Ishiro Honda’s Godzilla is the roaring granddaddy of all monster movies. It’s also a remarkably humane and melancholy drama made in Japan at a time when the country was still reeling from nuclear attack and H-bomb testing. Its rampaging radioactive beast, the poignant embodiment of an entire population’s fears, became a beloved international icon of destruction, spawning more than twenty sequels and spinoffs. This first thrilling, tactile spectacle continues to be a cult phenomenon; here, we present the original, 1954 Japanese version, along with Godzilla: King of the Monsters!, the 1956 American reworking starring Raymond Burr (Rear Window).

Pros: excellent picture and sound for elements this old; stunning bonus features
Cons: nothing worth noting
Cons: nothing worth noting
The King of the Monsters comes to Blu-ray in both its original Japanese and its American redo in Criterion’s release of Ishirô Honda’s Godzilla. One of the granddaddies of all nuclear-inspired monster movies, Godzilla in its original incarnation is far more than a popcorn thriller. It’s in many ways a thoughtful and touching piece of popular entertainment with a serious theme at its core, and rewatching the original version confirms that this was a special film, innovative in its use of special effects and bounded with a sense of tragic inevitability that makes it resonate even more today than when it was first released.
