Title: Bad, but not agonizing
Review: Godzilla vs. Gigan isn't a good Godzilla movie by any stretch of the imagination. It isn't even an OK Godzilla movie. But having been made a few years after the horrific Godzilla's Revenge and immediatly before the insipid Godzilla vs. Megalon, it comes across as a breath of breathable, if not fresh, air. The plot is standard for the time and fairly unimaginative, and the characters are truly awful. The monster action is at least fairly entertaining, but the only really good part is Akira Ifukube's score, the hearing of which can cause you to forgive a lot of the movie's sins. The final fight scene, unfortunatley, is the worst bit of the monster action, being too slow and dull to really stir anything. Bottom line: watch it, but only if there are no better Godzilla movies available.
