jacobjohntaylor1 This is the 12th M.o.t.h.r.a movie. It is also part 25 to the Japan Godzilla series. It is not the best Godzilla movie. The first remake from 1998 is better. This is the second best Godzilla movie. Maybe you do not agree. Maybe you think that this it better then the Godzilla (1998). You can think that that is o.k. But if your mad about it you deed to grow up pooh pooh heads. This is a great movie. Great story line. Great special effects. See it. It is scary. Great movie great movie great movie great movie. See it see it see see it. All the M.o.t.h.r.a movie are awesome see all of them. Most of the Godzilla movie are pretty cool to.

SnakesOnAnAfricanPlain Godzilla is a horrible little bastard in this movie. He is truly badass. For once, he has no redemption, to the point that previous alien controlled villains are now guardians of the earth. This film grabs the human element by taking a father and daughter as an army captain and a TV reporter. The effects here are just fantastic. All the puppets, suits, CGI looks great, and we get more Godzilla/Human interaction than ever. I loved the shot where Godzilla arrives and throws a boat into the air, only for it to fall straight down onto the camera again. We get some exceptional long takes of cityscapes. It's fascinating to see so many monsters beat each other in what looks like a real city. These Godzilla movies also have the confidence to just let it play out rather than making me sick with constant edits. With a subtitle of Giant Monsters All Out Attack, you know this is gonna be good. Just a shame that Mothra and Ghidorah were slightly out of character.

jimsamx Finally!!! Toho Studios redeemed themselves for all the cheesy and low budget Godzilla films they have made (and for the not-so-good, Godzilla 2000 film)! Godzilla, thanks to director Kaneko, returns to his original roots as mankind's greatest nightmare, following the events of the original movie and discarding all the others.I hope Godzilla fans will forgive my comment (I 'm also a Godzilla fan) but it was about time that a movie which we can be proud of is finally here! What is really amazing is that it's plot is actually very well-written, with some amazingly clever twists (the way they finally destroy Godzilla is probably one of the greatest ideas in a Kaiju film!) the story actually makes sense, the actors (even the...extras) are amazingly... amazing in their roles, they are characters that you can care for them.In this movie we don't see neither silly kids, no aliens, no crazy scientists or anything else that was - unfortunately - the cheesy formula for many years in Godzilla Films. The directing is superb with some shots never before seen in such a film.Need to say anything about the music? Just think that I don't really like electronic music and I LOVED the soundtrack which is full of that kind of music! Of course there is also some orchestrated pieces, from the great Akira Ifukube (R.I.P 1914 - 2006) in the right places.And now... for the parts that made some of the fans "hate" the movie.OK, Godzilla is REALLY different in this movie, he is portrayed totally unsympathetic... a psychotic killing machine with a twisted soul... and that's what he really is! I never liked the happy - campy Godzilla who finishes his opponents with karate chops, or the "poor nuclear victim of radiation" scenario. The victims are ourselves and Godzilla is our punishment.Another thing is King Ghidorah. I really didn't know how to feel about the ultimate villain in the series to become one of earth's guardians but once you see the whole movie and how the story progresses and deals with this matter you will probably forget all previous Ghidorahs and pray for him to finally kill that bastard Godzilla.Yeap. That's how you're gonna feel about Godzilla in this movie. You will truly want him to finally die!There are so many more things I can say about it but I don't want to spoil too much because it's better to go see it and discover the magic of this movie. You will collect your jaw from the floor once the end credits roll.Sometimes I wish there was a sequel to it (the ending scene is quite promising) but maybe it's better to leave it as it is, it's too difficult to come up with something of equal quality in the story department.Godzilla sequels have that tendency to add aliens, and other weird story lines... (a robot made of Godzilla's bones? Ghidorah destroyed Venus? Xilians? Monster Islands? Godzilla Junior!!?)I am not saying the old movies are complete rubbish... but they cannot stand next to the original and it's legacy.The most original and beautifully made Godzilla movie in the last 50 years, "Godzilla, Mothra and king Ghidorah Giant Monsters All - Out Attack" is what I consider the true and only sequel to Ishiro Honda's Godzilla (the 1954 masterpiece)!It's only big flaw: That big bad title!!!

winner55 The rap among Big-G. fans is that this is - as one reviewer put it - "the best of the best". And after reading about the historical-spiritual content of the plot, I really had high hopes for it.But I was disappointed. Because my hopes were so high, my disappointment may be clouding my judgment; but the problem is simple: at the beginning of the film, there's a great to-do made about Godzilla representing the souls of those slain in WWII, and also a subplot initiated, about Mothra, Ghidorah and Baragon being mythic protectors of Japan.But, ultimately, not much of this is used to tie up any of the narrative threads; and the issues get more confused as the film progresses and it becomes unclear whether the problem of the past is what actually happened, or whether it is simply that the government was dishonest about it.The issues do introduce the monsters and get them into battle. And then, at the end of each battle - especially the last - the mythic element is brought back into play to account for some highly impressive special effects. This is no doubt the most sophisticated special effects display we've seen in any Godzilla movie, and it is way better than the trashy cgi show of the American Godzilla rip-off of '98.I like the special effects, and it's always a pleasure to see the Big Green Guy (looking nastier in this movie than he ever has) knock down a few buildings and kick monster butt. I also appreciate the humor, e.g., the "Blair Witch" parody. The acting is very effective all around, and the direction is above par for the series. Still, really, this film has a tad less "spiritual" clout than "Godzilla vs. Mothra" - and I'm referring to the 1960s version (AKA "vs. the Thing"). Partly this is because the story seems to be struggling for a compromise: the stupidities of the past are counter-balanced with the social stupidities of the present - many of the victims of the monster mêlée suffer because they wander into the battle zone like tourists, unable to comprehend the destructive forces around them. The point is well taken; but it's unclear what the long range consequences of this might be. None of the loose ends are tied up - not even the meaning of Godzilla's ever-beating heart (which we know, from countless other films, is actually a nuclear reactor).And just as a side note, I REALLY object to Ghidorah being portrayed as a "good" monster - the beast is utterly brainless, that's what makes watching Big G. slap him around so much fun.I just feel that more effort was needed on the story, even if at the expense of the special effects.
