Gojira (1954)

 
 
American nuclear weapons testing results in the creation of a seemingly unstoppable, dinosaur-like beast.
 
The original Godzilla movie is probably the best of the series, as it is well-produced and delivers the thrills while implying more political and existential issues than its successors. 
 
Halliwell (no star): "Tepid forerunner of scores of Japanese monster movies peopled by men in rubber suits."
 
Maltin***: "Grandaddy of Japanese monster movies...Much more complex and nuanced than the Americanized GODZILLA KING OF THE MONSTERS!..."
