Kaiju no Kami Reviews - Shin Godzilla (2016)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 14 окт 2024
- After 12 years and an American made movie, Toho finally brings Godzilla back to the theaters of Japan with a new reboot of the atomic behemoth directed by Evangelion creator Hideaki Anno. Was it worth the wait? Or should it have been left beneath the waves? Watch to find out.
Omg, you did it, at last, it's here!
Thank you!
The actually terrorizing, actually mature, escalating, nostalgic and delicate Shin Godzilla.
It returned to its origins . . .
Will you did a quicke review of king of the monsters when it comes out ,then a full review later in the future
Yes to both questions.
I actually loved the classic score but I think it was more pleasing to me since this was my first Japanese godzilla film in theaters so I got a nostalgia kick from it myself.
Also those back lasers yea my mind was blown from awesomeness as well
It's not that I hated the classic score, it's just that the audio mixing didn't sound right.
Would you make a reviews of "Ice Age" animated movie franchise?
Probably not as I have no interest in those movies at all. Only seen the second one and found it to be meh. :-)
I heard that the director thought that he felt that audiences would find the suitmation boring so he used CGI but wanted to pay tribute to the past people who stepped in the role so they used motion capture. Also there was an animatronic puppet that was made but ultimately whatever scenes were made for it were cut.
Yeah, I've heard that aspect before and I totally disagree with that assessment. Suitmation will always be superior.
Good stuff sir. I'm really hungry to get to sit down with this film again. I'm still impressed with how well they did creating a very distinct and new type of Goji on film, but still maintained a feel for the original real deal death dealer vibe of the classics. That last shot is still the stuff the of nightmares. Although I'm gonna piggy back off some comments below I'd gladly watch Batman and Robin (mostly for Uma) or the Adam West stuff over "Rises." There's no fun to be had in that trainwreck and I'm personally offended anyone would compare the sharp and focused commentary of "Shin Goji," to that half baked Dickensian disaster :-)
Hey, look who finally joined the party. :-) They did a very good job on the atmosphere. Oh, and I'm just going to pretend you didn't say you would rather watch Batman & Robin or the Adam West stuff over Rises. :-p
Lol, Deal
What do you think of the live action attack on Titan movies?
Terrible. They completely miss the point of the series and took too many liberties with the story.
Kaiju no Kami
So every live action adaptation of classic cartoons/anime in existence got it
Have you heard the movie called Q the winged serpent if so what do you think think
I think so, but I've never seen it.
Kaiju no Kami could you review it someday
Perhaps.
Where would you rank this movie in the Godzilla series
Around #19.
I'm considering supporting you on Patreon. When it says per creation does that include news videos and quickies?
Sometimes. I believe Patreon limits charging up to three times per month and most of the time I try to get at least three reviews or something out a month. I usually try to only charge my patron (since I only have one right now) for my regular reviews.
Do you like changes to Godzilla
Like what do you mean?
Kaiju no Kami him changing throughout the film, him shooting from his dorsal fins,shooting form his tail, something to protects his eyes,and him not shooting his classic atomic breath instead a freaking laser.
My bad. I thought you meant the design changes over the years, not in specifically this film. It was a cool idea, though, multiple forms is so cliché these days in Japanese stories, so kind of redundant.
Despite me being one of the biggest haters of Shin Godzilla, this is a fantastic review. I do want to say that the last time we talked about Shin Godzilla, I said that I didn't hate it but I didn't like it, but as time went on, my opinions change, and let's just say that Shin Godzilla is to me what the Dark Knight Rises is to you. Shin Godzilla is by far my least favorite Godzilla of all time. But, I mainly want to say this(mainly to people that like Shin, maybe even love it), I'm not trying to take away your love for this movie, it's just not for me. And I also want to say that I'm thankful that there are people that can enjoy certain things I just can't. To anyone who is reading this comment that likes Shin Godzilla, do yourselves a honorable favor, and embrace your love for this movie as much as you possibly can, cause if you can love this movie while I can't, then more power to you all.
lol I don't think Rises is the worst Batman movie ever as it is still far better than B&R and the Adam West stuff, but I get what you are saying. :-p
Kaiju no Kami I guess what I meant to say is that the first time I watched it, I liked it, but by my second watching and thinking it over, it just keeps going downhill for me.
Oh, I've had movies like that. Plenty of them and I'm sure there will be more.
Kaiju no Kami Indeed
Yeah... I didn't like it much.. It was kind of boring. To me it felt like this is just a gimmick. Like they did the movie to 1up on 2014 Godzilla. Like, they wanted to make their version more powerful. But, that's it. His atomic breath is way more powerful, yes.... but so what?
Kaiju no Kami..... Jared Cheeks... In the original concept... They were going to have either a two headed Godzilla... or two Godzilla's (One emerging out of the 1st one). And the tail was supposed to be another head, shooting atomic beams.
So I'm like, "A two headed Godzilla... with a head for a tail.... like 3 heads... you mean, like.... Gihdorha??? So are we watching Godzilla???? Or are we watching Gihdorah emerging out of something that looks like Godzilla????"
Really..... What the HELL...!!!???
Actually, the reason it’s a 3.1 audio mix is that Anno wanted it in mono like the ‘54 Film, but Toho wouldn’t let him, as not every theater in Japan would accept just mono, so it was then repurposed to 3.1
Now, if the original audio recordings of the ‘54 Movie still exist, then they can exist in whatever sound format possible. Depending on the number of microphones used, theoretically a 5.1 or 7.1 mix of the music could be possible.
Yeah I know, but it doesn't mean I don't find it stupid as hell.
Between this movie and the Godzilla (1984) what do you like better
84, easily.
I love this movie but I don’t like the use of stock music and the stock roar it makes it look idk kinda lazy
I kind of agree.
Kaiju no Kami why couldn’t they create a new roar
It's not really a remake though. It's another version. Remaking would mean they were retelling the same story over with the same characters and stuff. That's like saying Kong Skull Island is a remake of King Kong when it isn't. I see nothing wrong with the cutting away from the monster though, it builds up the anticipation. I don't need to have everything in my face Bayformers style.
I don't look at the 2014 movie as a VS movie though, I look at it like I did with the original that just happens to have additional creatures in it. The VS movie is going to be the sequels.
But why is Godzilla bleeding so much in his first form
when I first saw the monster, I thought it was the enemy Godzilla figthts, but nope, instead he begins looking like the orginal Godzilla mates with the giant claw
Giant claw?
an extremely wacky-looking vulture monster from a 50s american monster film
yup
Oh I gotcha!
I remember seeing a trailer for this on RUclips and I couldn’t watch it because I live in America I was so upset
We were all like that at one point.
What do you think of the design of Shin Godzilla's 4th form?
It looks like an abortion gone wrong.
@@TokuAndAnimationNewsNetwork So you don't like it?
No, I hate the design of Shin Godzilla.
@@TokuAndAnimationNewsNetwork What's wrong with the design?
I hate burnt look, the tiny eyes, the tiny arms, the way too long tail, and how huge his thighs are. It makes the Heisei era's Godzilla look maneuverable.
Godzilla king of the monster is coming very soon are you excited ?
I just got my tickets for the Thursday opening night.
I finally saw this movie as I bought it on Amazon prime and watched it. And I like it, and it really had me glued to the TV.
What was your favorite scene?
The part when Godzilla's tail starts firing his atomic breath. I was shocked that happened
Yeah, that wa s a great scene.
Yeah. And I was looking at it and I was like "That's crazy. Since could he do that".
I came here to this video quickly, just in case it gets taken down. I hope you are looking forward (not hyped just in case if it's ends up being a disappointment) or unless you've seen it.....Godzilla Monster Planet
I have not seen it, and I most likely won't until it hits Netflix.
R u gonna review kong skull island?
I just picked it up, so probably.
Ok hay what did u think of ryuga debut as kamen rider cross-z?
Haven't watched it yet. I'll be watching those episodes on Thursday.
Ok.
1 last thing what did u think of avengers infinity war trailer?
I love this movie and if Godzilla was real I could actually see this happening
:-D
I personally don't like the Shin Godzilla look. It's by no means my least favorite look of him and him transforming was also kinda unique.
But the eyes, arms and teeth are way too small. The tail is too long, his legs are to massive. (And that puts the 94 Godzilla to shame.)
And I'm not really sure if I like the glowing texture or him having beam attacks used from his spins. It feels unnecessary.
As for the movie it's self it's honestly a mix bag. Because while the characters are funny I don't think there needed to be that many characters and I think a lot of the diologe could be trimmed down.
I like the effects more than the other 2010's movies, though I'm still not a fan of the CGI technology as opposed to practical.
The soundtrack was alright but it reused a lot of other songs.
And while I'm definitely glad that Godzilla is the main monster, and they tried to give it a modern approach.
I honestly much prefer how they did it in the 1984 version cuz it just felt much more focused and I like the story, effects, the characters, and sound much more.
It's by no means my least favorite Godzilla movie. I'm just not a fan of Shin Godzilla's look, and the movie was meh to me.
Yeah, I'm not a fan of if either.
Question do you think Godzilla vs Kong will be the last in the monster verse
I do.
btw there is a Kamen Rider Faiz reference in this movie, the coagulant they get comes from a company called Smart Brain
Interesting. I did not notice that. Thanks. :-)
yeah, it even has ingredients that are references to some of the riders and monsters, and yeah, it is pretty cool, cuz hideaki anno was watching the show while writing the script for this movie
Guy: Our experts have concluded that it's impossible for this creature to come on land
Excuse me this is Japan, Godzilla levels Tokyo every other week
lol
You know I can kind of see lord zed controlling shin godzilla they both look a like
lol
That did me in!
LOL XD
I'm so happy you reviewed this one. The best
Hope you enjoy it.
"the urge is rising... like the tentacle" lol... legend of the overfiend anyone?
lmao :-D
Thought on this version of Godzilla
He's cool as a one off version, but I wouldn't want to see him in another movie.
Have you heard of a movie called lady snowblood
I have heard of it, but I have not seen it yet.
Thank you, Hideaki Anno.
Now ge the @"#$ in the robot and finish Rebuild Of Evangelion, at once!
lol
I like to think Godzilla is the main character of his series because I mean do you know any other character besides him that’s been in every single
Every single what?
Kaiju no Kami ever single Godzilla movie
I loved this movie, my only real complaint is I wish Kayoco Anne Patterson's actress got more time with a language coach, but still a great movie!
I still found it funny that her translator spoke worse English than her.
If this movie had a sequel, what would you've like to see Godzilla evolve into?
The Blob. 😀
@@TokuAndAnimationNewsNetwork Lol. But in all seriousness, how do you think he would evolve?
Next he would be human sized and like a zombie apocalypse.
Haven't seen it yet, can't wait.
You should even if I don't think it is exactly perfect.
Good review & video sir!
Thanks.
Another thing Godzilla is afraid other than the oxygen destroyer is the dentist
lol
Can I tell you as to why I personally have very conflicted feelings abou this movie?
Sure.
First of all, there is the character of Kayoko. She is supposed to be a second generation Japanese-American who is native to the country, yet her actress clearly struggles speaking English. It would’ve been more excusable if the movie was never intended to be seen internationally, but sadly in this day and age, every movie ever made is bound to be so and our suspension of disbelief is thrown out the window. Seriously, Toho was able to get anglophone actors from The States back on the 60’s in the form of Nick Adams and Russ Tamblyn, so would’ve it bankrupted Toho to get a native-English speaker this time around?!
And secondly, there is the audio. Hideaki Anno is really trying to grind it in that he has a style by showing severely out-dated stock-music and sound effects riddled throughout the film, which just takes you out of the picture. The laziness of Shiro Sagisu using recycled Evangelion tracks does not help either. Why use out-dated tracks from a bygone era when modern remixes of said tracks such as the ostinato were plentifully available?
Finally, I don’t buy the back - and tail-lasers, it’s just absurd. It’s proof that just because you try something different, it does not lead to quality .
The more time goes by, the less I like this film. Just wanted to be honest.
Cole Robinson-Boivin
While I absolutely hate the opinion you have I’ll defend to the death your right to have it
Guy: Article 76 states aggressor country or equivalent
Me: THIS IS AN AGGRESSOR COUNTRY OR AN EQUIVALENT A VERY BIG AGGRESSOR COUNTRY OR EQUIVALENT NOW GET OFF YOUR ASSES AND CALL OUT THE MARINES ALREADY!!!!
lol
What happens when you give the anime creator the rights to be a director of a new Godzilla movie?
You get "Shi(t)n Godzilla"!!!
Pretty much.
People might say the laser stuff might be over the top but if been fan of this franchise you know that the Godzilla series can be over the top
Yep.
Awesome review, man! Although I am surprised you didn't go over how Godzilla in this movie rarely roars at all. I don't have a problem with the lack of roars, but apparently some Goji fans do.
Eh, I never noticed it, honestly. I don't need him roaring every thirty seconds.
Kaiju no Kami fair point. Also, are you going to review Godzilla Monster Planet after it comes out of Netflix next year, or would that be a negatory?
I won't be able to do a regular review until it comes out to video, but I will at least do a quickie.
Kaiju no Kami sweet!
Weird question is Godzilla a male or female also do you think Minya’s adopted
I'd say Godzilla is neither. No idea about Minilla. Probably not.
Kaiju no Kami that what Godzilla then
No idea, really.
Kaiju no Kami I think Godzilla is a male
I mean why do they call him the king of the monsters
I actually got this movie the day it came out on DVD.
Nice.
Kaiju no kami, did you get permission from toho to do these reviews?
I wish, it would make things so much easier. I just have to follow Fair Use.
Also, nice nuclear family joke at the end!
Love this video! Love this film!
Thanks.
This Godzilla movie. The one I'll never have.
lol Why is that?
I'm not a fan of the America studio who released it and I've said that I'll never buy from them ever. But how boring the movie is doesn't help either.
Fair enough.
This was an okay movie but at the same time it focused way too much on politics considering that most of the movie focused on the humans doing politician stuff than on Godzilla. Add to the fact that Godzilla's got more than one form in this movie makes this movie somewhat overrated.
To be fair, focusing on the politics was the point as it shows how inept the government is at handling disasters.
I’m always excited for a new Godzilla movie i was even excited for the third movie in the anime trilogy which turns out to be my least favorite in the entire series
I can't even consider the anime trilogy to be real Godzilla movies. The 98 is more of a Godzilla movie than that.
I will agree the in some shots Godzilla looks bad but in a lot he really looks good
There are some I like, but they just don't have teh budget to pull off CGI in Japan.
I think it's boring. And stupid. The Godzilla scenes are cool though... The only thing japan has that had a 1up on the 2014 Godzilla, is this Godzilla's atomic breath. That's it. Other than that... I still prefer the 2014 Godzilla. This one feels like a gimmick. Like, "Oh.... look. Our's is stronger because his atomic breath is way better....." But, thats about it...
And they're planning on making a sequel by 2021??? Really????????? That's long?????? By then, I wouldn't care anymore. The American Godzilla would of dominated the big screen when that comes out... that's if it even comes out.
Apparently it's due to their contracts with WB. They can't do another live action Godzilla movie until after Godzilla 2 and Godzilla vs King Kong are out.
I Loved your Review 😀
Thanks.
One of the best if not the best of the modern Godzilla movies and I love this Godzilla for the shear horror implications and his destructive powers. Evangelion is my top favorite anime and the production hit the mark.
Since you commented about real life influences of the movie and especially the earthquake and tsunami that hit Japan years ago, I suggest you to watch a videos done by Gaijin Goombah if you haven't already to hear his personal experience and how Shin Godzilla reminded him of it: (Shin Godzilla, The Horrifying Message) ruclips.net/video/4DCCHwUKhrc/видео.html&ytbChannel=Gaijin%20Goombah%20Media
I'll have to check that video out. I tried to be an Evangelion fan, but it didn't work out so well.
Godzilla 2014 day is little better than Shin Godzilla. P.s I own Shin Godzilla Blu-ray
Right now I like both equally, but the CGI in 2014 is far far superior.
Kaiju no Kami true, but you have to remember that shin only had a 15 million dollar budget, while 2014 had a 150 million dollar budget.🙂
Yes, but my point of that whole argument is that Japan doesn't have the budget to make a CGI monster like that, which is why I feel they should stick to suits. :-)
10:24 I think this shot symbolize that this was Hiroshima when the bomb was dropped. And now it's gonna happen again if Rando and his team don't freeze Godzilla. 14:32 I heavily disagree. The CGI in this movie is pretty good. It's not Hollywood level but it's still very good.
What was your favorite scene of the movie?
@@TokuAndAnimationNewsNetwork I got three
Rando team assembling
Godzilla's 4th form raid in Tokyo
The whole 3rd act
It sound like a sound speaker with the original music.
That it does, especially when it was in the theater.
Kaiju no Kami any other suggestions
Kaiju no kami I didn’t hate or love it but the problem is the changes they did to Godzilla . The evolution was an interesting idea but we never seen Godzilla do it. He shoots lasers instead of his famous atomic breath and he shoot lasers out from his spikes with which supposed like his nuclear pulse. Do get me wrong when he show his lasers from his mouth ,tail ,and spikes was awesome to look at but it’s not a honor trademark of the character. The first two evolution forms look really silly and goofy kind takes you out of the movie. The music was good I feel like Akira ifukube scores was nice to listen too , just sounds like you hearing them from a speaker. The design for Godzilla 4th form I love because it reminds of the original Godzilla combined with burning Godzilla it looks badass. But Godzilla in the movie is fat like Heisei series which I’m ok with. The movie is a little boring when godzilla it a lot of fun. With it flaws it still a good Godzilla movie.
How could we have seen Godzilla evolve before though? They have to start somewhere.
I do agree about the early forms being lame though, but part of that is just the poor CGI.
Kaiju no Kami I know they had to start somewhere but I just don’t like it
Overall, it's a political movie with Godzilla. Before I watched it, I heard so many warnings to avoid the subtitled version and better go for the dubbed version instead, because the dialogues are going extremely fast and it's impossible to read the subtitle.
Even though this is not the best Godzilla movie to me, I hope there's a sequel for this movie, not a bunch of cliffhangers like most of the millennium series.
I hate watching live action dubbed as the audio always looks out of synch to me. The nice thing with the BD is that it doesn't have all of the Japanese text on top of the English subtitles, so that is good.
*Y O U K N O W N O T H I N G*
lol
Mr. Bullseye II that’s mean
Gzilla100 king of the monsters You know I wasn't insulting him right? It's a joke from the video
So here’s something embarrassing I didn’t know the film existed until it was released in theaters a month or 2 later
It happens. :-)
5:24 good dbz joke
Thanks.
Kaiju no Kami np
Shin Ultraman is confirmed in the same universe as Shin Godzilla.
K.
Rebuild of Evangelion is also confirmed to be in the same universe as Shin Godzilla, and they revealed it in a Pachinko machine trailer
@@izuto727 That was a game. There is no canonical proof.
Shinji Ikari
Shin G
Shinji Kaminaga
Man, Hideaki Anno really love Shinji
lol
6:56
Instert JoJo Engrish reference here
lol
The movie is good, but the ending was confusing
I don't think it was any less confusing than that of like GMK.
Kaiju no Kami true, and at least it better than the 1990's and 2015 verisons
Are you talking about the 2014 US movie? If so, I'm not sure I agree with that. I think I might like the US one just a little bit more.
Kaiju no Kami yes, and if you did seen that movie. You would know that there was little Godzilla in it, until the end and more of Malcolm dad and his son
I had no issue with the amount of Godzilla in the movie as it made up for a grand final battle. My issue is how one dimensional the son was.
3:02 That's a tail.
Don't take the comment literally. :-)
I didn't want the Prime Minister assassinated by Godzilla.
Yeah, he was actually a good guy despite being an idiot at times.
Kaiju no Kami Ren Osugi who played the Prime Minister in this film passed away less than a week ago. Rest in peace. He in fact lived near my house. I've met him about ten times within this decade. Every time we met, we greeted each other. He was warm and nice.
Really? That sucks. RIP.
Uhm Godzilla's breath is blue...... So that must be a different Kaiju lol definitely not MY king of monsters
Honestly, this movie, in my opinion, is just meh. It just felt like it was lacking something, and no, that something isn't the lack of monsters. It lacked a sense of gravitas.
The '54 film, GMK, and even Godzilla 2014, KOTM, and GVK all had a sense of gravitas in a way.
Throw in probably the least interesting portrayal of Godzilla and well, you get (IMO) a pretty "meh" installment in the franchise.
I do agree there.
Dental plan!
Lisa needs braces.
This movie close to original at least
I get a lot of 84 vibes from it.
+Kaiju no Kami 84 was the film Shin should've been. It had a few similar aspects (i.e., the continual subtitles that identify numerous political figures, but were also not as frequent).
Scariest Godzilla???????
Like which I think is the scariest?
@@TokuAndAnimationNewsNetwork yes
GMK's Godzilla.
Tail Godhumans.
Nope, it's disgusting no matter how many times you watch those things . . . Specially when you Google them.
I wanna see a movie where Godzilla fights and kills this bullshit Shin monster...it's name is JUST Shin lol
Which Godzilla?
Adam Guarnella yeah yeah. Say what you must. But shin Godzilla is just a much a king of the monsters as 2014, final wars or Godzilla earth. And to your other comment, plenty of Godzilla’s have had different colored atomic breath. (Burning Godzillas Red spiral ray) but you know that’s just me. :)
I have very mixed feelings about this movie and most of them negative. First off it is a spectacular film and watchable film with some nice cinematography and some top notch scenes of destruction. The acting is fine to good and as a stinging indictment of the governments handling of the Earthquake and tsunami it works with certain moments of intentional comedy at the officials expense. but that is where my positive feelings end.
I dislike the new origin story it feels like change for changes sake and the early bug eyed land form spewing blood out of the gills annoyed me more than shocked me. The final form for the most part looks fine but the predator style splitting mandible and second head in it's tail are stupid. The atomic breath is handled well but Godzilla's breath is blue not purple and by this point I was annoyed enough for this to tick me off more than it should of in hind sight.
The film was obviously shot on digital cameras and it shows, certain scenes look like cheap shots from a TV show. It may of been my growing annoyance with the film but the "American" advisor who speaks English like a speak and spell just aggravated me probably more than it should. but the final straw is the poor mans alien rip off's separating from the tail they can f*ck that idea right off it is beyond stupid and whom ever came up with the idea should be taken out of the back of Toho and given a damm good kicking till they understand how mind numbingly stupid this idea is.
Overall it is not an unwatchable film but it is badly flawed with a script full of recycled ideas the blood coagulant from Space Godzilla, the multiple forms from Hedorah, the nuclear threat from Godzilla 1984 and the multiple monsters from Destroyha. I have watched this movie several times since I first saw it wondering if it was just a knee jerk reaction and my opinion hasn't changed, when Toho does their next Godzilla I hope they just ignore this film ever happened. While not the worst Godzilla movie, Godzilla's revenge still holds that honour, this is a poor Godzilla movie ranking behind the worst of the Showa era. It was an interesting experiment but one that failed.
I don't mind the new origin story since it worked for what they were going for, but yeah, there are a lot of flaws in this one that keep it from being as great as the hype made it out to be. I like it, but I don't love it.
6:40 is that what I think It is disgusting
? The map?
Kaiju no Kami yep
you should have said something about the dub
I haven't watched the dub. Plus, I wasn't doing a review of the BD, just the movie. The only reason I covered the dubs for KKvsG and G2K is because there were a lot of differences.
Though, I never did a comparison for Raids Again since I have never seen Gigantis and I plan to do somthing special for the dubs to 54 and 84. I was hoping we would get the 1985 version of the film by now, but that seems highly unlikely of ever happening, so I'll have to download a copy.
