Welcome to our first-time watching as we react to Godzilla (2014). We couldn't contain our excitement seeing the King of Monsters' triumphant return. This was everything we hoped it would be. It had some breathtaking visuals, some incredibly intense battles with multiple kaiju, and a reimagined and modern take on the iconic creature "Godzilla"
"Godzilla" (2014) directed by Gareth Edwards, brings the iconic creature back to the big screen, revealing the awe-inspiring scale of the colossal kaiju. Seeing him in a modern take was honestly such an incredible experience. After watching the original '54 film and some of the movies that came after I was curious to see how this creature would translate in today's modern age. And I have to say this movie delivered exactly what we were hoping for.
We got some great acting moments from Bryan Cranston, Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Elizabeth Olsen. Who gave us a human element that was more engaging than it's 1998 counterpart.
Its nods to the original Godzilla legacy, and the jaw-dropping moments alone make this film worth the watch.
We hope that you enjoy our reactions, commentary and discussions as we delve into the film's themes, how it sets up the groundwork for the larger MonsterVerse and how it ultimately showed us that Godzilla is indisputably the King of the Monsters.

Nuclear testing at Bikini Atoll consisted of the detonation of 24 nuclear weapons by the United States between 1946 and 1958 on Bikini Atoll in the Marshall Islands. Tests occurred at 7 test sites on the reef itself, on the sea, in the air, and underwater. The test weapons produced a combined yield of 42.2 Mt of TNT in explosive power.

I actually enjoyed, The less is more thing that they did in this movie. But you're absolutely right about the payoff in the third act. In fact, I love the whole monarch series. Creature design in Godzilla King of the monsters is incredible. I love how they made all of the monsters feel like they scientifically could be in this world. Godzilla, for example, is thicker because of buoyancy, and they gave him gills, which would explain him breathing under water. His thicker size makes him a tank. You should also check out Kong Skull Island because it ties into that series. Technically, it takes place before the events of this movie. If you're planning on doing the whole monarch series, watch that movie before you watch Godzilla VS Kong.

The big complaint about this film was that Godzilla wasn't in it enough, but that's easily forgiven given that they make every scene he's in count. His entrance and the uses of his atomic breath are MAJOR crowd-pleasers. And this gets him right by portraying him as akin to a natural disaster. You can't stop him, you just get out of his way and pick up the pieces after he leaves.

@gundamace2037 7 месяцев назад

I would say I agree with you mostly...and I can def agree most peoples criticism came off very negative. But I think the negativity was amplified by their disappointment, main from removing Bryan Cranston from the movie so early on then breaking the pacing to force the story to accept Aaron T Johnson's character to carry the movie. The constant cut aways from the fights between the monsters. The abandoned subplots. They don't need to make the human element so complex it overwhelms the monsters justification to be involved...but if you do...keep your Bryan Cranston alive...he added very much needed human element/weight with out taking from the mystery of the monsters. I still liked the movie but the criticism are valid as we will see similar mistakes repeated in the following movies.

@stonewall01 7 месяцев назад

Personally I think it was the main character. For me at least he wasn't that good. If they had Bryan Cranston as the main character throughout it would have been different I think. His character seemed to have more connection to the events happening and I feel would have been a good companion to Serizawa. The actor playing the son just seemed disinterested.

@OfficialMediaKnights 7 месяцев назад

Absolutely loved the early Japanese movies! This film gave me something I was craving which to be honest was always leaning more towards the technical side. I wanted to see how they recreated Godzilla nowadays since I only have those older films and the mangas as reference. And hey if the film was also entertaining even better. This film is not bad by any means! It has it’s issues and we address some of them. It could’ve been executed better with what they already had which is some excellent actors and a great set up. I don’t think this gets the negativity 1998 gets for example. I’d say it’s a pretty alright entry, the plot is what weighs it down a bit but in terms of visual and sound spectacle it’s a marvel to experience!

@smiddlehurst1 7 месяцев назад

Got to say I think this is the *perfect* introduction of Godzilla to a wider western audience and, in many ways, very similar to the original Godzilla film. Titans are portrayed, for the most part, as a natural disaster and shown from a very human-level perspective. There's nothing you can do to stop them, your only hope is to be elsewhere. Couple that with stunning creature and sound design and you end up with something unique, interesting and (thankfully) very profitable! Those after monster on monster action weren't really enough (at least a decade ago) to make a franchise with this sort of budget sustainable so you need to grow that audience first. Helps that they really make the most of the Big G's screen time with a fair few downright iconic moments here and every action scene having real weight and power to everything that happens. Oh and as for the 1996 film.... yeah, I'm with Final Wars on this one (for those that haven't seen it, check out Godzilla vs Zilla, Final Wars on this very site). A decent beast from 20,000 fathoms remake, yes. A Godzilla film? No. Wouldn't have blamed the 2014 crew for putting a 'So Japan... we're, uh, we're good now, yeah? We can keep making these?' card at the end of the credits.

Yay, the Monsterverse starts! Just in case y'all are not aware of the entirety of the timeline: Godzilla (2014) was the first movie in the Monsterverse but timeline wise doesn't come first That'd be Kong: Skull Island (2017) and partly Monarch: Legacy of Monsters (2023), a TV show that recently released with 10 episodes Personally I would recommend, due to the context, if you're interested in the entire Monsterverse to watch it in this order: - Godzilla (2014) - Kong: Skull Island (2017) - Monarch: Legacy of Monsters (2023) (reason I put this here is because the context you get from Godzilla (2014) and Kong: Skull Island directly feeds into this TV show) - Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019) - Godzilla vs Kong (2021) - Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire (2024? whenever it releases haha) Obviously, choose however you want to experience it but this'd be my recommendation :) The TV show is actually pretty cool, especially with the context of some characters from Kong: Skull Island and some events that happened in Godzilla (2014)

Timeline wise and chronologically, I think the beginning of Kong: Skull Island that’s first set in 1944 with young Lt. Hank Marlow goes first. Then the 1950s and early 1962 flashback scenes with young Bill Randa, young Lee Shaw, and Keiko Randa from Monarch: Legacy of Monsters. Then, the events of Kong: Skull Island in 1973. The 1982 flashback with Shaw after escaping the Axis Mundi. Next, the events with the MUTOs in the 2014 Godzilla film, which at some point Older Shaw was watching the news footage of Godzilla fighting the male MUTO in Honolulu. Then, the current events of Monarch: Legacy of Monsters from 2015 to 2017 in the season finale. Next, the 2019 events of Ghidorah’s apocalyptic mass awakening in Godzilla: King of the Monsters. Finally, the events of Godzilla vs. Kong.

There were high hopes and expectations for this movie, and it’s definitely worthy of praise in certain regards but ultimately it fell short of my expectations. Gareth Edwards’ favorite movie was Jaws and that was reflected by the fact that he named the family Brody. Edwards accomplished a great deal for a directorial debut with a major studio. But he didn’t understand why Jaws worked as far as keeping the shark hidden most of the time. Godzilla is not a shark. Once he’s out of the water the cat is out of the bag. Edwards seemed to think the way to mimic Jaws was to tease us several times before showing complete fight scenes (in the dark no less to hide imperfections in CGI). The result was Godzilla blue balls. Fear not. Toho studios recreated Godzilla perfectly with Godzilla Minus One. It’s a must see.

You described my biggest issue with this film flawlessly. The inspiration is there but as you mentioned it just doesn’t work as well with the big G. Cannot wait to see Minus One honestly I haven’t heard a single negative thing about it!

@suedoughnim6665 7 месяцев назад

@@OfficialMediaKnights Director Takashi Yamazaki made a black and white version of Minus One and the film was digitally edited for that format. Reviewers are saying it’s like watching a completely different film. It’s such a great way to reignite the nostalgia of the original 1954 film. Add the fact that Minus One was made on a budget of less than $15 million and your mind will be blown.

Everyone gives this movie hate, but I absolutely love it more than the other Monsterverse movies with Godzilla for two major reasons. Scale and the CGI quality This movie has such a sense of scale in everything, the movements of the monsters, the weight behind attacks, and the natural disasters that are kaiju. Unlike the more modern movies which are just 24/7 fighting with less convincing CGI. It has it's flaws, but I love it.

The tension and atmosphere building in this movie may well be the greatest of any kaiju film I've ever seen. When it comes to the more serious side of the genre, quality beats quantity in my opinion, and though the big lizard is in this movie for less than ten minutes, he absolutely dominates the screen for every millisecond he's on it. Definitely one of my top 3 Godzilla movies!

@D0S81 7 месяцев назад

I love the guy that plays the son in this. I still remember him as skinny little 'Kick Ass' (great comics and great films would love you guys to see if you haven't) and soon to be Kraven the Hunter which actually looks surprisingly good a ta time when we've been getting saturated with hollow comic book flicks trying to cash in on that early Marvel success. I'm actually looking forward to seeing Kraven.

@vermithax 7 месяцев назад

I am so glad you two enjoyed this. In my mind it's very underrated and the only one of this series of movies I actually enjoy -- the worldbuilding in the remaining films is just too goofy for me. But then, I liked the very same things that most people complained about. I loved only getting glimpses of Godzilla until the last quarter of the film. I loved pulling away from the main fight and bringing things down to a human scale in the last act. For one, the we needed to see what the human characters were up to, and for another, seeing the monsters bashing away in the background served to emphasize how titanic they truly were and how devastating the results were. Going back and forth like that was so much more interesting to me than just a monster cage match. I really want to see Minus One now. By the bye, the wonderful spooky choral music during the drop sequence was the same music used in 2001 (Gyorgy Ligeti's Requiem). Have you done a reaction for that yet? Highly recommended!

@LMarti13 6 месяцев назад

As someone who strongly believes that the worst part of Godzilla movies are the people, the problem with this movie is not that Godzilla is not in it enough; it's that there's a Godzilla movie that finally has a strong human character in Bryan Cranston and they kill him halfway in

@denroy3 7 месяцев назад

You should add 'The Sting' from 1973. 10 nominations, 7 Oscars, best picture, director, screenplay, musical score among them. Robert Redford, Paul Newman and Robert Shaw star. Made 257 million(in 74 dollars) in a 5 million budget. In other words, a critical and box office smash. A movie about conmen going after an underworld boss. Re-teams Redford and Newman from their big hit 'Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid'.

Besides not seeing Godzilla enough, the other big complaint was how dark the image was. At times it was hard to see what was going on. Strangely enough the 3D version was easier to see. Because a 3D image is usually darker they cranked up the brightness considerably.

@matthewgreganti4838 7 месяцев назад

I had the pleasure of seeing this in the theater when it came out. My friend and I lost our minds when he first used his atomic breath. It is hands down one of my favorite Godzilla movies. Overall I love it. It is more serious in tone than the sequels. They definitely step up the monster action in subsequent films. Kind of a hard balance to strike, but I think they did a great job.

And yet, still inadvertantly causes the deaths of probably hundreds of people just by existing 😄. It's the only authentic way of portraying him i reckon. A force of nature that isn't aware/cares about the tiny critters that happen to be in the way. But like, not randomly killing for no reason either.

Edwards had previously directed the movie, "Monsters" and in many ways the two are similar - including seeing the aftermath rather than the spectacle. I suspect that the producers were pleased with Edwards' directorial choices, as they probably also helped keep the CGI budget in check. Great video as always.

Re: the emotions on Gojira, that is one of the things that has long been true in the original Toho Pictures movies, which is easy to understand when it is an actor in a suit playing the creature in question. The suit actors in the old Gojira movies were very good at pantomiming emotion, and making the creature more relatable. I worried that a CGI kaiju would not have been able to capture the emotion as effectively, but in the event, it ended up being more powerful in some ways as, let's face it, "guy in a rubber suit" to western audiences has often been almost a joke, and that is hard for many to get past.
