Re: Unpopular Godzilla Opinions
DAM taught a young me that movies could be disappointing, and my opinion remains the same even after having rewatched it recently. In the top 5 worst Godzilla movies for me.

Re: Unpopular Godzilla Opinions
I think the popularity of DAM is really a generational thing. Up to the 90s it was generally accepted as "the ultimate monster movie" and I know very few fans my age who don't like it. I think its younger fans who have been brought up on bigger, bolder kaiju films that have less of a fondness for it.
Regardless, even if one doesn't like it, the idea that it could be considered one of the five WORST Godzilla movies by anyone is pretty mind blowing.

Re: Unpopular Godzilla Opinions
DAM deserves respect for its filmmaking, music and special effects. Good cast, too...the script is bland, unfortunately.

Re: Unpopular Godzilla Opinions
Yeah, that rattled me a little bit, too. Out of curiosity, GvR, what else is down in the bottom five for you? I'm not bashing you, I just find the range and variety of opinions in this fandom amusing.Legion1979 wrote: ↑Tue Jul 27, 2021 1:33 pm Regardless, even if one doesn't like it, the idea that it could be considered one of the five WORST Godzilla movies by anyone is pretty mind blowing.

Re: Unpopular Godzilla Opinions
5 is Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla (which is strange, because TOMG is my favorite Godzilla movie lol)
3 is Vs Megagurius
2 is Vs SpaceGodzilla
And all the way down at the bottom is Raids Again.

Re: Unpopular Godzilla Opinions
Okay, so DAM is kind of an outlier on an otherwise standard (or at least understandable, in Mechagodzilla's case) list, then. Where would GINO and the Anime Trilogy place?GodzillavsRayquaza wrote: ↑Tue Jul 27, 2021 10:36 pm5 is Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla (which is strange, because TOMG is my favorite Godzilla movie lol)

And to keep things on-topic, GvK is in my bottom five.... and rating by pure, personal entertainment, GINO isn't.

Re: Unpopular Godzilla Opinions
DAM to me was a movie that I remember being much better than what it is. Not saying it's a bad film at all just thay you hear 11 monsters and you see the imagines of the final battle where everyone is fighting Ghidorah and your mind runs.

...but then you think about when it was made and consider the budget and limitations Toho was working with and you adjust your expectations accordingly.

Re: Unpopular Godzilla Opinions
Understanding that context doesn't automatically make you enjoy the movie, though. If you find it underwhelming, you find it underwhelming. *shrug* It is unfortunate that some of the monsters were relegated to tiny cameos, there's no real getting around that.Legion1979 wrote: ↑Wed Jul 28, 2021 2:51 am ...but then you think about when it was made and consider the budget and limitations Toho was working with and you adjust your expectations accordingly.

Re: Unpopular Godzilla Opinions
G98 is the 7th least, just above Battle For Earth which is sixth. I posted my overall tier-list of Godzilla movies on that tier-list thread (the numbers on the tiers are range of rankings out of 10). Planet of Monsters is 9th worst, City is 16th worst, and Planet Eater is actually my 13th favorite. Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla is the lowest one that I’ll still say I like watching, the four below it are the ones I outright do not enjoy viewing.
For some context on how I’m ranking these, it is literally just “how much enjoyment do I derive from watching this movie?” If watching a movie is a boring and/Or an actively unenjoyable experience, I’m not gonna go “well, I greatly disliked it, but they had issues while making it and/or it has important relevance to the franchise, so I have to raise it above a movie I enjoyed more.”

Re: Unpopular Godzilla Opinions
Maybe an unpopular opinion?
I think 2014, shin and singular point are the best things that have come out in these past 10 years

I've got a good mind to join a club and beat you over the head with it.
Then expect something that's fiercer, more cruel, and deadly than anything that's walked the Earth.

You made the right call in posting this in the "Unpopular Godzilla opinion" thread.
We would never look down on your opinion merely for us to feel good about ourselves and make you feel bad for it.
With that being said..... What a crappy opinion to have since clearly the better Rodan is the 56. Way to let the entire fandom down.

I like how the 64 looks standing next to Godzilla and fighting off Ghidorah personally. Not saying the 56 looks bad it's just 64 is what comes first when I think Rodan.goji89 wrote: ↑Thu Jul 29, 2021 7:12 pmWhy?miguelnuva wrote: ↑Thu Jul 29, 2021 6:11 pm This might get me killed but here we go.

Re: Unpopular Godzilla Opinions
I think about the 56 more simply because of the landing at the train station scene. That whole scene to me is one of the better scenes in all of Showa.miguelnuva wrote: ↑Thu Jul 29, 2021 7:20 pmI like how the 64 looks standing next to Godzilla and fighting off Ghidorah personally.

I'm going to make a guess that you first saw Rodan in G3HM. If so, I can see why you favor that look.miguelnuva wrote: ↑Thu Jul 29, 2021 6:11 pm This might get me killed but here we go.
