Nostalgia Critic - Godzilla

[@SuperfluousNova]

A few weeks ago, my family was having salmon for dinner. Then my sister said "That's a lot of fish". She had no idea why I was cracking up.

[@scotch1993]

I told my sister this joke (she’d never seen the movie but but she was researching Red Tide) and she cited the movie, took a gif, and included it in a presentation for her Masters in oceanography. Her thesis advisor approved, but apparently also had no idea what the movie is. This line has helped people.

[@AValveFanboy]

Fun fact: The Japanese word for Godzilla, 'Gojira', is a meshing of the words for 'gorilla' and 'whale'. Even though of the nine animals the creature took inspiration from, neither gorilla nor whale was mentioned.

[@animaljp3]

I know t rex and stegosaurus, but what were the other inspirations?

[@Khailward]

Forever proving the stereotype that Asians are awesome at math.

[@supermario8989logan]

its because one of the lead members nickname was Gojira, so, they gave him that name, preety cool to have a giant, radio active monster named out of you, right?

[@mesyslexiyesnomaybesp82646]

Godzilla was named gojira after the nick name of one of the people at toho

[@stefanpoirier6810]

They could b heroes!!!! Just for one day.

[@GriffinPilgrim]

I will give this movie one compliment and one only; It's nice to see an American film let the French be badass. All too many American movies only let Americans and may be the occasional one of my lot be heroes.

[@GriffinPilgrim]

***** OK, I think you might have got the idea that I was dissing Americans in general. I wasn't. If anything American audiences keep proving that the movie studios underestimate them by enjoying non-American media, like Doctor Who..

[@bradleymayse]

GriffinPilgrim I saw this in the theater and I just remember it holding my interest but I do recall everyone in the audience laughing when he quoted Elvis.

[@GriffinPilgrim]

The irony is that the animated series acting as this movie's sequel was actually quite good. They reincorporated the original Godzilla's statistics and abilities, got rid of some of the derp, etc.

[@Apostol407]

"The president of the United States gets on a jet to fight aliens?" Yes, and it's fricking *awesome*!

[@loupe97]

French trying to help Americans? That'd never happen! Oh wait, it did. Independency war

[@joshuawillis602]

Yet they couldn't seem to help theirselves in WW2. For a big strong country like France you'd expect them to put up more of a fight during WW2.

[@loupe97]

Well that wasn't our brightest day, but mostly any country would've been screwed if they had been right beside the power that was Germany in the 1940s

[@poetgriot]

Yes, but the fact that they surrendered was entirely the fault of the government at the time, as proven by the massive amount of resistance during the period they were occupied by Nazi Germany. The levels of badass that the resistance pulled off with limited resources and man power is a testament to how awesome France is and was. ~Signed, An american who is appreciative of France's contributions.

[@disappointedbyhumanity2259]

jeremy collard Don't forget world war one where they basically completely armed our clown asses and gave us menial tasks so we felt useful. And in modern times where their troops served along side us in the Gulf war and Afghanistan but also had enough courage and honestly to not get sucked into Iraq.

[@oldfashionedgamers9759]

Reason you lads got destroyed in the Second World War was primarily the Germans shifting from trench and defensive warfare to blitzkreig which none of the allies did, luckily for us in the british Isles we had a barrier of water between us and the jerries.

[@Flaris]

On the positive at least the Stargate movie did turn into a really good tv series.

[@tyrantgregcagkaiju71]

The animated series was fantastic. This movie should've been the series.

[@KneelB4Bacon]

20:15 _"After the creature finally goes down we get that lame scene where I guess you're actually supposed to feel sorry for it."_ Bonus points if someone says the, "Man is the REAL monster" cliche during the scene.

[@Bauglir100]

I would've said "It was Beauty that killed the Beast" before I realized that it was the wrong movie.

[@death-king1834]

I don't think the line; ''That's a lot of fish'' was meant to be funny. I think it was just Broderick stating the painfully obvious.

[@PrincessNinja007]

I think the joke was the look the other guy gave hin

[@Questron71]

The joke was the implied "Are you sure you are an expert for anything remotely related to what we are doing here???"

[@Lazarus_Lives]

Here's one thing I don't get, why would they try to kill this thing if they can just bait him away from the city. Shooting the thing pisses it off and continues to destroy shit. If they just get a couple of trucks full of fish or something to bait it out of the city, less destruction, less dead citizens and soldiers, much easier. Oh wait, that wont work cause the writers weren't smart enough to think of that.

[@TheBoringAddress]

Surprisingly, though this idea makes perfect sense from a military or story angle, has just one caveat: It would imply leading Godzilla into New Jersey, and not even this dumb version of it would go for that.

[@gingersnap6004]

TheBoringAddress So they could've taken out New Jersey too? We could have prevented Jersey Shore and Chris Christie from becoming things? They passed up the best plan ever!

[@theawakened94]

the thing about godzilla is that godzilla is supposed to wreck and destroy buildings. The 4 elements that makes this movie suck is 1. Godzilla's design sucks 2.The actors/actresses suck 3.Godzilla lays eggs and 4. she doesn't fight off another monster

[@arch9enius]

HeShe had laid eggs in the city, and would head straght back to sit on them. And cluck.

[@KingRumar]

Oscar Debäck Can't blame the actors for piss poor writing and story development, many of them are actually respectable actors especially Jean Reno, this movie seriously hurt their careers.

[@KingChiggy]

The best part is that this Godzilla was so bad that it was renamed "Zilla" and the actual Godzilla kicked it's ass and blew it up in Godzilla Final Wars.

[@SonicChaocc]

This movie was so terrible, Toho bought the rights to this movie, rename the Godzilla in this movie to "Zilla" and had Godzilla kick Zilla's ass

[@ASR-Ansori]

Probably the best scene in FW aside from the finale battle.

[@fanfaretloudest]

What I wonder is, what did Toho think about the reboot 2014 version?

[@ASR-Ansori]

FanfareT.Loudest They loved it.

[@akrybion]

A S R Too bad it had to many boring people plots and too little Heisenberg and FUCKING GODZILLA in it... It could have been the best thing ever now it's just my second favorite Godzilla- And the reboot and the Original are the only Gozillas I like anyway...

[@AgentRedgrave]

FanfareT.Loudest Toho had an advanced screening and called the film fantastic. Several Godzilla actors such as Akira Takarada, who played Ogata in the original and appeared in several sequels, had a positive reaction. Haruo Nakajima, who played Godzilla, even posed with a giant sized Legendary Godzilla figure

[@muskatDR]

Actually the reason they didnt show the monster wasnt clever advertising. They were just ashamed of how bad it looked

[@ASR-Ansori]

I agree.

[@JSage90]

Actually they even failed at that! Kind of like the new Godzilla (2014) where toys came out before the actual movie, the same happened for this one. Toys came out before the movie and revealed what "Godzilla" was supposed to look like.

[@liquidocelot5976]

I could have pulled a more fearsome monster out of my ASS

[@ASR-Ansori]

Liquid Ocelot Well, no shit! (pun intended) Shit is horrifying. Specially if it comes in diarrhea form.

[@MrThuralion]

Isn't that clever advertising in itself though, knowing how shitty it looked they decided to not show it until you had bought a ticket lol

[@christopherspaulding9283]

The animated TV series was what this film should have been. A perfect example of how something can be better than its source material...

[@ASR-Ansori]

The cartoon was decent, better than the movie no doubt, but better than the original Godzilla? No way, dude.

[@christopherspaulding9283]

A S R No no no, I meant the 1998 film being its source material. This Tristar franchise will never top the original Godzilla franchise, not even close..

[@ASR-Ansori]

Christopher Spaulding AH, okay then :)

[@Xarazel]

oh, the one with Godzookie??

[@christopherspaulding9283]

Xarazel No...the Tristar animated series based on this film.

[@praxis5788]

"The president of the United States gets in a jet to fight off aliens" I fail to see the problem with this concept

[@ArthurVela]

Besides the fact that the Military/Homeland Security/ Secret Service let the (Arguably) most powerful man in the world fight in an extremely life-threatening situation.

[@Irrelevant402]

12 year old me was super sad after the movie. I was a huge Godzilla fan since four years old and I was scratching my head wondering why this Godzilla was so weak and could not breathe fire and chasing stuff. If I ever met the director I'll demand my money back.

[@knightflyte]

I think the "That's a lot of fish" line was a throw back to Jeff Goldbloom's "That's a pile of shit" in Jurassic Park.

[@christmasworld6795]

For the fish line, he could say 'We're in a fishy situation.'

[@OneofDawnmist]

There's one thing the same and one thing different about this and the new Godzilla. The same: The ad campaign they launched for both was FUCKING BRILLIANT. The HALO jump in the new trailer established a brand-new form of badass that was to come. Oh, and the actual scene was just as awesome as the trailer made it look. NC already explained how the ad campaign for this one was great. The difference: The 2014 version wasn't a piece of shit. The acting (all of it) was exponentially better, and I actually think the focus on the human characters, even through the fight scene, helped distinguish it from all the other big-monster movies out there. Whereas this one was formulaic as FUCK, and in general was so bad that the original creators of Godzilla bought the rights to this version just to have the OG kick it's ass to the curb.

[@PostgodAfterbirth]

I agree, and it's not exactly breaking tradition to write awkward human parts as the bulk of the film. A lot of people complain about the story and the human aspect of G14, I'm like "Yeah, what's new?" Try filling 140 minutes with monster fights and have success at the box office. (Though that would be a movie I would go to see. Twice.)

[@levongevorgyan6789]

Distinguished? That film was Rikki Tikki Tavi maximized! This movie actually showed Godzilla action ,that one was tease!

[@OneofDawnmist]

Levon Gevorgyan There's a little thing called "building tension." Surely you've heard of it. Besides, Godzilla was never the main focus of the film- the human's reactions were. He's there to keep the protagonist on his toes and he does it damn good. If the new movie didn't have Godzilla in it I'm entirely sure people would be hailing it as one of the best films of the year, behind Interstellar of course. But of course people are laden with expectation for something that was never really a thing in the first place.

[@AgentRedgrave]

Levon Gevorgyan "This movie actually showed Godzilla action ,that one was tease!" How Godzilla didn't appear in this one, the new one on the other hand had the biggedt Godzilla yet.

[@Tinkatube]

Emilia Rose Oh come on. You gotta admit: that's some serious BS. Like this thing could EVER be considered good in any way.

[@TheSaberWolfDuchess]

Kai Uhll It is. I watched the scene again, and… **sigh**

[@Tinkatube]

Emilia Rose Yeah. Unrelated fanboy tangent here: You know that saying in writing "Every rule in writing has an exception?" Like how "Rick and Morty" is a torture porn that is actually funny? Well, Japanese Godzilla breaks all the rules of -Continuity between sequels. Each Godzilla film is its own universe. It has no canon. Godzilla is a mutant T-Rex one movie, the next he's an ancient guardian, the next he's just there for no reason. One movie he's born on Monster Island, the next he's a space-time anomaly. *I even remember an episode calling back to other movies and getting all of the info wrong, like how they said an atomic heat ray destroyed Mothra and actually showed footage from teh movie of them using it. It had looked like it had been destroyed but it had not been. It was hilarious.* -Good writing. Godzilla films doesn't care. It's got all the plot holes, all the stereotype characters, all the complete a$$ pulls. -Good Voice acting. The voices are over the top (At least, in the dubbed versions.) They're hilarious and actually add. Matter of fact, the whole reason Godzilla is good is because of its ability to pull these traits off with flying colors. It'll always be fun to watch for me. I wish you were into Kaijuus so we could RP this sort of stuff.

[@solarokcontinuum6013]

How do I find you everywhere?

[@marquiskrystal]

I'm so glad that Siskel and Ebert took a shit on this movie after they tried to make fun of them in the film. Ebert even said that if they were going to do a Godzilla movie they should have went to someone more promising to do it.May the greatest critics rest in peace.

[@JuanMunzerAsakura]

Fun Fact 1: Godzilla in Japanese (Gojira) is a corruption of Kujira, which means Whale. (it's a joke on Godzilla's size) Fun Fact 2: the director of this movie made it intentionally horrible because he hates Japanese culture. it's like I bombed a building because I hate the way it was built.

[@ParusTheSavvy]

So... Like the World Trade Center bombing?

[@abandonFandom]

Too soon, Patryk

[@robbiewalker2831]

JuanMunzerAsakura How ironic, considering that the later Godzilla film hardly focused much Godzilla at all. Only 7 minutes. I mean, sure Godzilla would fight different monsters, but I think him being solo would be more proper if you want newcomers to be properly introduced.

[@JuanMunzerAsakura]

***** many more people have died through the years thanks to the US. and besides, he wasn't speaking about 9/11, he was speaking about the WTC Bombing, which happened before that, and didn't destroy the towers.

[@robbiewalker2831]

JuanMunzerAsakura What about what I said?

[@IronPiedmont]

I just want to point out, those French Agents weren't trying to help the Americans, they were there to cover the whole thing up because Zilla (Yes, I called it Zilla because it's not the real Godzilla) was created in French Polynesia where the French government was testing nuclear weapons which created Zilla in first place. And also, shout out to Toho Productions for having the real Godzilla giving that piece of shit the ass kicking it deserved.

[@actionpants3138]

I actually like the build of gojira better (if you recall its known by the cast as gojira not Godzilla) it's a lot more practical and frankly terrifying if done right, not just the nostalgia filled weak joke of how ridiculous a guy looks in a suit. Unfortunately this was not done right

[@blacksmartie8801]

Yeah, it's not like the French helped you fight the English for independence or anything. And you totally built the Statue of Liberty by yourselves! /sarcasm

[@joshuawillis602]

Yes that's true and because of that the world expected them to become stronger and braver in the future but when WW2 came they surrendered easily. They fought hard in WW1 why did they chicken out in WW2? They basically humiliated themselves and half the world lost respect for them. I still respect the French but I see why people make fun of them.

[@iiiiitsmagreta1240]

Joshua Willis Well, they did sort of act like badasses afterwards, so that kinda makes up for it. I mean, when France surrendered, did their overseas colonies give up and wait for the Nazis? NO. Some guy gave them a badass speech, and they rallied together and became one of the front-line powers in the conflict. That's right - even after their humiliating surrender and occupation, the French were still kicking Nazi ass around the world.

[@jfarrar19]

Joshua Willis The french were cowards in WW2 because they feared a rehash of WW1, with another generation being wiped out.

[@iiiiitsmagreta1240]

jfarrar19 ...that's actually a pretty damn good reason to be a coward, in my opinion.

[@darkmantlestudios]

jfarrar19 I thought it had more to do with the British running away, and taking most of the French troops with them back to Britain

[@ceruleanwalker1069]

jean reno. he is the king.

[@tvsonicserbia5140]

This movie misses all points of Godzilla,first and most importantly Godzilla was about America throwing atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki,so it makes no sense for it to take place in America,and second,why the heck is it CG,one of the best things about Godzilla was that it was all real,old ones do look dated,but some of them look really good with costumes,like Godzilla Vs. Destroyah.And even just as an unrelated monster movie it has terrible story,acting and script!Also,in that scene where "we're supposed to feel sorry for it" comes out another flaw of the movie,you can't feel sorry for it,because it has no personality,unlike other Godzilla movies!Man,I just love what they did to this Godzilla in the next Japanese version,that was really smart.Japanese Godzilla really defeated Zilla(this is what "Godzilla" from this movie is called in that movie).

[@actionpants3138]

I actually like the idea of this version better, it's something that COULD exist, it CAN have the "holy shit how epic" factor if done RIGHT, it's not just the weak joke of how ridiculous a guy in a suit looks, and the build of this Godzilla is a lot more practical and terrifying in my opinion. But unfortunately this is not done right

[@DiegoRuiz1991]

The whole "president flys a fighter jet" _plothole_ is not a plothole AT ALL. It might be silly but it's not a plothole. In the movie they say the president is a former jet fighter pilot and it is a freaking "do or die" moment so, yeah, you should have as many able men as possible About this movie, I think its main problem is that it is supposed to be Godzilla and they ignored the source material. That and the hide&seek going on and a couple mistakes more. Also, the "ripping off Jurassic Park", while true, it is quite stupid since all those things happened way before in horror movies

I HATE OUR GODZILLA Which thanks to how much we fuckin shit on it the Japanese not only gave their Godzilla and ours less than 30 seconds in a fight which the few Americans THAT DID find it good wanted, they also called it a less name instead of the god name they called it Zilla, because they hated it so much. I watched nearly every movie with godzilla in it and found that the Japanese absolutely HATED it, they wanted us to make it better hence why the latest one they had it made by a completely DIFFERENT company. but when me and my brother saw it, being big fans we both literally thought.

At least America redeemed godzilla in 2014

[@annietheenigma8590]

Charisonic558 I know I saw that too and that one was epic! I just wish he had more screen time :D

[@Shadow07Warrior1989]

+Annie Pollack He had around the same amount of screen time as around half the Toho films. It's not a valid complaint really.

[@annietheenigma8590]

Shadow07Warrior1989 How does his screentime from this version make my complain not count? I was referring to the battle in Tokyo S.O.S when Japanese had their Godzilla actually battle the American Zilla. Which only lasted about 16-30 seconds top with Godzilla just winning in one move. It was a statement about how mad Japanese were at what America did TO Godzilla VIA this movie back then that makes it evident they did not at all like what America did to their Godzilla, I'm aware they gave him the same screentime but personally, I think I'd rather not have seen Godzilla at all in this version if he was going to appear as an old man version of Godzilla. Even the Japanese bad guy stated in the English dub "I knew he was worthless that fish eating lizard, next!" That was more of a fact from the Japanese when you get the English dub of that movie and realize, eesh yeah they hate Zilla, with a passion, even I hated it because I knew the actual story of Godzilla, the origin and it didn't make sense. But the Japanese were just as pissed.

[@Charisonic_558]

Annie Pollack it wasn't Tokyo S.O.S it was final wars. Plus I times, the battle took 12 seconds. FUCK YOU ZILLA

[@xgray2012]

I hope that the newer version will do a lot of justice to the franchise.

[@MrWhatdafuBOOM]

Oh yeah, about that "That's a lot of fish"- part: you know not EVERYTHING people say in movies has to be funny, especially in movies that are supposed to be realistic (well not that a cg mutant lizard is realistic). I mean, Doug doesn't go for a punchline every thirty seconds in private life, now does he?

[@mik3gaming840]

I actually enjoyed the "That's a lot of fish." line, because that's the kind of line you'd expect from Matthew Broderick.

[@badatnames77]

Yes, but he mentioned a pause after he said it, as if you were supposed to laugh there.

[@mik3gaming840]

Super9000man And people did laugh. Just because, again, in such a "serious" take on Godzilla (or at least an attempt on a serious take), you would't really expect that. So the counter argument to the Critic would be that the obvious statement was funny BECAUSE it fit his character, and BECAUSE it was dumb/odd. That was the line's purpose, and I was one of the many who did laugh at that line.

[@MariaIsabellaZNN]

I guess what was supposed to be the humour in it is that this line was delivered and presented like a one liner joke even though it is entirely devoid of any kind of punchline or other funny aspect, especially in this context? Aw sorry, if I need to explain a joke, it's not funny to begin with.

[@comicbookfan2297]

Hey Critic I like Independence day and Bill Pullman was awesome. A lot of people do too. I also loved Star gate. Even though it does have problems

[@JasonJacksonJames]

POPITY POPOPOP

[@cybertek3188]

When NC said said that I laughed my ass off!!!!

[@samb.8134]

Gotta thank the Nostalgia Critic on this one : that World Trade Center bombing reference always got me confused as a kid. I'm French and had no idea there had been a previous bombing. The guy mentions it, I do a double take and check again "But... I JUST saw the towers a few shots back? Are you from the future?".

[@DaveSpaceman]

You gota give them some credit critic I really liked stargate and independence day but godzilla I could care less about but I can't wait for the next movie

[@Flaris]

I didn't think the Stargate movie was anything special, but it wasn't bad. Did lead to the creation of a great show which I think makes it more than worthwhile. Though my issues aren't the same as the Nostalgia Critic anyways. Who cares if aliens in that story made the pyramids? What's even the problem with that?

[@ARC9652]

I actually liked the Monster in this, but the movie is pretty stupid

[@Super165i]

In the first Nostalgia Critic Fuck Up video, someone pointed out that certain species of lizard eat fish. (But for the Critic, that still doesn't excuse the line "that's a lot of fish")

[@KangaKucha]

The intro is not good. While the movie sucks bad, Stargate does not (started a new sci fi franchise that's like star trek ish for God sake), and ID is good website it's flaws (though hopefully there will be no sequel or it will be like the third version of neverending story). And yes, compared to others and though some good scenes, Day After is awful and bad if u believe in climate change (science is shit). 2012 was also as bad too. Heck, as I like to say, at least ID last line was about fireworks, good. 2012, was about pull ups diapers... really?

[@KangaKucha]

***** right guess NC doesn't like that either or does and doesn't feature it. Me? While not great, yeah it is a good flim. Has some issues but overall it's good. I got into it and like it. Some scenes are cool. Funny how two Aussie actors play American rebels in the revolution. ;)

[@chavamara]

Critic, no "It can't see you if you don't move," jokes!? I'm disappointed.

[@sac14411]

I know these movies are cheezy and all that noting new , But I still love to watch them Godzilla , day after tomorrow , Independence day , didnt like 2012 that much though

[@comicbookfan2297]

Independence day and Stargate were awesome.

[@fierywindwaker4466]

I never seen and never like 2012 because to me it's scary and I like Godzilla 98 because Zilla (Godzilla 1998) has a cool appearance and done less destruction, it's okay that you don't like it, because it's your state of opinion and it's fine with me :)

[@ARC9652]

I liked the Monster but not the Movie. Independence Day and The Day after Tomorrow are kind of interesting

[@crzyflowrsan]

Micheal Jones of Rooster Teeth managed to successfully make "That's a lot of fish" humorous.

[@BlackOpsMaster10263]

or the nerdy white guy with the glasses reviewing the movie

[@OyasumiBlerd]

10:03 .... While I agreed with most of the things you said about the movie, 10:03 was the most ignorant thing you've said. Lizard eat bugs not fish? Lizards eat a multitude of things... From insects, fish, crustaceans, mammals, birds, other reptiles and even fruits and vegetables. Seeing that Zilla is a mutation of an Iguana (while the scientist didn't know), fish was a good idea. Perhaps they though he was a mutation of a marine iguana or some marine dinosaur (which are known fore eating fish as well as plant life.) since he was often times in water. Buuuut, this still doesn't change the fact that this movie is shit.

[@jubbie1122]

well heres to hoping the new one isnt a pile of shit.

[@superdragonite1000]

dont u mean a big pile of fish

[@jubbie1122]

ohh yea

[@AmbientDreamsStudio]

jubbie1122 Just saw it. I swear Michael Bay made it.

[@jubbie1122]

haha im going to see it in a few hours

[@omarreyes7626]

Alex Sherwood wow, that is going a bit far, the new movie actually follow the franchise formula really well, it was by no means perfect, but Its a step in the right direction.

[@CaliganVoid]

I am getting so sick of people slagging off the latest Godzilla. It was amazing: 1. Its not fair to whine about the lack of disaster porn. 2. Its called showing restraint and being true to the original 3. In the old films Godzilla (particularly in the good films) did not have all that much screen time and yet people are acting like they expected just 2 hours of mindless violence. 4. If that was not bad enough people actually dare to insult a film for nor being 2 hours of disaster porn. 5. Maybe Godzilla did not appear for chunks of the movie, but other cool monsters did and when the big guy was on screen it was always incredibly awesome. I think people have either put the original Godzilla (a great movie) on a pedestal, or they have been spoiled by the constant awesome action scenes of Pacific Rim. If you want a lot of great monster violence that's fine but its not what the original Godzilla was about so its not fair to judge this movie for not being like that. They don't even advertise it like that. It was marketed as an atmospheric tense monster movie and that is exactly what we got. It would be like judging Harry Potter as a comedy. Their are elements of it but that is not the main focus. Don't judge a movie for what you want it to be. Judge it by what it is trying to be and the degree to which it succeeds in being this. The action was restrained yet incredible, the directing, cinematography and music were amongst the best I have ever seen in any movie, the monster designs were awesome, the plot was effective and simple combining both a tense end of the world scenario and a personal journey and the characters while not on Game of Thrones levels were still likable and the amount of criticism against them, I found to be completely unfair. The acting was good, the music was great, and the directing and visuals were unparalleled. Its just a great movie. I plan to buy it on dvd the moment it comes out and might even see it in the cinema a second time.

[@TheDogvader]

wanna watch a real godzilla watch godzilla 2014

[@zandatsudragon8860]

For about 10 mins

[@ASR-Ansori]

Nah, just watch the Toho movies, that's where Godzilla is Godzilla, and not 98' Fakezilla or 14' Fatzilla.

[@raduvlad4429]

A S R 2014 godzilla was epic

[@ASR-Ansori]

Radu Vlad Not as much as the japanese one, though.

[@TheDogvader]

true dat

[@zoruruheichou]

Correction, Jean Reno is actually Spanish.

[@AwkwardPasta004]

When the critic puts in "poppity pop pop pop", I actually giggled.

[@baabaaer]

Sotopolis isn't the one with the punchline. The guy he is talking to is the one holding the punchline. But somehow he didn't say anything. And Godzilla throwing fire? I don't know the Worms of Morgoth are still around.

[@xgray2012]

I cracked at the "French helping out the Americans" part.

[@phabelgreene7875]

14:07 I wonder how many takes it took for him to say this all at once.

[@nekoprankster2184]

This was the first Godzilla I ever saw, but I actually only saw the end part, starting with them in that building with all the babies.

[@chrisfields4092]

So I have noticed A LOT of people just rip and upload these vids to their own channel to leech hits from someone else's hard work. Good job.

[@CJCroen1393]

"They want him to study the footprint of a giant chicken?" Well, if Godzilla was a dinosaur in this version like he was in the original, then yes. Unfortunately, they decided to make him a mutant iguana (one of the many problems with this movie).

[@DaftVendetta]

For everyone who can't make out what Tom says at the end, he's saying "Don't you believe it!"

[@ratguy101]

that`s a lot of fish

[@jacobtyl168]

At the moment where Brodrick tests if Godzilla is pregnant, there is also a major plot hole. THOSE TESTS WERE DESIGNED FOR HUMANS!!! He even fucking says it in the movie!

[@lastswordfighter]

Here's a bigger plot hole. The fact that the heat seeking missiles can't look onto "Godzilla" because he is cold blooded and breathes fire. Keep in mind this "Godzilla" is cold blooded but lizards still generate body heat in some fashion. Also the fact that he breathes fire would he would generate heat from his body as well.

[@Andulvar]

Since this Godzilla is a mutated iguana, he wouldn't eat fish or even insects. They're strict herbivores .

[@Kains_Gaming_Channel]

when the old man went fishing and the rod got pulled into the water there was clearly "a lot of fish" at the end of the line.
