Godzilla returns in two monster movies.

Godzilla Vs Megalon: Why re-release this waste of time? It's mainly cemented together from footage taken straight from older Godzilla films. The plot (sic) involves yet another race of aliens attempting to take over the worldwith the help of their giant monsters. Gigan returns from an earlier tale and is joined by a giant cockroach. Also present to help Godzilla is a giant robot which was all the charm and grace of a sandwich toaster. Ghidora (Ghidrah?) is also slung in for no real reason. Lifeless, boring rubbish. 1 star.

Godzilla 85: Sequel to the first Godzilla film made. Though this has a serious theme and attempts to return the series to the glory days it is constantly interupted by added-in scenes containing Raymond Burr, not to mention generals sipping Dr Pepper. These scenes are pointless and laughable, and the film is badly edited, Godzilla spending long minutes just standing about aimlessly. 3 stars.

I am not a Godzilla fan. My children, especially my 9-year-old son, are both big fans. They have watched these videos several times since receiving the set as a Christmas gift. My 11-year-old nephew has also enjoyed watching the movies. I thought the movies were boring and had horrible graphics but, as noted earlier, I am not a fan. The other adults in our family did not enjoy watching the set either. That is why I am giving them a 3.

The only thing I have to say about putting these 2 films together in a 2 pack is... why? "Godzilla vs. Megalon" is one of the most goofiest Godzilla films in the whole series and "Godzilla 1985" is one of the scariest, most down to earth Godzilla films. You will be really confused if your first Godzilla movies are these 2 in a 2 pack. First you watch "Godzilla 1985" and think "WOW, Godzilla is a force to be reconed with. He's a huge, lumbering, radioactive horror, who kills anithing in sight!" Then you watch "Godzilla vs. Megalon", and now Godzilla is dancing, flying, and doing flying kicks on his tail and co- starring with a happy, dancing robot who can change size when he wants to. What will a person being introduced to this series think of this? "NEVER AGAIN WILL I WASTE MY MONEY ON THIS JUNK" is what they will think! Now mabey if they put "Godzilla, King of the Monsters" and "Godzilla 1985" in a 2 pack...
