Trying to go through all the Japanese Godzilla movies. Already watched every American one (yes, even the bad ones), and they were fine. Seen Minus One and Shin too—actual kino.So what’s next? What’s essential, what’s overrated, and which ones are straight-up trash? Don’t hold back.
Watch the first one, it's one of the best monster films of all time. I would recommend Godzilla vs Hedorah, it's my personal favorite. Honestly watching them in order is the best way to go, the showa era gets pretty campy but they're a consistently good time.
Godzilla vs. Hedorah rules
>>216990922Heisei>>>>Showa>>>everything else
>>216990849Look at those unhealthy teeth with deep decay
>>216991281Just like me(Help me)
>>216991026thisVs Megaguirus too
>>216990849>Seen Minus One and Shin too—actual kinoThen you don't really need to watch anything aside from the original.>Already watched every American one (yes, even the bad ones), and they were fineIf you can tolerate GxK then you can watch anything.
>>216991640Fool
>>216990849Essentials:>Gojira>Mothra vs. Godzilla>Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Monster>Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla '74>Godzilla 1985>Godzilla vs. Biollante >Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah>Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla '93Overrated (but still watchable):>King Kong vs. Godzilla>Invasion of Astro Monster>Destroy All Monsters>Godzilla vs. Destroyer>Godzilla, Mothra, King GhidorahStraight-up trash:>Godzilla's Revenge>Godzilla vs. Megalon>Godzilla x Megaguirus>Godzilla, Tokyo SOS
>>2169908491984 is boring
>>216991822Biollante is pure comfy kino and has hot babes
>>216992250The Japanese version? The American edit improves it drastically. It's better-paced and more dynamic.
>>216991822look at this pleb disliking All Monster's Attack and not recommending Terror of Mechagodzilla
Pulgasari. North Korean Gojira ripoff with fx and costumes made by original Toho staff. Its not bad
>>216992891Japan yes
>>216991822If you recommend 1985 and any other film in the Heisei you kind of need to include Destroyah as essential. It's the end of that story after all.
