[i][/iGodzilla Raids Again] has, at the very least, the most boring scene in any Godzilla movie, that one near the beginning where a bunch of people watch clips from the first film in a board room in total silence. It's not enough to have to watch stock footage, it has to be watched with all sound effects and music ripped out.

I have never seen Godzilla vs. Space Godzilla but I love the idea of someone coming up with the title and concept after a night of heavy drinking “Ughhhhhhh the new Godzilla is due tomorrow what should we do?” “Uh... Space Godzilla?” “Sure whatever we need to start filming in 10 minutes let’s go”

He looks like a weird bipedal red and gray triceratops with huge shoulder spikes. I'm positive Super Godzilla for the SNES was intended to tie into this version of the movie, as Bagan's only true appearance is as the last boss of that game. (Also you go through the rest of the heisei monsters up to that point as well, but oddly the people porting it to the US switched out Super Mechagodzilla for the Showa version. It's weird.)

Look I don’t really give a tinker’s drat about GRA, I’m more just sick of people bagging on Revenge despite its easily being a giant monster version of the wizard of oz. Also, Gabara is such a dick

I can see why Godzilla's Revenge gets called the worst by fans, but yeah, it's got some interesting stuff going on alongside the clip show. GRA almost works, you know? Like the angle of it all being from a working class perspective with a bunch of people whose lives are dependent on the fishery is a good one, but the cheapness and some pacing problems hinder it (the plot with the escaped criminals takes way too long.)

I didn't really care for Godzilla Raids Again. I've liked all of the Heisei era so far but I'm currently stuck on vs. Spacegodzilla. I've fallen asleep to it four times now and it's really hurting my pace for the October movie challenge.

I liked Hesei Mothra and Mechagodzilla more than GvKG. Biollante has been the best so far tho, I will agree with that.

I admire Biollante's ambition, but the execution is just dreadful. Plus, I was never really a fan of the whole "souls are real and you can psychically communicate with them" thing that was introduced out of the blue, and which sets up the tedious running Miki Saegusa plotline.

I like Space Godzilla's aesthetic (the movie, not just the monster- has a nice purple/blue palette going on) and some of the characters are good, notably Chinatsu Gondo. Honestly prefer it to Godzilla and Mothra: The Battle For Earth which gets bogged down by the faux Indiana Jones stuff. Godzilla x Megaguirus is blander, and suffers from the male lead creeping on the female lead, what with the whole weird CG anime AI he creates.

The only thing that the non-Space Godzilla reliably have going for them are amazing scores, and Space Godzilla doesn't even have that. That composer has now worked on a total of four Godzilla films and I can only remember at most two of his compositions that rise above being "meh."

Assuming they're going with Ghidorah somehow communicating with ecoterrorist lady in King of the Monsters, I wonder how they're gonna play that.

My money is still on Ghidorah talking the ecoterrorist lady into freeing him, convincing her that he'll restore the planet to the way it was meant to be. And then surprise, he's actually an alien here to destroy the planet. Exit ecoterrorist stage left, pursued by Ghidorah.

They're going to use that same weird dubbing effect when Godzilla and Anguirus talked to each other in Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla.
