King Kong vs. Godzilla, released in 1963, proves more a great high concept than an actual film worth seeing. It serves up a fun international battle of monsters and surrounds it with a lot of sound and fury that signifies very little. The human characters are particularly irrelevant here. I have affection for it only because I was among the legion of kids who loved watching the old (and not so old)
daikaiju films. Years later, with a newer kaiju series, made in the United States and featuring budgets greater than entire past series of such films, it was inevitable someone would stage this match again.
