Godzilla vs Gigan (1972)


Yesterday, while the family was mostly passed out from eating Thanksgiving crap, myself and another watched Godzilla vs Gigan. I had brought over a small stack of what I thought were suitable films for such a special day, and somehow this was the gem was the one that was chosen.

It's always been one of my favorites, since it's so goofy, especially when you think about how the main antagonists or simply cockroaches wearing the skin of two recently deceased Japanese men. It's an interesting plot that they should have used later on. Actually, I don't think they ever used a continuing story line until they started to put out the newer films in the 90s. Hmmm.

Anyway, despite my initial love for this film, yesterday it just got totally boring real quick. Maybe it was the Thanksgiving food messing with my brain, or maybe several minutes of no dialog and just four monsters pouncing around suddenly got to me? I don't know, but I sure hope that my love for giant monsters is gone. That would stink.
