| ♥♥♥♥♥ | Not Godzilla's best film, but good nonetheless |
| This appears to be the Japanese cut of the movie, based on the timing. And audio is available in either the original Japanese or "international" English dub. English subtitles can be turned on or off. Note, however, that the titles (not the subtitles, of course - but the titles or credits) at the beginning of the movie are in English, not Japanese. That may be a disappointment for ultra-purists, such as myself, but should I imagine be ok with most well-adjusted English-speaking people who encounter this release of the film. The original Japanese language opening titles/credits would have been nice though. (Tokyo Shock and Classic Media both use the original Japanese titles for their releases. It would have been nice if Sony had done as well.)
The movie has been very nicely remastered. The image quality and color is excellent. As noted in other reviews, this is not the best entry in the Godzilla canon. However, it certainly isn't the worst either. If you like Godzilla movies, especially those set on tropical islands and featuring Mothra (and the Peanuts, of course), it's definitely worth chekcing out. And, presented as it is here, in widescreen w/ Japanese audio on, the film artistically and as a narrative story is more compelling than the pan-n-scan, dubbed version you may recall. Monsters featured include, Godzilla, Ebirah (a giant shrimp - in Japanese, "ebi" = "shrimp"), Mothra, and a giant buzzard-like bird. |
