Imagine if just 5 years ago, someone told you there’d be a Godzilla movie of all things that would actually make you cry…

If any of you guys haven't seen it, I'd recommend the 2005 King Kong (Extended Cut)

Others already list some good Godzilla movies. So here is another great one, Pacific Rim (2013) The movie is a love letter to kaiju movies and giant robot anime from Guillermo del Toro.

Shin Godzilla is super cool, but I heard it drags on a little bit. Just in case you guys get into the monsterverse movies (which I really hope you do) it starts with Godzilla 2014.

A good looking 3D modeled monster is rarely what takes a big bulk of movies budgets. It’s usually the giant bombastic action sequences with explosions left and right, stunts, and the like. Add a bunch of A-list actors, reshoots, rushed productions, a billion cameras, and you start to get massively inflated budget. This movie did a really good job keeping its action within scope for what they could achieve with a lower budget.

One of the most interesting war facts I ever learned was that until a few years ago every Purple heart awarded was created in advance of 1945 in preparation for the invasion of Japan because we thought that that many men would be wounded.

Booms version of vietnam was not entirely accurate but I get what he was saying. Also every country leaves mines because it sucks to try to demine an area

Now that I've finished the movie... a few points for the post-viewing discussion
The Godzilla dropkick is Godzilla vs Megalon, NOT King Kong vs Godzilla. But the electricity part is real.
However, a fun behind the scenes fact about Godzilla movies... If Godzilla ever has electricity powers in the movie it's because the script was originally supposed to be a King Kong movie. Usually once production starts Toho was just like "You know, we don't want to deal with the licensing for Kong" and then they just swapped in Godzilla instead.
Also - Godzilla vs Megalon had the quickest production schedule. It was filmed in like 3-6 weeks.
Gamera is NOT a Godzilla Daikaiju. Gamera is a rival studio's answer to Godzilla. There has never been a crossover for this reason, but no joke, in the kaiju comunnity this would be equivalent of Ironman vs Batman having a fight.
And the fact you HAVEN'T SEEN SHIN GODZILLA?!? Yes, that is a must watch. I cannot wait for that reaction.

Godzilla movie recommendations
Godzilla lore path -
Godzilla 54, Godzilla Raids Again, Rodan, Mothra, Mothra vs Godzilla, Ghidorah the Three-Headed Monster
THEN Return of Godzilla, Godzilla vs Biollante, Godzilla vs Ghidorah 1991, Godzilla vs Mothra 1992, Godzilla vs Destoroyah
More like Minus One -
The original 54 (symbolism of nuclear weapons), Godzilla vs Hedorah (sybolism of human pollution), Godzilla 1985, Godzilla vs Biollante (symbolism of Biotechnology), Shin Godzilla (government mismanagement in the face of disasters, specifically the Fukushima tsunami and nuclear disaster)
Campy Godzillas
Original Mothra, Godzilla vs Kong, Son of Godzilla, Godzilla vs Megalon, Godzilla vs MechaGodzilla, Terror of Mechagodzilla, Godzilla vs King Ghidorah (1991), Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla 2, Godzilla 2000, Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah Giant Monsters All-Out Attack, Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla and Tokyo SOS, Final Wars
And of course I argue ALL of the American Godzillas, including the Roland Emmerich one

Here are some recommended monster movies. Note it’s a long list and you don’t have to watch them all but are some good choices. Here are some one off movies: King Kong (2005), the Gamera trilogy in the 90’s, Godzilla (1954), Shin Godzilla, Mothra (1961), King Kong vs Godzilla (1962), Mothra vs Godzilla (1964), Ghidorah The Three Headed Monster (1964), Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla (1974). There is also the Heisei Godzilla timeline which has 7 movies: they are Return of Godzilla 1984, Godzilla vs Biolante, Godzilla vs King Ghidorah (1991), Godzilla vs Mothra: Battle for Earth, Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla 2 (1993), Godzilla vs Spacegodzilla, & Godzilla vs Destroyah. A few more one off movies I can mention are Godzilla 2000 (US Version), Godzilla, Mothra, King Ghidorah, Giant Monsters All Out Attack (2001), Godzilla Final Wars (2004). Then lastly we have the Monsterverse films which are Godzilla (2014), Kong: Skull Island, Godzilla King of the Monsters (2019), Godzilla vs Kong, & Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire.

I sounded just like Boom, answering with extreme disbelief that Ruff didnt know BOC's Godzilla. And yeah when they wrote articles amd shit saying "oh you did it for so little it must have been at least 20 million" and the director joked that that would have been an amazing budget. Think it was about 10-15. And its incredible. Shows that movies know are just like fancy paintings and modern art shit. its all just money laundering.

I’m excited to watch this. Fantastic movie. The one thing that I would say is that while we got a great human story which is rare for the Godzilla franchise, I felt like they didn’t showcase the tragedy of Godzilla. This Godzilla was heavily destructive/ruthless but with every other version of him, Godzilla is a usually more of tragic character even in the OG 1954 movie. He usually was a creature minding his business and humanity’s atomic testings not only mutate him but traumatize him. So he’s now in constant pain because of the radiation and hates humanity for what they did to him which is why he attacks cities in most movies. However Godzilla is also great because he can be anything depending on the story. Some versions of him, he’s a hero/anti-hero, others like Minus One he’s an antagonist. Hope you can check out more in the future. :)
