Top 10 Giant Movie Monsters

Monster movies are my favorite. So here's a list of the giant monsters.
The Top Ten
Godzilla Godzilla is a giant monster originating from a series of tokusatsu films of the same name from Japan.

He is terrifyingly powerful. Clover is big but much lighter than Godzilla. Also, Godzilla is an original movie monster. His representation in his first movie was impactful as well. He symbolized the Hiroshima bomb. Even some of the other monsters represent significant concepts. Rodan symbolizes the Soviet bomb, and Mothra represents hope. Clover is just a cool movie monster, but Gojira represents mankind's mistakes and fears.

Since 1954, Gojira has stomped into the genre's heart. Inspired by King Kong, 20 years later, Honda and Toho produced our favorite radioactive dinosaur. I see why he is the King of the Monsters, with 30+ films in Japan, 4 films in the U.S., and about 8 cartoons/TV shows. With only about 3 losses, he deserves that title. He lost to Kong first - his first monster loss ever - and also to Mothra, MechaGodzilla, and Mecha King Ghidorah. Not bad. Go, Go Godzilla!

King Kong King Kong is a giant movie monster, resembling a colossal ape, that has appeared in various media since 1933. The character first appeared in the 1933 film King Kong, which received universal acclaim upon its initial release and re-releases.

I definitely like mammals better than reptiles, so of course I choose this to be #1. I just think the movie is a better classic.

The remakes:
The CGI Godzilla wasn't so successful, but the CGI King Kong was an awesome success. Definitely #1.

Yes, you also know this is number 2. King Kong is an original monster just like Godzilla. We should call King Kong the Prince of the Monsters.

I agree that he's an original, going back to 1933. He's also almost at the same power level as Godzilla.

Gamera Gamera is a giant monster or daikaiju originating from a series of Japanese tokusatsu films of the same name.

Since 1965, with 12 films, fans have been waiting in high anticipation for Gamera. Rocket-flying, UFO-spinning, open-chest plasma-throwing, fireball-launching - this friend to all children and Guardian of the Universe is number 3. Will we see him battle Godzilla?

Looks like a giant ninja turtle shooting giant fireballs from his mouth. He is like the giant reptilian counterpart of Superman, a reptilian savior. The most bitter rival of Godzilla.

A fire-breathing turtle who can fly, eat fire, and kill bad guys! Is that awesome?

King Ghidorah King Ghidorah is one of Godzilla's most well known enemies. First appearing in 1964's Ghidorah, the Three Headed Monster, he has gone on to appear in more films than most other Godzilla foes.

He is really bad at fighting. When he fought Godzilla, he revived three times and STILL lost! Laugh out loud.

He is Godzilla's main villain. He could fly, shoot lightning, and has three heads. He could even get to space.

Godzilla's archrival and the most powerful monster in the world.

Mothra

I kind of like insects being giants, and Mothra is my favorite. Another monster that everyone likes.

A show-stealer. Way better than Godzilla or Kong.

Long live the Queen of the Monsters!

Rodan

I love him. I'm glad he comes back in the MonsterVerse. He could make small things fly with his supersonic waves. I felt sad for him in Godzilla vs. MechaGodzilla when he dies for Godzilla and Godzilla Jr.

Such an underrated monster! Just 2 years after the infamous Gojira was released... Oh, and by the way, FIRE RODAN... Enough said.

Rodan saved Godzilla's life and upgraded his atomic breath to the spiral ray.

Clover

If you don't count anime, Trevor Henderson, etc., this is one of, if not the biggest, film monsters - being in the kilometers. Don't believe me? Watch Cloverfield Paradox.

The way the movie reveals Clover is so suspenseful and horrifying (in a good way). Hopefully, we get a chance to see him again!

Now that's a monster. No mutations or anything - it's just an alien monster. Although its name should be changed. I should call it Monstrous.

The Stay Puft Marshmallow Man
Ultraman

Over 30-40 TV show incarnations since 1966, still going strong in 2023. King of Kyodai Heroes! Films and cartoons - the Japanese Superman!

Ultraman, Gamera, Godzilla, and King Kong - if they are not your top 4, your list is not legit!

Destoroyah

Destoroyah is one of my favorite villains from the Godzilla movies. His forms are awesome, and his design is fire. I would like to see him in the MonsterVerse. The only time I don't like him is when he kills Godzilla Jr.

The Newcomers

? Megazord (Power Rangers, 2017 Movie)

Not just the movie or the other movie, but the 30-40 incarnations of the Megazords since 1979 to 2020 and beyond - it's the best and most consistent mech! There have also been cartoons. I can't wait to see what's next!

? Gundam
The Contenders
Mega Shark

Yes, I know I'm going to regret this, but come on, guys. You just hate this movie because of CGI. Well, at least you get to see a Megalodon fight other creatures.

Kiryu Mechagodzilla 3
Gigan

My third favorite villain of Godzilla. He has a laser, hooks, a flamethrower, and things to grab enemies. His death in Final Wars was awesome. I would like to see him in the MonsterVerse.

Mecha Godzilla

It is just a robot version of Godzilla, but it has guns and shoots lasers from its eyes. But it's nice.

Tyrannosaurus Rex

The king of the dinosaurs. One of my favorite dinosaurs, but I was sad when it died in JP 3 because of that dumb Spinosaurus.

Green Gargantua
The Kraken
Gyaos
The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms
Gwoemul
The Kaiju
Leviathan
Gorosaurus
Space Godzilla
Shark (Jaws)
