The Art of Godzilla: King of the Monsters

Because of a few poor reviews I wasn’t originally going to get the Blu-Ray of Godzilla: King of the Monsters. Then I thought, what the heck, I’ve been watching Godzilla movies since the ’60s and have all the others on DVD.To my surprise, it wasn’t just better than I expected, it was better than every other single Godzilla movie since the first one. That’s the Japanese original. The Americanised watered-down version with Raymond Burr just isn’t the same film and doesn’t count. I watched G:KotM three times in as many weeks. I then bought three of the t-shirts (Rodan is my favourite) which I can’t wait to wear when the weather gets warmer and I won’t care who laughs at a 71-year-old man wearing garish colourful monster tees. Wear your Godzilla with pride!Then I went and ordered this book which arrived a couple of hours ago. It’s hefty and not a little heavy with decent quality paper. The text, of which there is plenty, is all interesting. But it is the artwork, which consists primarily of detailed pre-production slash concept material, is where it excels. It’s sometimes quite different from the filmed version which makes it even more interesting.At a penny under thirty quid, it isn’t cheap but if you loved the movie, it’s worth it.

This book is so much more than expected. My son (22) is a Godzilla fanatic and historian and it’s hard to find a gift that’s ‘out of the ordinary’ but this hit the mark!!

fast delivery and in good quality, excellent

Fantastic book, the artwork is amazing and it tells you all about the creature design and production.

Amazing book, art work is out of this world!

Great gift for a Godzilla mad fan. It’s perfect!

ok - top seller !!!!

Not as good as the first art of Godzilla book, which gave everything it had involved in the project. This gives you some good stuff but was not what I was hoping for. Especially when the internet keeps releasing better stuff than what was in half of this book. Not quite worth the full value, wait till it’s redu

Buena ilustraciónea y exelente libro

A serie " The art of.." sempre foi maravilhosa. Para este filme sensacional, nada melhor do que um livro sensacional.

The book arrived promptly, was packaged well, and arrived in excellent condition. My granddaughter was thrilled with this book. She is a Film student, and loves the artwork inside the book, as well as getting information about the movie itself.

With an 85% audience rating and a 40% critics rating on ROTTEN TOMATOES - and a B+ from Cinemascore - this movie was more of an audience pleaser than a critical darling. Nevertheless, this book is a testament to the awesome creativity employed in bringing to life the first appearance of Mothra, King Ghidorah, and Rodan (as well as an up-dated and more accurate Godzilla) in an American Godzilla film. Great book!

Interesting book most focus on monster. It has some great artwork, but it feels a little weak at some point. If you are ahard Godzilla fan then it is nice to have, otherwise you better look into it in detail to see if thats what you are looking for.
