Godzilla movies are awful and awesome at the same time…

That's what makes them great.

I like bad movies. I don't like bad movies that are boring. Making them fun is the key.



Edit: I'm a broken record on this topic. An old post from several years ago when another Godzilla flick was coming out:

I want to like Godzilla movies, but they all suffer from the same problem - too many scenes of boring humans and not enough monster action.





My favorite kaiju flicks:

King Kong Escapes (1967)

It plays out like a combination of James Bond, a 1960s Marvel Comics, and a Japanese monster movie. Entertaining from start to finish. It looks cheap as hell though.

Daimajin (1966)

The boring human parts aren't really all that boring. Sort of an Edo period historical thing with a badass monster wrecking havoc in the last act.

The War of the Gargantuas (1966)

Lots of action in this one. Actually a sequel to the infamous Frankenstein Conquers the World (1965)

But i don't find awesome CGI an 'splosions boring. I do find all the filler story boring. Like, lets hurry up and move past this lame setup so we can watch King Kong chuck a train at Godzilla please, thanks.

Lets destroy some cities, have some badass monster battles, some kick ass 'splosions and call it a day.

I think it would help if the fight scenes were more creative. Seeing Godzilla smash a building for the millionth time is like watching a wrestling match from the 1950s.

You need the spectacle of unique things getting destroyed in an interesting ways.

And If you are going to show "ordinary" things being destroyed I think it would help to show those things from a human pov. That's something that is already done of course, but It's rarely done well. You need a horror/suspense style mindset to really put those scenes across.
