Absolutely the worst movie.

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

This 1995 addition to the "Godzilla" legacy was actually a rather entertaining movie, and a movie that did manage to elevate itself up from the mediocrity of many of the "Godzilla" movies.Story-wise then you know what you are getting here, as you know with each and every single of the "Godzilla" movies. A massive threat to Tokyo rises in the shape of a grotesque monstrous creature and Godzilla arrives to fight it, leaving destruction and mayhem in their wake as they fight it out in the metropolitan heart of Tokyo.The acting in "Godzilla vs Destroyah" (aka "Gojira vs. Desutoroiâ") was adequate as it has usually been in the previous many movies. And I am glad that I was fortunate enough to watch it in the original Japanese language, as the English dubbed versions are just enjoyment-killers.The creatures in "Godzilla vs Destroyah" were good, although the thing going on with the rising heat at the core of Godzilla was just ludicrous. But hey, it made for a new take on the grandfather of all monsters. And the Destroyah creature was actually interesting, in each of its many forms, and the creature was nicely made.There is a lot of destruction and explosions in "Godzilla vs Destroyah", which in itself is more than enough to actually make it an entertaining movie.All in all an enjoyable movie, especially if you like "Godzilla". I was genuinely entertained by this 1995 movie.

Part of the charm on Toho's Godzilla series is the way the characters keep talking about the monsters is if they were people with personalities. Instead of just being just a huge monster to be disposed of G, his scaly compatriots and his opponents are almost welcomed as second class citizens.I've seen nearly every Godzilla movie out there and 'Godzilla vs. Destroyah' is probably my favorite. The movie opens with the information that G's home island contained deposits of uranium and blew up because of it. He shows up off the shores of Hong Kong glowing red and scientists rush to find out what that means.The answer lies with a college kid named Wesley Crusher . . . uh . . . I mean Ken who has made his life's work, a study in Godzilla's nuclear make-up. This has, doubtless, made him a laughing stock at the University.As Japan tries to figure out what will happen when Godzilla has a meltdown, an accident occurs at Tokyo bay (the former Godzilla's final resting place) that brings around a new breed of creatures called Destroyers, large praying mantis' which fire beams from their mouths.Sooner or later the two will square off in the grudge match of the century or at least this installment of the series. There is a lot of story here, most of it dependent on whether or not you know your Godzilla movie history. There is actually continuity and it is kind of fun.These movies don't take their preposterousness as comedy but more or less deadly serious. Sad to say, but G finally takes his last stomp here but the consolation is that Godzilla 2000 is on its way.

The epic finale of the second Godzilla series concludes with Big G himself facing his toughest challenge yet! This is my personal favorite of the entire Godzilla series after the original 1954 film, and in many ways, this film does it's best to tie back to that film as much as possible, even explicitly tying the origins of Godzilla's new foe to the fate of the original King of the Monsters. Godzilla is at his largest, most powerful, and by far the most furious that he's ever been in the entire franchise, but he will be matched up against the nightmarish Destoroyah, one of the strongest and most terrifying monsters to ever appear in any film! What follows is a fitting and powerful conclusion for the King Of The Monsters, the last dance so to speak. For Godzilla's days are numbered, as the same radioactive meltdown that is triggering his increased strength and fury is also draining him and will eventually kill him. With some of the best visual effects and creature designs of the entire franchise, and an appropriately epic score to match, G vs. D represents the best the series has to offer. If you must watch only one Godzilla movie, watch the original 1954 Japanese version. But if you watch two, then I urge you to consider Godzilla vs. Destoroyah with the original. With this film, the Heisei series decisively came to an end, and Godzilla would enjoy a well earned and fitting retirement ... that is, until an American impostor pretending to be the original King Of The Monsters would rear its ugly head in a certain 1998 Columbia/Tristar film that shall remain nameless ...

22nd installment and still kicking. This is the climax to the Heisei series. It's quite a beautiful climax, and rather poetic in its relation to the rest of the series. It's the first film with strong connections to the original. It brings back talk of the Oxygen Destroyah, which inadvertently created a new breed of monster. Meanwhile, Godzilla goes on a dramatic journey of character for such a big monster. First of all, he is getting close to meltdown, having absorbed too much nuclear radiation, he may be about to explode. This leaves him with a rather interesting glowing look, Also, he may be about to become a responsible father, as he tracks down his presumably dead son. Toho put a lot of faith into a big rubbery character, but he pulls it off. This is the most emotional since the original, and it still has time for awesome action sequences. Part of me wishes I had watched these years ago, as the city destruction scenes must have seemed even more impressive. Still, it's engaging stuff, and the perfect end to this series.
