The BEST Godzilla Movie

Reviewed in the United States on July 12, 2022

Verified Purchase

I saw this movie a LONG TIME ago. I got it when it came out on VHS. Don't have a VHS player anymore so I got the DVD. The reason I consider this the BET of the Godzilla movies is that it was BEFORE they got silly. This was played in a serious fashion. A DEFINITE KEEPER for any Godzilla collection.

ALL-TIME GREAT JAPAN MONSTER MOVIE CLASSIC

Reviewed in the United States on January 15, 2010

Verified Purchase

GODZILLA IS THE ALL-TIME JAPAN MONSTER MOVIE CLASSIC.
I HAVE TO CORRECT AMAZON'S DESCRIPTION OF THIS PRODUCT 1st. THE DESCRIPTION STATES " THE ORIGINAL JAPANESE VERSION OF GODZILLA WITHOUT THE AMERICANIZED ADDITION OF RAYMOND BURR" ....WELL THIS IS WRONG IT IS THE AMERICANIZED VERSION WITH RAYMOND BURR AND THE DVD CASING SHOWS BURR'S PICTURE....ALL WELL THIS IS THE VERSION I WANTED ANYWAY.
THE ORIGINAL JAPANESE CLASSIC WAS ACTUALLY FIRST SHOWN IN 1954 AND WAS IN JAPANESE AND BECAME SUCH A HUGE HIT, THEY DECIDED TO REVISE THE FILM FOR THE AMERICANIZED AUDIENCE. THUS THEY INTRODUCED A RELATIVELY UNKNOWN AMERICAN ACTOR AT THE TIME BY THE NAME OF RAYMOND BURR WHO WAS TO BE THE FILMS NARRATOR AS THE AMERICAN REPORTER STEVE MARTIN. ( OF COURSE BURR IS NOW WELL KNOWN FOR HIS ROLES IN DETECTIVE TV SHOWS OF "PERRY MASON" and "IRONSIDES" )
THE PREMISE OF AN AMERICAN REPORTER "STEVE MARTIN" IS KIND OF FAR FETCHED AT THE TIME, TO THINK THAT THE JAPANESE WOULD ACTUALLY LET A AMERICAN REPORTER FOLLOW THEIR TOP JAPANESE SCIENTISTS AND THEIR MILITARY BRASS AROUND IN A JAPANESE CRISIS WOULD HAVE BEEN UNTHINKABLE AT THE TIME. STILL THE PREMISE WORKED, AS BURR IN HIS ROLE, NARRATED TO THE AMERICAN AUDIENCE AS GODZILLA TORE APART JAPAN.
SPECIAL EFFECTS WERE THE 1st IN THE MAKING, I MEAN NOBODY HAD MADE A FILM OF SUCH A GIGANTIC CREATURE DESTROYING CITIES TO CORRECT SCALE. IT'S LIKE WATCHING HISTORY IN THE MAKING . OF COURSE MUCH OF THE DESTRUCTION WAS DONE AT NIGHT IN A BLACK AND WHITE FILM, WHICH WAS SMART BECAUSE YOU COULD HIDE A LOT OF STUFF, BUT THE SCALE IN WHICH THEY WERE WORKING HAD NEVER BEEN ATTEMPTED BEFORE. SURE YOU CAN SOMETIMES TELL IT IS A PERSON IN A RUBBER SUIT WALKING ON MINATURES , AND SOME OF THE BUILDINGS LOOK LIKE CARDBOARD, BUT THIS FILM WAS THE 1st OF ITS KIND AND IT PAVED THE WAY FOR MORE JAPANESE BIG MONSTER FILMS.
OF COURSE IF THE FILM FOLLOWED THE ENDING WHICH SHOWS GODZILLA BEING DISSOLVED IN THE SEA AND ONLY HIS BONES BEING INTACT , THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN NO MORE GODZILLA MOVIES. DEMAND FOR MORE GODZILLA BROUGHT HIM BACK FROM HIS UNTIMELY DEATH AND ALSO CREATED RODAN, MOTHRA...... ETC. ETC.
VERY ENJOYABLE MOVIE, WORTH EVERY CENT THAT I PAID WHICH WAS LESS THAN $6.00. I DON'T RENT THESE CLASSICS I BUY THEM.

Only a couple of issues.

Reviewed in the United States on May 18, 2016

OK, I got what I expected and the quality was as I expected. Also the shipping was quick. So, no problems with Amazon or its Marketplace seller. But I did take away one star for 2 "weirdisms." The DVD case said clearly that both movies ("Godzilla" and "Gojira") were in a 4:3 aspect ratio. And, that's what they appeared to be - except for the end credits, which were in a widescreen format. Go figure. But both of the actual DVDs had the word "widescreen" printed on them. The 2nd weird thing is that the DVD case shows "Gojira" coming out in 1964 and "Godzilla" in 1966 - 10 years after they "really" came out. So, one strike for the DVD manufacturer.

Campy today. But back when it came out in the USA (I was 6 at the time), this film had power. And the Japanese anti-nuclear message came through loud and clear. Made sense. The atomic bomb drops on Hiroshima & Nagasaki were "recent history" for Japan (only 9 years earlier at the time "Gojira" came out in Japan). And, there must have still been a keen sense of shock and worry in Japan's culture.

I went to see the latest concoction of Godzilla at the movie theater and I enjoyed it. However, immediately upon arriving at home, I got on Amazon and purchased the original with Raymond Burr. There are just some movies that shouldn't be remade, and this is one of them. The story, the acting, Japanese and American are just superlative to any other version (especially, the horrendous Matthew Brodderick version - whoever thought Godzilla was an iguana is an idiot!). But, it's the monster that makes the movie. I must have watched this film at least 150 times since I was a kid, and, this rubber suited monster is just believable and especially believable to me. The roar of this Godzilla still generates monster thrills and chills. Leave my Godzilla alone, and never, never make another version. By the way: Long Live Rodan!

Great set of Godzilla flicks!!

Reviewed in the United States on June 30, 2015

Verified Purchase

Has both movies- the original Japanese movie w/English subtitles and the Americanized version of the same movie in English but does not compare to the Japanese version- the story line was changed slightly and was hard to follow at times but was nice to watch both! Was great to finally see the FIRST and original Godzilla-- there's only ONE Godzilla and the Japanese (Toho studio) do it as only they can. Nobody else has their touch and creativity and humor that really make the Godzilla movies great and unique. Well worth the money and a must for almost any and all collections. This is where it all started and I hear that TOHO was not really planning on making more Godzilla movies after this one because it was just too outrageous!!
