Ants, Its very addicting to crush ants, but now that Them! is getting a remake, I don't think I'll crush ants ever again.

KEEP THE MEMES COMING!!!

sonictiger,
 ....that Godzilla is in it and a main part of the film's story?

Oh.  The criteria is...?

Oppisite day be like

Me and da bois at 3am

sonictiger,
A lot of Godzilla movies don't have Godzilla's name in the title though. That's not exactly the best criteria.

"godzilla: rebirth of mothra"

just typing that out made me laugh. that is the funniest thing Ive heard all bleed'in day.

Hydra is the ultimate kaiju comedian.

thanks for being obvious

Exactly.  They don't have the title "Godzilla."

conspiracy theory.

Hydra,
The Final Wars poster is on there.

Kong: Skull Island and Rebirth of Mothra are not Godzilla movies.

Hydra, Are you saying you didnt love watching mothra drown for like 5 solid minutes in the rebirth of mothra movie? lol. If you love the american king of the monsters movie with ghidorah I would recommend the original Ghidorah the three headed monster movie. It is a fun time. good luck on your kaiju movie journey.

Rebirth of Mothra is a stand-alone trilogy not really connected to Godzilla beside sharing a Ghidorah as their adversary. 

i haven't watched alot of godzilla movies so there are alot of missing patches

p.s i couldn't find these posters so im adding it here

Kong skull island A

Singular point C

Final wars B

Godzilla: Rebirth of Mothra F

What the hell did I just read... It was almost like rewatching the last two episodes of Neon Genesis Evangelion and End of Evangelion; back to back

I put in twice.

I PUT IT IN TWICE!

So Goature, You going to post an ALIEN Tier list soon?

goatuire I get that "All Monsters Attack" is a bad clipshow movie but isnt it also hilarious? Personally despite it definitely being a bad..... if not the worst godzilla movie, I find it way too funny to put in F tier, although I totally get it that you dont feel the same. fun fact though. Tech N9ne sampled Gabara's roar in the song "Sinister Tech" which I find very funny.

Since Giacchino is directing this, I wonder if he'll also compose the soundtrack for it as well.

I knew Giacchino was going to get a movie after the banger that was Werewolf By Night.

and yes, I know you can post stuff on other forums. your comment comes off as rude.

goatuire 

Your a new member, you have only been active on the godzilla forums and you haven't posted anything thats not godzilla related, so I dont think you would of gotten an "account warning for posting in the wrong forum"  and i dont think that even exists, that doesn't make any sense. also, this forum isnt just godzilla, its pretty much an all-around hub for all tokusatsu and giant monster shit. and evangelion definitely qualifies as giant monster shit. which qualifys it for this forum.

                      DEBUNKED

goatuire This is a very good list, I think you might be the first person in this thread who put KotM above G14. I agree with your take on GvK though. 14 to KotM definitely had some amount of a leap in technology but it still felt somewhat reasonable, GvK leapt straight ahead into futuristic sci-fi bullshit. I remember seeing the H.E.A.V.s or whatever they're called for the first time and being pretty stunned. Sci-fi bullshit tends to be where a lot of kaiju properties fall apart in my opinion, and it has me worried for the future of the Monsterverse.

pardon?

EliteFreakozoid,
The idea of "home-y" or "coming home" is probably the best argument I've heard for staunchly connected universes. A sense of returning the audience to a world they're already invested in has its merits--if done well anyway.

There isn't any confirmation that it'll be part of the MonsterVerse (though it would be cool if ended up being part of the series). It is interesting that Kong: Skull Island made a reference to Them! though...

G. H. (Gman) The Gamera trilogy is absolutely S tier. Some of the best films in the entire genre.

I don't like the Showa or Millennium series any LESS because they don't have an overarching story, and I don't give the individual Monsterverse movies any additional credit because GvK is technically the same universe as G2014 even though they couldn't be more tonally distinct from each other.

However, I do sometimes want my cool kaiju movies to be more than drop in/drop out romps in a world we'll never see again. I think there's something to be said for a connected world that starts to feel familiar. Almost home-y. Again, that isn't to say a solo outing can't be deeply impactful and more meaningful than an interconnected story. Gojira and GMK are 2 of my all time favorites. There's plenty of room for both.

EliteFreakozoid,
I don't really think an interconnected series of films is important for quality. The fact that the Showa series and Millennium series don't put much emphasis on that is a strength rather than a weakness. While the Millennium Series gave writers more freedom to do what they wish, rebuilding an entire world from scratch with almost each movie was time consuming and I think the way they introduced each world quickly mostly worked.

In terms of kaiju films where an interconnected through line was at its best, the Gamera Trilogy has still yet to be topped. I remember watching King of the Monsters in theaters and thinking to myself, "Y'know, I could just be watching Gamera..."

G. H. (Gman) Oh I absolutely agree on the space pollution thing. I love the Heisei series, in my opinion it's probably the most consistently enjoyable to watch era of Godzilla, but it's absolutely full of wasted potential and nonsense plotline. I loved Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah when I was younger, but it's pretty rough to get through now with the nonsense time travel plotline. Battle for Earth reads as more of an Indiana Jones movie during the human plot than a kaiju movie, and while that's infinitely charming to me I also fully recognize that it's absurd.

It's interesting to me that Heisei is the first time they really tried to do a fully interconnected series of Godzilla films, and yet the writers decided to do a lot of coke while they tried to settle on a consistent tone for the series. Going from the heart-wrenching A plot of Biollante into yet another scene with Sunglasses Assassin is... pretty wild. Instead of trying to do better with the Millenium era they just dropped the idea of telling a larger story at all, giving us some of the most and least interesting G movies in about a five year span. Say what you will about the Monsterverse, but I'm glad someone decided to try and take up that mantle.

Cutie Hugsploder Our lists are too similar, you have to change yours. This is silly.

In regards to 84 though, I made an effort to use all tiers with a somewhat even distribution. Even the movies in E tier are ones I would happily watch again basically any time. That said, if I were to rewatch the whole series I'm sure some placements would change. Maybe even the anime trilogy could move up a tier or two lol.

To all the anime movie enjoyers it seems weird that you all place the first higher than the third which I think had the most clever ideas of all three. is it because of Ghidorahs weird design change? the time distortion scene where the spaceship gets destroyed and they see and hear their deaths on the monitor before they die is the best scene in all three movies in my opinion.

EliteFreakozoid, what a bad list! /s

the hate on 84 is sad though. the theme alone should bring it up a rank. 

my brother told me he did one of these so I made one without looking at his list first. I've been watching these movies since I was still in a crib so not all my choices are rational. these are in order of how much I enjoy them and also how likely I would be to re-watch it given the chance. I am now off to tell my brother his list is bad. cheers.

giant gila monster next.
