 Tokusatsu films focus on kaiju (giant/weird monsters), superheros, and giant robots.
-Kaiju movies I've seen, in order:
+Kaiju and related movies I've seen, in order:
   * **King Kong** (2003) -- a great movie, if a bit long
   * **Godzilla Minus One** (2023) -- well done; dark, good special effects; happy ending

   * **Shin Ultraman** (2022) -- fun kaiju / superhero film. Some scenes are very similar to Neon Genesis Evangelion. My wife hated it and complained through the whole movie but ultimately gave it a 7/10
   * **Mothra vs Godzilla** (1964) -- good special effects, good battles. But the magical tiny twin girls were kind of unnecessary. Holds up pretty well 60 years later.
+  * **Shin Kamen Rider** (2023) -- lots of parallels and contrasts with Western superhero films. Fun movie. Also has some overlap with NGE, which makes sense, given its director. Wife score: 8.5!
+  * **Frankenstein Conquers the World** (1965) -- the premise of this movie is awesome. Execution is just OK. Feels like a parody of King Kong vs Godzilla
+  * **Godzilla x Kong: New Empire** (2024) -- generic woke Hollywood action movie that just happens to have giant monsters in it, a definite 3/10. The special effects are better than Godzilla vs Kong but this is a hollow and soulless film.
