Hello everyone

Considering the fact that october is upon us and the fact that halloween is like 2 months away

Im like currently making a drawing of the original godzilla but with a disturbing and creepy feel into it and im like trying to make godzilla look imposing and ferocious like he's a demon from hell terrorizing mankind

Especially that i was inspired to make this drawing because of Mgzilla's creepy monster art that he made on his channel that made me inspired of wanting to create a creepy monster art of my own in order to prepare for the horror month aka halloween

And yeah, as you can see, its still not finished yet but im still progressing it in order to make it perfect and make it very disturbing and fitting for the horror month

Here is my ranking on some of the Godzilla movies that I do considered the black sheeps of the franchise from least to most worst

5) Godzilla (1998): okay hear me out, I do admitedly enjoyed this movie in a so bad it’s good vibe especially that it does have some promosing aspects like in the first act when zilla was created by the French military that mirrors the moral message of the first movie and the moments when zilla doesn’t appear up until her landfall on New York is really chilling and suspenseful and zilla’s design is not that bad but the main reason why I placed this Godzilla movie on my top 5 list despite that I do enjoyed it as a so bad its good type of movie is due to the fact that while it succedded as a big budgeted B movie but it did failed as a Godzilla movie definitely because zilla does notoriously lack the durability and the themes of the original Godzilla and when zilla gets to New York, the movie went downhill from there since it becomes like a typical generic monster with some mediocre characters who have a very boring romance subplot that added nothing to the entire movie and made it very sluggish to sit through, so yeah even if it did succedded as a generic B monster movie but it did failed as a Godzilla movie

4) Godzilla’s revenge (1969): I know alot of people are gonna kill me for not putting this movie higher or considered as the absolute worst one but I do have my reasons, first off the human drama about a young boy being isolated and have to fight his own battles and inner demons and confronting his fears is honestly quite unique and inspiring especially that a narrative like this about a young boy being alone and forced to fight for himself especially even confronting bandits in the process kinda feels similar to “home alone” and hell this movie predated home alone by three decades before especially that this is the only installment that takes place in the normal world rather in the Showa era continuity especially that it focuses on the real life difficulties on pollution and parents being overworked and didint give themselves time to serve their children

And you might be thinking, if you love this movie for it’s narrative then why did you put this movie as one of the worst Godzilla movies?, well if you treat the movie as a standalone human drama story about a kid being home alone to fight off for himself then you could have some enjoyment out of it and be inspired by it’s moral themes but as a Godzilla movie, yeah it’s not very good since most of the monster action sequences from the entire movie is reused footage from prior entries and it notoriously feels cheaper and especially that Gabara is just a genuine piece of crap, which I’m very grateful that this kaiju doesn’t even appear in later movies and the fact that he gets his ass kicked by Minilla and Godzilla since I do hate that green little shit and his personality and presence is just so ugly to look at and his roar is just straight out annoying as fuck and the fact that he kept on being a coward and constantly bullying Minilla instead of picking a fight against any other kaiju, which it makes an incompetent buffoon


3) Godzilla vs megaguirus (2000): This is easily considered the most forgettable installments of the millennium era especially that it does feature some plotholes that are unexplained like the fact that Godzilla survived a black hole twice without any explanation along with some human characters that are interesting as a turd especially for incorporating some plotpoints and human characters that notoriously come out of nowhere like the kid character or the fact that one of the characters kept an energy just because of profit (I guess) that notoriously goes nowhere, though the only good aspects about the movie is that Godzilla’s design still shines and megaguirus is really convincing kaiju and the final battle while cheesy can be fun and entertaining and it’s problaby the only highlight of the entire movie but yeah, even with the decent aspects, this is easily the worst installment of the millennium era because of the aspects I have mentioned

2) Godzilla vs Mothra (1992): This may be a hot take for many G fans since a lot of people love it but for me, this is easily the most overrated and worst installment of the heisei era of Godzilla definitely because it notoriously has a very meandering and boring story along that the human cast is pretty forgettable especially that the main leads are notoriously unlikable, the environmental message feels notoriously forced and doesnt progress the main narrative, I do hated that Godzilla feels like a guest star in his own movie especially that I do hated that his roar is changed from a demonic and beast like roar from the first three installments into the generic Showa era roar and I just despise it because it feels out of place and takes away Godzilla’s menace and turned him into a complete joke and finally my final complaint is battra’s motivation because it feels very convoluted and messy because he used to be Mothra’s rival and considered as the destructive force that wants to destroy nature and hell even the cosmos said the best themselves that he’s an evil kaiju that wanted dread and destruction and the embodiment of mankind’s ambition of destroying the environment but when Godzilla enters the picture, battra just randomly switch sides and joined forces with Mothra like out of nowhere and even worse at the finale when the cosmos said that battra intended to defend the earth and It notoriously comes out of nowhere and makes no sense and feels like lazy writing considering that battra during the first act, he basically does things that are opposite of defending like destroying Tokyo or fighting Mothra especially that both Mothra and battra are enemies, which it makes the final message at kinda notoriously forced and a cop out and did make battra’s motives very convoluted and pointless and besides if this movie was a standalone Mothra movie, it could have worked by just focusing on the rivalry between Mothra and battra instead of just shoehorned Godzilla into the story because of money and all of the aspects makes this installment as one the worst Godzilla movies of the heisei era


1) Ebirah horror of the deep (1966): Yeah I know that a lot of people are gonna beat me up for putting this as my number one worst Godzilla movie but I do have my reasons why is this the case, for starters even if this is supposed to be like a James Bond type of installment since it focuses on stopping a terrorist organization and the fact that it took place on a tropical island, it may seemed fun on paper but on execution, it sadly failed since the movie notoriously just takes a while to get going especially that the first act is notoriously a drag since it takes forever to get to the monster action since the kaiju action doesn’t start over like 50 minutes in and the movie notoriously becomes boring since it takes forever, the human characters in general are pretty forgettable and boring to watch and not even kumi mazuno and Akira takirada can save this movie because none of them gave me an impression, Godzilla in this movie is just straight out of character since he’s acting like King Kong by doing some out of place motives that Godzilla never does like falling in love with a woman or just complicating his life over a damn shrimp and speaking of shrimp, Ebirah is easily my least favorite kaiju of the entire franchise definitely because he feels very uninspired and bland especially that he lacks any interesting personality and his presence in this movie feels notoriously out of place since he could have fitted in a King Kong movie since his presence definitely fitted for Kong instead of Godzilla and I would have appreciate Ebirah if he was in a King Kong movie instead of a fucking Godzilla movie but since he’s in a Godzilla movie, yeah he definitely sucked and I’m extremely disappointed that he appeared in Godzilla final wars since out of all of the kaijus that toho could have used in that movie like gorosaurus, Varan and even baragon but they instead just choose the most uninspired and mediocre kaiju that doesnt fit in the Godzilla franchise and I was grateful that he gets his ass kicked in that movie and my final complaint is that I don’t like that Mothra feels more like an afterthought despite being a mayor player in the movie since she just takes forever to wake up and only woke up at the end and rescues the characters and thats it, which it kinda feels like a wasted potential for a kaiju that’s supposed to be helpful but most of the time kept on being incapacitated throught the entire first act and yeah I do personally agree with “firewood media” about this movie on being considered as one of the worst Godzilla films ever made and yeah, I’m sad to say that this easily my least favorite Godzilla movie and the worst of the entire franchise because of how boring and uninspired it is from it’s mediocre and tedious narrative, uninteresting characters, the kaijus are either poorly treated in personality and presence and it’s just a snoozefest to sit through becuase of how dull the pacing really is

You know, after seeing the atrocious trailer by the asylum titled “Jurassic rampage” that movie notoriously made primitive war look like “citizen Kane” or “apocalypse now” (yeah I said it)

Especially of how godawful the CGI looks especially with the ugly looking cover that felt like asylum used AI to make and its so bad and honestly, i feel like I owe Luke sparke an apology

(yeah I get that primitive war had a controversial production especially with the sexual allegations but at least the filmmakers on that movie put more effort in that movie especially that they did took their time to make it compare to what asylum does here)

And speaking of dinosaurs, I’m definitely looking foward to Watch “at the of oak street” since it does look convincing in terms of premise and the dinosaurs In general do look pretty good

Just recently watched toho’s 1963 scifi conspiracy kaiju film “atragon”

And I do admit after seeing this movie, it’s honestly by far one of toho’s underrated films alongside the mysterians especially that it does have genuine interesting aspects about the movie that makes it worthviewing

I do appreciate the film for it’s conspiracy storyline that revolves around a mysterious underground continent who wanted to take over the world after being buried and forgotten under the ocean for thousands of years especially for also worshiping a guardian named “manda” especially that the movie did a good job for having it’s strong build up on the strange actions that occurred during the first act up until the truth is revealed when the tribe unleashed their attack with their submarines on passing ships and causing destruction worldwide by causing natural disasters

The other aspect about the movie is the moral message of letting go of hour past and move on since the mayor focus of the story is about the past coming back to haunt mankind especially during the middle half of the film when the daughter of the captain of gotengo called him out of being obsessed with his past during world war 2 and tells him that the future is more important, which that moment between the two does make me cry because of how emotional it feels and does add up with the film’s moral message and does develop character arc of the captain of the gotengo

The special effects are honestly kinda a mix bag at best, for the positive note, I do love the gotengo and do considered it a very iconic military vehicle and the moments when it’s on screen are very stunning and impressive especially that the sequences that features it in either in the air or the ocean are done very well and does feel very realistic and groundbreaking and the moments when the miniature Tokyo gets destroyed is very outstanding and perfect

My biggest nitpick about the special effects is honestly when manda is on screen, I mean I love manda but I feel like his debut film wasnt to impactful since his effects shoots are kinda wonky at times and does make the final battle kinda overwhelming

And now for my criticisms about the movie, I had already explained that the special effects on manda are kinda a mix bag since they are notoriously wonky but the film also suffers from having a bizarre tone that clashed with the scifi conspiracy vibe of the film like the infamous opening sequence with the photo magazine part when the characters forced an actress to undress herself in order to be put in an adult magazine, which to me feels kinda bizarre and out of nowhere especially that feels like the movie notoriously went to a different genre with the likes of “pink films” especially that some moments like when the characters discussed on having an actress be quote and unquote “nude” makes me wonder how lucky toho really is when doing that sequence especially that they got lucky that the movie never got an X rating or something and besides, the whole subplot does notorious go nowhere which no wonder this sequence feels very out of place

My other problem with the movie is the final battle and ending, since it feels very anticlimactic due to the fact that the moment when the gotengo and manda confronted each other, I was expecting that it was gonna be an entertaining final boss fight and the fact that I was expecting that manda is gonna be as powerful as i expected but unfortunately, the battle notoriously only lasted very shortly expecially that manda was obbliterated by the gotengo pretty easily, which yeah, so much for being a Guadian of the mu continental since he could not beat a freaking submarine and the final act when the empress enters the submarine for like no reason and suddenly decided to commit suicide with the destruction of the continent, which it begs the question, why did she joined the gotengo if she knew that she’s part of the mu continent

Overall, “Atragon” is considered one of toho’s underrated movies for it’s conspiracy storyline along with the film’s moral message of letting go of your past and move on, the visual effects on the gotengo and the miniature buildings being destroyed are outstanding to look at, though the film does suffer from having a bizarre tone clashes especially even an out of place subplot at the beginning, some clunky effect shoots of manda and a very anticlimactic final battle

(9/10)

Here is my ranking of the millennium era of Godzilla (and yes I’m including the 1998 Roland emmerich film since that movie was notoriously referenced in Gmk)

7) Godzilla vs megaguirus (2000): Easily by far the weakest and the worst installment of the era due to the fact that it has a very predictable and boring story with some notoriously plotholes that lead to nothing including some ones that are extremely blaffing and dumb like the fact that Godzilla survived a black hole twice or when the soldiers used bazookas to stop Godzilla during the opening sequence and the characters are notoriously flat, even if it does have its highlights like the action sequences and the kaiju designs are great but the film is still forgettable and it’s easily the black sheep of the millennium era

(4.5/10)

6) Godzilla (1998): this may be a hot take on preferring the 1998 emmerich film over Godzilla vs megaguirus but I do have reasons why, it’s due to the fact that I do find this movie to be entertaining in a so bad it’s good way especially that it does have some aspects that are quite promising like the first act when zilla wasnt revealed up moment when zilla arrived on New York and the opening credits felt like it tried to homage the original but the movie notoriously started to go downhill during the second act especially that the movie notoriously focused on some boring and two dimensional characters that are interesting as a turd and even if it did succedded as a big budgeted B movie especially that zilla doesnt look all that bad but as a Godzilla movie, yeah it’s pretty bad and zilla does lack the durability and themes of the original Godzilla

(6.5/10) or (7/10)

5) Godzilla 2000 (1999): A pretty average Godzilla movie that does have some aspects that I do appreciate and others that I do not, I do like Godzilla’s design especially that he does look cool with the purple spines and a green color on his body and his roar in this movie is pretty marvelous to hear along that his atomic breath is pretty unique and beautiful to look at and orga in general, does look cool especially that his origin on being an alien kaiju is kinda interesting and the action scenes are fun and exciting, though the film suffers from having a very generic story along with a dumb and goofy premise of a Godzilla group that chases him down in like something out of twister and the villain’s motivation of trying to kill Godzilla is pretty meandering and the characters in general are nothing to write home about

(8/10) or (8.5/10)

4) Godzilla Tokyo SOS (2003): Do admitedly find this second installment of the kiryu saga to be either underrated and forgettable, for the positive note, I do like the inclusion of Mothra and the twins and the premise and themes of mankind’s ambition of using kiryu as a weapon and the twins warned mankind of playing god is promising but the film feels kinda forgettable since the movie feels like a rehash of Godzilla against mechagodzilla but with the inclusion of Mothra into the mix and it’s no hard to see why becuase the climax along with the ending felt similar but done again with Mothra and it can be easily confusing depending on comparing the two films and the characters are kinda flat

(8.5/10) or (9/10)

3) Godzilla final wars (2004): Definitely by far one of the most bizarre and insane installments of the millennium era along for being considered the most dumbest and ridiculous entries of the era, since the narrative along for the lore are notoriously absurd and all over the place especially that the film notoriously lacked any continuity and does feature alot of plotpoints that do come out of nowhere with no context especially the kaiju themselves that also suffered the same problem as the narrative due to lack any context despite being mind controlled but that doesnt explain in where they originally come from while they do look cool in general but I do gotta admit that I did have fun with this final installment especially that it’s easily by far the most enjoyable in a B movie feel similar to maximum overdrive especially that it does feature some entertaining action sequences and fun character dynamics (though miyuki is easily considered an eye candy throughout the entire movie and dont ask me why 😏😏😏😘😘😘) and Godzilla’s design while not my favorite does look badass and again, the kaijus in terms of design are very well made and the soundtrack is easily by far very bombastic and catchy

(9/10)

2) Godzilla against mechagodzilla (2002): Definitely one of the most underrated installments of the millennium era especially for being my personal favorite of the kiryu saga since I do do find the narrative along with the lore to be really fascinating and engaging along with the idea of putting the original Godzilla’s bones inside of kiryu that definitely feels like this movie is a kaijufied version of robocop because of it’s premise of putting an organism inside of a mechanical suit especially that I do appreciate that this film along with Tokyo SOS have a strong and interesting continuity since not only are they direct sequels of the original but also other movies like Mothra, war of the gargantuas or space amoeba and the characters in general are actually very likable and relatable especially that pretty much all of them have their own unique personality that makes them standout

(9.5/10) or (10/10)

1) GMK (2001): Easily by far the best installment of the millennium era and it’s no hard to see why because of its interesting yet fascinating premise of kaijufied version of John carpenter’s the fog and you can tell why I said it since this movie compare to the other installments is a supernatural ghost story about revenge and guilt especially that Godzilla in this movie is pure evil and malicious and most of the entire movie kept on acting like a sociopath or a serial killer since he was created by the souls of world war 2 who wanted to punish japan for their war crimes back during their war crimes and this Godzilla is easily considered one the creepiest in terms of design and motives since he felt he’s possessed by a demon and you can tell because of his eyes especially that he basically knew that he’s killing people with no remorse like he’s enjoying it and speaking of supernatural, I do like the idea of guardian monsters lik baragon, Mothra and king Ghidorah who are used to defend japan from evil threats similar to Daimajin and how the fact that they tried their best to try and stop the evil Godzilla from punishing japan only to get brutally obbliterated by him but I do appreciate their arcs for at least still won’t go out without a fight and the human characters are very likable and all of them do have their own arcs and personalities that actually progressed the story (especially yuri, which she feels very charming, charismatic and very gorgeous 😘😘😘)

(10/10)

just recently finished rewatching the 2023 scifi horror reboot of the Godzilla franchise titled “Godzilla minus one”

And I do gotta admit, considering that I used to remember watching this movie like 3 years ago during the film’s theatrical release along with some friends and I do remember liking it and considered a fun film but I didint think to much of it in terms of its narrative and themes since I wasnt as much as a cinephile back then compare to nowadays

But after giving this movie a rewatch especially that i also analysed the film deeply, I soon started to realize that this movie has alot aspects that hold up pretty well and I do admitedly appreciate the movie for what it’s trying to be in terms of narrative and themes especially that these aspects that i praise makes it one of my all time favorite Godzilla movies and for also being one of the best modern day movies that actually dominated the modern day film industry especially ever crushing famous blockbusters at the time like the Dwayne Johnson movies like rampage or red one or even the trashy modern Disney remakes

Especially that the movie feels like a remake or reboot of the original Godzilla movie but the big difference that it took place directly after the end of the second world war and how it focuses on the living conditions of the Japanese people after the second world war especially the nuclear bomb attacks on Hiroshima and nagasaki and how those events completely haunted japan and made the people live in harsh conditions because of the consequences that the Japanese government had committed during war time and their arrogance that lead their country into ruins especially that the nuclear bomb attacks felt like a punishment to japan if they tried to be arrogant and won’t surrender and of course, it lead japan into financial ruins because of it and Godzilla’s presence just like in the original movie felt like he’s the devil’s envoy that was sent to punish not just japan but also humanity in general for their arrogance of playing god with nuclear weapons and for committing war crimes especially that the movie revolves around the themes of revenge and guilt because of koichi’s guilt of never killing himself in a kamikaze mission or when he never saved his friends when Godzilla appeared and when he wanted personal revenge on Godzilla after assuming that he killed noriko and went out of his way to kill him to avenge his wife

The characters are easily very likable and relatable especially that I do appreciate the cast for their amazing performances especially that their presence definitely stole the show becuase of how sympathetic and relatable their are depicted especially for having arcs that makes them likable to root for them especially that their dynamics in the movie made the film very watchable and engaging like koichi and noriko’s dynamic for example since both of them are very likable towards each other and how their dynamic is very sweet and relatable especially that they helped each other’s backs whatever they get into dark situations like when koichi has his ptsd of the traumatic events that he witnessed like the second world war or the first Godzilla attack on the island and pretty much everyone around him see him as a traitor or a loser and his wife basically tried to calm him down and get over the traumatic nightmare and she feels like the only one that understands his personal struggles and goes out of her way to make him feel safe and happy, which is nice of her to be exact

Especially that the movie has alot of emotional moments that are actually very effective especially some moments that actually made me cry or depressed and these aspects made this movie a modern day masterpiece

And now for the special effects and Godzilla in general, they are definitely well made and they still look very amazing to this very day and considering that this movie has a lower budget, it’s honestly amazing that this movie managed to succeed even with a lower budget and how it’s incredible that the movie did a perfect job of recreating the 1940s vibe along that Godzilla in general looked very menacing and incredible

And considering that the movie have a won an oscar definitely showed of how amazing and great this movie really is because of the aspects I have mentioned like the narrative and the outstanding visual effects

And since the fact that I finally managed to rewatch this movie recently just to prepare for the hype of the movie’s 2026 sequel “Godzilla minus zero”, I’m so freaking pumped to watch the sequel especially that I do remember that the sequel is gonna incorporate an American actor in it especially a celebrity in it along that Godzilla is gonna make landfall on New York City, my money would definitely be on Christopher Lloyd, Mel Gibson and even Christian bale

Overall, Godzilla minus one is easily considered as one of the best Godzilla films ever made and also for being one of the best modern day movies ever made especially for actually crushing modern day blockbusters, since the film has a very well made narrative along with some likable characters and some relatable and darker themes and the visual effects along with Godzilla himself are very stunning and incredible to look at
