I think I was around 5 years old when I first saw King Kong (1933 version) and then watched King Kong vs. Godzilla, and I was and still am a huge Kong fan.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m also a HUGE Godzilla fan, but Kong’s always been my boy.
So I guess this movie is something that I never knew I wanted since childhood. A team-up with my two favorite movie monsters.
I can’t wait.
Best Godzilla film.
They did it, they made one of these that makes you care about the PEOPLE.
It was freaking fantastic, the story was very heart wrenching at times, and the Godzilla parts were actually scary.
I was thrown by [redacted] and didn’t expect to cry during this movie.
It’s only out for a week here in the US, so if you wanna see it, make plans soon.
Two thumbs up!
Go see it!
I’m a Giants and Mets fan, except when the Giants play the Mets, and I’m totally a Mets fan. Even though the Giants are my hometown team, and the first ball club that I knew.

I’m a Godzilla and King Kong fan, except when Godzilla fights Kong, and I’m totally Team Kong. In this case I recall seeing the original King Kong (1933) before I ever saw a Godzilla film, the first of which might have been King Kong vs. Godzilla (1963).

I drink Coca Cola and Pepsi. I prefer Pepsi.

I’m a Star Wars and Star Trek fan. Period.
I seriously considered staying in my PJs all day today, until I walked back into the bathroom and saw the clothes I meant to wear after showering.
I put them there 3 hours earlier, but I got caught up watching Doctor Who.
I showered and changed, then reheated the fries and pizza that I ordered for dinner last night.
Now I’m watching the Godzilla Lounge Lizard Marathon on Comet TV.
At some point I’ll watch the new episode of Doctor Who, but that’s not for a few hours.
Cheers, everyone!
The best Godzilla movie I’ve seen in 24 years.
And I frakkin’ love Godzilla vs. Destroyah (1995).
So much kaiju goodness in this one, so much more than Godzilla 2014. And hearing the original theme from Akira Ifukube really made this film that much better.
And ALL THE CALL BACKS to so many classic moments from the 30-film library of Godzilla films made me so freaking happy, my jaw dropped so many times during this film.
All they needed was the Super-X to make this one perfect. It definitely ranks up among my top 5 Godzilla films. Maybe even top 3, I’d have to think about that.
The critics talk about lack of plot. WHEN WAS PLOT EVER A HIGHLIGHT OF A GODZILLA FILM, FFS?
I give this one the highest recommendation possible, for fans of the pre-2000 Godzilla films. For casual fans, it’s a fun romp, a popcorn flick, officially starting the summer movie season.
I’m gonna see this one again, maybe even in IMAX.
Today is the 50th anniversary of one of the best monster movies ever made.
This was one of the first ones I remember watching on TV, probably on the tiny 13-inch black and white set in my parent’s bedroom.
And probably on the 3:30 Movie on KGO Channel 7 in San Francisco.
Between the weird ‘metal’ aliens (Kilaaks) and the 11 Toho monsters and the Moonlight SY-3 (I still want a toy of that) there’s very little to not like about this one. It’s campy and silly at times, just like a classic Godzilla film should be.
My favorite part is when the Kilaak leader begins to gloat near the end, and then Godzilla smashes into their secret base.
It’s like, “naw, b*tch, we comin’ for you, too!”
This was one of the few classic Godzilla films that I got to watch with Dad, sometime last year. He found it just as silly as I do, but entertaining.
What I found amusing was that the English subtitles did not match the English dubbing for a good portion of the movie.
I watched it over the weekend, not knowing that today was the actual 50th anniversary. I may watch it again tonight, just because.
