These Are The Best And Worst Godzilla Movies In History
06:48 Feb 9, 2021
The very premise of Godzilla: King of the Monsters asks us to look back at Godzilla's history, which includes nearly three dozen films. They range from dark depictions of post-nuclear Japan to comedic sci-fi romps to time travel sagas and everything in between.  There's a reason the new Godzilla film, King of the Monsters, features the foursome of Godzilla, Mothra, Rodan, and King Ghidorah, and much of it can be traced back to this colossal classic released ten years after the first Godzilla film.  In his first appearance, King Ghidorah hatches on Earth to rain down destruction with its three heads, two tails, and lightning breath. Mankind's only hope is a team-up of Godzilla, Rodan, and Mothra.   It's a lot of fun, and the kaiju carnage is some of the most powerful in the franchise.  For a little while in the middle of the Showa era of Godzilla films, Toho experimented with broadening the franchise's appeal through the introduction of various new characters. At the same time, they were trying to keep budgets low, which unfortunately brings us to Godzilla's son, Minilla.  The interactions between Godzilla and Minilla are played with such a comedic, put-upon-father sensibility that it starts to grate on you almost immediately.   That's not the only problem with the film, though. The creatures this time around — the giant mantises and the giant spider called Kumonga — look cool, but because they're puppets instead of men in suits, the fight scenes are rather limited in terms of intensity.    The Heisei era of Godzilla films kicked off with an attempt to return the character to its atomic horror roots with the somewhat divisive The Return of Godzilla in 1984, and things remained rather dark with Godzilla vs. Biollante in 1989. Those are both solid films, but the Heisei period really picked up steam with its third entry, which managed to maintain a relatively serious tone while also developing its own version of the Showa era's "throw everything at the screen" approach.
