I grew up watching Godzilla movies instead of Disney films, and initially found my way to i09 by way of the 'kaiju' tag, so it always warms my radioactive heart to see articles about the biggest part of my childhood. Thanks for posting this one, Annalee. You're awesome.
@Kpibca: I also grew up watching Godzilla movies, and Giant Robot. I still have fond memories of watching Godzilla vs. Megalon at the drive-in theater.
There are some truly epic monster fights, but I had to fast forward through a lot of the human stuff. The human characters are hilariously campy, but they dragged it out way too long, including some of the human vs. human fights that just went on forever.
Still, when Gigan shows up with his freaking chainsaw hand...pure awesome!
@Ed Grabianowski: That is the problem with every single kaiju movie EVER. The human scenes are WAY TOO LONG. But there's Rodan in here, and Gigan, and an alien who stamps his feet. Too cool.
