 "Gigan!"Gigan is the third best monster ever created! Godzilla and Anguirus were the best, and this movie had all three of them! Too bad they had to put Ghidrah in there to stink it up! Though Ghidrah wasn't the only thing wrong with this, it had no plot! 5 STARS FOR GIGAN!  "Good plot and new interest monsters of that time"In Godzilla vs Gigan; what I thought silly was the talking monster. The monsters looked too plastic-like in this one but not bad for a moview of that time. The fight seens were good and that was pretty much all I enjoyed about it that is besided the tape playing that awaken the monsters' sense. And not bad for dead space aliens turning into cockroaches. I bought this one just to see Gigan fight although I think any modern version of Gigan with new technology would look more realistic.  "all out brawl"Godzilla takes on an impressive looking monster called gigan in this action packed monster movie. teaming with godzilla is angilas while ghidrah returns to team with gigan. some of the action has stock footage from the 60s films but still a fun godzilla movie. "Gigan is an awsome monster!"Okay, "Godzilla vs. Gigan" was a very cool movie. Now that all by itself is not saying alot. Here are some of the reasons why. Gigan, (part bird, part cyborg) poses as an intresting character. No other creature in the Godzilla series has been a combination of both cyborg AND mutated animal. Ghidorah rears his ugly 3 heads for the last time in the classic Godzilla series. The coolest part of the film is very realistic, takes place at night, and has a 4 way monster battle right in front of a power plant (that of course is destroyed in the battle). What makes this film a little more special than the others is that this was Hauro Nakijama's last time in a G-Suit. The suit used in the film is so old and tatterd that pieces of the suit can be seen flying off during battle sequences of the movie. This same suit was used in the following films. "Destroy All Monsters" (1968) "Godzilla'a Revenge" (1969) "Godzilla vs. The Smog Monster" (1971) and finally... "Godzilla vs. Gigan" (1972) The next few films still had lots of action but not alot of the humanity and character that Nakijama's Godzilla posessed in his last film. All in all this was probobly one of the best classic Godzilla films in the original series. Shure, it's corney as heak, but it has alot of heart too. Now I think an even cooler movie would be a battle between King Kong, Godzilla, and Angilus vs. King Ghidorah, Gigan, and Megalon! "SPIFFY MONSTER EXTRAVAGANZA"This is perhaps one of the best of Toho's original series. Once again aliens are trying to conquer earth using Gigan and King Ghidorah as weapons. This draws Godzilla and Anguirus from Monster Island to protect earth. When the four creatures meet, a great monster battle takes place. Gigan is an impressive creation and the return of Ghidorah makes the movie cooler. This movie has a fairly good plot with few boring parts and little action. The monster scenes are definitely worth watching. It's pretty funny how every time Gigan takes off into the air to attack, he gets hit with the atomic ray. Seeing the monsters talk is weird, but cool. It show s something of Godzilla and Anguirus's attitude towards eachother. Pretty cool. Gigan returns in the next movie: GODZILLA VS MEGALON. |
