Go Go Gojira!

Gojira is certainly very different from the Godzilla we on TV today. Although the effects may seem cheesy now, during the time when nuclear wars were at their peak, this was probably extremely frightening. It clearly was good enough to leave a lasting impression on us because we are continuously making or remaking Godzilla movies. Even if people haven't seen the movies they usually know who/what Godzilla is. Gojira was the foundation for some great movies that are out there today (also some lame ones). I appreciate the film for what it is. I won’t lie; it made me laugh, but that’s a great quality even if that’s not what it was originally intended for.

One of the many things that was different between the now versions and the original was that there was way more talking and scenes with the people and not Godzilla. The movies we have now are extremely action-filled where every other scene is fighting the monster, but a lot of Gojira was just talking and plotting among the characters, not to mention the girl who kept crying. I personally like the newer versions but this one was good too with its own unique and very original style.

Aaawww... idn't he cute?
