 I'd say Gabara deserved it after the way he roughed up Minya.  I like all Godzilla movies, but Godzilla's Revenge(1969) ranks at the bottom as far as how I would rank them regarding how much I like them. I always try to derive as many positives from each "Godzilla" movie as I can-repeated viewing are often necessary in order for me to do this. :) I'm curious gojiramatthew: would you rate this movie better overall than 1973's Godzilla Vs Megalon? |

No, IMO Godzilla vs Megalon is slightly better and is very fun, GR's ranks lower. |

Okay. thumbs up Even though I own the Simitar DVD of Godzilla's Revenge(1969) I will probably buy the Classic Media re-release in early September. Hopefully the CM re-release will have a lot more extras than the Simitar disc(which is a good disc). :) |

I'm not sure there was any "revenge" being sought by Godzilla in this film, batrus. The original(Toho) title of this movie is All Monsters Attack(1969), a title I think is more in line with the many monsters we see Godzilla fight again: Kumonga, Spiega, the Kamikiras(the giant mantises) and Ebirah(the giant crustacean). If memory serves me correct Godzilla's Revenge is the American(or international ?) title for this film. :) |

It seems to me that they titled this movie Godzillas Revenge in the states just so it would be more recognizable, and in the process the title deviates somewhat from the theme of the actual film. They probably should have titled this movie "Destroy All bullies" or "Minya Strikes back" or something. :lol: |

Or "Godzilla vs. Nightmare Monster", "Godzilla vs. the Ogre" or "Minya vs. Gabara: Dream Monster Battle". Or something. I have yet to watch the actual movie, though. |

I'm inclined to agree with you here. A movie called Godzilla's Revenge would certainly, I would think, have had more appeal to it's American distributor(AIP? I'm not sure) than All Monsters Attack, simply because the word "Godzilla" is recognizable to many people. |

I don't like yours. Something about them, I don't know. They're either too modern or too western. :( Still proud of mine rockin' |

For me like most Godzilla fans this film isn't my all time favorite. It does have its points. I really liked Gabara and wished he would have been brought back in Later movies. I found this on the Kaija Fan site. After reading this I started to think about this movie more some things really made more sense. http://www.historyvortex.org/GodzillaAmerica10.html what do you guys think about this perception of the film |

I read the linked article and, beside believing it to be a very good read, I also agree with the vast majority of it as well. It's easy to slam Godzilla's Revenge(1969) because of the abundance of stock footage and the plot, which is a far cry from many of the more action-oriented and epic storylines in previous Showa Godzilla films. This movie has grown on me over the years, no doubt about it. It will never be a favorite but it is a movie I have come to appreciate, and respect, much more now than in years past. :) |

I agree packmule When I first saw this movie it was in the theaters. It was a double with War of the Gargantua's. I have to say I liked and still do like Gargantua's better . So I have always have not liked GR that much . But as years go on I've come to like it a bit more . Now after reading that artical I have a whole new way of looking at this movie. Granted it wont ever be in my top 10 Godzilla films but I will look at it differently |
