James R Although not as good as the original, this film is still an entertaining one with a new message in the Godzilla franchise. While the last few movies had been meant primarily for entertainment and not as strong as the first, this one has a message, which, like the message of the original film, is still relevant today: The effects of pollution. They try to stop Hedorah before it is too late, much like we should be doing with pollution. So, once more, as this film isn't as well written as the original (and this one is a lot more goofy), it is still a good film with something to say. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/27/25 Full Review Billy R GvH is easily the most imaginative Godzilla film, and introduces the most relevant and underutilised villain in the franchise. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/02/25 Full Review Audience Member (SPOILERS) Classic story of Godzilla vs humans, but not in the normal way. This movie highlights the fight between humans and the pollution that we cause. Godzilla was made by accident because of humanities hubris, and Hedora the sludge monster was made by humans as a byproduct of our life styles. The story mainly focuses on a small family, in which the father is a marine biologist and scientist, a small child who loves Godzilla and has a form of telepathy (no explanation), his mother who is a teacher, and her brother who is only seen as a "Hippie". The movies plot tends to fly by with new main character coming into the picture with little to no explanation as to who or why their important but that is nothing new to Godzilla films. Zero explanation on the Despite this, the plot does come forward easily and understandably. There are clever animated scenes that highlight the problem with human pollution and fit well into the story. The music is playful at times and gives a humor that can only be delivered by the classic 70's Godzilla movies. Originally a 4 star movie review, it was made into a 5 for the final fight between Godzilla and Hedora. It was comical, intense and it seemed to go on forever but in a 3 stooges kind of way. Swapping lick for lick and eye for eye, Godzilla rips out Hedora's power source (its eyes) and destroys them, then smashes the body only for Hedora to escape in a flying form. It doesn't end there as Godzilla makes his flying pose and uses his atomic breath to rocket itself towards Hedora. This time Godzilla absolutely demolishes Hedora and in a temper tantrum begins ripping out its "sludge organs" and throwing them around. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/16/24 Full Review Audience Member WEIRD AS ALL HELL. But actually really good. Its a good commentary on global warming and pollution. And Hedorah is hella amazing and underated. His stages are so cool. Not a popular option. But I love it. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/03/24 Full Review josh d Pretty weird, even for a Godzilla movie. But there are some good elements to it. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/09/24 Full Review Justin T This started with a lot of promise. The new monster is pretty cool and it has different evolution stages which also makes it more interesting. There are some truly bizarre moments too. There isn’t that much exciting monster action though, the second half of the movie is really slow and repetitive. It’s just not as entertaining Destroy All Monsters (1968) by a long shot. There isn’t enough city smashing and the second half is boring. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 05/23/24 Full Review Read all reviews
