Godzilla vs Hedorah Revisit

Unleashthefanboy.com has a great article highlighting their revisit to the classic Godzilla film "Godzilla Vs Hedorah".

This was of course the movie that featured fan-favorite kaiju "The Smog Monster", one of the most unusual and original villains Godzilla had ever faced.

Even though he only has one movie to his credit (two if you consider his super-brief cameo in "Godzilla - Final Wars" to be another appearance), to this day Hedorah has remained a staple within other formats such as comic books, games, toys, etc.

In any case the website chronicles their criticism/love for this movie.

They felt it was too goofy in some circumstances while in others the movie shined, such as the fight between Godzilla and Hedorah.

And of course who can forget Godzilla flying through the air thanks to his atomic breath!

I still have a suspicion that if Legendary Pictures goes with a monster in their upcoming "Godzilla" film, it's probably going to be Hedorah.

He just seems the most circumstantial considering the audience/environment this movie would target.

Here's the review in its entirety:
