シン・ゴジラ | Godzilla Resurgence (2016) - Tokyo Is Doomed For The Umpteenth Time - General

[QUOTE=Linkuya;50862838]I don't understand the appeal of the Godzilla films. At least, the very traditional ones, I think they're very overrated. They released a whole slew of them that feel incredibly samey and have effects that are cute and novel, but really are the most immersion breakingly bad effects I've seen in a while. There's apparently another one coming out too, and from what I saw of the trailer it's yet another samey looking Godzilla film with effects that look dated on release. I dunno, maybe I'm just missing the appeal.[/QUOTE] I made this post in another thread and got some interesting comments, so I figured as I've been watching films lately to try this series again for the first time in a decade. What are some good starting points for watching this series, high points, low points, the movies with the most interesting stories, etc. Pardon me if this isn't the best thread for the question. The OP seemed to be mostly about a singular film but I thought it was appropriate.

I'm super confused about the website's current background image. Spacemen on an alien planet overlooking a jungle? What's this supposed to mean? Is this Godzilla an alien now?

Here's a mirror I found for the leaked Philippines trailer since Toho took it off of YouTube. Note: includes SPOILER footage. [video=dailymotion;x4ovwfc]http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x4ovwfc[/video]

[QUOTE=Jsoldier;50975915]Are Monster Arts quality stuff? I was thinking about picking up a good godzilla figure but im not sure who to buy from[/QUOTE] They're pretty quality figures, if a bit pricy. Biggest problem is that some of the models are hand painted around the face and eyes, which can vary. I'd suggest buying them second hand if it's a super detailed figure (ShinGoji). I've always wanted one, and I don't know if NECA is coming out with Shin or not

New nickname for[sp]"Kaiju A" / ShinGoji's second form[/sp]is quickly getting traction in the form of[sp]"Kamata-kun"[/sp]by Japanese fans, referring to the neighborhood it first attacks.

Ending was leaked (SPOILERS):[sp]http://imgur.com/hnUrTsz[/sp] :blaze:

Watched the new movie, pretty good.

Apparently it's having [URL="http://www.ign.com/articles/2016/09/02/tohos-shin-godzilla-coming-to-north-american-theaters-in-october"]a limited theatrical release[/URL] in America in October. I can't find any lists of theaters, though. It'll be in Japanese with English subs (GOOD).

It was only showing for like 4 days here. The last screening happened earlier today.

Staying away from that until I see it in theaters. I can't wait for the 11th when it hits theaters near me.

Just saw it in my local theatre, I can answer some questions about the film tomorrow if anyone wants to ask some. In my opinion, this is the second best Godzilla film with 1954 coming in at the top.
