Plenty of funny B-movie moments and one earnestly spine-chilling moment, but so much boring filler in between. Such a shame, cause Biollante is one of the best Godzilla monsters ever!

The costume work is better than in any Godzilla film that came before. For the first time, close ups of the creatures enhance the effects rather than reveal the obviousness of the latex and puppetry. Both Godzilla and Biollante look fantastic, oozing with gooey, slimy realism. And the fights are spectacular. I sure do wish we saw more of Biollante though. The plot is bonkers, and that's a good thing. These films are at their best when the filmmakers are free to let their imaginations soar.

Whoa there is a lot going on in this film. Corporate espionage, psychic children, scientists creating life, super x2, and some crazy monster battles. Overall I thought that this was a really cool film. The battles were pretty awesome but I wish there was more Biollante fights. It's such a cool design and made for some neat battles. Definitely recommended for fans of the series and possibly worth showing to non-kaiju lovers.

After a relatively serious return to business, this next installment adds psychic schoolgirls, scientists playin' god and a behemoth Godzillaflower that spits acid and runs on Girl Power. Despite all this, it's still kinda underwhelming and offers few surprises. At first I was all like 'damnit Biollante, you're useless and also you look dumb' but then later I was all like 'damnit Biollante, you're useless but at least you look kinda cool'.

G gets maimed and it's totally gnarly but man the badass lookin Biollante is sorely underused, the psychic girls are way underused, and there's only a splash of Ifukube. Basically there's a whole lot of the military vs Godzilla stuff and a ridiculous sideplot about a briefcase with drugs...or guns, or files, or something. I don't know. There's better Godzilla movies.

Big improvement over "Return of Godzilla". Fight the flower! Would have been even better if they'd managed to license Bette Midler's "The Rose" for the end credits.

'80s! Good music, great monster design, but was somewhat disappointing anyway. I liked the build-up and the bad guy's end more than the monster scenes really.

The pitch alone! 'So lets have Gojira fight a gigantic foe that is part flower, part Gojira himself and part the SOUL of a little girl!' Faced with this madness I'm really at a loss. Does this mean I shouldn't ever visit Japan, or sell everything I own tomorrow and just go live there forever? I just don't know anymore. Things I learned from this movie: Nothing.

biollante is a disgusting beast! my 2nd favorite godzilla monster. the plot is cheesy but holds up well relative to other kaiju flicks. just wish the movie had a longer final battle.

One of the better films of the Heisei series, Biollante is an awe-inspiring opponent, truly beautiful in all its mutated grotesqueness. The final confrontation is spectacular and the score is the pretty good despite it not being Ifukube.

Not as good as some of the others, but still WAY better than the American version which should just be left alone to rot. And why the 1981 release date? I thought was it was released in the late 80's AFTER Godzilla 1985

Yes, the other monster in this one really is a mutated rosebush. But that kind of cornball stuff is what we always liked about these movies. Your usual classic Godzilla movie, IOW, and with better FX this time
