The Japanese dinosaur wakes up and swims toward Tokyo, leaving a wake of nuclear destruction.

Roger Ebert

Chicago Sun-Times

The fatal flaw in Godzilla 1985 is that it is a bad movie with aspirations of being a good bad movie.

Rated: 1/4

Godzilla 1985 is one helluva frankensteined relic.

Godzilla is also the nominal villain once again, setting up a streak of moral ambiguity that would inform the series from this point forward.
