Godzillas Revenge is often regarded as the worst of the Godzilla Series. While I can see why this is, the truth is depending on how old you are may affect how much you enjoy this film.
The main storyline of this film involves a young boy named Ichiro. His parents work all day and he has no friends. Also he is often picked on by a bully named Gabara. Ichiro often day dreams to escape to Monster Island where he plays with Minya (Godzilla's son). Minya also has no friends and is also picked on by a bully named Gabara (what a coincidence). Ichiro soon learns many life lessons by learning from both Minya and Godzilla during their experiences on Monster Island.
For young kids this film is great. Many young children can relate to Ichiro and would love to go to Monster Island to play with Minya. This film does do an impressive job of sending the message that it is important for you to stand up for yourself and also shows how strong a kids imagination can be.
Unfortunately the good points of the film that I mentioned are not enough to save this film. Way too much of the film is stock footage from Godzilla vs the Sea Monster and Son of Godzilla (Two mediocre Godzilla films). So basically you could say that this is a Godzilla clip show, A BAD CLIP SHOW. Also Godzilla barely shows up if you do not include all of the Stock Footage. A Godzilla movie that does not have Godzilla in it much, not a good idea. This film also portrays the message that Godzilla is not real. I know that he is not real, but if you send that message in a movie that is no fun. After all that is where Godzilla is alive, in the movies. The added annoyance of Gabara's roar not to mention Minya sounding like Barney the Dinosaur are other deterants for this film.
The Japanese Version is a little different though. For one Minya has a different sounding voice, sounds like a girl's voice. Also the way the film is voiced over in English is a lot different than what they actually say in the Japanese Version. The word "Damn" is used a lot in the Japanese Version, maybe the most times I can remember in a Godzilla film.
A final thought. This is not a bad film. The parts with the kid Ichiro are not bad, quite interesting that send a good message. So while this is a bad Godzilla Film, it is not a bad film in general.
Godzilla's Revenge is probably the worst of the entire Godzilla series. I really do not recommend it to any true Godzilla fan but it is not as bad as some people say. Young children would probably enjoy this film more than adults, I loved this film as a kid, so definitely show it to any young kids you know who are interested in Godzilla.
