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.

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.

First ever Godzilla film I saw in the movies as a kid. Loved it! My dad was with me...he fell asleep!

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).

That's so much better than KOM's. At least its campy fun where the American versions are trying to be so serious. If KOM's had models on strings you'd say but that's how they make them. If nothing else I can at least see the monsters fight in this clip. I've been listening to classic Godzilla scores lately. So much better than the forgettable KOM's soundtrack.

This interests me, may I ask why you thought it was a forgettable score? For me personally, it is score of the year material. I am always interested in other points of view.

Lewis&Clark was being sarcastic because I said it's a forgettable score. It's mostly percussion with intrusive chants. I'm listening to a great Godzilla score right now- #ZillaScore98.

As solium already said, that was his view. I agree with you on the score of the year material wink

The local HMV got loads of copies in and they were US imports and not CDRs.
Track 3 on the first disc jumps badly 20 secs in and struggles to skip to tracks near the end of the disc. I changed the faulty disc for another and it has exactly the same faults, it must be a bad pressing. Anyone else have problems?

That’s no Godzilla score! Maybe a good Jurassic Park score. :-)

That's why I have to listen to it over and over again: I instantly forget I've just listened to it as soon as it's over...

The solium-revelation!

It's nice to still be able to walk into a record shop (HMV) and buy a CD of a latest film score.
I had some vouchers to use up and this score and AVENGERS ENDGAME just leapt into my hands.
I've just finished my first play through and although I will go back to disc one to filter out some of the best tracks, disc two is the ace in this pack.
It's just a blast from start to finish.
It helps that the old classic themes get a workout, but the other stuff is much stronger too.
Best thing about the film.

Roy, I just saw your post above and there's no problem on my copy.
I tried it in two players just to double check and it's fine on both.
Maybe your player needs an upgrade? wink

My copy is fine too.

Tomorrow is the last day KOTM will be on a screen here in Zurich. Very sad this came so fast. Good thing to have Bear McCreary's gorgeous score to keep the images of the movie alive until I can play it in glorious 4K @home big grin
