Not all of Godzilla's movies are classics.
Godzilla has been the star of countless classic kaiju clashes over his 70-year career, but mixed in with the classics are a handful of movies that can be safely skipped over. Since Godzilla first made landfall in Japan in 1954, he has evolved into one of the most famous movie characters of all time. The greater Godzilla franchise has several important movies that define the character, his enemies, and the important themes that the radioactive monster has played a role in communicating.
✕ Remove Ads All Monsters Attack was initially pitched, based on its title and promotional materials, as Godzilla and his son taking on a horde of familiar Godzilla enemies and the newcomer Gabara. What audiences got instead was a silly, childish story that featured very little real monster fighting. Perhaps the greatest crime of All Monsters Attacks is its copious amount of reused footage from other Godzilla movies.
Godzilla vs. SpaceGodzilla doesn't do much to progress the overall Godzilla lore, although it does mark the first appearance of what many consider to be the best Godzilla suit in Toho's history: the MogeGoji/DesuGoji design. Ultimately, SpaceGodzilla is a forgettable villain with a forgettable backstory and motivation. The movie plays as an unnecessary stop on the way to one of Godzilla's very best movies, the 1995 classic Godzilla vs. Destoroyah.
7 Son Of Godzilla Godzilla And His Unimpressive Offspring Battle Some Bugs Godzilla has been given a"son" on multiple occasions throughout his movie history, but the first instance came in 1967's Son of Godzilla. It featured the debut of Minilla, the smooth-bodied juvenile version of Godzilla himself, although curiously, he was never described as the biological offspring of Godzilla.
Putting aside the acting and dialogue, Godzilla might have made for a perfectly acceptable kaiju or monster movie in the same vein as Cloverfield or The Host, but not as a Godzilla movie. It currently carries the lowest Rotten Tomatoes Tomatometer score of any Godzilla movie with an abysmal 20%.
