More than 50 years after the fact, the original Godzilla is at long last released for the North American market. To be completely fair, the Japanese original isn’t radically unlike the American recut. Aside from the absence of the Raymond Burr scenes spliced in for U.S. audiences – and of course subtitles rather than dubbing – the two aren’t really all that much different. Still, I have enough “see it in its original form” left over from film school indoctrination to appreciate at least having the opportunity to experience what the director originally intended. Worth seeing
