Godzilla vs Destoroyah Movie Review
Godzilla, on the verge of a nuclear meltdown, destroys Hong Kong and battles Destoroyah (pronounced "Destroyer", but spelled in this unusual way due to copyright deals), a menacing foe that can take the shape of several smaller creatures. Largely considered one of the best movies of the franchise, this 1996 outing pays tribute to the original film, while also bringing new elements to the table. As a result of his condition, Godzilla himself looks very different in this movie.
He looks pretty hot
Godzilla is also joined by his son here, but mercifully, it's not the one from Godzilla's Revenge, a film we'd all like to forget. The events that unfold near the end of the movie provide us a look at Godzilla's emotional side we had not seen before, which is...interesting. The acting and story are actually pretty good in the movie--we don't watch Godzilla movies for these reasons, but having them as an added bonus is nice. This brings us to why we do watch Godzilla films--the battles--and you will not be disappointed by that here.
Did I mention Godzilla is outsized?
Tons of action leads us to an ending that is a bit underwhelming, but considering that at the time this film came out, the future of Godzilla appeared to be in Hollywood's hands, it kind of makes sense. If you are a fan of the classic Godzilla films but hate the "newer" movies, give this one a shot; it very much has the feel of the ones we all love.
