Good Cheesy Fun
Ok, first of all, this movie came out back in 1989-1990 so this movie is about 23 years old, and at the time the special effects were some of the best seen on screen, so its understandable that by today's standards this movie is lame. But special effects aside this movie was made very well, it has a very interesting story, and of course it has the Big Guy himself facing off one of his most unusual opponents. Fans of the series will find that this is character Miki Saegusa's first appearance in a Godzilla movie, and that this movie is a sequel to 1985's Return of Godzilla. Overall this movie is great cheesy fun, to be honest Godzilla movies tend to have many underlying environmental messages, but you don't watch a Godzilla movie just for that, you watch it to see the Big Guy stomp around and destroy stuff with his tail and sets things on fire with his bad breath. The picture, and sound quality is very good despite the films age, the English translation is not perfect but this is expected in most Godzilla films, especially the older ones, you cant go wrong with either version you buy, its the same great movie.
This first followup to the 80s and 90s Godzilla movie series (which began with Godzilla 1985, a direct sequel to the original 1954 film), is a good one. It explores the more biological aspect of Godzilla with "Biolante," a monstrous plant hybridized from the cells of Godzilla. The science-fiction aspect adds some depth to the franchise which in previous films had turned campy.
