On some occsaions, I prefer Godzilla King of the Monsters! over Ishiro Honda's original film. I find that the Raymond Burr version is sometimes easier to watch. The Same goes for Rodan, Mothra and any other movie I grew up watching. I'm more used to the dubbing in films like Godzilla vs. The Thing and War of the Gargantuas, than hearing the actors speak in their actual voices. Honestly, I could probably recite every dubbed version of a Toho fantasy film verbatim, and backwords.

I should point out in case Mike is reading,it is one of my favorite dubs,and it was the most fun I've ever had in a theater. Everyone at the showing I went to laughed at the corny lines,myself included,and I fully understand how a cornily dubbed Godzilla film is an easier sell to the powers that be than a dub that plays it straight. However,I still always prefer original language to dubs,regardless of dub quality.
