What is there to say about an early

What is there to say about an early monster movie where two of the worlds biggest monsters come together and beat each other up in clunky looking rubber suits? Alright, well it may not be up to the high tech standards of film we're so use to today, King Kong vs. Godzilla is credited as being one of the first "versus" films to start the now very popular trend of bringing franchises together. What an interesting idea. You take a character from one film and another character from another film and bring them together, now to do what is beyond them. But now studios are taking interest in something that should have been done years ago and with the advent of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it is now catching on like wild fire. But to the credit, this is the one that started it all. With such a colossal idea, you would imagine that it'd look cleaner. Well to it's credit, it was made in 1962 and Toho was asked by RKO to fork over a giant amount of money for Kong's likeness that substantially hurt the budget. So the real question is, how does it hold up? It's cheesy when it needs to be and serious when it needs to be too. Some people think that the added Americanized footage with Michael Keith and the stock music from films like _The Wolf Man_ and _Creature From the Black Lagoon_ butcher the film. I like to think that it helps set it in the mood among the classic Universal Monster Movies. The fight is a little hokey now but back then, was probably mind boggling. And stop motion techniques spread throughout the film are amazing. On top of that, this has one of the least annoying Americanized dubbings to a Godzilla movie I have ever seen. So is it great? No. Is is bad? No. What is it then? Just good old cheesy fun that needs to be seen to be believed.

The original clash of the Titans you think

The original clash of the Titans you think the first crossover with these two would take a long time, but no it happened in 1962 and was both monsters third movie but their first in color the characters in this movie are actually pretty entertaining. Definitely better than the characters in raids again. Mr Tako definitely being the stand out in the movie Godzilla’s design looks pretty good although if you do look at him face on, he doesn’t look that great but him profile he does look pretty incredible. I like them more hunchback to look and this is the first Godzilla movie where we got to see the atomic breath in color and its blue, which would become iconic King, Kong, design however, is not that great. The body looks like an app that looks fine. It’s really the face that’s a problem. It just looks bad. It looks like they got run over 50 cars and then a semi truck but yet again, the design does work in a way the scene that the movie itself is very goofy and silly so in a weird way it does work, but has a design on its own. Yeah it’s not that great. You do you have to wait a while to see Godzilla fight King Kong but once you do, it is worth the wait I mean sure they have a brief encounter but it’s very very brief and it’s really just Godzilla shooting his atomic breath at Kong and then Kong running away but the final battle is so entertaining there’s so many great moments like when Godzilla does the drop kick and when he’s just constantly beating on Kong and obviously the tree in the mouth Just a fun fight Overall, this movie is really entertaining and a lot of fun and definitely one of the better Godzilla movies out there

Slightly above average Kaiju movie

From the beginning scenes you can tell this is a little different. It's almost like a proto-Verhoeven film. It has a satirical edge to it that you dont see in other Godzilla movies. And just overall it's a little zanier and kind of wild compared to previous Godzilla films.It's still Honda directing and still a TOHO film with the same technical crew as most other Kaiju. It was just this one script and a few actors that made this one a tad more enjoyable than many others.I will be blunt though. It's not as amazing as a lot have made it seem. I guess if you saw this once when you were a kid then had to wrok to find it again in the pre-internet era of video rental stores. That would inflate the spectacle of the film a lot.It is better than most Kaiju films. It does have some memorable characters and some moments of the Kaiju fights that are remarkable. But really it's only about 10% better than the average Kaiju film. There are others like Mothra that are much better in a number of ways.It is kind of a turning point for the franchise in a few ways. This starting the change of Godzilla from an evil monster to a kind of antihero. Antimonster maybe?The pitched up his roar a bit. Made the suit less scary looking and had him dance whenever he scores a good move against King Kong.King Kong is a little weird. He looks nothing like the classic Kong. Very crude and rough. Not to my liking at all. But the suit actor did a great job of mimicing ape like movements.The fight choreo is recognizably influenced by pro wrestling. I thought that was a great idea, but there are a couple spots I really didn't like how they went about it, but it worked.Overall it's enjoyable not to be taken seriously fare.
