 "Yes, it IS widescreen"Despite the fact that the info says it is standard screen format, this is indeed the NEW dvd re-release by ADV that gives you widescreen. ADV realized their error by releasing it originally in standard, but this proves that they do listen to fans. The new widecreen dvd version of this classic Godzilla movie is a MUST for all fans of the genre.  "Good, could be better"The final battle between ghidrah and the earth's monsters is the best part of the film but the monster scenes before that are not as good as i exspected. The part where the monsters attack the city is dull because mothra and manda sucked. It would have been better if it was godzilla, rodan,baragon and varan destroying the city. It would have also been better if gigan,megalon and mechagodzilla would have appeared for the first time in this film instead of the later godzilla movies so they would be able to fight alongside ghidrah, now that would be a hell of a movie.  "This movie is magnificent"This movie has a powerful and moving musical score. The "Main Title" and "Destroying the Remote Control" are the two best ones. The monster involvement of Manda, Baragon, and Varan are brief, but it was good to see them in a movie other than their debut ones. The Killaks give a good performance that makes you think they really are evil. DESTROY ALL MONSTERS is Godzilla's ninth film and Toho's twentieth film overall. That's why it had such an enormous budget and a large but good cast of characters. If it was the 60's right now, I'd say that this movie would be hard to top. "It *is* Widescreen."The recent news from ADV is that this movie *is* widescreen, so don't believe that other review, he posted before finding out the final word on this, and that's what happens sometimes.  "No Widescreen?"I can't believe the non-fans at ADVision put out a widescreen version on VHS but are butchering it to fullframe for DVD. Why would anyone ruin a perfectly wonderful Gojira experience? |
