    Pros: Story, Atmosphere, Soundtrack

    Cons: Noticable models and puppetry

    The film that really started the kaiju onslaught, this one carries a seriousness not often found in its successors. The somber tone and carefully built atmosphere give this film a creepy feel without excessive gore or shock tactics. While the special... effects are dated now, considering the other films of the time it was actually very well done. There's a genuine plot to this one, not just the formulaic 'oh no, it's a monster, let's shoot it' that's typical of the genre it spawned. If you're a Godzilla fan, this film simply -must- be in your collection. I highly recommend it to the film-o-phile set as well. Read more Less
