Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla (1993, Okawara Takao)

The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Apr 11, 2016

Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla is outrageous spectacle. The film has the perfect combination of story, director and special effects. The film allows its giant monsters limited personalities, feasible motivations. It even manages to raise questions of morality as this version’s Mechagodzilla is pi read more

Godzilla vs. Destoroyah (1995, Okawara Takao)

The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Apr 11, 2016

Godzilla vs. Destoroyah does a lot. It mixes an Aliens rip-off into a Godzilla movie, then tries new things for the giant monster fight, all while finishing off the series. Destoroyah is meant to close off the franchise, giving director Okawara plenty of opportunities to tug at heart strings. Okawa read more

Godzilla vs. Megaguirus (2000, Tezuka Masaaki)

The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Apr 11, 2016

To say Godzilla vs. Megaguirus is good for a while might be a stretch, but it’s definitely okay for a while. It’s a Godzilla movie with a lot of CG, whether it’s the giant monster itself swimming or the millions of prehistoric dragonflies out to sting him. Director Masaaki tries h read more

Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack (2001, Kaneko Shûsuke)

The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Apr 11, 2016

While watching Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack, I had a daydream. I day dreamt Craig Armstrong, composer of The Incredible Hulk score, had been brought in the redo the score of Attack for the U.S. home video market. He did not. Instead, Ôtani Kô actually did compos read more

Godzilla vs. Hedorah (1971, Banno Yoshimitsu)

The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Apr 10, 2016

There are two types of people in the world. People who like Godzilla vs. Hedorah and people who do not. I am in the former category. I think director Banno knows how to do what he wants to do, which is make an impassioned environmental statement with a Godzilla movie. Banno asks the audience to hum read more

Godzilla vs. Gigan (1972, Fukuda Jun)

The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Apr 10, 2016

Godzilla vs. Gigan is a little like a filmed ballet or play. It’s a performance of its Kaiju ballet. The Kaiju ballet has a stage–a surprisingly large soundstage with a miniature Tokyo or Mount Fuji landscape for serve as the ring in which the men in suits wrestle. The men in suits are read more

Godzilla vs. Megalon (1973, Fukuda Jun)

The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Apr 10, 2016

Godzilla vs. Megalon is madness. There are two distinct portions of the film and both of them are crazy. Initially, these portions might more seem stupid than crazy, but they’re crazy. Director Fukuda gets to make an espionage thriller and a Godzilla movie where Godzilla communicates with the read more

Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla (1974, Fukuda Jun)

The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Apr 10, 2016

I want to be more enthusiastic about Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla. It has a number of good moments, often involving giant monsters, which is impressive. Godzilla facing off against a mechanical Godzilla (not to mention a flesh-covered cyborg–nothing dead will go), it’s a great visual. Dir read more

Godzilla vs. the Sea Monster (1966, Fukuda Jun)

The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Dec 6, 2015

I’m having a difficult time writing about Godzilla vs. the Sea Monster because, even though the movie isn’t good, I wish I liked it more. I wish I enjoyed it more. As a cultural artifact, Sea Monster is definitely interesting. Most of the film has to do with these four not so bright dud read more

Mothra vs. Godzilla (1964, Honda Ishirô)

The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Nov 2, 2015

I’m not sure if Mothra vs. Godzilla should be much better, but it certainly should be somewhat better. There are constant problems with the film; little things, big things, but clearly fixable things. Like the composite shots. They’re terrible. Director Honda, seemingly overwhelmed with read more

Son of Godzilla (1967, Fukuda Jun)

The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on Oct 17, 2015

Strangely enough, Son of Godzilla ends well. It’s a surprise because the film loses a lot of steam throughout. Whether it’s the human plot or the Godzilla plot, the scene inevitably fails because of director Fukuda. Unless it’s one of the multiple times writers Sekizawa Shin’ read more

Godzilla (1954, Honda Ishirô)

The Stop Button Posted by Andrew Wickliffe on May 17, 2014

Godzilla is a peculiar picture. It's intensely serious, with director Honda never letting the viewer get a moment's relief. This approach is all throughout the film, which opens with a documentary feel. Honda and co-screenwriter Murata Takeo set up their main characters quickly and withou read more
