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 Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah - Giant Monsters All-Out Attack Customer Reviews   1     2     3   ♥♥♥♥♥ Strange yet familiar If you've seen some of the other recent GoJi (my short for Godzilla aka Gojira) movies, you may be surprised, bewildered and befuddled by the physical appearance of this Godzilla. --This movie is a retelling of the beginnings of GoJi, right after his first appearance. If you keep this in mind, the whole thing makes sense. The creatures all have a classic design to them. --All GoJi's foes seem smaller in this version, and that may be by design or me just thinking so. Mothra is smaller, but more beautiful than ever with those fantastic eyes. Ghidora is smaller, and physically less menacing, and in the context of the story, smaller because he's a youngster. Baragon...is well, baragon...always amusing and strange. --In this way, GoJi appears classically designed, like Mothra, but enhanced in some way or another. Big G looks like the b/w Gojira. Complete with chubby, bumpy face cheeks, belly, and tail. --GoJi looks less intimidating than the super spike spined versions, but is so much more brutal and cold hearted, as reflected in his eyes. --Friend or foe, familiar or strangely classic...it's another entertaining Goji movie.   1     2     3   Non User
