No Godzilla collection would be complete without the Criterion Showa Era (1954-1975) Blu Ray collection.
While a horrible fit for the shelves, the oversized book-style packaging is very nicely illustrated.
It's hard to complain about what's included, it isn't quite definitive, particularly for the fan who grew up watching the US dubs of the films on television. Some films, such as the original Godzilla and King Kong vs Godzilla, are present in both their Japanese and US versions. And while some of the films do include US dubs in addition to subtitles, not all do, and those that do are not always the dubs audiences will be familiar with. But it's a small price to pay to have Godzilla's first 15 outings in high-definition!
Be here next week for another item from my Godzilla collection!
