6/10
A pretty entertaining entry in the series
15 February 2022
In Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah humans (Futurians) come from the future to ask present-day earthlings permission to remove Godzilla from the past. The earthlings say, "sounds good, please proceed," and the Futurians do so, then unleash Ghidorah on present-day Tokyo.

Earthlings never learn.

This is a pretty entertaining entry in the series, especially if you like time travel stories, sci-fi, and monsters smashing Tokyo. Here Godzilla smashes Tokyo, then Ghidorah smashes Tokyo, then Godzilla smashes Tokyo again. Smash, smash, smash.

There's also this android from the future I really liked. He runs around a lot with these blurred backgrounds behind him. He's moving slowly, but backgrounds move fast. It's a pleasing effect.

I don't know why, but the films in the Heisei era of Godzilla are twenty minutes longer than those in the Showa era. My guess is, smaller budgets meant a shorter runtime. But part of me wants to believe director Ishiro Honda knew these films worked better lean. Personally I wouldn't mind a little less smashy smash.
