After Godzilla'85, which showcased only one monster, Godzilla vs. Gigan was the second Godzilla film that I had seen. I was about 4 or 5 years old. I can look at it now, and say, "yeah, it's got alot of stock footage," but back then, I didn't even know what stock footage was! All I cared about was, "Look at that three headed monster! What is the porcupine-looking thing? Oh my god, what is that Pillsbury Doughboy-lookin' thing!?!" I had a blast watching this movie back then, and I still do today. I guess it depends on what kind of movie buff you are. If you have the ability to accept, and enjoy pretty much anything on the screen, then Godzilla vs. Gigan is the film for you. If not, well then, that's fine too. I like to thing of the film as a perfect starting point for any 4 or 5 year old kid that is seeing a Godzilla movie for the first time. Kind of like a high-light reel, or something. For me, it is the most sentimental of favorites, and I because of that, I can't really say anything bad about it.
