Viewing Notes

Despite the fact they never really explain who the Red Bamboo organization really are or what they’re truly up to, this is a pretty decent movie; even taking into account that Godzilla sleeps, literally, through two-thirds of it.

Another first time watch for me.

It’s this movie among others that had me chuckling at the “old school” fans criticizing the lack of Godzilla in the 2014 film.

There are a number of the Toho films where he’s just a side attraction!
