| Yes folks, Godzilla has gone "Green". He's kickin' ass and fighting pollution for a healthy and safe future for Japan. Of course, to keep things entertaining, Godzilla also has to fight a sludge monster called Hedorah who is basically amorphous but can metamorphosize in various of shapes at will and can assimilate all sorts of pollutions.
Two things utterly ridiculous about this film:
#1. It's an environmentally deranged idealism (hypothetically speaking) created by the environmentalists (I assume this film was directed by an environmentalist), that we are somehow capable of being this incompetent about pollution. Things like the idea that the pollution will pervade every aspect of the ocean and everything will die and all sorts of asinine theories. Not saying it's a consummate falsity, but it's too over-exaggerated (but I guess I could also say that this is just a movie and shouldn't be taken seriously).
#2. Godzilla can fly. Ah yes, he can jet propel himself by utilizing his fire breathing "skillz, yo!"
This Godzilla film creeped me out. I mean it's got scary moments when Hedorah flew over some people and you literally saw people instantaneously rot into decomposition. The Smog Monster was also creepy, but I think he's the coolest monster ever conceived in a Godzilla film.
In conclusion, I liked this movie despite some idiocies that didn't belong in these Godzilla films (more or less referring to the Godzilla flying thing, and him somehow developing a sudden conscience to battle pollution).
HAPPY EARTH DAY. :) |
