tail lighting up is majestic. > The Muto designs are in the same vein of that from Cloverfield but are very much their own unique creature. > The Mutos's interaction is very natural & animal like contrasting their very unnatural appearance. Similar in many ways to the 1998 version of Godzilla. > Really like the mystery/build up to the Muto reveal + airport scene. > Scene of the 1st Muto hatching is suspenseful and very well done. > Bryan Cranston gives a solid emotional performance. > Some of ATJ's interaction with Cranston is decent. > Casting of the film is solid all around. > Opening with the nuclear disaster is overly quick but well done and emotionally effective. > The halo jump sequence is very well done. > The film & handling of the monsters feels grounded/quasi-realistic but at the same time the scale/cinematography is epic.
Nitpicks, CONS & Missed Opportunities! > The score is overbearing during the scene where the Mutos are ganging up on Godzilla and stabbing him. > Film is way too darkly lit especially the conclusion of the final battle. > Not enough scenes of the military fighting the Mutos. > Cutting away from the monster fights got old fast. Doing it after the incredible build up to the airport scene was bad enough but they do it several more times. > The final fight gets interrupted too much. I do like them showing the soldiers with the battles raging all around them but after they land from the jump & set out to find the nuke they should have focused on the monsters for a while before coming back to the soldiers. > Great cast but almost everyone aside from Cranston is underdeveloped & underused. > Ford is the least interesting character in the film, is overly focused on & ATJ gives a weak overly stoic performance. > Killing off Bryan Cranston was a mistake. Him living & interacting with Serizawa the rest of the film would have benefited both of their characters & would have allowed for more exploration of Monarch & it's history. It also would have been a good excuse for Ford to stick around rather than the series of conveniences that result in him being directly involved for the rest of the film.
>series of conveniences
I hated that so much. I almost expected him to rescue his wife off the street from the Muto because of how coincidental everything felt.

Now do one for minus one. Frankly I dont remember much about the 2014 one aside from it being dimly lit and killing off cranston too early
There's nothing profound or deep about minus one. If you are over 16 and the movie felt like a revelation you are a manchild. No one that glazes this movie can stop to explain what it does new compared to the earlier movies.
minus one is vastly overrated. it's fine for what it is, but way too melodrammatic (and frankly boring).
I could say many things but I'll just state that I couldn't take it seriously because of how dumb godzilla's face looks. he's like a fricking cat
>Noriko becomes the protagonist of Minus 2 >Instead of an allegory for post war trauma, she becomes an allegory for those who succumbed to radiation sickness, becoming sicker and unrecognizable in mentality and appearance to her loved ones.
My critical flaw with this idea is how the frick you tie Godzilla into this because he's kind of important. It's super easy to tie in "Kamikaze coward pilot" with "Thing that needs to be fought and is scary", but slow degradation of raditation sickness into a monster is a little harder to tie into a giant stompy boy.

i saw another anon suggest the idea that she got G’s regenerative abilities and thats why this didnt kill her. it makes sense
I'mma laugh my ass off when Minus One backdoors the humanoid godzilla idea from Shin.
(checked)
this could be kino of the highest order if done correctly and not schlockily. minus one isnt schlocky at all so im very eager for a potential sequel
also shin godzilla is the best modern godzilla movie. i say this with not seeing minus one yet. maybe minus one is better.
nothing out of Hollywood has been good
original godzilla movie still holds up all these decades later
Neither

Minus One
Shin is top tier but Minus One for me. I wanted. Shin sequel but now I want a Minus One sequel
I wish they would have the balls to do a bizarre shin sequel with the humanoid godzillas
And they could implement their idea of a second Godzilla coming out of the first or whatever

>american lack of acting vs japanese overracting
Minus One, but only because Godzilla is Japanese so they get to do what they want with it
>The worst Godzilla movie ever made or the best one?
I'll take the right.
Did it beat 1998?
They're both bad
Right because Japanese people are human and Amerisharts need to be gassed
in direct comparsion left gave me more goosebumps.
minus one had the annoying kamikaze drama
Both are a stand-out from the slop that's been peddled by legendary as of late and didn't rely on slapstick Black folk and deaf mute chamorroBlack person girl bosses.
>American movie made for Americans
>Japanese movie made for Americans
Easy choice
g2014 is kino
-1 is fine
Right, but left was abandoned by Legendary the very next movie. It would've been interesting if the more serious tone continued on in the sequels.
The highway.
It's so surreal that Godzilla 2024 was ten fricking years ago.

you do an All Monsters Attack and have him be a allegory both in and out of the movie

is there a non cam or telecast version in the wild yet?
You a few weeks late to the party pal. It's in full release on pirate shits.
also shin godzilla is the best modern godzilla movie. i say this with not seeing minus one yet. maybe minus one is better.
nothing out of Hollywood has been good

2014 is the most boring monsterverse movie with the least action and godzilla
All sequels are better
Don't bother with the jap stuff
2014 Godzilla is the better action movie. Sensational sound design too.
Why can't I enjoy both?
bicos you must pick a side so we can insult each other
You can, don't let moronic secondaries try to ruin something you love
