Gojira ) is the roaring granddaddy of all monster movies. It’s also a remarkably humane and melancholy drama, made in Japan at a time when the country was reeling from nuclear attack and H-bomb testing in the Pacific. Its rampaging radioactive beast, the poignant embodiment of an entire population’s fears, became a beloved international icon of destruction, spawning more than thirty sequels. A thrilling, tactile spectacle that continues to be a cult phenomenon, the original 1954 Japanese version is presented here, along with Godzilla, King of the Monsters, the 1956 “Americanized” version. 4K UHD + BLU-RAY SPECIAL EDITION FEATURES Review: This, the ORIGINAL great-grandfather of all giant Japanese monster movies is still probably the best of its kind EVER made. - One of my all-time favorite monster movies. Most people know this classic story, especially since the basic plot is very similar to several other 50's-era monster movies. Atomic testing in the south pacific resurrects a hibernating prehistoric dinosaur, mutating it into a horrific nuclear-powered engine of destruction who then rises from the depths to unleash his terrible vengeance on the nearest land mass: Japan. An eccentric scientist has created a device that might be capable of destroying the beast, but he fears his invention might be more deadly than the monster itself. Will he build the device and use it to stop Godzilla or will he destroy the blueprints? What would YOU do? And even if he builds the device... will it work? There's a reason why GOJIRA is listed by Japanese film critics as one of the top five greatest motion pictures ever made in Japan. It's unashamed anti-nuclear message is laid bare to see if you're paying attention and resonates so much more powerfully when you consider that the country which made the film had just become the first peoples on earth to survive a direct nuclear attack less than a decode before. With that said it also manages to be a gripping, rousingly intense horror-adventure film as well. This film is POWERFUL and its raw, semi-documentary style really helps underscore the seriousness of its subject matter. The U.S. version is a little more watered down, but the visuals are still strong stuff. You rarely, if ever, saw the aftermath of creature attacks in US-made monster flicks. In those movies the Hero vanquishes the monster, wins The Girl, saves the day and then stands basking in glow of triumphant victory as the final credits roll. Here in stark contrast, the nation's capitol city has been burned to the ground. Hundreds, perhaps thousands, are either dead or dying, with untold more buried beneath the scorched rubble. Even for the survivors there is no clear-cut cause for celebration, since they themselves may soon succumb to a slow, torturous death from radiation poisoning due to being too close to Godzilla during his rampage. At this film's end, only the self-sacrifice of a tortured anti-hero has narrowly wrestled victory from the jaws of defeat, while the remaining members of the cast are left to mourn the noble scientist, some saluting, some crying their eyes out. Whew! That's pretty potent stuff for a "kiddie monster movie." Somber-voiced Raymond Burr stars as determined United World News reporter Steve Martin, in one of his first heroic film roles. The infamously 'Americanized' version of the film removes 20 minutes of original footage, substituting newly-shot scenes which turn Burr into the de facto lead of the picture. It's quite cleverly done and holds up pretty well considering the rushed schedule and miniscule budget. American footage director Terry Morse cranked out a lot of product in his career and turned in another solid effort here, quickly getting all the needed shots, (allegedly filmed in anywhere from one day to a week, depending on who you ask), to blend Burr into the Japanese footage fairly seamlessly. Burr was the PERFECT choice for the part. His voice-over narration contains some of the most iconic lines ever put on film and is one of the reasons this version has gone on to become a bona fide classic of the genre. Prior to this Burr had predominantly played heavies in film, and it was his portrayal of the doggedly determined reporter that helped him transition into 'good guy' roles and, according to Burr himself, helped him land the role with which he is most famously associated: championing TV lawyer Perry Mason. Those movie viewers accustomed to rapid-fire editing styles and hyper-realistic CGI effects may have a tough time sticking with the film's slow pacing and the long stretches where the title monster isn't stomping across the screen. They may also laugh at the primitive visual effects, but more's the pity for them. Personally I love this film. It's powerful, gripping, emotionally draining at times, and great (if extremely somber) entertainment, and of course it launched one of the longest-running franchises in movie history. Godzilla himself has gone on to become one of the most widely-recognized pop culture icons on Earth. That's a pretty impressive feat for a handful of guys, (producer Tomoyuki Tanaka, director Ishiro Honda, special effects creator Eiji Tsuburaya, and composer Akira Ifukube), who took on the task of creating a movie that was based on another movie (The Beast From 20,000 Fathoms), which was based on a short story (Ray Bradbury's "The Foghorn")! Film composer Akira Ifukube wrote the entire powerfully iconic score for the film in less than a week, without ever having seen a single frame of the film... just the shooting script and a few pieces of concept art(!). He also cleverly created Godzilla's one-of-a-kind, instantly-recognizable signature roar, rubbing a resin-coated leather glove across the loosened stings of a contra bass, with a microphone placed inside. The combined efforts of these gentlemen has gone on to become one of the cornerstone films in the history of science fiction / monster movies. The special effects techniques utilized in this film were more or less made up as they went along. Tsuburaya wanted to create them using stop-motion animation, the same way the effects in his favorite film, KING KONG, had been achieved. But he knew that no one (including himself) was well-versed enough in the technique to do it in a convincing, esthetically pleasing manner, and certainly not in the allotted time they had to get the effect shots in the can in order to meet the film's targeted release date. Instead they constructed intricately-detail miniature landscape & cityscape sets, a technique Tsuburaya had honed in his movie-making years prior to World War II. Then he & his team fabricated a huge suit out of bamboo, wire mesh and layers of rubber. The thing reportedly weighed around 200lbs and only had a handful of pea-sized holes cut into the neck area for Haruo Nakajima, (the stuntman/actor who portrayed big G in his first dozen screen adventures), to see & breath out of. He reportedly lost 10lbs a day inside the stifling costume and had to have it opened every few minutes to allow fresh air in or he risked suffocation. He was cut by the raw edges of bamboo strips used to reinforce the suit and stabbed by internally-exposed sections of wire mesh used to give the rubber shape & mass, but toughed it out to give the world a truly monstrous performance. This man-in-a-suit style helped launch an entire sub-industry and F/X style (suitmation) all their own that is still used to this day. As expected, Criterion treats this classic atomic age monster with the respect it so richly deserves. They report that their master was made from the best possible film elements but, to be brutally honest, it's still not much better-looking than the Sony double-disc release of Gojira/Godzilla from a few years ago. It's a shame that someone hasn't ponied up the dough needed to do a total frame-by-frame restoration, complete with elimination of all print defects/damage. It would be terrific to have the original Japanese version AND the equally iconic American adaption looking like they'd just been filmed yesterday. Perhaps when the next generation of home video media is created (4k?) this can be done. There are some excellent supplements included iwth the film, which features the original full length, unedited Japanese version, w/ subtitles and the Americanized 1956 adaption with Burr. GODZILLA is a 5 STAR film in either version and, all-in-all, this Criterion release is also a 5 STAR recommendation. Review: Criterion Collection Blu-ray Godzilla - FINALLY an Excellent Restoration and Transfer - It's apparent that Godzilla, the Japanese and U.S. release versions, have had a number of DVD and Blu-ray transfers, some of which have been abysmal. Beware of the reviews here as desertcart sadly lumps them all together by the film title and be certain which disc the review covers. In my opinion Criterion did an excellent job with a difficult task of restoring and transferring not one, but two films to Blu-ray, the 1954 original Japanese release, and the 1956 recut, reedited U.S. release with English dubbing and added Raymond Burr footage (shot in US). These are the best restorations and transfers yet; excellent given the condition of the film prints used. Highlights and shadows generally retain details, grayscale is even throughout and there are few flaws. Some film damage with scratches and pinholes can be occasionally seen but I believe attempting to fix what didn't get repaired in the restoration and cleaning would have done more harm than good. Audio restoration seems quite good given the poor fidelity of the original mono soundtrack. There is some audible distortion but believe it to be firmly entrenched in the original sound recording; i did not detect any obvious hiss. On the othe hand, Godzilla's roaring and foot stomping thumps sound quite good, a pleasant surprise. The Criterion Blu-ray is the best and most comprehensive Godzilla transfer to date. Criterion includes BOTH complete versions of the film - the original 1954 Japanese one released in Japan, and the recut and reedited 1956 U.S. version with Raymond Burr and English dubbing. The Japan release is the main film and the US release in its entirety is in the "supplement" section of the disc menu. Purists generally bemoan, sometimes stridently, the cutting, editing and added Raymond Burr footage in the US version, which converts the film from traditional narrative into a film noir style. The basic story is not lost, nor is some of the anti-nuke testing morality statement (albeit toned down a bit). Had the Japanese release been imported with only English subtitles - as had been done with other Japnese films, Godzilla would have come and gone quietly with distribution limited to the handful of independent Art Film theaters in major metropolitan areas. The recutting and reediting with added Raymond Burr footage and English dubbing in key places enabled the film to be much more widely distributed and enjoy substantially wider acceptance by US moviegoers. While we might cringe about it now, it was the right business decision at the time with box office success beyond wildest imagination. We can appreciate the Japanese version as the original film and concept, but should remember the US import version is what gave Godzilla its global cult status. It's also what we saw in the grindhouse theaters in their Saturday morning and matinee B-movie monster fests, and on Saturday afternoons on independent TV stations (non-network affiliates) - which is when I first saw Godzilla in the 1960's. Bear in mind this film was made in Japan just months after the massive Castle Bravo H-bomb test done by the US in the Marshall Islands - on Japan's doorstep in the Pacific - one of many - but perhaps the most notorious as the largest ever detonated by the US, above ground, with a massive 15 Megaton yield that was 3x more than its grossly underestimated 4-6 Megaton yield. As a consequence, the exclusion zone around ground zero was much too small, and fallout contamination affected the entire region with the largest radiological "accident" in US history. It also generated major diplomatic problems in the region (not just with Japan). Just like the Space Race a decade later, the Cold War was in a major H-bomb race, with the Soviets in the lead with the first practical H-bomb (deliverable weapon) by several months. This and other bomb tests spurred the many 1950's horror B-movies with monsters created by radiation exposure. Godzilla was among the first of them, and is the most famous and widely recognized - adding the "zilla" slang suffix to the English lexical - to characterize the noun it modifies as a grotesqely gargantuan monstrosity. The 1998 remake was a box office success but a critical failure. In my opinion still worth seeing (in spite of its glitzy schlockiness) but there is nothing like the cult classic original - Japan or US version, take your pick ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Contributor | Ishiro Honda, Takashi Shimura | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 1,434 Reviews | | Format | 4K, Subtitled | | Genre | Sci-Fi, Horror | | Language | Japanese | | Runtime | 1 hour and 36 minutes | ## Product Details - **Genre:** Sci-Fi, Horror - **Format:** Subtitled, 4K - **Contributor:** Takashi Shimura, Ishiro Honda - **Language:** Japanese - **Runtime:** 1 hour and 36 minutes ## Images ![Godzilla (The Criterion Collection) [4K UHD] - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81b7hXQHLnL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This, the ORIGINAL great-grandfather of all giant Japanese monster movies is still probably the best of its kind EVER made. *by S***Y on January 25, 2014* One of my all-time favorite monster movies.

The roaring grandfather of all monster movies! *by N***D on March 11, 2012* I was very pleasantly surprised to find that Criterion's smashing release of this classic, the first original "Godzilla" movie, came in a box specially tailored for film nerds and geeks of all ages. Open up the cover with its exquisite print painting of the colossus itself, its huge tail dangling in the path of fire and destruction it leaves behind, and flip it open to reveal a cut-out pop-up of Godzilla. It reminds me of a postcard I once received as a child, which upon opening delivers a pop-out madness of huge dinosaurs and octopi destroying skyscrapers and crossroads. There is something inherently fascinating and thrilling about huge prehistoric and other-worldly monsters coming into our safe urban environments and creating chaos. And this is the movie that gave new life to a film genre that had been fleetingly touched upon by the appearance of King Kong some twenty years earlier. Upon watching this gem of classic suspense movies, which now has over half a century under its waist, I was struck by how timeless it seems. Even though the hand-made special effects and action is no longer awesome or frightening in any way, the drama is rather touching. The film, despite its insufficient technical qualities, feels very earnest, and it is rather moving sometimes. The sentiments expressed are very Japanese, but also very human, and considering the time when it was made (so soon, no more than a decade and a half after Hiroshima) its poignancy is not lost upon us all the way to today. When you discover that an actual fishing crew really came upon an H-bomb testing in the sea outside of Japan and that they almost died from radiation poisoning, and that this inspired the making of the film, it is perhaps not very surprising to perceive the film as very earnest and realistic despite its fantastical metaphorical nature. For a metaphor it is, the magnificent terrorist monster Godzilla, a metaphor of the destruction we humankind often inflict upon other people and ourselves. Warfare, atomic bombs, mass terror and mass destruction, all too common subjects back in post-Second World War society. Simply the roots to all science fiction and modern horror where huge monsters created through science spread chaos, the examples are endless. And even though Hiroshima and WWII are soon to be remnants of modern history, no more than mere souvenirs of the past, the genre and subgenres persist and will live on, because as long as there is disaster and conflict in the world, the themes will be sorely needed. We will probably need to have all our fears materialized in a large monster which can be defeated by heroes and eventually is, just for some time longer to come. As I said before, this old movie may look corny today, with its plastic models of Tokyo and armies being crushed by a fake monster lizard in an obvious suit and the intercut sections of people running away from a rubber doll, "Godzilla" from 1954 still has something to offer that modern adventures with all the eye-popping effects they provide can still lack. That is the ingenuity, the craftsmanship, the storytelling. And the depth that this seemingly simple-minded matiné actually possesses. For although Godzilla is a rather silly, rather cute, very obviously home-made puppet, the people's tragedy is all too real, and its acted and produced in such a fashion as to almost make one feel as if this is a documentary about the hardships endured by the Japanese people of the 1940s and '50s that is sporadically interspersed with some anti-nuclear propaganda as symbolized by Godzilla itself. I say never mind the special effects, never mind the visuals or anything else about the film that shows its age. Just sit back and enjoy the purity of this chaos as therapeutic fantasy for trauma victims and anyone who needs the kick that comes out of seeing fleeing masses trampled underfoot, a kick we all need at times, surely? Thanks to Criterion for giving me this opportunity for some harmless indulgence and allowing me to find this thrill from the most unexpected place, a film I would probably never have seen otherwise. ## Frequently Bought Together - Godzilla (The Criterion Collection) [4K UHD] - The Shape of Water (The Criterion Collection) [4K UHD] --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.in/products/651178004-godzilla-the-criterion-collection-4k-uhd](https://www.desertcart.in/products/651178004-godzilla-the-criterion-collection-4k-uhd) --- *Product available on Desertcart India* *Store origin: IN* *Last updated: 2026-08-22*
