Godzilla (1954) Review

It was certainly a shock to middle school me when I learned Steve Marin was inserted. So my first watch after learning that was 'oh wait a minute....we can't see any of the character's faces when he interacts with them!' It was trippy but yes Japan loved this version too and it should be remembered. Same as Godzilla 1985.

Making this one free.

I avoided the American version for basically my whole life since I’ve always had access to the original, but I finally watched it this year when I was going through the Criterion Showa collection. It’s honestly really good and Raymond Burr is a great actor. Not as good as the original, of course, but I always looked at it like the Sandy Frank Gamera dubs or something.
