This film may be fun, but as a confrontation between two of the greatest monsters ever to grace the silver screen, it is a considerable disappointment.

The Japanese version is not great, but it is much better, thanks to the satire. My favorite moment is when the iiritable boss (who financed the expedition to find Kong) is throwing a tantrum because Godzilla has upstaged the giant ape in the media coverage. When he declares there can't possibly be anything more to write about Godzilla, one of his underlings raises hand sheepishly and says, "They're making a movie."

Of all the Toho films, this is the one ripe for a remake.
