Godzilla's past, present, and hopefully not lousy future: A three-film primer

Techrepublic.com has a pretty good article where the author highlights three films as "primers" for anyone just starting out with Godzilla.

(With over 20+ films to choose from, the author wanted to narrow things down for added convenience).

Besides the original classic Gojira, the other three films are Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah - Giant Monsters All-Out Attack, Godzilla Vs Hedorah and Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah.

All interesting and inspired choices, as all three remain good staples within the Godzilla franchise.

I especially like the author's pick of Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah - Giant Monsters All-Out Attack, as that remains quite a wildcard of sorts.  Never before has Godzilla been portrayed as such an evil entity, and it was equally rare (and quite delightful) to see King Ghidorah take on the role of an anti-hero.

Only with Godzilla 1985 did I see Godzilla act more villainous, but GMK certainly had it's moments.

Also Hedorah remains one of the most revered one-shot villains yet. There's just something so unique about his concept and design...he just begs to be reused.

I've heard him mentioned as a potential villain within the new Godzilla reboot, but I think it's more fan-dreams than anything else.

Using Hedorah would immediately make the film too politically correct, as no doubt it would have to point towards Earth's pollution problems.

In any case here's the original article:
