 "Mechagodzilla"Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla was an awesome movie I loved it when godzilla used his new red spiral atomic ray to blow Super-Mechagodzilla to pieces and I think that mechagodzilla should have appeared more often in the movie. "Without a doubt, the best of the Heisei series!"This was the last of the Heisei movies that I had yet to see. It was worth the wait! Director Takao Okawara does a superb job, wringing all the drama he can from each scene. In fact, some of his directing style is reminiscent of a certain guy named Speilberg. Godzilla is in virtually the entire movie, which was a big plus to me. Seeing the return of Rodan and MechaGodzilla as the powerful foe for this movie was wonderful, as well. The special effects, fight scenes, and action are all the best Heisei has to offer. Non-Godzilla fans can watch and enjoy this film. That's how good I think it is. "G vs. Destroyer" was the best until I saw this one. This one is truly the best! "The best Godzilla ever!"I'll examine this movie part by part. -The script. For once, a Godzilla movie with a plot! This served as a very nice way to re-introduce us to some old friends. -The SFX. Even better then in "Godzilla vs. Destoroyah." Godzilla's ray, Rodan's flight, MechaGodzilla's arsenal... You can't top these. -The monsters. Aside from the Big G himself, we have his cybernetic duplicate, his possible offspring, and a huge, mutated pteranadon named Rodan, my favorite monster of all time. -The actors. Not as much horrible over-acting as we usually get in Godzilla movies. This scores high in every category! -Thanos6 "The Best of the Hensei Godzilla Series!"This film has long languished in the "grey market" of bootlegs for years and is now finally availabe in the American video retail market. Die hard Godzilla fans (such as myself) may groan about the pan'n'scan and the English dubbing, however Tri-Star/Columbia Home Video corrected one major mistake they made with their previous releases of "G vs King Ghidora" and "G vs Mothra" by releasing this film in SP mode as opposed to EP. The film features surround sound and a beautiful print. And, to be honest, I don't mind seeing a full screen version of this film. It's interesting to note that this film was intended to be the LAST film for The Big G as he was literally killed in the final battle, but a last minute decision to bring him back from the dead (thanks to Rodan) kept the series going for two more years. From the opening scene with the wreckage of the Mecha-King Ghidora to the final battle with Mecha Godzilla, this film is wonderful and will impress ANY and ALL "non-believers." "One of the best"As good as I'd thought it would be.It seems nothing can stop BIG G which is fine with me. Rodan kicked butt and there was some funny scenes also.I have every G movie and I would say this one is right behind the new Godzilla vs Gidorah. |
