I'd never seen the original Godzilla and was always curious about it. I thought it was very good for the time it was made and will keep an Eye out for other Godzilla films on region 1 dvd. But not the 1998 remake the cgi lacked the charm and fun of an actor in a monster suit.
Brilliant!! The first, and some...me included...would say...THE BEST!!! The original Japanese movie is the version you should buy, forget the dire USA version with scens featuring a rotund Raymond Burr tacked on. Part allegory...see Godzilla as the Imperialist Forces of the USA laying waste to Japan, partly and uncanny foresight into the ways Science is perverted these days. It is a true 'Classic'....
'Oh look at that dinosaur, a man in costume, ha, ha!'. Well, that's how I used to think whenever I saw a clip of 'Godzilla'. I have now watched it and it's great. Well acted, more serious than you might think and with a fantastic musical score. I now consider this movie to be a classic, sorry I doubted you Godzilla.
