2023-12-26 21:10:59 +0000 UTCBy the way, I had previously made an extensive post about Godzilla which now requires an update due to the phenomenal 'Godzilla Minus One': Godzilla movies come in two flavors: war allegory and American Pro Wrestling. The American movies (and many of the mid-age Japanese movies) are Pro Wrestling, just a means to show monsters throwing each other around, which are simple movies for a common audience. Godzilla Minus One is probably all around the best-made movie of any Godzilla movie. Special effects aside, it's an excellent presentation of Japanese theatrical drama and has genuine emotional themes. It highlights characters dealing with the vast social, political and physical devastation that the Japanese people experienced after WWII. Currently the mediocre Godzilla (2014), which only half-heartedly presented the typical American "Pro Wrestling" Godzilla (Godzilla: King of Monsters (2019) did this better), is leading on the requested movies page followed by the entirely forgettable Godzilla v Kong and the insultingly bad Godzilla (1998), which was so bad Tristar cancelled plans for a trilogy and it killed the market for Godzilla in the US for over 15 years. Having watched a lot of Godzilla (and other kaiju franchises) over the last 40 years and being a fan of movies that make you think and feel moreso than just loud noises and flashy lights, I recommend for the best experience possible you watch the original Godzilla (1954) first, then Godzilla Minus One. If you enjoy the theme of those movies, then check out Shin Godzilla (2016) for a contemporary spin on that theme. These will give you the best, most emotional and most meaningful experiences with Godzilla movies. After that, 'Mothra vs Godzilla' (1964), 'Godzilla: King of Monsters' (2019, maybe compare and contrast with the 1956 version if you want) and once you've acclimated to the sillier version of Godzilla, 'Godzilla: Final Wars' (2004) for an utterly insane experience.
