I'll be straight with you: we just wanna watch some Godzilla.

Godzilla (1954)
The original film, regarded as one of the best monster movies ever made and a huge part of the history of tokusatsu.

Shin Godzilla
Written and directed by Hideako Anno (Neon Genesis Evangelion), this won Picture of the Year and Director of the Year at Japan's equivalent to the Oscars.

Godzilla: King of the Monsters
The third film in Legendary Pictures' MonsterVerse. Listen to this song and tell us that's not the tightest shit you've ever heard.

Wow, this is the closest one of these has ever been.

So. To be fair. Japan started the godzilla series as a political criticism. Godzilla 1954 was a criticism against nuclear weapons. That's why it has an image that looks like a mushroom cloud. The US made it a pure moster film by green screening in the reporter guy for the whole film.. Shin godzilla was a criticism against the government's slow reaction to natural disaster relief. It reflected the tsunami disaster that I think (i might be wrong) was either the year before or a couple years before. Movie wise- king of the mosters is the best. Message wise- shin godzilla makes their message pretty straightforward.
