Son of Godzilla Review

Review of Son of Godzilla (1967) by screenqueeen: 👍 3/5

If it weren't for the expert puppetry on display with the mantis trio and the giant spider terrorizing the scientific crew this would be a pretty lackluster entry. Godzilla's son's design just looks wrong on so many levels and the donkey sound effects for him do not help me to forget that.

That aside, the increasing humanistic portrayal of Godzilla works at its best here. Godzilla transitioning into a parent is the most relatable thing in the movie, and the body language between him and his son have the most potential in the furthering of them both as burgeoning forces of good.
