What can I say. Godzilla has captured the imagination of my grandson*. If it’s anything to do with Godzilla then he’s right there in a sec. This one seems to be his favorite at the moment. He’s sure to wear it out from frequent watching. I don’t really get it — for me if you’ve seen 1 you’ve seen them all, but he can go on and on and on about this movie. Too cute!

*Musta got it from my daughter cause she had an affinity for Godzilla at his age too and will sit and watch this with him even today. . . .

I was sorely disappointed. Sorry, guys, but this was a waste. I love BigG, but the writers were really stretching this time. To summarize the plot, a scientist revisiting the destructive power of the Oxygen Destroyer (“Godzilla, King of the Monsters”) creates (inexplicably) monster-sized micro-organisms which can, at times, mutate into one giant monster. This behemoth of a bacteria (Destoroyah) spontaneously degenerates into little bugs and reforms time and again. The whole movie is just too trippy for my taste–I loved King of the Monsters, GvsMechaG, Destroy All Monsters, and GvsSpazeG, but Destoroyah shames the good name of Godzilla.

Even the dubbers sounded on the verge of nodding off. They don’t even come off as humorous (as I always expect). The effects are particularly cheesey. . . but also boring and rarely comical: city backdrops with the mammoth creatures rarely venturing passed the buildings (only at the end). I guess this was done on the cheap! Several scenes are similar to Aliens: Godzilla’s opponents look similar to the Queen Alien (indeed, a cross between Queen and that creature from Predator). One hour and 42 minutes long! Some tightening up would have been benefitial. Don’t get me wrong! I’m a fan! I grew up watching these wonderful Japanese imports. My favorite episodes of Mystery Science Theater 3000 featured the giant turtle Gamera! And most of those were much better than this. 1995’s Godzilla VS Destroyah is not on par with 1993’s Godzilla VS Space Godzilla. Space Godzilla is much more fun with surprisingly good effects. Destroyah features just too much talking and not enough variety in the action scenes. The final series of fight scenes are good (that’s why I gave it 3 instead of 2 stars). But if you want a good time. . . get Space Godzilla (exciting fun) or King Kong VS Godzilla (a laugh riot!). I’ve heard Godzilla 2000 is quite good too. At any rate lets hope they keep these coming! But next time I hope they’ll work harder to make the english translation tear-inducingly funny as it should be! NOTE: The film’s one saving grace is the awesome array of Japanese babes! Lots of high-pitched screams! Sorry. . . just had to say it.

I haven’t seen the first one in this set, but Godzilla vs. Godzilla with mountains for shoulders is good. I’m a huge fan of crappy, badly done cinema (just cause its there, I think), and this one delivers.
Apparently, Godzilla DNA out in space mutates, or something. . . and it goes on from there. Then, the rubber clad lizards fight for a while, open beers, and forget what they were fighting about. In fact, they wonder why they even started. . .
And that’s when the fighting resumes. It’s over the affections of Rodan, beautiful Rodan. . . They both want her, and in utter desperation, Godzilla pulls out a beautiful diamond ring and says his classic line “You had me at hello. ”
Rodan says yes to his proposal and Space Godzilla finds the nearest giant 12 gauge shotgun, puts the barrel in his mouth and pulls the trigger with his scaled toe. . . a tragic end to Space Godzilla. . . but Godzilla starts a new life in Paris with Rodan, and they forget about the whole mess. . . . life sure is a kick in the pants, huh, folks?. .
