What do you think of the kaiju genre? What is your favorite kaiju movie and/or series? Also what is your favorite kaiju?

I like the kaiju genre and have since I was very little before I knew that the word kaiju existed. My favorite series is the Godzilla series and is what got me hooked on the genre. My favorite kaiju is Biollante.

Rodan. Because I like pterosaurs (even if he doesn't look anything like one)

Also Biollante, for having an interesting design

Although, I really only like the aesthetics of kaiju. I watched one Godzilla movie a long time ago, and never got back into it. I love the designs and the toys, though.

^ Indeed. If only they would make a kaiju movie that was all from the monster's perspective, none of that endless 'scientists plotting their silliness' blah blah blah to interrupt the destroying of things.

Yeah, exactly. I just didn't want to sound ignorant, but that's the gist of it: there seems to be very little kaiju for your buck, which I can understand to an extent, but I don't have to like it.

But I do plan to see the original Gojira film subtitled one of these days, because I've heard good things about it.

(Though I'd prefer to watch any kaiju film subtitled since live-action dubbing looks very wrong, though not enough to get off my lazy butt and find the DVDs)

I remember seeing Gojira when i was five, and I was expecting Godzilla to just come out smashing and blowing shit up. And then I saw it was in black and white, and words didn't quite match up with the mouths they were coming out of.

Being only 5, I decided it sucked.

Now the American Godzilla...now there's a masterpiece(of crap).

It's a crime against art that the uncut version of King Kong vs. Godzilla has never had a U.S. release.
