Review of Godzilla, King of the Monsters! (1956) by Charlie S — 19 Jan 2010
If you are a fan of Godzilla you will know that this movie stands apart any other Godzilla film. It's different in that there is so much more drama put into Godzilla's actions and as a result can be taken more seriously.
In almost every other movie he can completely demolish a building and we know nothing about the people inside it. Yet, this film encircles that very subject. I think this film was very much the "Cloverfeild" of its time.
It's dark, scary, and even a little emotional. Godzilla has had quite a transformation in the last 50 years whether he is a child's hero, saving the world, or destroying it; he is a timeless classic.
