 "great G movie but why isn't it on DVD"Great movie. A key movie in the 90's Godzilla seris. But why isn't it on DVD ? "Godzilla + Rodan + Mechagodzilla = awesome!"I've been a G-fan for quite a while, and when I heard that MG was back, I went beserk, and bought this movie. Anyway, this is a great movie for any Godzilla fan. It connects with Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah (1991 version) with Mechagodzilla being built out of parts of MechaGhidorah that are found in the ocean. This being said, this movie should have been released in 1992 instead of Godzilla vs. Mothra: The battle for Earth. The previous film, which was more of a movie for girls, has been rewritten with MechaGodzilla, which is more of a film for young boys. (Who doesn't like a giant robot at the age of 6 or 7?) There is more graphic violence in this film (Rodan, or Radon, frothing and trying to breath as Godzilla slowly chokes him to death) so some kids might want to watch out. One of the main reasons I bought this film is because Rodan, or Radon, is back! To bad Anguiris doesn't show up until much later. A definite choice for those who like action, or just General Godzilla fans! "AWESOME Godzilla film"This one ranks in the top 3 Godzilla movies. G is in most of it, he adopts a baby, Rodan joins in the fun. Nonstop action. Great job all around. A must have!  "Sort of middle of the road."Saturday, February 12, 2005 / 3 of 5 / Sort of middle of the road. We're getting close to having the full Godzilla collection on DVD, with this release only Biollante and Godzilla Raids again are left to release. Studying Mecha-King Ghidorah technology scientists craft the original Mecha-Godzilla, and once put into action it really clobbers Godzilla. As usual though, it breaks down and all he has to do is knock it over. This film also introduces Baby Godzilla and secondarily Rodan who seems content to tag along for the action. I thought the effects weren't quite up to some of the later in the series and even those from the prior couple Hisei movies. The back story wasn't too compelling either, following a Pteranadon loving pilot who labored on the failed Garuda project and now makes eyes at Baby's babysitter. Still for completeists sake it was a nice Godzilla romp. "very good godzilla film....medeocre dvd release"I just checked out the long awaited release of GODZILLA vs MECHA GODZILLA dvd. It is , after the last few DVD releases of Godzilla films, a dissapointment. No extras of note other than the trailers that we have on the other DVDs. The sound is a muffled surround 2.0...not a 5.1 mix. The print is grainy and marked with dirt and specks, the picture is not mastered for true progressive scan. And the end credits are cut off.. At least it does have the original soundtrack, with optional subtitles. I have the DVD release from Japan. Vastly better pic and 5.1 sound. oh well...I got it for free, and my nephews will love it, so I will keep my impoprt and give this one to them. So the scorcard on Heisie films on dvd in the U.S. reads 2 missing ..G 84 and Biollante 2 Disasters..G vs Ghidorah and G vs Mothra..both mono and cropped 3 just fair releases. Mecha Godzilla, Space Godzilla and Destroyer... BTW...another reviewer has made some comments in error about the widescreen prints. All the Heisie films were done in 35mm with a MATTED widescreen. While this is NOT an anamorphic 2:35 widescreen (more like 1:85) it IS cropped on the full screen prints of both Godzilla vs Mothra and Godzilla vs Ghidorah. You would lose aprox 15% of the image. And the DVD image of this film DOES have more grain and mors scratches than the region 2 DVD, and without the remastered 5.1 surround Ahh well... :( |
