Genre; Monster
Year; 1964
Release; US Sony BFG Toho Masters Collection
This fim marks a turning point in the career of the big guy, Godzilla was, in his previous 4 outings, the bad guy. He starts as such here too, Toho bring in Rodan too, who had already appeared independantly in her own movie. The film starts with Godzilla and Rodan fighting, in a prolonged battle. Ghidorah makes it's first appearence, and, after much persuasion from Mothra, Godzilla and Rodan join forces with the larvae state Moth to fight Ghidorah. Godzilla would remain a good guy untill the 1985 series reboot. Having seen both versions, the original Japanese is the better one (show me a time when it isn't). A fun romp for men in rubber suits, and well worth seeing if a bit of Kaiju is your bag. Akiko, playing the princess, is a real cutie too..............
