If you are familiar this blog, then you know that I am a huge fan of the Godzilla series. I have already written about the series in three previous posts. The last five months have been cinematic heaven to me, because there have been two Godzilla movies released to the theatres, the Oscar winning Godzilla Minus One and the dumb, but entertaining Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire. Recently, IndieWire ranked all the Godzilla movies and, much to my surprise, I found their rankings are pretty close to my own, with a few notable exceptions (namely, them placing Godzilla vs. Megalon in the top ten). I have decided to do my own rankings of all the live action Godzilla movies. I have excluded the three animated movies made for Netflix, because I have only seen Godzilla: Planet of the Monster and was less than thrilled by it. I also consider the original Godzilla and the Americanized version, Godzilla, King of the Monsters, as two different movies. There's very little left of Ishiro's
This is a blog that is devoted entirely to film analysis. I tend to analyze movies in a historical context. What were the cultural trends at the time? Why was the rationale behind the movie? I also tend to write about lesser-known movies, as there really isn't much more that can be said about most mainstream movies. I hope you enjoy!!!
