Review of Godzilla, King of the Monsters! (1956) by Bohrs H — 03 Jul 2007
The American edit of the original Godzilla film is not exactly an awful film, but it really screws around with the original film. In this version our hero is Steve Martin, an American reporter played by Raymond Burr who happens to be in Tokyo to witness the carnage wrought by Godzilla.
Unfortunately, the filmmakers attempted to integrate the character into the story by filming Raymond Burr talking to the back of people's heads and standing in the background. Occasionally it actually works, but more often that not it fails.
It's an interesting film to watch, but you'd be better off seeing the original Japanese version.
