Such a frustrating disappointment

Highly Overrated But Still Good

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

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.

Man, i don't know if it's because i grew up on godzilla; or something like that because i enjoy just about every godzilla movie made. Honestly, I've seen most of them. And every one is watchable and enjoyable, look at the time this movie was made. Obviously its gonna be corny.I'm watching it right now, and i am enjoying it :P I really don't get Why all the godzilla movies are giving such a low rating, besides a select few. I also just watched Godzilla Mothra and king ghidrah, made in 2001 and wow it was pretty sick. The ending fight with king ghidorah is ridiculous. Anyway i rate this movie an 8 out of 10, maybe a 7.5 i see it as an enjoyable old sci fi flick, thats worth watching if you have a good imagination~

Godzilla vs. Gigan (1972) ** (out of 4) Cockroaches turned aliens take over an amusement park that was originally meant to showcase some of Japan's giant monsters. The aliens send Gigan and King Ghidrah to destroy Godzilla but he has some help with Anguirus. After a slugish first hour where nothing happens except for talk, talk and more talk, the final thirty-minutes of this film really picks up and makes it worth sitting through, although I think I'd still recommend just jumping to the final scenes. There's some extremely bad stuff going on here but thankfully a lot of it is bad enough to gain a few laughs. One example is the entire plot dealing with the aliens being former cockroaches. I mean, seriously. Another laughing point is when Godzilla and Anguirus are able to talk to one another. I mean, double seriously. With that said, the final thirty-minutes is where this movie makes its money and I must say it turned into a lot of fun once all four monsters started fighting. The scenes of Godzilla sitting on Gigan and pounding his head into the ground are priceless as is the final tag team where the Big G and Anguirus must battle King Ghidrah. The special effects of the monster outfits are fairly good, although the plastic tanks still look like junk.

"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.
