Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Monster (1965)

Surprisingly incoherent and boring

Excellent, Without a doubt!!

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

One of the best Godzilla sequels. A fun monster rally that introduces the title monster, King Ghidorah, a three-headed dragon from space. There's a lot of silliness in this involving a Martian princess and the two singing fairy twins from the last two Mothra movies. They can communicate with the monsters. They play a big part in the film, convincing Godzilla and Rodan to join forces with Mothra and save Earth from Ghidorah. This would mark Godzilla's official turn to hero for future sequels. The special effects are a lot of fun. If you see the American version you'll get lots of amusing dubbing. As with most of these Godzilla movies, there's a lot of time before any monsters show up. I haven't seen one of the sequels yet that couldn't have benefited from losing 10 or 15 minutes of people standing around talking. At least with the American versions the most boring segments have some cheesy entertainment value from the silly dubbed voices. Anyway, it's all harmless fun with nice visuals and ideas. The selling point, of course, is when Godzilla & co. do their thing. The monster battles are awesome. The rock fight between Godzilla and Rodan is especially goofy. The climactic battle has Godzilla, Rodan, and Mothra versus King Ghidorah -- what's not to love about that?

The best Godzilla movie is the 1998 remake. Maybe you don't agree that's OK. But if you are really mad about it get over it you pee pee heads. This is the second R.o.d.a.n movie. It is also the third M.o.t.h.r.a movie. It is also the fifth Godzilla movie. It is very good. It is not as good as the original R.o.d.a.n. It is not as good as Destroy all monsters. That would be the Forth R.o.d.a.n movie. It would also be the fifth M.o.t.h.r.a movie. It would also be the ninth Godzilla movie. Godzilla final wars is also better. That is part 28 to the Japan Godzilla series. It would also be the seventh R.o.d.a.n movie. It would also be the 14th M.o.t.h.r.a movie. Godzilla vs M.o.t.h.r.a is also better. That's the second M.o.t.h.r.a movie. It is also the forth Godzilla movie. This is still a very good movie. It is very well written. It a lot of fun. A three headed giant spaces monster called King G.h.i.d.o.r.a.h flies to earth to destroy man kind. Now Godzilla M.o.t.h.r.a and R.o.d.a.n most fight together to stop him. All the M.o.t.h.r.a movies are good. All the R.o.d.an movies are good. And most of the Godzilla movies are good. See this movie. It's a great movie. A classic.

Sequel to both "Mothra Vs. Godzilla" & "Rodan" sees the debut of Ghidorah, a three-headed monster from outer space bent on the destruction of the Earth. All that stands in its way are Godzilla and Rodan, who have both re-awakened nearby. Can Mothra(with the help of the "Twin Fairies") persuade Godzilla & Rodan to stop fighting, and unite to defeat this common enemy, before all is lost? Convoluted but entertaining film with lots of action was the first to portray Godzilla at all sympathetically, though he wouldn't become the Earth's protector just yet. Nice to see Rodan back too, though Ghidorah would return as well in next entry.

Ghidorah: The Three-Headed Monster was a turning point in the Godzilla series. This is where the monster rumble was born. Godzilla, Mothra (in larvae form), and Rodan team up to battle a new monster named Ghidrah (or Ghidorah in the Japanese version). Ghidorah is an impressive beast - a colossal 3-headed dragon that spits yellow gravity beams. This is Rodan's first appearance since 1956. Unfortunately, the design of the suit was changed to look less menacing. This is when the series begins to gear towards children. Godzilla becomes a reluctant hero. In a rare instance of continuity in the series, Mothra vs. Godzilla is referenced. Invasion of the Astro-Monster (or Monster Zero) followed a year later and these 3 films really form a trilogy.The DVD includes both the Japanese and American versions of Ghidorah. The Japanese versions runs about 93 minutes and the English dubbed version runs about 85. This was the last Godzilla film to be extensively altered when brought to America. Both versions have their positives. Also included is an Image Gallery and Slide Show of movie posters, an Eiji Tsuburaya biography, and the original Japanese trailer.
