You likely are not as aware of some of the back-breaking work that went into making this film possible. You all know the dynamic influence it had on so many monster movies. You all know the story and the monster of King Kong. Clever writing, grim messages, and effects that for the time were actually quite impressive, it's a one of a kind film, making it one of America's best monster flicks, and number two, only to Godzilla. It's one of the few monster movies that came out in the 50's, that did nearly everything right, avoiding the clichés and mistakes that would stain other monster films in this era. Them is a clear underdog, and not well known, but in the words of many critics, it is taught science fiction at its finest. It's really great dialogue even if it is 50's cheesy sometimes. One line that immediately comes to mind is the very last line in which it gives a warning on par with the original Japanese Godzilla movie, we don't know what we will find now that we've entered a new age. And the dialogue of this movie I believe is legendary. If you never saw a trailer, you would think for the first thirty minutes you were watching a thriller murder mystery most of the time.

Giant ants are only slightly hinted at during the first third of the film. But what I love about this one is it's pacing. As one of the first radioactive big bug movies, it was one of the first of its kind, and laid out the road for many famous Monster flicks. The menaces came in the form of giant ants, which may sound goofy, but it's actually pulled off near flawlessly. It took us to the grounds of the first atomic bomb test, and showed us what man created with his new weapon. The movie however I believe is the biggest first step in Giant Monster movies. You may or may not have heard of this film, it came out after Beast from 20,000 Fathoms, and a few months before Godzilla, but it's kind of an underdog. You may find it surprising that I would place this above King Kong, but I've got some reasons for placing this movie above it. So did the reboot come close? That's a matter of opinion for every fan, but in the minds of most Godzilla fans, we will forever hail this movie as the number one monster film of all time. It is the one Godzilla movie, each movie can look back to as a true starting point, wherever you start in the Godzilla franchise, the year 1954 will always be mentioned. And no one would think that sixty years later, we'd still be celebrating this film, and showing it worldwide in theaters. The raw emotions of this film are easily seen as is the anti nuke message. This film rose amongst harsh criticism, and was successful in one of Japan's strongest franchises to date.

And at the time, when it was competing against Japanese film giants like Seven Samurai (a film which Gojira would lose to in the Best Picture Award race, and I can't disagree, Seven Samurai is an epic and a classic adventure for Japanese Cinema), it battled harsh reviews that made 1998s Godzilla look merciful. What isn't to like about the legendary debut of the King of Monsters? Not only is it successful in portraying the then, young fears of nuclear warfare in the Japanese culture, but was successful in creating the most iconic monster in film history.
