Stoutor It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

Nessieldwi Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

Freeman This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

Raymond Sierra The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Ben Larson Getting ready for the new Godzilla, I decided to revisit as many of the old ones as I could.In this one, we see that Godzilla has to defend Baby Godzilla, who is much bigger, against a UN built Transformer-type machine and also Space Godzilla, which was formed by some Godzilla DNA that traveled to space somehow. They keep getting sillier and sillier. This one seemed to drag on forever before we got to the real action. When we did, it wasn't as good as the others. I do have to admit that the finale, when Godzilla destroyed Space Godzilla, was spectacular and one of the best fireworks displays I have seen. The ending was sorta cheesy as Godzilla calmly reenters the sea to some romantic music and a setting sun, as two of the G-Force team walk along the beach holding hands and whispering sweet nothings. Megumi Odaka, Kôichi Ueda, and Kenji Sahara are back from the last film. Watch, if you must, but not as good.

FilmExpertWannabe The Heisei series is kind of frustrating. It started off so well with 1985's Return of Godzilla and 1989's Godzilla vs Biollante, but then got steadily worse until spiking up again with Godzilla vs Destroyah. This is one of those movies I'd pass up if you haven't seen a few of Godzilla's better movies first. Surprisingly for a G flick, not even the music is a redeeming quality.The first problem is the stinkin' pacing of the movie. It's has huge gaping pieces of the film that are dull and make you want to just fast forward to get into some action because nothing of any remote importance is happening and the characters are boring. Then you get to the action and you're totally underwhelmed. The action basically boils down to three scenes. In the beginning Moguera (Japan's semi-replacement for Mechagodzilla, which was destroyed the year before by the Big G) briefly tangles with Spacegodzilla in space ... which looks unquestionably like a black background with giant brown foam balls meant to look like rocks floating in space. It's simply awful, even compared to some of what we've seen in the Showa series. You know it's bad if hardcore Godzilla nerds like me are poking fun at it. The second is a battle between Spacegodzilla and Godzilla himself. The battle is quite brief and nothing happens aside from the two engaging in a beam spam war for a few blasts before SG decides to leave, having taken Little Godzilla hostage. The third battle is the long one with Godzilla and Moguera teaming up against SG. It's an improvement, but it's still mostly just a beam spam fest.The monsters themselves are a mixed bag. Little Godzilla looks rather cute, which wasn't the theme they were going for with him in the prior film nor the succeeding film. Godzilla looks fine, other than perhaps being too chunky; in fact, the suit is so big and bulky that this is the reason that many of the Heisei series monsters relied mostly on their beams, as physical combat was too challenging to do much. Spacegodzilla is a split for me. He looks good other than for the crystal spines, which are just goofy, not that the giant shoulder crystals or the whole crystal aspect to him are much better. Moguera looks lame. He didn't look good in his first appearance (The Mysterians, 1957) and he doesn't look good in this second appearance.In the end, I'm forced to give this one a low score. It has virtually no redeeming qualities and almost all of the bad ones for which Godzilla naysayers can lay claim. The theories of SG's origins with Biollante and Mothra are actually interesting, but then they fail to follow through with it at all. Just disappointing. Watch this one once (even for free on Crackle!) just to say you've seen it, but don't expect all too much.As a final note, in the plot hole for this movie, it is said that the events of previous movies could not have happened due to the time travel plot of 1991's Godzilla vs King Ghidorah. This is actually not the case, and if you care enough you can read why below.

AT-AT This is one of the best of the Heisei movies. Unfortunately thats not saying a lot, but this one really is worth every minute. The 'suitmation' is excellent; from the city rampages to the landscape fights on infant island. The models are well made and the destruction is complete. Godzilla is cool as always, Moguera is OK. I'm personally a bit tired of giant robots, and mecha versions of monsters, but on the other hand it's nice to see the humans playing along with the big boys ;) Spacegodzilla on the other hand is a bit of a let down. hard to imagine when he's basically a Godzilla clone huh? But those two crystals on its shoulders looks like two enormous pimples. How about giving it a crystal ridge down its back to resemble Godzilla's fins?!? Now that would have been cool. He's a worthy opponent none the less. And now for the cheese. There's plenty of bad acting and crazy characters in this one, ridiculous one-liners and if you have the dubbed version, that just add to the fun. Also plot holes are a plenty. Like the explanation on Spacegodzilla's birth. G-cells released by Biollante when it dissolved and went into space and floated around and went through a black hole. If the cells could float around in space and reach a black hole within 4 years, the earth would be in a whole lot more danger than what the intergalactic Godzilla wannabe presented. A worthy installment in the Godzilla saga.

mstomaso Dear Godzilla,Once again, I feel compelled to remind you that, regardless of your Toho contract you do not have to sign up for every single piece of tripe they toss at you. I am sure that the idea of getting your son his first major role was an important selling point, but did you even read the script (assuming there was one) before you agreed to get involved with this? By the way, Gadzuki was quite adorable and played his part with real conviction. I thought the scene you culled from your home movies with him scorching his toe while practicing fire-breathing was a real cute kick! And your female lead, the spectacularly beautiful Megumi Odaka, with whom you have made so many films, is always worth staying up until 3AM to see. Why you and Megumi can't ever seem to make a film worthy of your combined talents, however, is very hard to comprehend.Let me see if I got this right. A mass of crystals with a very small lizard (he looked about 2cm long while hurdling through space) looking vaguely like you lands on your island home and disrupts your family life, imprisoning your son and committing other rude acts. Another very small creature, this one looking like a defective Transformer action figure (Moguera) from the 1980s, has a duel in space with the little crystal lizard thing and suffers one of about 7 humiliating defeats, returning home with its scorched little mechanical tail between its legs. Oh, and somehow both of these are not only your size, but the space critter no longer has an entire carapace of crystals attached to his back when he arrives on earth. Meanwhile, a few inept military officers and government employed scientists are trying to either kill you or work out a way to telepathically control you. As the space impostor then begins the usual rampage through Tokyo, you begin your attack on him, and Moguera joins in, crashing and burning several times and even separating its own legs from its torso! Oh ya, I almost forgot, Mothra and the twins (or, as it seems this time "mothra/the twins") also show up a few times for no apparent reason.I have a few questions.Why didn't you invite Ghidorah, or maybe King Kong? This could have really been a family reunion.Was your son traumatized by this? Is this film the reason why he is rarely seen in public today? What has Megumi been doing lately, besides appearing at a couple of your fan conventions? Do you keep in touch?Have you at least managed to put your foot down at... errrr... I mean "on" Toho's studios yet? If so, why didn't that scene make the final cut? Please keep in mind my ever-open invitation to come to America and wreak revenge on Hollywood for their plagiaristic and disrespectful hiring of an understudy for that recent film they used your name for. As I've said before, large retired actors have unlimited prospects for employment in the state of California, and just think of the reforms you could enact on the film industry as governor! Yours affectionately,
