>>8620383King Kong is just a basic adventure story. It was the cutting-edge special effects that made it into such a revolutionary and significant film.
>>8620387You do know that Honda directed seven more movies with Godzilla after the original one, right? Many of his subsequent films had the same special effects director (Tsuburaya), composer, and actors as well. Tanaka (the man who created Godzilla) produced every Godzilla movie from 1954-1995. What I'm trying to say is that the same people who made the original movie were heavily involved in most of the sequels as well. I don't think every Godzilla movie is great, but I think most of them are enjoyable with only a handful of stinkers. That's a pretty good record for a franchise with over 30 movies under its belt.
