Talk:Yonggary (1967 film)/@comment-343942-20160426060903

An uneven, but enjoyable kaiju flick.

As far as the suit, miniatures and special effects are concerned, they're easily on par with the Toho films of the time. The Yongary suit has your typical Godzilla body plan, but is also different enough to be interesting; sort of a cross between Godzilla, a styracosaurus and a stegosaurus.

The story isn't anything new: Atomic Explosion = Giant Monster. The characters aren't particularly engaging themselves, and the movie's resident Kenny, Icho, really gets under my skin, though that has more to do with his dub actor's monotone robot voice.

The only thing really different is the monster's weakness to ammonia, which leads to one of the most... er... unique kaiju deaths ever.

Overall, while its just another face in the crowd as far as 60's kaiju flicks go (with the exception of the monster's death), it's still an enjoyable for the monster action if for nothing else.
