[@HybridMiranda]

I watched a lot of Godzilla as a kid, but I remember adoring this one; one thing that this movie gets right versus modern monster movies is that the perspective is centered around the people. You're on the ground with them experiencing the carnage, seeing Godzilla from a human view. It makes him (her...?) a lot more scary, but also a lot more realistic and tangible. The way the cars jumped, the boats falling from the sky, the chaos as people ran at camera-eye view... it was a really well done film, and modern Godzilla movies could learn from it instead of continuously keeping the camera at the monster's perspective.

[@ursidae97]

I was so excited to see something a little less comedy and a little more cosmic horror from the American Gojira movie but that's not really what we got. Shin Godzilla was more my speed, but I appreciate this movie cared about showing some human level horror.

watching it at the cinemas was the greatest time ever. 26 years has passed.

[@J1GS4W_13]

i was 10yrs old when i saw this. 1:35 still gives me goosebumps. Godzilla entrance was epic. We were used to Japanese Godzilla entrance where he comes in from the water all slowly like Tommy's Megazord from Power Rangers. But this gave us a raw gritty version of that from the POV ground level. It hit differently. Felt real.

[@philippeichert]

Yess

[@dylangeltzeiler946]

I saw this in Theaters when I was 5. Before I turned 6 a few months later. But I wasn’t scared of this version of The Big Guy. In other words Godzilla. Because his appearance looks pretty close to a Dinosaur since I have an interest in Dinosaurs.

[@himaloyshadhin9958]

Yeah absolutely right.this was the first godzilla movie i have watched in hbo movies in the year 2000. I was eight years old

Thank you mom and dad for taking me to the cinema hall for this experience. It was magical.

[@mikethecornking]

I like how there's a lot of in-camera work going on (the set pieces, the shaking ground triggering the car alarms, etc); that's what makes Zilla feel well-integrated with the shot in spite of the dated rendering. Great stuff!

That scene when victor is just standing there trying to shove the tape into the camera and then just takes a pause calms himself and gently puts the tape inside all the while there is a giant monster coming towards him just stayed with me all these years. I always thought it was so funny and relatable like if I was in a world where Godzilla is a reality i would exactly be in a position where victor is in that scene, just in absolute shock and almost dying because i couldn't do a simple task to save myself.

[@shermanshecapio3944]

Before Hank Azaria's character runs atop cars to get footage of Godzilla, he looks up and says "Aw, Jeez", using the voice of his character Moe Szyslak on The Simpsons (1989). When asked about this during a podcast, Azaria said it was unintentional and that a little bit of his Moe voice must have "slipped through".

[@theacechip]

This movie made Godzilla look like an extended Jurassic Park dinosaur. The 2014 edition really brought the "God" into the Zilla. Especially when it had to fight that flying MUTO, which was far more spooky in its appearance and sounds.
