GODZILLA
Hmm, let's see, what can I say about Godzilla that can justify the series... How about, that it is one of if not the most famous monster movie franchises of all time and has captivated a global audience and is practically the forefather of an entire genre.

One thing that bothers me though, is the lack of continuity between the movies. as stated in countless talk pages is that there are bits of missing information that can confuse the viewer. Such is the case with every installment of the Mellenium series, exept maybe Tokyo S.O.S. Each series started fresh ignoring every detail inbetween. How did Godzilla end up with so many enemies in Final Wars if he was trapped in ice since the first, or at lest second movie?

The movies were great in some ways and terrible in others. But overall, why would we watch them if we didn't like them?

Gamera
Godzilla's success rubed of on many other monster movie franchises that follow the same basic formula, monsters baching eachover and oblitarating anything in site.

The most famous was Daiei's Gamera. A giant turtle, how original (no sarcasm), who would expect a little creature with a shell would grow in the overgrown monstrous bieng of limitless destructive capability. A mindless killing machine in the first movie, Gamera evolved into a guardian of the universe and friend of all children, and saved the world countless times from monsters such Gyaos.

The movies tend to not focus much on the monster fights rather than unbearably long dialouges and explenations. Appart from this, they're overall a good set of movies.

Yongarry
South Korea followed also with Yongarry, a blue lizard with a horn on it's head.This Creature though, has never apeared in more than one movie, not counting Reptilian from the early ninetees.
