The best Godzilla movie., 5 June 1999
10/10
Author: Guilala from Bridgewater, MA, USA

This is certanly one of the best Godzilla movies. After years of disappearing of the video shelves and being one of the most obscure Godzilla films, it made appearances on the Sci-Fi channel and was released on video in a nicely dubbed version which was also apparently from some gorgeous Tohoscope letterboxed master. It features most of the monsters (Godzilla, Rodan. Mothra, Ghidrah, Minya, Anguirus, Manda, Baragon, Spigas, and Varan). However, there still are monsters they should of added (the H-men, the Matango, the Gragantuas, King Kong). OK, so the monsters are sent to monster island to live. However, evil alien women get mind control over the monsters (as well as some humans) and send the monsters out on a destruction spree and have the humans do their evil bidding. Eventually, the aliens' evil plan is stopped by clever Japanese scientists. The aliens send Ghidrah to kill Godzilla and friends and is defeated by the the monsters. If you have never seen a Godzilla film or are going to watch only one Godzilla film this year, watch this one.
