Movie Reviews of Godzilla Vs. Gigan
Movie Review: Godzilla vs. Gigan, the stock footage 5 Stars
Godzilla vs. Gigan is cooooooool. Gigan, a cyborg maniac with a saw on chest, is one of the best foes ever, and making the show better is King Ghidorah's appearance. Gigan would've killed Godzilla if he wasn't the star. I liked the original idea which the scrapped better, but this is still good.To sum it all up:
Godzilla:GOOD!
Angilas:GOOD!
Gigan:GOOD!
King Ghidorah:GOOD!
Gaira stock footage scene:GOOD!
The rest of the stock footage:GOOD!
The Hippie Who Threatens you with corn:HILARIOUS!
Evil Nebula M Spacehunter Cockroaches:GOOD!
Godzilla and Angilas talking: okay.
Movie Review: Best Release So Far
Summary: 5 Stars
Presented in widescreen this release blows away all the past VHS ones from Starmaker, Anchor Bay, etc. Sony seems to have doen some work on the title screen and other credits, and the Japanese word balloons are lacking from the kaiju "speaking" scenes. Nonetheless, this is an excellent release of a great film.Movie Review: Godzilla is the Supreme action hero.....
Summary: 5 Stars
another fantastic dip into the world of Godzilla.
enough good things cannot be said about this wonderful film series!
Movie Review: Bored? In need of a cheesy B-flick? Godzilla vs Gigan is for you!
Summary: 4 Stars
I am sick, so I decided to get a Big G movie. My friend and I love old cheesy movies, especially Godzillas. I got G vs Gigan and G: Final Wars (Which I am also righting a review about). G vs Gigan didn't disappoint me. I laughed and laughed over the cheesy fight scenes and the pathetic antics of the moronic Japenese actors. The aliens in this Godzilla are actually (of course) cockroaches from outer space! (Seriously. I kid you not.) I used the English dub for a short while but then simply opted for the Japanese voiceovers and English subtitles. The English dub was a collection of fifty year old voice actors. (Sad). But, now to what really matters: the monsters. There are four main ones in this movie, and a collection of small appearances. Godzilla (of course) is the hero, and then there's his sidekick, Anguiras. The little armodillo gets smacked around and beaten up, and is really no help. The villians are Gigan, a cyborg razor blade, and King Ghidorah. Gigan looks pretty cool, but King Ghidorah is done very poorly (I don't mind). At the beggining of the movie, Godzilla stomps out. I though he looked really pathetic until he roared. That trademark roar changed everything, and suddenly he was awesomeness itself. Anguirus is the best done monster. He looks pretty nice. There are several battle sequences, all cheesy the way I like it. In one scene where Gigan and King Ghidorah rampage through Tokyo (for the millioth time), Gigan actually stomps past a building with two dolls inside. Little Kelly Dolls with rosy cheeks! Little shrimps! Sad, but hilarious. So, all in all, you get what you expect. GET IT if you like Godzilla or cheesy B-flicks. DON'T GET IT if you dislike Godzilla, cheesy B-flicks, or girly Japanese 70s actors (and a talking Godzilla.) Good stuff, I say.Movie Review: WHAT A DIFFERENCE A DVD CAN MAKE
Summary: 4 Stars
Godzilla Vs Gigan is one of the better post-DESTROY ALL MONSTERS Showa entries. Fans are usually divided on whether Destroy All Monsters is the last great Godzilla movie or not. Personally I love it. Face it, after Destroy All Monsters we got a slew of lackluster, non exciting, cheap movies that just happened to include Godzilla. To me they just weren't Godzilla movies. They include Godzilla's Revenge, Godzilla vs The Smog Monster (Hedora), and Godzilla vs Megalon. The last two entries Godzilla vs MechaGodzilla and Terror of MechaGodzilla were gallant but unsuccessful attempts to bring Godzilla back to his up to Destroy All Monsters glory. Pre-Destroy All Monsters for those who don't like that movie. As for Godzilla Vs Gigan, it falls into a category all it's own. It doesn't fit into the Revenge, Smog Monster, or Megalon idea. Nor can it be linked to the Vs Mecha or Terror Of, ones either. I think the film makers of this one were quite smart to include Ghidorah and Anguirus in this one as a backup, just in case Godzilla alone fighting a new monster was unappealing. For years all I had was a grainy picture, tinny sounding fullscreen recorded from TV VHS, which used to contribute to my low opinion of this movie. After seeing this DVD with cleaned up picture, good sound, and letterbox presentation, it changed my opinion about the movie. But it wouldn't change my mind for Revenge, Smog, or Megalon. What a difference a dvd can make. When it's the right movie.
