Finally got to see this movie... Got the Sony DVD as a gift a few weeks ago and before I could watch it, my player crapped out on me
Then I tried watching it in five-minute installments at school before class started...
But today my DVD player's fixed and I finally got to see the whole thing!
Onto the film...
Honestly, I don't see why people knock it so badly... I loved it! The effects, for the most part, sucked, but I could forgive that, because I didn't expect anything more from Kawakita.
Loved the Batogoji suit, but I absolutely despised the water suit and upper-body prop :puke: ... Battra's design was really awesome, but the execution left something to be desired. With Mothra, exactly the opposite was true: Her execution was awesome (lookit those wings go!) but she looked like a ratty dog toy.
The dubbing was bearable... BUT OH MY GOD THE COSMOS!!! They completely destroyed their beautiful voices (as heard in the Japanese trailer) and the replacement voice-over made my ears bleed... :goofy:
I loved the story though, and the divorced couple's performances (what's-his-face and Masaiko) as well as their sub-plot were great, IMO.
I'd have to say that this film has to be my favorite 90s G-film and my favorite Heisei film, just behind Return of Godzilla!
so...
Return of Godzilla
Godzilla Vs Mothra
Godzilla Vs Mechagodzilla/Vs Biollante/Vs Spacegodzilla (3-way tie...)
