Just a guage as to the sort of feeling as to who loved the original Jap Godzilla films and to what feelings were on the "Americanised" Emmerich Bros edition of the film. Personnaly i loved the 54-75 films then........damn!

Who is the most foolish, the fool, or the fool which follows it?

Also fought in the clown wars, many years ago..and lost..miserably..

I love the original japanese films and i thought Devlin and Emerich did a good job with their 1998 remake. I never understood what the hell people had against it--HELLO, its Godzilla! Compared to the other films in the series it had the smartest plot, deepest-developed characters and the most thrilling action. I'm convinced that every critic of this film has never seen an actual Godzilla film.

"When George went back and put new creatures into the original Star Wars, I find that disturbing. It’s a revision of history. That bothers me."

I really fucking enjoyed the 1998 Godzilla. I fell asleep in the cinema during it's initial run (through tiredness or maybe I thought it was boring who knows). But I caught it on TV over Christmas a few years ago. I love it now, brilliant movie. Still don't own it on DVD which is a pisser.

I, myself, found the 1998 Godzilla to be pretty entertaining, awesome awesome effects (for the giant Godzilla)... but it was pretty dumb.. a loud giant monster flick.

But I REALLY love the original Toho Godzilla series! I haven't seen all of them, but dangit! They're fun to watch!
I enjoyed most of the Showa (1954-1975) series because I cracked up on the cheesy G-effects! GO FLOPPY FEET! WOOO!!

By the way... the original Japanese Godzilla is better than the 1998 Ronald Emmerich one...

To be honest, i got so hyped up over the American Godzilla that when i saw it on the opening night, it came as a crushing disapointment which i have still not got over. i LOVE the TOHO Godzilla and was brought up on them from a early age (about 6 years old.)

i was very happy last week as i got a handful of titles which were the remastered TOHO DVD's which English subtitles!

There are English subtitles around for every sci-fi Toho DVD, but they are so darn expensive...

You can get the original Godzilla uncut from UK and Austrialia. Both dvd contains the uncut japanese version. The UK BFI DVD also comes with a commentary which is great.

Sorry, I didn't mean it as if English is the 'America' language... I'm just saying that when the DVD was made the subtitles were made in America... I didn't mean any offense

Most DVD releases have been fine. Have you tried the Criterion Blu-ray for the original 1954 Godzilla?

I have the 1984-1995 Gojira series as 720p with English subtitles burnt onto a BD25. More for keeping the files as is.

I'm not a fan of any version of Godzilla put on film thus far. I did like the '98 film's animated TV spinoff, though, and the novel series written by Marc Cerasini.

My Heather Langenkamp avatar has decided to go on an extended vacation and may not be back for sometime. Not to worry, though, for she will be back - eventually.

I did the restoration of the Japanese version of KING KONG VS. GODZILLA and the fanedit bilingual edition of MONSTER ZERO. And yes, others have done Godzilla restorations and stuff, but nothing really large-scale, like what you guys have been doing here at originaltrilogy. I would love to restore the English versions of all the Toho sci-fi and monster movies with the help of folks on here.
