FIRST TIME WATCHING *Godzilla* 

KONG: SKULL ISLAND now on Patreon for early access!! www.patreon.com/SebScreen What was the best moment of GODZILLA?!

FUN FACT: the reason elizabeth olsen and aaron taylor johnson were even cast in age of ultron is because of their performance in this movie

The best thing about the Monsterverse are the sound effects like Godzilla charging his atomic breath that was insanely good

“I didn’t know Godzilla could do that!” A part of me dies whenever I hear a reactor say that…. The radioactive breath is nearly as iconic as his dorsal spines.

11:10 You summed this up perfectly. I see at the end you wonder why this movie is rated so low and the reason is because the fans didn’t like Godzilla’s screen time and thought there was too much human involvement. However, I agree with you, the suspense and mystery surrounding Godzilla in this film is perfect and it enhances the climax. And in my opinion the human drama was enough to keep me entertained when the kaiju weren’t on screen. Along with several other reasons including the sound design I thought this movie was a fantastic introduction for Legendary’s version of Godzilla. Might have to move to Patreon for these ones because they’re my favourite, great reaction!

23:23 the realization of what’s about to happen right before it happens is what makes that scene one of if not the best scene in the entire monsterverse

This is the first film I ever saw Elizabeth Olsen in (at least that I can remember). It also stands out because Aaron Taylor Johnson is also in it, and they both ended up being in Marvel.

Regarding 22:00... yeah, I've got a story for that I saw this movie in the cinema in 2014, after being a fan of Godzilla for about 5 or 6 years. I loved the old Japanese movies, and was anxious but excited for a modern, American take on the character. Godzilla's 'atomic breath' is easily one of his biggest trademarks, and I was worried that I'd gotten about three quarters into the movie by now without seeing it... and then that scene happened. And I, as a grown-ass man of 20 years, threw my arms in the air and yelled 'YES!!!', because every single worry I'd had was obliterated in that moment. Trust me, the goosebumps are shared.

This is the best of the Monsterverse films. I appreciate you understanding the value in “less is more” regarding showing the creatures. Some people complained because it wasn’t mindless monster fights for two hours straight.

This movie is awesome!! The suspense is unreal, and honestly the hate it got was so undeserved

The sound design for when Godzilla charges up his atomic breath is just spine-tingling, and it's just perfect timing how there's a moment of silence that has us on the edge of our seats, then BAM! Masterful scene.

The thing I like most about this movie was the way they handled the MUTOs. They weren't evil beings bent on destroying humanity, they were just animals following their natural life cycles, and it was just bad luck that humanity was in the way. The way they reacted to their nest being destroyed made feel genuinely bad for them.

"What is that?!" THAT is Godzilla's ATOMIC BREATH, my guy. Fucking LOVE this film, perfect Godzilla movie. He's not here to save us. He doesn't give a shit about us. He just needs to ensure no other monster challenges his claim to the title of King of the Monsters :D

This movie is incredibly underrated IMO. I get that people wanted to see more Godzilla, but to me the movie was as good as it could be

godzilla's first fire breathing moment is actual gold, sickest moment ever.

I appreciate how much classic godzilla made its way into this version, even the more subtle ways. Godzilla is the Heavyweight champion of Kaiju, but he's only good at 1v1. Anytime he's gone up against more than one monster, its worked out poorly for him, and the exact same is true here. He can easily handle one MUTO, but together he just can't keep up. Its only when they seperate and Godzilla can focus on one, then the other, does he succeed. I don't know if the filmmakers did this on purpose, but its very true to Godzilla's skillset.

I grew up loving Godzilla and the Toho monsters. One day the trailer for this was on tv and it was such a shock to me because it was so unexpected. You best believe my dad and I saw that in IMAX. You know people were OG fans when they started clapping when he roared and shot that first beam out. Such an awesome experience. I’ve been hyped for every Monsterverse movie since.

"My timbers are shivered" another seb classic for the books. But for real his roar is absolutely a one of a kinda goosebump inducing sound

I loved this movie. I was a huge fan of the “less is more” approach. It gave of a more realistic view of the monsters from a human perspective and made me care a lot more about them.

The sound design and Godzilla's design are my fav parts of this movie. This Godzilla is really up there w the best creature designs in fiction.

Arron Taylor Johnson also plays Pietro Maximoff, Wanda’s brother in the MCU

Hands down, the MUTOs in this were some of the best villains I've ever seen. Their design was awesome, their abilities and physiology was amazing, and I actually believe their scientifically plausible.

First person I’ve ever seen to actually appreciate the darkness of the film. Most people complain that the film is too dark and you can barely see sh*t but I personally really love the ambiance of the film, and after having watched the 2 films after this one, coming back to Godzilla 2014 always makes me appreciate the more dark and mysterious atmosphere and makes it probably my favourite film in the series.

"I have to watch a horror." The Ritual. It's a great movie about how people process regret but told through the lens of a monster movie, and holy hell is the monster wicked.

“I need a statue of him”. There’s plenty out there. My office is filled with hundreds of Godzilla figures. I’m a life long Godzilla fan and I’m super excited that you’re getting into the Monsterverse!

if you’re interested, i’d love to see a reaction to shin godzilla, which was the last japanese godzilla film and a reboot, directed by the guy who made evangelion. it’s really really good.

If you're starting the Monsterverse now, be aware of end credit scenes in the following films.

GOJIRA!!! I love me some monster movies. Obsession started when I was 9 and I saw the 1954 Godzilla. I can’t get enough of them. Really enjoyed the newer ones too. So glad you’re going on this journey!

Little fun fact Godzilla has a set of gills on each side of his neck. He only ever flinched or reacted to being shot at when shot there, like in the bridge scene where he got a little upset about it.

This was my very first monsterverse themed film I ever watched as a little kid all the way back in 2015. The nostalgia is striking here for me with those memories man 😢

Kong: Skull Island has a little post credit scene that sets up Godzilla: King of the monsters btw 😁

I saw this in cinemas and oh my god nothing has sounded as good as this movie.

You'll be blown after completing the movies from the Legendary Monsterverse. There's more to come, hang tight.

20:10 This right here is the best shot of the Monterverse. I honestly never gave a damn about the human drama in monster movies, but everything was as realistic as possible, a much more raw approach on such scenario. And THE SOOOOOOOOOOOUND, THE SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUND

DEFINITELY keep going with the rest of the Monsterverse!!

I can't say enough good about the monsterverse, and watching your channel is a pleasure. But HO. Lee. Chit. That Monorail sequence with the MUTO illuminating into the background. I've LITERALLY had nightmares like that. Props to the psychopath who ran that madness into the movie.

If you want to try another modern Godzilla movie that stays closer to the original I recommend Shin Godzilla or maybe even the original Godzilla from 1954. This movie was great but I always feel a little pain in my soul when people only know about these Godzilla movies and not the others.

Every film in the Monsterverse is great, but as far as the technical aspect goes, nothing has Godzilla 2014 beat. Gareth Edwards filmaking was *on another level* with this one. Proud to have this as my first IMAX experience (I was eleven at the time lol) Also fun fact: right now they're filming a Godzilla streaming show set shortly after this movie for Apple Plus. Something to look forward to next year!

I saw this in the theater with my brother during Memorial Day and it was frickin Amazing! It was spectacular! This reminded me a lot of what the 1994 American Godzilla movie was going to be before it was cancelled due to budgetary concerns. Jan De Bont was picked to direct the project. Godzilla was going to be a genetically engineered dinosaur created by an alien race called the Atlanteans that were wiped out by. Cataclysm that no one can explain. Godzilla was made to protect Earth from extraterrestrial threats, in other words, a shape shifter called The Gryphon that takes the form of various animals to be used in combat against Godzilla. The film was later cancelled and would be turned into Roland Emmerich's Godzilla 1998.

It's amazing. I'm so glad you liked it. I guessed a lot of people wanted Godzilla to be in all the scenes, but the mistery and suspense in this movie is amazing. I hope you'll be Team Godzilla ;D

Yes!!! Glad you loved it! I honestly think the Monsterverse just gets better from here! Enjoy the ride!

I think it's rather telling that the government nearly killed all those innocent people on that bridge and Godzilla was the one who protected them. Not only did he protect them from the blast, from getting blown up, but he also held the bridge up so as many cars could get across as possible. Of course they kept shooting at him and all those attacks caused him to fall over & crash into the bridge. So the government/military inadvertently killed a lot of innocent civilians trying to take Godzilla down while he's trying to protect these innocent people. With that said, who is the real monster here???

Loved you reacting to this, the chills were real this whole movie, was getting goose bumps along side you

The sounds the monsters make in these movies are the best part for me, they give me goosebumps

Watching you react to this made me remember how much I enjoyed seeing it opening weekend with my little sister. We were so hype lol great reaction man 💯😎

Finally I really like the monsterverse movies as well as the Godzilla movies in general been a big fan since I was little

The sound design is what makes this movie even better than what it already is for me. The roars and the music are top notch!

I love during the airport scene when the plane is exploding in front of the terminal and the crowd is screaming, how they go silent when Godzilla steps in from the side. It’s so dope

I love these movies! And what you said is so true, they managed to humanize a massive lizard to the point that you care for his wellbeing. I still well up when he falls just before the end! Just wait till the next one!

I knew this day would come

I remember seeing this in the cinema and that first Godzilla roar literally had the place shaking.. there was a collective ‘wow’ straight after. Genuinely goosebumps

Can't wait for you to watch Godzilla King Of The Monsters!

The reaction to this film seems to be *very* dependent on if someone's a fan of the more, umm, familiar-to-geek-culture Godzilla films. In other words, how much do you want to see giant monster fights. If that's what you're after then the constant cutaways are frustrating and the fights you do get annoyingly short so I can understand that POV. However... yeah, as a movie this is almost certainly the high water mark for the current Monsterverse, at least so far. Keeping the action off screen until act three gives everything time to breathe and as a result the big moments have so much more impact. The film treating the big G like a true force of nature doesn't hurt either! Honestly about the only misstep was killing off Brian Cranston so damn early which... I get why but yeah, with how heavily he was promoted in the marketing it definitely takes a while for the film to recover (I'd say all the way to Godzilla coming ashore for the first time TBH).

I always shocked whenever people say they didn't know about Godzilla's atomic breath, since it's consistently been his most iconic power ever since the very first film from 1954.

You know I found this channel on my weekend and I love this channel 😊

Hearing the sound effects and sound design in theater is the best experiance

Love this one! Also doesn’t hurt that Aaron is so good looking- weird to see him kissing his ‘sister’ 😆

Resurrecting Vision didn’t work so Wanda resurrected her brother Pietro and started some incest💀

This is actually my favourite movie and I’ve watched it eight times over because I like it so much also I love the video keep up the great work

Watching a movie with seb is like watching a movie with your friend, it has the same feeling. You walk in the theater, (or click his video) and chillax with your friend/family. I suggest you go get some snacks because it makes it 100x better. have a nice day :)

I like this movie, and actually think it's the best in the Monsterverse. Kong: Skull ISland is also a lot of fun, Godzilla: King of the Monsters has some good stuff, but falls a bit flat for me, while Godzilla vs. Kong is a totally skippable, stupid, boring mess.

female monters is always bigger than male

Been a Godzilla fan since I was a kid. Absolutely love these films

Remember watching Godzilla king of the monsters at school, the monster fights were so cool to see Great vid

This was probably my 2nd favorite godzilla film, I always loved the dark films for godzilla and basically the badass ones, This is perfect for both.

Your responses/reactions are so funny

I’ve been a fan of Godzilla since I was a child, watched the old films, the black and white movies, and played the old ps2 game. When I tell you I was waiting to see the atomic breath and then finally seeing it I got suuuper excited

I watch this trilogy time and time again, they get better as they go so I'm glad your reacting to them.

i've been waiting for this moment for so long

Yes i have been waiting for this!

AYEEEEEEE! long time coming babyyy

LOVED THIS. Had no idea this was coming. These movies are great. Excited for your reaction to King of Monsters. SO FREAKING GOOOOOD!!!

Love these movies!! Super excited to see your reaction to all of them!!

The design and sound design of this film is incredible! You truly can feel that POWER, buuut ppl dont looks like a insects actually. Whole story about Mommy and Daddy scripted so well, i like it

I love the sound design for the mutos, so alien sounding and unique!

also love the scene at the airport when godzilla steps in and everyone goes quiet

Loved your reaction,..just so happy to see new fans of Godzilla, and very happy to see you get the chills, thrills, goosebumps, we got as kids watching those first movies back in the late 1960's, and what's incredible, the movies back then didn't even have the special effects of the new movies now,..but as a kid cheering for this giant creature, mega beast, protecting Earth, his home too, it just made it all the more thrilling, ..when he breathes the fire, you were of course unaware, but for us old fans, it's old hat, the only thing I was waiting for in the new movie was what color was it going to be, in the old movies it was like a white hot beam of energy,..here it has a more bluish hue, and I so love how he charges, up the sound they incorporated for that, more vivid, the sound effects crew, absolutely invaluable,..and the actors, yes,you recognized them, I couldn't believe who was playing Dr. Serisawa, Ken Wantanabe, he was in Memoirs of a Geisha, do check it out, it's good,..and Juliette Binoche, who in recent years is doing more scifi, Ghost In The Shell, know her from an incredible movie, think she, Daniel Day Lewis, and the movie itself were nominated for Oscar, The Unbearable Lightness of Being,.they were critically acclaimed for that movie,.it's quite lovely to see her doing scifi, she's a fantastic actress, loads of French and American, British, movies,..do check them out,..and Cranston, I know everyone knows him from Breaking Bad, but when ever I see him in something, I think,.Malcolm in The Middle,..then there's Richard T Jones from Event Horizon, huh do check that out, another scfi horror,,....and David Russell Strathairn, no stranger to scifi, he's in The Expanse, and Alphas, ..Godspeed, Peace ✌

The sound design of this movies easily stole the stage from the visuals. Watching it in the theatre was just otherworldly. Especially the scene with the railway bridge. You could feel the muto "talking", the tension was so real. Easily one of the best sound designed movies in history.

The skydive scene into the fight is one of the greatest scenes in a movie I have seen

I didn't see it in imax but I did see it on the big screen! It was amazing! Thank you for making this video for us 😁

I’m a huge Godzilla fan, let me tell you, you’re going to love these movies!

I became a Godzilla fan in 2013 and spent the whole year buying the movies and quickly knowing each monster and film. Imagine my reaction when my 11 year old self learned there was gonna be a new Godzilla film the following year IN THEATERS. I remember it like it was yesterday.

I’m so happy that you are watching the Godzilla films

My second favorite movie ever. The sounds are so amazing. The human interaction scenes also keep you intrigued.

fun fact so Aaron and Elizabeth were on set of Godzilla when they were asked if they wanna join the mcu

The Godzilla movies have been around since 1972. I remember watching them since I was 8 yrs old. I have always loved Godzilla!

Honestly the funniest reaction i've seen in years :D

Keep going please, you will love them. I’ve been a fan of Godzilla ever since I was a child and because of the 90’s I (at the time) loved the 1998 film, now that I grew up and thankfully new directors helmed this version of Godzilla, I have seen the error of my ways and absolutely love these four monster movies. Bryan Cranston was phenomenal in this film. And of course Aaron Taylor Johnson looking good as always 😋🤣. Loved your reaction, can’t wait for the next one.

Definitely keep going. Godzilla is my favorite Kaiju of all time. The Godzilla vs Kong film is Epic. One love Seb!

"My timbers are shivered." LMAO! Brilliant!! 😊😊

Fun fact when they tested the Godzilla roar they got the biggest speakers they could find, set them up outside the film studio and turned them up full blast. The result was so load people miles away call 911 thinking there was a explosion.

11:44 This right here has been my ring tone for a few years now :) Also works wonders as an alarm.

Keep em coming! 🔥

I was surprised how good this film was. And you are right, I think the reason it was good is because it was a great main character that you actually care about and the monsters are awesome and badass. Definitely the best of the monsterverse films.

I can't wait for your reaction to the other Godzilla films

Funny thing is, Marvel did release a Godzilla comic once. If you haven't yet, you should check out the sequels; King of the Monsters and Godzilla vs Kong too. They're quite good as well

The airport roar is awesome

My favorite part is the airport scene of godzilla walking because when everyone in the airport sees godzilla it goes quiet, like there shocked.

Cap lifting mjolnir, and when Godzilla breathed fire down that MUTO's throat are two of my favorite movie moments.

This film is the reason I'm a Godzilla fan. It slaps
