Product ReviewsGodzilla The Showa-Era Films 1954–1975 Blu-ray Box Set Criterion Collection New

Excellent Blu-ray collection

The item arrived early in excellent new condition as described, was well priced, plays well, and is an excellent Blu-ray collection! I've personally always been a fan of kaiju/giant/monster films, and Godzilla is the biggest name in the genre. This collection has mostly the original Japanese versions of the fifteen Showa Era films, with the North American versions included for a small number. As for audio options English dubbing is available for some while the rest have English subtitles at best. Regardless this is an excellent Blu-ray collection of these films, and I am quite happy to own it!!Read full review...

Godzilla from the Showa-era!!!

Even though it was expensive, it was worth it. I grew up watching more than a few of the Godzilla movies from the Showa-era on VHS back in the day. I originally thought of buying most of them on DVD, separately. That it until I discovered this complete collection. And it was very difficult to save up for it for quite some time. But I finally managed to purchase this complete blu-ray collection.Read full review...

Not perfect but pretty darn close!

So glad to finally have this collection in HD. The films look great in CinemaScope and color. Most of the movies were taken from 35mm prints rather than the negatives, but they still look clean and theatrical. Sound is good too, though I wish English tracks were available for all of them instead of just some. Still, I am enjoying this terrific collection. BTW it comes with a book that has lots of interesting information about each movie.

Neato!Read full review...

Godzilla!!

Love Godzilla, when I bought this I was expecting a nice case with the movies. I did not realize that it's also an art book and film collection. It can make a really neat piece on the bookshelf as a result with beautiful pieces for each movie and reviews on each movie/what that movie meant to different creators. Read full review...

Great!!

The movies are great, and the art booklet that's built in that describes each movie was an amazing bonus I didn't know about.

The early years, a must have for Showa fans

A classic collection of the start of a icons career. This set is a must for most any Godzilla/Goji-fan especially for those lovers of old style Kaiju cheese.
