Godzilla Heisei Era

This forum is for discussing Chuck's videos as they are publicly released. And for bashing Neelix, but that's just repeating what I already said.

Godzilla Heisei Era

Post by Chaos Sepher »

Wow can't believe I have to be the one to start this topic but here we are.

Godzilla 1985 is one I like a lot. The start of the heisei era of the Goji films I do love how it is a single continuity, unlike the weird hodgepodge of stand alone films they made during the 2000's, save for the two part Kiryu films that Chuck alluded to. (my all time favorite version of MechaGodzilla btw) It is a great return to form as Godzilla being this unstoppable antagonistic juggernaut rampaging. I really love the suits in this era too, a far improvement over the goofy puppydog face Goji had for a good part of the showa era.

Not a fan of the Americanization aspects to this in hindsight, hopefully we can get remastered and uncut version of this film released sometime.

This is a re-upload of an old review, as is Godzilla vs Biollante. If you check the Film Reviews category, you can see that these were both put up a few years ago, hence why nobody started the topic I guess.

This was actually the first Godzilla movie I ever saw, my great uncle had it at his house along with the original Mecha-Godzilla and I watched it one rainy night out of curiosity and I enjoyed it well enough, and I gotta admit Dub Bum is better than the bum in the original cut and Raymond Burr is great with what little he's given, but aside from that the Japanese version is superior.

Then again I think the 98 Zilla film isn't near as bad as people say it is, the main problem is that it's more of a remake of Beast from 20,000 Fathoms that leads to a pretty good Godzilla cartoon instead of a legit Godzilla movie.

Honestly the earliest Godzilla movie I can recall really seeing was Terror of Mechagodzilla.

Ah, k was not aware. Though for now gonna rename this the Godzilla Heisei Era topic.

On the one hand, it is strange they never brought up the bird call thing again, on the other just as well such a goofy plot point be dropped.

I was wondering if Chuck and Brandon Tenold planned same day releases of this movie:

Do hope he get's to reviewing the rest of the Godzilla Hesei era films. If nothing else I want to hear Chuck pronounce Super X again. :P

I grew up watching Godzilla movies. Every year there would be a "Godzilla Week" on the 4:30 Movie. King of the Monsters was always kind of the weird one because of the American add-ons. I was a teenager and '85 and the American bits seemed even weirder then because we'd seen plenty of dubbed Godzilla movies with no American footage and bringing back Burr seemed useless.
