Invasion of Astro-Monster (1965) review [The Godzilla Project]
A great narrative that is marred by budget and time-constraints.

Son Of Godzilla (1967) review [The Godzilla Project]
Fukuda’s second narrative nevertheless constitutes an infantilisation of the evocative and metaphorical dimension of Godzilla.

Mothra (1961) review [The Godzilla Project]
By elegantly using the kaiju Mothra, Honda warns the Japanese spectator of the destructive societal effects that the blind adoption of unrestricted capitalism and wild consumption can cause.

Rodan (1956) review [The Godzilla Project]

Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters (1968) review [The Godzilla Project]
Honda delivers another narrative in which Otherness is feared and a deceptive imaginary sense of societal harmony is subtly celebrated.

Ebirah, Horror Of The Deep (1966) review [The Godzilla Project]
