The opening scene of this is some legendary kaiju stuff. Some amazing effects that still amazed me today.
The War of the Gargantuas (1966): 6/10
I wish I liked it a tad more still. The kaiju effects are amazing, top of class, it all looks so good. The plot is just whatever though, I never really got too invested and while there is a decent message and themes, it was pretty generic.

Send Help (2026): 7.8/10
This film definitely surprised me. The concept of having the protagonist and antagonist (in a way) swap roles about halfway through the film to highlight corruption is really cool. Sam Raimi maintains his style too, with some crazy shocking violence.
Violent Night (2022): 5.2/10
My problem with these titles that "suvert" the genre but just turn it into something else is they often lose the point of subverting. This is stuck being an ok action flick that is also an ok Christmas movie, but excels at neither.

Anyone who's seen Minus Zero knows that 2/3 of the formula to create Biollante already exists and is a dangling plot thread.

Everyone talking about what kaiju would potentially appear in a 3rd minus film and I think Biollante is the easy layup. They seem obsessed with the living cell and mutation in relation to human change. I think thats a layup for a strong biollante metaphor

They should make a western from the perspective of the horse
Steven Spielberg's next film will be a Western that he hopes to shoot next year.

With all the carnage happening, it's hard to remember that Godzilla in these films serves as Koichi's personal demons. When another threat arrises and he must put his life on the line again, all his previous inner conflict surfaces again, they are intertwined.

Godzilla vs mechagodzilla II at 29 and godzilla vs Hedorah at 12...
Never cook again (all monsters attack at the bottom pretty unanimously for everyone is really funny tho)
He’s been dissolved at the bottom of the ocean, frozen solid in an iceberg, blown up in a volcano, disintegrated in an atomic meltdown, and killed by missiles on the Brooklyn Bridge, but thanks to the millions of fans who love him, Godzilla will never die.
In honor of #GodzillaMinusZero’s release, here’s Variety’s Godzilla movie ranking: variety.com/lists/godzilla-m…

Okay, but when they hit this shot in minus zero and the blood was flowing off of both beasts... one of the most legendary moments in the series

The violence here is intense and goes to some very heavy places related to nuclear war and the state of our modern day. There is a very morbid scene of New York getting burned alive. The United States has planted this message in everyone's heads, all it takes is one maniac.
