Not only a classic monster film but also the longest running film franchise of all time. So far.

He is the King the first and one of the best

The King of the Monsters himself. Probably one of the best classic films of all time. Even after almost 80 years, it's still fun to watch.

Classic American version of the original Gojira film

This American remake of the classic Japanese kaiju movie does it justice but loses the magic.

It’s like if you took a masterpiece like the original film and just made it into a “Godzilla Movie” instead of an actual movie.

Godzilla and the rest of the monsters are entertaining as always

Keeps much of the original's chilling atmosphere. At the same time, makes the classic horror more accessible to a casual audience.

Can not beat the classic it means so much to the Godzillas of today while it’s a monster movie it is an allegorical story as well

Solid example of what made kaiju films a good watch

Godzilla 1985
Godzilla 1985
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.
