This one has some of Earth's best and most patriotic monsters teaming up to defeat a new creation from the Japanese film makers. Ghidorah is a three headed Cerberus like creature who spits fire from each head. He already destroyed the planet Venus or Mars depending on which version you watch. A princess from a small Himalayan country has been possessed by the spirit of the now dead world and is trying to warn of Ghidorah's coming and his powers. There's a subplot in this involving an attempted kidnapping of the princess.In the end it's Mothra and his two fairy companions who persuade Godzilla and Rodan to team up and the three of them face Ghidorah in a handicap match and combine their skills to defeat the really alien dude. You have to admire the way Rodan and Mothra worked together on this with Godzilla providing a finishing move with some foreign objects.These films are so cheesy, but they're lots of fun.
Princesses from outer space, monsters forming alliances, bad guys who don't realize the danger of the monsters. Little girls singing to Mothra. I never cared much for these Monster Island things where the creatures cohabitate. The redeeming part of this movie is Ghiidorah. The animation is quite good. The three headed creature is very formidable and well conceived. The scenes where he faces off against the other monsters is frantic and intense. The problem for me, considering I sort of like these Japanese things, is there is no center to anything. The mythology shifts from time to time. Plus one never can quite get a handle on the number of casualties and the destruction brought on and yet an effort to ally with these things. Every movie is about the same. I really enjoyed the first ones (with the exception of those giant turtle ones--Gamea).
The best Godzilla movie is the 1998 remake. Maybe you don't agree that's OK. But if you are really mad about it get over it you pee pee heads. This is the second R.o.d.a.n movie. It is also the third M.o.t.h.r.a movie. It is also the fifth Godzilla movie. It is very good. It is not as good as the original R.o.d.a.n. It is not as good as Destroy all monsters. That would be the Forth R.o.d.a.n movie. It would also be the fifth M.o.t.h.r.a movie. It would also be the ninth Godzilla movie. Godzilla final wars is also better. That is part 28 to the Japan Godzilla series. It would also be the seventh R.o.d.a.n movie. It would also be the 14th M.o.t.h.r.a movie. Godzilla vs M.o.t.h.r.a is also better. That's the second M.o.t.h.r.a movie. It is also the forth Godzilla movie. This is still a very good movie. It is very well written. It a lot of fun. A three headed giant spaces monster called King G.h.i.d.o.r.a.h flies to earth to destroy man kind. Now Godzilla M.o.t.h.r.a and R.o.d.a.n most fight together to stop him. All the M.o.t.h.r.a movies are good. All the R.o.d.an movies are good. And most of the Godzilla movies are good. See this movie. It's a great movie. A classic.
Ghidorah: The Three-Headed Monster was a turning point in the Godzilla series. This is where the monster rumble was born. Godzilla, Mothra (in larvae form), and Rodan team up to battle a new monster named Ghidrah (or Ghidorah in the Japanese version). Ghidorah is an impressive beast - a colossal 3-headed dragon that spits yellow gravity beams. This is Rodan's first appearance since 1956. Unfortunately, the design of the suit was changed to look less menacing. This is when the series begins to gear towards children. Godzilla becomes a reluctant hero. In a rare instance of continuity in the series, Mothra vs. Godzilla is referenced. Invasion of the Astro-Monster (or Monster Zero) followed a year later and these 3 films really form a trilogy.The DVD includes both the Japanese and American versions of Ghidorah. The Japanese versions runs about 93 minutes and the English dubbed version runs about 85. This was the last Godzilla film to be extensively altered when brought to America. Both versions have their positives. Also included is an Image Gallery and Slide Show of movie posters, an Eiji Tsuburaya biography, and the original Japanese trailer.
