Godzilla, King of the Monsters

Under discussion:

Godzilla, King of the Monsters

So this is the American version of the original Godzilla movie.  Not necessarily a better version, but the one that more people have probably seen.  And the version that was spread across most of the world to start the Godzilla/Giant Monster craze.

Basically they just filmed a few new scenes with Raymond Burr and some small, cheap sets and edited them in.  The commentary indicates how deftly the footage was inserted, but that's how I felt.  Maybe because I had already just watched the original version, but I don't see how anyone could be fooled to think that the Raymond Burr stuff was somehow part of the original film.  Maybe I would have felt different if I had grown up with these films.

Rating: 4/10
