The G-Fest film I’m really excited about, of course, is Ghidorah the Three Headed Monster. (Ghidrah, back in my day.) It’s hard to explain how incredible Ghidrah was back then, a monster so powerful that it took Toho’s Big Three combined to defeat it. Plus the first combined universe mash-up since the Universal monster films. Monsters from three discrete films coming together! Wheeeeeee!
Ghidrah, of course, like all super-awesome foes (the Hammer Dracula, the Borg, the Daleks) because markedly less awesome the more it appeared, as it had to be defeated all the time. Even as a kid I was disappointed by Monster Zero, in that Ghidrah could be defeated by only two monsters (Godzilla and Rodan), rather than requiring three of them.
Anyway, great movie. I can’t wait to see it on a very big screen.
