Saying that the film is preposterous is a foregone conclusion. If Godzilla movies aren't your thing there isn't a single one that will change your mind. It's not nearly as good as the preceding two films but it provides rubber monster entertainment.

Hvad faen er det der gør, at når man ser filmen, synes man, at den er så dårligt lavet og så latterlig amatøragtigt, men alligevel har man senere lyst til at gense den??

Still not the best Godzilla movie, but it's SO much better in the original Japanese. It's longer, but it's more interesting and I'm pretty sure it has more kaiju action.

Godzilla rises again -- for the first time in color. The effects run hot and cold -- the octopus scenes are pretty creepy -- but this time the dubbing is *purposely* funny ("King Kong won't make a monkey out of us!") and it's all good-natured fun.

Would have been higher, but to appease the Americans and utilise their inferior ape man; they were forced to dumb down the reality of such an epic battle. Does anyone really believe that King Kong would stand a chance against Gojira, the god of all creatures?

I read that they filmed two different endings, where Kong wins in America and Godzilla wins in Japan. Seriously? Then I read that it was a myth. I don't get it either way. Godzilla was a bad guy in Japan, supposedly. Who cares if he dies? Other than his mom, of course...

Isn't as fun as I remembered it to be. The American added scenes really drags this movie down and explain far too much. The battles between Godzilla and Kong are also not as good as I remembered. It just drags on with Kong just jerking around.

Lightning makes King Kong stronger? Huh? Since when? Mindless monster movie with King Kong that doesn't look like King Kong and Godzilla that doesn't look like Godzilla. This is pretty much all camp value, but much moreso than usual with Godzilla.

This is pretty dumb, which is precisely why I like it. Not the best in the Godzilla chain, but still a billion times more entertaining than what dreams may come

The suits and effects are poor, but it's entertaining. This is the only King Kong film I have ever seen. I think Peter Jackson is already working on the remake.

That is NOT King Kong, I don't care what these biased Godzilla creators try to tell you. That is a man in an ape suit. This fight was fixed!
