Five Godzilla Movies You Need to Watch
Five Godzilla Movies You Need to Watch
We're celebrating Godzilla's Oscar-winning film, Godzilla Minus One with these top-rated Godzilla movies you can't miss.
Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaDirector Hideaki Anno told the actors to speak faster than usual so that they would resemble actual politicians and bureaucrats, citing The Social Network (2010) as a reference and warning he would cut the take if they spoke too slowly.
- GoofsThe drug that the government uses to kill Godzilla is described as something that will "disable his internal cooling system". After the drug is used at the end, Godzilla freezes. If the drug was supposed to disable his internal cooling system, it would have overheated him, not frozen him. But it's a bit more complex than that... In fact, in the movie the drug actually does manage to disable Godzilla's cooling system, but in stead of overheating him this triggers a SCRAM-shutdown (=Safety Control Rods Activation Mechanism) as a kind of involuntarily overreaction-thus freezing him in the procedure. By freezing himself temporarily, Godzilla is able to survive this potentially critical trauma.
- Quotes
Hiromi Ogashira, Deputy Director of Nature Conservation Bureau: Man is more frightening than Gojira.
- Crazy creditsThe Toho logo appears as the 1950s color version to homage Godzilla (1954)'s era.
Godzilla's stomping and roar is heard, which also happened in Godzilla (1954).
Featured review
Great movie although a bit slow
This movie, hands down, is one of the best representations of Godzilla. I recommend you watch in sub for the best experience because the audio mixing isn't the greatest for the English dub, and trust me, it's noticeable. Suck it up if you don't like to read. I mean, you're reading now, aren't you? Godzilla ultimately steals the show, and you'd hope so from a Godzilla movie. The visuals at times can be shoddy, but in the scenes where the lighting is just right, it's a glorious moment to behold truly horrifying visuals (in a good way). The plot, however, is where it kind of suffers the most for me.
