Just got done watching this film again. It was nice to see after a long absence. First off, the human part of the film, while not being the best story, is far from the worst. It was nice to see all the returning faces and everyone turned in a pretty good performance in my opinion. The Godzilla scenes were done pretty well as I remember them. The two Ebirah fights were a very enjoyable watch with the exception of the rock volleyball sequence, which is used in too many Showa films. After Godzilla throttled Ebirah's ass though I wished he would have finished him off. One of my gripes was the segment of Godzilla stomping through the power plant. While the miniature plant was done well, I didnt like that he had to step on that flat structure and then hit it with his foot a couple times to make it break. Everything else he touched broke on impact and it seemed out of place for that one structure to require so much to destroy it, considering he stood on top of it with all his weight and he still had to keep hitting it. The condor scene was humorous but didn't make alot of sense. I guess they just wanted to throw a little more monster on monster action in there. No arguments here. About the scene where he "protects" Daiyo...It wasnt really as bad as I had remembered it, although I wish if anything he would have just ignored her and continued on his way. All in all though, it doesnt take a whole lot away from the film. In conclusion, I would say I enjoyed the movie, not the best G film but far from the worst. Sorry for the long post. Next up is Son Of Godzilla. If desired by members of this forum, I will post fresh thoughts on that film as well. |
