Editorial Reviews

When they revived the Godzilla franchise after 1985, not much was done to add to the charm and cheese of the original series of movies. Though the special effects are marginally better and the explosions more vivid, Gojira (Godzilla) still looks like a man in a rubber suit stomping on plastic cities. Thankfully! But in the new movies, the story line is more complex and developed. In arguably one of the best Godzilla flicks of the '90s, everyone's favorite nuclear-powered lizard goes mano a mano with the scourge from outer space, Spacegodzilla. But like Batman, Godzilla is not invincible. He must rely on his wits, help from a couple of friends (including Mogera), and his son (Baby Godzilla) to defeat a superior foe. --Tod Nelson

5.0 out of 5 stars My favorite Godzilla movie!, April 21, 2002

A Kid's Review

Far away in space is Space Godzilla turning his evil eyes to Earth planning to conquer it, but his only problem is Godzilla!
So he crashes down to Earth in Round 1. And the fierce Space Godzilla is able to defeat Godzilla in Round 1. But in Round 2, well,,you'll just have to watch the movie!
Baby Godzilla is very cute in this movie, even though he looks like a big eyed cartoon character!
Godzilla's greatest challenge yet!
Godzilla VS. Space Godzilla
I think every Godzilla fan should buy this video NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Fun and colorful fantasy, well worth seeing, but get the DVD, December 9, 1999

By A Customer

The Godzilla films have always been more fantasy than science fiction. This has always been one of there strongest assets. This is a fun, exciting and colorful addition to the Godzilla series. The effects are quite imaginative, some are outstanding. Note that I Did not say realistic, that has NEVER been the point of these films since the first one in 1954. Japaneese movies. like the art or theater, regards realisim as secondary to a colorful and imaginativepresentation. The new Gamera films have leaned much more to a western style of effects work. But there is room for both aproaches.This is a fast , FUN movie. with very good acting, and a nice change of pace to the other Godzilla films of the Modern era. To those that don't get the fun, go sit and watch King Kong vs Godzilla for the umteenth time and try to convince yourself that the kong suit looks good. I like my effects colorful, but that kong suit was the pits!

This movie is the best!You people who gave it one star probably have brain damage!This action was great.The dubbing was OKAY and the final fight scene rocked!This godzilla film is my favorite godzilla film.I espacially liked Moguera!I don't uderstand why some people gave it bad reviews though!This film is awsome!Spacegodzilla is my favorite villain in the whole Godzilla series!The final battle was very long however because Spacegodzilla is nearly impossible to beat.
I give this movie an A+.
