***SPOILERS*** Any time you get these three together, you know it's gonna be a total fiasco. That's just what this on is - a complete mess. Why, then, did I give it a 10 you ask??? Because that's just exactly what Japanese monster movies are. This one fulfills all the basic requirements, and has really cool destructo-graphics, too. I'm talking about a completely stupid plot, good acting, ridiculous development, great special effects, an, of course, a feel good ending among the ruins of what I believe is supposed to be Yokohama. Who knows, really? Not me, and I don't even care. It's a whole lot more fun than the last Godzilla movie I reviewed in IMDb. That one was the San Francisco Godzilla, and the graphics as far as the battling monsters went were not up to par. The young girl ace reporter from B.S. News Network was really cute. As usual, they are always cute in these movies, and of course, the guys are usually handsome idiots or dorky brainiacs.
This girl (cub) reporter Yuri, is super brave, and just like usual, she finds herself in all kinds of trouble with three tough guy monsters. There seems to be a breakdown in communication with the military, because they start firing on Godzilla, and all he seems to be doing is hanging out in a forest. They shoot a bunch of smart rockets (or cruise missiles) at "Zilla, but this just pisses him off. He fires up his internal death ray, and knocks out the fighter aircraft without working up a sweat. THEN some hippie-type reporter informs the commander that "Zilla is a "guardian Monster" and they shouldn't be attacking him. Well, too late to worry now...
The other two monsters, of course, are the bad guys (in almost every Godzilla movie, he is ultimately "Good Monster" vs. fill-in-the-blank "Bad Monster". The story proceeds from there with a special ending, but, rest assured, folks. we ALL know that if he's ever needed again, he'll be back. Part of the end is the "super submarine commander" telling the two kids (Yuri, and wonder-dork) that there were others who should get as much credit as he does, but you can tell he really doesn't mean it, and then Yuri gives him a lame-o military salute. I mean, HE should be saluting HER, She was about ten times braver than he was, anyway. This Godzilla is, by the way pretty good looking. I still think that original American Godzilla co staring (Matt Broderick) is badder looking, but with the content, a cute girl and lots of action, I'm not gonna complain. It's a 10.
