I've not seen that many Godzilla films but the latest 2016 one I honestly enjoyed a lot. What are other good Godzilla films that are similar? I liked how Godzilla in the 2016 one was actually pretty fucking creepy and sinister looking, what other Godzilla movies are there where Godzilla's like this?

Not as huge of a fan of the movie as other people are, but I think you would really love GMK.

They all have aged poorly. Just enjoy Shin, buy it on blue ray. Hopefully they make another.

The first one

If you enjoy Shin because it is a different, unique take on the character that sets out to accomplish its own artistic goals rather than simply pay homage and rehash the previous entries, I really cannot recommend Godzilla vs. Hedorah enough. Many think it is a stupid, childish film but I consider it a subversive unsung masterpiece.

Spoilers, kind of. The film is presented as a simple childrens movie about fighting pollution, and uses the most silly and foolish version of Godzilla possible. This is all a part of its true message. Godzilla is first introduced in a child's dream sequence. From there, he continuously gets his shit kicked in by Hedorah. The film contains graphic violence and gruesome mass death scenes, as well as all sorts of freaky and disgusting psychotropic shit. Hedorah is untouchable at first. Only toward the end, when Godzilla becomes even more ridiculous as the kid cheers him on and he does some of the dumbest shit imaginable can he defeat Hedorah. He then disappears in a similar fashion to the dream sequence intro. I think this is saying that saving the earth, "fighting" pollution, undoing the damage already done is impossible, and wishing for it is akin to a child's daydream. The film masquerades as a hopeful and innocent childrens "message movie" but is in fact a dark, somber, and relentless destruction of childhood dreams and modern hippy dippy philosophy. It's a bad Godzilla film in the sense that it turns Godzilla into a joke, but it is a great FILM in that it uses our preconceived notions of the character and twists that to create a truly unique and disquieting work of abstract art

Some of my favourites:

Godzilla (1954)
The Return of Godzilla (1984)
Godzilla vs. Biollante (1989)
Godzilla Vs. King Ghidorah (1991)
Godzilla vs. Destoroyah (1995)
Godzilla GMK (2001)
Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla (2002)
Godzilla: Tokyo S.O.S. (2003)

Anno said he hated working with Toho and that he's never doing it again.

>YOUSSA SAYING MEESA KINO?

Good list, mang.

Original - 1984 - Shin are the three most thematically linked movies

source?

Really the only two where he's creepy or sinister are the original, and Godzilla '85. The rest he's more of an antihero, and some he's the good guy.

My personal list would go something like this:

Gojira
Godzilla, King of the Monsters(Raymund Burr's scenes were done very well)
Godzilla vs. Mothra
Invasion of Astro Monster
Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla
Terror of Mechagodzilla
Godzilla 1985
Godzilla vs Biollante
Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah

He said the opposite you fucking liar, he said Shin Godzilla was a great experience that energized him for working on the final Rebuild movie.

tfw can't find any rips

There's one out there, but it has like 20 min chopped out for whatever reason.

>at the end of that scene it's completely silent except for the burning wreckage
>when you realize Godzilla only uses fire breath to defend himself the entire movie
>the super x was the real villain the whole time

cgi has come a long way

>Obligatory Goji viewing guide linked below.
What other Anons have said is true. 1954, 1984, and 2016 Gojis are set apart thematically from the rest.

I'll throw in, if you wind up watching some of the recommended Shojo or Heisei titles and like them, give the American 2014 title a go too. It's a bit slow for most's liking, and it has superfluous character scenes to blame, but it's still damn good for the source material.

>Shojo
I'll be killing myself for that slip.

I beg you kind anons to take pity on this poor faggot and give me a link to a torrent that isn't missing 20 minutes

Good post desu I wish more tv posted like this

thank you user you've convinced me to watch this.

that plus there's this
youtube.com/watch?v=DvDq2-TakQ8

that torrent won't exist until toho officially release the movie

i'd watch a godzilla shoujo tbqh

>this list

Except job, m8.

getmovies.to/watch/shin-godzilla.4qz7o/jplnr4 has the 20 mins cut out, sorry. still in pretty good quality, watched it twice, only seen the 2014 movie and another but I really liked this one.

What's actually cut out of the movie? I've seen the horrible camrip of the full movie and I've seen the new leak of the retail subs, but I can't put my finger on what's gone.

The names and titles, the cold noodles, the french super computers, the president molesting the japanese american ambassador, telephone tag, panaromic shots. Its small details, it just adds up

the super computers are sort of in, but there's an awkward cut, which is one of the few cuts (maybe the only) beyond act 1.

They do a great job. Its probably leaked by toho. Its just good enough and makes me WANT to buy the bluray.

same, i even sort of like the alternate super fast paced introduction to events, hope they have two cuts in the bluray, the fast cut should be tidied up a bit though.

Im sure that the disc release will have more content than the theatrical

Ahahahaha they spliced in a scene with 3 American officials regretting how little time they gave Japan to run before the bombing. Like, it's in the middle of the scene where they're advising the new PM. God bless America.

>yfw this scene

do you mean they moved the scene around?

The last ~30 minutes of 2014 are fucking golden. If it didn't have 1:30 preceding it it would have gone over a lot better with more people.

Basically the good parts are really good. Shame about the rest.

I'm still convinced all a fan edit would need to "fix" most of it is just take the wife and child scenes out entirely. Leave the schoolbus in for its Godzilla runtime but scratch everything else. It barely damages the soldier's plot line since he works just fine as a bomb specialist and all Godzilla movies have pov chars like that.

...

1) Gojira (1954)
2) Shin Godzilla
3) Mothra vs Godzilla
4) Ghidorah
5) Monster Zero
6) GMK
7) Godzilla vs Hedorah
8) Godzilla vs Biollante
9) Godzilla 2000 (American Edit)
10) Godzilla Tokyo SOS

This list is really solid and I've seen all the godzilla movies at least once (most a lot more than once)

>They all have aged poorly.
That is unquestionably a lie

Would anyone like to see Makoto Shinkai direct a Godzilla film?

Overrated garbage for double digit IQ subhumans.
