This Godzilla movie was made more as a comedy than a dramatic one. It has some great jokes and fun fight scenes! Remember: Godzilla's fighting a lobster; not a shrimp as some movie critics say. Some Facts About this Movie: It was originally supposed to star the Toho King Kong! (King Kong vs. Godzilla) This one stars Akira Takarada who played Ogata in Godzilla, King of the Monsters, and Sakai in Godzilla vs. Mothra. Enjoy!

This is an OK movie. It has a couple bad plot holes and Godzilla doesn't look very good. Also Godzilaa has very Kong-like behavior.(Big Breath) That's because Toho(People who make the Godzilla movies) was planning on making a Kong Flick but didn't have the money to make a good suit so erased King Kong and put in Godzilla! WHEW! Anyway at the very end of this incredibly long boring movie Godzilla wakes up and fights 3 things. A pathetic lobster, a giant bird, and a couple of airplanes. OKay, the scene when Godzilla stomps on the Red Bamboo base is kinda cool looking and with Mothra's breif appearence it's worth watching if your a Godzilla fan.

This one is a pretty good Godzilla feature. You get a giant crab and a monster vulture along with Mothra and of course the big G. A group of Nazis wannabe's are building nukes and using native (Mothra worshipers) slaves to do the work and its up to Mothra and Godzilla to save the world.....again. One of the better early Godzilla movies.

This is a pretty good Godzilla flic with a good plot and cool monster. You even get Mothra thrown into the mix along with the Cosmo's twins. The problem i have with this installment is the very cheezy surfer music which im sure was very "hip" at the time of filming but very lame for a monster movie (im an old geezer and never liked the surfer stuff in any time period). All in all a pretty enjoyable movie. I would like to see this one on DVD someday.

Don't expect "Macbeth" from this film. What "Godzilla vs. The Sea Monster" lacks though in drama, it makes up for sheer whimsey. This is a fun flick. Exotic locales; a "B" movie subplot about a sinister organization; a menagerie of monsters not seen this side of "Destroy All Monsters" serve to make this film a busy, lively affair. There is nothing weighty to ponder here, but the story is engaging nonetheless. Jun Fukuda keeps events moving at a healthy pace.

This movie had the unfortunate task of following the excellent "Godzilla vs. Monster Zero", something that would have been daunting to any film. And, perhaps predictably, this 1967 flick doen't live up to the task, though it wasn't entirely the movie makers' fault. The scaling back of budgets at least partially forced producer Tomiyuki Tanaka to take a nearly-finished script from the next scheduled King Kong movie and insert it into the Godzilla series, with mixed results. On the plus side, Akira Takarada and Kumi Mizuno do well in their roles, particularly Takarada (cast against type) as a surly criminal. Godzilla looks remarkably familiar...indeed, the G-suit is the same one left over from the previous movie. Ebirah (the Sea Monster appropriately named after a Japanese piece of shrimp) is impressive looking, but proves to be no match in battling the big G. Mothra makes a quick return as the protective goddess-monster, with nice results. However, the music, minus Akira Ifukube, suffers greatly. This in definitely not one of the higher points of the Showa Godzilla series, but the island locale at least tries to break kaiju tradition, in leading away from the usual scenes of city-wide destruction. You can also see where the B-52s undoubtedly got their inspiration for "Rock Lobster"! This is for the kiddies at best.

First off,I kind of like this one.It takes a break from the usual city smashing film.Also,it has a good setting,and good storyline.However, Ebirah is just a perverbial whipping boy,as Godzilla just has his way with him.Also,what the heck is with the giant Condor.Still,a decent movie.

This movie has more plot than most of Godzillas previous outtings. It isn't saying much, I know, but it's Godzilla we want to see in this movie. Here he battles Ebirah, a giant lobster, and a condor who looks like a Rodan wannabe. Mothra also makes a guest appearance. Godzilla is more "rough" in this movie. That is, while he's still the protagonist, the other characters are still fairly afraid of him. By the end of the film, however, they know he did well.

G-zilla lookz good in this one, only thing is the plot was kinda screwy, the battle seens were cool and mothra makes a gallant rescue. you can see that the movie had a lower budget than the others though. there were little buildings and the ones that were there, were small..

The movie is o.k for the time that it was made. The godzilla suit looks good. One of the cool things about the suit is that Godzillas eyes move. The monster Ebirah [the sea monster] looks good. Great movie!
