King Kong vs. Godzilla- it was simple genius to put the two greatest giant movie monsters together in the monster brawl of the century. The movie begins with Godzilla breaking out of an iceburg, because in the previous movie; "Godzilla Raids Again" 1955; he was trapped in the artic. Meanwhile, a TV corporate sends a couple of his employees to retreive a "monster god" from an island because of their ridiculously low ratings. They go to the island, befriend the natives, and a giant octopus attacks in the night. So who's going to rescue them? Why the monster god of course- who turns out to be none other than King Kong himself. But this isn't the 25 foot gorilla from the 1933 classic- oh no, not by a long shot. This Kong is a guy in a rubber suit who walks on two legs and is a staggering 150 feet tall, to match Godzilla's size of course. So the octopus retreats and Kong is tricked into falling asleep with a musical number that would fit nicley into a Broadway play. Kong is captured and taken by boat but of coarse, he escapes. And during all this, the Japanese military is still trying the destroy Godzilla, but nothing works! That is until they set up an electrical fence. Which is strange, because in the first movie they tried the exact same thing and that didn't work. Convenitly, Kong is powered by electricity, so he breaks through. And yet again they trick him to fall asleep. But not to return him to the island, but to fight Godzilla on Mt. Fuji. Its a truly entertaining fight. The kids will especially like it. An earthquake occurs and the two monsters fall into the ocean. A few seconds later, Kong emerges victorious, and he swims out to sea and back to his island. But what happened to Godzilla? My guess is he was beat into submission and dug his way into the Earth. Great monster fights, relatable charactors, and good music, all contribute to this film, which is easily one of the best films in the Godzilla series.
