Godzilla the Japanese movie about a nuclear monster destroying their country was a very influential movie. It reflected on Japan's feelings towards the Hiroshima and Nagasaki nuclear bombimbgs that occured during the war. The movie was first realeased in 1954 and had many remakes and sequels.
This movie was huge on special effects, with Godzilla blowing flames through his mouth and stepping on buildings as he parades through town. Not to mention the Japanese army trying to gun him down. Although for its time the special effects were amazing, they did not make up for the horrible acting.
Everything in this movie was overplayed. The tears from main character Momoko Kochi (Emiko Yamane) made me want to keel over and die. Half the time you couldn't even tell if she was laughing or crying. She ruined this movie for me.
Of course speaking english the subtitles did not help this movies case, although there is nothing they could do about it.
Overall this movie receieves a 6 out of 10 for me. I do recomend people seeing it though due to its historical significance.
