Now this is a true classic. For years, Godzilla has battled his archenemy King Ghidorah for Earth's survival. In the past, the King of the Monsters required help from other creatures in order to defeat the three-headed tyrant, but this time he will fight alone for the first time in a battle that shakes the foundations of time.
When a mysterious UFO appears, the military goes in to investigate. Out comes people from the future who warn Japan of an incoming doom caused by Godzilla. With Japan's permission, they set out to try and erase Godzilla from history by using time travel to prevent his mutation by the atomic bomb. However, not all is as it seems. The warning they gave was a load of crap. They wanted to get rid of Godzilla so that their monster King Ghidorah can destroy Japan. Luck is on Japan's side as Godzilla is reborn and heads off to destroy his three-headed nemesis once and for all.
The story is rather intriguing and it's cool that they explain Godzilla's origin a little more. Seeing the King of the Monsters before he got mutated is a true pleasure. The action scenes are a must-see. Building's getting smashed and Godzilla and Ghidorah beating each other to a pulp are what it's all about. The use of music is great, ranging from slow and mysterious to action-packed and menacing. There's also a nice little joke about Steven Spielberg somewhere in the middle of the film.
I do have a few problems with this installment of the series. Some of the dialogue is pretty crappy, corny lines and over-the-top voices throughout the film. There are also a few dumb moments and a bit of a plot hole with the whole time traveling thing.
Nonetheless, this is still a worthy edition for the series. With great action, story, music, effects, and a few touching moments, Godzilla vs King Ghidorah is a true Godzilla classic. All hail the King of the Monsters.
