Before the Monsterverse I saw the 1998 one in theater. It... wasn't the best "first time seeing Godzilla on the big screen" experience.
I grew up with Showa so '84 one (or '85 to be precise because that's the first version I saw) will probably always be my on my list of scary Godzillas, despite his goofy appearance. Mostly because of that horror opening on the boat with corpses and the sea louse.
Ya '85 is where I came in at the tender age of 4, the other kids in grade school always thought I was a bit weird for liking Godzilla. Never in my life would I have ever thought that a Godzilla movie would be getting the positive reaction that Minus One is getting now. I'm glad that we have so much content out right now, it's a bit of a bright spot in this clown world that is entertainment right now. Looks like Minus One had a US opening of 11 million this weekend and worldwide 34 million hopefully it rakes in a few more by word of mouth and the positive reviews so Toho takes a nice little money bag from it.
...I LIKE WHERE THIS IS HEADING! Could use some Jet Jaguar.
It looked like two tag team wrestlers running towards the ring.
They make enough money that WB keeps making more, so I can't get too retarded over how retarded they are. Retarded American budget Godzilla smashing stuff forever
It's almost like you need a team who loves the art of film and loves the characters in said film you're producing.
US film production is a complex money laundering scheme designed to siphon money from state governments, rake in subsidies, and fund self-serving unions. They are expensive by design. Meanwhile things that could be done cheaply on sets and with practical effects are done digitally instead, despite huge added costs, because it's much easier for Hollywood hacks to tell a bunch of Indians in a basement somewhere exactly what to animate than it is to actually go out in the cold, deal with weather, wrangle retarded union workers and deal with their retarded union rules, and make a real movie (like they used to do).
I wish I could remember who and where I heard it but some time in like the last 3 months I saw something with an actual Hollywood director or producer or something and someone asked them about insane budgets for movies and they straight up told whoever they were talking to it was essentially money laundering. they also gave some specific example of some movie that cost a shitload and were like where do you think that money went because you can tell looking at it that it sure as hell didn't make it into the movie. I wish I could remember if it was a podcast or an interview or what the fuck it was but I remember it because I was shocked the quiet part was just said out loud so frankly.
This is great news. We won Godzillabros
Awesome, I won't be able to see it until around the 12th in theater, hope it makes it at least that long.
Godzilla became death, destroyer of worlds
Minus One sequel Oppenheimer and Serizawa team up to kill regenerated Godzilla who is 1984 size now
