So, though we haven't been actually discussing this MOVIE recently, it's oddly appropos that this was my most recent random selection.
I like this movie. I actually enjoyed it more than I have been recently, watching it kinda on its own and not in the context of the films it was released around...it's still got some manic, confusing editing, and several effects/monster flubs, but I really like when Godzilla first appears, and I REALLY like the fight between Rodan and Godzilla. This is an epic mosnter battle that never really feels like it received a final battle through any of the films. Unfortunate, because in this film, they are evenly matched in a lot of ways.
The Japanese version does a better job of integrating the human/monster action, but by and large, the humans are doing their thing, the monsters are doing theirs, and the two are only occasionally interacting with one another.
