The first of the Godzilla(Gojira) movies that gave birth to the Kaiju phenomena, unlike the later movies its all quite serious. American nuclear testing awakens Gojira from his million of years slumber, he promptly goes on a rampage, its up to the miltary,a scientist with a world changing and disturbing discovery to try to stop the wee beastie . we also have a sub story of a zoologist who believes the that Godzilla should be studied. Has a strong anti nuclear message which is to be understandable for the period.
Not hard to see how people can find it a little boring compared to the later movies, while I don't find it boring I do prefer the OTT silliness of the later movies with two beasties going toe to toe and stamping around destroying model buildings and vehicles. 7/10
Next up
