What 's the BEST Godzilla Flick?   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #996 of 1347 |
The original can't be beat for my tastes. I've only seen the English
version, but even with all its creaky scenes it is the only one which
is remotely scary. The B&W and the more animalistic Godzilla design
make the movie better. Less is more.

After that, I have to say I really like the recent American re-do of
the classic character. I think the movie is a hoot, and despite the
poo-pooing by Big G purists, it's a rollicking monster flick with a
right smart amount of wanton destruction. The little Gozillas are
okay, but the Big Girl/Boy is outstanding.

What do you all think?
