Three Godzillas. Three generations. One King of the Monsters… but which version truly reigns supreme?

In this triple bill episode of The Deja Review, we're taking on three versions of cinema's most iconic giant monster.
From the groundbreaking Japanese original Godzilla, to Hollywood's controversial 1998 reinvention, and finally the epic MonsterVerse reboot Godzilla, we're asking one simple question:

Which Godzilla is the true King of the Monsters?

The 1954 original wasn't just a monster movie—it was a powerful allegory about nuclear devastation that changed cinema forever.
Then came the 1998 Hollywood version, a film that divided critics, fans, and even Godzilla creator Tomoyuki Tanaka's legacy.
Finally, in 2014, Gareth Edwards brought Godzilla back to the big screen with a modern blockbuster that restored the monster's size, power, and sense of awe.

Mart and Trev dive into the origins of Godzilla, the evolution of the King of the Monsters, groundbreaking special effects, unforgettable destruction, behind-the-scenes stories, hidden references, and the biggest differences between all three films.

Was the original an untouchable masterpiece?

Was the 1998 version unfairly criticised… or did it deserve the backlash?

Did the 2014 reboot finally do Godzilla justice?

Three films. Seventy years of monster history. One colossal debate.
