Film Review: Godzilla vs Gigan

See the source image

Release date: March 12th 1972 (Japanese release). 1977 (American release).

Story: While working on a new Theme Park, a concept artist discovers that the people behind the construction are in fact aliens who want to colonize the planet. With the help from King Ghidorah and a new monster called Gigan. But luckily Godzilla is aware of this and (along with Angurius) sets out to stop the aliens.

My thoughts: This is the twelfth movie in the Godzilla franchise. This movie has some funny parts in it. Like the part were Godzilla and Angurius talk to each other (In the Japanese release they had speech bubbles). Another thing that made fans wonder is how come King Ghidorah has returned? Wasn't he killed in Destroy all monsters? Well my theory is that there is a whole species of Ghidorahs and that the one that appears in the movie is just another member of the same species. Overall it is a great movie, Gigan is a cool looking monster, and the only downside is that most of the monster fight scenes are stock footage from previous Godzilla movies. But the movie is still awesome.

My score: Four stars.
