Godzilla 1985 (1984) was the rebirth of the classic Japanese movie monster Godzilla (a.k.a. Gojira). The mean monster is back to wreck havoc upon the Earth. Toho Studios decided to bring back the bad guy version after years of making monster hero movies. This time the big guy is flying solo as it returns to the old stomping grounds destroying the human race. In scenes that seemed spliced in more American audiences, Raymond Burr is back advising the U.S. Military about how strong and powerful Godzilla really is. But he's not needed as the big beast is sent back to is watery grave when a high powered nuclear weapon is used about the big guy. But don't worry folks he'll be back bigger and better than ever!
What a treat it was to see a Godzilla movie on the big screen. I was ten going on eleven when I watched this movie with my younger brother. Too bad Godzilla had to go out like a chump. He was the only reason I wanted to see the movie. He's one cool atomic fire breathing dude. I didn't like the horrible dubbed dialog and the scenes involving the U.S. Miitary (filmed on some extremely cheap looking sets). This was the old school Godzilla, scale models, toy cars, the works! Not as great as the earlier monster mêlées.
