Maidgethma Wonderfully offbeat film!
Nonureva Really Surprised!
Ketrivie It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.
Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
Goldn Guy Godzilla vs Gigan: A ReviewEasily my least favorite entry in the 70's Showa series. Not only are the characters completely vapid and one-note (The main character draws manga, that's his only characteristic), but the movie takes quite a long time to get going, and when it does, it's extremely dull.I'll admit, the concept of a tag-team battle is very cool, and great when done right, but that is not the case here. The final battle between Godzilla, Anguirus, Ghidorah, and Gigan lasts for WAY too long. The re-usage of footage (The shot of Anguirus slamming into Ghidorah is reused two or three times, and the bit where Godzilla slams Ghidorah into the ground is reused another three times, etc, etc) becomes monotonous, and the fact that the footage is also slowed down in some places also makes the fight even more tedious to watch (Yes, I know footage is usually slowed down to make the men in the suits look like lumbering giants, but that just makes the non- slowed-down footage look even more jarring compared to the slowed- down footage). Not only is the footage reused multiple times, but the fight itself is extremely repetitive in some places (there's a part where Gigan flies upward only to be shot down by Godzilla, Gigan uses this tactic three or so times, all of which occurred in complete succession).Something that is done well, however, is the usage of Ifukube's soundtrack. Despite the fact that 90% of it is recycled, the tracks that were used fit the mood of some scenes quite well. For example, the scene where the main characters are researching the origins of the Chairman uses a track that's usually associated with a military march, and it works surprisingly well.So, basically, I don't like this movie. If you do, that's fine.
jacobjohntaylor1 This is a very good movie. The beast Godzilla movie is the remake from 1998. You don't have to agree. But if your mad about it I'm from Canada that's a free county so get over it you big pooh pooh heads. This is the 12th Godzilla movie. It is also the 6th M.o.t.r.a movie. It is not as good as the 12th M.o.t.h.r.a movie at would also be part 25 to the Japan Godzilla series it is called Godzilla M.o.t.h.r.a and King G.h.i.d.o.r.a.h giant monsters on an all out attack. It is all so not as good as Godzilla Tokyo S.O.S. That would part 27 to the Japan Godzilla series. It would also be the 13th M.o.t.h.r.a movie. That one is also better. Godzilla Final war would part 28 to the Japan Godzilla series. It would also be the 14th M.o.t.h.r.a movie. That one would also be better. All the M.o.t.h.r.a movie are good. And most of the Godzilla movie are good. See this movie it's great. It's very cool. Godzilla and M.o.t.h.r.a movie are OK for kids but there good for adults to. Hockey is for kids and adults that like it are big kids. I would know when Ottawa plays my dad turns into a little kid. This movie is great see it.
vtcavuoto "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.
patrickshay-3 The 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.
