Godzilla's Revenge

Amazon.com

Sounds like what happens when you visit too many off-the-beaten-path sushi shops, doesn't it? Godzilla's Revenge is number 10 in the Godzilla series, directed by the first and best of the Godzilla directors, Inoshiro Honda. Essentially a childhood power fantasy, the film concerns Ishiro (the director's namesake), a youngster whose mind-tripping dreams on Monster Island help him gain the resolve to rout a gang of criminals and the neighborhood bullies who've been plaguing him. Part child's fantasy story, part monster movie with extended battle sequences, Godzilla's Revenge may be one of Honda's most consistently entertaining films, despite the fact that the colorful monster footage is reused from earlier movies. This is recommended fare for the juvenile or juvenile-at-heart. --Jim Gay

Terrible DVD Release For A Terrible Movie.......2007-08-08

I remember i watched it when i was young. So when I saw that it was on dvd i wanted to get it. (remember i was young and i didn't remember how stupid it was.) I thought Godzilla was going to stomp the city. Only in The beginning with some stock footage from destroy all monsters and it wasn't even that long. It was no more than stock footage and poor special effects. I thought that Gabara Could be Cool if He had A Really big upgrade. I saw holes in gabaras neck not like battle holes, but holes that made gabaras roars. really sad. over all poor movie. I'm a kid too and i don't even like it.

Lighten up, folks!.......2006-08-02

I love this movie. It's extremely corny, most of the footage is stock, but it is so entertaining. I think the Godzilla gang really had fun making this one.Minilla is ridiculous,but remember, this is in a kid's dream sequence. His dreams WOULD be made up of stock footage and ridiculous characters, wouldn't they? I think this one is a great big thank you to all the kids who helped make Godzilla famous.

attack of the killer stock footage.......2006-06-16

this is ether the worst godzilla movie ever made or one of the best.(depending on what you want out of it.) Being a Godzilla series fan I gave this movie the closest raiting I could. (please look at what decribes why you want the movie below and get the best rating for you)

IF YOU ARE A GODZILLA SERIES FAN- this movie is a terrable godzilla movie (with a misleading title.)This movie shows you one to two minutes of new godzilla. There is only one new scene with Gidzilla! (the rest is old stock footage from Son of Godzilla and Godzilla vs. the Sea Monster.) The only reason to buy this movie is ether to complete the collection, OR to see one of the funniest godzilla movies ever made. (beating Godzilla vs. Megalon!)My brother and I laffed so hard when we saw this movie because Minya talking is the worst idea i've ever heard. (literally heard.) IN CONCLUSION if you get this movie in a box set (because they always stick this one in there), and are to lazy to put in both Godzilla vs. The Sea Monster and Son of Godzilla, skip ALL of the scenes without Godzilla, turn the volume lower than mute, and crank up some Heavy Metal music (may I suggest Metallica?) because this is not a good moment for godzilla! For a Godzilla series fan I give this movie a -* (negotive star)raiting.

IF YOU ARE GETTING A GIFT FOR A CHILD AROUND THE AGE OF 5 To 8- This a good movie for a small child who (like I used to be) is obsessed with dinosaurs or monsters. This movie has a farely nice message for kids, wrapped up in a watchable package. It teaches your kids to stand up for themselves. For a young child I give this movie a **** (four star) review.

remember how old you were when you first saw this?.......2006-03-26

i think this is one of the best godzilla movies ever. we have all the monsters on monster island wow i saw this as a child no older than the little boy and i could relate. i felt so good and strong after this movie. keep in mind how old you were when you first saw this. see it through the eyes of a child. godzilla and his son will always be my heros. buy this and take a break from the real world and go back to your youth on monster island.

It's like a snowcone--pleasant, sweet, and insubstantial--and who doesn't like a snowcone now and then?.......2006-01-31

Since when were Godzilla movies supposed to be taken seriously? Don't get me wrong; I absolutely love them, but to read some of the reviews posted here one would think that this movie constitutes some atrocity against humanity, when, really, it's just a very lightweight, inoffensive piece of fluff.

Sure, it's aimed squarely at kids. Sure, it's cheap-looking; isn't that the fun of a classic Godzilla movie? Have your insulin ready for the sicky sweet kiddy matinee slant this movie has, then sit back and enjoy what amounts to a compilation of the best stock footage sequences from previous movies.

This was only the second Godzilla movie I ever saw as a kid; I was maybe 10 years old at the time, and thought that being able to shift moods from deadly serious dealings in the first one was a really neat idea (I was only 10 at the time, after all). I still enjoy the virtually nonstop parade of monster scrappin', even if some of it is re-cut from other movies. I never guessed such a thing way back when.

Groovy to me still is the very late-sixties Lounge sound of the main theme, "March of the Monsters". Outer-spacey electronic and burning with lava-hot sax, it cools off with jangling surfer guitar to create a piece of psychedelic pop trash ear candy at it's trippiest.

The other major reason to see this is for the only screen appearance of Gabara, a colorful, fierce-looking (for that time) and highly original beasty who I always have included as part of the offical monster lineup. Even if he is regarded as purely the product of a boy's fevered imaginings, those of us who dig him know he's as "real" as any of the rest of the Toho gang.

Just remember that this movie could have done MUCH worse for pissing away it's given potential, as other entries have certainly done ("Godzilla Final Wars",anyone?).

"Godzilla's Revenge" doesn't aim high to begin with, and therefore shouldn't be considered a failure when, in fact,it squarely hits the mark.

Cynics and fanboys alike to need to view it through the eyes it was intended for in the first place (if they can remember how), and, like enjoying a snowcone on a summer day, they (and you) will find it pleasant, colorful, sweet, and insubstantial, a not-too-serious distraction that's gone before you know it, and you won't disappointed for having taken the time.

GO Godzilla.......2007-01-12

The day this came to me I watched all of the movies!! Since I was little I have always loved Godzilla and now my son loves it too. This is a super collection to have!!

Godzilla Is The King!.......2007-01-10

This pack has the original film of godzilla, theres alote of destruction. Mothra is very large in "Godzilla vs Mothra". This movie was in the 1960's. Minilla wants to get stronger in order to beat Gabara. a little boy named Ichiro helps out him. He now has has courage to fight in his own battles. This is a sequel to "Son of Godzilla" both made in the 1960s's. A sequel to "Godzilla vs MechaGodzilla"...Terror of MechaGodzilla. After King Caesar and Godzilla defeated the metal menace, and three men stoped the aliens, more aliens apeared and rebuiled him, but now a preostoric monster called Titanosaures controlled by a old man's cyborg daughter. And Godzilla has no partner this time to make things equel. but a team that studies the giant dino and discovers its weakness. see what happens next. Rodan's movie is simaler to the first godzilla movie.

Godzilla-The Ultimate Collection.......2007-01-09

All 5 DVD's work very well. I am very pleased with my purchase.

As much Godzilla as you can stand........2006-10-05

The Ultimate Godzilla DVD Collection has five movies. The first film is Godzilla, King Of The Monsters. It is the original movie that brought Godzilla to life on the big screen. Well, the original did not have Raymond Burr in it, but you understand what I mean. Godzilla is a 400 foot high Tyrannosaurus Rex woken up by an atomic bomb test. Only 78 minutes, it isn't that long a movie.
The second film in the set is Godzilla Vs. Mothra. Mothra, a giant moth, wants her giant egg back and is coming to Japan to get it. Yes, I said moth. Tiny twins, greedy businessmen and Godzilla all guest star in this flick. Mothra would go to make her own flicks.
Godzilla's Revenge has a really bad plot but is really just an excuse to show off all those monsters from past films. Just watch it to enjoy seeing Godzilla kicking [...].
Terror Of Mechagodzilla is a great film. Alien invaders try to use a fake Godzilla, damaged from an earlier battle with Godzilla but not forgotten, to take over the Earth and only the real Godzilla can stop them.
Rodan is just a special bonus movie. Flying at supersonic speeds, two giant creatures cause damage to buildings and snap up humans for lunch. Yummy!
This set is just cool to have and a great gift for any Japanese monster fan.

Great Value.......2006-08-12

With The exception of Godzilla's Revenge (which is probably the worst Godzilla movie ever!) I couldn't have asked for a better set, especially considering the price. 4 of the 5 are solid films, and did I mention the price!?!
