"I can't believe that Godzilla, was the last of his species. If nuclear testing continues, then someday, somewhere in the world, another Godzilla may appear."

Ishiro Honda's Godzilla is still a cinematic masterpiece even if it wasn't the start to the longest movie franchise ever it would still be a masterpiece. I'm happy the sequels went the way they went but let us be honest, even though it is incredible fun to watch two giant monsters battle it out and destroy shit, the weight and story the original carries outweighs every other Godzilla film ever released and I don't think one will ever surpass it. The story told is simply amazing and especially if you consider the time it was made in.

It is awesome to see Godzilla wreck shit in this movie but if you have seen this one, the story stays with you the most. The way they use the fear of Nuclear Weapons still amazes me. The only other Godzilla film that kind of used real life for its story is Shin Godzilla were they link it to the incompetence of the Japanse Government during the 2011 Tsunamis.

Anyway Godzilla is like I said a cinematic masterpiece and a must-watch for every movie buff here at Letterboxd.
