They're only obsessed with tentacles because you can't show the thing connected to testicles. Wouldn't that be something, to see Godzilla attacked by a monster with multiple you know whats, kinda of like some of my ex girlfriends.
Man, Biolante just looks phenominal. The movie comes from that sweet spot of the late 80's just before experimentation with CGI started up in movies, and practical effects were at a level where they looked really, really amazing. And it's helped by the fact that she's not an obvious guy-in-a-suit monster, really helps sell the thing as alive.

Wow. GMK is kind of a shock to me (as a very, very casual kaiju watcher). Japan (or at least the filmmakers) actually take ownership of the terrible things they did during World War II. That's...that sort of social responsibility is so darn rare, and so darn praiseworthy, I don't have words to describe how impressed I am.
Not many nations are willing to acknowledge their crimes (bar the US, which is disturbingly proud of them), and even citizens of a nationalistic nation like Japan are equally unlikely to acknowledge them. It's one of the many reasons Goji has remained one of my favorite characters and IPs
To explain the time travel plot in Godzilla vs King Ghidorah: -future people say "we can get rid of Godzilla" and go back in time, teleporting the Godzillasaurus off the island and into the bering sea and leave 3 Dorats on the island. -Problem: Future people thought that the Godzillasaurus was the 1954 Godzilla... who was killed by the oxygen destroyer. -Miki senses Godzilla, despite the fact Godzilla "should" be gone. -Turns out a russian nuclear sub crashing in the bering sea and created the 1984 Godzilla. -The nuclear sub thinking they were going to irradiate a dormant dinosaur instead runs into an AWAKE but tired Godzilla, who destroys the sub and absorbs the nuclear energy, getting rid of the Anti Nuclear Energy Bacteria in his system. -The japanese defense force just takes all the blabbering that the future people mention at face value.
Yeah rewatching it several times, several things said int eh movie are obvious lies. also... it's VERY ambiguous where the Futurians got the DNA to make Ghidorah. I personally wonder if maybe they got it from a space dragon.
Actually, Godzilla rising up from the ground in Mothra vs Godzilla DOES make sense. That area was originally flooded due to a typhoon. Godzilla was washed up along with it but knocked unconscious and got buried from all the debris. Hell, they even discover one of his radioactive skin particles and trace it back to that area!
It was really cool when I was watching the 2014 movie and he first used his radioactive breath and everybody cheered, it really gave you chills one of my favorite movie experiences ever
The popular theory among GFans for Godzilla's arrival in "Mothra vs. Godzilla" is that he was just there during the mentioned typhoon and got covered by earth and debris. Either he was hibernating (a la "Sea Monster") or like a bison in a snow storm, it's just beneath his notice and he slept it off. That's why he doesn't truly pop up from underground. He just knocks the dirt off himself.
When the critics of Godzilla 2014 and King of the Monsters slammed both for having "bad human characters," I thought...have they never seen Godzilla movies before? Human roles weren't always that interesting in the series, over the years...except for Mr. Shindo from Godzilla Vs. King Ghidorah
The Heisei series as a whole is my favorite because it represents a continuum of movies years before the MCU was even a thought. That and the leap in effects make it the ultimate Godzilla experience. Of these, my high point would be Godzilla vs. Mecha Godzilla II. My favorite singular movie though is Final Wars which acts as an end cap to the entire Godzilla franchise much the way Endgame completes the Avengers. Ironically, I also like this film because it's a good jumping-on point for newbies as the story is mostly non-canonical while still providing a lot of fan service.
Heisei is definitely my favorite era, even though individually more millennium era films make it onto my top ten than any other era (Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla, GMK & Final Wars)
Actually, Godzilla vs Destroyah have an alternative ending, where Godzilla and his foe died in a final strike while being blasted by the freezing laser of the humans. In a way, it's a last kill with their own death.
Seriously, Biolante is heavily underrated. A great design and a fairly good movie. As a diehard Godzilla fan, I do have to say thank you for making this list. My personal favorite film is Godzilla vs. Destroyah. Why I like it is because it wraps up the Hesei era so well. I got into Godzilla watching the Heisei Era(though, I like the Showa era movies as well). The film manages to connect plot points all the way back from Godzilla vs King Gidorah in a plausible method. Also, Destroyah I consider to be Godzilla's strongest enemy. No offense to Gidorah(who is my favorite enemy monster), but when this creature packs the Oxygen Destroyer(one of the few things that can seriously injure Godzilla), yeah that's quite a threat. I also disagree with you about Godzilla not defeating Destroyah. While I would have liked to see it, I interpret the scene as the human characters finally taking a more proactive approach, signaling that they don't need to heavily rely on Godzilla(especially considering he is dying). And symbolically it represents how man in this case triumphed over the beast. But that's just me. Overall, great list. Love that you included some really underrated movies like The Return of Godzilla, which is another favorite of mine.
As a huge Godzilla fan, I was impressed by your video. I'm glad that the 2014 Godzilla made your list. I've seen it 6 times and I still think its awesome. It takes the material seriously while still delivering great action from Godzilla. The MUTOs have a cool creepy design. While the movie doesn't have quantity of Godzilla, the quality of him is off the charts! Killing the female MUTO by breathing fire down her throat is the coolest thing Godzilla has ever done!
I remember seeing Godzilla 1985 in the theater when I was a kid, and actually being struck by how some of the director's and editor's choices impacted and enhanced the final product. Still a great film.
If you watch the original version, she was controlled by Venusians, if that's a word. But in America, they changed it to Martians. Probably since aliens were popular from Mars at the time.
Hey Brandon. Here's a fun fact. TOHO originally planned to do a remake of King Kong vs Godzilla in 1991 as part of the Heisei seriers. However Turner Entertainment (The people who own him) requested too much money in order for TOHO to use King Kong. So TOHO tried to make Godzilla fight a robotic version but Turner sued TOHO and the movie was scrapped and replaced with Godzilla vs King Ghidorah.
My top 12 favorite Godzilla movies: 12. "Invasion of Astro-Monster" (1965, a.k.a. "Godzilla vs. Monster Zero" in USA) 11. "Godzilla vs. Gigan" (1972) 10. "Godzilla vs. Mothra" (1992, a.k.a.

I totally agree with you. After having seen many Godzilla films, I never bothered to watch the 1954 original film in it's entirety until just last year, but once I did, I thought to myself "this is my favorite Godzilla movie". I like it because it's dark to the point where it's a horror film. Good #1 choice.
The 2014 movie is a great rendition! And I must admit that it's my favorite. The build up and the pay offs are AMAZING. Icheered in the theater when Godzilla first shows himself. It's like "your in trouble now! The KING is here!" And then with atomic breath scene made me cheer again!
Excellent tribute, Brandon! As a life long Godzilla fan myself, I'm in agreement with a lot of your list, even the placement of the 2014 version. I can still remember how everyone in the theater broke into thunderous applause whenever Godzilla arrived on screen, and when he used his atomic breath. I probably would have included the 90's Godzilla vs. MechaGodzilla in place of the 70's one, though. I love its intensity and the theme for the new MechaGodzilla. Also the fact that they introduce a new version of Minilla that is actually kinda cute (and that we later see the new son grow into a pretty formidable young Godzilla) is a major boost. I also would probably have put GMK a LOT lower on the list. I admire it's uniqueness, and I like what they were doing with this movie, but I found the battles stacked WAY too heavily in Godzilla's favor for them to be interesting beyond the first viewing. I know a lot of people despise the beam-heavy battles of the Heisei series, but at least his enemies always seemed like they had a chance of winning. In GMK there's never any doubt, and once the effects loose their luster you can get pretty bored by how one-sided the action is. The time travel plot to Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah is VERY poorly explained, at least in the dubbed version. I've heard every kind of misinterpretation from "it completely rebooted the Heisei timeline" to "the sub transformed the dinosaur into Godzilla." The truth is actually much more basic than that, you just have to look for the clues in the other films of the Heisei series. There's an article I found on ScifiJapan.com that explains it all titled "Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah: Time Travel and the Origins of Godzilla." It's a very interesting read, if a bit lengthy, but the gist of it is that the Godzilla that first surfaces in 1984 was born BECAUSE of the Futurians' mission to the past, and that everything that happened before Gvs.KG is still in place.
The first movies I ever remember seeing were, "Godzilla King of the Monsters" and "Hercules" with Steve Reeves. This was a twin bill at the local drive-in. That was 1957 or 58. I loved Godzilla. The Japanese original is among my top ten favorite movies. My #1 movie is Casablanca, sooo I'm a bit of a snob.
I'm hyped you have 2014 and 1984 in here. A lot of fans hate (especially, as you said, on 1984) both movies. They're both great. Seeing Big G as a bad guy again in 1984 was good stuff, a quality throwback to the original. And 2014 is the big-budget treatment our big friend has always been wanting.

In Gojira, I really like how the movie is about the scientist and his moral dilemma. Does he let Godzilla destroy Tokyo, of does he unleash a discovery far deadlier on mankind to stop him.

Awesome list, the closest iv'e seen to my own. I was super happy that GMK was no.2 on the list as it's my personal favourite and lost all faith in watchmojo when it didn't make there top 10.
I really hope the 2016 toho movie will be like GMK, it was beautiful to see the director that nailed Gamera in the 90s make a Godzilla movie, and nail it too.
xXcaptainTACOZXx Well I believe the special effects director from GMK and the Gamera Trilogy is co-directing Godzilla 2016 which is VERY exciting news :D
TheHappyJawa Yep, he's directing it along with Hideaki Anno who was the creator of Neon Genesis Evangelion and I fucking love that series so yeah this movie is going to be pretty awesome. Great special effects combined with the insanity of Hideaki Anno, I mean what more could you ask for?
Godzilla 1998 might not have been the best movie, but the cartoon follow-up definitely captured the spirit of the Toho films and Zilla Jr definitely earns the name “Godzilla”. If you haven’t watched the cartoon give it a shot, it was made by G-Fans and it shows.
Godzilla 1954 is.. just.. it's truly unbeatable. I know, the whole concept was supposedly inspired by "The Beast of 20,000 Fathoms" (which I also really like) but something about the darker tone, the horrors of war, etc. just goes to show that this is not just another monster movie. Honestly, in my opinion, if a giant monster such as Godzilla were to appear in real life, I actually kinda think that the way the people in the movie reacted would be realistic. They did a great job. P.S. I'm talking about the Japanese version.
21:16 "Think you've got enough words there fellows" Hmm, you're right; the full title should actually be (and I'm mostly going off of the DVD box here): Godzilla, King Ghidorah, Mothra, Baragon; Giant Monsters All Out Attack.
I'm very pleased to hear you also admire The Return of Godzilla. That is a genuinely underrated film and one of the better, more intelligent and sophisticated films in the series. It's also my personal favorite. My top 10: 1. The Return of Godzilla (1984) 2. Godzilla (1954) 3. Godzilla vs. Biollante (1989) 4. Mothra vs. Godzilla (1964) 5. GMK (2001) 6. Godzilla 2000: Millennium (1999) 7. Godzilla vs. Destoroyah (1995) 8. Terror of MechaGodzilla (1975) 9. Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah (1991) 10. Godzilla vs. Mothra (1992)
I don't have a top 10, per say, but here is a list of Toho Godzilla movies that are my personal favorites. 1. "Godzilla (1954)." 2. "Godzilla: King of the Monsters (the 1956 version." 3. "Mothra vs. Godzilla (1964)." 4. "GMK (2001)." 5. "Godzilla vs. Destoroyah (1995)."
Some quick notes for you: Re: vs. Destroyer- Godzilla does kill Destroyer. The army just shoots Destroyer down. Godzilla maintains his position, superheating the ground. The sudden difference in temperature from super-cold to super-hot finally destroys Destroyer. In the Japanese dialogue, they mention that "Godzilla isn't moving" when Destroyer falls. It may still not be satisfying, but it's Godzilla's actions (or inaction) that ultimately kills the evil monster. Re: vs. King Ghidorah- A new Godzilla isn't created. He's still the same Godzilla from 1984. All the future people wound up doing was creating THIS Godzilla. A nuclear submarine in 1977 hit the Godzillasaurus and mutated it into the Heisei Godzilla. The nuclear submarine they send in this movie's events re-energizes Godzilla and grows him from 80 to 100 meters. This is glossed over in the dubbing, but explained much better in the Japanese dialogue. Re: Godzilla 1985- Roger Corman had sold New World Picture by 1985 so he had nothing to do with the film. Re: vs. Mothra- Godzilla comes out of the beach because he was washed ashore along with Mothra's egg by the hurricane at the beginning,
Thanks for that insight on Godzilla vs Destoroyah. I never saw the Japanese version. Makes it way more satisfying than G not having a hand in D's death.
When the original Japanese-language “ゴジラ” was finally released stateside in 2004, I saw it three times at my local art-movie theater and cried all the way through each showing. I bought the Classic Media DVD, then the Criterion Blu-ray, and even the big Criterion boxed set with the entire first series. It is truly a masterpiece and work of art. Peace.
I would've love the Godzilla Millennium Series even more. If they kept Godzilla 2000 suit for every single movie! That costume looks iconic right after Heisei era

I have it in great condition on VHS. I bought the blu ray that was released several years ago and although the packaging was tacky, I lost it and have no idea what happened to it. Of course, it's like $300 anywhere now...
Lots of my favorites too. Really love the Design of Destoroyah and Biollante, but also like Orga and Gigan. Gigan is silly, yet pretty metal at the same time.
I laugh every time I see this especially when G. gets group counseling. Also one of my favorite movies One Crazy Summer when Bobcat gets stuck in the Godzilla outfit has me laughing.

Fun fact about Godzilla Vs destoroyah! The burning godzilla suit used a crap ton of light bulbs to create that burning effect he has, also the suit used at the end to show a grown up jr is just the burning godzilla with the lights turned off.

No love for "Terror of Mechagodzilla"? I think that's the best of the '70s films. "Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla" has some great cheese, but "Terror" was that movie except more serious. Plus, it features one of Godzilla's best entrances and he has to fight two monsters without a tag team partner.
Apparently, they knew it would be the last for awhile, and set out to return the series to its "serious" roots... or, at least, as serious as the better episodes of "ULTRA MAN", which tended to be written better than the monster movies were. Around the same time, came "ULTRAMAN LEO", the most downbeat and VIOLENT of all the early ULTRA MAN series. It took forever for the hero to get good as being a hero, and the series seemed to end on a high note after 39 episodes. But someone decided to do a 2nd season, and in episode 40, KILLED OFF 95% of the regular cast, including Dan Moribushi (Ultra 7!!). I kept expecting him to turn out to be alive, but after 12 episodes, the 2nd season ended prematurely with Leo RETIRING from being a hero. WTF?? Like Godzilla, the Ultra series took a break for about a decade after that. (I haven't gotten around to seeing the later series yet.)

Biolante is one of my top favs too. But just fyi Zilla is actually the official name of the bad American version, he was bought back, renamed Zilla and killed by Godzilla in one of the shortest fights ever by Godzilla's weakest beam attack, LMAO. The fire scene in gvm was actually real the suit caught fire accidentally.
12:45 AUGH WHY DOES EVERYONE KEEP THINKING THIS GUY THINKS “Oh but Godzilla is good! He wouldn’t hurt me!” That’s EXACTLY why he walked out to face that. He foolishly thought the beast that saved his platoon was good but he figured out the beast had no side, it was just roaming around taking out any who dared to spoil his homeland and thus felt he should deserve his long delayed fate just as much as the enemies back in the day. Fucking translation error bullshit.
My personal favorite is Godzilla 2000, mainly because it was the first Godzilla movie I ever saw in my life. On top of that, the movie I feel does a good job showcasing a destructive godzilla that still ends up saving the Earth from an alien invader, and the human story about scientists trying to find out about godzilla managed to work in being both suspenseful and intriguing.

Lol. I enjoyed G14, and consider it a decent film in its own right. It came so close to being a great reimagining of a classic character. The things it did right, it did wonderfully... But the few mistakes it did make were pretty glaring ones, which is why I don't count it in my personal top 10. I don't think it's any better or worse than say... Godzilla vs Biollante. Both are great installments in the series... they just have certain problems that relegate them to the "good, not great" branch of the franchise as far as my personal preferences are concerned.
Hey Brandon, congratulations on your first million viewed video! Big fan, hope you keep going for years to come; and while I'm not a ninja wielding garden shears, I couldn't help but notice there are Godzilla movies on this list you haven't properly reviewed yet. You should celebrate by finishing off the list, and then all of the Godzilla movies, and then produce some new Godzilla movie so you can review those too. Godzilla Vs. Deathstalker is the film franchise people don't know they need

King Kong vs. Godzilla (1962) 5. Godzilla vs. Destoroyah (1995) 4. Godzilla, Mothra, and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack (2001) 3. Godzilla (1954) 2. Godzilla: Final Wars (2004) 1.

Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla (1974)
In Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla, the movie did something (as far as I know) a little different. During a Godzilla attack, a pilot or a driver of a Mazor Cannon, went through PTSD after surviving a Godzilla attack.
To all people who say zilla is realistic, he's not, in fact he is less plausible than godzilla. The idea a theropod would get a manlike posture through atomic mutation is incredible unrealistic but the idea that an Iguana could get a theropod stance is insane. Plus nothing that big could hide that well, go under the sewers and move that fast. This wouldn't just be the case if it was the size of a building but a sauropod sized zilla would still be slow as balls. Lastly most of you push realism onto zilla but hate dinosaurs with feathers, meaning that you don't really want accuracy you just want boring uninspired jurassic park clones and you often defend jurassic world's featherless raptors despite your precious realism. Lastly an animal such as godzilla running from the army would be like a lion running from a mouse that but it, plus intelligence and invulnerability are part of the character.
The only evidence they have four feather Velociraptors is one fucking bone they found in China which they can't even prove belong to a velociraptor since they found it by itself away from any kind of full skeleton which had three bumps on it that they assumed to be quill knobs. One God damn bone!!!
10:04 So here's a question; in the original Godzilla, Dr. Serizawa destroyed all of his notes regarding the Oxygen Destroyer and even if he had some leftover he kept it locked up in a metal crate which was then locked itself. So the question is, how is it possible that a monster was created from the Oxygen Destroyer 41 years after it was originally used. And, again, even if Dr. Serizawa made more than what we saw in the original film, he kept it locked up in a metal crate and then locked up the crate in metal locker and furthermore he burned all of his notes. So, even if there was still some of the Oxygen Destroyer leftover there's no way anyone would be able to get to it. And even if Destoroyah was created after Dr. Serizawa used the Oxygen Destroyer the first time in 1954, then why didn't he show up until 41 years later in 1995?
Originally in Godzilla versus destroyer and also within the comic book variation which still actually has this ending whenever Godzilla melts down he actually does get to be the one who deals the final blow to destroy as that he grabs on tight and sort of a death squeeze as he ignites and and takes destroyer with him to death just thought I'd mention it for those who'd be interested to check out the comic book variation of the film cuz they do finally deliver on that
In Godzilla Vs Biollante, all I could think was, "Wow, even the Godzilla franchise isn't safe from Japan's tentacle obsession."
Lol
And the gamera franchise with gamera vs viras
They're only obsessed with tentacles because you can't show the thing connected to testicles. Wouldn't that be something, to see Godzilla attacked by a monster with multiple you know whats, kinda of like some of my ex girlfriends.
See the movie the untamed lol
At least it wasn’t like anime involving tentacles
Man, Biolante just looks phenominal. The movie comes from that sweet spot of the late 80's just before experimentation with CGI started up in movies, and practical effects were at a level where they looked really, really amazing. And it's helped by the fact that she's not an obvious guy-in-a-suit monster, really helps sell the thing as alive.
Best Godzilla scripts are fan fiction... Shame on the professional writers
CGI was trash in the 80's
" King Caesar doesn't wake up until someone sings to him" you mean like Mothra?
yup he does
That's unfair. Mothra is always awake, she just doesn't give a damn until she's sung to.
And after spelling it out, that's probably worse

-Miki senses Godzilla, despite the fact Godzilla "should" be gone.
-Turns out a russian nuclear sub crashing in the bering sea and created the 1984 Godzilla.
-The nuclear sub thinking they were going to irradiate a dormant dinosaur instead runs into an AWAKE but tired Godzilla, who destroys the sub and absorbs the nuclear energy, getting rid of the Anti Nuclear Energy Bacteria in his system.
-The japanese defense force just takes all the blabbering that the future people mention at face value.
Yeah rewatching it several times, several things said int eh movie are obvious lies.
also... it's VERY ambiguous where the Futurians got the DNA to make Ghidorah. I personally wonder if maybe they got it from a space dragon.
@@marhawkman303 Well, regarding Ghidorah, in the novelization that pretty much is exactly the case
I'm glad you added "Godzilla vs. Biolante" and "Godzilla 84/85". I really enjoyed those films a lot too.
Actually, Godzilla rising up from the ground in Mothra vs Godzilla DOES make sense. That area was originally flooded due to a typhoon. Godzilla was washed up along with it but knocked unconscious and got buried from all the debris. Hell, they even discover one of his radioactive skin particles and trace it back to that area!
Hewy Toonmore
Not only that, but in the previous movie he fell into the ocean after battling King Kong.
Just like how in King Kong vs Godzilla, he starts off in an iceberg that syncs up with the end of Godzilla raids again.
Idk but some of the lines this guy uses sound very similar to James Rolfes Godzilla vs Mothra review like they were copied and pasted
Your reaching out big time. Lol
If you look at Toho Kingdom, they'll tell you Kong personally buried him there.
It was really cool when I was watching the 2014 movie and he first used his radioactive breath and everybody cheered, it really gave you chills one of my favorite movie experiences ever
The popular theory among GFans for Godzilla's arrival in "Mothra vs. Godzilla" is that he was just there during the mentioned typhoon and got covered by earth and debris. Either he was hibernating (a la "Sea Monster") or like a bison in a snow storm, it's just beneath his notice and he slept it off. That's why he doesn't truly pop up from underground. He just knocks the dirt off himself.
Godzilla is like Pizza,.. when you love it,.. you gotta have the cheese or it's just not the same... ...
Sooooooooooo true
you are legend
When the critics of Godzilla 2014 and King of the Monsters slammed both for having "bad human characters," I thought...have they never seen Godzilla movies before?
Human roles weren't always that interesting in the series, over the years...except for Mr. Shindo from Godzilla Vs. King Ghidorah
Perfect!

The Heisei series as a whole is my favorite because it represents a continuum of movies years before the MCU was even a thought. That and the leap in effects make it the ultimate Godzilla experience. Of these, my high point would be Godzilla vs. Mecha Godzilla II.
My favorite singular movie though is Final Wars which acts as an end cap to the entire Godzilla franchise much the way Endgame completes the Avengers. Ironically, I also like this film because it's a good jumping-on point for newbies as the story is mostly non-canonical while still providing a lot of fan service.
Heisei Godzilla films are more comparable to 90's James Bond than they are the MCU.
Heisei is definitely my favorite era, even though individually more millennium era films make it onto my top ten than any other era (Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla, GMK & Final Wars)

It wasn’t a review really. Just his first impressions.
Actually, Godzilla vs Destroyah have an alternative ending, where Godzilla and his foe died in a final strike while being blasted by the freezing laser of the humans.
In a way, it's a last kill with their own death.
So it’s got two alternate endings
"Just left Tokyo in august welcome godzilla"
I just died in that part lol
Seriously, Biolante is heavily underrated. A great design and a fairly good movie. As a diehard Godzilla fan, I do have to say thank you for making this list. My personal favorite film is Godzilla vs. Destroyah. Why I like it is because it wraps up the Hesei era so well. I got into Godzilla watching the Heisei Era(though, I like the Showa era movies as well). The film manages to connect plot points all the way back from Godzilla vs King Gidorah in a plausible method. Also, Destroyah I consider to be Godzilla's strongest enemy. No offense to Gidorah(who is my favorite enemy monster), but when this creature packs the Oxygen Destroyer(one of the few things that can seriously injure Godzilla), yeah that's quite a threat. I also disagree with you about Godzilla not defeating Destroyah. While I would have liked to see it, I interpret the scene as the human characters finally taking a more proactive approach, signaling that they don't need to heavily rely on Godzilla(especially considering he is dying).
And symbolically it represents how man in this case triumphed over the beast. But that's just me. Overall, great list. Love that you included some really underrated movies like The Return of Godzilla, which is another favorite of mine.
@@Day_Dream_Productions nothing, he's just having an opinion and giving reasons instead of "yes I like it because I like it"
Godzilla vs Biollante was my first Godzilla movie, and its always been my favorite.
As a huge Godzilla fan, I was impressed by your video. I'm glad that the 2014 Godzilla made your list. I've seen it 6 times and I still think its awesome. It takes the material seriously while still delivering great action from Godzilla. The MUTOs have a cool creepy design. While the movie doesn't have quantity of Godzilla, the quality of him is off the charts! Killing the female MUTO by breathing fire down her throat is the coolest thing Godzilla has ever done!

James Rolfe did the same thing with each of his entries in the Godzillathon series.
I remember seeing Godzilla 1985 in the theater when I was a kid, and actually being struck by how some of the director's and editor's choices impacted and enhanced the final product.
Still a great film.
It is good to see M.U.T.O alongside monsters like Ghidorah and Rodan
I really Love the visuals of Godzilla 1985, man...

Roddan: I hope you ain’t planning on having kids
Godzilla: WHAT
In the weenis- Zilla
Monster Island Buddies
Maybe that's why Minilla turned out the way he did.
Also when they fight Ghidorah Godzilla gets a lightning blast to his crotch lol
If you watch the original version, she was controlled by Venusians, if that's a word. But in America, they changed it to Martians. Probably since aliens were popular from Mars at the time.
Not to mention it makes more sense. Venus is practically a deathzone while Mars appeared to be able to produce life.
Apparently King Ghidorah was painted gold to be reminiscent of Venus.
That’s a pretty solid theory!
Hey Brandon. Here's a fun fact. TOHO originally planned to do a remake of King Kong vs Godzilla in 1991 as part of the Heisei seriers. However Turner Entertainment (The people who own him) requested too much money in order for TOHO to use King Kong. So TOHO tried to make Godzilla fight a robotic version but Turner sued TOHO and the movie was scrapped and replaced with Godzilla vs King Ghidorah.
+Mario T (MarioTime7) Turner can't sue Toho! That's beating them at their own game!
Scratch that. turner attempted to sue toho
It's coming in 2020 now
Not by Toho though
Toho is still with Godzilla for this but not for the Kong part
Godzilla's constant resurrection reminds me of Ripley's constant resurrection in the ALIEN series.
Oh you mean that ONE film where they brought her back in Alien Resurrection...

@@tan020399 did you not read what i said at the end
I totally agree with you. After having seen many Godzilla films, I never bothered to watch the 1954 original film in it's entirety until just last year, but once I did, I thought to myself "this is my favorite Godzilla movie". I like it because it's dark to the point where it's a horror film. Good #1 choice.
The 2014 movie is a great rendition! And I must admit that it's my favorite. The build up and the pay offs are AMAZING. Icheered in the theater when Godzilla first shows himself. It's like "your in trouble now! The KING is here!" And then with atomic breath scene made me cheer again!
Yeah it's my favorite too
Excellent tribute, Brandon! As a life long Godzilla fan myself, I'm in agreement with a lot of your list, even the placement of the 2014 version. I can still remember how everyone in the theater broke into thunderous applause whenever Godzilla arrived on screen, and when he used his atomic breath. I probably would have included the 90's Godzilla vs. MechaGodzilla in place of the 70's one, though. I love its intensity and the theme for the new MechaGodzilla. Also the fact that they introduce a new version of Minilla that is actually kinda cute (and that we later see the new son grow into a pretty formidable young Godzilla) is a major boost. I also would probably have put GMK a LOT lower on the list. I admire it's uniqueness, and I like what they were doing with this movie, but I found the battles stacked WAY too heavily in Godzilla's favor for them to be interesting beyond the first viewing. I know a lot of people despise the beam-heavy battles of the Heisei series, but at least his enemies always seemed like they had a chance of winning. In GMK there's never any doubt, and once the effects loose their luster you can get pretty bored by how one-sided the action is.
The time travel plot to Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah is VERY poorly explained, at least in the dubbed version. I've heard every kind of misinterpretation from "it completely rebooted the Heisei timeline" to "the sub transformed the dinosaur into Godzilla." The truth is actually much more basic than that, you just have to look for the clues in the other films of the Heisei series. There's an article I found on ScifiJapan.com that explains it all titled "Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah: Time Travel and the Origins of Godzilla." It's a very interesting read, if a bit lengthy, but the gist of it is that the Godzilla that first surfaces in 1984 was born BECAUSE of the Futurians' mission to the past, and that everything that happened before Gvs.KG is still in place.
The first movies I ever remember seeing were, "Godzilla King of the Monsters" and "Hercules" with Steve Reeves. This was a twin bill at the local drive-in. That was 1957 or 58. I loved Godzilla. The Japanese original is among my top ten favorite movies. My #1 movie is Casablanca, sooo I'm a bit of a snob.
I'm hyped you have 2014 and 1984 in here. A lot of fans hate (especially, as you said, on 1984) both movies. They're both great. Seeing Big G as a bad guy again in 1984 was good stuff, a quality throwback to the original. And 2014 is the big-budget treatment our big friend has always been wanting.

Awesome list, the closest iv'e seen to my own. I was super happy that GMK was no.2 on the list as it's my personal favourite and lost all faith in watchmojo when it didn't make there top 10.
I really hope the 2016 toho movie will be like GMK, it was beautiful to see the director that nailed Gamera in the 90s make a Godzilla movie, and nail it too.
xXcaptainTACOZXx Well I believe the special effects director from GMK and the Gamera Trilogy is co-directing Godzilla 2016 which is VERY exciting news :D
TheHappyJawa
Funny enough, GMK used to be my favorite movie (or #2 depending how I placed the original), but now I'd say it is my fourth or fifth.
TheHappyJawa Yep, he's directing it along with Hideaki Anno who was the creator of Neon Genesis Evangelion and I fucking love that series so yeah this movie is going to be pretty awesome. Great special effects combined with the insanity of Hideaki Anno, I mean what more could you ask for?
Godzilla 1998 might not have been the best movie, but the cartoon follow-up definitely captured the spirit of the Toho films and Zilla Jr definitely earns the name “Godzilla”. If you haven’t watched the cartoon give it a shot, it was made by G-Fans and it shows.
Godzilla 1954 is.. just.. it's truly unbeatable. I know, the whole concept was supposedly inspired by "The Beast of 20,000 Fathoms" (which I also really like) but something about the darker tone, the horrors of war, etc. just goes to show that this is not just another monster movie. Honestly, in my opinion, if a giant monster such as Godzilla were to appear in real life, I actually kinda think that the way the people in the movie reacted would be realistic. They did a great job.
P.S. I'm talking about the Japanese version.

GMK has always been my favorite, and even though he gets so little screen time, Baragon is my favorite kaiju after godzilla. :)
My man! Long time Gmk fan, Baragon is also my favorite kaiju.
Some quick notes for you: Re: vs. Destroyer- Godzilla does kill Destroyer. The army just shoots Destroyer down. Godzilla maintains his position, superheating the ground. The sudden difference in temperature from super-cold to super-hot finally destroys Destroyer. In the Japanese dialogue, they mention that "Godzilla isn't moving" when Destroyer falls. It may still not be satisfying, but it's Godzilla's actions (or inaction) that ultimately kills the evil monster.
Re: vs. King Ghidorah- A new Godzilla isn't created. He's still the same Godzilla from 1984. All the future people wound up doing was creating THIS Godzilla. A nuclear submarine in 1977 hit the Godzillasaurus and mutated it into the Heisei Godzilla. The nuclear submarine they send in this movie's events re-energizes Godzilla and grows him from 80 to 100 meters. This is glossed over in the dubbing, but explained much better in the Japanese dialogue.
Re: Godzilla 1985- Roger Corman had sold New World Picture by 1985 so he had nothing to do with the film.
Re: vs. Mothra- Godzilla comes out of the beach because he was washed ashore along with Mothra's egg by the hurricane at the beginning,
Thanks for that insight on Godzilla vs Destoroyah. I never saw the Japanese version. Makes it way more satisfying than G not having a hand in D's death.

@@danieltilson4912 what's yours then
No love for "Terror of Mechagodzilla"? I think that's the best of the '70s films. "Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla" has some great cheese, but "Terror" was that movie except more serious. Plus, it features one of Godzilla's best entrances and he has to fight two monsters without a tag team partner.
Apparently, they knew it would be the last for awhile, and set out to return the series to its "serious" roots... or, at least, as serious as the better episodes of "ULTRA MAN", which tended to be written better than the monster movies were.
Around the same time, came "ULTRAMAN LEO", the most downbeat and VIOLENT of all the early ULTRA MAN series. It took forever for the hero to get good as being a hero, and the series seemed to end on a high note after 39 episodes. But someone decided to do a 2nd season, and in episode 40, KILLED OFF 95% of the regular cast, including Dan Moribushi (Ultra 7!!). I kept expecting him to turn out to be alive, but after 12 episodes, the 2nd season ended prematurely with Leo RETIRING from being a hero. WTF?? Like Godzilla, the Ultra series took a break for about a decade after that. (I haven't gotten around to seeing the later series yet.)

He foolishly thought the beast that saved his platoon was good but he figured out the beast had no side, it was just roaming around taking out any who dared to spoil his homeland and thus felt he should deserve his long delayed fate just as much as the enemies back in the day.
Fucking translation error bullshit.
I believe Godzilla vs Gigan was originally going to be called, "Godzilla vs King Ghidorah" and then something after it
My personal favorite is Godzilla 2000, mainly because it was the first Godzilla movie I ever saw in my life. On top of that, the movie I feel does a good job showcasing a destructive godzilla that still ends up saving the Earth from an alien invader, and the human story about scientists trying to find out about godzilla managed to work in being both suspenseful and intriguing.

I agree
Godzilla vs megalon better than 2014? Damn XD guess you're one of those people who can't stay awake without cheese flying at your face
Lol. I enjoyed G14, and consider it a decent film in its own right. It came so close to being a great reimagining of a classic character. The things it did right, it did wonderfully... But the few mistakes it did make were pretty glaring ones, which is why I don't count it in my personal top 10. I don't think it's any better or worse than say... Godzilla vs Biollante. Both are great installments in the series... they just have certain problems that relegate them to the "good, not great" branch of the franchise as far as my personal preferences are concerned.
GMK WAS GHOST GODZILLA AND GRAND KING GHIDORAH
Can you review the original Godzilla one day?
He's saving that one for last
Hey Brandon, congratulations on your first million viewed video! Big fan, hope you keep going for years to come; and while I'm not a ninja wielding garden shears, I couldn't help but notice there are Godzilla movies on this list you haven't properly reviewed yet. You should celebrate by finishing off the list, and then all of the Godzilla movies, and then produce some new Godzilla movie so you can review those too. Godzilla Vs. Deathstalker is the film franchise people don't know they need
I remember my mom renting Godzilla 1985 for my 10th birthday a long time ago. I watched it over and over and over all night. Loved that movie.
My top ten:

9. Godzilla vs. Spacegodzilla (1994)
8. The Return of Godzilla (1984)
7. Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla (2002)
6. King Kong vs. Godzilla (1962)
5. Godzilla vs. Destoroyah (1995)
4. Godzilla, Mothra, and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack (2001)

+Max Carroll I hated your #9, 8, 7, 4, and 2 myself
Tareltonlives
Uh, why? #8 and #4 are great movies!
I didn't like them at all
Because I didn't like them at all :)
Godzilla vs Megalon is my fav I lost count how many times I've seen it! & JET JAGUAR was introduced! Best robot ever❗❗❗
PANCH PANCH PANCH!
Godzilla 1985 is my Favorite G Movie!
In Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla, the movie did something (as far as I know) a little different. During a Godzilla attack, a pilot or a driver of a Mazor Cannon, went through PTSD after surviving a Godzilla attack.

To all people who say zilla is realistic, he's not, in fact he is less plausible than godzilla. The idea a theropod would get a manlike posture through atomic mutation is incredible unrealistic but the idea that an Iguana could get a theropod stance is insane. Plus nothing that big could hide that well, go under the sewers and move that fast. This wouldn't just be the case if it was the size of a building but a sauropod sized zilla would still be slow as balls. Lastly most of you push realism onto zilla but hate dinosaurs with feathers, meaning that you don't really want accuracy you just want boring uninspired jurassic park clones and you often defend jurassic world's featherless raptors despite your precious realism. Lastly an animal such as godzilla running from the army would be like a lion running from a mouse that but it, plus intelligence and invulnerability are part of the character.
Isaac Vizas do you feel better now that thats off your chest?
Isaac Vizas 100% agreed
I agree with you, but do you need a hug or something?
Hope you got that off your chest.
The only evidence they have four feather Velociraptors is one fucking bone they found in China which they can't even prove belong to a velociraptor since they found it by itself away from any kind of full skeleton which had three bumps on it that they assumed to be quill knobs. One God damn bone!!!
I think King ceaser deserves his own movie
23:32 just take out all of the vowels and it’s good
10:04 So here's a question; in the original Godzilla, Dr. Serizawa destroyed all of his notes regarding the Oxygen Destroyer and even if he had some leftover he kept it locked up in a metal crate which was then locked itself. So the question is, how is it possible that a monster was created from the Oxygen Destroyer 41 years after it was originally used. And, again, even if Dr. Serizawa made more than what we saw in the original film, he kept it locked up in a metal crate and then locked up the crate in metal locker and furthermore he burned all of his notes. So, even if there was still some of the Oxygen Destroyer leftover there's no way anyone would be able to get to it. And even if Destoroyah was created after Dr. Serizawa used the Oxygen Destroyer the first time in 1954, then why didn't he show up until 41 years later in 1995?
Originally in Godzilla versus destroyer and also within the comic book variation which still actually has this ending whenever Godzilla melts down he actually does get to be the one who deals the final blow to destroy as that he grabs on tight and sort of a death squeeze as he ignites and and takes destroyer with him to death just thought I'd mention it for those who'd be interested to check out the comic book variation of the film cuz they do finally deliver on that
