As a whole, Dogora is one of the least remarkable films from Toho's golden age of science fiction and monster movies. The premise is a creative one, mixing gangster crime elements with an imaginative monster unlike anything seen before. Perhaps it's a consequence of director Honda and writer Sekizawa having already made two Godzilla films that same year (which are both classics) that there wasn't enough time to develop this story. Despite a great, if repetitive soundtrack, and a cool monster, the film isn't all that memorable.
