All the Godzilla Movies Ranked

The article ranks the Godzilla films from worst to best, placing the franchise’s changing tone and style in the context of its different eras. It argues that the series’ enduring appeal has allowed the long-running monster to return across Japanese and Hollywood productions.

The Japanese films span the Showa era (15 titles, 1954–75), Heisei era (seven, 1984–95), Millennium era (six, 1999–2004) and Reiwa era, which began with *Shin Godzilla* in 2016. The ranking’s excerpts criticise *All Monsters Attack* for relying heavily on recycled footage, and fault *Godzilla vs. Megalon* and *Son of Godzilla* for weak monster action and execution; the article also notes the separate Hollywood MonsterVerse, launched in 2014.
