Having seem both the “Americanized” re-edit and the original version, It will cone as no surprise that the original is much better. The American version was one of the more outright ridiculous Americanizations I’ve seen, but the original version had the surprise of being one of the strongest inspirations for Godzilla Minus One with at least 3 plot points lifted directly from the film.That said, like the early Godzilla’s this movie suffers from lack of non-monster plot. The first 25 minutes is about all the character plot you get. After that it’s just military planning and overly long sequences of the monster being unsuccessfully attacked.Definitely not gold, but some great ideas floating around.
