This article ranks six Godzilla movies released in the 2010s, including both Japanese and American productions. It focuses on 'Godzilla: The Planet Eater' (2018), the third in a trilogy of anime Godzilla films, which the author considers the weakest of the bunch.

There has to be some hesitation in saying so right now, but things are on track for the 2020s to be the greatest decade to be a Godzilla fan. There’s an argument to be made that the greatest film in the series came out way back in the 1950s, sure, and the 1960s was a decade during which Godzilla movies were coming out most steadily.

6 'Godzilla: The Planet Eater' Directors: Kōbun Shizuno, Hiroyuki Seshita Between 2017 and 2018, there were three anime movies featuring Godzilla and, to be perfectly blunt, each one was a little worse than the last. That inevitably means talking about them in reverse order, for present purposes, which is very messy, but at the same time, this whole trilogy is a mess.

How do you screw up Mechagodzilla? Traditionally, this foe is like Godzilla, but mechanized. And here, even more enticingly, Mechagodzilla is technically a new version of the character dubbed Mechagodzilla City. Godzilla fighting a version of Mechagodzilla thousands of years in the future, and that version of Mechagodzilla is somehow also a city? How could that possibly be dull? Watch Godzilla: City on the Edge of Battle to find out! .

As for the giant monster stuff, the way you feel the scale of all the monsters here is impressive, and certain set pieces have striking imagery. Things can get a little dark and murky, visually speaking, but the spectacle on offer here does provide thrills. Godzilla: King of the Monsters is horrendously uneven, and a lesser MonsterVerse movie overall, but the highs here do make it worth watching for fans of the world’s most popular kaiju series.
