Every Godzilla Movie, Ranked

Godzilla has appeared in 36 feature films across a franchise that spans nearly 70 years, with Japanese and American versions ranging across different genres and portrayals of the monster. The article ranks the films from worst to best, arguing that the series’ variety has helped sustain its long history.

The excerpt criticises the 1998 American-produced Godzilla as the weakest entry, saying it misses what makes the character work. It also singles out the animated Planet of the Monsters trilogy’s third film, The Planet Eater, and 1969’s All Monsters Attack as low points; the second anime film is described as only slightly better than the third.
