    Godzilla vs. the Sea Monster AKA Ebirah - Horror of the Deep (1966) is a campy delight in which Godzilla eventually fights a giant lobster, a fight that at times includes some beach volley-ball and a dance-off. I say eventually, because both he and ally Mothra sleep through most of the movie. More than usual I mean. I suppose it must be a hibernation period for the King of Monsters, because after his first bout, he falls asleep again. He's really, really groggy. And I think Mothra wakes up with, like 9 minutes left or something. But as usual, while these films must include kaiju fights, they're about people doing things in the monsters' paths. In this one, our hero crashes a dance-off (oh there are like 5 or 6 dance moments in the flick) to win a boat so he can go looking for his brother, lost at sea, and currently being held, along with Mothra-ite island folk by the Red Bamboo criminal army, who of course, must be crushed by monsters by the end. He teams up with a couple of dancers, a criminal on the run, and an island girl, and to my surprise, they have a lot more agency than humans usually do in these things. It's not the best Godzilla movie by any stretch, but you could do a lot worse if you're just looking for a fun time watching young adults run around Star Trek sets. 7 years 9 months ago
