What Made You a Godzilla Fan?

Godzilla look ! I was young like 4-5 when I saw my first godzilla movie. I was and still love dinosaurs so the idea of a giant t-rex looking dinosaur stomping on city was the coolest thing i had seen. My dad was a little bit of a fan so he introduced me to them. I think the first one i saw was the original Godzilla. Then I saw Godzilla 1984 which I like the look but the story line kind of stunk. I was hooked for life my cellphone cover is even the 90's Japanese version of the Big G

when i was really little i watched the american godzilla movie and thought it was awesome. when i was 10 i got a godzilla toy at the mall and started googling godzilla movies and collecting them.

I guess what really made me a fan was my father. He first showed me King of the Monsters at a young age and I instantly fell in love with it. After that, he had shown me a few more movies in the series. I jumped at every opportunity I had to see a new film. I have since seen them all and own most of them on DVD now. While they aren't as awe inspiring as when I saw them as a kid, they are still good fun to watch. I can't wait to see what Legendary does with the Franchise in 2014.

my very 1st post what a website !! was Blue Oyster Cult that got me into the big guy properly id seen a few of the films but was really into BOC when they released Spectres 1st ever gig i went to was BOC at Liverpool Empire (UK) and the drum solo featured Albert Bouchard doing this amazing set with a Godzilla mask on and there were lazers everywhere went home and was sold now almost 30 years later i have nearly 2000 Godzy pieces from Bandai stuff to original japanese cinema posters to unofficial money boxes cannot wait for the new film

I was born a G-Fan, no bs. I can't remember not loving Godzilla. It helps that my dad loves these kind of movies, I'll admit that. My first Godzilla movie ever was the original 1954 Gojira. Sure, this fascination is related to my love of dinosaurs...but Godzilla was what made me interested in dinosaurs, not the opposite. I love Godzilla because he is an unstoppable force that we can do nothing against but hide and wait for it to pass, like a tornado or hurricane...the concept is meant to put us in our place in nature...to make us understand just how small and fragile we really are as humans. For those ppl here that say that the 1998 movie was what got them interested...you are not true G-Fans...Godzilla IS NOT an irradiated IGUANA, he DOES NOT blow "fire", and YOU CANNOT KILL HIM! GOJIRA FOREVER!!!

I can also honestly say that I own and have seen EVERY Godzilla movie there is...from the ORIGINAL 1954 Gojira to Final Wars. This is the only movie, among ALL the really good looking movies I've seen anything about, that I am determined to see in theaters. Did I mention that I have ALL of the comics, too?

I'm only 25 but I'm pretty sure I am more dedicated than 75% of you so-called "G-Fans" here.

Back in the day I'm 16 now but when I was 7 I watched one of the one from the 70's where he gigan and the other one when he fought megalon godzilla back in the was amazing too me I love the older one's more than the new one's honestly because it's nostalgic too me it had it's own feel too it besides the new one's they kinda have that feel but the older one's are the best too me.

I saw Godzilla, King of the Monsters on Million Dollar Movie on WNOR for the first time in the late 1950's. It was the suspense that hooked me, never seeing the monster until halfway through the film. I've got all the Godzilla movies on DVD and am working on collecting the rest of the Kaiju.

What made me a Godzilla fan? I guess the best answer to that would be my father, I remember him always watching the Godzilla movies with me on a weekday afternoon on channel 50 from Detroit when I was a kid. My love of the series just grew from that. The best film of the Kaiju series from Toho Co. was Rodan by far, every time I seen that particular film as a kid I would cry because Rodan lost his true love and killed himself in the fire of the volcano that erupted. However, as an adult I would say that Godzilla Final Wars was the first and only film I saw that not only kicked ass, but broke the 2 hour mark as a Toho film. I cannot wait for the new Godzilla film. I am totally psyched for it and will see it hopefully at the drive in when it opens in my area. Do it justice Gareth. :)

I was a kid, and my dad and I rented Terror of MechaGodzilla from the video store. Suffice to say, I was hooked. A giant monster rampaging around and fighting robots and sea monsters? What's not to love?

oh, well. I guess I would have to say that Terror of MechaGodzilla got me to turn into a Godzilla fanatic. After that, I have watched all of the godzilla series (50's - 00's). Haven't gotten a chance to take a look at Gamera's series.

For me, it was WPIX out of New York...they'd broadcast a Godzilla week every Summer...and one year, it just happened to be the rainiest week I can ever recall. I ended up watching something like 6 Godzilla movies that week, and I was hooked. I can't honestly hit one piece of the puzzle that got me into it, but I guess if I had to pick one thing, it would be the idea that there was this huge, hulking monster coming to destroy the city. You could see him coming from a long ways off, and you could shoot anything you wanted at him...but he was still coming. I guess that's why the 1998 film upset me so much: I was thinking, "Wait...Godzilla is HIDING???" Godzilla doesn't run. Godzilla doesn't hide. He stands there, takes everything you got, and then says, "Gee, that's swell. I think I'll step on this building now."

Hi everyone - new here. Could not believe there were other Godzilla geeks out there like me. :) I have been a Godzilla fan since I was a kid and there were Creature Features on Saturday afternoons (showing my age....this was BC - before cable!). Then my kids got into Godzilla when they were young and here we are. Our family vacation is to GFest in Chicago every July.

As kid I loved dinosaurs they were really interesting species and then when I saw the big G I was Blown away.

when i was three my dad rented Godzilla vs Mothra at block buster because he thought it looked interesting so when we watched it i was basically at the age where i thought dinosaurs were cool and when I saw Godzilla i thought it was awesome. i'm sixteen now and i have seen and have all the Godzilla movies except for Godzilla returns(1985) i can never find it

Recently found Godzilla 1985 on daily motion good movie

I remember I was really little and I saw Godzilla 2000 and I was just hooked on it

It all started when i seen zilla (the american godzilla) i loved it but when i went to video store to rent it one time i was confused i seen a different monster on the front and i was only about 4 or 5 so I didn't know better but it said godzilla on it so i got and i fell in love after that i knew this was the real deal and i said that american godzilla dosen't even deserve the title GODZILLA so after that i found out zilla was a remake so iv been watching godzilla ever since i was 4 or 5.

the godzilla vs mothra movie
