Summary:
A mysterious UFO from the future lands in Japan of the year 1992. The time travellers say that Godzilla will destroy earth in the 21st century. They promise to prevent this by going back to the time before the 2nd World War to transport the dinosaur from the isle Lagos (who was mutated in Godzilla through the nuklear bomb-testing). The mission is successful, but the three futurians leave three little pets behind: the Dorats. Through the nuclear radiation they melt into one scary creature: King Ghidorah. Now, the aim of the futurians is clear. They want to have Ghidorah to destroy earth for them, cause Godzilla does not longer exist anymore. To protect Japan, japanese military has plans to reanimate Godzilla. They fire nuclear bombs onto the island where the dinosaur lives, the result: a much bigger and scary Godzilla, with lots more power than ever before. The "new" Godzilla meets King Ghidorah and destroys him. Now he soon heads up for Tokyo and lays a path of destruction on his way. A japanese future woman has a heart for the population and a guy especially and wants to help them to create a new undefeatable Mecha-King Ghidorah. A really hard fights begin and Godzillaīs losing. Earth is safe again!
My Opinion:
The whole time travels are really disgusting and not very clear structured. But thereīs a really cool King Ghidorah and he looks greater than ever before! Because of this and other points, too, this oneīs is my second favourite. Godzilla himself is much scary than ever before (remember the scene when heīs in front of his earlier rescuer of world war II? He just looks at him a while and blasts him away. Some think thatīs hard, I think it shows his real face. I love it!)
But it is curious that mankind can defeat him with its technology. Even King Ghidorah had no chance! But thatīs all I have to critisize. With Godzilla vs.Mechagodzilla my absolute favourite of the series. The monsters seem to be real, only the flying scenes of Ghidorah are really really bad!! But Ghidorah as a cyborg looks great and the final fight is terrific.
As I said, the story is not my taste but especially the monsterdesign and the fightings are worth taking more looks at this movie!
