Though the final battle was alright, the worse film in the SUPER GREAT HEISEI GODZILLA SERIES goes to...Godzilla vs. Mothra. I just didn't like what I saw and it just seemed as if the characters were being directed by a kid who didn't like making movies to begin with. There was action, but it just wasn't aw-inspiring.

Man this really shouldve been a poll thread, but I guess this way we can see everyones reasons.
Umm the tally now is
G85- 2
GvB- 3
GvKG - 1
GvM - 9
GvMG - 0 (wow)
GvSG - 7
GvD - 2 (though apparently one was a joke)
and if some of them seem off, it could be since I counted people who listed two movies without a preference between the two...but if they said the worst was so and so, and the 2nd worst was another I didnt list their second worst.
Now the one that surprises me the most is GvsKG. Not that I hate it..it had an uber cool ending from MKG's appearance, to G getting up with his pupils flashing and blowing bubbles through the credits..but I was under the impression alot of people found the time travel thing really boring etc. It seems lately theres been alot more support going towards SG and away from GvM.
The main reasons I think 92 was the most succesful of hesei is Mothra hadnt shown up officially (no stock footage) in 24 years (and the imago form in 26). Plus the original GvM was the best made showa film other than Gojira. And GvsKG's ending sort of leaves you itching for more (or at least it left me that way when I first saw it so I quickly popped in the next tape..though by the end of that I had had my fillm, but that was like 9 years ago). It sorta seems like GvM might be the only one from hesei thats not anybody's favorite as well. While I dont like what they did to Mothra, what with the beams and all, and the more well groomed poodlish look (though it's good to see change every once and a while). I think my disdain for these things was furthered by their total exploitation in the Mothra trilogy. I dont hate the trilogy, but it shows the problem with too many beam battles all too clearly. But really the worst part of the movie for me were the non kaiju scenes. For a while the characters were alright, but by the second half of the film it makes me wish they werent there (and I really dont get Miki's point in this film the most). And is it just me or was Battra more powerful as a larva (albiet less manuverable)?
