Godzilla (The Criterion Collection) [Blu-ray] Reviews

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.
