Godzilla (a.k.a. Gojira) 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 reeling from nuclear attack and H-bomb testing in the Pacific. Its rampaging radioactive beast, the poignant embodiment of an entire population’s fears, became a beloved internati...
Ishiro Honda’s cult favourite, the mother of all monster films, Godzilla, receives a Criterion Blu-ray, which presents the film in its original aspect ratio of 1.37:1 on this dual-layer disc in a new 1080p/24hz high-definition transfer. I haven’t seen the Blu-ray previously released by Classic Media but based on reviews of that disc, which mostly c...
Audio still shows its age but it has been cleaned up fairly significantly. The lossless Japanese linear PCM 1.0 mono track does sound a little flat and can be a bit tinny with some mild noise but I didn’t detect any significant damage or pops. It’s weak but it’s at least pretty clean.
Criterion loads up some nice material for this edition, starting with a very passionate audio commentary provided by David Kalat, author of A Critical History and Filmography of Toho’s Godzilla series.

- Godzilla. 1954. Godzilla (a.k.a. Gojira) 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 reeling from nuclear attack and H-bomb testing in the Pacific.
- Godzilla Raids Again. 1955. Toho Studios followed the enormous success of the original Godzilla with this sequel, efficiently directed by Motoyoshi Oda as a straight-ahead monsters-on-the-loose drama.
- King Kong vs. Godzilla. 1963. After his first two cinematic rampages, Godzilla was revived as an adversary for the Hollywood import King Kong. When Kong is discovered on a remote island by a publicity-hungry pharmaceutical company, the giant ape is set on a collision course with Godzilla, and Japan braces for a double dose of devastation.
- Mothra vs. Godzilla. 1964. Godzilla faces off against the benevolent insect monster-god Mothra in this clash of the titans, a crossover battle between two of Toho Studios’ most popular monsters—the last in which Godzilla would figure as a malevolent villain rather than a fearsome hero.
