which is, in many ways, superior to the Godzilla films. The production values are certainly way ahead of Toho's efforts. I thought the monsters, both mother and son, looked reasonably realistic. The real military vehicles, as compared to the wind-up tin ones in the Godzilla films, added a nice touch of realism.
I particularly liked the scenes showing Gorgo's first visit ashore; his mother coming ashore on the same island, in the midst of a thunderstorm, to search for him; his mother overturning the British destroyer; mother wrecking London Bridge and Big Ben; and the final reunion of parent and offspring. The ending was very unusual for this type of movie.
Not perfect but, all in all, a good monster flick, well worth watching.
