    Not great. Your lack of Godzilla knowledge could prove fatal in the event of an attack by militant Godzilla fans. It could happen

  2. 8 and above.

    Not bad. You know more about Godzilla films than the average giant water-dwelling whale-gorilla. You’re definitely not a GFINO (Godzilla Fan In Name Only)

  3. 10 and above.

    Impressive! You’re a true Godzilla expert. On the downside, the Godzilla expert dies about halfway through the film. Although only when they’re in it, not when they’re watching
