King Kong Vs. Godzilla (EOTWS)

End Of The Week Shorts #22 extract: King Kong Vs. Godzilla (1962)

King Kong vs. Godzilla is a good candidate for one of the worst movies I've ever seen. I stay away from bad movies as I don't find them novel or fun, but I was hoping that the many filmmakers who made this movie would have some dignity. Apparently not. 

There's no need to make a comparison to the original Godzilla out of respect here, and there's little need to mention the original King Kong either. King Kong vs. Godzilla is bastardisation smacked onto celluloid with pritt stick and cheap glitter. You'll find better cinema by going eye level to watch children play with their toys than you would watching this film. Nothing at all works; the sets, the costumes, the direction, the script, the comedy, the performances, the sound design... everything sucks. Maybe this worked a little better in '62, but if I hear someone call for more models and costumes in modern movies as opposed to CGI, I may slap them in the face with this movie. 

If you want to watch this... good luck. 

*Note. I watched the English version.
