Varan
This film feels like a patchwork of the previous Toho kaiju films, varan looks like a spiky Godzilla and is discovered by scientists investigating an ecological anomaly in the area, much like beast man snow man a local secluded village worship the creature, he gets his name because he is the last remaining of a previously extinct species called the Varan (much like Angilas in Godzilla raids) and he’s not even the first flying kaiju thanks to Rodan. The movie is okay, it’s not a standout and just kind of uninteresting but it has a few fun set pieces here and there and I laughed really hard both when he started flying and when he was hiding underwater like a looney tunes bit.
It’s not the worst but it’s also just not very interesting, the first half is pretty decent and then it just slows to a drag.
Not to mention the original cut of this film is a fucking bitch to find online.
