The first time I watched this, the only thing that really stood out was the horrific dubbing of the dialogue and the fact that the male time travelers from the future were all suffering from male-pattern baldness. But after a second viewing, it turned out to be one of the better Big-G movies up to this point. The filmmakers stole the time travel aspects of "Terminator 2", and although cheesy beyond belief, it actually added some depth.

The effects were pretty good and the Godzilla suit was mean and nasty looking (finally). For some reason, this suit also features some massive pectoral muscles, enough to make me believe that Godzilla had been working out. I can't say that the three-headed King Ghidorah has ever been one of my favorite giant monsters, though. It just kind of stands there and shoots lightning bolts everywhere. I think it's because it has no arms to grapple Godzilla or to knock over buildings with.

There are some absolutely terrible scenes of an indestructible android that manages to run at incredible speeds while barely moving his upper body (you'll know it when you see it). The good news is, if you want to watch a decent entry from the "Heisei" series, you could make a worse choice than this.

Wow! I had a damn good time with this movie. What a blast. It is easily my favourite so far from the Heisei series and second favourite overall, only surpassed by the original 1954 film.

It's an almost perfect balance of campy sci-fi schlock, 80s/90s action, and baddass Godzilla moments.

This plot is amazing and supports its moral story very well. I'm actually impressed on how cheesey the plot is, yet how it ties in so fantastically with the underlying themes. It's very unique.

Sure this movie borrows from Back to the Future, Terminator, Aliens and no doubt more blockbusters, but god damn does it borrow well. It's funny, and I think it's aware of the campiness it has. Because some shots, are ideal for comedy gold. There is a particular cut in the final human fight that made me burst out laughing. Such an easy trick, but it uses a lot of those incredibly smoothly here.

The action! Best in the series. Hands down. The sets, designs, and even the plot coming back in the final act with a glorious battle. It's just too good. I'd say if you wanted a Godzilla movie to encapsulate what the series is, after evolving from the horror aspect, this movie is definitely it.

Loved it. And the faults are mainly editing issues and tonal shifts. But other than that, I can't wait to watch this one again.

**8.5/10**
