I just watched this one recently myself. It couldn't have been very good because it's only been a couple of weeks and I've already forgotten most of the plot. Now Godzilla vs. The Thing (Mothra) was a good one.

I do remember being irritated that the American version supposedly has Kong "winning," although you really can't say that definitively by looking at the ending. Just because Kong is above water and Godzilla isn't, doesn't mean that big "G" isn't down below watching the silly ape head back where he came from.

I don't know... I guess I never liked the concept of King Kong. Maybe it's because Godzilla is sort of believable in that he could be looked at as some kind of relation to the giant dinosaurs that roamed the earth... maybe not quite his size, but pretty darned big. There was no King Kong-type ape a zillion years ago that I've ever read about.

Oh, well. We all have different favorites. It's all good among monster kids.
