My bad, I was thinking of something else I read. Art is great on that one. Story wasn't bad, but just didn't really grab me, I guess.
Yeah I agree that the story was so-so. I was just surprised because I love the art so much, hah.My bad, I was thinking of something else I read. Art is great on that one. Story wasn't bad, but just didn't really grab me, I guess.

Spoil if you must, but we know Mothra's song will play due to the sountrack, but is there vocals???
I've known about the script since last year, but I'm glad it came together in the end and am officially hyped now.Just came of IMAX.
Godzilla: KOTM -
+Incredible effects and cinematography during the action scenes King Gidorah stole the movie
+Great soundtrack and obvious nostalgia for the classics
+Less mysterious than the first one so it feels more like a kaiju movie
+They do Godzilla right and give him the respect he deserves
+Tons of references and Easter eggs to the Toho movies
-Far too many human scenes that didn't make me feel much of anything besides Watanabe.
-Action scenes weren't long enough for me. Stop cutting from the fights between the monsters in order to see the humans
-Lots of jokes that land or fail depending on whoever sees it
-Too much time spent on the mother character, who has one of the most absurd reasons for acting like they do I've seen in a while.
Overall, this is a must see for any Kaiju fan as this is the first American Godzilla movie that really captures the spirit of the old movies with stunning effects and awesome moments. 8/10
The full OST is apparently out on Apple Music (song titles may be spoilers)

The classic Godzilla march is back and it is fucking glorious
I knew we were in good hands with Michael Dougherty for KOTM when I read an interview with him a long while back where he was talking about designing the Toho monsters, the interviewer brought up having Ghidorah still shoot his yellow lightning, and Dougherty corrected him to say they're gravity beams. Instantly I knew, yeah, this guy is a fan.
As you should. Any fan of kaiju should be hyped. Just don't think too hard on the human characters and their motivations.I've known about the script since last year, but I'm glad it came together in the end and am officially hyped now.
I already do that with most Godzilla films. So i'll be okay.As you should. Any fan of kaiju should be hyped. Just don't think too hard on the human characters and their motivations.
Are there really 17 other Kaiju?Just came of IMAX.

Been listening to the soundtrack all day, love Godzilla's theme and Mothra's song.
Speaking of Mothra, here's my video on NECA's new figure.
Oh man I didn't even notice that and it's one of my favorite ones from the franchise. Subtle stuff like that really makes an indirect impression on usI realized on my rewatch why Godzilla looks so much better in Vs Biollante than other films, even later Heisei ones; they animated his tongue, so it moves around when he roars instead of being static at the bottom of his mouth. It's a simple extra to the costume but it adds a lot of realism.
"I just have a thing for all things GMK."
You must be a good person.
That's awesome! I love his work. His Necronomicon segment, the Gamera trilogy, Azumi 2, GMK, etc.Favorite Godzilla movie by far. Pumped to meet the director Shusuke Kaneko at this years G-Fest in Chicago.
When Toho starts making Godzilla films again I'd love to see him take another shot at the franchise.That's awesome! I love his work. His Necronomicon segment, the Gamera trilogy, Azumi 2, GMK, etc.
He's had a couple misfires but he's a great director.
Oh yes. I prefer them over half of the Godzilla Heisei films which are a lot harder for me to go back to outside of the first two.
Gamera needs to be in this kaijuverse :s
They show other kaiju than the main 4. They don't really factor much into the movie besides building tension . They have a little teaser for the next movie. Nothing too exciting.
Are you only asking about the solo films?
Godzilla vs. Mothra the 64 version is probably the best one. I still haven't seen the original, but that's going to change when I get the steel book in the next month or so.
Yeah mainly her solo movies. i watched the Gamera Trilogy from the 90s and they were pretty solid.Are you only asking about the solo films?
Because the Rebirth of Mothra films are pretty tough to watch.
What's GMK stand for again?Godzilla vs. Mothra the 64 version is probably the best one. I still haven't seen the original, but that's going to change when I get the steel book in the next month or so.
GMK is probably the second best one with her starring in it.
Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack.Yeah mainly her solo movies. i watched the Gamera Trilogy from the 90s and they were pretty solid.
What's GMK stand for again?
Outside of the original film (which I haven't seen) I only know of the 90s Rebirth of Mothra trilogy. Those were meant for... Really young kids. It's basically the opposite of the Gamera trilogy. Which is fine of course. But yeah, they're not great. Maybe try the first one if you can find it for cheap.Yeah mainly her solo movies. i watched the Gamera Trilogy from the 90s and they were pretty solid.
Aha thanks.Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack.
It's the Godzilla film released in 2001.
