Masterful Movie
Best movie ever!
An action-packed slog
It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny
View More...and i don't regret it one bit.This is classic kid-friendly Godzilla, doing for man what man can't do for himself; fend off yet another alien invasion by interstellar miscreants with a disgusting secret.The characters are dynamic, and again kid friendly, and the actors who play them actually do a fairy decent job of it, making the film that much easier to enjoy. And, as for Gojira himself, we get to witness the more dynamic and athletic Godzilla battle yet again the aliens' secret weapons; a couple of space monsters; Gigan and King Ghidorah!Accompanying Gojira is Megaruis, a.k.a. Anzilla from "Godzilla's Revenge", but, like the well meaning best friend who comes to support his buddy, he's more monster fodder than anything else.However corny, hokey, and sometimes just plain fake the Japanese effects are, there's something really compelling about Godzilla that brings us back for more.If you're single, pop in a copy for a trip down memory lane. If you have a family, then watch it with your son and enjoy some bonding time with the king of all monsters.Enjoy!
View Moreoveruse of stock footage and very low budget make this Godzilla film one of the bad one. the movie starts out with Ghidorah stock footage from Ghidorah the three headed monster and invasion of the Astro monster. Also the special effects were the worst to date. And making the monsters talk via a bubble make this the most childish Godzilla movie and make other bad Godzilla movies like all monsters attack and Godzilla vs Megalon. At least all monsters attack had the reason that this was not supposed to be a real Godzilla movie but more of a stand up for yourself kind of movie.The only good part of this movie was the Anguirus costume. It was better than the old Godzilla raids again costume. But the fact that the back legs were showing made the costume seem bad and fake
View More"Godzilla vs. Gigan" isn't up to par with the rest of the films in the Godzilla series. The acting is average at best,there isn't much action until the end of the film and the dubbing is terrible. The monsters themselves are pretty cool and I did enjoy the scene where Godzilla and Anguirus speak to each other in distorted English! As far as the aliens invading earth, Toho Studios decided on intelligent cockroaches. Umm...OK. Not the most effective part of the plot(if one can call it that). This is typical Godzilla-style mayhem and fans of the big G will want to check this out once. If you're not a fan, skip it. There are much better Godzilla films out there.
View MoreThe last poster commented on seeing this Godzilla film in the theater and loved it. As for me I got to see ALL the 70's and 60's Godzilla films in theaters. I grew up on air force bases and Saturday afternoons always brought Godzilla movies ( and other Japanesse and even American BIG BUG movies) to the base theater.25 cents for admission and a bag of my mom's home popped corn and a Shasta cola and I was in Helen! I even remember going to see "Godzilla vs. The Bionic Monster" but then they where sued and the title changed to "Godzilla vs. the Cosmic Monster". I am still a Godzilla geek. In fact, My wife just bought me a whole set of Godzilla toys even tho she has no Idea about the Godzilla universe.
