Godzilla vs. Gigan |
|
|
I saw this movie on Monday and it's usually regarded as one of the worst movies in Godzilla's career, due to all the stock footage in it. If I hadn't read about it in websites, I never would have noticed it. I haven't seen every single Showa movie, so how would I know what is stock footage and what isn't?
Anyway, this movie is about aliens. There's been several other G movies starring aliens wanting to destroy Earth and whatever, and like all of them, the aliens are pretty stupid.
In order to bring peace to the world, the aliens build a theme park about monsters. How exactly will that bring about world peace?
Two people think the aliens-disguised-as-people are not crusaders of peace because the girl found her brother's book (he's being held captive) which cryptically states that the aliens are up to no good. Wow, they're just going by what's mentioned in a book. That is smart.
The aliens are cockroaches from another planet. They say their species can survive through anything, yet they can't survive a simple explosion when the people blow up their Godzilla tower. Maybe something else happened, but I wasn't really paying attention towards the end of the movie.
Seeing Gigan, King Ghidorah, Godzilla and Anguirus together reminds me of a monster get-together. They should've danced and watched a monster movie.
This movie earns props for featuring Angie. He needs more loooove.
This movie loses props for featuring another stupid aliens taking over the world plot, and for making yet another stupid alien species. Cockroaches are boring, and so are the Planet of The Apes (Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla). Why not alien lizards or something?
P.S. Corn = gun 
P.P.S. The movie isn't that bad, but I wish the fight took place in the daytime. The alien subplot is better than the one in GvsMG, but the fight in GvsMG is better.
