  This movie keeps the Godzilla tradition of having a serious first movie followed by completely bananas sequels.

  It's funny how they mentioned setting up Godzilla's atomic breath because originally there was a deleted sequence where it was explained how Godzilla slowly builds up atomic energy from his core to the point his fins start glowing blue. They refer to this process as a "blue harvest" which, interestingly enough, was the working title for the sequel to Rogue One.

  This made me realize how much I want a Caravan of Garbage series on the Cloverfield movies.

  My one memory of this movie is a grown man going “what the FUCK” and leaving the theater when Bryan Cranston died

  I loved how Godzilla is filmed as if they were actually cameras there instead of an invisible camera flying about, which gives a great sense of scale along with how lumbering he moves just adds to the sense of how massive Godzilla is, shame that wasn't carried on in the next movies.

  Bryan Cranston was great in this movie, I wish his character had been throughout the whole film. Also Godzilla ripping the monster jaw open and fire breathing down its throat was amazing

  I think as time goes on, the more and more we'll appreciate this movie. The tension building that leads to that magnificent roar in the last act...absolute PERFECTION.

  I think between this and Shin Godzilla, we got two fantastic reboots from different cultural interpretations. They're both tense and they both make Godzilla feel properly intimidating.

  One thing that I really like about this movie that I'm not sure any other monster movie has captured as well is how animal the monsters look. I also love stuff like Pacific Rim, but that really has that staged / anime type of vibe where they're doing the poses and the dramatic buildups and all that. The way Godzilla fights and swims really has a wild animal look to it, even the way the Muto eats the missiles, there's a lot of attention to detail to make it look natural, which I think goes a long way when dealing with such a ridiculous premise as giant monsters fighting. The later Monsterverse movies didn't capture this as much and they ended up being much more over the top in style.

  The real reason they used original kaiju as Godzilla's enemies is because each of the Toho kaiju has their own (insanely expensive) licensing fee attached to them. And Toho at the time were probably reluctant to license them out without knowing the movie would be a success first, given how protective they are of the IP.

  This movie nails the one thing none of the sequels I feel ever could convey, and that's how absolutely GIGANTIC the monsters are. The framing and amazing sound design really makes it sink in how monumentally huge these creatures are. I always think of the train scene were the female monster walks past them and you hear its calls and footsteps echoing through the canyon, and the camera is always shooting them from human eye level, and you remember "oh fuck these things are HUGE". Gareth Edwards needs to direct more monster movies because he gets how to properly showcase scale that no one else outside of Japan seem to get. And because more monster movies is always a great thing to have in general
