There's always been which Godzilla is your most favorite. but I'll ask which Godzilla is the most ugliest of all? For me I say the one from son of Godzilla, Because he has such a weird shape head almost looks like a frog instead of a Dinosaur or a Lizard.

The GxMegalon suit always irked me. Looks too cute. Like a kitten face or something. And GFinalWars suit, the head was too small and bird like for my tastes. I definitely see what you mean with the Son of G suit. Strange positioning of the eyes to the other features. I kinda like it tho.

I think that the Godzilla from the 1998 movie is the ugliest. Oh, wait. That wasn't Godzilla, that was Zilla!  But seriously, the Godzilla from Son of Godzilla looks like a turd. Also, I think the Final Wars Goji looks awesome.

Yeah, the Final Wars Godzilla looked a little weird. Too humanoid/skinny and the lower jaw looked too thin-- like it was going to break off or something...

And I'll take suit/design from Son of Godzilla over the Cute-zilla from Godzilla vs. Megalon. I'm glad they changed the head on that suit for the MechaGodzilla movies.

Yea, I was going to write that same thing. That the suits in GxMekaG films were pretty similar to the GxMegalon suit, just not as cute and annoying. They actually looked really cool. And When MechaGodzilla was in his Godzilla skin costume, THAT Godzilla looked REALLY cool too!

Didn't like the Son of Godzilla suit, and I know I'm in the minority here, but I didn't like the GMK suit. In fact, I didn't like any of the suits in that movie. They looked like a bunch of old men with bad backs. Slouched over and awkward. I liked the movie, but not the suits. 

But yeah, almost any from the late 60's - 70's were not that great IMHO.

no doubt about it, Son of Godzilla but I also HATE mechagodzilla 1993. They reused the suit in space godzilla but refitted the legs and head better.

As ugly as the Musukogoji (1967) suit is, I've always had a soft spot for it!  My pick is an odd one.  in 1974, an ugly as all get out publicity suit was created by Toho for public appearences.  It was neer intended to be used in a film, but as the 70s films got cheaper and cheaper, they were forced to utalize it in Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla and Terror of Mechagodzilla.  It can be seen in the Fake Godzilla vs Anguirus scenes and the first GvsMG battle before Mechagodzilla sheds his skin, and in the last scene of Terror of Mechagodzilla where Godzilla wades into the sea for the last time in the Showa series.  The suit just has this unappealing, somewhat disturbing toothy grin that always rubbs me the wrong way.  He looks like Gwynplaine from The Man Who Laughs. :/

Don't hate me for this but I hate the 54 original suit with a passion. Love the movie but that suit is horrid. GMK's suit was God awful too. Pot bellied no pupils for the eyes yuck! Son of Godzilla was just a downright ugly suit. Final Wars I dug it a lot except for the ears always hate it when they give him visible ear lobes. Also my all time favorite is the suit used in Destroy All Monsters classic still looks great today in my opinion.

glad to see other people weren't partial to the gmk suit and I didn't even think of the stand in suit for mechagodzilla 74. I also got to mention the kiryu godzilla. Blending classic with the 2000 design was an awesome idea but the suit looked so emotionless to me. Now the 84 Godzilla looked like a zombie too  but that worked to it's advantage, made him really creepy. Ah, lets throw in one more, Godzilla Raids again, pure crap.

I can understand the complaints against the GMK suit, but I think the positives outweigh the negatives, by far. It's a fantastic design and the animatronics were second to none.

Otherwise I'm really not a fan of any of the Millennium suits. The Godzilla in the Kiryu movies looked better than the Godzilla 2000 suit, but it still suffered from a plastic look to it. Both it and the Final Wars Godzilla also suffer from an oddly curved snout. Sorta looks like Gonzo from the muppets.

Son of Godzilla and Godzilla vs the Sea Monster are the worst suits in my opinion.

The suit from Ebirah Horror of the deep is pretty bad. I don't know what they were thinking making the eyes so big. The suit from son of Godzilla is a close second.

i think the GMK Suit was the worst because of the posture of it but i also think it was the most sinister that bad boy was mean just like Godzilla 98.
