Frankenstein Conquers The World is a top-notch Toho fantasy. Sure, it probably does piss off alot of Frankenstein fans (no more so than GINO does, us), but I think it was a good story, told really well. One of the first of Toho's non-Godzilla fantasy films that I had seen. The very beginning prologue, which ends with the Hiroshima blast is a highlight. I also like when Frankenstein pops up from the lake, and terrorizes the pleasure boat. Reminds me a lot of the similar sequence in Godzilla King of the Monsters! Yeah, there are alot of money shots in this movie.
