Which was the first post-Showa face to forgo animatronics in order to replicate the Noh tradition. Kenji Suzuki took a lot of heat for it, but I love it.<br /><br />Also, surprised to hear that you hate King Kong vs Godzilla. Have you only seen the American cut? The difference is staggering, the Japanese film is actually a really clever satire.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12622207233568877617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28855039.post-59414789660727527412014-02-20T05:58:03.837-08:002014-02-20T05:58:03.837-08:00Great review!

This may be a mistake, as it seems the next one is <i>Godzilla Vs. King Kong</i>, which I hate so much...<br /><br />I haven't seen any 21st century Godzilla movies yet...I think <i>Final Wars</i> was the last one I saw. Wait, maybe that one was 21st century...? I don't know; like I said, I'm gonna try and watch 'em all from the start, and right now I'm still in 1955.Calebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01391759187396994380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28855039.post-91081141749162333552014-02-19T09:27:56.914-08:002014-02-19T09:27:56.914-08:00You don't know Hedorah? Check out Smog Monster...You don't know Hedorah? Check out Smog Monster some time, it's my favourite of the 70s films.<br /><br />Also, Stokoe's use of Mechagodzilla is very close to Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla, which - as it sounds like you haven't seen it - you should absolutely track down. I'd call it the best of the 21st century Godzilla flicks so far and, much like the Half-Century War, creates pretty good drama out of the human cast grappling with Godzilla.Michael Hoskinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11302540308587868138noreply@blogger.com
