To me this is the second best Godzilla movie ever made behind the second one. The compositions are painterly Lighting has great contrast. Plot is compelling characters are strong. V.F.X although dated are pretty great
@@reverseangle Understood. I just figured that since you'd done 1954 and 1984, Shin would be the next best choice to compare them to, since it's the only other film to feature only Godzilla as the villain, and not a direct sequel.
Ripping off Hollywood blockbusters, only with laughably bad style and production value might be one of the trademarks of the Heisei era Godzilla films? Along with hiring random non-actors for any English speaking roles. A scientist reading children's books to address a national emergency is arguably better than Godzilla vs. Destoroyah, where a spotty highschooler is the nation's leading Godzilla expert in his spare time? Despite the film establishing that G-Force/United Nations Godzilla Countermeasures Center is a thing, and Godzilla is a well known, longstanding threat. This very Japanese trope really shits me. Looking forward to the Shin Gojira review in 2033 😉
Outstanding conversation and analysis! Excellent observations! Well done!
Thanks. Expect more Godzilla to come.

I could see that, although I assume you mean the second best Godzilla movie behind the first one.
Great review and discussion guys!!
Seriously though...wtf kind of reptile is that skeleton on the shelf?
It looks like an oddly proportioned tyrannosaur.
Good job guys!
Would love to see you guys discuss Shin Godzilla in the future!
For now the plan is to go in order. I'm sure we will cover it eventually.

Makes sense. We did *The Return of Godzilla* as sort of a counterpoint to doing *Godzilla (1998),* then decided to just start at the beginning.
Another great video,thanks both ! Will you do Shin Godzilla in the future ?
Hopefully we will get back to Godzilla before too long.
I think Minus One is going to be a lot like this. Very serious and somber.
