Godzilla Minus One is finally here, and here is how big Godzilla is in the film compared to how tall he is in other Godzilla movies. One of Godzilla's most iconic trademarks is his size, with the terrifying titular titan towering over cities as he brings them to rubble. Tons of iterations of Godzilla have been presented throughout cinema history, with the different Godzillas varying in size, so here is how big the monster is in Godzilla Minus One.

Godzilla Minus One is the lastest film in the iconic monster movie franchise, with it surpassing expectations by being even more acclaimed than Legendary's ongoing MonsterVerse series. Godzilla Minus One has broken all kinds of box office records, with it being a smash hit and even becoming the largest domestic debut for a live-action Japanese film ever. Godzilla Minus One's success has drawn a lot of eyes to the film, with many wondering how big Godzilla is in the latest film.

Godzilla Is Around 164 Feet Tall In Godzilla Minus One

Godzilla is described as being 164 feet (50 meters) in Godzilla Minus One, setting the monster at a pretty fearsome size. While 164 feet is far from the biggest that Godzilla has been, this size makes him easily big enough to tower over cities and step on humans without even realizing it. Although some buildings are bigger than Godzilla in the film, the radioactive monster doesn't have much trouble leveling Japan thanks to his size.

While Godzilla is 164 feet for most of Godzilla Minus One, this isn't his only size. In fact, Godzilla actually changes size throughout the film. Before being mutated, Godzilla was still a pretty big monster, with him being about 50 feet tall. However, the 164-foot tall version is almost three times as big as it used to be, making Godzilla a horrifying threat.

Godzilla's Size In Minus One Compared To Other Movies

Godzilla Minus One sets its titular monster at 164 feet, causing many to wonder how that compares to Godzilla's size in other movies. As it turns out, Godzilla was also 164 feet (50 meters) in the original 1954 film, with Godzilla Minus One remaining consistent with the original movie. Godzilla stayed at this size through 1975's Terror of Mechagodzilla, with Godzilla growing to 262 feet tall for 1984's Return of Godzilla, only for him to grow to a whopping 328 feet in 1991's Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah, the biggest seen in a Japanese Godzilla until Shin Godzilla, in which he was 388 feet.

The first American Godzilla remake was released in 1998, with it portraying Godzilla as 229 feet tall. Godzilla grew even bigger in Legendary's MonsterVerse, with him being 354 feet in 2014's Godzilla and growing to 394 feet for Godzilla: King of the Monsters and Godzilla vs. Kong. This makes the MonsterVerse's iteration of Godzilla much bigger than the one seen in Godzilla Minus One, but that doesn't mean that they are scarier.

Godzilla Minus One

Godzilla Minus One is the first Godzilla film released by Toho since 2016's Shin Godzilla. Minus One is a reimagining of the original 1954 Godzilla and takes the franchise back to its roots by exploring the harsh life of post-war Japan.
