A case study of what a Godzilla flick should be
This is one of the best of the Heisei movies. Unfortunately thats not saying a lot, but this one really is worth every minute. The 'suitmation' is excellent; from the city rampages to the landscape fights on infant island. The models are well made and the destruction is complete. Godzilla is cool as always, Moguera is OK. I'm personally a bit tired of giant robots, and mecha versions of monsters, but on the other hand it's nice to see the humans playing along with the big boys ;) Spacegodzilla on the other hand is a bit of a let down. hard to imagine when he's basically a Godzilla clone huh? But those two crystals on its shoulders looks like two enormous pimples. How about giving it a crystal ridge down its back to resemble Godzilla's fins?!? Now that would have been cool. He's a worthy opponent none the less.And now for the cheese. There's plenty of bad acting and crazy characters in this one, ridiculous one-liners and if you have the dubbed version, that just add to the fun. Also plot holes are a plenty. Like the explanation on Spacegodzilla's birth. G-cells released by Biollante when it dissolved and went into space and floated around and went through a black hole. If the cells could float around in space and reach a black hole within 4 years, the earth would be in a whole lot more danger than what the intergalactic Godzilla wannabe presented.
A worthy installment in the Godzilla saga.
score 7/10
