Despite the fact that things get off to

Despite the fact that things get off to a bad start with the title ("giant" is a bit redundant when describing a behemoth), The Giant Behemoth is not as bad as it sounds. That's not saying that it's good, because it's not, but it is better, in relative terms, than many of the other entries in the giant-radioactive-monster-wreaks-havoc-on-humanity genre. The production values are pretty decent, the acting isn't bad, the locale is a refreshing change, and the stop-motion effects are passable. It does, however, falter in a big way with some of the other effects, namely the miniatures (cars, the boat, etc) used during the final confrontation and the weird radioactive light that the monster uses to toast its victims throughout the film.

It wasn't as impressive as The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms but it had a stop-motion creature made by a master. It wasn't impactful as Godzilla but it was an atomic age giant reptilian monster from the sea. "Behold now the Behemoth! He moveth his tail like a cedar. Out of his mouth go burning lamps. And sparks of fire leap out of the Behemoth." Happy 65th Anniversary to THE GIANT BEHEMOTH (1959). Despite limited budget and a not so original idea, Behemoth brought to life with the help of Willis O'Brien, is worth watching.

This movie had a different title in its UK release. One presumes that American audiences wouldn't be satisfied with a regular ol' behemoth; it had to be a giant one. Had I seen this in the 1960's on a Saturday TV Creature Feature, I still would'a said it sucked.
