SnoopyStyle American reporter Steve Martin (Raymond Burr) is a survivor in the aftermath of the devastation in Tokyo. He recounts the events of the past few days. He was flying to Japan to meet scientist Dr. Serizawa. He finds that Serizawa is engaged with some new developments and he joins to cover the situation. Ships have disappeared. Attacks continue and Godzilla lands on Japanese soil. Serizawa suspects that it has been raised by the detonation of the H-bombs.This is the version of Godzilla reworked for the American audience. Raymond Burr's scenes are fine. They are essentially him and his Japanese co-stars reacting to the Godzilla movie. It's the same as the original where the Japanese actors are standing around reacting to the destruction unleashed by Godzilla. Other than being white, Burr's scenes don't stand out much from the rest of the movie. This is Godzilla redux. I do wish for better action with Steve's injury. A building falls on him but it's not really action oriented. This is fine for what it is. It's a cheap way to appeal to the western audience without remaking the entire movie. For purists, this is sacrilegious.

missraziel Was curious to see the movie but it was so badly spliced together it made no sense and bored me to sleep!!Seems to be an a-typical movie about Americans bombing creatures, the usual jive.Avoid this one if you've never seen it before, wish I had....

O2D The first Godzilla movie sets the pace for a string of long boring movies with 10 minutes of action and 80 minutes of terrible actors trying to fill time. With toys tanks,fire breath that looks like ice and an invisible plot, this movie will have you hoping he kills everyone. The trailer is ridiculous.They say this is better than anything Jules Verne ever wrote, that is total non-sense. Jules Verne's worst story is a million times better than this.There is literally no story here.The best part of the movie is that all the signs in the Tokyo airport were in English.Too funny. Skip the whole franchise,you'll thank me later.

Rainey Dawn This is a remake of sorts of the original 1954 'Godzilla' movie which was all in the Japanese language. 'Godzilla, King of the Monsters' has footage from the original film and most of it was dubbed over in English. This American version stars Raymond Burr as a reporter covering the event - so we see a lot of Raymond in this movie - that is good for American audiences.Overall this is a very fun large creature film - it would be good to watch the original 1954 'Godzilla' then follow it up with 'King of the Monsters'.The idea of (atomic and nuclear) weapon testing spawned quite a few large creature movies - and Godzilla was one of them. It made an interesting time era in motion pictures.7/10
