Godzilla (1998) - Nostalgia Critic 

Lol

That's a bit of a exaggeration. The creature's like 20 seconds in Final Wars, and the real Gojira kills it in one blow.

+Nikke 2800 I love the scene where godzilla kills zilla so much, when I first saw it I was laughing so hard at what I just saw.

+miguelsaurio55 I actually had to watch that over and over. It was well thought out.

It sure was alot

*ALOT!*

I remember the animated series being pretty good.

A much BETTER cartoon series is all we have!

Yep yep yep

​@@hamurshBetter than this movie deserves for a sequel.

Wasn't the population of New York City only 3 Millon in 1998?

Yeah just look at the ninja turtles theyr able to remain hidden even with alien attacks same to the transformers

Let's see, large city with canyon like buildings able to visually obscure a large moving object? Check! Expansive underground system of both active and abandoned infrastructure that can be tunneled through easily by an animal that size? Check. A population of people who go out of their way to mind their own business unless something directly effects them personally? Check check checkaroni! Sounds right to me.

Oxycominum I know right? X_x

I'm more weirded out that I didn't even notice until you pointed it out. Haha how did I not see it?

Another fact is that he was still bald at the time.

Yeah it's really weird

It reminds me of the time my dad shaved his beard.

This is one of the few times I'm okay with giving a like to a comment that's just quoting the review, because honestly it probably took a lot of work to type that out. And that's saying something, because usually I find quoting something from the review just to get likes to be incredibly lazy. Nice work.

🤣

Read that at the same time as the video said that

Great throwback to Monty Python.

That's a lotta letters... I meant fish!

The comment I was looking for lmfao

Where does that last name even come from? Is it European or West Asia or what?

its DanceToppolus

It's Sootopolis

Soccorso Micheli Di Spirito de Cruz Loving that Luxord art you got there !

Soccorso Micheli Di Spirito de Cruz Not to mention, the Final Wars Godzilla killed Zilla in mere seconds!

TheBadAssNcrRanger Even in the Kaiju World they are like "She/He's not worth it. Just kill it and we will never speak of it again."

Soccorso Micheli Di Spirito de Cruz Yep. Thank god it's gone for good. At least the new American Godzilla really is a Godzilla.

Soccorso Micheli Di Spirito de Cruz This movie was ok, but the ending was bullshit!! God-Zilla doesn't die!! He's fucking invincible!! But noooooooooooo, they had to kill him off! Well FUCK YOU ZILLA!! I don't give a shit that you did have you win tv series! Your movie sucks ass! 😭😡

IKR! And "Godzilla Final Wars", proves which one is superior!!!

That Godzilla tanked a meteor.

Reicher Wallace Yeah! NO SHIT!!! Where as the American Version runs away like a chicken!

At least the new remake had a Godzilla that survived.

The Japanese Godzilla is a Shinto demon-god, whereas the American Zilla was abyssal gigantism combined with radioactive mutations.

That reminds me of something similar that happened in The Lost World, which came out a year before this movie. In the movie there was a Paleontologist named Robert Burke who according to Sarah Harding is wrong about the behavior and the Parental instincts of the T. rex. Later in the film he is eaten by the Mother Tyrannosaur. This character was a Caricature of real-life Paleontologist Robert Bakker (who was actually mentioned by Tim in the first film) Bakker was the rival of Jack Horner, the Paleontology Consultant for the first 3 Jurassic Park films (incidentally Horner was also the real-life inspiration for Alan Grant) Horner believed the T. rex was a Scavenger. Bakker (like the rest of us) believed the T. rex to be an Apex Hunter. This drove Horner so crazy that he asked Spielberg to have a caricature of Bakker be eaten by a T. rex to spite him. But this all backfired in Horners face because Bakker saw the movie and recognized himself getting eaten, LOVED IT, and sent Horner a written letter which said: “See, I TOLD you that T. Rex was a hunter!”

I can understand the dislike for this movie… it wasn’t really Godzilla. But it wasn’t “a bad movie” per se. It wasn’t boring like the 2014 Godzilla

@Phan Ghostly zilla jr. is godzilla, go watch the show, he's a badass

@UC8jmcDUE-SHN0Oep5vG6XnQ oh ok, but most people agree zilla r. is worthy of the godzilla title

@Phan Ghostly your opinion is your opinion, and you are entitled to it, but at least we know rulers of earth zilla is a godzilla sub-species. and most people like zilla jr., but not the original zilla

@Dr Prof Krane Well yes he is. He's far more worthy than his predecessor and the the whole fight between Zilla Jr and Mechazilla was kinda the proof. He's nearly indestructible, has atomic breath plus the traits of being extremely agile in battle and underwater.

​@Dr Prof Krane Debatable. Power don't mean shit if you can't hit your target. Zilla Jr ironically enough has the best of both worlds. The traits of his predecessor while also having those of the original. I'm just saying I prefer Zilla Jr over his "father".

To be fair, he could’ve just disappeared back into the water, probably looking for fish and then later on as it’s a later time, Night time as opposed to daytime earlier it would’ve been another meal for him; Looking for his breakfast/lunch and then being lured To have his supper eh? :-)

And he can camoflage and by the way 98 answered "I am a ninja smoke bomb!!!!"

*Gojira and the name "Godzilla" was born from just hearing the pronouncing of the word, Gojira, by the Western audience of wht it sounded like.

From what I’ve read Gojira was the nickname of a guy on set that had a bulky build or something. Not sure if that’s true or not.

We know.

The worst scene in the movie minus STAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They didn't buy the rights to "Zilla," at least not in the way that you're implying. Tristar purchased the license to use the Godzilla IP from Toho in order to produce the 1998 film. This means that Godzilla 1998 was always filed under the original Godzilla IP owned by Toho. Since they owned the original Godzilla IP and by extension the 1998 design, Toho disliked the 1998 film so much that they actually used their legal right to create an entirely new IP under the name "Zilla" to legally distinguish the 1998 version from the traditional Godzilla IP just out of spite for the film. Any piece of the media that wants to publish or release works featuring the 1998 design must buy the rights to use the "Zilla" IP from Toho, since they own both the rights to the "Godzilla" and "Zilla" IP.

Gojira shot hot mist and it was more cooler than zilla’s “power breath” thank goodness for Godzilla:TAS

I actually bought Godzilla: The Series recently and with its 40 episodes spread out on four dvds its an awesome show to watch also it has two unaired episodes in it.

He just did a Nostalgia-ween/ Monster Madness crossover with the Nerd on the Tom Cruise Mummy Reboot. Hopefully he can do a Godzillathon crossover with Brandon Tenold from Brandon's cult movie reviews. Hopefully maybe a cameo from Gojifan1993 at some point

8:42 Holy Shit!

Julie Bradwell He kinda already reviewed Godzilla 2014 but as bum reviews

But, the movie and series still does come off as something the people from Ancient Aliens would make. Essentially everything not made by N.Europeans “was aliens” It’s always coloured my enjoyment of the universe.

For sure. The Stargate movie was meh, but the series really really did it for me.

@@cjwrench07 they tweaked the lore in the series that the Goa'uld didn't create egyptian, chinese, etc cultures. They simply co-opted the local mythology and took upon the personas of already existing gods. A nice touch.

@@elroyscout It still ignoring that “Aliens” *advanced* everyone’s culture/technology, except for North & Western Europeans in the show. (The exact same unofficial motto as the ancient aliens people. Aliens taught/oversaw the building of the Mayan’s vast water pumping-storage networks, but not the older European Castles.) The only interactions those European cultures had was with the protective or benign aliens, like the Asgard and Ancients, who very particularly didn’t pass on any technological or societal advancements to them. So… the inherent implication is that the show’s various “aliens” taught everyone else how to build the wonders of the ancient world: - the *massive* (British Empire destroyed) Wall across the neck of Africa. -the slightly lighter Great Wall of China. -the advanced medicine, including the purposeful use of antibiotics in C.African empires. -the South & Central Americans very complicated use of wind & hydrodynamics to move water to both mountainous & arid desert cities. Although, once the Aliens stopping advancing them, those cultures either stagnated or collapsed.

yea and was actually much better than the film. lol

There was originally meant to be a film trilogy, but it got cancelled due to the poor reception of this film.

Funny enough this was actually the first movie that ever introduced me to Godzilla as I had never seen any of the toho movies before this and the 2014 Godzilla movie was what introduced me to the Godzilla that many of the people who had seen the toho movies were familiar with so this Godzilla film will always hold a special place in my heart

Well, in "Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah," they showed Godzilla's origin as he was an actual dinosaur before, but soon mutated after the H-bomb hit.

+andrewa714 Maybe critic got confused? It's really hard to tell what a dinosaur and a mutated lizard is actually

Everything you said is true except that Marine Iguanas eat algae that grows on rocks underwater, not fish. Most species of iguana are largely vegetarian

GOD DAMMIT!!!! That monster is not a lizard. It's a reptile. In the starting credits, they show a Komodo, a reptile, and another creature that swims and has a single row of spines, probably a reptile that eats fish.

@@renardnoir2581 That is one of the main reasons behind the hate of this movie is the fact that it doesn't deserve the title of godzilla has its not an unstoppable force of nature and also there are bit of huge plot holes and poor writing as well the fact that the monster is somehow a ninja That can disappears

Raging Raichu It also has a lot of fish

I hear ya my mom watched this movie so often that I have a definitive soft spot for it as well as movies like The Mummy (Brenden Fraiser) along with its sequal's cartoon, Aliens/ Predators, and a movie called The 10th Kingdom which is 8 hours long.
