I'm only ever brave enough to do an "All-Time Favorites" list for the entire Godzilla series, because anything more and I'll begin to lose my damn-hair lol! Besides, to me anyway, that's the only way that matters, in terms of how one perceives the totality of their attachment to these flicks. In MANY cases among the 28 original Japanese Godzilla movies, I find myself labeling this one, or that one "critic-proof", because my child-like zeal is so strong. I find it often IMPOSSIBLE to remain totally objective sometimes, and to be honest, thank God for that! Anyway, I make it a custom of excluding the original
Gojira/Godzilla King of the Monsters! from the rankings, because the older I get, the more I see that package-deal as standing a part from the rest of the pack, "complete and contained, a masterpiece that stands alone" (RIP Roger Ebert). I also exclude Roland Emmerich's colossal farce of a train-wreck for, well, need I say more? This round, I also move to exclude Gareth Edward's awesome-little movie (seriously, I LOVED it, and that's all I have to say about that HAHA!!), because I think I need some more time before I consider ranking it among the Toho canon. I'm not sure I really want to either, to be quite honest...oh well, here is my revised personal assessment of twenty-seven Godzilla sequels. Enjoy
