This film is now ten years old and it still retains its popularity. For this edition of its greatest movie series, Toho decided to take chances and do something quite different for the King of the Monsters and that chance basically paid off. The result was GMK.
Plot: After about fifty years since Godzilla's rampage, a Japan where some have either forgotten or don't believe in the monster began having a series of mysterious events. A mystic old man warns that Godzilla, resurrected and possessed by souls lost during WW2, will once again go on a rampage, so he awakens the so-called Guardian Monsters: Baragon, Mothra, and King Ghidorah to combat the dinosaur.
An interesting story, epic action scenes, and wonderful music are what keep this film going. However, some of the decisions made for this movie are my biggest problem. I didn't like how Anguirus and Varan, who were absent from a movie for SO long, got replaced by Ghidorah and Mothra, in the process making Ghidorah a good guy! What?! Mechagodzilla is one thing but Ghidorah?! The guardian monsters are smaller and weaker too (ex. Baragon doesn't have his fire breath in this movie!).
Despite this, GMK is still a worthy addition to the series and worth a watch.
