Top Movies in the 80's and the 90's

Godzilla 1985 (1985)
Godzilla & Mothra: The Battle for Earth (1992)
Godzilla Vs. Biollante (1989)

Godzilla Vs. Spacegodzilla (1994)

Note: About Spacegodzilla, it's has great special effects, a decent story line, but it was also was somewhat hastily put together and that's when I have problems grading this film properly.

These three films are all tied at 5th place
Godzilla Vs. King Ghidorah (1991)
Godzilla Vs. Mechagodzilla II (1993)
Godzilla Vs. Destoroyah (1995)

Spacegodzilla, King Ghidorah, Megagodzilla II, and Destroyah were on ENCORE for two months recently and I watched them at least two times each and I was somewhat entertained by these film but I consider them not the greatest films ever made and the Godzilla Franchise in the Eighties and the Nineties only made three good films and that's a very sad feeling for this Godzilla fan and I was so disappointed by these films. Godzilla 1998 is the worst of the worst film ever made and I cried afterwards after watching this movie on the big screen.

I've liked the giant monsters since some of the late 60s stuff showed up in second-run theatres: double bills like MONSTER ZERO and the WAR OF THE GARGANTUAS. I still haven't seen GARGANTUAS a second time. By that time the American and European versions of this quasi-genre had petered out, but one could still catch the best of them on TV: GORGO, TARANTULA, 20 MILLION MILES TO EARTH and of course the best of them all, regardless of origin, the 1933 KING KONG.

I did see MEGA SHARK VS. GIANT OCTOPUS. It had one excellent scene and the rest was at best time-killing junk. I've seen others in the same vein and most of them don't have even one standout scene.

I've recently rewatched all of the Gamera films that were collected on a DVD collection from Mill Creek (they omit only the last film, entitled GAMERA THE BRAVE). All the movies are in Japanese with English subs, and it does sometimes add extra dimension to films that look overly kooky in English-- though they're still fairly loony even in Japanese.

I've reviewed a fair number of the kaiju kindred on my film-blog, but someone here might find my reviews of the Gamera films of interest, so here's some links:

GAMERA THE GIANT MONSTER (1965), GAMERA VS. BARUGON (1966), GAMERA VS. GYAOS (1967)

GAMERA VS. VIRAS (1968), GAMERA VS. GUIRON (1969)

GAMERA VS. JIGER (1970), GAMERA VS. ZIGRA (1971), GAMERA SUPER MONSTER (1980)

GAMERA GUARDIAN OF THE UNIVERSE (1995), ADVENT OF LEGION (1996), AWAKENING OF IRYS (1999)

Top Movies in the 00's

Rating per Movie - 1/5 (Poor) to 5/5 (Excellent)

Godzilla 2000: Millennium (2000) - 3/5 - Not bad, the problem is that I only saw it once and my memory is failing.
Godzilla Vs. Megaguirus (2000) - 2/5 - To me it's somewhat a rip-off of Godzilla vs Destroyer concept.
Godzilla, Mothra, King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack (2001) - 2/5 - To me, it was hastily made.
Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla (2002) - 3/5 - Much better than Godzilla Vs. Mechagodzilla II but, I have some issues about this movie and it's will take me quite awhile to explain it.
Godzilla: Tokyo S.O.S. (2003) - I did not see this.
Godzilla: Final Wars (2004) - 5/5 - To me this was EPIC and I just love this movie - Action Packed!

Top 3 Movies of the 00's

1. Godzilla: Final Wars (2004)
2. Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla (2002)
3. Godzilla 2000: Millennium (2000)

Special Case
Godzilla: (2014) - Recent Adaption (American-Made) - I need to watch it again and I'm going to my friend house in a week to see it again and when I do - I can safely rate this movie in the best of my ability.

Here's my Godzilla DVD collection. Missing 1 or 2 of the newer ones but that is most of it. What I really need is Godzilla 1985, which has yet to see the light of day other than an overpriced bootleg.

KING KONG 1933

This movie was on Turner Classic Movies today and I was thoroughly enjoyed the exciting adventure of an oversize Gorilla and the Beauty of Ann Darrow. I was thoroughly entertained and I enjoyed the movie today and I hope some of you here watched it as much fun as I did. Like those immortal words ...

Police Lieutenant: Well, Denham, the airplanes got him.
Carl Denham: Oh no, it wasn't the airplanes. It was beauty killed the beast.

It was beauty killed the beast!

It was an epic adventure and there were a never a dull moment in this 1933 film. It was an amazing film back then and still is.

When I was a kid, WTTV in Indianapolis would play "King Kong" in the afternoon every Thanksgiving.

It's one of my favorites! I used to watch it once a year, but I got to the point where I was wearing it out a bit, so I took a break for three or four years. I think I'm about due to watch it again. If I have time this week before it disappears, I'll watch it on tcm.com.

Godzilla: (2014) - Recent Adaption (American-Made) - I need to watch it again and I'm going to my friend house in a week to see it again and when I do - I can safely rate this movie in the best of my ability.

************************************************************************************

After watching this movie on my friend's 42 inch Plasma Television - it was kinda okay on the big screen - the problem is when you watch this movie the stuff that you watched this movie and according to Internet Movie Database it is a 6.7 out of 10. That's would translate to a 3 star movie.

My grade after watching this movie - hold your breath it's a 1 star movie. I just don't like this movie on bit and Godzilla appeared less than 20 minutes of a 2 hour plus movie and that's a big disappointment to a Godzilla movie lover of which I'm. Acting is poor, the script is laughable, and it's hastily done and I just can't stomach all the mistakes that this movie had made.

Having said that - I will not get the DVD of this movie period.

GODZILLA FILM SHORT HISTORY

Shōwa series (1954–1975)
The initial series of movies is named for the Shōwa period in Japan (as all of these films were produced before Emperor Hirohito's death in 1989). This Shōwa timeline spanned from 1954, with Godzilla, to 1975, with Terror of Mechagodzilla.

Godzilla (1954)
Godzilla Raids Again (1955)
King Kong Vs. Godzilla (1962)
Godzilla Vs. Mothra (1964)
Ghidrah, the Three-Headed Monster (1964)
Godzilla Vs. Monster Zero (1965)
Godzilla Vs. the Sea Monster (1966)
Son of Godzilla (1967)
Destroy All Monsters (1968)
Godzilla's Revenge (1969)
Godzilla Vs. Hedorah (1971)
Godzilla Vs. Gigan (1972)
Godzilla Vs. Megalon (1973)
Godzilla Vs. Mechagodzilla (1974)
Terror of Mechagodzilla (1975)

Heisei series (1984–1995)
The timeline was revamped in 1984 with The Return of Godzilla; this movie was created as a direct sequel to the 1954 film, and ignores the continuity of the Shōwa series. Because of this, the original Godzilla movie is considered part of the Heisei series as well as being a part of the Shōwa series. The continuity ended in 1995's Godzilla vs. Destoroyah after a run of seven films.

Godzilla 1985 (1985)
Godzilla Vs. Biollante (1989)
Godzilla Vs. King Ghidorah (1991)
Godzilla & Mothra: The Battle for Earth (1992)
Godzilla Vs. Mechagodzilla II (1993)
Godzilla Vs. Spacegodzilla (1994)
Godzilla Vs. Destoroyah (1995)

Millennium series (1999–2004)
The Millennium Series is the official name for the Godzilla movies made after the Heisei series. The Millennium series does not compose a single chronological narrative. Instead, the various Millennium films are portrayed as "alternate universe" scenarios not unlike Marvel's "What if...?" series, or DC's Elseworlds.

Godzilla 2000: Millennium (2000)
Godzilla Vs. Megaguirus (2000)
Godzilla, Mothra, King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack (2001)
Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla (2002)
Godzilla: Tokyo S.O.S. (2003)
Godzilla: Final Wars (2004)

TriStar Pictures (1998)

Godzilla (1998)

In October 1992, TriStar Pictures acquired the rights from Toho with plans to produce a trilogy of Godzilla films Godzilla was released in May 1998, with Roland Emmerich directing and co-writing and Dean Devlin producing and co-writing as well. Despite being a box office success, the film was met with a negative reception from critics and fans of the franchise.

Legendary Pictures (2014 On)

Godzilla (2014)
Godzilla 2 (2018)
Godzilla 3 (

?)

Godzilla 2 Rumors
Rumors said that the sequel is expected to be released June 8, 2018 and is set to feature other Toho properties such as Rodan, Mothra, and King Ghidorah. Looks like they are planning to use all three of them.

Godzilla 3 Rumors
Roland Emmerich along with other Legendary Pictures - planning on doing a Godzilla vs Mechgodzilla after Godzilla 2 is completed. More information later.

Stokoe's attention to detail on the level of Darrow-like proportions.

The most I can say is, it's better than the 90s American version. Maybe the Americans should just leave live-action Godzilla alone.
