I disagree with your feelings on Godzilla 2014 because of the many reasons others have articulated since the criticisms came out.

Bad news: this looks like Godzilla 2014.

Apart from the original? Ghidorah the 3 Headed Monster, Godzilla vs. Mothra, Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah, Godzilla vs. Biollante

I will grant you Ghidorah, Mothra and Biolante. Biolante's story is especially cool, Mothra's is probably the most unique.

You'd think after the billionth time a Godzilla movie is the subject of a "too much talking not enough stompy monsters" hot take, someone might realize that the monsters are traditionally there in a Godzilla movie to facilitate the characters, not the other way around

Right?

Who the gently caress watches Godzilla movies for anything other than Godzilla and the other monsters? All the other poo poo is filler because the budget couldn't handle 90 minutes of painstakingly-built miniatures getting destroyed by men wrestling in latex.

If that's the case, you can just watch clips online.

Maybe I'm kinda late in noticing this, but I found a bunch of old concept art images online of the 1998 Godzilla. What's the deal with humanoid Godzilla? It looks like maybe originally the idea was taking advantage of CGI Godzilla more agile and flexible instead of being a stiff-moving suit, rather than being more like a t-rex. The design is really similar to the finished movie, but the way it carries itself is totally different. Did anyone behind the scenes on the movie ever talk about the change?






I kinda like it, it's got a xenomorph or pumpkinhead vibe to it.

Humanoid Godzilla would have been way better than what we got.

The biggest problem today with high resolution transfers is actually when they eliminate texture, tone, and detail for the sake of an arbitrary standard of "clarity" or "smoothness" or "immersion."

Shin Gojira is dope. It's a black comedy of the most audacious kind. Like the '54 film married to that Arabian Nights trilogy from last year.

It's really, REALLY funny. G14 only has a handful of morbid jokes, overall it's much more awestruck and mournful. But this was just plain quirky.

Criterion really needs to get on some Eclipse sets that do for Toho/Honda what #37 did for Shochiku.

What they need to do is clean up and re-release Half Human, which is really good, at least the cut I've seen.

Juliette Binoche was pretty wasted in Godzilla 2014 I'd say.

That was a really deep pull for someone that's in the movie for like 90 seconds. It's like Julie Delpy in Avengers 2. Did she have cut scenes or something?

The monsters are not shoehorned in, the movie is about monsters/is called monsters. But if the film hypothetically didn't feature any monsters, it would still be really good.
