This is such a fun entry into the series. It all starts with the discovery of Planet X, just beyond Jupiter. That causes the World Space Organization to send a ship, with astronauts Fuji and Glenn aboard to investigate. They find people there, and King Ghidorah, fresh of his defeat at the hands of Godzilla, Rodan and Mothra. The inhabitants ask to "borrow" Godzilla and Rodan to fight the menace, but it's a ruse and soon the aliens are trying to take over Earth to steal that precious water which, unbeknownst to people in the 1960s, is actually plentiful in our solar system. OK, so the plot is ludicrous but fun, the ship designs are all cool, it features some interesting costumes and sets, and of course great music by the one and only Akira Ifukube. The monster action is great, though I would have liked more of that, and the humans and aliens in the plot aren't bad. All told, it's a great movie, and it gave us something you'll either love or hate: Godzilla's victory dance on Planet X. Fun fact: In the two pack with the English and Japanese versions, no matter which version you watch, someone is being dubbed, but not everyone. Nick Adams spoke English the whole time, despite everyone else speaking Japanese. So, for the Japanese release, they dubbed over him with someone speaking Japanese. Conversely, he's the only one that didn't get dubbed over for the American release. So, if you watch the American version, you're actually hearing Nick Adams speak, while everyone else is dubbed over.Read full review

A must have for every Godzilla fan. Containing both the original Japanese language and the English version of this classic makes this official Toho Master Collection version is the one to have. All the most fun elements in any Godzilla picture are here: aliens in wire work flying saucers, miniature tanks and fighter jets, crowds of people running for their lives to escape the near total destruction of wonderfully built scaled cities. All executed in that unmistakably 1960s period design. And of course a beat down or two of three classic monsters; Rodan, King Ghidorah, and the real King himself: GODZILLA!!! C'mon, it's guys in rubber suits. It doesn't get any better than this!
