Review

A star rating of 2 out of 5.

Alan Jones

After a decade-long hibernation from the screen, the King of the Monsters returned as the villain again to cause an international Cold War incident after trashing a Soviet submarine. Russia and America want the outsized nuisance destroyed and almost trigger a nuclear holocaust because Godzilla is out to punish mankind for its careless atomic experiments. Oh, and Tokyo is nearly razed to the ground for the umpteenth time. Raymond Burr pops up as an intrepid reporter, just as he did in the original 1954 movie (and flashback clips from that are included), in footage added for western markets. Elsewhere, it's also business as usual - thin plot, inane dialogue, daft dubbing and cheap, but fun, special effects.
