What Godzilla movies do you actually like?

[Kaiju-King42]

The only Godzilla films I actually dislike are Godzilla's revenge and Rebirth of Mothra 2. (Not a Godzilla film, but close enough.) Even then, I still find them completely watchable if I just skip to the monster parts.

[Destroyer]

Man the dub for ROM II sucked so badly.

I actually liked Battle for Earth, more than Spacegodzilla.

[Cimmerian Dragon]

Oh, if we're expanding beyond Godzilla, then yeah, Rebirth of Mothra II is one of the worst films I've ever owned. This is coming from a die-hard Mothra fanatic, and I'm calling it a lump of shit.

[MothraRocks]

Personally, I like all Godzilla films. Like, yeah, first time I watched some I was kinda doubtful, but after that, I always try to find the good side to them

[Goji]

Well I "like" all of them, for the most part, and I love all of the Showa series with the exception of maybe RAIDS AGAIN and REVENGE (both of which I still like, just not crazy about em'). Other than that..

Return of Godzilla
Godzilla vs. Biollante
Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah
GMK

I honestly could live without the rest.

Just the dub?

[Destroyer]

Well I've never seen the original version of ROM II, but I've heard the original version is also pretty bad.

[Goji]

REBIRTH OF MOTHRA II is terrible dude. Watching it in Japanese won't save it. It's one of Toho's worst SPX films ever, and IMO, the absolute worst.

I personally feel that Mothra 3 isn't much better. Once your fan boner for the new Ghidora goes away you start to realize it's a pretty shitty movie.

[Destroyer]

It has a few merits, Dagahra's design was pretty nice, and the fights weren't too bad, but that's really all the nice things I could say for it.

Man those kids were annoying.

Well ROM III isn't great by any means, but I'd still consider it a solid flick. (When compared to the previous entry.) I still like the concept of Mothra going back in time to stop an early Ghidorah, good stuff right there.

The title of this thread makes it seem as if it would be a surprise to learn that people actually like these movies.

You know that was my first reaction?

Indeed. I mean, I'd imagine that if you didnt 'actually like' the Godzilla films then you probably wouldnt be here, eh?

I like the hell out of Final Wars, myself. I couldnt give a rat's ass LESS about the negative things that many folks say about it, screw that. As a person that saw Destroy All Monsters in the theatre and has been into these films since birth, I can tell you that Toho did a GRAND homage job! Silly at times? Maybe. Cartoonish at times? Sure. But its a FUN ride for a life-long fan, for sure.

Even the meathead Don Frye was doing his thing in this, dressed in his best M. Bison/Steam Punk 'Commander' suit and all, heh.

Eh...no. I don't think it's even close to being a "solid flick". The first film is still better, IMO. I'd rather watch SPACEGODZILLA or FINAL WARS over ROM III, and that's saying a lot.

The concept of Mothra being able to travel back in time is pretty ludicrous to begin with, to be honest.

[Destroyer]

Against Vs. Mothra, Gojira, or GMK, it's pretty much nothing. But up against its other two films, pretty good. It's been a bit since I've seen it, but I think I'd give it give it a 7/10 at most, 6 at the least.

I don't know, the concept is pretty insane, but I thought it was well-done, especially Cretaceous King Ghidorah.

[Megalon-5]

I think other than the pretty cool looking Ghidorah, ROM III is terrible. I think I just about gave up on the film when they had Mothra time travel, I can buy a lot of BS science in Toho's monster films, but Mothra time traveling has to be the stupidest dues ex machinas in a monster film. I think a Mothra centered trilogy could've been a good film series, but all three suffer from sup-par SPFX, plotlines so childish that they make the Showa Gameras look like Shakespeare, generic and unlikable opponents and giving pointless and weird powers and forms to Mothra Leo making him a wet dream to people who obsess over monster strength.

They're all just really bad imo.

[Destroyer]

I thought the first one was pretty good. A bit more violent than I thought it'd be, some really emotional scenes, but not great by any means.

[Gawdziller]

I just watched Mothra 3 two days ago in a bundle of other flicks I didn't own. It's conceptually stupid, but at its heart I find it less obnoxious than the other two. I had fun watching it, which is more than I can say for the second one, and probably half of the first one.

I have less of an issue with Mothra going back in time itself than I did with her actual plan. She intended to kill Ghidorah before the extintion of the dinosaurs? Really? The alteration of history that would be implied by this is insane considering Ghidorah was supposedly the one to bring their extinction.

And what's up with Belvira? I would have thought Ghidorah's attack would have been in tune with her beliefs, yet she's against him? Is this the same Belvira who unleashed Desghidorah to turn the Earth into a barren wasteland? Or was she just PMSing that day?

Between childhood bias and having no taste whatsoever, I enjoy all of them in varying degrees.

[GodzillavsJason]

I like the majority of the Godzilla film except for Godzilla 2000, Godzilla vs Mothra: The Battle for Earth, and Godzilla's revenge. I find Godzilla vs King Ghidorah to be overated. My top ten favorites would be

1. Godzilla vs Gigan
2. Gojira
3. Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla 2
4. Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla
5. Destroy all Monsters
6. Godzilla vs Destroyah
7. Godzilla Final Wars (Let the flame war begin and plus its really the only one i liked in the Millennium series.)
8. Terror of Mechagodzilla
9. Invasion of the Astro Monster
10. Ghidorah the Three Headed Monster

Honrable Mentions: Godzilla vs SpaceGodzilla, Godzilla Raids Again, and Godzilla vs Hedorah.

Note: It's been forever since i've watched Godzilla 1985 and Godzilla vs Biollante
