This keeps getting weirder and better whenever I watch it.

After the dreadful "All Monsters Attack," things could only go uphill again for Godzilla, and "Godzilla vs Hedorah" is indeed a clear improvement. There's certainly something like a halfway coherent plot again, for a change. The story's environmental theme also serves as the foundation for an appropriate ecological message. And the kiddie focus of its predecessors has also been scaled back somewhat; the movie is correspondingly much more serious in terms of its subject. However, "Godzilla vs. Hedorah" is still not a complete success. The monster action bored me too much for that. Hedorah is also not necessarily my favorite antagonist in the series. Still, it was enough for a somewhat entertaining movie.

Imagine fighting for your life and you just see a giant lizard defying the laws of physics to fly.

Godzilla, now a hero to Japanese children everywhere, must fight a trash monster from the sea. Yeah. On paper this one has the markings of another "bad" Showa-era Godzilla flick, save for one factor: psychedelia. This is where the Godzilla franchise officially dropped acid. It's fuckin' nuts and I love every second of it.

There's no place else to go and pretty soon we'll all be dead, so forget it! Enjoy yourself! Let's sing and dance while we can! Come on, blow your mind!

The 11th of the Godzilla franchise is easily the most trippy, and most divisive. Hedorah (AKA: The Smog Monster) is spawned from pollution and More

==Please note: This review is for the original Japanese subbed version.==

Finally, Godzilla has come back to his horror roots. Even if it's only briefly and not himself being the terror, it is so good to see this use the kid-oriented previous films to its advantage in terms of shock value. Not to More
