Matcollis This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

LastingAware The greatest movie ever!

Yash Wade Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

Skyler Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

O2D Even though this is an obvious Godzilla rip-off,it's better and somehow worse at the same time. With Godzilla a lot of the dumbness is due to it being Japanese and dubbed,Gorgo uses all the typical American b-movie clichés but you see Gorgo a lot,Godzilla usually only shows up at the end.The best part is they advertise "Like nothing you've ever seen before!".I've seen lots of stuff like it. So some generic sailors break down in an Irish harbor.Of course there's a harbor master and wouldn't you know it,he has a little boy that isn't his son(this is getting weird).You know the harbor master is shady and that means he will clash with the sailors. Gorgo shows up and all of a sudden there are hundreds of people with an endless supply of torches to throw.Clearly torches are cheap and easy to make as they throw hundreds at a 60 foot tall monster who is standing in the ocean. The sailors easily capture Gorgo and what do you think they do?? You know what they do.....TO THE BIG CITY!!!!!! This time it's London and almost no one has a British accent. So they put him in a pit with an electric wire around it and charge people to see him,totally safe. It wouldn't be a movie if a scientist didn't instantly figure out that this isn't an adult,with absolutely no evidence or reason. You know where this is going. Not that bad.It's better than every Godzilla movie I've seen so far and that's quite a few.

JoeB131 While Japan has led in this genre, and America has done a few good things in it, this is the British take. Which means everyone is totally calm no matter what is happening and no one gets terribly excited. I give it credit in that its monster has a motivation...it wants its baby back. As opposed to your average Japanese Kaiju who just attacks because, you know, Japan. The special effects aren't horrible, and Gorgo is a little more plausible than most of his Japanese kindred- he doesn't have lasers or fire breathe or something equally implausible. It's just big and it stomps things.

AaronCapenBanner Eugene Lourie directed this surprisingly good British version of "Godzilla". Two sailors(played by William Sylvester & Bill Travers) who own a Salvage ship stationed off the coast of Ireland encounter a giant lizard that enters a fishing village, causing havoc. The two men capture the creature, and bring it to London to display in a circus. Unfortunately, the lizard's mother(who is much bigger!) comes to its rescue, destroying much of the city as it tries to reach its baby. Good direction and script, with a thoughtful story that examines the consequences of human greed and callousness, with harrowing scenes of destruction, and a fine monster suit for Gorgo make this a winner.

gigan-92 Who can forget this gem from the good old 60s? The British answer to Godzilla, this film is by no means original but tremendously fun. The score by Angelo Lavagnino is pretty awesome and the lighting is really well done. And if you're a monster movie nut like me you'll notice Gorgo's design seems to really have inspired the look of the Toho monster Titanosaurus from 1975's "Terror of MechaGodzilla". Gorgo has the better roar as you know, but enough about that.The plot doesn't waste time and zooms by at a pace anyone can appreciate. In some monster movies, especially early Gamera, there's always a sadistic need to have a kid who sympathizes with the beast, my only real complaint but at least it's not overly cheesy with it…wait..cheesy? What am I saying; the name of the movie is Gorgo! Definitely check this one out for a trip down memory lane.
