DVD Reviews of Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah - Giant Monsters All-Out Attack
DVD Review: The best G-Movie I've ever seen!
Summary: 5 Stars
Okay, to get this reveiw started I'd like to introduce Godzilla to any one who thinks that he's a cheesy and outdated movie king. The only Godzilla those people have seen is the one used in crapy comercials and TV shows. "Godzilla vs the Comit." For example showed strings all over the place and tiny match flames for the fires. My GOD! and people I know thought that was a real Godzilla movie! Godzilla Mothra and King Ghidorah is a real Godzilla movie! Also, if someone says that dinosaurs aren't suppose to stand upright here's me response "Many movies break the laws of nature but you go and critisize Godzilla for no reason." So if you haven't seen a Godzilla movie don't you dare go around and say that you can see strings everywhere and that CGI is better then suits. Strings are hardly ever visible in the Japanese versions. When I was a kid, I could always tell what was CGI and what wasn't. But whith Godzilla, I never thought of a way to make him look fake because he didn't look fake.
Anyways, GMK is my personally most favorite movie (Not Godzilla movie, movie.) The suits were very realistic once again. The CGI used was okay (I could always tell when they were using CGI.) The special effects were extremely good which is why I recomend this movie to get someone into Godzilla. In todays world, everyone goes by special effects which are getting outrageously too realistic. But what I like about GMK is that when an explosion comes on screen I can't tell if it's a real explosion or a CGI one. The highlight of this movie for me was the battle scenes. They weren't those kind of Godzilla battles where you watch it once and get tired of it. These battles I still am not tired of. And they look so realistic, and they use mostly suits! About the suits, most of them were done pretty well. Baragon's suit was awesome! His movements were really well done. Also, Mothra was preobably the best suit. even though I hate Mothra on personal reasons I still had to give her the cake. For the first time she actually flaps her wings fast, though it hasn't bothered me until I saw this movie and got use to her flapping quickly. Mothra's design was also a step forward. Her small changes actually made me more fond of her. The new wasp-like apearence such as her abdomen curled forward and something that looked like a stinger. Godzilla's suit, one of my favorites. His new head was the best thing I could hope for to make Godzilla look dark and evil. His eyes are white giving him an almost zombie-like apearence. I loved how he would curl up his lip when he was angry and show his gums. The problem I had with Godzilla was his giant beer belly. Everything else was great. King Ghidorah was a mayjor disapointment. Those his lightning rays looked more leathel then ever he still had a few mayjor problems. His three heads were way too short and for the first time in history he wasn't larger then Godzilla which made him look kind of cowardly next to the cold eyes god of monsters. His wings looked more like yellow paper bags hanging from his back. Until they were unfolded and flapping through the air did they look good, but they were still kind of small. This movie also has some of the best character development of a Godzilla movie I've ever seen! One thing I had with the humans was their mouths and the English dialog (again.) But, that isn't Toho's fault, that is Tristar's for being such idiots and making it seem like Japanese people can't move their mouths to the words they're saying. I also liked a cool addition that would make Godzilla movies look a lot better. In GMK, when Godzilla's heat ray hits the ground or a battleship the camera will shake giving you even more feel on how powerful Godzilla is. Oh, Godzilla's trademark heat ray was very good in this movie. Unlike previouse films where he'll use it every second, GMK Goji only uses it for those special death scenes and god does it look like the other monster is going through a mayjor beating. In one scene Godzilla even causes a mushroom cloud with his heat ray. I take my hat off and bow to those poor people he fried.
The music used in this movie, is very odd. It was a risky choise doing the kind of music used in the music since it had a lot of chorus and singing, something not normal to a Godzilla movie. It wasn't a bit like the normal Godzilla theme which isn't even in the movie until the ending credits but the music to me was great!
Last, I'd like to say that Godzilla finally got something in the Millennium Era that I bow to. G2k was okay but the battles and characters were dull. Tristar's GXM was horrible. I think they purposly lit the picture up so you could see the strings. GXMG was just boring after watching two times. GMMG or GSOS took way to long to finash the battle which wasn't very intense. Maybe Godzilla Final Wars will be like GMK. So far, It looks that way.
Description of Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah - Giant Monsters All-Out Attack
Fifty years ago, the Japanese Defense Forces killed Godzilla(r) or so they thought. When a series of terrifying natural disasters begin to plague Japan, including the inexplicable offshore sinking of a U.S. submarine, a mystic old man warns his nation that Godzilla(r) has come back to destroy Japan as revenge for all the souls lost in the Pacific War. When mere military might can not squash the monster, the mystic man awakens the Holy Beasts of Yamato - King GhidorahTM, Mothra(r) and BaragonTM, sleeping giants that protected Japan in ancient times. These untamed mammoth beasts take on Godzilla(r) with frightening supernatural brute power that has been 2,000 years in the making. Tradition and technology collide in this chilling high-tech, cutting-edge fable.This 2001 Godzilla feature from Japan's Toho Studios, released as part of the mighty monster's 50th anniversary, is a visually impressive and action-packed entry in the long-running franchise, but also one with a fast and loose re-interpretation of its history that may displease some stalwart fans. Writer-director Shusuke Kaneko (who previously revitalized the Gamera series) erases everything that occurred after 1954's Godzilla and re-imagines the beast as a mythical creature harboring the souls of the Japanese victims of World War II; its attack is challenged by three "Guardian Monsters": Mothra, perennial villain King Ghidorah (here reinvented as hero) and B-list player Baragon (from Frankenstein Challenges the World). The retooling, while imaginative, is supported by spectacular special effects, but the monsters' brawls (a core reason for enjoying these films) seem abbreviated, and Kaneko's script experiences awkward seismic shifts from comedy to grim drama that may befuddle longtime G-fans. Columbia-Tri-Star's DVD is widescreen and offers Dolby Digital 5.1 sound and a Japanese language track (with English subtitles) that should please viewers with an aversion to dubbing. Trailers for other Sony/Columbia sci-fi titles like the American Godzilla feature are also included. --Paul Gaita
