Rating:  - I HATE PHONY WIDESCREEN
There is true widescreen and there is false widescreen. This is one of the many (And I do mean many) dvds released under the latter. Amazon lists this as being 1:66.1. That's when a good print of 2:35.1 the most common of the widest scope is not available they work with something reasonable that loses some of the sides, but it is livable. This Movie looks like it was filmed at 1:33.1 fullscreen (TV shaped) then cropped at 1:85.1. I mean how do you explain why the Behemoth's head keeps disappearing ... Read More
Rating:  - the music, the lighting, the sound! whoa
to say this movie is underrated is well an understatement. I'm amazed that all the astute fan reviews have not noted the magnificent spine tingling music score the dramatic lighting in many scenes and the juicy sound effects not to mention the distinctive memorable roar of the monster. There was only one perfect giant monster picture and that was the Beast from 20,000 Fathoms but while the Beast is equivalent to the technical polish of say TVs Twilight Zone
the Giant Behemoth is like TV's the ... Read More
Rating: - B/W Monsters are the real deal ! ! !
If you love B/W MONSTERS AS I DO...YOU WILL GREATLY ENJOY "THEM"...AND..."THE GIANT BEHEMOTH....They will take you back in time..when the atomic bomb was first developed in the world... These monsters where a result of radiation....stop motion anamation allowed these creatures to look and sound very real...the acting is warmer and very real aswell to the eye....What a delight to see them again...
Rating:  - the giant waste of time
What a disappointment! I had not seen this since the late 60's, when I was just a boy. The name of Willis O'Brien lured me, but the very ordinary commentary tells us that Obie had very little to do with the production. Incidentally, the two doing the commentary seem to know less about the movie than I do! Try as I might, I can't recommend this to any monster movie enthusiast.
Rating:  - It's just plain ol' fun
This is a type of movie that you would watch when nothing is on the Tube and you want to relax and enjoy yourself with a nice cold beer and a pizza. It is a fabulous experience to watch these movies and imagine what it must have been like to be in a drive-in seeing these movies for the first time on a friday night.
It take a unique individual with a love for the classics B Moster movies to enjoy these classics. I would recommend this, it rates up there with The Thing with James Arness or Them. ... Read More
