While Godzilla certainly surpassed Beast From 20,000 Fathoms, there is little doubt that Beast From 20,000 Fathoms was a high quality film. One can easily see that this film helped to establish the standard for these types of films that would be used for decades to come. Despite this, the story was really solid and it definitely drew me in. The special effects were not the best, but they were certainly pretty good for a film in the early 50s. In addition, I felt there was some solid character development. I particularly liked the female lab assistant and the main character, the professor. I would have liked to have seen more destruction particularly in New York, but considering how early this film was, I am not surprised. Overall, an excellent film, I throughly enjoyed it.

I'm glad you liked it. It's definitely one of the best monster movie's from that decade and one of the best giant monsters movies of all time.
Trollhunter
One of my favorite movies, one of the best giant monster movies and one of the best found footage movies. It has a great story, likable characters and good realistic acting. The Trolls are awesome looking and you get a lot of good looks at them without it being overdone. Definitely recommended to anyone who hasn't seen it. A movie that every horror fan should see.
