Ever seen in a Godzilla film something that just had your jaw drop because it absolutely looked perfect, like a film crew had actually captured a giant monster destroying a city?

For me my number one spot is near the beginning of Godzilla 2000 when the car is slowing down to where Godzilla is destroying an energy plant. There is also a scene in Destroyah where Godzilla first arrives at the airport and they overlapped real footage over the suitmation. Usually you see the edges and it's unconvincing but here it's perfect even though it doesn't make sense that the cars are just casually driving by as Godzilla arrives. Further more at the beginning of the film when people should be fleeing with Godzilla RIGHT BEHIND THEM they're casually walking but eh that's getting off topic. Another scene is Godzilla's first attack in the original film, aproaching the train with the people fleeing away from him, it almost looks like actual 1950s news footage. As far as non Godzilla goes there is that awesome scene in Gamera 2 when the military man is watching Gamera through his car window.

I think with the new film they're going to capitalize on that feeling. Even though cgi is generally easy to spot and takes you out of the realism  that practical effects have I love that we see his point of view of the city and looking through the eyes of a halo jumper.

Anyways sound of and list some clips I haven't mentioned

the realism that was in the original godzilla film was the best, idk but i guess it was because of the atmosphere that made it seem real like it was happening as a kid growing up watching this film it was like whoa is this actually happening? i just loved the original

The original film does that best for me. There are shots that look like it was some sort of documentary. (Which makes sense, Ishiro Honda was a documentary filmmaker.) Particularly some long, wide shots of Godzilla wading through the city.

What about in Godilla 2000 when they was driving and following Godzilla and you can see is whole body as he walking and just see how different he looks.

the 54 movie was pretty good VFX for the 50´s, every Godzilla movie since then have the same VFX of the first movie...

I know exactly what you mean. I started re watching all my Godzilla films when I heard about the film. Some parts admittedly looked a little cheesy but some parts were really good and convincing. Godzilla 2000 and 1954 especially
