GODZILLA BOX - THE SHOWA FILMS 1954-1975 (CRITERION COLLECTION) [Blu-ray] [2019]

Great to have these early Godzilla monster films that I have on old VHS tapes. I love them all but some are only in Japan oudilo this subtataltes, but I has some of my favourite films I can keep playing. It's very hard to have them all on Blu-ray but I grew up on Japanese monster films and I just love them all.

La qualità audio-video è ottima, gli artwork sono fantastici e i contenuti extra(sia del libro che dei dischi) sono ben curati ed interessanti, tuttavia ci sono anche dei problemi. Il primo è il formato del cofanetto, infatti per molti collezionisti sarà fastidioso avere un cofanetto verticalmente instabile e comicamente alto. Il secondo problema è quello delle strettissime tasche in cui si trovano i dischi. Questi difetti sono da tenere in considerazione ma l'acquisto è certamente consigliato.

Contrairement à la version US , ce coffret est bien lisible dans nos lecteurs de bluray (testé sur une xbox series x et sur une ps5)Les films sont tous sous titrés en anglais uniquement. Aucun français n’est disponible

Es ist einfach eine gute Qualität. Auch wenn mit die Deutsche synchro fehlt. Ist es wie Damals auf der Couch beim alten Röhrenfernseher, ein richtig schönes Gefühl der Kindheit.

Amazing to finally have my favourite Godzilla movies on blu ray! It's the very first time most of these movies have been released in the UK, let alone on blu ray! And to finally own the highly superior version of King Kong Vs Godzilla at all.. (aka the Japanese one) is amazing, honestly never thought I would ever own that version, it's not the best transfer for the Jap version unfortunately though, as the color is a little strange in some shots, other shots it's too dark and other shots are of much lower image quality than the rest of the film, but regardless I don't mind and I'm over the moon to own the Japanese version of King Kong Vs Godzilla!This set only has the English dubs of a few of the movies, so if you're a dub fan then possibly skip this or keep your old DVD's and such, personally I don't care, I always have and always will watch the Jap versions, that being said I don't mind a couple of the English dubs for the ones that don't change anything but the voices.As for the packaging, I initially thought it was stupid and was frustrated that I can't just put it on my shelf with my other movies.. But when I finally had it in my hands I quickly fell in love with it, it looks so cool and feels high quality, still.. Wouldn't mind being able to store it on my shelf with my other blu rays and DVD's... But oh well.As for image quality, the films vary, some look gorgeously clear and reveal so many details previously hidden by limitations, others still look a good amount better than any DVD's but just not quite as sharp as others in the set, like the original Gojira looks great! And is so much more immersive than it has ever been, but then you put in Godzilla Raids Again and it just looks... Still fantastic and the best the film has ever looked, but just not as sharp as a lot of blu rays I've had, same for Mothra Vs Godzilla, The best I've ever seen the film look!... But Ghidorah The Three Headed Monster looks crisper and more detailed in comparison, and sadly for me my favourite Godzilla movie ever (second only to the original Gojira) Son of Godzilla, is one of the ones that still looks fantastic but just not as crisp as it could be.Even with these points though I love the set to bits! And being able to own and see these films in the best quality I ever have in my life (even the slightly less crisp ones) is an amazing feeling, one problem I've personally always had with the Godzilla movies is there's so much movement and hectic explosions and stuff on screen that it always made it hard to focus on things properly when coupled with the low resolution of DVD's, VHS's or anything, for me personally, and having them on this blu ray set finally fixes my problem!! I can finally feel very immersed into these films, see details that I've never been able to see previously and overall just make me enjoy these films more than ever. :)I will note that you can also see strings and the lines between the images of the sky on the walls of the set and stuff, it's much more apparent that they're just on a set when you can see more detail, I have never noticed this with lower resolution releases... Which some people might dislike that they can see this, but not me! I love it! I love seeing how movies were made and what special effects techniques they used, it's a huge part of what I love about watching film.Well worth my purchase! 😄
