That's a very odd question, they are still coming out all the time.

And Kaiju only means strange monster so it pretty much boils down to "monster movie", Kaijin means they are humanoid monster and daikaiju means they are a giant monsters or a kicking band.

Now if you are looking for a good Giant Monster movie free of the older cheesier effects then I suggest you give the Gamera 90's series a try it's incredible, for the most part my distaste for the millennium Godzilla series is unbelievably strong but a few people like it and I'd much sooner recommend the Heisei era Godzilla stuff which is FUCKING GOLD, Godzilla VS. Biollante especially.

I could make an elaborate hypothesis about how Godzilla's representation of the US didn't end with the first movie. I could say that as the battle lines of the Cold War were being drawn, Godzilla found himself playing the part of the hero against communist space dragons and Soviet engineering made to counter him. I could say that as those looming threads died in the real world, Godzilla once took on an unsure, and percieved unstable role in modern society. But honestly, it would sound like I'm reading too much into a movie about karate dinosaurs.


Instead, I'll say this. A really kickass plot for a Godzilla movie could involve terrorist groups and Military dictatorships creating their own monsters in an attempt to sieze world power, with an old and grizzly Godzilla coming out of retirement to lay the smackdown on all of them.

Could've sworn I posted in this thread the first time.

That's everyone's opinion on Clover, the monster itself is trash but those Parasites were the stuff of perfect nightmares.

If only they'd gone with the Whale, THEN WE'D HAVE A MOTHER FUCKING KAIJU FOR AMERICA.

Instead of...balloon head.

All ya had to do for the whale was consolidate his three fins into one and he'd have been perfect, plus that black skin texture would have been so much harder to see at night.

The point where I hated Clover was that scene on the collapsing Hotel where everything is exploding so we get a good look at clover as he comes towards the camera and he looks...fucking glued on to the screen, with a body so cartoonish and unintimidating I just fucking laughed.

Cloverfield's mistake was...it doesn't fucking look like anything, certainly nothing intimidating.

Godzilla? Motherfucking Nuclear reactor strapped to a Dinosaur with a little cat thrown in, the Cat part gives us sympathy and GIANT WALKING NUCLEAR DISASTER DINOSAUR PROVIDE INTIMIDATION SURPLUS.

Cloverfield...is uhhh, bull frog gorilla shrimp? And the repeated Godzilla 2000 in so many errors, Yes, Monster big and resilient, but it needs a nice classing threat, Oxygen Destroyer ray, Atomic Breath, sleep pollen.

The idea I had when I thought his was gonna be the awesome whale was something like Ambergris and he'd be spraying it all over the place and then the military shows up and proceeds with the "BLAST IT!" plan, upon which their bullets and rockets ignite the Ambergris which has and exceeding slow burn rate despite being highly inflammable causing a hell fire in the city streets that could last weeks and drives everyone underground where they quickly encounter the parasites from the movie.

That's my two cents on fixing Clover, this big lumbering puking monster Whale staggering through a burning New York hell scape, dropping it's insidious cargo without even meaning too.

This walking deep sea God of rot.

I also wanted it to have a purpose for what it's doing...Clover is, according to the movie, just a wandering baby.

My idea would have it just being sick and looking for help, it's destruction just a by-product of this unfathomable creature never meant to walk in the same world as us.

In summation:
Clover is dildos.
Parasites are fucking rad.
They should have gone with the Whale.
>> No. 32166
>>32165

I think JJ Abrams is just a shitty monster designer.

Before the film was done, he claimed he'd had this vision of a unique monster design, a "new giant monster for America." And we got. . . a spider lizard with a bulldog head. Nice job, JJ.

It's not just a problem in Cloverfield, either. Look at the Smoke Monster from LOST. It could have been this crazy cool mythical thing, but then he has it kill its victims by. . . bludgeoning them to death? Wow, very subtle. Very menacing. Brute force is so impressive and scary!

It's even there in Super 8. While I admit the subterranean creature was kind of neat, if you look in the DVD extras there are dozens of very visually striking designs that Abrams flat-out just turned down. And he went with something that. . . really kind of looked like a mini Clover with a different face and eyes.

The guy is kind of the George Lucas of kaiju. "Look at my amazing concept! Isn't it awesome? Aren't you impressed?"

No, JJ. Fuck you. You wouldn't know a good design if it bit your nuts off, you effeminate hack.
>> No. 32170
>>32166

The design of the Super 8 alien was pretty cool, imo. But that design also has Spielberg's input, one should always factor that.

I like the bizarre grey-spider mash up and the way it moved and behaved.

As for Clover, it's really not all that noteworthy in hindsight.

Has a slightly bizarre anatomy with those little hand things (which are apparently feeding tubes or some shit like that - wtf) and the way it moves, but it's not special in any way.

It's only hability is being resiliant (and it still got killed), and being the carrier for the much more intresting and freaky parasites.

When your giant monster it's upstaged by its ticks, you fucked up.

That said, I do like the way the face behaves when it's pissed off. The air sacs suck, though.
>> No. 32176
>>32170

Air sacs were cool, but how the fuck did delicate membranes like those survive constant shell barrage?

For that matter, WHY was Clover so goddamn sturdy? It was an infant mutant trench creature of some sort. It didn't even have G-cells.

It was a creature (possibly alien in origin) that lived in the depths of the ocean.

I'm not surprised that Godzilla joined a gang. I'm just disappointed in him.

Super Monster is comprised almost entirely of stock footage from other Gamera films. It also contains a bunch of pop culture references in the new footage they filmed, like an exploding Godzilla billboard, and apparently some Battleship Yamato footage. Mostly it's because Gamera movies before 1995 were kind of stupid, I guess.

The thing is, ok, I get the whole stock footage deal.

WHY LEIJI MATSUMOTO STOCK FOOTAGE

Was there a publicity deal? Is that it?

Also I'll hear nothing of early Gamera being stupid, it's the Real Robo versus Godzilla's Super Robo. And it's amazing. :V

Can it be time for unappreciated monster appreciation hour yet?

I thought Eclipse was great and had a beautiful design. Was also impressed Sector 7 didn't have a typical horror-movie cliffhanger ending.

They ripped off Gwoemul, but I was okay with that after a while.
