Twenty years ago you'd rarely see anyone totally rip this movie apart. Now this movie really gets a lot of hate from ignorant fools who don't understand it. But hell, you never saw people trash Mothra vs Godzilla back then either, but I see it all the time now. The hate the original King Ghidorah gets from younger fans is staggering.

The idea of that sentiment makes me want to bang my head against... I don't know, something hard... a railroad tie?

KK vs. G is probably my favorite Godzilla movie of all time. The 62 suit is definitely my favorite suit of all time.

I'm 30 now but when I was 13/14 years old I was concerned about the power of monsters, fantasy fights etc. I remember when Spacegodzilla was one of my favorite films. Then I grew up and got some perspective by watching more films, reading books and researching history.
But you don't UNDERSTAND! Spacegodzilla is a good movie because he has telekinesis and can levitate and has a shield and Yuki is a great character!XvGojira wrote:DannyBeane wrote:I think everyone says that about every generation of fan.

Lord, I remember those days. I shudder at them.
