Best movie of this year hands down!

Memorable, crazy movie

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

This film is hardly worth the trouble. Through some geographical gyrations, the two famous monsters end up in Japan. There are several scenes of people running down streets as cardboard building are crushed. The army, which may as well stay home, does its usual ineffective job of pea shooting at the enormous lizard. What will they do? For some reason, King Kong has been brought to Japan (you'd think they'd had enough trouble) and soon the moment we've been waiting. The final half hour is the two of them facing off. Kong does back flips and acts like a conventional monkey. Godzilla burns Kong's chest hairs with his radioactive breath. It is so obvious that these are men in suits. Kong's chest looks like it's made of plastic. Godzilla rants and jumps flies at Kong. It's one of the first of the "versus" films and it was fun at a drive in movie, but it is really not very good.

A submarine crashes into an iceberg, freeing Godzilla from its frozen grip; meanwhile, over-sized ape King Kong is captured by a pharmaceutical company and shipped to Japan. When the radioactive lizard heads for Tokyo, smashing all in its path, some bright spark has the idea of using Kong to bring an end to the scaly beast's rampage. Cue even more destruction as the pair duke it out on Mount Fuji.King Kong vs. Godzilla is far from what I would call a great film (quelle surprise), with a preposterous storyline, dreadful performances, and woeful special effects (crappy men-in-suit monsters and lots of miniature model-work, none of which is very convincing). It does, however, mark the only time to date that cinema's mightiest ape and its greatest mutated lizard have gone head to head, which makes it a must for monster movies fans, no matter how manky the creature suits are.In addition its legendary monster smack-down (which includes the unforgettable sight of Godzilla getting a tree shoved down his throat), this silly Japanese/US co-production also offers plenty of (unintentional?) laughs, including Japanese extras blacked up to play natives (who perform a prolonged dance routine to pad out the running time), Kong getting sloshed on berry juice, a giant octopus latching itself onto Kong's head, and the great ape taking a hot air balloon flight.

King Kong vs Godzilla Japanese Version 7/10 One of my favorite Godzilla movies has got to be its battle with the legendary King Kong. The start of the film is captivating solely because of the island music chants and drums that are unforgettable and catchy. Having Godzilla's storyline pick up from the iceberg after the movie Raids was I thought very necessary and the scenes when the main characters visit the savage island where King Kong lives might be the best in the movie. Unlike many Godzilla films that try to be comical which fail miserable I felt this one was actually funny at times providing good breaks from the monster action. The battle scenes are top notch and I thought the animation of King Kong, who is definitely unique and Godzilla were supremely created. The Toho King Kong vs. Godzilla Japanese version is a can't miss! King Kong vs. Godzilla English Dub 5/10As much as I enjoyed the English dub King Kong vs Godzilla as a kid it's hard to look past the horribly stuck in American plot points from the UN Center. I just couldn't quite seem to be able to look past the general plot when it was so choppy. However, KKVG being the first Godzilla movie in color was very cool to see. The King Kong flipping arm motions was hilarious yet believable and this is the first movie where Godzilla appears to be a little cartoonish with his movements. At this point though the dark grim feeling that the original Gojira and Raids had is completely gone, this in my eyes is disappointing. The fight scenes are amazing to watch and I was pleased the way they had them start from the northern iceberg of the Artic and South Pacific Island to the heart of Tokyo, Japan. Check out the Japanese version if you don't mind subtitles because it is much better than the dub story-wise. Both of them together I rate a 6/10

Sequel to "Godzilla Raids Again" has American pilots discovering a floating chunk of iceberg that sees Godzilla emerge from his imprisonment, and immediately attacks Japan again. Meanwhile, a giant ape named King Kong(not connected to the two famous films from 1933) is captured by a pharmaceutical company, with plans to broadcast on television, but that is thwarted when Kong escapes to Japan as well, and the two biggest monsters in the world will do battle. Enjoyable romp is great fun to watch, and colorfully presented, even if some of the dubbed dialogue is dreadful(the Japanese version is still unavailable in North America.) The new scenes in the English-language version are silly but amusing.
