Like many of you have already said about this film, I also have to mainly agree as well about this film being exceptionally well done. In fact I put it on a tie with GMK as well (one day it is GMK and then GvsB and then the next day it is GvsB followed by GMK).
I don't know if I have already told this already but I remembered when I first got ahold of this film in (if I believe correctly 1993 or 1994) I was really impressed by the cover art that was used on the poster for this film.
I really didn't mind it at the time of the story having way too many human characters though there were some scenes wtih Miki Saegusa (her first appearence in the Godzilla movies), particularly in the ones in Osaka.
The suit design for Godzilla in this series set the bar for the rest of the Heisei's and I often usually associate the Bio-Goji suit as the main look for Godzilla (nothing against the other well known suits mind you).
Biolantte herself is exceptionally well done, particularly in her second form.
One thing that I have to mention is my belief about the writing for this film, particularly at the end where Godzilla is defeated. It is my belief that how they did it may hve come back to bite them when they tried to produce Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah as the restrictions caused by the events of Biolantte forced Toho to resort to the use of time travel.
It's a shame that this film didn't do well at the Box-Office.
I got no problem with anybody who jumps into a Starfury and rides fire! (Babylon 5)
