Kaiju fever: Ebirah, Horror of the deep (1966)

Here the series takes a different turn with the first of several Godzilla films directed by Jun fukuda. A much more self contained movie than the rest of the series by being set on one island location, the film was originally written to star King Kong but instead got replaced by Godzilla, which is why in the film Godzilla acts more like King Kong than himself. Despite this I still think the film is still pretty fun, the plot is pretty enjoyable and the monster action is entertaining too and I think Ebirah looks pretty cool. It may not feel much like a Godzilla film, but it's still a fun watch overall.***
