About

'This mid 1960's offering is easily one of the better films of Ishiro Honda's career, and certainly one of the more likeable kaiju films out there. While the plot is a slight rehash of its prequel, Frankenstein vs. Baragon (1965), Honda manages to bring new things to the table which make The War of the Gargantuas a worthy film in its own right. The production exceeds on several levels as well, as the film does an excellent job of updating its predecessor's plot to the point where this story feels like a completely new offering … furthermore, the special effects by Eiji Tsubraya are done very well from a contemporary viewpoint, and Akira Ifukube's riveting score is arguably a career high.'
