Nice review and great tribute to Keizo. I actually liked the human characters a lot in this one but I agree they could've had a bit more to do. This one was actually very hard to find on vhs when I was a child and finally being able to watch it when I was a little older felt like quite the event. It's been on my top ten Goji films ever since
The first Godzilla film with Godzilla’s arch nemesis Ghidorah the three headed monster. Ghidorah was really terrifying in this movie he was unstoppable he destroyed planets and probably has an extremely high kill count with the amount of planets he destroyed. He was so unstoppable that the military couldn’t even kill him to the point where Godzilla, mothra, and rodan were the ones that had to stop him and for the first time Ghidorah had finally met his match. This is why Ghidorah the three headed monster should have been the only Showa movie with Ghidorah until destroy all monsters because since then Ghidorah became nothing but a joke by getting mind controlled by aliens and being a punching bag and for other monsters I’m glad that future Godzilla movies stopped this trend and made Ghidorah the terrifying three headed monster he was back in 1964
I’m with you on that one. Terror Of Mechagodzilla is incredible. Titanosaurus is fantastic. Godzilla is pushed to his absolute limits and Mechagodzilla is at his most terrifying. Not to mention, the human characters are wonderful. Katsura is one of the most tragic characters to ever appear in a Godzilla movie.
Although the concept for GTTHM is epic, it is among my LEAST favorite Godzilla films. I can mention the “Burt and Ernie” puppet fight between Godzilla and Rodan, the disjointed script, etc. However, IMO Godzilla was presented not so much like a hero but like a Big Chump. Godzilla has a great entrance but after that it goes down-hill: 1) his atomic breath had no apparent effect on Rodan, 2) he let himself fall (pun intended) victim to Rodan’s dirty pool with that high-tension tower, 3) he let King Ghidorah body-zap him in places any self-respecting monster would consider private, and 4) Godzilla never once uses his atomic breath on King Ghidorah. WTF was Toho thinking?!?
That's valid. My retrospective on Astro Monster should be out in early November but the basic jist is that I prefer Astro Monster because of the Star Trek vibes. While it does predate Star Trek, it just feels (aesthetically) like a crossover between two franchises I love!
What a wonderful tribute you included.
Great retrospective, as always. Cheers!!!
Bargon is amazing. I love him in Godzilla giant monsters all out attack. He is so underrated and needs to be in the monster verse
Baragon*
I just realized that the showa era godzilla movies are probably the first cinematic universe and DO NOT get enough apprechiation for that
I think the universal monsters could be considered the very first imo
@@FirewoodMediaTV true, funny how people forget that the cinematic universe idea isn´t that new
King Ghidorah is probably my favorite kaiju besides Godzilla. The heisei film with those two was the first Godzilla film I ever watched.

Just Watched Ghidorah The Three-Headed Monster Yesterday....

From today's standpoint it looks like nothing, but back than this was the ultimate kaiju crossover

Invasion of Astro monster has the best music
dope video! subfreakinscribed. i do enjoy how king Ghidorah being yellow juxtaposes Godzilla's darker skin as well
1964 was Great Year for GODZILLA!!! I’m sad there isn’t a English Dubbed LaserDisc for this movie.
Is it weird that i like Terror of Mechagodzilla more than Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla?

This guy Shat all over my favorite movie
I like this one a lot towards the end, but there’s a huge slough in the middle that’s so boring

Destroy all monsters what about that
in my opinion this movie is more entertaining, astro monster was boring and doesn't have much monster screen time
