Review – Ghidorah, The Three-Headed Monster

And so it arrives, the most fearsome of Godzilla’s gallery of foes. I’d have a little easier time getting behind Ghidorah if he had arms, but even as-is he’s still impressive. It takes an all-star monster match-up of Godzilla, Mothra and Rodan to run him off, at least until next time. Though the monster battles are their usual model-smashing wonderful, it takes awhile to get them going. Particularly weird was the negotiation between the Mothra caterpillar (persuaded by his fairy friends to help save humanity) and his two potential compatriots. They monster-language at each other for what seems like forever. It made me wonder if maybe Rodan was willing to settle for a decent profit-sharing scheme while Godzilla was holding out for better health care options. Otherwise this is an average giant monster outing. Mildly amusing
