GODZILLA, KING OF THE MONSTERS! This was the first Godzilla film I owned on VHS and I was really surprised to have seen it locally and so soon after discovering the big guy. While King of the Monsters makes Gojira a little more typical B-movie the film's creativity and uniqueness shine through.
Raymond Burr is yet another reason the film works so well. Even though he's just added on Steve Martin is easily one of my favorite Godzilla characters even when factored in with other characters. Burr is also one of my favorite things in 1985.
Godzilla, King of the Monsters in whatever version is still a great film. The lady friend prefers this version for its far more overt 1950s Scifi ATOMIC MONSTER vibe. Great movie. Watching Beast right now and I'll be posting about that later on.

Gotta say I'm one of the few around here that prefer KOTM to Gojira as well. Raymond Burr was the man.

It has a better pace I think. You say cliff notes, I'd say it makes things more subtle. Everything in the Japanese version is still there, it's just not dwelled upon as much.
