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. :)

This is probably the most controversial Godzilla movie made, and is a tricky one to review. It has a lot of 70s era psychedelic imagery, including a couple of animated sequences and transitions that make this feel like some kind of acid trip experimental film. The overall tone of the film is rather grim, with a couple of exceptions, like when Godzilla takes flight. Hedorah, or the Smog Monster, does look great in all his various forms, and the final fight is very good.

I found it possible to get past all the wacky 70s stuff that was going on in the film. I found it rather kitschy all in all, and was able to enjoy it. For other Godzilla fans this movie might go over with an audible clunk, but it's up to you.
