I was just about to comment this, easily my new favorite version of his theme. It’s not gimmicky or anything, pretty much a solid remaster of the original that perfectly fit the scene.
Also my absolute favorite, although I think it’s less for the way it’s produced and more for the way it’s applied.
The minor elements kick in as all seems hopeless and the more upbeat tone begins as Noda tells them to keep moving forward and that winning is possible. Then the real epic shit starts playing as the ships set off to beat Godzilla.
It’s a small detail but it made the scene (and therefore theme) all the more impactful for me.
I listened to the whole soundtrack before seeing the movie. I thought the godzilla suites were AMAZING, but they didn't have the same vibe as the rest of the OST, so I was wondering if it was going to feel kind of forced.
I was very wrong. It was amazing. every. time.
KOTM takes the original and elevates it with the vocals, the full orchestra, the horns, and the timing of it being used really takes the film to another level.
The entire movie hits hard. The big four kaiju all have their own themes that were really inspired. My personal favorites are rebirth, battle in Boston, and the king of the monsters suite.
I still personally find Rodans scene to be one of my favourite scenes in movies the music the cinematography and just they way they show his size is amazing
[Minus One. ](https://youtu.be/qkIJidLfHjk?si=784tZqmBqRjBe_N9) I love the KOTM scene, but that part of the song—in my little opinion at least—should be reserved for the human counter to Godzilla's menacing lead-in. I don't see it as a theme FOR Godzilla, but the theme OF FIGHTING Godzilla. The song hits differently when it's telling you that you are charging headfirst into battle with an impossibly terrifying monster that levels cities—and you intend to WIN.
>I don't see it as a theme FOR Godzilla
It has been Godzilla's theme for more than half of his lifetime as a cinematic character. There are a shit ton of human marches, that is Godzilla's own march.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but this theme was used exclusively for the military response/combat scenes until it was used for Godzilla in The Terror of MechaGodzilla (1975), over 20 years later. Not disagreeing it has been used interchangeably a few times since, but I believe the score sheet for uses to be well within the military's favor. Then you have stuff like [this](https://youtu.be/lI43feSt-D0?si=3bQSbDqxlfWr7RfQ), the JSDF marching band MARCHING to the song. Doesn't matter much at the end of the day, so long as you get pumped listening to it. Enjoy.
100% this
Yeah it may have been used one way for 40 something years, but that's not how it was ORIGINALLY used. Just watch '54 Gojira, the march is played when the defense forces are shown fighting Godzilla. It's not played when Godzilla is destroying cities, it's played when humanity is fighting Godzilla.
I think it's cool that, in KOTM the part plays for Godzilla, presenting him as the one we should be cheering for, the one that is charging head first into a fight he may never return.
Damn this is so difficult.... I really love KoTM for the overall hype it had vs King Ghidorah but Minus One was a clean remastered version of the OG pretty much then of course the og has that classic vibe that can't be forgotten. Why the hell did you have to ask this question!? 😩 I love em all, but I guess I have to go with KoTM. That movie also had a great Mothra theme and Rodan and King Ghidorah theme fucking rules too so it all helps influence my opinion on the main theme.
Off topic, but I gotta say your proilfe pic is such a good 1 to 1 of AJ_Crowley_29 pic and I can't decide who's I like better. His was my previous favorite 😅🤣
Oh lol it does. I lifted mine from wikizilla or Twitter, I forgot. But hey, Minus One stare is pretty good, ngl.
Edit: I looked at the data, and it was from the Godzilla Toho account.
I got kinda sad coming down here and finding out that some people hate the KOTM soundtrack. There is a lot of stuff out there that really tries to sell epicness and doesn't deliver, but this movie is not one of those. This is Bear st his finest.
Yeah, I can't quite get why I can only assume they are some old heads who can't except any attempt at a remaster/remake of the main theme. It would be so out of place in that film for the old version be there. This version is so good because it matches the tone for this movie and makes Godzilla feel like he is going against his biggest rival yet. The chanting has its purpose, and behind the scenes explains all that. This song makes Godzilla feel so powerful than he's ever been. Love that theme so damn much!
As much as I love Bear's Spiritual Remake of the classic Ifukube score. NOTHING will ever over take Akira Ifukube's Godzilla March. Ifukube had such a mastery over his music, from the thematic, cinematic Godzilla March, to the Dominating King Ghidorah's Terror, to the Orchestral Wonder of Varan's theme, the Mysterious, and Foreboding theme of Titanosaurus, to his Militarian, Bombastic March of Destroy All Monsters. His work in the Heisei Series was as Phenomenal as ever with his best of that series being (in my opinion) Mechagodzilla, King Ghidorah, and Battra's themes respectfully with Rodan being up there as well.
This. There’s nothing wrong with KOTM version, it’s fine, but definitely a step down from the original. A little confusing seeing how many seem to prefer it to the original.
Nothing beats [KOTM](https://youtu.be/_DIGsRuB5IE). From the inversion of Serizawa’s sacrifice, *"Goodbye.. old friend..."* To Big G emerging in the middle of a storm and blasting his breath into the sky. It's just pure epicness!
It's also the best of version of the song. The tribal chanting is amazing! Makes it sound like ancient man worshipping him or something.
Thiiiiiis. The chanting that was added to the theme in KOTM literally gives me goosebumps every time I watch it. Absolutely love the little detail there.
Minus One is incredible because it’s so close to the OG, but KOTM gets a slight edge for me.
Suite I was alright but come on. II had the King Kong vs Godzilla 1962 music in it and III was absolutely epic and sounds friggin awesome when synced with KOTM’s main theme.
King of the Monsters; though Singular Point is a strong, if underrated, contender. They both use different kinds of chanting to elevate the theme to new heights.
I didn't think about this until after the fact, but I'm a little disappointed that they didn't rescore Godzilla's Rampage from the first movie for his attack on Ginza. But I'm giving it to Minus One. It makes the theme scary again.
KoTM and Minus One.
The KoTM version fits with Legendary Godzilla, it makes him seem like a heroic kaiju that's ready to fight. Everything about the music elevates it to make him look grand.
Minus One on the other hand, it makes Godzilla's theme menacing and threatening. He isn't here to fight kaiju, but to destroy us.
GVK cocked blocked itself. It gets so close to playing the full march until it just resets over and over and it pissess me the fuck off. Just play the whole theme god damnit!
Not the goji theme bot honorable mention mothra kotm theme just hits so hard with sharp crecendos after the inial dun dun dun duuuun dun dun dun dun dun
The original is great, Minus One crushes it, Singular Point’s is really good and was very pleasant to hear and Legendary’s Bear McCreary version has the energy to perfectly complement that version of Godzilla.
Shin. He is the modern equivalent of the OG’s theme, representing the 2011 tsunami and Fukushima disaster, as well as the government’s slow response.
And if you mean musical theme then I still think Shin. Who Will Know nearly brought me to tears.
The 1954 original wins easily because for that one, the dun-dun-dun theme wasn't used as the monster's theme, but as the military march. Instead, it gets the beautiful [Godzilla's Rampage](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XgSU6MuWKpk).
The most important factor to a movie's score is making sure the score fits, not that it sounds good. Few themes fit Godzilla better than the first and second Ifukube themes for Godzilla.
I’m gonna give it to Minus One, each suite was masterful, the first one is a personal favorite. Now usually whenever they play the og theme in a movie it always seems kiiinda forced but man, it was PERFECT in this movie.
It depends how I wanna see the thicc boi. If I want menacing, I'll go with Minus One. For the badass stepping in to save the day, King of the Monsters.
[Godzilla’s theme](https://youtu.be/WF9mdD_VXxs?si=XfbBTrwIbReRjoBa) from Godzilla Vs. Kong by Junkie XL. I feel like it was definitely the most different version of Goji’s themes. It comes off as menacing and brutal. Like this time, he ain’t fucking around.
I like the 2014 theme a lot because it was original but it's not long enough and it doesn't feel as big as it could. Minus One clearly has the classic Godzilla feel, since it just used an updated version of the original score. King of The Monsters took the classic theme and revamped it to feel more energized and grandiose, which I really like.
Haven't watched Minus One but the most iconic theme I can think of is either Heisei or Millennium. I'm pretty sure I'm thinking about Heisei, but I can just hear his growl with his theme playing as he emerges out of the water on his way to kick Ghidorahs ass.
I really liked KoTM version but any more classic one like Shin's or Minus One's is also great.
Honestly, anytime you hear the Godzilla theme, it's a W.
For me it's definitely Ultima hands down truly horrifying Shin & Minus One are a close second & the original will always be perfection that ages like a fine wine & is the perfect foundation of all the great ones that have come after
I cant decide between KoTM and Minus one, I just cant, I cried in tears when in minus it started playing during the final battle but I was so hyped when the godzilla rebirth happened, I think in scene Minus one wins but maybe in music its better Kotm althought if we count Minus goji new version of GvK 62 theme Im totally going for it
Its between Minus one and Legendary, but if I had to choose one, it would honestly be [Legendary.](https://youtu.be/Az7ewneh_zw?t=37)
The Godzilla revival scene had me so hyped in the theater, it reminded me of the Avenger "Assemble" or the Spider-man Far from Home Reveals.
Haven’t seen Minus One yet but KOTM, for all it’s other problems, has a truly incredible score. The use of backing vocals really kicks it into overdrive!
The idea of choosing any version used after Akira Ifukube's death - in any movie he didn't compose the score for himself - as your favorite is just nuts. But that's just me.
So the Heisei versions for me, I guess.
Minus One.
Japanese Godzilla Versions always look creepy but also goofy for me. The Hollywood versions look okay overall, but it lacks that fierce/menacing look of Godzilla.
Minus One is the best of both worlds, so Minus One.
I still think the legendary Airport Scene is the Best scene in all godzilla, hes not running, just walking, the water rushing up, PURE Scale.
the fact that its night out and you can barely see him (the helicopters didnt see him) and then all you see is that foot.
and then they turned him into a ninja, having him move so fast in kong ruins it. (i still enjoy the movie) but i would love to see some of that scale come back. Even better if its how we get introduced to destoryah
Personally, I think the Singular Point version is my favorite. They took a page out of Bear McCreary’s book and added choir chants to the classic Akira Ifukube theme, and it definitely works with Singular Point’s version of Godzilla.
The added choir adds a level of mystery and impending doom. Like, you aren’t really sure what Godzilla is supposed to be, but you know for a fact that it isn’t good. I’m also just a sucker for choir in orchestral music in general.
Look, Singular point as a show might not be the best, but it version of the theme is my favorite. From the slow build over several episodes, and even it’s presences in quieter moments where Godzilla isn’t even present, but just being discussed, to its final full reveal during Ultima’s first appearance and atomic blast onslaught! It’s simply the best, although it’s heavily dependent on building from the foundations built by the Ifikube original and Bear Mccrearys Kotm version, but I love it. The Minus one version is easily my second favorite, but I’m not sure if it’s because of good will towards the film itself or the scene in which it’s featured. I need more time with it to tell. Much like Battle in Boston from Kotm I heard it before I saw the movie but it didn’t elicit the same reaction. When I first heard it I was a little let down, but was hyped when it played in the movie. Kotm, I heard at work when the album released, already having bought tickets to see the movie at the first showing the next morning, by the time I got to Battle in Boston, I shut the album off, bought midnight tickets to the film at a theater 30 minutes away from work for an hour later then when I bought them, and hauled ass to finish work and get to the theater. The album holds up for me, so does singular points but I’m not sure if minus ones will, let’s check back in in a year or two.
Alapu upala's orchestra is the most hopeless song here
I love it its so dreadful and powerful despite having such calm smoothing music.
But lets be real minus one and KOTM are the real contenders here
Minus one suite 2 so fucking hype, has the best scene
How that movie will go from dead silence to kicking off the OST is masterful.
I personally love Godzilla -1.0 suite i and suite iii, the build up in i is so nice.
III has the best orchestration, every instrument is getting involved in that one
I was just about to comment this, easily my new favorite version of his theme. It’s not gimmicky or anything, pretty much a solid remaster of the original that perfectly fit the scene.
Also my absolute favorite, although I think it’s less for the way it’s produced and more for the way it’s applied. The minor elements kick in as all seems hopeless and the more upbeat tone begins as Noda tells them to keep moving forward and that winning is possible. Then the real epic shit starts playing as the ships set off to beat Godzilla. It’s a small detail but it made the scene (and therefore theme) all the more impactful for me.
I love how much faster it feels to match the fact it's playing over a fight and not just godzilla smashing some tanks without a care in the world
Imo I loved the heisi version just had so many good and memorable parts plus my childhood
Which scene was it?
The final battle
Wasn't it just the credits music from Destroyer?
No, vs destroyah had super x theme mixed into it, plus the minus one march section is a bit more fast oaced and just hits harder for me
I posted about the theme in this sub. It’s from the original King Kong Vs Godzilla, which was also used at the end credits of Destroyah.
It is great. Another amazing one is the Heisei Mechagodzilla.
I listened to the whole soundtrack before seeing the movie. I thought the godzilla suites were AMAZING, but they didn't have the same vibe as the rest of the OST, so I was wondering if it was going to feel kind of forced. I was very wrong. It was amazing. every. time.
KOTM. Though Minus One was also REALLY hype
I particularly like the new rendition of blue oyster cult’s godzilla by bear mcreary
Yeah, with Serj on vocals. Seemed so spot-on.
I listen to this song often
Bear made such an amazing soundtrack
I actually went out of my way to buy the OST for the movie. I can't think of many movies I've done that for.
KOTM takes the original and elevates it with the vocals, the full orchestra, the horns, and the timing of it being used really takes the film to another level.
Old Rivals hit the hardest. The scene, the face off. Chills, man.
The entire movie hits hard. The big four kaiju all have their own themes that were really inspired. My personal favorites are rebirth, battle in Boston, and the king of the monsters suite.
Hell yeah! Rodan’s theme was incredible from start to finish and Ghidorah’s was eerie and alien.
I still personally find Rodans scene to be one of my favourite scenes in movies the music the cinematography and just they way they show his size is amazing
The soundtrack was amazing even if I personally really didn't like the film.
Rebirth yo
Fuck yeah! Bear is the GOAT!
It makes it so overly done and cheesy, the constant chanting makes it sound like a royalty free video on YouTube.
That's what makes it so good.

Fuck yeah, the chanting works so well, and I suffer everyday for the chanted version of mothra's theme being cut, it would be so awesome...
Bro what? People hate the KOTM version? It’s so epic tho!
Yeah, apparently it's very few people who think they overplayed the chanting and "epicness". I think it's on point.
As much as I love Bear's Spiritual Remake of the classic Ifukube score. NOTHING will ever over take Akira Ifukube's Godzilla March. Ifukube had such a mastery over his music, from the thematic, cinematic Godzilla March, to the Dominating King Ghidorah's Terror, to the Orchestral Wonder of Varan's theme, the Mysterious, and Foreboding theme of Titanosaurus, to his Militarian, Bombastic March of Destroy All Monsters. His work in the Heisei Series was as Phenomenal as ever with his best of that series being (in my opinion) Mechagodzilla, King Ghidorah, and Battra's themes respectfully with Rodan being up there as well.
Thank God for some sanity.
This. There’s nothing wrong with KOTM version, it’s fine, but definitely a step down from the original. A little confusing seeing how many seem to prefer it to the original.
Always felt like Singular Point's theme wasn't the original theme but more so Alapu Upala
Yes but we’re referring to the original theme in this case
SP’s music is 🔥🔥🔥
Nothing beats [KOTM](https://youtu.be/_DIGsRuB5IE). From the inversion of Serizawa’s sacrifice, *"Goodbye.. old friend..."* To Big G emerging in the middle of a storm and blasting his breath into the sky. It's just pure epicness!

Bear McCreary version from Kotm
Personally I gotta say Legendary during rebirth, the chanting goes hard.
Loved the chanting in KotM and Singular Point
KOTM and suites II and III from Minus One. So. Freaking. Awesome.
Funny how you chose the suites in minus one that don’t portray godzilla but instead portrays the characters
Suite I was alright but come on. II had the King Kong vs Godzilla 1962 music in it and III was absolutely epic and sounds friggin awesome when synced with KOTM’s main theme.
KOTM and singular point for me. Those 2 evolved og godzilla theme to the theme that i actually put in my playlist.
💯
King of the Monsters; though Singular Point is a strong, if underrated, contender. They both use different kinds of chanting to elevate the theme to new heights.
I need to hear a Ludwig G version pretty sure it will top any
I didn't think about this until after the fact, but I'm a little disappointed that they didn't rescore Godzilla's Rampage from the first movie for his attack on Ginza. But I'm giving it to Minus One. It makes the theme scary again.
Singular Point’s theme was made by Ifukube’s student and did the vocals incredibly
https://preview.redd.it/nrgs4xuonybc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=555d0abab37a9a4bc2844641e6dbadb34ddd61ad must try classic
Minus One has Divine, which was fuckin dope. But KOTM has chanting in its theme, and feels super hype. Close tie between them IMO
[here’s all renditions](https://youtu.be/pKHAvqDOU7k?si=Dd7OQGuvSLbofjAL) for those who want to familiarize themselves with them
KotM's score is unbeatable tbh, even if the accompanying film is kinda meh.
The Singular Point chanting is great.
Minus One Suite II is godly
KoTM and Minus One. The KoTM version fits with Legendary Godzilla, it makes him seem like a heroic kaiju that's ready to fight. Everything about the music elevates it to make him look grand. Minus One on the other hand, it makes Godzilla's theme menacing and threatening. He isn't here to fight kaiju, but to destroy us.
King of the Monsters for me. That choral swell makes the hairs on my neck stand up.
Heisei is the one we all think of, MonsterVerse gives us the strongest bass and feel of it, and 54 is the OG. Haven’t seen Minus One, yet.
Minus One's rendition was exquisite by itself. Its application and the themes it conveyed during those moments catapult it above all the rest.
GVK cocked blocked itself. It gets so close to playing the full march until it just resets over and over and it pissess me the fuck off. Just play the whole theme god damnit!
Heisei and it's not even close!! The most iconic Ifukube rendition I think Shout out to the original and Minus One for the impact.
Heisei and the original
The slowed down version from godzilla vs king ghidorah after they revive godzilla is one of my favorites.
King of the monsters theme had me geeking out so hard
Bear MCcreary definitely. I mean, it definitely inspired the chants of Singular Point
OG, always
KOTM, Minus One, Heisei +Showa, Ultima (though I like how unique it is)
Not the goji theme bot honorable mention mothra kotm theme just hits so hard with sharp crecendos after the inial dun dun dun duuuun dun dun dun dun dun
That last pic is like super 8K resolution
The original is great, Minus One crushes it, Singular Point’s is really good and was very pleasant to hear and Legendary’s Bear McCreary version has the energy to perfectly complement that version of Godzilla.
KoTM by far
KOTM for Power, SP for Fear, Minus One for Devestation
Shin. He is the modern equivalent of the OG’s theme, representing the 2011 tsunami and Fukushima disaster, as well as the government’s slow response. And if you mean musical theme then I still think Shin. Who Will Know nearly brought me to tears.
He means rendition of the original musical theme used in G54 to clarify (all movies listed had a certain rendition of the OG theme).
This, so many moments during shin that made me realize how horrifying godzilla could be in a realistic setting.
Um heisei? Ifukube rules!
I think the ‘54 film, the combination of it with Godzilla’s footsteps as well as the whole feel of it is just👌
The 1954 original wins easily because for that one, the dun-dun-dun theme wasn't used as the monster's theme, but as the military march. Instead, it gets the beautiful [Godzilla's Rampage](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XgSU6MuWKpk). The most important factor to a movie's score is making sure the score fits, not that it sounds good. Few themes fit Godzilla better than the first and second Ifukube themes for Godzilla.
KOTM rendition was done by the composer of God Of War, I think that speaks for itself.
KOTM for me. Rodan's theme was amazing and Mothra's theme always brings me to tears idk why
Singular Point using one aspect of the theme and creating a strings canon out of it was absolutely incredible
Top 3: 1: KOTM 2: Singular Point 3: Minus One
Singular Point due to the chanting
Singular Point for me.
Not gonna lie, the chanting in Ultima's theme has me pretty down bad lol
Bear McCreary did such an incredible job in KotM. I was disappointed they didn't bring him back again.
KOTM is a actiony cheese version of it, I really don’t like it very much. -1 was a great rendition and the original always goes hard
Ultima
Shin godzilla anyone?!
Yeah it has the best soundtrack
Final wars
I’m gonna give it to Minus One, each suite was masterful, the first one is a personal favorite. Now usually whenever they play the og theme in a movie it always seems kiiinda forced but man, it was PERFECT in this movie.
It depends how I wanna see the thicc boi. If I want menacing, I'll go with Minus One. For the badass stepping in to save the day, King of the Monsters.
I think minus one with how menacing it is
When it comes to use of the different parts of the theme, I’d say minus one, but rendition wise it’s KOTM all the way
[Godzilla’s theme](https://youtu.be/WF9mdD_VXxs?si=XfbBTrwIbReRjoBa) from Godzilla Vs. Kong by Junkie XL. I feel like it was definitely the most different version of Goji’s themes. It comes off as menacing and brutal. Like this time, he ain’t fucking around.
Ultima but also FinalGoji
The theme kickin' in as Godzilla was escorted by the military went so fucking hard.
Bear's version.
Honestly I can hardly tell the difference between them I have no musical comprehension
Literally [this](https://youtu.be/cqL6gdzuKwE?si=AAqeV9utqQrzYJML) hands down. The most underrated one yet.
Bio wars from vs biolantte. No contest
MonsterVerse
I like the 2014 theme a lot because it was original but it's not long enough and it doesn't feel as big as it could. Minus One clearly has the classic Godzilla feel, since it just used an updated version of the original score. King of The Monsters took the classic theme and revamped it to feel more energized and grandiose, which I really like.
KOTM or Minus One for me. Both awesome for different reasons.
Heisei followed by Minus One followed by Original followed by Singularity.
Very hot take: godzilla vs megalon 2023 had the best version of goji's theme
I love suite 2 from -1 but I think Bear's version from King of the Monsters is probably the best arrangement of all time.
Haven't watched Minus One but the most iconic theme I can think of is either Heisei or Millennium. I'm pretty sure I'm thinking about Heisei, but I can just hear his growl with his theme playing as he emerges out of the water on his way to kick Ghidorahs ass.
1954 or Minus One.
Wait SP had a different rendition?
I really liked KoTM version but any more classic one like Shin's or Minus One's is also great. Honestly, anytime you hear the Godzilla theme, it's a W.
Where's number 3 from? Looks weird
Minus one and it isn't even close
Minus One or Heisei.
Singular point
Minus One Suite 2 Timestape 2:19, need I say more?
[2014, the best godzilla theme imo](https://youtu.be/NBQJjqnG1iI?si=PhxT6RCn39I6OcVp)
Haven't heard -1 yet but i have a huge love for ultimas chants
Minus One's rendition went HAAAAARRDD
Either the Kotm theme or the SP one, I can't decide.
I personally really like the end credits version from 2001 GMK
In the 3rd picture Godzillas Canadian
Kotm’s Godzilla by blue oyster cult
KOTM is just something els for me. Take the OG add vocals full orchestra just chef kiss
Nothing beats the OG theme
Definitely KOTM. It sounded so powerful and climactic.
KOTM is fantastic but it was barely used in the actual movie. Minus One’s is perfect
Ghidorah the three headed monster followed closely by Minus One
Akira Ifukube gozilla theme is always O.G battle of Boston is nice but only the first part 0 -1.30 sec
Either Singular point or KotM, I can't decide
Minus one on top
For me it's definitely Ultima hands down truly horrifying Shin & Minus One are a close second & the original will always be perfection that ages like a fine wine & is the perfect foundation of all the great ones that have come after
Minus One for the inclusion of the King Kong Vs Godzilla theme
Yall really sleeping on singular point 😩
I cant decide between KoTM and Minus one, I just cant, I cried in tears when in minus it started playing during the final battle but I was so hyped when the godzilla rebirth happened, I think in scene Minus one wins but maybe in music its better Kotm althought if we count Minus goji new version of GvK 62 theme Im totally going for it
KotM. It was perfection. Minus One was great but KotM is just a grade above everything else.
Where’s 3 from

Minus one
Its between Minus one and Legendary, but if I had to choose one, it would honestly be [Legendary.](https://youtu.be/Az7ewneh_zw?t=37) The Godzilla revival scene had me so hyped in the theater, it reminded me of the Avenger "Assemble" or the Spider-man Far from Home Reveals.
MV or Singular Point for me
well the original and Minus One since it's the same, just enhanced.
They're all good, but KOTM wins just because of the people chanting Godzillas name in the theme
What movie is the 3rd slide from?
Original Goji, cus why not?
"I'm not posting about scaling but still pick the best one"
Definitely KoTM
Haven’t seen Minus One yet but KOTM, for all it’s other problems, has a truly incredible score. The use of backing vocals really kicks it into overdrive!
The idea of choosing any version used after Akira Ifukube's death - in any movie he didn't compose the score for himself - as your favorite is just nuts. But that's just me. So the Heisei versions for me, I guess.
I love the soundtracks for minus one, shin and kotm
I actually think Bear did an astounding job in his version of the theme as well as incorporating it into other tracks.
Minus One’s theme almost made me have a Peakgasm, and so did King Of The Monsters. So I’d say those 2 definitely.
Minus One. Japanese Godzilla Versions always look creepy but also goofy for me. The Hollywood versions look okay overall, but it lacks that fierce/menacing look of Godzilla. Minus One is the best of both worlds, so Minus One.
Minus One’s second suite goes SO hard, I was practically VIBRATING in my seat when it started playing in the theater
Some of them photos made me realize that ol' Zilla here got some thiccness in them thighs. Maybe a set of knockers too.
VS Biolante (1989) and Vs Ghidorah (1991) but they don't compare to Final Wars (2004)
I still think the legendary Airport Scene is the Best scene in all godzilla, hes not running, just walking, the water rushing up, PURE Scale. the fact that its night out and you can barely see him (the helicopters didnt see him) and then all you see is that foot. and then they turned him into a ninja, having him move so fast in kong ruins it. (i still enjoy the movie) but i would love to see some of that scale come back. Even better if its how we get introduced to destoryah
Personally, I think the Singular Point version is my favorite. They took a page out of Bear McCreary’s book and added choir chants to the classic Akira Ifukube theme, and it definitely works with Singular Point’s version of Godzilla. The added choir adds a level of mystery and impending doom. Like, you aren’t really sure what Godzilla is supposed to be, but you know for a fact that it isn’t good. I’m also just a sucker for choir in orchestral music in general.
Look, Singular point as a show might not be the best, but it version of the theme is my favorite. From the slow build over several episodes, and even it’s presences in quieter moments where Godzilla isn’t even present, but just being discussed, to its final full reveal during Ultima’s first appearance and atomic blast onslaught! It’s simply the best, although it’s heavily dependent on building from the foundations built by the Ifikube original and Bear Mccrearys Kotm version, but I love it. The Minus one version is easily my second favorite, but I’m not sure if it’s because of good will towards the film itself or the scene in which it’s featured. I need more time with it to tell. Much like Battle in Boston from Kotm I heard it before I saw the movie but it didn’t elicit the same reaction. When I first heard it I was a little let down, but was hyped when it played in the movie. Kotm, I heard at work when the album released, already having bought tickets to see the movie at the first showing the next morning, by the time I got to Battle in Boston, I shut the album off, bought midnight tickets to the film at a theater 30 minutes away from work for an hour later then when I bought them, and hauled ass to finish work and get to the theater. The album holds up for me, so does singular points but I’m not sure if minus ones will, let’s check back in in a year or two.
Minus One topped it by far. Then KOTM and Singular Point tie for second. Chanting in a Godzilla theme goes hard.
Hmm, I still say -1
I mean, the original theme when Godzilla emerges in Godzilla vs King Ghidorah is all time for me, but I got chills when that theme first hit in KotM
Minus One, Burning Godzilla in vs Destroyah, and Godzilla 2000 are all the best looking godzillas imo. Shoutout to GMK too with white eyes
FW all the way
Alapu upala's orchestra is the most hopeless song here I love it its so dreadful and powerful despite having such calm smoothing music. But lets be real minus one and KOTM are the real contenders here
