- After my rewatch of Godzilla (2014) I have more to say about it in comparison to Godzilla King of the Monsters, Godzilla Vs. Kong, and Kong: Skull Island. I believe its the best film in the Monsterverse easily and this short essay explains why.

The style that the 2014 movie brought to the screen, that dark and gritty style is exactly what I want to see in future Godzilla movies and other kaiju films alike. The film gave the creatures a real presence on screen like they are real breathing creatures
Recently talking about this film myself, I'm so glad I'm not the only one with feelings like this about the Monsterverse.
I think Toho is taking a better route with it's films. The Monsterverse needs a shakeup in leadership because it's a mess with what they're aiming for.
@@Kaijuzilla621 I do agree completely
@Kaijuzilla621 how is it a mess?
I've said this before, but this is the only one that feels like it actually takes place in the real world. Every film after this takes place in campy-over-the-top-mcu world
Fax my Man
true. there is military presence and that was when everyone didnt know much about these.
now after they knew these titans and smh no military intervention? lol
Godzilla 2014 will always hold a special place in my heart.
same homie
My man 🤝
Yes
Too
Finally someone that actually sees what I see
Finally someone who shares the same opinion I have about this movie and doesn't bitch about the scenes being "too dark"

That's because Godzilla fans don't understand ACTUAL Great Writing & ACTUAL Phenomenal Filmmaking and Thus they cannot stand it.
Yes
Man i couldn't agree more the fanbase generally mindless and dumb.
as a real film yes, as a godzilla film, not quite but it's a good american adaptation of a godzilla, godzilla fans also like this movie though, they can understand so please do not assume that.
Finally someone supports this film
Godzilla 2014 is by far the best film in Monsterverse, absolutely there's no doubt, well written characters, realistic storytelling, great direction, music was so good.....This film dosen't feel like a Sci-fi film, it feels like a proper drama with great emotional build-up. I wish Gareth Edwards makes a comeback into the franchise & make things better.
The problem is that Godzilla fans don't want a good film, they just want a film filled with monsters fighting nonstop and brain dead logic.
Gareth desperately needs to come back, especially after hearing his thoughts on Minus One. After seeing Minus One myself, it really showed me how bad the upcoming Godzilla X Kong film looks like. His 2014 film has some of the best CGI and cinematography I've seen in the last 15 so years. Back onto GxK, with such an absurd looking concepts and world, how can we care for our characters when the film itself doesn't care about them. At least 2014 and KSI made us care about the characters, especially the latter with the stranded WW2 soldier and Packard (Samuel L Jackson). 2014 does pretty good as well with Joe and Ford Brody.
In 10 years time, outside of Godzilla fans, no one will even remember that the last few films even existed. They're just films to give you dopamine hits from big monsters fighting with everything else disregarded, like the Showa era. Who on earth remembers them, just Godzilla Fans? The only films people will remember from the Monsterverse is 2014, Kong Skull island, and maybe Monarch Legacy, simply because they're all generally pretty decent to good pieces of filmmaking that pretty much anyone, Godzilla fan or not, can enjoy.
Sorry for the rant, just had to get that out of my system.

“C’mon bro it’s caaaalled Godzilla!1!1! He HAS to be fighting things!1!!1”
I love how this movie uses Godzilla as the central plot point and thematic element of romanticized naturalism instead of the protagonist, unlike practically every other Godzilla movie.
@@shockwavesteve Except that's what every Godzilla movie does besides the monsterverse ones
@@tochinomasuta4600
It doesn’t? Godzilla is always the center point of a Godzilla movie as a character, portrayed as a humanized force of nature. His usage is FAR overdone in all his portrayals, leaving this one as the most naturalistic.
@@shockwavesteve Have watching many of the Japanese Godzilla movies, in fact all of them,while not realistic, they do have a balance of monster and human story, humans are the first and foremost in them while Godzilla is the secondary, he is never truly the star of the show, I suggest you rewatch your Japanese Godzilla films
Godzilla 2014 and Kong skull island is peak MV Movies , Hopefully GxK The New Empire brings back the realism
I doubt it but with it's financial outcome the people in charge will decide on the tone they want to continue with
Godzilla 2014 style will always be a gem to the franchise rare and unfortunately somewhat lost
Boy did they stretch the fantasy element even further in GxK in the trailer😂
I'm honestly ready to skip it. Give me just minus one and it's enough
Yes. Yes. YES!
People take G14 for granted so much over KOTM and GVK. It's stupifying. But as a fan, I kinda understand people want the monster action. But that aspect shouldn't undermine or soften the human story. G14's human story was modest, it bathed in its seriousness. Maybe to G14's detriment. KOTM and GVK tried to solve this issue, but fell flat with trying to tie their human stories with the... (best way I could describe it) "Campiness" of their monster action.
But if the next films can downsize the overall scale of the monster fights and balance it with the human story, then maybe we can have something to compare to G14. That's just my two cents on it.
Audience reception at the box office will be the biggest telling with where they steer the ship, they really need to make the stories interesting for people to keep watching. With the current trajectory the monsterverse it'll have very short lifespan
@@Kaijuzilla621 Agreed. Maybe the writers at Apple TV+ can improve on and/or add something new to the Monsterverse with their series.
Godzilla 2014 is such a great movie, I wish we could've gotten a sequel
😑
We already got a sequel to it like 5 years ago
Godzilla 2014 is nostalgic. 10 years have passed, I’m slowly turning into a dinosaur.
Let’s start the Godzilla vs Shin Godzilla beef again
😈 Is it too hard to go back to 2016
Different lanes.
Well said. This movie had a special place in my heart and will be THE Godzilla movie that got me into Godzilla in the first place.
I'm honestly sick and tired of people keep saying that 2014's "GODZILLA" is the worst MonsterVerse movie. MORE LIKE THE BEST MONSTERVERSE MOVIE. now I know that toxic Godzilla fanboiz will start to say bullshit like this:
"wElL, aT lEaSt iN G:kOtM aNd gVk wE dO SeE tHe MoNsTeRs FiGhTiNg EaCh OtHeR"...
"WeLl, At LeAsT g:KoTm AnD gVk ArEn'T sO DaRk"...
"wElL, aT lEaSt ThErE's MoRe FaN sErViCe iN g:KoTm AnD gVk"...
AT LEAST G14 HAS A MUCH BETTER CGI.
AT LEAST G14 HAS A MUCH BETTER VISUALS.
AT LEAST G14 HAS A MUCH BETTER DRAMA.
AT LEAST G14 HAS A MUCH MORE MATURE ACTING.
AT LEAST G14 HAS A MUCH BETTER SET (Nothing beats a real set).
AT LEAST G14 HAS A MUCH BETTER DESIGNS.
AT LEAST THE FILMMAKING OF G14 IS 10X MORE PROFESSIONALLY DONE.
AT LEAST THE GIANT-MONSTERS OF G14 FEELS LIKE ACTUAL GIANT-MONSTERS.
Nuff said.
"b-but the monsters fight, and that's w-what godzilla movies are 🤓 🤓 🤓 🤓 "
I hate to say it but monsterverse fans at this point just sound like adhd drooling idiots who hate plot and good movies
as a godzilla fan but not fanboy, you have a point but you don't have to scream it out like that
@@blocksbuilds2 Except I do, because literally *N O B O D Y* is pointing that out.
@@davidostapenko2578 gvk also had this level of cgi, because it was in freaking night time and it doesn't have a movie where there's legit 0.1 lightness on the actual dvd and bluray copy, why do you gotta force it to people? this is probably the best american adaptation yet it's getting dragged down by people who force opinions onto others, i might misunderstand you but you get what i mean right?
I’ve always loved the grounded realistic tone Godzilla 2014 had, I completely agree with you that this is the best Monsterverse movie.
Happy 10th Anniversary, Godzilla 2014!
Being a fan isn't enough. You need to be good at what you do.
Bro I can't help but emotionally agree, I hated how the monsterverse sequels just completely threw the tone of Godzilla 2014 out of the water, it was a huge mistake.
One other problem I have with the Monsterverse compared with 2014 is the laziness of the sound-design. In 2014 they WENT TO TOWN creating different vocalisations for Godzilla (like the wheezy roar after he kills the female MUTO to portray how injured he is) but in all the other films they’ve just been rehashing the same SFX over and over, even stooping to the level of nostalgia-baiting (another annoying Marvel trait) by using Godzilla’s roar from the original Japanese films (it just seemed shoehorned)…
I agree with you 100%. As much as I still love and enjoy Godzilla: King of the Monsters, Godzilla vs Kong, and Kong: Skull Island, Godzilla (2014) for me is the best Godzilla movie of all time and the best of the Monsterverse. In fact, I love Godzilla (2014) the same way I love Godzilla (1954), Peter Jackson’s King Kong (2005), Pacific Rim (2013), King Kong (1933), Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019), and Godzilla vs Kong (2021).
The only grounded and excellently executed mv Godzilla movie
the movie had a gravitas to it, you felt the scale of the titans, and you felt the shock of the world upon the discovery that something like them exists, it was honestly kind of scary when I saw it in theaters.
Its the best Cos they portray Gojira here is GREAT
the tone THE DIRECTOR MADE IT REALISTIC, IT MADE US FEEL WHAT LOOKED LIKE WHEN THIS HAPPENED IN REAL LIFE
This movie didn’t just make the monsters look ginormous, but FEEL ginormous. Most of the shots of Godzilla before the his full reveal in the airport scene were taken mostly at human size angle and showed only his feet, tail, and dorsal plates.
I love 2014 due to them feeling like they were a force of nature, something you can't stop, you can't do anything about, to them you are nothing but a bug to be squashed as they please. They're not your friends nor your enemies, they're no less than God's compared to you.
Thank you! GvK and KOTM were fun fan service films but to me this was a true passion project. I really don't got to explain a lot because you said what I have been defending this movie for years against other godzilla fans. KOTM and GvK just destroyed what this franchise was supposed to be. It took away the realistic take on the monsters. I loved the lack of screen time they had because every time the Titans were on screen it was special compared to the later films.
The lighting was perfect and everything looked like it should of looked. This is an issue not only with the sequels but with movies in general, everything is too bright and fake. I love the lighting in movies around middle 2000s to middle 2010s, that was a peak era of visuals in films.
Lastly, the human cast was fantastic in 2014. I know there were complaints about the main character but to me he was exactly how a soldier should act, very poised no matter the situation and get the job done. Also I cannot skip over Bryan Cranston's performance, absolute Oscar performance in the interrogation itself. I'm sure if he was actually the main character and not killed off he would of won some type of reward in this film because his performance still gives me chills to this day. The sequels just had comedy relief bland humans that I truly didn't care about at all.
It is just really nice to see more fans coming out and defending this movie even if they liked the sequels. I just wish the sequels kept the style of 2014, I loved seeing the classic villains take on godzilla, that was fun but as a movie I was very disappointed, nothing felt memorable at all to me spite it having Godzilla's actual enemies and allies in it while 2014 had so many memorable scenes for me.
Thank you for this video, I'm glad I came upon it, I been appreciating this movie more since seeing GvK ruin what it started.
Oh forgot to mention one thing, the marketing was elite for this movie. The teasers for this film are one of my top teaser trailers of all time out of any film. Especially the comic con one with the crashed train and seeing dead bodies all over the pace while Oppenheimer speaks...absolute chills
Eh Godzilla 2014 is overrated nowadays
@@dragozillasaur813KOTM is overrated dude, people praise it and completely ignore that the writing is terrible and the CGI is so laughably bad and a major downgrade to the breathtaking CGI in 2014
@@Izywik92 and yet you people claim that G'2014 is better than Kong Skull Island, Give me a break 2014 stans
@@dragozillasaur813 actually Kong Skull Island is really good too, it’s inferior to G14 but still a solid continuity of the MonsterVerse (the only consistent continuity of the MonsterVerse XD) also these are just my opinions and if you like KOTM and GvK that’s completely ok please don’t let anyone else’s affect yours (not even me)
I have the 3-pack of 2014, King of the monsters, and skull Island. I like them all but 2014 is the best in my opinion.
My GOD, you think like me to?! Man! You know what is a masterpiece
this was the first godzilla movie that i watched and honestly, it mold my taste for godzilla movies, don't get me wrong i do like the more crazy blockbuster godzilla movies like KOTM or Final Wars, but i like when Godzilla movies are more dark and serious more like the original 1954 movie rather being a generic monster movie only to make lots of money.
Godzilla (2014) in my opinion, is the best Godzilla movie that wasn't made by Toho.
edit: i also love the soundtrack of the flim, it's totally original and does not depend on nostalgia to work, and it fits the somehow "tragic" tone of the film, like the destruiction of san francisco is not showed as an spetacle like in other american catastrophe movies.
The horror film elements were perfect for a monster film. That scene on the bridge was so tense.
Now that I think about it 2014 and skull island are the only monsterverse movies that I come back to. Kotm and GvK are great, but I end up going back to 2014 and skull island because there just really good movies.
GvK only has good fights that's about it
they feel sooo real
I agree
I love how grounded Godzilla '14 is, I like the dark/horror esc. atmosphere a lot of the film has too. Arron Taylor-Johnson is a freaking legend (and apparently our next James Bond... Enough said honestly 🤷♂️)
Best bit... That freaking "Halo" insertion over San Francisco with the Red Flares, cutting through the overcast clouds and seeing the towering Godzilla and MUTO in an unrecognisable SF... Chills every time 😁
going to watch godzilla minus one soon so I just rewatched G14 , my god how much i love G14 , evrything about it is fantastic
Sorry for being late. This movie gave me goosebumps more than any other movie. Don't know why this is hated.
I 100% agree with what you have to say. The problem with the current movies WB is producing is they are taking Godzilla and Kong, and trying to put them into superhero movies
When I was little I was obsessed with this movie. I loved the concept of having these monsters in the real world. I would always watch those fake hoax videos and Godzilla sightings or cuthulu sightings because it just fascinated me. Due to how grounded this movie was and how real it felt my 8 year old mind was even more fascinated by it. It also helps with how big the creatures felt. I would just sit there in awe of how massive these titans were. I actually rewatched the film recently and my thoughts from so many years ago have not changed at all.
This will always be my favorite Godzilla movie
Couldn’t agree more
I agree 100%. Godzilla 2014 is one of my favorite Godzilla films, and easily my favorite MV movie. Fantastic video!
I 100% agree with you! Godzilla 2014 is VERY nostalgic for me because it’s the movie that got me into Godzilla and it’s also my favorite Monsterverse movie too! Not just because it got me into Godzilla but also because I love the tone of this movie and it takes itself seriously because of it’s horror-like elements and thriller-like elements and it doesn’t try to be funny like kotm and it doesn’t come out funny and Godzilla vs kong was fun and entertaining but it doesn’t have much of a story (just a quick note the Godzilla X kong the new empire teaser isn’t supposed to be a part of the movie which is why the cgi looks like a video game but it’s just to show the title and promote the movie before we get an actual trailer) AND I heard on Dangerville Godzilla X kong the new empire is supposed to be like Godzilla 2014 with it’s darker tone and it says it can possibly have a even darker tone than Godzilla 2014 but I recommend watching the video yourself it’s called Godzilla X kong will be the DARKEST yet?!(THE NEW EMPIRE) awesome video man keep it up!
Man, the part with Dangerville aged terribly! It's even more goofy looking than GvK.
Based and true opinion. This is a top 5 Godzilla movie and you’re nuts if you think otherwise imo.
Godzilla 2014 is the best mv Godzilla movie. The other 2 are trash. However skull island solos.
I always thought this since i saw it in theatres. It just reminded me of all the classic godzilla movies i watched as a child. Then, I saw minus one more recently and the same thing - even more so, reminded me of the original Godzilla movies. I think minus one is the best modern revitalization of the classic movies, but i think 2014 is the best modern, especially Americanized, version of Godzilla.
I myself adore that they made Godzilla super old and not exclusively tied to nuclear war. The idea that he’s some Elder God who protects the ecosystem is how most kids who watched Godzilla remember him anyways
You forgot to talk about the airport scene; that's the best godzilla scene I've ever seen. And it's so short too!!!
Let’s be fair in kotm ghidorah was supposed to be alive alien life form so that storm that it brought with it wouldn’t look natural
I agree with this. I have the same opinion about Godzilla 2014.
The new movies are CHI bloated and they don’t represent Godzilla the way 2014 did. The scale of Godzilla was represented so well and the characters so well. They didn’t need humour or a human antagonist to drive it, all it needed was Godzilla. I’m a sucker for the darker theme
ngl i still didn't expect that atomic breathe scene. realistic approach of godzilla, the fight was worth the wait, chilling soundtrack, cant forget that halo scene. the roar and the design? yeah im just gonna shut, i love that movie
I agree it was good
I freaking love this movie’s Godzilla design it is without a single doubt the best in the entire franchise. Godzilla doesn’t look silly he is literally menacing and that reveal at the airport scene was just amazing
Also godzilla had the best design in 2014 in my opinion they could've just changed his spikes in 2019-2021-2027 into the ones in 2019
best model=2014
best movies, stories, etc. = 2014
Becoming strong, low graphics, becoming animated = 2024
Godzilla 2014 was always better than the shitshow that was 2019. Godzilla 2014 felt like it was trying to be a GOOD movie and wanted to send a message like Shin did, and not focusing on box office intakes. Realism and atmosphere is key if you are doing giant monster movies. That's why I dislike the Millenium Era. Good points btw.👍
and you're a showa fanboy
@@dragozillasaur813 I hate the Showa Era.
I only like the Heisei, Shin and Monsterverse.
@@TheGrievousReviews fair enough But I Prefer the Japanese cut of Godzilla 2000
Godzilla 2014 was the only one that felt more than just a monster movie, it had alot going for it for the sequels to be this goofy and just detached from the original
Godzilla 2014 was one of my first Godzilla films and after rewatching it I still think it’s a good movie, does it have flaws? Yes but it’s not the awful film that people make it out to be.
what are its flaws that people hate is it the darkness of the final fight near the end?
@@LegendZe1-26 my biggest grips are
1. The darkness makes it a little too hard to see the fights but they kinda fix it with the 4K
2. Hate that they killed the best character of the film
3. Hate the cut aways from the fights
2014 will receive NO slander from me. It was taken seriously and brought back godzilla after years away.
Just saw 2014 again last night and... it still hits hard.
First Godzilla movie and still one of my favorites besides GXMG
Agree, Godzilla 2014 is still the best Monsterverse movie. It doesn't deserve the hate it has.
This movie it’s a masterpiece it’s at the same level to 1954 1984 Shin Godzilla.
3:03 the whole terrorist organization thing reminds me of jurassic park or world
Let him cook
I agree the 2014 film is the best film in the Monsterverse.
Godzilla king of the monsters is a shit film by a shit fan.
One of the reasons I'm noy engaged in the cinematic universe anymore is that it feels too different compared to the first entry.
It's like Man of Steel and the DCEU. It starts out dark and moody, but later it becomes lighter and more dumber, sillier, bright, and neon lit. And it feels like they don't belong in the same universe.
Exactly! You can’t defend it being silly like shows when it didn’t start out like shows but instead like 54
I Agree, When I saw this movie for the first time back in 2015,(Pacific Rim was my first kaiju movie i saw.) I was scare and terrified when I first saw the movie, but when I watch it more I started to like it the movie, it's Dark, It's Terrifying, and Godzilla and the Muto's look like actual irl monsters, the soundtrack was great, and I just like the Movie.
i think Arron taylor Johnson did the best role for Ford and was perfect
Excellent review
There's no way it's one of the most hated I remember when this movie spread like wildfire bro the toys fire. Like no offense to other godzilla of films I've never seen a godzilla film sell so much merchandise in my life. It also does have a special place in my heart same as everyone else does It's sad they call this This younger godzilla weak See that's what's wrong with people on holidays they all depend on strength, Power level better, power ups. None of that matters All that matters is that if it's iconic And this movie is the definition of iconic This movie is so special that probably is on par with Pacific Rim Well I don't know They are probably both my most favorite kaiju films But anyways I'm gonna stop chatting it's just The nostalgia for these movies hit so hard even if I just see one I talk about like a million of them.
GODZILLA 2014 IS AMAZING WHY ARE STUPID PEOPLE HATEING IT AND ASO NO EVRYONE SHOULD LOBE IT
Right on.
The villains in King of the Monsters sucked. They along with the script brought the movie down for me.
Godzilla 2014 and Pacific rim 2013 are my best kaiju movies ever.
Godzilla 2014 Sequels = Pacific Rim Uprising

Because it's the only one that can actually be called a movie. Even though it's far from perfect

Nah, DougheGoji is just Fatter.
So glad to find someone that shares these exact views. Although I actually liked kotm equally. Gvk and especially gxk are so detached
Godzilla will gave the 1954 roar and Kong will gave the 1933 roar in Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire
Yeah man honestly watching the 3 other films it really feels like a separate movie from 2014 I had fun watching the 3 other movies but if we are talking about best film out of the 4 it’s definitely 2014
Did anyone notice that the video is 6:21 seconds long?
I do agree that 2014 is the best Monsterverse movie. In my opinion the series gets worse as it goes.
I think it gets a bit better for Godzilla Vs. Kong but not by a lot
@@Kaijuzilla621you should do a ranking of the monsterverse
although being my least favorite movie in MV i really loved this movie its just because it would cut from the monster action but i respect your opinion
After seeing GxK in theaters, I can confidently say that 2014 is still the best Monsterverse movie.
The rest is wanna-be MCU fanservice garbage.
Agreed
I think it's a fantastic video.
Hey Kaijuzilla after I asked for your advice for making a film I have casted every character for my film and have just started filming and I’m having a lot of fun I’m currently only working on the monster scenes so I can get them out of the way first and then I’m going to film the human scenes and lines because I didn’t realize how short this movie was going to be but I wanted to start with something shorter and then get into longer films as I go on cause I also have an idea for a series with a episodic show and films that correspond with them so I just wanted to say thank you for the advice you’ve given me and I’ll see where my film ends ups and I can’t wait to see what film your going to do next. Also I really have to say that Godzilla 2014 is one of my top five Godzilla films cause it was the very first one I ever saw so this one holds a special place in my heart because it was the one that introduced me to the series.
This one was the best ever. Rest ruined the aesthetic of it. 1000% agree with almost everything you said.
I love 2014 but I wish they didn't shove in the Godzilla hero angle at the end. And I wish Godzilla had the first big intro not the MUTO. Still that Hawaiian entrace from G is A+++ film making. I love Garerth Edwards
I hear nothing but facts
Seeing this after your GxK video im hit with a sense of whiplash moreso for myself. The later films went on to be fun roller coasters that made me forget why i liked this film.
I look back and wonder what could have been if Gareth Edward's got to continue with his vision. Ive attempted to rewrite this film not to make it more like the later films but try and fix what i disliked about the film in the first place. Joe Brody should have been the main character and reluctantly worked with Monarch and Serizawa. Godzilla i wont say didnt have enough screen time moreso he didnt do enough "Godzilla" things. After minus one i came to the conclusion that while yes Godzilla can fight another monster he is ultimately a punishment for mankinds sins and arrogance.
So even if he is the restorer of balance on earth he should still be actively trying to destroy and punish humanity. I wont say he NEEDED to show up early but i recently rewatched Godzilla 2000 and its quintessential Godzilla to me (minus the alien invasion).
Godzilla is on screen almost immediately destroying towns and ruining peoples lives. There are interesting human characters whose role in the story revolve entirely around Godzilla. Godzilla does battle with the military in spectacular fashion. After he deals with the rival monster he goes right back to destroying humanity.
This type of Godzilla (heisei and millennium) are the Godzilla i grew up with most and defined my interpretation of the character until my early adulthood.
I wanted to try and rewrite the story under those conditions
1. Godzilla is more present
2. His presence brings not just awe but fear.
3. Despite only being there to bring balance Godzilla still actively destroys humanity.
4. The human conflict is centered around Godzilla.
5. Joe Brody will be the main character
I just dont think i have the know how to pull it off so i haven't tried.
Off Topic but I Prefer the japanese version of Godzilla 2000
The plot in G14 also isnt dohwater. It scales itself in a world that seems feasible and real, not super sci-fi like KVG or KOTM. Also, it has actual conematpgraphy and camera directions that are stylistic and artsy, yet make sense (HALO scene, Male Muto escape, Train scenes, utilization of news reports to inform audience without forcing it down their throats). And the characters are not super overpowered, unlike in the later ones (no way should Milli Bobbie Brown make it out of Fenway Alive with no training and not even being a full adult.) And the situations seem more realistic (Ford is really unlucky in always being in the wrong places, but his survival isnt that much of a reach, since he is usually away from much of the action). Of course, the whole bomb premise is a little stupid (the bomb was set to explode in 1:30 when stolen by the Mutos, and the manages to do the Halo jump and get it out to see in that time), and some of the decision making a little stupid, but it makes sense for the characters in the moment. In KOTM, the plot literally is a mom thinks that awakening all the titans will save the planet, then proceeds to start with literally the only other monster that can awaken all of them at once and challenge the world. How was she in charge of Monarch at all, seriously. Also, we have no idea what happened to terrorist guy: did he actually work for Apex; did he sell apex its ghidora skull; Its so frustrating. Also, focusing on the human element was a masterstroke: why so you think Cloverfield worked so well? Anyways, I never understood why they never had the G14 Director step in and direct the rest of the series apart from Kong.
Well G 2014 is kinda overrated if you ask me
"Officially" he said it was he wanted to step away form big budgets after Rogue One, I believe the real reason is Kathleen Kennedy Blacklisted him, it's no secret he pissed her off bts cause he was an actul SW fan.
It was a excellent movie that’s how the Monsterverse started off
One last thing the monsterverse snd toho own movies can easily just coexist for its two separate audiences and I'm tire of people pretending it can't.
Toho can do their thing and legendary can do theirs. The monsterverse can clearly hold its own and has a very passionate audience who love theses films.
So long as the films are entertaining their audience,making money,and giving people a good time then it can continue to exist as long as many people are happy with it.
That's my overall stance and with how decently successful this universe has been I expect at least another decent two to at least five years of this universe
Thoses are my final thoughts on this whole discussion and I will be rooting for this universe success to the very end.
Monsterverse 2019 onwards wants to erase Godzilla nuclear output which is the most insulting could get, Health Radiation Dougherty are you kidding me.
Godzilla 2014 is my favorite monster verse motive bro
I do prefer king of the monsters but I hate Godzilla vs kong so my fav monsterverce movies are king of the monsters and 2014 so I respect that

I really liked Godzilla from 2014 and Godzilla: King Of The Monsters (Because of the titans variety, altho I wish we saw more them beefing together) but I guess the "Marvel touch" was starting to get on my nerves and then... We got GvK and GxK 💀Calling these movies dumb would more dumb because I don't think they were trying to be smart in the first place, I believe the writtens just didn't give a shit, and I'm super disappointed.
I love 2014 but i seriously fkn hate the rest, i even prefer 1998 Godzilla to the others
1:02 that's my issue I wanna see what's happening. I'm tired of modern reboots trying to be grounded and realistic and saying what if this situation happened in real life like why do we need to? It's a movie franchises about giant monster's and robots their not real. I know what I'm going into with a title called Godzilla. 2014 is a solid start for the Monsterverse flaws and all it's not perfect heck it's not the Gojira of our generation I just prefer kotm and GvK. Those are more Godzilla to my taste. 1:24 the storms Ghidorah making is due to him being around. It's apocalyptic that's the point. 1:40 we know what we're going into when another monster shows up just give us the action stop cutting away from it. It's annoying. 3:09 it makes sense this is the beginning
Even though I see your point, godzilla never was just about the monster action unless you only talk about final wars, most if not all godzilla movies are about sending a message to the viewers about the state of the world or just want to tell a good story, the original godzilla is about nuclear threats, rodan is about nature vs man, Mothra about messing with forces beyond ourselves, hedorah pollution, billable the danger of bio engineering, shin about Fukushima, and those are only a few because these are the only ones I watched but I bet there are much much more, another thing with these movies is that they are driven by the story and characters the monsters are kust a fun and interesting way to implement these messages.
I also have to say that kotm wasn't much better than the muto fight, you saw nothing because of the lightning flashes from ghidorah and it always cut away to the humans, they even cut away from the rodan fight. The only thing that makes it more action based is the fact that we knew there was more going on but besides that nothing.....
@@rutgertd2552 oh I get what you're saying I'm saying that kotm is more like a traditional ToHo movie that knows what it is. Yes the fights are happening off screen but when we are following the characters the action is still happening off screen and we see some of the effects the monsters are doing. Something the 2014 movie bearly does. A lot of the ToHo movies done that also. And hey at least the ToHo movies got something to say and kotm try to pull off the same message just not exicuted well at times. G14 tried as well but it felt forced like the Hiroshima bombing.
@@Godzilla-tu2cd I cannot see what you mean since in 2014 we actually see casualties, firemen trying to get civilians out of the rubble people hiding get trapped in rubble when the fem muto falls onto that building, while in kotm we only see people evacuate and besides that nothing, like we barley notice there are casulties
@@rutgertd2552 we see tons of soldiers getting killed in kotm. As well as civilians in the Mexico scene when Rodan awoken. And we can obviously assume that a ton of people died during the mass awakening. The only reason no civilian's died in Boston was because they evacuated before the final showdown started. They were thinking ahead.
Off topci But i Prefer the Japanese Version of Godzilla 2000 cause Zilla's roars don't fit miregoji at all
I like all the monsterverse movies, I really do..King of the Monster was basically a fan service film that did justice to Mothra (twins was a big plus for me)...but 2014 is still a special one for me..and still my favorite of the monsterverse..Every encounter in 2014, felt major and big..the scale of each encounter is unmatched thanks to Gareth Edwards visual acuity..and I guess im one of the few that actually cared about the human characters..that being said ,I like almost anything godzilla.
What would you rank all MV ?
