Godzilla vs. the Sea Monster (1966)

This is one of the silliest but also one of the more amusing Godzilla movies.

Godzilla Vs the Sea Monster brings much awesome carnage to the screen in this series of eccentric, amusing and memorable monster films. As usual Godzilla is against a different type of monster and it is an enjoyable, entertaining film that boasts some good effects, a fairly interesting story and decent performances from its cast. The film, like every other in the series is imperfect and at times kit is silly, but nonetheless it is fun and entertaining due to its plot, which I thought was yet another effectively entertaining idea, despite the traditional formula that Godzilla films always go for. Fans will love this as much as previous entries and it is a fun little monster film that is worth watching if you're in the mood. Godzilla always is entertaining to watch as he battles his foes, and he proves that he is the king of monsters. I thought that the fight sequences between the two monsters were well done and it definitely was a well structured movie that managed to overcome it flaws due to good effects, a good plot and of course the carnage created by the two monsters. However there was plenty of room for improvement as well, and at times the film could have benefitted from a script rewrite just to make it better. The film doesn't cover new ground and it's similar to others, however fans will surely be pleased with this one nonetheless. The series at times point would continue on in a relaxed groove of having Godzilla face against other horrifying enemies. This would delight monster fans everywhere and it would be something would be quite familiar with viewers that have kept up with the series by this point. Nothing new here, but nonetheless an entertaining film that is worth checking out, just don't expect anything too original.

A man goes out looking for his missing brother and is joined by two of his friends, Along they way they meet up with a fugitive who joins them after they try to stea la boat he was hiding out in. During their search, they end up being attack by a giant sea creature named Ebirah who causes them to get shipwrecked on an isalnd run by a terrorist organization called Red Bamboo. Red Bamboo have enslaved the island's natives and use Ebirah as an enforcer of sorts as they go about doing nefarious things. Along the way, the 4 travelers and the native prisoners find Godzilla and try to use him to help defeat Red Bamboo. It's a ridiculous plot, and it's all pretty silly, but hey, this is a monster movie, not high art. Besides Ebirah and Godzilla, Mothra makes an appearance, as does some unnamed condor who shows up and pesters Godzilla. I just love how on the dvd case there's a label declaring "Godzilla fights in a war against terror!" It adds to the fun camp value of things, even though this isn't really that good or interesting of a movie. This movie is a little slow, and a tad boring even, but it does pick up and get better as it moves along. I just wish there would have been less stuff with the humans and more stuff with the monsters. This movie does have it's moments, and if you want a few laughs it does the job, but overall, you could skip this and you wouldn't regret it.
