From best to worst, by bottom 10 are as follows:
20. Godzilla's Revenge (1969) - I actually find this movie rather entertaining, and I would say that this film is generally underrated by most fans, but it's still not great, which is why it tops the list.
21. Son of Godzilla (1967) - Another film that's just kind of meh. I rarely watch this film.
22. Godzilla vs. Megaguirus (2000) - I haven't watched this movie since finishing the original Ultraman series, so there's a chance I might find the homages to the late 1960s movies more entertaining, but I wouldn't hold my breath.
23. Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla (1993) - This movie has too many cringe-worthy moments to really be that good. I consider this movie overall to be really bland.
24. Godzilla Raids Again (1955) - This movie has a weird structure and drags on a little too much. I don't hate it as much as I used to, but it's simply out shined by the other Golden Age movies.
25. Godzilla vs. Hedorah (1971) - This is a film that I really want to like for the uniqueness factor, but at the end of the day it's just boring. I've tried showing it to my friends to highlight how crazy and non-standard Godzilla films can be, and by the last fight sequence the movie is just dragging its feet.
26. Godzilla vs. Megalon (1973) - This is a poor Godzilla movie but it's at least entertaining. A good movie to show newbies from a pure campiness perspective, but it's not going to convince anyone that Godzilla is cool.
27. Godzilla vs. Spacegodzilla (1994) - Boring. It's rather standard fare for the Heisei series, but it's the second worse of the bunch.
28. Godzilla 1998 - The first half hour of the movie, minus attempts at humor, are really good. Even Godzilla's first attack is handled pretty well, and then Godzilla hides and the movie goes to sh!t real quick.
29. Godzilla Final Wars (2004) - This is probably the only Godzilla movie that I actually find offensive. It feels more like a lampoon of the franchise than the "Evil Dead" style camp that a lot of this movie's proponents say it is. I especially dislike how badly Godzilla takes a 2nd seat to his 50th anniversary picture so we can instead watch a really bad action movie. I don't care if this is Kitamura's style, because it's possible for someone to have a consistent style and vision and still be a bad director. I didn't like Versus either.
30. Godzilla vs. Mothra (1992) - This is just a poorly made film. I wouldn't harsh on it so badly if it wasn't trying to imitate a much better picture, and it wasn't so obvious that they basically stuck Godzilla into the picture where ever they needed to advance the story.
