What Godzilla movies do you actually like?

[JVM]

All and none, simply put.

I like the overall universe more than I really like any of the actual films at this point.

[matrix]

I dont have alot, but I love Terror of Mechagodzilla and Final Wars.

[GodzillaDude]

I like them all in some way (s) but my Top 5 favorites in order are...
1. Godzilla 2000 (Favorite Godzilla suit, Regenerator G1 story was really interesting with learning that Godzilla is virtually immortal, likeable characters, GREAT score/good score placement, Orga had a good design, final battle is exciting, ending is well done, also the first Godzilla/kaiju film in general I ever seen so some extra attachment to it because of that)
2. Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah (Good story, characters, favorite Godzilla suit, really enjoyed the backstory with the soldiers and war, the Godzilla & King Ghidorah fight is well paced, the Godzilla & Mecha-King Ghidorah fight is very entertaining, overall good special effects, particularly liked the big city Tokyo set)
3. Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla II (Good story, likeable characters, good Godzilla suit, all battles are good, Rodan)
4. Godzilla vs. Biollante (I was actually intrigued by some of the characters and the story as well, gotta love Miki, Godzilla suit looked pretty good, Biollante is the most uniquely designed and executed kaiju in any of the eras, Biollante looked great on film, solid effects in general, enjoyed Godzilla's escape from the volcano, the final battle is incredible...just a bit shorter than expected, enjoyed the concept & execution of the Anti-Nuclear Bacteria, ending was satisfying, "Godzilla and Biollante aren't monsters. It's the unscrupulous scientists who create them that are monsters.")
5. Godzilla Final Wars (Action-packed, likeable characters, both the monster and human scenes I enjoyed, unfitting score but at the same time it made the scenes feel more epic, the lighting in the final battles after Monster X's meteor hits makes it feel very post apocalyptic, battles are too short excluding Keizer battle, Godzilla suit isn't the best or the worst)

Honorable Mentions- Godzilla vs. Megaguirus, Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla, Gojira, Son of Godzilla

[antovald20]

Godzilla vs Biollante for me. I just can't get enough of that movie.

4.How hard the military is fighting him, i mean they are really trying
5.Super X2

[ZillaMaster91]

I don't really hate or despise any of the Godzilla films (not even GINO).

My favorite Godzilla films of the Showa era are King Kong vs. Godzilla, Invasion of the Astro Monster, and Destroy All Monsters.

Of the Heisei series, I like Godzilla vs. Biollante, Godzilla vs. MechaGodzilla, and Godzilla vs. Destoroyah

An out of the Millennium series, GMK, Godzilla x MechaGodzilla, and Tokyo SOS.

[VamprisArachne]

Well I'd say my Top 10 would be:

10: Godzilla vs. Gigan
9: Godzilla vs. Hedorah
8: Godzilla 2000
7: Return of Godzilla
6: Son of Godzilla
5: Mothra vs. Godzilla
4: Ghidorah, the Three Headed Monster
3: Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla
2: Gojira
1: Godzilla vs. Biollante

[L Lawliet]

All of them except Godzilla's Revenge (Yes even the 1998 one)

[kaiju115]

I love em all including Final Wars (the 1998 american version doesn't count), but if I was to pick one as my personal favorite aside from the original 1954 masterpiece, I would have to go with Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla 2, the action, the effects, Godzilla using the Spiral Fire Ray for the 1st time just gives me chills. Now for the ones that I don't think were all that great, I would go with Godzilla's Revenge, & Godzilla vs Megaguirus.

[GodzillaDude]

Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla has recently gone up to #2 on my list after rewatching it. Mainly due to the character of Akane who I thought was a very interesting and somewhat deep character. Her character should have been further explored in Tokyo S.O.S. instead of the smaller brief role she got.

I don't have any Showa films on my Top 5 because I know I will and I have already gotten some heat for this... but I really don't care for the Showa films to much mainly due to the constant campy feel in a lot of the films the only two films I actually think are more than just bad or okay in the Showa era are Gojira and Son of Godzilla everything else I wouldn't really care to much if I didn't see any of them again.

[Rody]

You think MOTHRA VS. GODZILLA is campy and bad?!?!?

[Legion1979]

You think MOTHRA VS. GODZILLA is campy and bad?!?!?

Apparently, along with a whole bunch of other Showa films which certainly aren't campy and bad.

Yet his favorite era is Millennium which includes two gems like Megaguirus and Final Wars, which definitely aren't have their fair share of ridiculous crap.

[Jomei]

The Millennium series (except Final Wars) has really grown on me, but there's no topping the Showa series.

[Legion1979]

No, definitely not.

[GodzillaDude]

Megaguirus and Final Wars had campy aspects in them but it wasn't bluntly obvious and consistent with it throughout them.

[Legion1979]

Megaguirus and Final Wars had campy aspects in them but it wasn't bluntly obvious and consistent with it throughout them.

No definitely not. Godzilla: Final Wars' campy aspects aren't nearly as obvious as the ones in Mothra vs Godzilla or Destroy all Monsters!

[TokyoVigilante]

Megaguirus and Final Wars had campy aspects in them but it wasn't bluntly obvious and consistent with it throughout them.

The entire point of Final Wars was as a misguided attempt to legitimatize the cheesy and "bad" aesthetic that the public perceives the entire franchise and genre of having. It doesn't just have "campy aspects", it is entirely trying to be Camp on every level. It absolutely is not the straight-faced military dramatics that mark Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla and Tokyo SOS and Heisei films.

Okay maybe it had a good amount of campiness, but for some reason they didn't bother me as much as in other films.

[Goji]

Basically all of FINAL WARS is campy as skreeonk, you do realize this, right? MEGAGUIRUS was the goofiest Godzilla film since MEGALON.

I don't know any of the Showa Godzilla films that are "consistently campy throughout" other than MEGALON.

The thing I find most funny out of people who "don't care" for the Showa series, is that almost all of them generalize them in ways that simply aren't true.

"They r all so campy guise they just arent dark and serious like the heisei filsms."

I've noticed that too. It's really bizarre.
