This is for everyone who thought the human story was ridiculous and got annoyed when they kept cutting away from the monsters. Though this post is not addressed at me, I enjoy it greatly! What a fun movie! I agree. It's directed more at the people who maintain that it's worse than the Toho films for those reasons.

What a fun movie! Hear, hear. I saw this flick on double bill with War of the Gargantuas back in July 77, a week or two before I saw Star Wars. I particularly enjoyed the relative dark tone of the film, as it was more reminiscent of Godzilla (the Burr version) which I'd seen about two or three years prior. Also, Godzilla's first appearance was one of the most awesome scenes ever. In fact, we enjoyed the program so much that we watched both films twice in one sitting.

I never saw Godzilla as a Kid (except maybe the one from 54). I discovered the Godzilla movies at the tender age of 34 - and got hooked instantly. I see it as a sort of "antithesis" to the American blockbuster movies I grew up with (Star Wars, ET, Raiders etc.) and still consume at large. Stories, characters, special effects, sience... totally different approach and (for the most part) a refreshing change from the Hollywood stereotypes. Funny thing now with KOTM, the things that get critized mostly are the things which are very much in line with many of the elements of the Japanese Godzilla movies (Story, sience, characters). And combined with today's Hollywood special effects wizardry and references to the history of the Japanese films, I see KOTM as a nice hybrid between the Japanese and American Godzilla(s).
