Jet Jaguar gets his own Gigan scythes and rocket-punches one of them into Ghidorah’s chest. What a Chad.
Godzilla continues to beat the shit out of former foes in these little annual shorts. It’ll never get old, watching Godzilla land a right hook on Ghidorah’s head is worth it alone.
Both G-man and Jet Jaguar get to whoop ass, and get their asses whooped. Ghidorah ain’t no bitch, and even though his suit requires more…
A Walk Amongst Monsters #118
I’ll it, it’s actually kinda nice to see Zilla again.
He even gets to kick some Kaiju ass! Uses his green fire breath from the animated series and everything. Kinda makes me want to go and rewatch the show.
Anyways, this is such a cool “analog horror” inspired found footage short. I’m pretty sure this is entirely CGI, but they do a good job aging the footage and presenting it as a governmental vhs.
Essentially…
Seeing Kong get his ass beat by Godzilla will never not be fun.
I mean, it’s not even a fair fight. Godzilla wipes the floor with Kong the entire film. He’s relentless to the point he’s basically bullying Kong. Kong even gets a power-up weapon and still can’t get a dub. They try and spin it and say Kong “won” a fight that wasn’t even over yet. Yeah right buckos.
I was kinda dreading a rewatch…
“Ghidorah and Gojira's rivalry was ancient and unique.”
A couple years removed from the hype of seeing this in theaters and I’ve got to it: KOTM has definitely lost a lot of its luster.
They listened to the general complaints of the previous film and made sure that there was considerably more Kaiju combat. Which is a good thing, because the big monsters and their beatdowns are easily the saving grace of the film. It…
“The arrogance of men is thinking nature is in our control and not the other way around.”
After the disastrous ‘98 Godzilla debacle, the G-man made damn sure that if there was going to be an American Godzilla film, it was going to star him, not his likeness. And 16 years later we got just that.
You should have seen me in that theater, you’d think I had died and gone to heaven. Even with…
Watching this is worth it just to see Kong beat up a bunch of gorillas using a baby gorilla. That’s King shit right there.
I’ve seen comments saying that this film emulates the overt silliness of the later day Showa films, and I fully get that. This film is goofy from beginning to end. It knows that and simply wants to have fun with it. I think they succeeded.
Sure my boi Godzilla is mostly…
Now that’s what I call a kickass Godzilla short.
The underground city of Mu uses the remains of Gigan Rex to awaken Megalon. Didn’t know this was a sequel but it’s cool that it is.
It’s superior in every way too. I mean, this is such an improvement compared to the first. The animation is downright impressive and its inclusion of real actors and footage is a great choice. I’m serious, this looks great.
Not…
Godzilla’s back and more pissed than ever!
I had an unfortunate realization while watching this. For a chunk of the beginning I just wasn’t impressed. It wasn’t bad, but the hype built up around this film was quickly dissipated by the reality of what was on screen. The melodramatic acting just didn’t convey the weight of what was happening like it wanted too. At least to me. Not to mention that the opening attack, while…
A Walk Amongst Monsters #104
Happy Birthday to the G-man himself!
Godzilla has been making his way through his old school foes in these shorts, so why not have him take on an old friend this time?
Fan favorite Jet Jaguar shows off his impressive martial arts as he dips and dodges Godzilla’s atomic blasts all while landing a barrage of kicks on him. Just like the Hedorah short, the action is well choreographed with lots of destruction to be…
“That’s a lot of fish.”
This film isn’t great by any means, but I’m just glad to be back reviewing Kaiju films again.
Oh, Roland Emmerich’s bloated and misguided Godzilla’s film, it’s been a while. I used to watch this a lot as a kid, it was part of a dvd set we had that had this mixed in with 6 or 7 Godzilla films from the Heisei and Millennium eras. It was the one…
“Do as you like”
100 reviews! Holy shit! Never thought I’d actually keep this Kaiju train rolling that long but here I am. This has been a phenomenal journey for me, discovering new favorites and revisiting old ones, here’s to another 100!
Hideaki Anno was the only real choice to revive Godzilla after all those years dormant. The man has made his career taking all the anime and tokusatsu he grew up loving and infusing…
“One who depends on power, will be ruined by it.”
You mean to tell me Godzilla demolishes his shitty American counterpart to a fucking Sum 41 song? What I wouldn’t give to have been in the writers room when they decided that.
Final Wars marked 50 years of Godzilla. Half a decade of the King of the Monsters dominating pop culture. It’s no surprise they decided to go all out before he would once again…
