Think back, way back to when you saw your first Godzilla movie. What made you a fan of Godzilla initially? Was it the look of Godzilla himself? Was it the story? What made you a fan? Let us know by replying below!

I remember watching the classic series with my dad on some old TV program (cant remember what it was for the life of me) and it just spawned from there. First renting some VHS tapes of Godzilla movies. Soon the buying of the figures started. Then I was officially hooked.

When I was a little kid, I was introduced to Godzilla by watching a VHS copy of King Kong vs. Godzilla. It is actually a good Godzilla movie in my opinion, although not my favorite. What most likely made me become a Godzilla fan and watch more films of the monster was because I am a huge dinosaur enthusiast and I liked that he is a dinosaur survivor. Also, his atomic fire breath is primarily blue, and blue is my all time favorite color.

i just remember my first movies being Godzilla vs. Biollante and Vs. King Ghidorah from a vhs tape here in America. i just remember being amazed and realizing that Godzilla is a GOD.

as a huge dinosaur fanatic in the sixties, the evolution to Godzilla fandom was seemless and a natural fit. When Godzilla vs the Smog Monster hit theaters, I was hopelessly hooked for life. The first movie I took my then "baby brother" to was Godzilla vs Megalon! I just bought it and we watched it again for the first time in decades. Unfortunately, my wife just doesn't get it.... LOL

What made me a fan was his size, strength and never say die attitude.

My first godzilla movie was the terror of mechagodzilla. I was more into mechagodzilla at first til I seen that godzilla had alot more films. I was 3 at the time now I'm 18 but I'd say mechagodzilla got me into the godzilla world

i remember mostly the corny old cartoon series. i was living in another country and didnt get very many cartoons and the ones that were on were all old hanna barbera stuff.

A few different things. First would be my pop, who showed me the original movie on TV when I was about 4 years old. Later that year, the first movie I ever saw in the theater was Godzilla vs. The Thing. Godzilla was always so cool (although later on, I always wished he would live, like Gorgo did). I just always liked the idea of a monster who was such a primal force. I still miss the old days of Thanksgiving in NYC when on Thursday we got King Kong, Son of Kong and Mighty Joe Young, then on Friday Godzilla, King of the Monsters and two random others. When I finally got to see the original, un-Raymond Burred version, I went nuts. I enjoyed Godzilla all over again. I still remember buying the 90's movies on bootlegs, I wanted to see them so badly. The Big G has always been a part of my SF consciousness and always will be.

This may sound crazy but the first thing when my mom gave birth to me was the godzilla 1954 dvd that my dad was holding when he just bought it hours before my birth, I was destined because then when I started seeing the films I thought they were badass. I am 13 right now and I swear to always be a godzilla fan because its the most epic thing ive ever seen in my whole entire life.

I was like 3 years old and all I ever watched was Disney movies and cartoons. You could'nt get me to see something that wasn't animated, especially the wizard of oz, so my parents came up with an idea. They would give me a movie that was cartoon like but live action and action packed. They gave me a double feature of Godzilla vs Mecha-Godzilla & Godzilla vs Gigan ( on VHS). After I watched the Big G fight his mechanical counterpart I was hooked. An my parents kept trying to find Godzilla movies to rent or buy for me and kept on like that. I konestly thought he was real back then, ahhh childhood!!!

As a child the stories never really mattered to me. Lol i used ot only watch them for the last 20 minutes or so of godzilla showing up and fighting as i got older i noticed the story more though so I could appreciate the movies more

Well, back in 2009, I was a huge fan of 'The Land Before Time.' (Don't blame me, I was only 7!) I learned about this T-rex named 'Red-Claw' and I read that he used the roar of 'The American Godzilla' I was like, "What the heck is a Godzilla?" So, I searched Godzilla on Google, now, I'm addicted. I also originally thought that Zilla was the real Godzilla back then, it's when I started studying him that I found out about the real king.

When i read this question two things came to mind: 1 The Godzilla soundtrack for King of the monsters the first movie hospital scene watching all the chaos after effect and the underwater death of Godzilla scene. 2 Godzilla vs Monster Zero the infamous Dance and the new Godzilla 1990's Godzilla movies except GODZILLA 1997

I was barely 4 years old when my curiosity made me watch the triple feature vhs my parents had themselves bought out of curiosty. I was young and had a major dinosaur fascination and my parents told me the Big G was a giant fire-breathing one at that, it couldn't get much better than that to me. The first movie was Invasion of Astro Monster. The story mostly went over my head but the thing that sealed the deal was Godzilla's abso-fucking-lutely hilarious victory dance after beating Ghidorah the first time.

I became a Godzilla fan after watching several movies.  My favorite was Godzilla X Destotoyah, which was double sided with Godzilla X Spacegodzilla.

ah yea the reason why I like Godzilla

 

well It all started when i was a little boy, my father would always tell me about how huge the beast was and how incredible th monster was. When I was 8 years old my father took me to a flea market and there were 2 Godzilla films on VHS. Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla and Godzilla 1985. Godzilla 1985 scared the piss out of me when i first watched it. Then I watched Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla. I was so amazed how much fighting there is in the film i was automaticly hooked! Then later i use to rent Godzilla vs Biollante and that was the scariest movie i saw because of how monstrous Biollante is. Then I saw Godzilla 2000, and well since then i was hooked like hell.

Okay, this is how it all started for me.

It was Christmas day at my Grandma's house. Me and my sister were opening presents and my dad was fliping through the channels and landed on Godzilla, Mothra, King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters all out attack. It started at the end battle right before Mothra died and just the look of Godzilla and King Ghidorah memerized me. After that I tryed to find but instead Godzilla: Final Wars at a movie rental store. And after I got hooked ad have loved him ever since. Now I own I the movies and am close to getting all the Monsters action figures.

First Godzilla film I saw was 1985. We see his vision overlooking a fog covered city and then that security guard comes out, the ground cracks beneath his feet and than we pan up to see my first glimpse of Godzilla. I was hooked for life after that.

I found giant monsters beating the snot out of eachother very appealing.

Ironically, I was first introduced with the name by Godzilla 1998. I had a figure of Gino, and carried him where ever I went, and then Godzilla 2000 came! :D

I pretty much fell in love with the movie, and mostly Orga (I was around five or six when I saw it). I later on played the video games, and watched to rest of the millenium films. That's pretty much how it all started for me. :)

Well I was about 3, and my dad took me to work with him and I saw a collection of Godzilla figures on a shelf and well I asked what those were and the guy who owned them let me have one. And since that day I still love Godzilla.

I was a kid about 5 or 6, I was playing outside when my dad called me in the house, I thought I was in trouble or something.  He directed me to the TV and said "there's a movie on for you!"  On the TV was a little boy playing with a gadget, using his imagination, dialing in to some place called "monster land" and suddenly the boy was there.  Giant insects, bully monsters, baby Godzilla (as I came to call him), and of course, the star of them all, Big G himself. From that point on, I was hooked.  Over the years, I came to dismiss Godzilla's Revenge as a series "filler" with all the stock footage and such and as I said in another post, I dont much care for the cuddly kid friendly Godzilla in this flick.  But I was a small kid then and I related to the boy in the film.  At that age it was magic.

I remember my dad telling me to go inside his room and he showed me a movie. He said as a kid he would watch Godzilla movies. After watching Godzilla I was hooked and learned everything I could about him. And after a while I found out about the new movie!

Some people want to see the world burn... ... I'm one of those people.

You see, where i come from there has only been six movies released. And that was in 2007. But too my luck, my uncle (R.I.P you old mofo) had them imported from the US/japan. He didnt have anything else for me to watch when i was a kid back then. So he plopped on one of the first movies i remember seeing; King Kong VS Godzilla. I was so intrigued, and saw all of his Godzilla movies. What happend to his collection is unknown. But then in 1998, i lost interest after seeing the horrible Zilla movie. I feared i would never see my Godzilla again. I was thirteen at that point. I then regained interest a few years later when i on the internet found out there was 28 movies! I had only believed there too be six-seven movies. And then three years later we got a box-set and i was back in business!
