Customer Reviews of Godzilla Vs Gigan (Repackaged) / Movie

G & Nubula Spacehunter M (
Okay, I admit that Godzilla vs Gigan is one of the corney Godzilla movies of the 70s but it isn't nearly as bad as Godzilla vs Hedorah. Okay, let's see: We have a Team Battle Between four of some of the most famous kaiju, an alien invasion plot, explosions, and a bunch of fighting that doesn't seem to get old. Mix it up and you get a great Sci-Fi flick! Okay, it's not the best Sci-Fi movie but it is one of the best Showa Godzilla movies. I keep watching it and it never seems to get old. Many other movies like Star Wars original trilogy, Lord of the Rings, A.V.P, and a lot of other stuff, I just don't find appealing when I watch it for the second time. But Godzilla vs Gigan never gets old! It has King Ghidorah, my third favorite kaiju, Angilas, my favorite Godzilla ally, Gigan, now a very popular favorite of mine, and of course Godzilla the King of Monsters. This is just a really good movie for soemone who's in the mood to have fun! Buy it, you can keep watching it a bunch of times and it just never expires!

Hippies, stock footage and a talking Godzilla!
Any long running series has its ups and downs, and in a series as long-running as Godzilla those downs can be pretty low. This one isn't bottom of the barrel, but you can definitely see it from there. <

>"Godzilla vs. Gigan" ("Chikyû kogeki meirei: Gojira tai Gaigan" or "Earth Assault Order: Godzilla vs. Gigan ") is the 12th film in the Showa series, at a time when Godzilla had turned from a rampaging beast of fear and destruction into a kid-friendly beastie cheered by the citizens of Japan. Due to the hard times of the 70's Japanese film, the budget is tiny, and there is a heavy reliance on stock footage taken from previous Godzilla films. <

>The plot is somewhat oddball, with developers attempting to build Godzilla-land, a theme park built around Godzilla. Of course, the developers are secretly cockroach-aliens, and when a hippie and a failed cartoonist get wind of their plan, quickly summon the terrors of King Ghidra and Gigan to Earth to help in their nefarious plan. Godzilla and his stocky pal Angirasu are on hand to stop them. <

>Of course, the worst and most bizarre aspect of "Godzilla vs. Gigan" is the chatty Godzilla, as he and Angirasu exchange a few well-timed quips. This isn't so bad in the original Japanese, where the audio is growling sounds and the dialog appears as word-balloons, but in the English dub there is an actual Godzilla voice. A horrible decision on someones part. <

>However, unforgivable cheesyness aside, Gigan is a decent foe for the Big G, with his buzz-saw belly and sharp claws. He and King Ghidra make a nice tag-team pair, easily trouncing Godzilla and Angirasu to within an inch of their lives. Godzilla isn't quite so mighty here, and he seems to have forgotten how to breath his atomic fire, until the last possible moment. <
> <
>While more kid-friendly, the series gets bloodier with this picture, as Godzilla starts spouting red, and gives some back to Gigan and King Ghidra. King Ghidra takes some nasty neck damage as well. <

>People attracted to the sillier aspects of Godzilla will love "Godzilla vs. Gigan." Those who like at least a little menace with their monster should probably give this one a miss.
