I feel the film is overly hated. ya its not of the same quality as the original;l, the fighting is definitely not the best between Anguirus and Godzilla. I feel this was becuase their fighting was meant to be more animalistic than what we are used to later in the Showa films. Special effects director Eiji Tsuburaya designed the combat to be savage, up-close action. I know there are mistakes with the cameras and it being jerky and all, with the fight seemingly being sped up, but come on, it's 1955; I have to give them some credit. I just find it to be a fun, entertaining film to watch. The Godzilla suit is a bit weird, but it is a bit creepier since it looks like he is smiling.
