All Godzilla does is run around on its two hind legs and smash into stuff. This film’s greatest plunder is its attempt to turn Godzilla into a glorified dinosaur. The first American Godzilla adaptation is widely recognized as a nightmare, as it’s a complete misunderstanding of what the series’ themes are. Most of the film has Godzilla trying to teach his son how to use his abilities, like atomic breath, and I can’t even begin to describe how jarring it is to have Godzilla teach his newborn son the how-tos of being a menacing, city-destroying monster. Considering that Minilla is half of Godzilla’s size, I can’t imagine this being seen as anything other than menacing. Unfortunately, Minilla looks terrifying, and his tantrums are reminiscent of a sugar-infused toddler stomping around and pouting after being denied one last piece of chocolate. When it’s not reusing old footage, it pans back to stale takes of Minilla and Ichiro sitting around reacting to these “fights.”Īs the first film to introduce Minilla, Son of Godzilla was manufactured in an attempt to create something cute and child-friendly. Yep, All Monsters Attack takes a surprising amount of footage from other Godzilla films like Ebirah, Horror of the Deep, Destroy All Monsters and Son of Godzilla. To top it all off, almost none of it is original. What makes this film increasingly bland is that every kaiju battle is generic, terribly shot and way too short. This strange friendship results in an unbearably wacky journey filled with lowbrow humor and repetitive composition. Notorious for its family-friendly approach to kaiju, All Monsters Attack follows Godzilla’s son, Minilla, forming an unlikely bond with frequently bullied schoolboy, Ichiro Miki. To celebrate the beauty of this franchise which pits colossal monsters against one another in fights to the death, here’s our ranking of all 33 Godzilla films from worst to best, including Godzilla: King of the Monsters. Seemingly taking the latter approach, the new Godzilla: King of the Monsters film features classic kaiju like Rodan, King Ghidorah and Mothra.
