Mighty Joe Young 3.5/5
I really expected this to be a rerun of King Kong, and for the first 2/3rd it mostly was, but it then wildly diverged into unexpected territory of a chase, followed by rescue that was genuinely exciting. The male lead was one of the worst actors I’ve ever seen, but the rest of the cast was solid. Pretty decent.
King Kong Vs Godzilla 3/5
Ignoring the shockingly bad DVD transfer, this is one of the most fun godzillas for me, with both beasties smashing up trains and cities, and watching Kong’s arms change length throughout. I’m sure there was a bit where Kong swings Godzilla round and round by the tail, but I only saw a snatch of it in this version. Also Kong’s face looks terrible in this, as do the blacked-up Japanese island natives. FUN.
