I am a Generation Xer so grew up watching Kaiju movies in the New York area on WOR, WPIZ, or the ABC Afternoon movie; yes there was movies I the afternoon before Oprah and like took over the airwaves.

Couple of new kaijus are glimpsed at besides the top four of Godzilla, Mothra, Rodan, and King Ghidorah.

Who the hell is Millie Bobby Brown?

I prefer the 1956 release with Raymond Burr. His footage was added for the American release. The Japanese version doesn’t include it.

It’s one of my all-time favorite movies.

Millie Bobby Brown? Never heard of him / her.

David Strathairn is a quality actor who seems to have accepted typecasting as a slightly - or more than slightly - sinister high-ranking government type.

Whatever advances the new version has, it can’t top the musical score of the original Gojira, by Akira Ifukube; in my classes I teach about him alongside Tiomkin, North, Herrmann, and Williams.

Just watched it.

Feh.

Too much bleeping CGI.

And the good guy monsters have no soul. And in Godzilla’s case, no neck.

Bring back the guys in the rubber suits!!!

Did anybody ever see the Godzilla film from Japan that starts off with the Japanese Army teaming up with Godzilla (?) to throw American troops off of a contested island?

The caricature portrayal of Americans was unintentionally hilarious. Open your mouth as wide as you can and use the phrase ‘you guys’ in every sentence. That was pretty much it.

The scene with the radios has an immediate problem.

The receiver appears to be a Hammarlund SP-600, and the closeup of the bandspread dial shows a moving needle, which absolutely never existed on the actual unit.

Fail.

This iteration of King Ghidorah looks flippin’ terrifying.

I’ve watched a couple of the “classic” Godzilla (and company) movies recently...still fun.

There is scuttlebutt around of a remake of “Godzilla” and “Pacific Rim” together. I’m good with that. LOVE me some disaster flicks! Sounds so good...
