Green aesop
This was the attempt of the Godzilla franchise to do a movie with an environmentally friendly message. For the most part, these messages don’t go over too well as many people find them too sappy and clichéd. This movie itself is okay, mostly because it has a lot of strengths and weaknesses. For example, I actually did kind of get the feel of the original 1954 film when it talked about all the dead people. This film was apparently rated G. Wow, cities being destroyed in a G-rated film. Nowadays, given the exact same content, this would undoubtedly be rated PG-13. Anyway, the effects are pretty good.

The main weakness of the film comes in the final battle. Godzilla actually uses his radioactive breath to float. They would later reuse this sort of thing in “Godzilla Vs. Megalon”, a far sillier film with a far sillier way of doing it. The humans build a machine to weaken Hedorah and while I do like the idea of them helping to defeat the monster, it does seem off place. I think it’s at this point we can safely say that Godzilla became a good guy. It was first really established in “Ghidorah The Three Headed Monster”. **1/2

The 70s Were Crazy Times
7.8 B- I don’t know if I should call this movie refreshing, disturbing, a work of diamond-in-the-rough art, or simply a film to watch if you’re on something. Something very strong I might add. Perhaps it’s all of those wrapped in a messy yet effortful presentation. Some look at the rating I gave it and probably remark, “Is he high?” No, I am not. Compared to the MechaGodzilla films of the 70s era, this movie remarkable holds its own. Although I will never say it really surpassed the epic “Terror of MechaGodzilla” by far.

First off, let me say this, Sony is over-childizing the marketing on these DVDs. Films like this, along with “Godzilla vs. MechaGodzilla II” (with all its blood and coarse language), are far from a PG rating. This film is remarkably dark on both ends: (1) we see many disturbing shots, like crowds of people killed at once by inhaling sulfuric mist, leading to complete skeletazation later, (2) A shot of bodies half submerged in Hedorah’s goop, (3) The main scientist has his face badly malformed by acid very early in the film. I wouldn’t recommend to the too young of viewers.

Now the monster battles here aren’t necessarily the best, but very interesting to say the least. Watching Godzilla punch holes in Hedorah seems only natural, but Godzilla takes a beating. He loses an eye, gets burned several times by acid and lasers, and (look closely) has one hand eaten down to the bone by the climax. It’s pretty decent. Hedorah himself (itself??) is an interesting monster with all the forms and I like the design really. Even the odd shriek. Godzilla flying was a f*cking no-go, but Banno had no choice to add it in. Camp level is moderate but not unbearable in the Monster King’s movements.

The message in this movie is obvious, don’t pollute the damn Earth people! There are some great shots of a heavily polluted ocean that are quite nice and fit the gloomy mood of the film. The little anime sequences are somewhat fun to watch but yeah a tad unnecessary. Got to love the movie for that scene where one of our main characters must be drunk and on LSD (yet another reason why this is not a PG flick) and then sees everyone wherein polluted fish mask. How unexpected for a G-film, but I like it. It strangely fits in actually. One reason I have to rate it down is because of a butchered sound track. The theme song would’ve been nice to hear once, MAYBE twice, but otherwise…it gets a tad annoying. Godzilla’s theme was far from forgettable, but not in the good way. Over all the score is probably the weakest aspect of the film.

Characterization…I believe the cast was all right and got the job done. Not enough about them really. I just haste that annoying little kid, “Papa! Papa! Papa!”, then he says it twenty more times. Sony always delivers crappy dubbing, stick to the Japanese track. So, all in all, I give this film a decent rating. All those rating six and lower are too hard on the film. Appreciate it as a different type of G-film and a memorable trip back to the 70s.
