Movie Reviews of Godzilla Raids Again
Movie Review: I had no idea it was this good!
Summary: 5 Stars
Wow! I'm impressed.
All these years I knew this fim as "Gigantis:The Fire Monster"
All these years I was watching a complete farse. This is really a great Godzilla movie. It has such a dark overtone to it and the scenes at night when Godzilla is lurking in the bay have such an eerie silence to them that it actually comes across as nightmarish.
Godzilla looks great with his ugly teeth and the special effects are outstanding for that time period.
I am so glad that I got this. I had a VHS copy of "Gigantis:The Fire Monster" and I never really liked it. After viewing this film the way it was meant to be seen, this has rapidly become one of my favorite Godzilla films.
This is a movie for serious G-Fans. I would not recommend it to smaller kids because it moves a little slower than some of the later entries into the series such as "Final Wars" and "GMK".
I totally recommend it to all other fans of Godzilla and Japanese Monsters!
I have always liked Godzilla movies and after viewing this marvel, I only embrace the series all the more.
Rock on Godzilla, Rock on!
Movie Review: Subtitle question for you all
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm rating the vid cause it requires a rating to post a comment...but I actually have a question for you all. My two biggest complaints for the previously released Godzilla movie were one that fact that the Japanese version of the movie looked clean while the American version looked pretty bad. I guess this is the way it should look though....however my second complaint is that the subtitles in the movie where really bad to read...almost needed a telescope to read them and they were kind of drowned out in parts of the movie so you couldn't see them in the picture. Did they do anything to clean up the subtitles in these two current releases to make them easier to read? Normally I can read subtitles just fine in a movie with them in it...so it's not a genearal problem...just a specific problem with the subtitle in the previous Godzilla DVD.Movie Review: Another Classic Media Gem
Summary: 5 Stars
Stick to the Japanese version;The sequel to the 1954 phenomenon, made only 4 months later, "Godzilla Raids Again". This is the only other black-and-white G-film in existence, and a very rare one at that. Probably due to the VERY poorly received American version. Thankfully, Classic Media one more comes through, even including the Japanese version. This film was decent at best, no where near as powerful as the first. The four fathers of Godzilla weren't all here, Honda and Ifukbe, probably a major factor in the sharp contrast. The score by Masaru Sato wasn't as striking as Akira Ifukube's score, but it was still all right.
The quiality of this DVD from the case to the supplement special features are just epic for G-films. there is an awesome commentary by Steve Ryfle and many other guest appearances and this is a must for fans.
Movie Review: very nice.
Summary: 5 Stars
A crucial and entertaining entry in the Godzilla series. Technically and actually the SECOND Godzilla movie, this movie is well acted and the monster fight scenes are VERY well done. I had a blast watching it for the first time recently (I am a long time fan who just never saw this film), and I have to recommend it with the full force of my intensity.
I am sure that even non Godzilla fans would appreciate this mega gem. Watch/buy it today!
Plus, it's really the first time we see Godzilla fight the other monsters. This movie features Anguirus as the nemesis. Wonderfully done and very tasteful.
Special effects are top notch for the 50s, and some even look very good by today's standards. Word.
5 out of 5. My highest recommendation.
Movie Review: Godzilla(or in disguise) vs.Anguirus
Summary: 5 Stars
I had bought a low quality VHS of the English version of this a few years ago, and couln't believe they had dubbed Godzilla with the voice of Anguirus! I thought something was wrong with the tape. Anyway, this package with a substitled Japanese version, never seen in this county, as well as a better quality dubbed US version, gives an interesting comparison. I can only guess that either Toho did not authorize the US version, so they called Godzilla "Gigantis", and dubbed Anguirus's call to him as well, to avoid being sued, or for reasons unknown, Toho did not want the name Godzilla used. Another strange thing about this film is the fight scenes between the monsters:there is a lot of jerking, suggesting these parts used stop motion, or they just speeded up the action.
