Review of Godzilla, King of the Monsters! (1956) by Adam S — 08 Jul 2011
Nothing against Godzilla, he's pretty cool, but this Americanized, chopped and dubbed version of "Gojira", the great Japanese horror classic, is pretty laugh out loud bad. Raymond Burr, tacked on as an American reporter (with a trusty Japanese sidekick for translation purposes), looks about as happy to be doing this as Godzilla is wading through power chords spitting nuclear air, and to dub Takashi Shimura is an injustice no Japanese film buff should have to endure.
