Gojira or Godzilla for the sake of Microsoft word is a movie that in short inspired a nation’s creative mind. Let’s face it, something about Godzilla made him so special that he has become a giant sized phenomena. He has over the last 66 years, spawned over 30 films, multiple television series, videogames, comic books, novels, and more. Heck, the franchise bookends several Eras of Japanese Kaiju (Monster movies) and Tokusatsu (Special Effects Shows, like Power Rangers) movies, and has always been at the forefront of the genre. Godzilla’s overwhelming popularity boggles the mind. I love the big lug, but I had to see what started this epically long and beloved franchise. That’s why I decided to take a look back at the first, the original, Japanese King of Monster movies that is Gojira.
