I always thought that this film got an unfairly bad rap. It may have a bit too much stock footage, there are a few embarassing SPFX shots, and the final battle goes on a little too long for my taste, but it's very colorful, creative, and has an absolutely terrific musical score. Yes, I know it's stock music, but it still sounds awesome. I'm also a reader of comic books, so I was thrilled to see a Godzilla movie in which the main character was a manga artist.

My biggest beef with this one is how boring the characters are. Hint, hint: Sticking a corn cob around a character's neck, no matter how funny in theory, doesn't make his dialogue interesting for him. :lol:

Oh well, at least hearing the monster's words was a new idea, even if it didn't make sense why Ang and Goji would understand each other's tongues. -_0

I've always enjoyed "Godzilla vs. Gigan", it's always been a secret favourite of mine (well, not very secret). Highly anticipate the Region 2 DVD this May!

Ah Godzilla vs Gigan.....chock full of stock footage, corncomb eating hippies, incompitent Aliens, and talkin Kaiju.

Yet somehow through all the flaws the film manages to be wildly entertaining with great replay value. From a stricly entertainmet point of view, this is my favorite 70's G film.

It's nice to know that other fans out there share my eternal love and much devoted appreciation for this film. Fans can bash it as much as they want for the use of stock music and stock footage, the low budget and all of its ridiculousness in general, but all the stock material used is some of the BEST from the Godzilla/Ifukube library and when it comes to the budget and cutting costs, etc., Fukuda and Toho did the BEST DAMN job they could do and when it comes to the campiness of the characters, the ridiculous storyline, etc. all those factors only add to the entertainment value of the film...so get off its back all you haters!

"Godzilla Vs. Gigan" is the GREATEST G movie EVER!!!
