One of my favorites, April 22, 2004
Godzilla Vs. King Gidorah is the third movie in the Heisei series, the first two being Godzilla 1985 and Godzilla Vs. Biollante, and continues with the higher production values.
Humans from the future have come to Japan to warn that Godzilla will soon recover from the anti-nuclear bacteria and lay waste to Japan. The best way to stop him would be to go back to 1945 and move the godzillasaurus from the Marshal Islands before it can be mutated into Godzilla. They then go back to perform the deed. After that the dinosaur saves a troop of Japanese soldiers from the attacking Americans it is teleported to the Bering Strait. But the future humans leave behind three small bio-engineered creatures called dorats.
Back in our present day Godzilla no longer exists (although there are no real changes). But now a new monster, King Gidorah, has risen. King Gidorah was created when the dorats were exposed to the radiation that originally created Godzilla. That the future humans are actually here to prevent Japan from becoming the number-one world power. With King Gidorah under their control they should be able to destroy Japan. The Japanese government decides to locate the godzillasaurus and expose it to enough radiation to recreate Godzilla. But a sunken nuclear sub has beat them to it. Godzilla lives and is bigger than ever.
At about that time a schism opens among the future humans and two, a Japanese woman and an android, decide to help current Japan. Godzilla manages to defeat King Gidorah and blow off its middle head. But then Godzilla takes up where King Gidorah left off. Now Japans only hope is for the future humans to restore King Gidorah and defeat Godzilla. Back in the future King Gidorah is located and augmented into Mecha-King Gidorah who comes back to drive off Godzilla. In the end the two monsters plummet into the sea.
This is a real fun one. I am glad Tri-Star Pictures was able to finally release this one in America after a long delay (although the portrayal of Americans is not too favorable).

Godzilla at his Best!, February 21, 2000
This film, the sequel to GODZILLA VS. BIOLLANTE, is one of the very best of Toho's series. It begins with a very impressive musical score, and the arrival of people from the future. They say Godzilla will arise and lay waste to Japan, and ultimately the world. So, they go back to remove the Godzillasaur from Lagos Island(which is where he'll become Big-G)in place of the dinosaur, three dorats are placed on the island. The creatures become King Ghidorah. To defend Japan from Ghidorah's wrath, Godzilla is reborn(100 meters!)The monsters fight, and at the end it is MechaKing Ghidorah that delivers the final blow to Godzilla who is attacking Japan. A very good movie! Highly reccommended for Ghidorah and Godzilla fans!

Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah, June 29, 2001
In the beginning of the movie a UFO is spotted over Tokyo. Aircraft had disapeered. What is going on? The people in the UFO are from the year 2024. These people say Godzilla will destroy Japan. So they go back to Febuary, in 1944(During World War II). Godzilla was a dinosaur back then and moved the dinosaurm into the Bering Sea. Then the put the Dorats out. Then the H-Bomb turns the Dorats into a powerful 3-headed monster called King Ghidorah. Next, King Ghidorah destroys a city. Then a nuclear sub uses radioactive weapons to turn the dinosaur back into Godzilla. Godzilla and King Ghidorah fight. Godzilla blasts King Ghidorah's middle head off, and makes a hole in its wing with Godzilla's raidioactivity. Godzilla attacks another city. Meanwhile the people go back to the future and revive King Ghidorah into a cyborg (called Mecha-King Ghidorah) to stop Godzilla. Godzilla and Ghidorah battle in Tokyo. Who wins? Whatch this movie to find out.
