Anyone else sick of the hate?
>>198568575I can't control my height or the size of my dick but everyone ridicules me about it every day of my life.
>>198568575the only good part of this movie were the french guys
>>198568575if they don't hate you for one thing they'll hate you for another thing. people just sit around finding the first thing they can hate about someone, and then all happily get to hating them, and then when the people who were agreeing with them are gone, the people they were just agreeing with get to hating on the people that left. no matter what you fucking do people who hate all day long (most of them) are going to hate on you so just stop talking about what you hate and if someone starts hating on someone stop talking to them. it's a good filter for if someone is worth talking to or not. i'm sure some of you have been in some discord full of nerdy younger people and they do the same thing where they talk shit about someone who has just left and then repeat the process once the other person leaves.
>>198568575Pretty shitty poster. Is it fan-made?
>>198568575Yeah.I mean sure, if you have the monster verse on one end and the original Godzilla movies on the other end to compare it with, it looks kind of crap. But if you were 10 years old in America in 1998, God damn....those were the good days. All the fast food restaurants had movie crossover stuff and the action figures were sweet. And the year after we had Star Wars episode one hype...If you were there, you know. Golden days, traveler.The animated show was awesome, too.
>>198568709I'm pretty sure it's an official poster (all the art in it is official) though I don't think it's a theatrical poster. I just like how big the "size does matter" text is.
>>198568575I enjoyed the sequel cartoon immensely. I also really appreciated the fact that they got a bunch of the movie people to come back and reprise their roles.
>>198568715>if you have the monster verse on one end and the original Godzilla movies on the other end to compare it with, it looks kind of crapYou mean it looks like pure certified KINO. Seriously, is there anything in the movies before or after that looks as good as pic related? And plot wise, it's up there with best, going for the "hard science fiction" take on Godzilla like 1954, or vs. Biollante.
>>198568859the writing is too hollywoodfilled with asinine crapit's not hard science fiction at all lmfaostupid-assfucking safe-contrarian faggot
>>198568859Forgot pic
>>198568897>it's not hard science fiction at all lmfaoThe presentation of Godzilla is based on various behaviors observed in real animals, and the film has a realistic presentation of nuclear testings, and military weaponry. There's nothing like laser canons or BS about magical McGuffins that bend physics or science to be whatever the fuck the writer says they are.
>>198568786Kinda sad that Hank Azaria didn't since he actually was a VA and was one of the best parts of the movie.

>>198568575I like it, the Godzilla looks very cool and the minizillas were cute, CUTE!
>Anyone else sick of the hate?Yes, but for '14. It's the greatest Kaiju movie ever made by amerilards yet they rejected it in favor of a monkey doing wrestling moves and having tooth pain.

We got this because of it.So yeah, I’m thinking it’s pretty great
>>198568575>is it an accurate godzilla adaptation that met fan's expectationsNo>is it a fun giant monster movie that's worth watching for fans of the genreYes
>>198569305Godzilla '98 > Godzilla '14
Problem is the name. Should have called it zilla jr or something
>>198569371Monsters always looked too weightless in this movie.
>>198569425>is it an accurate godzilla adaptation that met fan's expectationsIt actually is pretty accurate to the 1954 original, and fan's expectations at the time were inaccurate to what the series is supposed to be; the fan base were cable couch potatoes who only saw the films as cheesy monster movies with bad dubs. They didn't want something that was realistic or meant to be taken seriously, they wanted more of self-parody which would've actually been an insult to the Japanese original.
>>198569966I feel like the only thing that they needed to do to change him up for the better while keeping most other things the same, would be if they had kept some form of radioactive breath, and made him just slightly smart enough to be openly malicious and spiteful, as well as made the method of killing him more extravagant.
>>198568575>Anyone else sick of the hate?No.
>>19856989214 is peak weight, unlike that new shit.
>>198569995>cumming but she still sucking
>>198569570this 1 minute clip is better than all of '98https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k99jjRk0oxo
>>198570024>made him just slightly smart enough to be openly malicious and spitefulHe definitely is that in the finished film. At the end of the film he ruthlessly pursues Nick and co. out of revenge for his young. Nick even says "he looks angry" which is not a natural response from reptiles in regards to their young. This is also reinforced by the animated series where Nick observes Godzilla is more intelligent and emotional than reptiles, and is even capable of emotional loyalty like a dog.
Why the shit didn't they choose Stan Winston's Godzilla design?
>>198568715>Ep 1 hypeI still have a cup topper of sebulba (but no cup because at the time I took it out of a dumpster full of them and it just had the topper)
>>198569966hilarious that you're still running with this cope after I btfo'd you for all timeget so fucking shit on loser
>The 1998 Godzilla was fairly well put together and a fun film, but I can understand the people who also say this isn't Godzilla. I think as a Kaiju-horror type of film, it is quite well executed. And to their credit, I think it was the first time Godzilla was rendered in a digital context and methodology, so that was a huge achievement for its time.
>>198570188I guess so, though I mean more overall, like not just as a response to nuking the kids. I guess, more callous intelligence, with a clear sign that he knows people are there but doesn't care because they are not important, instead of leaning more animalistic.
>>198570079>Frog poster posts dumb opinion that disproves itself with its own evidence
>>198570213I like the Stan Winston design, but I prefer Godzilla 1998 because it actually is a daring and more realistic looking take on the character, and is something new for the series. Same reasons why I love the Shin Godzilla design.
>>198570303no one likes shitty Queenzilla who gets BTFO by a few rockets from the US military
>>198569425>>is it an accurate godzilla adaptation that met fan's expectationsIt's Godzilla. Fuck you very much.
>>198570288>but doesn't care because they are not important, instead of leaning more animalistic.You say that like that's not what the original was. It's clearly stated that Godzilla in '54 is a speculated Jurassic marine reptile that was in an evolutionary phase to terrestrial. The darker tone definitely was a response from the filmmakers to nuclear devastation, but it was also very indicative of how horror was portrayed in film at the time, heavy and mellow dramatic.
>mellow dramatic
>>198570391>NobodyActually I've heard the film is very well regarded by Eastern Europeans.
>>198570406Based.
>>198568661Jean Reno is always based.
>>198568575outside of nostalgia goggles and a couple of good things (zilla's first arrival in new york and jean reno's character) it's still shit. zilla in name only, uninteresting characters, dated cgi, no other monster to fight, baby zillas, etc.
>>198571559>baby zillasI mean, Minya was a pretty well known thing at that point. And the sequence was way more original than some people make it out to be when they compare it to Jurassic Park.
I watched it again recently and it was fine.Except that stiff, shaky walk he does and Audrey's betrayal.
>>198570281Hilarious you think the script that is closer Gamera guardian of the universe is somehow more accurate to the series than 1998
>>198569966>It actually is pretty accurate to the 1954 originalIt takes elements from 1954 but I wouldn't call it "pretty accurate." It's a loose adaptation of 1954.
>>198568575Much like Final Fantasy Spirits Within, it's a good movie but the title gives false expectations.
>>198568715I was 6 at the time so I couldn't really "appreciate" the movie then but it did feel larger than life like most movies watched at that age, now star wars episode 1, THAT was a kino moviegoing experience and so was everything surrounding it, fuck disney for taking Lucas soul away from us
>>198570213This would have been trash. 1998 is actually about more than just the giant monster, which is what any good Godzilla movie should be.
>>198568859It's unironically better than GvK
>>198572716I guess it depends on how you interpret the original >>198570495
>>198572680Why are Americans so scared of doing a faithful remake where Godzilla is scary like Jason Voorhees?
>>198568575I was 10 when this movie came out.Saw it in theaters and it was boring schlock garbage. terrible dialogue. terrible everything I dont know how people can defend this. If you like it fine but dont say its a good movie. its not.
>>198572793I agree that '98 is basically 1954 as a fun 90s blockbuster instead of a gloomy 50s monster movie. But that's also quite a big difference.Now that time has passed it's interesting to look at '98 as part of the wider Godzilla franchise and its history of reboots.
>>198572867>Now that time has passed it's interesting to look at '98 as part of the wider Godzilla franchise and its history of reboots.Definitely agree there. I think you'd have to be pretty disingenuous to say it's real a Godzilla movie as Shin Godzilla or Godzilla Planet trilogy.
>>198572745I definitely agree with you on Episode 1, also fuck youtube autists for trying to rewrite history.
The problem with Godzilla 1998 is that they made him a dinosaur. It was a dinosaur movie. Not a movie about an unstoppable force of nature.
>>198568575Hollywood wants a cut of merch sales. Toho said no. So they dropped the Stan Winston Godzilla design and turned him into an iguana trying to bypass legalities just because Zilla is posed like a T-Rex.

>>198574751>The problem with Godzilla 1998 is that they made him a dinosaurThat's what he was in the original, it's not even directly stated the radiation mutated him, implying his strength as a dinosaur is what made him survived, and that's why we need to study it rather than kill it.
>>198575156The Richard Raynis cartoons never skipped on quality
>>198576434For me, it's Jeff Kline.
>>198568575It's kino and was always kino.
>>198570284He's absolutely correct in every way here. It's a good solid kaiju movie that did a cool thing by having the kaiju lay eggs that themselves became a general threat.The cast and banter was also fun as fuck, and was selected with fun in mind.
>>198576467For me, it's Zone-sama

>>198568575I still love the atmosphere of a rainy city to this day because of this movie. Saw it as a little kid, and the weather was such a mood. Love overcast, rainy days.
>>198576467I saw 3/4 of these and they were all kino.
>>198577419Men in Black has a greatest of all time opening
>>198577513>Saw it as a little kid, and the weather was such a mood. Love overcast, rainy days.Glad to see I'm not the only one. I love the summer, but nothing quite like a rainy day for comfy mood.
>>198569372I love how they just completely jettisoned the "realism" or whatever that the movie was apparently going for.>yeah, lets just have Godzilla fight a giant shrew that merged with a tornado or an electric tulpa thing accidentally conjured by a sleep experiment or a slug creature that can multiply when sliced in half and turn people into silver statues>also aliens and time travel and giant robots
>>198568575>Size matters>Make 'Zilla much smaller than Godzilla
>>198578049Actually the reason the series worked was because they kept the realism. HEAT actually find scientific evidence based on actual phenomena to further the plot, and draw realistic conclusions based on it. It's honestly shocking how much it BTFO's most science fiction series in that regard, for either kids or adults.

>>198578206>Maïwenn, Luc Besson's sixteen year old wife at the time of filming, says the film was inspired by their relationship. She says "When Luc Besson did Léon, the story of a 13-year-old girl in love with an older man, it was very inspired by us"; Besson met Maïwenn when she was 12 and he was 29, and he officially started dating her when she was 15, the legal age of consent in that country.
