Godzilla, Mothra, King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack AKA GMK

After the box office was down after "Godzilla X Megaguirus" Toho hired Shusuke Kaneko the director of the Heisei Gamera Trilogy to try and revive the Godzilla franchise like he did Gamera. However Toho made a few changes to the original idea and gave Kaneko a tight filming schedule.

Godzilla X Megagauirus

Unlike the Heisei films that were connected in one way or another, most of the films in the Millennium series are stand alone with there own backstories. Although they usually referenced back to the original 1954 Godzilla. This time we have a alternate history where Japan has no nuclear power and has moved the capital to Osaka.    

Godzilla 2000

Even though there was a movie titled "Godzilla" by Tri-Star released in 1998, there is no actual Godzilla in that film so total screen time is 0:00. We will just move on to the next Toho Godzilla film "Godzilla 2000", the first of the Millennium Godzilla films were almost all have there own backstory and continuity.  

Godzilla Vs. Destoroyah

Knowing that Hollywood was finally going to make a Godzilla movie, Toho decided to wrap up the Heisei series with a bang announcing that Godzilla Dies right on the movie poster.

Godzilla Vs. Spacegodzilla

For Godzilla's 40th anniversary, although that is what they where advertising the last one as, they decided to bring new director, writer, and composer. For the new villain they went with another Godzilla doppelgänger making Godzilla the underdog once again to a larger more powerful foe. While Godzilla screen time is not as much as the last entry, the final fight is the longest so far.

 

Godzilla Vs. Mechagodzilla (1993) aka Godzilla Vs. Mechagodzilla II

On the heels of the success of "Godzilla Vs. Mothra", which made even more money then the last three Godzilla films, Toho decided it was time to bring back Godzilla next most popular foe Mechagodzilla, and an updated version of Rodan and Minilla by the end of the next year. The result is Godzilla longest screen time to date, passing Godzilla Vs. Hedorah.

 

Godzilla Vs. Mothra aka Godzilla and Mothra: The Battle For Earth

They brought back Kazuki Omori to write but he doesn't direct this time, the new director is Takao Okawara. With this entry Toho is releasing a new Godzilla every December.
