Gonna have to stand up for Godzilla King of the Monsters! as well. Sure it's not as good as the Japanese version, but it's still pretty darn good. The whole flashback narrative is effective and Burr has some awesome narration during Godzilla's raid on Tokyo. Looking at it as a seperate American film I think its the best US giant monster film made in the 50s, on par with Them and The Blob.
Gotta give the US makers props for not really changing the story. They just insert Burr into it. All he really does is comment on things, "talk" to a few of the original charcters, convince Emiko (along with Ogata) to urge Serizawa to use the Oxygen Destroyer, and... uh,... Oh, Godzilla drops a building on him!

people seem to forget that at the time, a film w/an all Japanese cast wouldn't have been as well received considering how close it was to Pearl Harbor/end of WW2. Heck my late step dad was a Pearl Harbor survivor and he couldn't stand watching my Goji flicks-the scenes reminded him of who killed his friends too much. So adding an American reporter at the time is not the same thing as doing it nowadays. And smart business. People also conveniently forget given the post WW2 climate GOKOTM had quite alot of actual non-dubbed Japanese dialogue. Perhaps the most non dubbed Japanese of any American Goji import I'm betting. Burrs part and his integration were done very respectfully given the time-heck look at how .tomo was played as compared to say Charlie Chan films. So to me again its something to praise more than ridicule.
