Nothing beats the human story and emotions of the original 1954 movie. The unforgettable human characters and their final destinies in the drama, coupled with the legendary background score plus the terribly evocavative screams of Godzilla remains in your mind forever. That film used Godzilla as a duel metaphor - sometimes to symbolize the enormous power of nature and some other times to symbolize the highly destructive force of nuclear explosion. The human story was devised to portray the desperate struggle of man to prevent these great calamities. I think that is the true reason behind the long endurance of that film.

As much as I like the Legendary rendition of Godzilla, Minus One blows it out of the water. Such a great design, and such a great monster movie

Godzilla went from being a villain, and product of humanity incompetence of nuclear power. Destroying everything in his path striking fear in grown men and eliminating any enemies that stand in his way. To a hero that protects the earth from enemies monsters and does not get along well with other monsters but will put his differences aside for earth. Then being for kids for a while almost like the Gamera series to even where Godzilla starts talking. But then Toho said you know what let’s cut the bullshit and bring back Godzilla to his destructive roots by giving us two Godzillas for the price of one in Godzilla vs mechagodzilla.
Then giving him the rest he deserves in 1975 to then bring him back again by making him a villain again with a better budget, special effects and a bigger badder Godzilla. Ignoring all the films that can before and being a direct sequel to Godzilla 1954 a whole 30 years after. After that they began making a Godzilla film every year throughout the 90s recreating old kaiju and introducing new ones like battra, spacegodzilla and destroyah. To the point in the final film of the heisei era killing off Godzilla by his own radiation melting him down after over 40 years of Godzilla being invincible. Only being stopped momentarily or killed by a special weapon like the oxygen destroyer.

Then as the millennium approached so did a new Godzilla making an anti hero who is just there as another monster is causing destruction. Even recreating old kaiju again but a more modern look compared to the heisei series to ending the millennium series by having Godzilla kick practically every monster known to mankind that Toho owns.

Then when we thought Godzilla was all done in 2004 we got decent American Godzilla film in 2014 then only two years later Toho would release their own Godzilla film recreating his origin story and making him a arbiter of nuclear destruction. Then as the year went one we got Toho’s anime rendition of Godzilla even though it wasn’t the series everyone was hoping for it was an interesting concept. As the years went on legendary films would continue to make their own Godzilla films even recreating the most iconic kaiju battle of all time Kong vs Godzilla. Then Toho would experiment with another anime which had an interesting more well grounded story in my opinion but still wasn’t the anime I was hoping for.
But then This year in at the end of 2023 we finally god the I say in my opinion the perfect Godzilla film that captures the old original message of the film of Godzilla being a protest to nuclear weapons. The film is like if ishiro Honda was to make a Godzilla right now this would be that film Godzilla minus one. It’s like the almost perfect recreation of the original with new concepts or even the best reboot movie of the series. Most of the movies left me speechless even though if you actually add up the screen time of Godzilla it not that long but this film makes up for it with story and the drama.

Thank you so much Toho for giving us such an iconic and timeless movie franchise that I can gladly and be honored to recommend this film to anyone who has not seen a Godzilla film once because Godzilla minus one really makes you appreciate the films that came before it almost 70 years ago.

Ok... This transition between showa, heisei, millennium and reiwa was more awesome than what I expected. I felt the entire journey of Godzilla, just wow

[Sawyer_Harding]

Takashi really woke up and said “fuck it, let’s win an Oscar”🗿

[amemotikinako]

Raise one's hand to agree that Godzillaｰ1.0 was the best🙋🏻‍♀️

[DuzdyAnimates]

Remember when there was a Godzilla movie, then a Mothra movie, then a Rodan movie, and they all came together in one movie to fight King Ghidorah. Toho was doin the cinematic universe thing decades before Marvel movies were a thing.

Minus One's Godzilla seemed almost Lovecraftian in some scenes, most notably the boat chase scene. That was some Call of Cthulhu stuff right there and I enjoyed every second of it. S+ tier movie, WE NEED MORE

[gojidbzfan]

Man godzilla is 69 years old and still looking good.

[MrJomalley]

Finally an evolution video without annoying lady gaga music it has the ACTUAL music from Godzilla

[qnaham]

Godzilla (1998) is my favourite... There are so many memories attached with that...

[zankfilms]

this made me realize how quickly they lost the magic of the first film with the second

[balgord]

1954 Gpdzilla aged like fine wine, the other's don't.

Videos like this always remind me of how ahead of the curve the Godzilla franchise has felt in regards to their effects and impact on cinema. Obviously “suitmation” was something before the big G came around but something about the look and feel of each movie always gave them their own tones, and some of the things the franchise did (like Godzilla, Rodan and Mothra all getting films before their tales converged in Ghidorah) predates the whole “cinematic universe” thing by half a century.

Of course not every movie is an absolute winner, there been a few misses but the legacy of Godzilla has been really something special. A character which can be used for somber horror stories of a nation wracked by disaster, and also as a symbol of hope and power of the earth. Has there ever been a more versatile character in film history? Has there ever been a more iconic internationally recognizable movie monster?

Godzilla is such an icon of cinema and yet still feels as if he’s only growing in popularity and interest. I can’t wait to see where the story of Godzilla continues :)

Here are my favorite incarnations of Godzilla from each era.

Showa: MosuGoji (1964)

Heisei: BioGoji/GhidoGoji (1989-1991)

Millennium: MireGoji (1999-2000)

MonsterVerse: DougheGoji (2019-2021)

Reiwa: Godzilla 0.1. (2023)

I remember Godzilla 2000 was the first of the Millennium series of Godzilla films I saw at the theatres when the movie came out here in America and man it was awesome and still is after all these years.
