Godzilla on the poster for Godzilla Minus One (2023)
Giant monster movies never seem to go out of style, simply because every generation of filmgoers seems to find the idea of big monsters, special effects, and scenes of intense destruction cool. It’s fun to watch the older ones while it’s similarly entertaining to marvel at what the newer ones are capable of showing, with such movies varying in tone, from being goofy escapism to somber disaster films.
Godzilla: Final Wars is a movie that’s self-aware enough to know how silly it is, but there’s also a sincerity toward Godzilla as a series, making it a well-earned and highly entertaining celebration of the iconic monster. Also, it’s hard not to celebrate a movie that sees an overpowered version of Godzilla fight the less-popular take on the character from the 1998 American film, the former absolutely decimating the latter in “combat.
Gamera 2: Attack of Legion ActionSci-Fi A strange meteor lands in Japan and unleashes hundreds of insect-like “Legion” creatures bent on colonizing the Earth. When the military fails to control the situation, Gamera shows up to deal with the ever-evolving space adversary. However the battle may result in Gamera losing his bond with both Asagi and humanity.
It's certainly not a complex sci-fi romp, but it’s one of the most outright entertaining in recent memory. Pacific Rim feels a bit like watching a kid play with massive toys on a massive scale, proving endearing, simple, and wholly bombastic. It’s a rather joyous and giddy sort of film, and so long as you're able to give yourself over to it in some capacity, you'll have a blast.
Godzilla Minus One quite radically took place immediately after World War II, placing the population of Japan in more desperate and trying times than usual right before an extra-malicious form of Godzilla started rampaging. Its approach to Godzilla as an outright villain is similar to the aforementioned Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack, though there are no monsters to help out humanity here.
2 'King Kong' Directors: Merian C. Cooper, Ernest B. Schoedsack Long before he was an iconic Godzilla foe, Kong was his own, well, king. Kong might not have as many movies as Godzilla or even Gamera, and another King, Ghidorah, might've also appeared in more films… but 1933’s King Kong came first. It’s responsible for making Kong one of the most recognizable monsters in the history of fiction, and if you count it as a kaiju/giant monster movie, it’s one of the very best.
