During an assignment, foreign correspondent Steve Martin spends a layover in Tokyo and is caught amid the rampage of an unstoppable prehistoric monster the Japanese call 'Godzilla'. The only hope for both Japan and the world lies on a secret weapon, which may prove more destructive than the monster itself.

Godzilla, King of the Monsters!
It's just the original but heavily edited, and they even introduced a new american main character
Not a fan, actually it's skippable
so let's just pretend that it doesn't exist

Godzilla, King of the Monsters!
meh

bit late to watching this movie, but this is fucking bullshit i dont want to associate this movie with showa era Godzilla

i mean, good for the dudes over in america to coin the name "King of the Monsters", but

i mean where are the monsters????? and they

this is just a watered down rehash of Godzilla 1954 (ONE OF MY FAVOURITE MOVIES OF ALL TIME) and everything it stands for with 20 minutes of FUCKING RAYMOND BURR

Godzilla, King of the Monsters!
Imagine the original Godzilla movie, but you gut it of all the themes and insert shots of Raymond Burr looking slightly confused and very sweaty.
