Godzilla Vs. Hedorah ((INSTALL))

In 1998, a reviewer for Stomp Tokyo wrote that the film has "many obvious, crippling flaws" but praised the monster action, and commended the lack of reliance on stock footage and the effort put into the animated segments.[18] In 2004, Stuart Galbraith IV, writing for DVD Talk, stated that the film "earns points for trying something new, to break away from what was fast becoming a tired formula. The film isn't as entertaining as Godzilla vs. Gigan or Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla, but it is more original and daring, and ... fans will want to pick [it] up."[19]

Godzilla vs. Hedorah

American Kaiju called the film "a confused Godzilla non-epic that doesn't seem to be sure just who it was made for in the first place. "DVD Talk said it "earns points for trying something new, to break away from what was fast becoming a tired formula. The film isn't as entertaining as Godzilla vs. Gigan or Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla, but it is more original and daring, and fans will want to pick it up."

substitutes the original's nuclear holocaust fears for pollution and environmental ones with a giant sludge tadpole born of sewage viciously mutilating half of japan while the population is distracted by the pastel colors and psychedelic grooviness of 60s consumerism that has repackaged very real threats (like environmental destruction or, uh, giant monsters) as goofy things you watch on tv or hear in a song. some of the wildest imagery and brutal destruction of the franchise (including on-screen acidic sludge melting of civilians???) all in service of godzilla telling us to stop all the littering. might be my favourite godzilla sequel tbh.

Godzilla: "hey hedorah, get over here and fight me, you ugly ass hunk of sludge"Hedorah: "but no! I am merely a manifestation of mankind's neglect for the planet!"Godzilla: "me too bitch! come over here and fight me!" 041b061a72
