Eric Stevenson Godzilla is literally the longest running film series in history, so it's hard not to see so many movies and treat them like long episodes of a TV show. Hey, it worked for "Mystery Science Theater 3000"! All the Godzilla movies feature either him destroying a city or him fighting another monster and this film goes the extra mile by having both occur! What's better is that we get to see the most frequently appearing human character in the entire Godzilla franchise, Miki Saegusa. She has a psychic link with Godzilla. As the franchise is known for its monsters, it's quite unique for a human character to be important.We get great setup to the creature Biollante and in a lot of the movie and we even get great action scenes from the actual human characters, especially when Biollante's vines are attacking people in the beginning. It seems pretty lame for Godzilla to fight a giant plant, but it certainly gets better. There's actually two huge fights between these two characters. In the second one, Biollante takes on a much cooler and more crocodile like form. At the very end, Godzilla is still alive, but decides to stop attacking. It's really a good story that should please all fans. ***

jacobjohntaylor1 The best Godzilla movie is Godzilla 1998. Maybe you don't think so that's o.k. But if you are mad about it grow up you pooh pooh heads. This is a very good movie. It is the 17th Godzilla movie. It is not as good as the 11th Godzilla movie. Godzilla vs the smog monster. The the 16th Godzilla movie Godzilla 1985 or Return of Godzilla. The 22nd Godzilla movie Godzilla vs Destroyer is also better. But still a very good movie. A very entertaining monster movie. See it. Part 23 to the Japan series Godzilla vs M.e.g..a.g.u.i.r.u.s is also better. Part 25 to the Japan series Godzilla M.o.t.h.r.a and King G.h.i.d.o.r.a.h giant monsters on an all out attack is also better. The 8th Godzilla movie Son of Godzilla is also better. But still it is very good movie. See it.

Leofwine_draca There's rubbery mayhem a-plenty in this 1989 addition to the Godzilla series, which casts a newly-reborn Godzilla as the menace and the genetically-engineered super-plant, Biollante, as the heroine of sorts. It's an episodic film whose plot meanders all over the place, drawing together the usual army-vs-massive-monster action, mucho destruction, lots of cool special effects and a sub-plot involving bio-engineering, loss and evil foreign agents.Despite the overload of plot, GODZILLA VS. BIOLLANTE fails to be one of my series favourites, purely because it feels dragged out to a degree. There's never quite as much destructive mayhem as you hope to see, and some of the sub-plots involving the human characters are pretty dull. The whole making-up of a Middle Eastern country to supply some human menace is nothing more than a piece of xenophobic propaganda. Not that I have a problem with that, but the action is pretty dull as it stands.Thankfully, the good news is that Godzilla himself is at his vindictive best, stomping all over Osaka in his bid to destroy mankind. However, Biollante is a rather unwieldy menace and it must have been tough to animate this giant, tentacled plant, so there's a slight lack of monster action limited to just a couple of titanic showdowns. Despite the progression in FX technology I just didn't enjoy this movie as much as the brighter, more colourful '60s Godzilla flicks.

DustinRahksi What? a Godzilla movie on Blu-ray, well about time. Well of course destroy all monsters came out on Blu-ray, but was discontinued. I would love it if they re-released all the films on Blu-ray, that would be a dream come true.Blu-ray disc: The picture quality is much better, but I can only compare it to my VHS tape. Whats one thing that Godzilla movies have a lot of, explosions. What does Blu-ray enhance, explosions. Well unfortunately the sound wasn't on par with most films, what I mean by that is, the explosions lacked base, and there for didn't rattle the walls. That was my only complaint. And for the first time I actually get to watch how one of these films is made, it includes a behind the scenes bonus feature. The MPAA rating in the opening states that there is the usual Godzilla violence, I thought that was funny.The film: This film is a big leap forward for the series. The action scenes look great, and the special effects are outstanding. The final form of Biollante looks incredible. Some of the musical scores are great too. Take note this film is actually pretty violent, lots of blood spraying, and there is more swearing than usual, man there's even a sexual reference at the end. Not really PG material, but oh well.Overall it's pretty entertaining, with the fight scenes being the highlights. Although Biollante served a small part, it's still worth watching.
