VHS Movie Reviews of King Kong Vs. Godzilla [VHS]
Movie Review: Monster Man
Summary: 5 Stars
I loved King Kong and Godzilla on VHS. As cheesy as it is its still great. I would love it if they remede this one. But not from the people who remade Godzilla with Mathew Broderick. That was awful and WAS NOT Godzilla. It looked like a giant eguana.Movie Review: kingkong-vs-godzilla
Summary: 5 Stars
first oh all, the 5-star review is for the film, not the dvd. i would give the dvd a 2. the print used is of poor quality, and the special features are non existant. the cover is [..] also. the film, however is far more enjoyable. a must for all godzilla fans. the first thing that strikes you is the overall apperance of godzilla....massive!!!! this is his kinjogi costume....pure power in every way. godzilla has never looked more reptillian. the opening scene's of godzilla destroying the milatary base are some of the films best moments.all is not perfect however due to the appearance of eric carter in some [...] american inserts. these scenes add nothing to the film. also not adding much to this film other than being godzilla's puching bag is king kong. any dout who wins this battle of giants is never in doubt as godzilla throws an overmatched kong around like a rag doll.look for a few funny moments.....the japanese gilligan, mr. taco, and local tv reporters telling general shinzo how to stop kong from destroying tokyo......godzilla rocks in this one folks. one more thing..... the japanese "version" is not much different than the one you see here... thier are not two endings to this film.....dont waist your time looking for this phantom version.Movie Review: King Kong vs. Godzilla....

The Heavyweight bout of the Century happend to be Toho's biggest grossing Godzilla movie, to date. To me, this movie has to be the most enjoyable G movie I've ever watched. Mainly because I'm rooting for both sides to win. This is one G movie I highly recommend to all. You'll be glad you got it...I assure you.Movie Review: Godzilla Vs King Kong - Good Times 1998-2001 release
Summary: 2 Stars
Godzilla Vs King Kong (1963)(Goodtimes 1998-2001) 2/5This disc contains a 4:3 picture (I don't know if this is the original ratio so I won't comment)and has scratches throughout. The colours are not very good and look washed out and the whole picture looks flat. It has a mono soundtrack which is passable. The extras are, Subtitles in English, Spanish and French(although only english as an audio option), producion note, which is actually one page of text which gives you a very very small insight into the film. It has chapters too and when you put the disc in it goes straight to the menu no copyright notices or anything. The version on the disc is the american edited version and only that.
Good Points: It's watchable if you don't have any other copy.
Bad Points:It doesn't have an option for the japanese version, the film hasn't been restored at all and not even a trailer as an extra??
The rating is for the DVD, I rated it 2 stars because it is watchable as a bog standard version of the movie but more dedicated fans should save their money for a future release.
Movie Review: Kingu Kongu Tai Gojira
Summary: 4 Stars
"King Kong vs. Godzilla" is the 3rd installment of the Godzilla series, and the first Godzilla film to be shown in color. The film was produced 7 years after "Gojira No Gyakushu" and it is immediately clear that Toho has become rusty on how to make excellent Godzilla films. The elements of a classic such as compelling storyline, good kaiju opponent, and several moments of high drama are all present. The problem with this film is execution. The effects are subpar for the series, which really pulls the viewer out of the movie. Worse still the progression of the storyline seems choppy at best. This jarring progression of events in "King Kong vs. Godzilla" really irritates me, because the concept of an intelligent animal like King Kong squaring off against the brute force of Godzilla is very appealing. I suspect some of these problems are due to editing of this film for American audiences, so I may revise this movie review when I see the Japanese version. The US version is 7 minutes shorter than the Japanese version, and the American version has 10-15 minutes of scenes in English only. No doubt these scenes provided at least some of the continuity lacking from the US version Taken as it is, "King Kong vs. Godzilla" is a fair but uneven Godzilla film that leaves me wanting for more. (also, dubbing is good, even excellent, but the American professor is an absolute [X]!)
