Gojira vs. Supesugojira

While this has been the best looking Godzilla movie I have seen, it was also the most confusing.It seems like things get lost in translation because there is so much stuff that doesn't make any sense.Even though they explain how a Space Godzilla was created, their explanation raises more questions than it answers.Some people want to use telepathy to control Godzilla so they make a telepathy amplifier to attach to him.But there's some guy on an island who is planning to kill Godzilla when two other guys show up.They never explain who any of them are and lots of stupid things happen.At one point the two guys are on a dirt bike and catch a tiny whiff of tear gas which makes them dump the bike.It's too cheesy, even for a Godzilla movie.Plus there's some Mothra and Little Godzilla stuff that is even cheesier and it has nothing to do with the story.Even though nothing about this movie makes any sense, it's still better than most Godzilla flicks.One of the best of the series.

Gojira vs. Supesugojira (Godzilla vs. SpaceGodzilla) is directed by Kenshô Yamashita and written by Kanji Kashiwa, Hiroshi Kashiwabara and Shinichirô Kobayashi. It stars Megumi Odaka, Jun Hashizume, Zenkichi Yoneyama and Akira Emoto. Music is by Takayuki Hattori and cinematography by Masahiro Kishimoto.

Godzilla faces two new foes, Mogera - a UN built giant robotic machine, and Space Godzilla - a beast spawned from Godzilla's particles in space...

Oh how nutty it is, here we have part of what is known as the Heisei period of "Zilla" movies, and it's utterly bonkers. Is it meant to be a comedy, serious, thrown together quickly to make some money? Who knows? Who cares? Very divisive in Godzilla fan circles (totally understandable), pic throws a number of action series staples at the piece, slots in Godzilla's kid (a goofy looking Godzuki monstrosity), and pitches the moody big lizard against two foes that creates ultimate fire and destruction mayhem.

Godzilla stomps the city of course, all while trying to keep out the telekinetic skills of the yummy Miki Saegusa (Odaka). There's some truly great matte shots in the mix, mad science, a nifty score that the likes of Williams and Barry wouldn't be ashamed of, and a traditional laser show of a finale smackdown. It's not great, in fact it's pretty dumb and maybe even lazy, but there is merit here for entertainment purpose. So strap yourself in, leave the brain at the door and enjoy the colourful carnage, it's trippy man! 6/10

This Godzilla movie was a vast improvement over its previous version "Godzilla vs Mecha Godzilla II". I liked the plot, and I especially liked the fact that new monster worthy of Godzilla was introduced here instead of old monsters (especially Mothra and King Gidorah) being recycled into its plot. Cinematography was good, and the way Godzilla was depicted in this movie had freshness to it with Godzilla shown in a scene with actually existing landscapes like Mt. Aso in Kyushu.

The actors were mostly all new to this movie, and they were better actors than those in the earlier series. If there's one actor that I don't understand why she's in it is Megumi Odaka(Miki Saegusa). She has no expression, and just stands there and talks the dialog, and she's in every single Godzilla movie made in the '90s. The actor I liked the most was Dr. Gondo. The plot is that her brother was killed by Godzilla. Toho should work more on casting with these movies. They could easily bring up the quality of production couple of notches (as '90s Gamera series proved with rented talent from Toho doing special effects and directing).

Don't expect a star wars. With these films you never do and never should. Just like most of the godzilla films this one too is campy cheesy entertainment. Earlier i was very critical about the film. But watching it again i realized it was fun and not to be judged too harshly. In fact it is an underrated movie. Even among godzilla fan circles. This film is nonstop entertainment from beginning to end full of monster action and special effects which we Kaiju fans love to see. It has one of the best destruction scenes of all G films and Space godzilla is one hell of a monster. If you are a Godzilla fan, add it to your collection now.

This is Gojira's 40th anniversary movie. What a strange concoction this one is.

While SpaceGodzilla, who admittedly looks evil and can do evil things, seems a little out of place. I'm not too sure about his powers of flight. He's at his most bastard self when he attacks the more or less defenceless LittleGodzilla.

Little Gojira is a bit odd too. It looks nothing like Baby from "Gojira vs Mekagojira II". But, to its credit, it acts like a young one would. It's playful, it can wander into dangerous situations and it can call out for its parent.

MOGERA is an oddity too. How it could be classed a "sucessor" to the all-powerful MechaG from the previous movie is beyond me (or possibly any G-fan). It's kinda more like the B-squad of mechas. However, I do like its ability to transform into two vehicles. Actually, I prefer it like that.

I'm got going to mention much about Godzilla, except why, for most of the film, his atomic breath is blue? As we all know it turned red thanks to Rodan's self-sacrifice, but why is it not red all the time?

As per usual, the human cast don't have much going for them. I'm starting to dislike Miki Saegusa now. She keeps blabbing on about "Godzilla's rights", but as per usual, she gets led into the plan anyway. I'm not too sure about the guy in charge of the T-project (the one with the long face who smirks to himself a lot). He's kinda like a Japanese Snidely Whiplash.
