In this good follow-up to _Godzilla vs. Mothra_, the mighty lizard is presented as a hero -- albeit a reluctant one -- for the first time. Solid effects work and a surprisingly complex plot make this one of the best of the Toho monster epics.

"Even with a deliberately lighter tone being enforced, this Godzilla film cannot help but lend itself to anti-technology warnings of the implicit kind." - Rob Humanick

Very good monster movie.

Best Godzilla movie.

My score is based on the Japanese cut, but I hear that the American cut is actually more entertaining.

Fantastic! The completely over-the-top third act is what puts this film up in tier 8; Mothra still in caterpillar form trying to persuade Godzilla and Rodan (who are in the midst of a comic battle) to join up and fight Ghidorah together. It's all quite brilliant, plot holes aside. Ghidorah really wreaks havoc upon Japan before the final battle!

One of the best of the 60s Godzilla films- an elaborate and colorful fantasy that, for all its silliness, is never less than entertaining.

What's not to like???
