Talk:Ebirah, Horror of the Deep/@comment-3082508-20140201094252

Honestly, this is another Godzilla film I really enjoy. I love the fact it's set on an island, it's a great change of pace from the usual city setting and it keeps the films fresh. All I ever hear is "this film sucks because is was originally meant to be King Kong." Well King Kong was originally meant to fight Frankenstein before it was changed to Godzilla, yet nobody complains about that. I think the human characters were very strong in this film and we really care for them. They don't come off as dull and we can relate to them because they are just average people. I also loved the more innocent side to Godzilla in this film, it makes it though he is just an animal trying to get by in life; yet everyone and every thing won't leave him alone. Like when he was trying to sleep, only to get attacked by a condor and then jets shortly afterward. I also loved how the human characters warned Godzilla to get off the island, it touched me as a child to see humans actually care for Godzilla. I also find Ebirah a pretty impressive monster. Sure, it's hard to follow up King Ghidorah. But I thought the Ebirah suit was very well made and it looks almost realistic. This film also has some great moments like the volley ball rock battle, Godzilla's victory nose scratch, and Godzilla taunting Ebirah after he ripped his arms off. It also has some great money shots like Ebirah's giant claw in the storm and Godzilla shooting his atomic breath at the camera. Sure it can be slow at first and the fight scene between Godzilla and Mothra made no sense (Mothra shouldn't have been in the film). But overall, I still highly enjoy this film and it has some great moments. I will say it's not one of the very best Godzilla films, but FAR from being one of the worst.
