Summary: Bubble gum for the eyes.
Review: This is the second best Godzilla film in the entire series.
The first has always been Godzilla vs. The Thing.
This is the kind of movie that is best enjoyed on a cold winters night and a huge bowl of popcorn. It is far one of Toho Studios most ambitious productions. The set designs, costumes and miniature effects are superior for that time period and have a great look.
The film offers great action sequences, interesting characters and just the right touches of humor,slapstick and fun.
This is the kind of monster movie that was made at a time when studios didnt have to dump millions of dollars on special effects and actors salaries.
The simplistic look to this film only adds to its charm and that is why this film has endured now for over 40 years.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: this movie is good for all godzilla fans
Review: king kong got what he deserved for stepping in godzilla's territory tokyo is godzilla's domain and in my opinion godzilla won that fight cause kong knew he was beat thats why he retreated back to farrell island and thats all i got to say about that

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Monster Man
Review: I loved King Kong and Godzilla on VHS. As cheesy as it is its still great. I would love it if they remede this one. But not from the people who remade Godzilla with Mathew Broderick. That was awful and WAS NOT Godzilla. It looked like a giant eguana.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: kingkong-vs-godzilla
Review: first oh all, the 5-star review is for the film, not the dvd. i would give the dvd a 2. the print used is of poor quality, and the special features are non existant. the cover is [..] also. the film, however is far more enjoyable. a must for all godzilla fans. the first thing that strikes you is the overall apperance of godzilla....massive!!!! this is his kinjogi costume....pure power in every way. godzilla has never looked more reptillian. the opening scene's of godzilla destroying the milatary base are some of the films best moments.all is not perfect however due to the appearance of eric carter in some [...] american inserts. these scenes add nothing to the film. also not adding much to this film other than being godzilla's puching bag is king kong. any dout who wins this battle of giants is never in doubt as godzilla throws an overmatched kong around like a rag doll.look for a few funny moments.....the japanese gilligan, mr. taco, and local tv reporters telling general shinzo how to stop kong from destroying tokyo......godzilla rocks in this one folks. one more thing..... the japanese "version" is not much different than the one you see here... thier are not two endings to this film.....dont waist your time looking for this phantom version.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: King Kong vs. Godzilla....
Review: The Heavyweight bout of the Century happend to be Toho's biggest grossing Godzilla movie, to date. To me, this movie has to be the most enjoyable G movie I've ever watched. Mainly because I'm rooting for both sides to win. This is one G movie I highly recommend to all. You'll be glad you got it...I assure you.

Summary: Godzilla Vs King Kong - Good Times 1998-2001 release
Review: Godzilla Vs King Kong (1963)(Goodtimes 1998-2001) 2/5
This disc contains a 4:3 picture (I don't know if this is the original ratio so I won't comment)and has scratches throughout. The colours are not very good and look washed out and the whole picture looks flat. It has a mono soundtrack which is passable. The extras are, Subtitles in English, Spanish and French(although only english as an audio option), producion note, which is actually one page of text which gives you a very very small insight into the film. It has chapters too and when you put the disc in it goes straight to the menu no copyright notices or anything. The version on the disc is the american edited version and only that.
Good Points: It's watchable if you don't have any other copy.
Bad Points:It doesn't have an option for the japanese version, the film hasn't been restored at all and not even a trailer as an extra??
The rating is for the DVD, I rated it 2 stars because it is watchable as a bog standard version of the movie but more dedicated fans should save their money for a future release.

Rating: 5 stars

Review: "SPECIAL EFFECTS ARE ABOVE AVERAGE."
Leonard Maltin`s Movie & Video Guide

East meets West as the fate of Japan hangs in the balance in this
colossal clash between two of the mightiest movie monsters of all
time: Godzilla, who is soon to return to the big screen, and King

King Kong
vs.
Godzilla

Emerging from the iceberg where he was trapped in his last adventure, Godzilla heads for Tokyo, while a drug co. discovers the Mighty Kong on a remote Pacific Island called Faro Island, where Kong battles a giant octopus. Soon these two terrible titans are on a collision course, as the authorities realize that the only way to defeat then is to pit them against each other in a spectacular finale showdown on top of Mt.

Summary: The Worst Special Effects aver
Review: The reason why thise film has bad effects because that, when the the actors are up close to King Kong, there bodies are blues and it looks like someone took a picture of the actor and pasted it on another piece of film with King Kong. The only thing good in this movie is story line and Godzilla's suite, this suite is realistic, more realistic than godzilla vs. Mothra. You will like the ending, and the japanese version is that Godzilla wins and King Kong dies. The Americanized version which is dubbed has King kong live.
