Talk:Varan (1958 film)/@comment-343942-20140307032640

One of the duller movies from Toho's early kaiju career... or rather the American version, which is likely more the western editors' fault than Toho's. Much of the film is mostly pointless banter, with no real character development. I've never seen the original, so I have no clue if it's better or not.

The monster action is the film's only saving grace; despite appearing in a less-than-spectacular movie, Varan is probably one of my favorite Toho kaiju. He desperately needs more love.
