I love this movie so much

Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

An Exercise In Nonsense

Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

The beast Godzilla movie is Godzilla (1998). Maybe you don't think so that's o.k. But if your mad about pick something more important to get angry about you pee pee heads. This is a great movie. It is the 13th M.o.t.h.r.a movie. It is also part 27 to the Japan Godzilla series. Part 24 to the Japan Godzilla series Godzilla vs M.e.g.a.g.u.i.r.u.s is better. The 12th M.o.t.h.r.a movie which is also part 25 to the Japan Godzilla series Godzilla M.o.t.h.r.a and King G.h.i.d.o.r.a.h giant monsters all out attack is also better. The 14th M.o.t.h.r.a that would also be part 28 to the Japan Godzilla series is called Godzilla final wars. That one is also better. But still this is a great movie. All the M.o.t.h.r.a movie are good. Most of Godzilla movies are pretty cool to. This is a very scary movie see. See it. See all the M.o.t.h.r.a movies.

This is a continuation of the previous Godzilla movie, but where the previous movie was one of the best Godzilla movie, this one falls way short. The biggest culprit is the poor choice of actors which Toho seems to be an expert at. They had a pretty good combo in the previous version with Koh Takasugi, and Yumiko Shaku, but this one had bunch of kids which really had no acting abilities which really drew all life out of the plot. This is shown in the fact that this movie had such a poor turnout at the box office in Japan (13 million dollars) , that it was officially decided that the next Godzilla movie Godzilla Final Wars will be the final Godzilla movie.The story plot was boring, and also annoying with all the young actors trying to steal the lead which added to the unfocused plot. I think it was a bad idea to make a mechanic the main character of the movie. He was having a hard time being a hero. The guy who should have been the hero - the pilot of Kiryu was a horrible actor and he wouldn't have engaged the audience to a degree Yumiko Shaku did. Music was way down from the previous movie.Special effects was pretty good, and might be the best part of this film. Mothra's depiction was the most realistic of all Toho movies. But somehow I can't get used to the millennium Godzilla's face. It has no expression, and I don't get the sense that it's such a big menace. Godzilla looks small throughout the series after Godzilla 2000.So nothing as its center piece, this movie falls apart as plot moves forward.

Godzilla: Tokyo SOS is the only film of the Millennium series that is preceded by another film. Picking where Godzilla X Mechagodzilla left off, the Japanese Defense Force is in the process of repairing Mechagodzilla after his last outing with Godzilla. Yoshito Chûjô, played by Noboru Kaneko, is an mechanic working on Mechagodzilla and was visited by the tiny twin fairies of Mothra, the Shobijin. They warned him that the people must return Mechagodzilla to the sea, for the dead must not be disturbed (Mechagodzilla was created from the bones of the original Godzilla). If the people do not heed to their warnings, Mothra will declare war on mankind, which I think is a departure from Mothra because she has always been depicted as a benevolent creature. But, without Mechagodzilla, Japan has no defense against Godzilla.This film provides many references to previous Toho films, including bringing back the two character leads from Godzilla X Mechgodzilla, containing footage from the previous movies and even bringing back Kameba, the gigantic turtle from "Yog, Monster from Space" (1970). Perhaps the most notable mention is the return of Professor Shinichi Chujo, played by Hiroshi Koizumi, from the original 1961 Mothra movie. Koizumi reprises the role he did 42 years earlier, and delivers drama about Mothra's previous attack on Tokyo and referenced photographs from his trip to Infant Island in the original Mothra film.The movie is filled with drama and heroism. The part where Chujo's grandson made the Mothra sign to call her for help was one of my favorite scenes. Michiru Ôshima gave another brilliant music score and Eiichi Asada did an awesome job on the special effects. Mechagodzilla's rockets and Mothra's wing attacks were among my favorite special effects in the film - all contributed to exciting action-packed monster mayhem. Some downsides to this movie is that as this movie also serves as a sequel to the original Mothra movie, Mothra and her larvae were not emphasized enough. Godzilla was also portrayed as very weak - in some of the battle sequences with the robot, Godzilla just stands there as if he is letting Mechagodzilla attack him. And, Godzilla rarely gets any chance to do some city stomping. As with most films in the Millennium series, this movie focuses on the military - an element that gets repetitive. But, on another note, the cast of characters are likable for the most part and Mothra's design is this film is my favorite of the monster, though she is really overused by this time. Grade B-

I've been a fan of Godzilla forever, but I really wish Toho would take a long walk off a short pier. They have been making the same d@mn movie since 1989, and it's a lousy one. With the exception of the brilliant "GMK: Giant Monsters All Out Attack," every modern Godzilla movie I watch never fails to disappoint. I guess director Shusuke Kaneko shook things up a little too much by making a Godzilla movie that's actually good (GMK), and it appears he wasn't asked to do another. "Godzilla: Tokyo SOS" on the other hand is Toho doing what it does best - cranking out big-budget crap. As usual, the direction lacks any sense of style or grace. The human characters are such dorks that you almost don't even notice the dumb story lines. Godzilla mostly stands around showing off his radical new look and blasting CGI breath at anything and everything. It's not always clear what Godzilla is doing when he's on screen, or why he's doing it, but at least he's got plenty of animatronic head and neck movement, right? The other monster, Mothra, has been a staple character in a countless number of movies and looks basically the same, yet when he appears on film, the human actors gasp with surprise and awe as if it's some glorious return to the screen. Whatever. In short, if you've seen a Godzilla movie made within the last two decades, you've seen this one. Not even a direct tie-in with the original 1961 "Mothra" movie can save "Godzilla: Tokyo SOS" from joining the long list of Toho stinkers that have utterly demolished any chance for commercial success in the US.
