 "Better than you think."This movie is a step up from."Godzilla's Revenge" Which clearlyuses stock footage from "Godzilla's Son" My vote for the worse Zilla is the "Terror of Mecagodzilla"It's even worse than 'Smog Monster'Which is lame. "Minilla isn't all bad! At least it's better than Barney!"This movie weighs in as yet another South Seas fantasy yarn. Very low bloodshed, light-hearted subject matter. The locations are great on this film. The acting is good, not spectacular, but both consistent and entertaining. Unlike some of the other Godzilla yarns, the monsters here are very plausible and natural. In the science fiction world, heat and radiation can enlarge just about anything. A few of the Godzilla/Minilla scene to feel more suited for "Barney goes back to his roots" but Minilla makes a good dramatic focus for the film. "Son of Godzilla" reveals another side of Godzilla, that of a parent. This concept seems to hold some favor with the Japanese, as it is repeated through several other films.  "Spiga owns all"I used to watch this movie as a kid, and when that spider(spiga) came out of the ground, I was in total awe of him. He is one of the coolest monsters in the earlier Godzilla series and was only be defeated due to the combined force of 'G' and Minya. This movie has a real centimental value as the viewers see Godzilla's more fatherly or loving side contrasted by his brute strength and Power and he fries some giant mantises. To sum up, for any true Godzilla fan, this is definitely a MUST SEE!  "my favorite godzilla film"i agree with the reviewer who said this film is NOT science fiction. i saw it when i was twelve, and i found it quite hilarious. however, im ashamed that not one reviewer mention the musical score, which is, quite frankly, awesome. i'm not kidding. i actually have it. it really sticks in your head. if you want a really good song that does a wonderful homage to the son of godzilla theme, look up 'son of godzilla,' by japanese dj yasuharu konishi -- it's off his 'destroy the monsters' CD. the song is incredible -- three minutes of buildup with a layered portuguese narration and four minutes of that son of godzilla battle theme given a nice selection of beats. or something. man, i wish this was on DVD.  "ALright I guess"This movie is focuing towards a harm hearted godzilla.This the movie introdue minya the retarded son of godzilla who blows smokes instead of a fire blast or sort.Mainly it focus on the minya and his adventures running off but really the end its pretty cool when they team up and destroy Kumonga ( a Big Oh Spider). |
