Don't blame the movie for that. Blame the US distributors. The Japanese version doesn't have that problem.

Yeah, plus they renamed the film Gigantis. Weren't they trying to make it basically its own film and not a sequel so it could make more money? I thought I read that somewhere about the US version.

Godzilla vs. The Sea Monster. Too rushed with the inclusion of Godzilla, I honestly think Kong would have been a better fit.

Ironic, considering the avatar you're sporting.

I'll gladly eat crow if it doesn't turn out that way....but at this point it feels painfully obvious, as it has for months.

Also, FYI, the movie is titled King Kong vs. Godzilla, not the other way around.

I'm in the Revenge and Megalon category, but I would also put Ebirah and Gigan in there. Maybe even DAM.

Easily Gigantis The Fire Monster. I find it to be the worse Godzilla movie, because it tried to change the Japanese version into a completely different movie.

That was the original concept. Ultimately they settled on something more tame. Do keep in mind though that this was before Godzilla was a big thing, thus the rebranding

These are my least favorite Showa films too (minus Godzilla Raids Again) but I'd argue that only AMA, Megalon, Giganand Raids Again are truly bad. Ebirah and Destroy All Monsters have their faults to be sure, but I can watch them and still have a pretty good time.

I just realized that so many people seem to be ignoring that the friggin' title of the thread says besides Godzilla Raids Again and Megalon. Geez. :lol:

I was more commenting on the fact that our lower-ranked Showa films are exactly the same, but yeah, a couple people seem to be ignoring the title but people have done a pretty good job so far.

And it's besides All Monsters Attack/Godzilla's Revenge & Megalon. Unless you're making a joke that's flying over my head.

All I know is, I'd rather rewatch AMA a million times than rewatch GRA two more times :lol:
