Great movie.
The plot is pretty straightforward and the characters aren't very interesting but it doesn't matter at all because the real characters are Tsuburaya's special effects and Ifukube's fantastic score. It's probably one of their all-around best films of the 1950s.

It's definitely got its weaknesses, but I second Legion's assessment. Tsuburaya and Ifukube are at the very top of their respective games here, and the "brotherhood of man" theme is pursued more actively and effectively here than is normally the case. Awesome stuff.

I agree with everything August just said...expect that films like this have to be seen on theater screens to truly be appreciated. I've only seen two Showa-era Toho films on the big screen (Gojira and Monster Zero) and I appreciate all of them just fine.

Let me correct my statement to say, "To be fully appreciated." If you love these films now, wait until you see them on the Big Screen in a real movie theater.
I remember before the screening of SON OF GODZILLA at G-Fest 2000 in Burbank, people were slamming the film. After the screening, with a beautiful, pristine 35mm scope print (with Mr. Nakajima and Mr. Arikawa sharing memories on making this film), the opinions of those folks changed. Drastically.

Thank you, August.
The only film of this genre I've seen on the big screen is "Godzilla 2000," and reading this discussion really makes me pine for the opportunity to watch real classics like this one the way it was meant to be seen. Only problem is, I never have the time, the money or the means to travel to where I can actually see one.

I'm not the type to spend a lot of money or travel very far to catch screening of movies, even stuff like Toho sci-fi films. Especially since most of the good screenings would require me to either hop on a plane or take a long long car drive. On my own of course because while my friends will watch Godzilla movies with me on occasion they're not going to humor me that much. 
If anyone knows of any kaiju/Toho screenings in the NYC area I'm totally there. Otherwise...
