In 2014, James gave his immediate thoughts on Legendary Pictures' 2014 American Godzilla film, and although he enjoyed the movie, claiming that he actually saw a Godzilla movie, he complained that there wasn't enough Godzilla in it and that the design of the M.U.T.O.s "weren't original" and "felt a little too cliché." However, he also expressed his wish that this movie was released earlier rather than the 1998 film. In his re-review of the 2014 film in 2016, he pointed out some more flaws he found with it. Also in 2016, Rolfe gave his thoughts on the trailer for Toho's then-upcoming new Godzilla film Godzilla: Resurgence, expressing his excitement for the first Japanese Godzilla film since 2004. Rolfe later reviewed the film after attending an early screening, stating that he found it to be a flawed, but overall very satisfying and refreshing entry in the series.
