Very good American version. Faster paced than original.
The perfect resurrection of the franchise at the time. A bigger version of the original while also a sequel.
The first Godzilla movie I saw in the cinema. This was a great looking redesign of the creature.
One of the more fun and classic entries to the Godzilla franchise
One of the best in the series. The special effects are outstanding for its time, Godzilla looks fantastic and the attack on Tokyo is intense
A bit too long but a fine revival of the Godzilla franchise.
First watched this when I was 4 and it made me the Godzilla fan I am today. The music and diologue is burned into my brain forever.
Amazing movie with great performances and score by John Barry!!!
possibly the most underrated entry in the entire franchise. in this case, the american version is actually better than the japanese one.
Ok for the time but nothing compared to now

During an assignment, foreign correspondent Steve Martin spends a layover in Tokyo and is caught amid the rampage of an unstoppable prehistoric monster the Japanese call 'Godzilla'. The only hope for both Japan and the world lies on a secret weapon, which may prove more destructive than the monster itself.
A prehistoric monster called Gigantis emerges alongside another creature named Angurus.
When an underhanded pharmaceutical company goes to a remote tropical island to steal King Kong for advertising purposes, they get more than they bargained for when the gigantic ape attacks an unsuspecting village and an enormous octopus.
Originally released in Japan as "The Return of Godzilla" in 1984, this is the heavily re-edited, re-titled "Godzilla 1985". Adding in new footage of Raymond Burr, this 16th Godzilla film ignores all previous sequels and serves as a direct follow-up to the 1956 "Godzilla King of the Monsters", which also featured scenes with Burr edited into 1954's "Godzilla". This film restores the darker tone of the original, as we witness the nuclear destruction of giant lizard terrorizing Japan.
