Vs Megalon is easily in the running for worst Godzilla movie. It’s just so loving boring. The only highlight is Jet Jaguar’s theme and it comes at the very end.

I think it's just a thing that Marvel is sending out as I got an email from Cinemark also saying that you get a coin for going to the first showing on Thursday.

Oh I know, I love it now because it's so horrible. Nostalgia also gives it a bit of leeway since my dad bought me a VHS copy of it from our local library when I was a kid :3: I watched that tape a lot when I was younger. It had the "cutsey" Godzilla design which is why I think I liked it alot, that and because again of Jet Jaguar. I was into poo poo like Ultraman at the time too. [edit] And Gigantor.

I saw a vintage print of the dubbed Godzilla's Revenge (the one where it's all in the imagination of a weird bullied kid) at a movie marathon and I'll always treasure that.

I am absolutely gay for Godzilla and the true yass queen that is Mothra and will watch that film a billion times, but there's no way it can compete with the twenty-two film hype megatrain of Endgame, which I will watch two billion times.


Maybe if the film had Biollante

What if the ghost of Biollante took over Hedorah’s body and assembled an army of King Caesars to defeat Burning Godzilla, Mothra, Battra, and some version of Anguirus that doesn’t suck?

I’d watch that movie over Endgame.

Maybe with the director change we'll actually see Godzilla in his own movie for more than 5 minutes, or maybe the director wouldn't kill off the most interesting human character in the film in order to then focus on the human equivalent of paste

I didn’t care much either way, but I don’t give a poo poo about Godzilla, so that’s probably a big mitigating factor.

Karloff

Godzilla 14 is awesome. Gareth Edwards directed the poo poo out of it. It had the feel of an early 60's Godzilla film in a way, some of the sequences in it such as The Golden Gate attack are some of my favourite set-pieces of the last decade or so. Script could have been better, but it was hardly horrible.

I feel anyone annoyed by it due to the lack of monster action are gonna have those criticisms more than accounted for in King of the Monsters though. On balance, I'd say I'm more excited by King of the Monsters than Endgame, but Godzilla has always been my poo poo so that's not surprising.

As a pop-cultural thing though I don't think anything can really come up against the impact that Endgame is gonna have this year, not even Star Wars 9 I reckon.

My opinion probably differs from the general consensus because when it came out I’d already seen almost every Godzilla movie at that point and Godzilla 2014 approaches the character in a very different way, which was refreshing. Do I wish Cranston had stayed in the film longer? Sure. Do I wish we’d seen a little more of the big guy? Sure. But neither of those is enough to sour me on the rest of the film.

Frozen 2 and the Lion King remake are going to be huge compared to anything that isn't Endgame and Episode 9.

My dad and I didn't always have the same taste in movies, even if we liked similar ones well enough to chat the ones we were truly excited about didn't match up. Godzilla 14 was one we both loved and could geek out about on the same level, rather than just liking that the other one loved it so much.

I'm seeing Endgame for me, but I'm seeing King of Monsters in his memory.
