What do we know about American Godzilla movies?

For your convenience, we are going to give you a gist of every American Godzilla movie to date.

1)Godzilla, King of the Monsters (1956)

The first movie gave the kickstart to the Godzilla franchise. Get ready for ample of political references and hints to the original ‘atomic bomb‘ story. The 1954 movie gives a classical touch compared to the other ones.

2)King Kong vs. Godzilla (1963)

This version is similar to the Japanese one, following the same plot throughout the movie. If you’re not in the mood to watch the 1963 Japanese version, take this as an alternative.

3)Godzilla 1985 (1985)

1985 focuses on the return of Godzilla who rises from the water and causes ultimate destruction on every path he walks on, endangering several people.

4)Godzilla (1998)

Followed by the blockbuster independence day addition of Godzilla, the 1998 version was not even close to the previous one. The movie isn’t consistent and does not connect with any other movie, which is probably why it was not exactly liked by the audience.

Check out this iconic scene from the movie:

5)Godzilla (2014)

This movie has a prequel Kong: Skull Island followed by a sequel  Godzilla: King of the Monsters. Once again, we spot Godzilla rising above the water. But wait a minute, he gets distracted by other creatures trying to destroy the poor earth. Watch as the king of monsters protect the earth by defeating these creatures, sending them back to the hell they came from.

6)Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019)

Once again, crypto-zoological organization Monarch completely relies on Godzilla to save the day when there are several threatening monsters on the loose!

7)Godzilla vs. Kong (2021)

Aaaand finally, the duo we have all been waiting for! Witness these two powerful men trying to rip each other to shreds in the new Godzilla vs. Kong movie. The movie begins with Godzilla just destroying the earth randomly. Kong rises to battle him in order to calm him down. May the best man win!

After Pandemic First wave, they thought Theatres are done and #Master gave the best ever collection for us, #KongvsGodzilla did Fantastic, #Sulthan Super HIT Run, #Karnan Best ever Box Office ever for Dhanush.
After seeing all good still opting for OTT release makes no sense
