My Review-

All hail the king of all monsters movies! well sort of, do not get me wrong this was a pretty cool movie. Only when Godzilla was on screening, most of the scenes with the actual people were kind of boring and went on for a long time, I was always waiting for Godzilla to come back on to the screen. Well some of the actors were interesting with their story-lines and how it all came together at the end, at times some parts of the movie were kind of boring when it Godzilla was not on screen. At least was better then the one that came out in 1998 I will give it that much. Even though at times the movie was kind of cheesy with the acting I think it was made to be that way, and for being made in the time period it was made in, for this time Godzilla looked pretty real for back then. Even though tons of sequels have come out and two remakes were made, well one is one its way to be remade, this one should have been left alone as one movie. For being possibly one of the first disaster movies I think, it was very awesome. If you have never seen this version of Godzilla, and you want to then I suggest that you watch it and enjoy it for what it is, its kinda bad, and kinda dark in some scenes but it is still a good monster movie.
