Godzilla has always been one of the Showa Era classics that I thought needed a restoration the most, along with The Mysterians, King Kong vs. Godzilla and Ghidorah the Three-Headed Monster.
I ordered my copy of the Criterion DVD on Tuesday and it's shipping now. After the Simitar VHS, the original Classic Media DVD, the Toho R2 DVD in the Final Box, the BFI DVD, and the deluxe Classic Media re-release, this will be my sixth copy of this particular title on home video, and I couldn't be more excited about it. This is the royal treatment the original film has deserved for so many years and now it's finally here.
I also can't wait to see how the newly-restored Godzilla: King of the Monsters looks.

Picked it up earlier today and just got done watching Gojira...WOW am I impressed! The picture actually looked 3-D at times(this was on an 8ft screen)and the details, it's not so much that they were'nt there before, it's how they jump out at you now...love it, love it, love it. And as for the packaging, absolutely no problems here. Insert came out nice and easy, pop-up worked great, and everything slid back into place, no problem. And speaking of packaging, what I think I'm going to do, seeing as I, like most of us, also have the Classic Media release, is to put both copies of Gojira in the Classic Media case, and both copies of Godzilla in the Criterion case. Now, if only they'd do GMK....

I've got to say that Criterion did an incredible job on this movie, truly incredible. I just finished it and most of the time, it looked great. My only real complaint is that having white subtitles over a black and white movie is not a good idea. They blend in way too much at times.
I was not planning on watching KOTM, but my g/f said she would like to see it to compare it, so we will be watching that version right after dinner is done. I do not know why though, it's not like she isn't going to fall asleep within the first half hour though like she does with all of the others.
