Where does this one rank on your list of the Godzilla series? Do you think it's one of the worst, or is it underrated?
On the later end, the worst of the meluimum era but not the worst film
definitely one of the worst in my book, especially in the millennium era
it is quite underrated, yet also mid. it is the best design for a godzilla in my opinion though.
the "worst" crown is being shared by both godzilla's revenge and '98 (but mainly revenge)
i do not think there will be anyone dethroning them any time soon
I enjoyed it especially the little bit of bug horror we got from the dumpster scene 🤣
17:25 *FOOTAGE FLAGGED BY TOHO* - Megaguirus's one true weakness!
It's more like my channel's weakness (at least when it comes to Godzilla stuff).
@@TheBrandonTenold *comment flagged by toho*
They say that every time Brandon makes a Godzilla movie review a Toho lawyer earns his yearly bonus.
Maybe that's why he only does them at Christmas now.
@@LovlyHorror Then their Santa is like: TO- HO- HO.
🤦♀️😹😹😹
😆
After months of having nothing of Brandon’s show up in my sub feed, the first thing I see is MvG. Truly, this is a sign.
Mothra?
Ehhh it’s GvM ok ehhh.
THIS LITERALLY THE EAXCT SME THING THAT HAPPENED TO ME OMG
The algorithm knows you too well.
ye
If it walks like a Kenny, whines like a Kenny, acts like a Kenny, it's a Kenny, dammit!! 😂
damn straight.
Stan: Oh, My God! It's a KENNY!
Kyle: You bastards!
Cartman: Oh, Got damn it. I hate Kennys.
Kenny: (Muffled) Hey!
4:59 Fun Fact: The male game show host is played by Koichi Yamadera who is a famous voice actor in Japan who's done Spike Spiegel, Zenigata, Beerus and etc.
Beerus!?
So Godzilla really is stronger than goku
He was also The Great Leader of Shocker from the original Kamen Rider
he's voice of Kaji from Eva, Cheese from Anpampan, etc
@SerbianLifter997 hey he was in battle of gods first
The last scene is CLEARLY Godzilla coming for the Kenny. He knows whose fault this was
Feeding gremlins, taking the necronomicon without saying the right words, dumping monster eggs into the sewer, where would the genre be without having Kennies in the plot?
Godzilla going after the Kenny? NO ONE STOP HIM!
Megaguiris used swift followed by poison tail.
It was Super Effective.
Godzilla used Cut followed by body slam.
It was Super Effective.
Beat me to it
That's right, Megahuirus is so weak, normal moves are super effective against it.
Must be a unique ability.
Lou Thesz Press!
Where's the Sonic Attacks? And Energy/Health Drain?
"Godzilla is attacking the generator. The generator is losing power."
AngryJoe loses his mind.
Avgn hates the fact the good Godzilla games are after his time
@@genesismultiverse4896 angry Joe and James from avgn are two completely different people lol
@@anguishedcarpet both did a crossover with the nostalgia critic
I love how you can see spyro the dragon, Pikachu, and donkey kong plushies in the background during the japanese tv show scene
@@k-trashradio5163 and I think I saw R2-D2 along them.
If I remember right, the cutting framerate during the battle was actually an attempt to show how Megaguirus sees things, so basically low framerate, she sees things slow with her hyperspeed.
That's what I always thought when I first saw this movie? Glad to know I was correct.
It's not. That's what effects director Kenji Suzuki claimed it was-- but it was really some mistake with the camera that he lied about. And it got him fired from Toho.
A Brandon Tenold Godzilla Review is a great way to wrap up 2024. He has pulled off some awesome videos, and he didn't need the big G on them.
You know I'm surprised you let out the bit where Megaguirus actively SMILES before dropping a bit of building on Godzilla's face.
Really? That’s the most iconic he coulda made a joke . LAAAAAAAME
"I don't think the world will end with a bang or a whimper, it'll end with a scientist saying 'Hey! It works.' " - Jon Stewart
Maybe it will be a scientist saying: Hey, it did not work.
I like to think that directly after the freezeframe of the end credit scene, the Kenny was obliterated by a burst of Godzilla's thermonuclear death-breath.. Godzilla's way of repaying that little bastard for all the trouble Megaguirus caused him.
0:00 “Well there’s no window ninja threatening me with violence if I don’t make another Godzilla video.”
That’s weird because I distinctly remember the last Godzilla video ending with a ninja at the window.
Finally another Godzilla movie. Only several Godzilla movies left and you have a complete Godzilla reviews
Another couple decades & I'll have em' all!
@@TheBrandonTenold Unfortunately, I can't watch your Mothra vs Godzilla review anymore.
Both a new AVGN episode and a Brandon Tenold Godzilla episode drops on the same day? Its like an early Christmas. Hope you have a merry Christmas Brandon
Did you also come here from the AVGN video?
@ScooterinAB yes
Yeah really good though sadly it's not all rainbow and sunshine since there's news of strikes involving Amazon and Starbucks really have to rethink or get what you still can before things get worse. Anyway really look it up and spread the word.
1:22 love the addition of "You know the drill by now." Lmao😂😂😂
Godzilla getting jump scared by Megaguirus was the best part
Me: in the middle of binging Brandon's Godzilla videos
Brandon: "you want some more?"
Yes. Yes, I would love some more. Thank you ❤
OUR EARLY CHRISTMAS PRESENT FROM BRANDON
Totally!
Brandon, love your caustic snark and humor. Often use your reviews as way to decide which older films to waste my life on. Major Kudos.
I normally save your videos as workout videos but I'm being a good boy this Chrismas so I'm watching this one now.
On a more serious but more positive note. It's almost 6 years since my cancer diagnosis and I was really fortunate with my surgery, chemo and the support I got. I watched your channel at that point anyway but there were 4 channels that I leaned on heavily during my treatment. I still remember sitting in the hospital watching your Godzilla videos. While I won't claim that your channel saved my life or anything, it did make those tougher days easier to deal with. Thank you so much for that. I hope you and everyone else has a great Christmas.
Hope you stay healthy. Positive waves, prayers, and good thoughts to you.
@ thank you. I just hope that messages like these reach creators but also help others who are going through something of their own.
I don't know you, but best of luck with your health, it's always great to hear of someone coming through cancer.
Godzilla: "Keep the change you filthy animal."
Merry Christmas 🎄🎄
I want to thank you Brandon, your content helped me very much when my grandfather passed, you two have the exact same sense of humor, when I watch, you, I remember him
I can’t wait to see Brandon reviews Godzilla Mothra, and King ghidorah, giant monsters, all out attack
See, this is how I spent the end of my year last year, rewatching all of Brandon’s Godzilla reviews. And I’m going to do it again!
Definitely a FUN entry to the stand-alone Milllenium-era G-Flicks. Megaguirus wasn't the most inspired villain monster, but a nice throwback to Godzilla battling Kumonga or those giant mantis-creatures.
"Not only do the CGI trains run on time,"
"The quickest way to a woman's heart is with a bullet."
Happy 70th, Godzilla!
*Hi Brandon. I have been watching your channel since I was a kid. You introduced me to the Awesome world of international cult movies. I just want to express appreciation for your work that has entertained me through these years. Have a Happy Holidays.* ❤
Hopefully we won't have to wait too long to get to GMK.
Or maybe you'll do Ghidrah, the Three-Headed Monster before that.
Michiru Oshima's theme for Godzilla is right up there with Akira Ifukube's. Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla made it even better.
Agreed
Ooooh yeah, the score for GxMg was great.
Frankly this movie feels like a test run for a lot of ideas they perfected in Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla. It has a lot of familiar story beats.
Black hole gun
Won't you come
And take away Godzilla?
Black hole gun
Won't you come
Won't you come
Won't you come...
I disposed of a few pounds of cocaine playing that album at my crack-house in DC. I don't know if you should parody it. LOL
BLACK HOLE GUN! BLACK HOLE GUN!
My favorite Soundgarden song, kudos.
Brandon has given us a really good Christmas present
I live just down the street from Toho studios. I will picket them for flagging you for copyright violations. My picket sign:
DOWN WITH TOHO!
STOP FLAGN' BRANDN'!
"Congratulations! You now have a way to track the giant radioactive monster." 😂
Thank you Brandon, happy holidays
It seems a bit extreme to use a gun that shoots literal Black Holes at Godzilla, but then again he does survive practically everything else.
We've seen that has survived worse
Fun fact, the host of "Kids Kingdom" with the crazy hair and green glasses is none other than Koichi Yamadera, mostly known as a voice actor (Ryoga from Ranma 1/2, Spike Spiegel from Cowboy Bebop, Kaji from Evangelion, Zenigata from Lupin III since 2011) and dub actor. He is the Japanese voice for Donald Duck, the Genie, and many other Disney characters.
If I had a nickel for every time the Shibuya district was in chaos I'd have two nickels which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice
First gamera 3 now this 😅
If he has a bowl cut and is below 5 foot 4, he is absolutely a Kenny!
This is the year of big G, from minus one to his 70th anniversary. And a new Godzilla review to wrap up the year.
Happy New year Brandon.
Wasn't expecting a new Godzilla video this year, thanks for indulging us! Love the videos, no matter what their topic is
“Keep the change you filthy animal” was comedic timing 😂😂😂
Its the most wonderful time of the year:a brandon tenold godzilla review
Watching your videos for about a few YEARS now and I've Now Subscribed! Plus, the Godzilla 2000 Design is one of my Favorites.
I love how this dude can pump out a godzilla video, with Toho's notorious copyright.
While anime abridged channels pop out one or two a year, and then need to wait upwards of 3 weeks to get them out of copyright jail
Companies behind anime adaptations are becoming less stingy with copyright. Good old toho has only become more stingy
Every time you upload a new Godzilla movie review I go back and rewatch many other Godzilla movie reviews you have done.
A perfect strategy.
Can't wait to see u do GMK soon! It's a masterpiece!
“Sir, Godzilla’s attacking Osaka! Should we call in the Air Force? The heavy artillery?”
“Nah, just send in a dozen guys with bazookas. I’m sure that’ll work.”
*Awkward silence*
“But sir, we used far greater weapons than that in 1954, and they didn’t do anything.”
“Well then, I don’t suppose there’s any point in using them again, is there?”
“Sir, your logic is impeccable. I’ll give the order.”
I think this is one of the more underrated godzilla films.
It’s the last godzilla film that felt and was genuinely original with it’s concepts and Megaguirus is a rad monster.
I don’t agree with the cgi criticism, as I think it looks fine given the time, CGI in films and shows like this were never that high compared to what the rest of the world could do. Compared to the stiff animatronics in godzilla vs mothra, the megaguirus puppet and fight is way less stiff looking by comparison.
Also Like the Ultraman Jet comment on the griffon, cause this whole movie honestly looks aesthetically like an ultraman show from that period.
When Brandon uploads a Godzilla Video, it's like a Gift
The plot is silly and the humans are meh, but this one is a guilty pleasure for the monster action. Megaguirus is one of my favorite kaiju, if only they had waited until their CGI was better and they could have made her use her super-speed abilities more liberally and with better effect. She's really good in the Pipeworks game, fast and strong and able to steal an enemy's health, weapon energy, and even their breath/beam weapon like a monster Mega Man. And I really like the music for the final battle.
Speaking of the Gryphon, if you haven't already you need to check out the fan-made video of the Gryphon fighting Godzilla Junior and Legendary Godzilla, it's awesome.
The dubbing is also really bad
I remember watching this as a kid. It was the first and only time I was ever scared of a Godzilla movie.
Brandon: So what does this movie have?
FOOTAGE FLAGGED BY TOHO
Me: My God. Godzilla hit Megaguirus with the dreaded copy right strike.
I think in this movie's case it was a copyright slam.
(Jim Ross voice) BY GOD, HE BROKE HER IN HALF NOW SOMEONE STOP THE DAMN MATCH!!!
Miss ya Godzilla videos I know u viewed a lot over the years especially Godzilla movies but I’ll never get old of em continue them like u have I love them thank u and my buddy found one of your bands cds in a cd store today he made a purchase!!
Perfect Christmas gift
Thanks!
Great video. Could you please make a video about Godzilla Minus One? I'm really excited that we could be getting a sequel. Minus One is my favorite of the Godzilla movies. Which movie is your personal favorite?
I have a soft spot for Godzilla '98 for one reason only: I lived in Manhattan at the time & had no idea they were filming it. I was walking on a deserted rainy sidestreet near Grand Central Station , where the huge cornice of a building was sitting in the middle of a trafficless street. I looked up and the real cornice was fully intact on its building.
Yeas thanks for this christmas special
Can’t wait for the day where Brandon finally tackles GMK!
Especially considering Godzilla Minus One drew a lot of inspiration from it!
Oh nice, early Christmas present!
Thank you for blessing my day man. You're truly incredible.
Here before it gets flagged.

it ain't christmas time without brandon doing a godzilla review.
Just once, just, once, I wanna see the kid(s) held to any level accountability.
2:12 - That’s one of my favorite shots of Godzilla. His green face, half-obscured in darkness, against a blazing orange background, makes him look ominously fearsome.
The one exception in the Millennium
Series is *"Godzilla x Mothra x*
*MechaGodzilla: TOKYO S.O.S."* (2003)
which is a direct sequel to *"Godzilla x*
*MechaGodzilla"* aka *"Godzilla Against*
*MechaGodzilla"* (2002).
It even has connections to two other
kaiju films: the original *"MOTHRA"*
(1961) with Hiroshi Koizumi reprising
his role as Professor Shinichi Chujo,
and *"Gezora • Ganimes • Kamoebas:*
*Decisive Battle! Giant Monsters of*
*the South Seas!"* aka *"Space Amoeba"*
(1970) with the dead body of Kamoeba
(which had to replace Anguirus to avoid
fan outrage) that washed up on a beach.
I have a film request
Blades (1989)
It's a Jaws parody where instead of a small island town getting terrorized by a giant shark during the build up to the 4th of July celebration, it's a country club being terrorized by a possessed lawnmower during the build up to a big tournament. It's got everything you could want from a Jaws parody/ripoff, goofy characters, lots of gore, a BANGER soundtrack, bad acting that sometimes turns into good acting, characters filling in for Brody, Hooper, and Quint, it's played completely straight, and best of all, it's a Troma Entertainment film...kinda
Troma only distributed Blades, so it doesn't have much of what makes a Troma film a Troma film, but it's still a fun watch, highly recommend you watch it and cover it on the channel.
For me, Godzilla vs. Megaguirus is a bit in the middle for me. I like the alt-history stuff with Osaka becoming the capital (the Diet Building being the same frame the Osaka Castle was a nice touch), the gun that shoots black holes gives me Half Life vibes, and Megaguires's origins were pretty interesting. Overall, I'd rank this movie at a good 6/10. Not bad, but it wouldn't be the first thing I recommend to newcomers. That honor belongs to the next installment in the Millennium Series!
Merry Christmas and a happy new year Brandon.
Love how you did the I trust you gig lol
FINALLY! Another Godzilla review! Been waiting a long while, but the wait was worth it!
I've always enjoyed this Godzilla movie when it came to the "Millennium Era" of Godzilla movies. The part when Godzilla leaps into the air and piles onto Megaguirus is definitely a "Standout Moment" from the franchise. Megaguirus's reaction alone is enough to make that scene pure gold.
Merry Christmas, a happy new year and thank you for another year of entertainment 👍
Another great reaction to add to my Brandon Tenold playlist! Thank you, again, sir!
Crazy thing, they had a real prehistoric dragonfly, that was a size of small to medium size bird
In these dark days, I just want to say: Brandon your videos bring joy to my calciferous heart.
FINALLY MY PRAYERS HAVE BEEN ANSWERED, NEW GODZILLA VID FROM BRANDON!!
Great review man. I feel the same and don't think it's a terrible entry and had some good ideas/moments. I also like to think it's a prequel to Godzilla 2000 since they can kinda fit together to fill in Goji2000's origin. Megaguirus was also a neat enemy. I'd love to see a film where she fights Rodan
A good day saw minus one last night and this today.
Keep the change…
Thanks for work
I was already thinking about watching a bunch of Godzilla movies on my bucket list, this must be a sign!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Brandon
Was NOT expecting that stinger 😂😂 from the monster and the joke at the end. Lol
My favourite part is when Godzilla's fighting Megaguirus at the end and he quick draws his back spinal fin like a samurai cutting the monster's arm in half.
It’s been quite a while since I’ve watch this channel, & now I come back to something cool.
I found it hilarious that they made those mini kaijus CG but didn't erase the wires holding Megaguirus when it was flying around godzilla.
❤you just made my day and I only looked at my notification for a second, thanks bro
Its funny you went with the black goji thumbnail. He is so green in this movie he often made me think of him being a monstrous chubby toad here 😆
Weirdly, the black hole gun attack is essentially like the Pressure Cannon from Guyver which fires balls made of black holes.
@Fun fact, Yuriko Hoshi who plays Prof. Yoshino Yoshizawa is the same actress who appeared both in Mothra Vs. Godzilla and Ghidorah The Three-Headed Monster way back in 1964, so amusing to see an older actor reused for a newer movie by roughly around 36 years. Impressive indeed. Seems she had to deal with a giant kaiju monster bug with either Mothra in both of them as well as Megaguirus now, heh
Thank you for making a Fly II reference. I've been saying for years that Megaguirus looks like the Brundle Fly II from that movie.
Cool video, Brandon! I love the part in the movie you showed where- *FOOTAGE FLAGGED BY TOHO*
The end of the year must always come with Brandon saying see you in 20**. TTFN Sir.
You released this on my birthday
Have a great new year man!
A Tenold Godzilla video?! It must be Christmas.
We need to get in touch with that ninja to get him back and get more Godzilla reviews 😂 but keep the reviews coming also love to see notzilla with the tag line beer makes the monster grow it has to be good
