Yes. I'll admit it . This is a bad movie. A bad movie that I've watched over and over and over and over again! It is weird how much I like this movie. You could say I like it ironically, but not really, because I believe it has a type of charm that I find intentional. The monster fights are fun, and I like the plot. I totally understand people that hate this entry in the series, but I find it to be one of the most fun Godzilla movies out there!

On my Top 10 Godzilla Films list, it is actually included. Here's the list: 1.Gojira 2.Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla 3.Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah 4.Godzilla: Final Wars 5.Mothra vs. Godzilla 6.Godzilla vs. Destroyah 7.Godzilla vs. Spacegodzilla 8.Godzilla, Mothra, and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All Out Attack 9.Ghidorah: The Three-Headed Monster 10.(this film.)

This is actually on of my favourite Godzilla films. While on one hand it has one of the worst enemy monsters, Ebira (although it also has Mothra, but he only appears at the end and doesn't really do anything) it also has a neat story. It's not as cool as the original, but I think it sure as hell beats the cheezy alien stories which are so ridiculous and unbelievable that even their cheeze value is threatened. As well, most Godzilla movies spend *way* too much time and focus on the monsters fighting and rampaging (Godzilla vs. Gigan is a perfect example of this), but this one had more of a plot. The takeover didn't seem as implausible and it was more tongue in cheek. It's also one of the best dub-jobs I've *ever* seen in a Godzilla movie (or any of the other similar ones).

Overall: this is one of the more fun Godzilla films. It's still silly, but in an enjoyable way. It's not ruined by being overly stupid and it's cheeze factor is definitely amusing. 6/10.

Talking to a spirit, a dance marathon, and a yacht jacking. The story doesn't really make sense as it stumbles from one situation to the next. All it really wants is a yacht and the monster. It could have gotten there a lot more simpler but it wouldn't be a Godzilla movie if it was well written. Four men are shipwrecked on an island after their yacht is destroyed by the monster. The island is controlled by terrorist organization Red Bamboo with the natives as forced labor. The quartet is joined by native girl Daiyo. They find Godzilla sleeping in a cave.

The franchise is getting more and more campy. The whole first act is a convoluted journey. Infant island is not always the most exciting but at least, it has the Shobijin twins. Only in this one, the twins are different and I don't like it. I don't really like a sleepy Godzilla either. It would have been better to have Godzilla trapped rather than sleeping. I also don't like the terrorists. The franchise seems to be losing its way.
