And, finally, GODZILLA MINUS ONE as a short of bonus carrying is to 13 hours instead of 12, and, folks, it is borderline crazy that a series with decades like the weakest entries in this #Godzillathon gets a movie like this in year 70.

A ★★★★½ review of Shin Godzilla (2016) A House of Dynamite wishes it was this.

A ★★½ review of Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla (1974) Really, too many from this 1970s era in the marathon; you really notice how they don't have the heft of the original out the latter entries, and the pantomime is really too expressive. I do kind of li...

With GODZILLA VERSUS MECHAGODZILLA, I'm really wishing the #Godzillathon was mixing eras up more. Too much pantomime and silliness here.

A ★★½ review of Destroy All Monsters (1968) It's kind of fun to see how the current state of movies is kind of reflected in this, which has the same basic style of Astro-Monster but kind of feels hollow, too many monsters and not enough charact...

DESTROY ALL MONSTERS feels as overdone as any later-period cinematic universe mess.

A ★★★½ review of Invasion of Astro-Monster (1965) I kind of love the whole look and feel of this right up to the trap door unironically; everything looks like it could come from the cover of a science fiction magazine of the time, and it's a fun, fas...

INVASION OF THE ASTRO-MONSTER - Mostly fun sci-fi stuff.

A ★★★ review of Mothra vs. Godzilla (1964) Gotta figure this is a low point for Godzilla, personally, in his reign as Long of the Monsters. Sure, I imagine we might all have a day or two of stumbling around after being awakened from hibernatio...

MOTHRA VS GODZILLA - slight, but fairly fun.

A ★★★★★ review of Godzilla (1954) We always talk about how the first Godzilla movie is more somber and serious than what followed, and it is, but it also wouldn't have become a classic if it weren't also fast-paced and exciting.

Starting #Godzillathon off with the classic, as is only right. #filmsky #moviesky

Mildly surprised there's a fair number of kids at the Somerville Theatre's #Godzillathon, but shouldn't be. I guess I tend to fall into the trap that this stuff is just for old nerds rather than the kids it was originally made for, try as I might not to.
