I just saw Godzilla Minus Zero and it absolutely melted my face. If I weren’t too old to headbang I would have been headbanging during the entire movie. However, I can’t really review it on this show because it is MOST DEFINITELY not for kids. Unless your kids like having nightmares.
But what I can do is take a trip down memory lane and rank my top five Godzilla films that I loved as a kid, and that your whole family can enjoy today. My ranked list is:
5. Destroy all Monsters (1968)
4. All Monsters Attack (1969)
3. Son of Godzilla (1967)
2. Godzilla vs. Megalon (1973)
1. Godzilla VS Mothra (1992)
I also strongly recommend the new comic book Romeo and Juliet and Godzilla, which was written by Adam Tierney and is Toho’s cheeky but loving take on William Shakespeare’s immortal play of two very mortal young lovers. It’s a great way to get your kids reading and introduce them to not just Godzilla, but Shakespeare!
