Addams Vs Munsters Family Fued (2pc)

Honestly, to me it seems that the only reasons that this video carries the title that it does are simply to get G fans to purchase it, and because the producers of the video decided that they needed to have some kind of featured monster to serve as the springboard into the rest of the documentary. Personally, I would have preferred (and had hoped) that the entire first tape would have been spent discussing the origins of Godzilla at the Toho studios and then each of the individual films from the series, some behind the scenes footage would have been a nice touch as well. Instead, the G fan is given a brief and mediocre (at best) history of Godzilla and some of the very talented men behind him. Maybe, with the King's 50th anniversary coming up, we true G fans will finally be given the Godzilla history video we've been waiting so long for and have, to date, been so shamefully deprived of.

Over all, "Godzilla and Other Movie Monsters" isn't really an awful video, the film footage (some of which is quite rare) taken from the other monster movies is certainly a blessing to any fan of the genre, it just doesn't deliver the goods that a diehard G fan, like myself, so greatly desires and deserves.

On a brief sidenote, I'd like to take time right now to recant all the awful things I've said about the Heisei (2nd series of Japanese G films) in my review for "Godzilla 1985", and the current Alternate Universe (3rd series of Japanese G films)in my review for "Godzilla 2000". ALL the Japanese Godzilla films, from 1954 through the present, are completely wonderful and imaginitive films which shouldn't be missed by any fan of Sci-fi/Fantasy movies. Sure some of the Japanese G films are better than others (what film series isn't like that), but all are certainly landmarks not only of Asian cinema, but of film history period!

Thank you.
