My first experience was watching a marathon on TV as a very young child. Godzilla vs Megalon was my favorite. I fell in love with Jet Jaguar as well. I will always prefer showa superhero Godzilla for that reason.

You're explaining to the misses why you compared her to Godzilla

Happy birthday to the one monster king! Long live Godzilla!

My first memory is one I can't actually recall myself, but it was the gateway to a lifetime of adoration for the Big G. The way my parents tell the story, I was about two years old and wandering around the living room while they were channel-surfing. At some point, they flipped the TV to an unknown Godzilla movie. The sight of the giant monster stopped me in my tracks and I was immediately riveted. You know those moments that change your life forever? That was absolutely my first.

No. Son of Godzilla is where Minilla first appears, hatched from a mysterious egg dug up by three hungry Kamacuras and is adopted by Godzilla. Godzilla's Revenge, also known as Godzilla on Monster Island, is the movie taking place in the "real world" and stock footage and certain new scenes are merely part of the kid's fantasies. A lot of Son of Godzilla monster footage appears in it though.

I was lucky enough to see "Godzilla 2000" in theaters. I know its far from a classic but that design is what I always think of when it comes to the King of The Monsters.

and Gareth Edwards, wherever you are, PLEASE don't screw up the new film....

If you start to become impatient and want to watch one. I highly reccomend Final Wars. It's a blast to watch. Probobly the only Godzilla movie where the human scenes didn't bore me to tears.

That's because of Captain Gordon

I actually felt many of the human scenes to be out of place. The fights were nice, but they ultimately didn't have much to do with anything (Though, them taking out Ebirah was cool).

If you want a stand alone Godzilla movie to check out and you grow too impatient to wait fro the upcoming movie, can't go wrong with the original Gojira.

This.

The human scenes of Final Wars aren't so special, and the Ebira one happens rather early on anyways.

Gojira is simply great.

They were incredibly special. Do you remember the matrix rip off ending? The incredibly racist depiction of a black pimp in New York? It was so over the top ridiculous.

But I will agree that the Ebira scene was super awesome.
