Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019)
Directed by Michael Dougherty
influenced by Son of Godzilla (1967)
Characters
Granted, this is a character that has weathered such duds as Godzilla 1985, Son of Godzilla, All Monsters Attack, and that eminently regrettable American remake from 1998, which are films so thunderously inept that there’s nowhere to go but up from such low points.
Godzilla, Mothra, and Rodan are the marquee stars here, along with long-time Godzilla rival King Ghidorah, although KotM also offers up a cavalcade of original supporting Titans, many of whom suggest Toho kaiju like Anguirus ( Godzilla Raids Again , 1955) and Kumonga ( Son of Godzilla , 1967).
Pacific Rim (2013)
Directed by Guillermo del Toro
influenced by Godzilla vs. Megalon (1973), Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla (1974)
Plot
In the end, one can do a lot worse for summer movie entertainment than a souped-up, over-priced tribute to 1976’s Godzilla vs. Megalon.
Another marathon of cacophony and cliché, this Warner Bros. release updates Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla with its tale of earth being continuously attacked by giant sea monsters and defended only by giant, human-controlled robots that excel in hand-to-hand combat.
(Eat your heart out, Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla.)
Godzilla Minus Zero (2026)
Directed by Takashi Yamazaki
influenced by Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla (1974)
Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla to Terror of Mechagodzilla…
