Which is the worse of them all: Son of Godzilla, All Monsters Attack, Godzilla vs Hedorah or Megalon?

I have to disagree with a few of those.

First off, NONE of them are half as bad as Godzilla vs. SpaceGodzilla, which I don't understand why that gets a pass. vs. SpaceGodzilla is without a doubt, tonally, atmospherically and visually the most inconsistant, poorly written Godzilla movie of the series.

Son of Godzilla is actually a fantastic movie. Yeah, the Godzilla suit is fairly putrid. And fans don't like Minya. But the story and effects were great and a definite breath of fresh air from the more militaristic and "world ending" movies that Honda did from 1964/65. It's a great film for families. Just because it is a family film doesn't make it bad.

Godzilla vs. Hedorah... the fanbase isn't going to ever agree on this one. I think it's a good movie and that the reason it's well made is because it stands out as fairly weird. It's something of an arthouse Godzilla movie. It contrasts the "kiddie" moments in an ironic fashion with the dark tones.

Godzilla vs. Megalon is pretty horrid. Agreed there. On your list it's easily the worst. But it's still a better movie than vs. SpaceGodzilla since it atleast has a consistant screenplay and some characters that make damn sense.

Godzilla's Revenge is underrated and misunderstood. I wrote an article that adequettely frames my opinion of the movie here: Revenge for Godzilla's Revenge

But Godzilla vs. SpaceGodzilla takes the cake for me. Hands down. And what about Godzilla: Final Wars? Sure it's fun and groovy, but it's one mess of a film. What about Godzilla vs. Megaguirus? Could the characters in that be any worse? Godzilla vs. Gigan is pretty bad, though, again the fanbase is pretty split on it. It actually uses more stock footage than vs. Megalon! Godzilla and Mothra: The Battle for Earth is so mediocre it's actually forgettable.

I don't know... That list doesn't scream out to me as the worst of the worst. It just lists movies fans generally don't like because they veer away from the norm.

Godzilla vs. SpaceGodzilla is the worst movie of the series.

I hate Godzilla vs Hedorah ONLY because of Hedorah. He is the worst Kaiju in my opinion. Walking polution that can fly, that has eyes? Ugh, so lame.

Yet I also agree with GMAN, Godzilla vs SpaceGodzilla was pretty bad lol

I like Godzilla VS SpaceGodzilla. I think the worst is Godzilla's Revenge.

Spacegodzilla is an aweful movie, even though I liked spacegodzilla himself. But Megalon, Gigan, and revenge are my least favorite. (Spacegodzill and Megagurias are not far behind) I agree with some statements above that Godzilla vs Hedorah is underrated, but still not in the top half of Godzilla movies (for me, at least). But hey, to each there own.

I can understand fans knee jerk reaction for Godzilla's Revenge to be listed as a least favorite. But I still contend it's a great story.

But like Something Real, I get a headache listing everything wrong with vs. SpaceGodzilla. I think I tried listing it once and realized I still wasn't hitting on all the problems in it...

Godzilla vs Hedorah is actually the only one I actually hate out of all the godzilla movies.

Godzilla's Revenge I don't mind too much, I enjoyed it as a kid as I got to see godzilla fights that I didn't have the moives for and even today i still enjoy a bit.

Son of Godzilla.... Can't comment on as it's the only Godzilla movie I haven't seen, could never find a copy of it in my town and now that I'm older I just haven't gotten around to it.

Godzilla vs Megalon, meh, I don't even really call it a godzilla movie, he barely in it and more a like cameo like in Zone fighter.

As for Spacegodzilla and Battle for Earth, yeah they're bad but not that bad. They both had some cool monster designs.

Didn't know Godzilla vs Megaguirus supposely bad, I enjoyed it greatly, scare me as a kid though.

Getting back to Godzilla vs Hedorah. The problem with it is that it had no idea what it wanted to be. One minute it's some strange documenty about space and it's connection with pollution. Then all of the sudden bang, skeletons, it's dark and creepy seeing these people die horribly then we're on to some weird music video from the 70s, then Godzilla shows up and it's kid's movie, yeah, he's beating up the bad monster and even flying!

No, just no, you can't have all of this different stuff, one minute kid's film then it's some cheap horror film. Why does this film even exist, to spread the message of to be good to nature? Godzilla already a walking message not to screw with nature! sigh, rant over.

See? You either love or hate Godzilla vs. Hedorah. The fanbase just can't seem to agree on this one.

@MediaFreak

I think the reason Godzilla vs. Hedorah works is because all these strange elements mashed together are cohesive through the oddball tone of the movie. Right from the beginning there's this very strange personality to the movie-- it's almost experimental for the Godzilla series. It takes the campiness of Godzilla and uses it in a very cult/pop-art style that's either hypnotic or grating, depending on the audience member. I don't think it's one of the best films, but it is one of the more intersting movies in the series to watch.

I'll take a movie that is visually and stylistically different (Godzilla vs. Hedorah, Godzilla's Revenge), than a movie that just goes by the numbers with same'o, same'o styles. (Godzilla vs. SpaceGodzilla)

Id have to disagree godzilla vs spacegodzilla and godzilla vs megalon are on my favorites list. But we all have our own options.

Revenge is the worst

Godzillas Revenge by far is the inferior one because it uses so much stock footage from Son of Godzilla and Godzilla vs. The Sea Monster. Godzilla vs. Spacegodzilla isn't a masterpiece by any means, but at least it didn't use any footage from previous Godzilla movies.

@Nightaries3030

Godzilla vs. SpaceGodzilla used stock footage from Godzilla vs. Biollante for the naval battle. But there's more wrong with it than simply that. Godzilla's Revenge may have its technical failings, but it had a very, very strong script and an idea that was different from any Godzilla movie to come before it. Godzilla vs. SpaceGodzilla, on the other hand, is a screenwriter's ultimate nightmare. Not to mention the worst effects in the Heisei series.

@Something Real

You pretty much nailed it. Ichiro is one of the most well developed characters in the Godzilla series and there in lies the problem: It's not a movie about Godzilla. It's a movie about a child during a depression. Ultimately, that's the most rooted reason why people dislike it. They wanted a typical Godzilla movie. Godzilla's Revenge is very far from a typical Godzilla film.

You know even if you hate SpaceGodzilla, atleast it didn't use stock footage with almost every monster fight like Revenge, Megalon, ext. 

Son of godzilla is a masterpiece! The sheer tropical vibe and interesting story still keeps me glued to the screen. Godzilla's revenge is not that good but fun. revenge is a bit of an excotic movie to me because of the japanese culture in the film. Hedorah and Megalon are also fun to watch. Heck I love every godzilla movie! I keep watching these movies every now and then because of the great time and feelings I have towards these films.

i cant say i hate any of these films either most of them had messages to go along with them so, no none of these movies are bad :)

i had no idea that people hated godzilla vs spacegodzilla i loved it ! and i love godzilla vs hedrah it is in my opinon the darkest godzilla film and dont even metion godzillas revenge (shiver) and i am actluy going to watch godzilla vs megolon for the first time today so i cant tell you about that one yet :)

i can you forget to mention Godzilla vs the sea monster/ebriah horror of the deep, that was a terrible godzilla movie

Revenge had a terrible life lesson...

fight the bully who's twice as big as you.

spacgodzilla was good, along with megagiruirius. 

I only didn't like revenge. And I was laughing the whole way through 

Standing up for yourself and growing up is a bad life lesson? Must be the current generation's mindset.vs. Megaguirus isn't quite as bad as vs. SpaceGodzilla, but it's still pretty far at the bottom.

@GodzillaFan1995

Disagree there too. Godzilla vs. The Sea Monster was awesome.
