Ryan Jul 14 A perfect old school campy movie with the most incredible special effects. Loved it! See more Khaliel P Aug 19 Godzilla vs. Hedorah (1971) stands out as one of the franchise’s most unique entries, blending ecological allegory with psychedelic 70s experimentation. Inspired by Japan’s pollution crisis, director Yoshimitsu Banno introduces Hedorah, a toxic monster born from human waste, to face off against a darker, more strategic Godzilla. Despite odd diversions—animated interludes, a Bond-like theme song, and even Godzilla briefly flying—the film’s inventive battles and grim atmosphere give it surprising weight. Though producer Tomoyuki Tanaka condemned the result and ended Banno’s career, the movie remains a bizarre yet compelling gem that revitalized the series and anticipated the Monsterverse decades later.

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.

See more 09/16/2024 (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. See more Read all reviews
