[QUOTE="Richards, post: 2813018, member: 508"] Well, I bought it and watched it yesterday, and while it was enjoyable, I really wish there had been less of the mutant superhero stuff and more of the hot, steaming kaiju-on-kaiju action. I was a bit disappointed in the fact that many of the monsters got so little screen time, and what's with Ebirah having to fight five superhero mutants with handguns? Giant monsters shouldn't have to worry about human-sized threats! If you want to use lasers/masers/phasers/whatever against a rampaging giant monster, at least have the common courtesy to mount them onto a Jeep or a truck and send them out with the toy tanks that inevitably get melted! :) Also, I wasn't particularly thrilled to see the updated Minya (called Milla here, I notice), but if he's going to play a role, shouldn't he have been significantly larger? He really seemed out of scale to Godzilla, even after he mysteriously grew. I loved the fact that "Zilla" lasted all of two combat moves against the [u]real[/u] Godzilla before becoming toast. It would have been even funnier if, instead of calling it "Zilla," they had gone with "GINO," which is the term many Godzilla enthusiasts use. (GINO = "Godzilla In Name Only") And I loved Mothra's death scene. Mothra's such a good sport; she dies in just about every movie she appears in! I just wish they could have fit in the caterpillar form in as well. I caught the kid throwing the Gamera toy into the fireplace, too. That was a cute touch. So was "Monster X" the proto-Ghidorah?
