Higher Definition on Low Quality.......2007-06-01

The WETA folks must have took the year off when they were working on King Kong because this movie looks horrible in HD. The compositing errors and weak green screen work are only highlighted by the HD DVD's quality.

The Bigger they are. . . . The harder they . . . well, you know!.......2007-04-22

This movie is good.... The people on the island were more interesting than anything. King Kong did look cool and a little sense of sadness with his face expression and everything. I bought the HD DVD because they said this movie was amazing on it! Well, I must say that this HD DVD rocks! The clarity and clearness of the picture. Uhm, wow! The color of the pictures so alive! Uhm, wow! Even lol Jack Black look pretty good on HD. Uhm, another wow is the Actors. If you love the movie KING KONG, but the HD, you won't be disappointed. Can we be honest for a moment? I dont even care for the movie, but HD is AWESOME when it comes to the Big Black Kong of this movie! BUY IT! Atleast just for the HD! I give HIGH props for the picture of the Definition of this movie!

Great Movie, Great HD, why so few extras?.......2007-04-11

I repeat why is are there so few extras. Universal has provided HD-DVDs with all the extras, until now. A truely perfect HD-DVD would contain all the extars from the past releases.

A Whole Lotta Story...Well Done.......2007-04-09

This one's a big movie! Three hours and eight minutes of a very watchable version of King Kong.

Excellent HD DVD video and audio (Dolby Digital Plus 5.1) transfer. Features Universal's "U Control" interactive content picture in picture and art gallery.

A great cast does an axcellent job all around! Excellent action...many locales. Great special effects, although a couple of the scenes are too computery to captivate through subsequent viewings.

I highly recommend this film; however, this film does contain a few scenes that are unsuitable for impressionable young children.

Great Movie.......2007-03-23

Great Movie. The picture quality of this HD DVD is unbelievable. I show scenes from it any time a friend comes over

Movies don't come any bigger than Peter Jackson's King Kong, a three-hour remake of the 1933 classic that marries breathtaking visual prowess with a surprising emotional depth. Expanding on the original story of the blonde beauty and the beast who falls for her, Jackson creates a movie spectacle that matches his Lord of the Rings films and even at times evokes their fantasy world while celebrating the glory of '30s Hollywood. Naomi Watts stars as Ann Darrow, a vaudeville actress down on her luck in Depression-era New York until manic filmmaker Carl Denham (a game but miscast Jack Black) entices her with a lead role. Dazzled by the genius of screenwriter Jack Driscoll (Adrien Brody), Ann boards the tramp steamer S.S. Venture, which she--and most of the wary crew--believes is headed for Singapore. Denham, however, is in search of the mythic Skull Island, hoping to capture its wonders on film and make a fortune. What he didn't count on were some scary natives who find that the comely Darrow looks like prime sacrifice material for a mysterious giant creature....

There's no point in rehashing the entire plot, as every movie aficionado is more than familiar with the trajectory of King Kong; the challenge facing Jackson, his screenwriters, and the phenomenal visual-effects team was to breathe new life into an old, familiar story. To that degree, they achieve what could be best called a qualified success. Though they've assembled a crackerjack supporting cast, including Thomas Kretschmann as the Venture's hard-bitten captain and young Jamie Bell as a plucky crewman, the first third of the movie is rather labored, with too much minute detail given over to sumptuous re-creations of '30s New York and the unexciting initial leg of the Venture's sea voyage. However, once the film finds its way to Skull Island (which bears more than a passing resemblance to LOTR's Mordor), Kong turns into a dazzling movie triumph, by turns terrifying and awe-inspiring. The choreography and execution of the action set pieces--including one involving Kong and a trio of Tyrannosaurus Rexes, as well as another that could be charitably described as a bug-phobic's nightmare--is nothing short of landmark filmmaking, and a certain Mr. Spielberg should watch his back, as Kong trumps most anything that has come before it.

Despite the visual challenges of King Kong, the movie's most difficult hurdle is the budding romance between Ann and her simian soulmate. Happily, this is where Jackson unqualifiedly triumphs, as this unorthodox love story is tenderly and humorously drawn, by turns sympathetic and wondrous. Watts, whose accessibility balances out her almost otherworldly loveliness, works wonders with mere glances, and Andy Serkis, who digitally embodies Kong here much as he did Gollum in the LOTR films, breathes vibrant life into the giant star of the film without ever overplaying any emotions. The final, tragic act of the film, set mostly atop the Empire State Building, is where Kong earns its place in movie history as a work that celebrates both the technical and emotional heights that film can reach. --Mark Englehart

A timeless classic.......2007-07-01

I grew up loving the early ape films King Kong (1933) and Mighty Joe Young (1949). King Kong is a classic retelling of the Beauty and the Beast story and the original was groundbreaking in its use of special effects. Remaking a classic will always attract harsh critics.

For me, a lover both of classic films and of modern science fiction, I place King Kong (2005) among the best films I have seen in years. In the cinema, this was a true spectacle to behold. The action and CGI special effects were astounding. Peter Jackson took a fairly sparse story and fleshed it out. I appreciated the longer back-story to the characters in New York prior to the sea voyage to Skull Island.

The exposure of themes relating to racism, animal and ecological abuse, and treatment of women was obvious, but not preachy. Despite this being an action film, these themes seemed to me as large as Kong was himself.

Jackson tweaked the storyline a bit and improved on the original. The introduction of the writer (Brody) as love interest instead of the ship captain made more sense and was simply a better story. With the original film, I was quite moved as a kid when Kong died. With this version, I was at least as moved or more as an adult. The relationship with Kong and Ann was portrayed better. I believed that they had made a bond with each other. The moment of Kong's demise is one of the most touching moments I have seen in a film in years.

Finally, James Newton Howard's soundtrack is quite moving, with beautiful, stirring melodies befitting this grand film. Worth listening to in its own right. I would have liked to watch the film with an isolated music score. Unfortunately, this was not included as an option on any edition so far.

Editions:
Two-Disc Special Edition (2006)
For the collector, this included the Production Diaries and several bonus features. A must-have if you love this film and want more background information.

3-Disc Deluxe Extended Edition (2006)
There is no overlap to what is on the 2-disc version, so this was a worthwhile second purchase for me. I enjoyed seeing the deleted scenes. The slightly longer (13 min.) version was intereresting to see. I especially wanted the audio commentary track. No regrets here for having bought both the 2-disc and 3-disc versions, because they each offered different material.

King Kong.......2007-06-12

King Kong Jack Black, Naomi Watts, Adrien Brady, Kyle Chandler
Peter Jackson
In the movie King Kong there is excitement, romance, it is daring, and very, very funny. It is about a women named Ann and she goes on an adventure with a director named Carl Denham which is played by Jack Black, an actor named Bruce Baxter and he is played by Kyle Chandler. There is also a writer named Jack who is played by Adrien Brady. Also, there is a huge crew that goes along with them. They are sailing to the lost and very dangerous island of Skull Island to film a movie. There they run into natives to Skull Island and the natives attack some of the crewmembers (the ones that got off of the boat). Thank goodness the rest of the crewmembers show up with their guns and scare the natives away. They then quickly run to the boat and start to sail away. Later on in the day when they are on the boat and they are almost out of site of that dreaded island the natives take Ann, she was in her room changing when she heard some weird noises coming from outside of her room. They swam back to the shore with her. The bizarre old lady that had like really possessed looking eyes chanted theses really weird words at Ann and the really eerie men in the tribe strung her up on this enormous pole and lowered her onto the other side of the colossal wall. The people began chanting these really weird words and a gigantic gorilla appeared. He ripped her down from the pole and took her away. The crewmembers came and crossed over the pole to save Ann.
I thought that this movie was really stupendous. The actors and actresses did an amazing job. In this film there are dinosaurs and you now what those dinosaurs looked real all right.
I would recommend this movie to anyone; even my 3-year-old cousin loves it. If you like movies that are romantic, exciting, daring and even funny then you will absolutely love this movie.

There are very few remakes that live up to the original's reputation and for many good reasons:

1. we already know, more or less, how the story goes.
2. the original is often an almost perfect film which explains why the movie is being remade: many fans could be suckered into seeing an inferior remake.

All great remakes not only must put a spin on the original story but they also must prove that a retelling of the story was necessary. Off the top of my head I can think of two films that meet this criteria: The Fly (1986) and The Thing (1982).

King Kong (2005) is also one of those rare remakes.

The most refreshing part of this movie is that there is an underlying and always present emotional dimension to this version which the 1933 version lacked. Unlike most movies today, the characters (especially Anne) are given plenty of time to develop so that we actually care about them when the action gets underway. The interpersonal relationships certainly have a greater depth than the original. Perhaps the most remarkable thing about this movie is that there is an emotional relationship between Kong and Anne that, I'm thrilled to say, somehow works. I absolutely loved how they could share something as simple as sunset together and take just enough time to enjoy the wonder of it all.

The characters are more fluid, less one-dimensional, more nonchalant, and just plain better than the original's wooden actors ("say, I think I love you" as an example). When I say this, I include King Kong who is a surprisingly good actor (even if he is CGI). He's not portrayed as some misunderstood creature (like the horrible Godzilla remake) or a ruthless creature (King Kong 1933) but like we would expect: an animal. Nothing more, nothing less. At the end of the movie I discovered, to my utter astonishment, that I actually almost cried when the CGI creature was slipping off the Empire State Building. And I am a 23 year old, 230 pound, 6'3", adult male and I never cry at movies!

It's worth mentioning that this film contains some of the best CGI stuff to date and also, what have to be some of the most beautiful scenes in all cinematic history. I especially loved seeing New York City during the 1930s.

Technically the condensed 1933 version may be a "better" film but, of the two, I prefer this one. Go gorilla and get this king-sized monster movie.

The extended version of Peter Jackson's King Kong adds 13 minutes to the running time--fortunately those 13 minutes include two dynamic action scenes and no material has been added to the movie's belabored set-up, which tries to give depth to these quintessentially b-movie characters with a clumsy patchwork of melodrama and in-jokes. But once movie-maker Carl Denham (Jack Black, School of Rock) and his crew finally arrive at Skull Island, the movie kicks into gear with spectacular action, technical wizardry, and genuine feeling. Though Kong seems crafted to dazzle the eye on the giant screen, the overlong structure improves when you can take an intermission at will. At home, each scene can be approached on its own terms, be it the insanely choreographed battle between Kong and three T. Rexes or the subtle and multi-layered interplay between Ann Darrow (Naomi Watts, Mulholland Drive) and Kong (played, through motion-capture technology, by Andy Serkis, who previously played the similarly animated Gollum in Jackson's Lord of the Rings). The addition of a rampaging ceratops and an underwater race with what the movie's crew dubbed a "piranhadon" not only add more eye candy, but provide some valuable moments of character development. But in the end, that's frosting on the cake; when the movie's weaknesses and strengths are weighed, the emotional power of the fantastical relationship between a woman and a giant ape is a real cinematic achievement. --Bret Fetzer

Thanks to a greedy Pokémon collector, Earth's weather patterns are askew and its population doomed unless Pokémon trainer Ash can return three glass balls to their proper place in this second Pokémon feature. Unlike the television show, the movie features little violence and no Pokémon battles in the classic sense. Instead, the focus is an environmental one: what happens when humans interfere with the harmony of Earth's elements--in this case fire, ice, and lightning. Even Team Rocket have a (temporary, to be sure) change of heart, joining Ash and Misty in their effort to free the three imprisoned birdlike Pokémon who regulate those elements. The good intentions of this 76-minute film, however, don't make it any less dull for grownups (even though this feature is better than the first). Even more mind-numbing than the feature is the lead-in short, "Pikachu's Rescue Adventure," in which Pikachu and Pokémon friends follow Team Rocket's feline down a hole into a Munchkinland-type place. Without the humans for dialogue, viewers must endure a full 20 minutes of nothing but the squawks and squeaks of pocket monsters. As the movie's title song says, "We all live in a Pokémon world." (Ages 3 and older.) --Kimberly Heinrichs

Great movie to add to your Pokemon collection.......2007-06-21

I enjoyed this one just as I enjoyed the first movie. As some have said before...it is more lighthearted than the first one which is nice. It starts with the three legenderies; moltres, zaptos, and articuno being captured and its up to ash to "save the world" lugia makes an appearance and a powerful one at that. the movie didnt fail to entertain and i reccomend it highly to any fan. its going on the shelf with the rest of my pokemon collection.

A true fan of Pokemon would enjoy this movie. It is now my two son's
favorite of all the Pokemon movies in their collection of movies.

Enter the chosen one.......2007-02-17

This was the second pokemom movie to be released. This year celeberate the 7 anniversary of this movie and abouth the 9 or tenth anniversity of the TV. Series. A word of warming even though this movie got a g rating I do not recommend this movie to any one under the age of 13 due to heavy fantasy violence and thematic elements. For those of you that did not watch pokemon season 2 when it first aired or when it was on cartoon newtwork back in 2003 or 2002 in re runs you might not be aware that the line up has changed. This movie takes place during the orange island series. It has been a few months since the incident with mewtwo that end in a heroic battle. After ash nobly scarificed his own life to stop the fightig. Just to inform you ash was revived at the end of the first movie by pokemon tears and has never been killed again since the first movie. We also have a new character in this movie taking brock's place. The movie begins with Ash Misty and a new characters Tracey a pokemon artist who is substituing for Brock after he decide to stay behind and assit proffesor ivy near the end of the first season. While the three of them are traveling to the Orange Islands the boat is blown off course in a storm and lands on Saumdo island. There Ash is choosen to be part of a festival. The future of the world is at stake and evil colector has captured the legendary pokemon Zapados and Moltres and is going after Articuno too lure out the beast from the sea the fourth new legendary bird Lugia. This causes the balance of nature to become unstable. It's up to ash and Lugia to restore the peace among the three legendary birds. Will he succed or is the eartgh doomed tio be utterly destroyed. Also to inform you this also was the first time team rocket switched sides and went from being villians to heroes. If you like this I also recommend the other movies and the Yugio movie

The monster-about-town becomes doting dad when he adopts orphan lizard Minilla, the result of a radioactive storm caused by a scientific experiment gone wrong. This decidedly juvenile affair shows signs of the series' cost-cutting measures and Godzilla himself has been redesigned to reflect his new, younger audience, with an oversize head and big, doll-like eyes. This kindler, gentler lizard king proceeds to protect the happy-go-lucky kid from the newly mutated giant insects of the island and teaches him how to breathe fire. Much of the film is played for comedy--Minilla blowing smoke rings instead of flames, skipping rope with Dad's tail, skittering about like a mischievous little kid as put-upon Godzilla tries to keep the tyke focused--and is obviously aimed at Godzilla's enormous adolescent audience. But as always, the picture delivers great monster battles, notably with the mutant spider giant Kumonga. --Sean Axmaker

Go after monster the old school way.......2007-04-28

This movie has a lot of old school fraknstein monster violence in it. From the old trying to take down a monster with the old shoot gun to the flameing torches. In this movie a gropup of reasearcher are in the middle of wheather project. All goes othe than a couple of attack my 15 feet tall prey mantisis. After a malfucation goes wrong during the experment on of the radioactive capsules goes of wrong. They island is incased in a nuclear storm with nuclear lighting a boil hot water near boil point. Shortly after word a baby godzilla is found and attacked by the now enlarged praying mantisis. Now the scientist with aid of a local reporter and young women must make it off the island will avoid godzilla who comes ashore and adopts the young baby godzilla. Can they scientist get of the island before Godzilla the the pray mantisis or a gigantic spider known as Spiga or Kumoga in godzilla conpedium vaporise crushed or devour them to death. Find out in the thrilling conclusion. A word of advice don't spend more than 25 dollars for a copy of this dvd unless your a real godzilla fantic like me or if the positive rate is very high of the copy your intersted in like say about 90% or higher.

THE ONLY THING MISSING IS THE WIFE.......2007-04-19

It's been said many times that this is the worst Godzilla Movie in the series. Seeing as how Godzilla flicks are never striving for great artistic merit along the lines of The Godfather and The Godfather II, there's no need to call any Godzilla movie bad. Let's face it. All Godzilla movies are bad in some way. That's what makes them so fun. Men in rubber suits and monsters on wires destroying tiny models. Probably my least favorite in the series is the Original, which takes itself far too seriously. Although it scared the beejezus out of me when I was 5 years old. I was watching Godzilla movies in the 60's, folks.

But, I have to tell you, when I was a kid, this is the one they would always show on TV along with MONSTER ZERO and DESTROY ALL MONSTERS. It's so bad it's THE BEST!! This is one of my favorites. The costumes and the special effects are so rank they stink up the screen with an amateurish zipper skin monster movie beauty. This movie ROCKS!! Although, I love the whole Godzilla Legacy. The only thing that maybe kills some of the joy is Minya's annoying little whining cry. WAWA. WAWA. Wow, just as weird as GODZILLA VS HEDORAH (or SMOG MONSTER). And far more friendly.

If you have a little boy. Forget Disney or Pixar animation, this should be the first movie he ever sees. How young is too young for SON OF GODZILLA?

LONG LIVE THE KILL OF ALL MONSTERS!!

ENJOY.

A Really Well Done Movie.......2007-01-31

I have been a fan of Godzilla since the 80s and I have to say as far as the movies when Godzilla is a good guy, this is extremely underated. The plot makes sense and the monster battles are as great as always. This is the debut of Minya (or Minilla), which throws people off the movie since he isn't that popular with American fans. However, this film also introduces two fan favorite monsters as well, Kamacuras (Gimantis in this movie) and Kumunga (Spiega in this movie). Another thing that some don't like is the way Godzilla looks, which was intended by the creators to look friendly, just really looks ugly. I highly recommend this movie to fans of the genre and Godzilla fans in general that have heard bad or good things about. I say, give it a try and watch it for yourself. I did, and really enjoyed the movie for it's very interesting plot and new monster that are introduced. For a children's film, this still has an adult feel to it which makes it fun for all ages. I love it!

Son of Godzilla.......2006-08-25

I have fond memories of watching this when I was a child. Godzilla's son is so cute to watch. All the giant size insects are cool. My son loves it as well. Godzilla is always the star and the good guy to me.

Previously filmed in 1933 (as Island of Lost Souls) and 1977, the classic H.G. Wells story was filmed again for this graphic 1996 version. The film was roasted by critics, but it's an utterly fascinating failure, largely due to the performances of David Thewlis, Val Kilmer, and especially Marlon Brando in the title role as a mad (and in this case outrageously bizarre) scientist whose experiments in crossbreeding humans with animals have gone terribly awry. Thewlis plays the wayward scholar who is rescued at sea by Kilmer and brought to Moreau's island to discover the doctor's unnatural "children." Fairuza Balk plays Moreau's half-cat daughter, but it's Brando and Kilmer (in one scene doing a killer Brando impersonation) who steal the show, along with the astounding makeup effects created by Stan Winston. A guilty pleasure by any measure, this movie has definite cult-favorite potential, and in addition to offering a "director's cut" with previously unseen footage, the DVD includes audio commentary by director John Frankenheimer, who replaced the original director on short notice and completed this film under highly stressful conditions. --Jeff Shannon

Disturbing& dysfunction & dark = perfection.......2007-01-25

A big-budget remake of the H.G. Wells story (previously filmed in 1977), The Island of Dr. Moreau follows a shipwrecked sailor (David Thewlis) who stumbles upon a mysterious island. He's shocked to discover that a brilliant scientist (Marlon Brando) and his lab assistant (Val Kilmer) have found a way to combine human and animal DNA -- with horrific results.

..I sat down and watched this. I couldn't believe all the critics hated it and it was rated in the top 10 worst films of that year by all of them. Saddly, I found out that they were right. This is amazingly bad. I just don't know how you can go from pre-production to post and still produced vomit like this.

very interesting adaptation.......2006-08-22

It is sad and fascinating that so many reviewers could not only not enjoy this interesting adaptation of the Wells novel but were upset!! It probably depends on what one got out of the original novel. Wells wrote a tragedy and this film underscores that folly is at the root of both tragedy and comedy.

Moreau plays God in his dream of engineering a super race. But he is imperfect and his creatures are only thinking beasts. Thus he must theatrically play God to them in order to control his failures. This is a metaphor for the human condition and it is a disturbing fact to face that whether or not there is a God, religion has always been used by elites to control people.

Moreau has trapped himself in a tragedy which is an absurdity. It is a kind of maddness that might be portrayed as horror, or tragedy, or comedy. This film tries to put them all together, which is very interesting, but will not work for everyone and might just seem confusing, and then all the technical flaws pop out -- but I only take off one star for them.

I give it four stars for being interesting and for some memorable performances. Trapped in this mad mess and in isolation Brando and Kilmer that they were led to by their idealism they have gone off the deep end and have become transformed from men of science into characters totally involved in their dream gone mad. Right, you can't tell that Kilmer was ever a brilliant neurologist -- that is the point. That is the horror, he has become a comical character.

There is a bit of this is Bridge on the River Kwai. Guinness is so swept up in his dream of showing British "can do" that he forgets he is helping the enemy. He is a tragic figure, but one can almost laugh and say "what is that clown doing" as he inspires his men to build the bridge. Harrison Ford in Mosquito Coast similarly is a tragic/comic person in pursuing his dreams.

If you follow the concept of the film closely, Brando and Kilmer and this film do a better job at mixing the tragic and the comic. And the film is an opportunity to think about broader social and historical issues if one is so inclined, though not so much about human nature per se as the above. Of course not everyone is!! If the world we live in sometimes seem mad, to what extent is this because it is so much the product of grand dreams gone sour? A lot, if you think about it.

It is often said that Wells wrote science fiction, serious literature that is, not escapist science fantasy. Moreau is sort of the Frankenstein theme, which is a serious one, but with religion thrown in, which added newer layers.

Quick and to the point.......2006-06-25

No movie is going to be a direct representation of the novel on which it is based. This doesn't include basic steps to modernize the film so that it makes a better connection with the viewer. The basic Wells story is here with some modern upgrades, but some of the elements of this story are a little distracting.

Some of the actors were made for the role. Marlon Brando was becoming more and more reclusive around the time of the film. This quiriness fits the character of Doctor Moreau prefectly. It is if he was made for the role. Val Kilmer is a talented actor, but I am not sure he really fits this picture. He does a fabulous Marlon Brando impersonation, but his quick role seemed more of a distraction to the film. The other actors move the movie along, but none really stand out.

The movie is quick. By the time we get into the film, it's over. Having read the book, this didn't bother me too much. I don't know if someone unfamiliar with the story would have been engaged enough to follow. Also, the movie was so quick, that I really didn't see when the character of Mr. Douglas felt a connection with the beast-men. This was a little distracting.

Taken as a whole, the movie was a good tale about humanity and our own inner animal. Looking at this as a philosophical tale about humanity, I found it entertaining.

MARVELOUS MISFIRE.......2006-01-30

THE ISLAND OF DR. MOREAU is one of those really botched films that is so fascinating in its ineptitude, it's actually quite fun. Marlon Brando who utilized short wave radio to help him remember his lines is in fine campy form as the mad Dr. Moreau who experiments with animals to make a perfect human being. He is aided by the sadistic and nearly mad Val Kilmer, obviously having fun playing such a twisted role. David Thewlis who hated the movie and refused to see the finished product looks appropriately befuddled as the sole survivor of an airplane crash that is brought to the island for his DNA--to prevent Brando's lovely daughter (Faizura Balk) from regressing into her feline stage.
The makeup from wizard Stan Winston is pretty effective and the movie's "message" is clear: man is already half animal. While achieving status as sort of a camp classic, DR. MOREAU is a strange and guilty pleasure.

Good movie, sub-par release.......2007-03-20

GvsMG2 is one of my favorite Heisei Godzilla films. I used to watch it vigorously as a kid when it was released on VHS in '99.

When Tristar announced they had acquired the rights to several G-films and were releasing them to DVD, I was a little disappointed that this was not on the list. When they finally did release this particular movie, I couldn't wait to get it. Unfortunately, when compared to the Tristar DVDs of Godzilla vs. the Smog Monster or the original Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla, this one falls short of my expectations.

First of all, the fact that both Japanese and English audio is available is a plus. However, they're NOT in 5.1 surround but 2.0 stereo and handled pretty poorly with lots of unequalized sound and echos. I won't talk about the English dub except say that it's god-awful. Even worse, the subtitles are taken from the English dub and NOT translated from the Japanese version, which means that what you're reading in English isn't what they're saying in Japanese. Alot of things are mistranslated or overly simplified and sound just plain stupid.

Second, the anamorphic widescreen is again a plus, but the quality of the print is not pristine, surprising for a film that's only a little older than 10 years. The print itself is the same video print Tristar released on VHS, with bland fonted credits at the beginning and worst of all the removal of the closing credits, replaced by a quick copyright statement. For a movie like this where the credits are rolling over an actual scene from the film, this is unforgivable. It was terrible on VHS, and why they did the same for the DVD is inexplicable. As a side note, all the other Tristar DVDs (excluding the 2 double-sided discs for GvsKG/GvsMothra and GvsSG/GvsDestroyah) come with the complete credits, especially the newer films.

Special features, like all the Tristar releases, are non-existent, which is a real shame. I don't understand why Tristar doesn't include making of features on ALL their discs because the Toho R2 releases have a wealth of making of featurettes and trailers, so they do exist and are available.

In conclusion, while better than the first crop of DVDs released by Tristar in the late '90s/early '00s, this one falls well below their better quality releases of some of the older films as well as the newer ones. If you could care less about print and audio quality, special features, and correct subtitles go ahead and buy this DVD. If you want the definitive version, get a region-free player and buy the R2 DVD.

Great Godzilla movie.......2007-03-11

Better than the first Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla.My son really like Rodan and Fire Rodan.

The Mother of Godzilla Adventures!!!!!.......2006-08-21

This is a really good movie. Cool MechaGodzilla and great special effects. This is the only Godzilla 90's movie where you don't see wires every time you see a flying monster But the only reason that I give this movie four stars is the look of Rodan (Scratch that. Radon) He looks really weird in this movie. But a big leap on Baby Godzilla. He doesn't look like Cookie Monster anymore. Awesome Finale!!

Boring and Cheesy.......2006-06-21

I don't know what has happened. When this first came out on video in the late 90's I loved it. It was my all time favorite Godzilla movie. But now, several years later, it makes me cringe.

The movie starts out great, with the Mechagodzilla score blaring as we see the new-and-improved Hesei Mechagodzilla. In fact, my favorite aspect of the movie. After that point, we are introduced to dull characters speaking cheesy dialogue. I am fine with the dubbed track, as I expect the sub-par dubbing that Tri-Star made for these films. But the original Japanese track with subtitles is just as bad, which was suprising. As far as the characters go in the movie, most have gone through little development before the movie ends. At least the human characters do. Godzilla, Baby Godzilla and Rodan show a lot of emotion in this film, and the Godzilla suit was tweaked to give it a more feral look. The suits all look great, and they are handled well, though Rodan looks very fake while flying, since his wings barely flap at all, a frequent problem I've noticed in movies with flying kaiju. The updated Mchagodzilla looks feirce and powerful, but he does not instill the same amount of awe as the original.
But who cares about all that. Some people buy this movie just for the monster fights. Sadly, they aren't very notworty. The firt fight, between Godzilla and Rodan, is the only one worth pointing out, as it is fast paced and brutal, but the fights between Godzilla and MEchagodzilla are simply lame. They consist of the two monsters firing their energy beams at each other until one is incapacitated. The whole final battle is just spent firing beams, and is very unoriginal and unexciting.
So, in conclusion, both the human plots and monster fights are fairly boring, and the only upside is the one intense battle in the beggining of the film and the great score.

Could be better, could be worse. .......2006-05-24

A middle of the road Godzilla flick, this film sees one of Godzilla's classic foes return, marking the third time Godzilla has clashed with his mechanical counterpart. This second incarnation of Mechagodzilla is a construction of the humans as opposed to aliens, and is designed to put an end to Godzilla's reign of destruction, as opposed to conquering the planet.

Based upon the technology left behind by Mecha-King Ghidora in 1991's Godzilla vs. King Ghidora, this version of Mechagodzilla is impervious to Godzilla's atomic breath weapon and is loaded with missiles, laser cannons, and a weapon called the plasma grenade that can absorb Godzilla's breath and then use it against him. It also has electrical cables called shock anchors that can pierce Godzilla's skin and hit him with a powerful electrical charge, and an ultimate weapon known as the G-Crusher that can paralyze Godzilla. Why have I gone to all this trouble to tell you about Mechagodzilla's weapons? I did that because in the end, they don't matter, and Godzilla trashes Mechagodzilla badly. There, I've spoiled the ending; I'm a bad man. I guess you probably guessed that, though, because it always seems that Godzilla finds a way to win, no matter how badly the deck is stacked against him. I know Godzilla is supposed to be the villain and all, but be honest, how many of us are really rooting for the humans to destroy him? I always cheer for Godzilla to teach those puny humans a lesson they should have learned a long time ago: You cannot kill Godzilla; you can only piss him off. Let him stomp Tokyo flat and find a nice place to live where he won't come and crush you. Problem solved.

A large chunk of the film's plot centers on a baby Godzilla found on a distant island, and the return of Rodan. Rodan and Godzilla have a violent custody battle over the baby, but by the time they're finished, those dastardly humans have stolen the kid (who has yet to hatch at that point). Godzilla and Rodan are both telepathically drawn to the baby, and the humans decide to use this to smash the nuclear leviathan once and for all. What's interesting is that the baby Godzilla actually seems afraid of Godzilla - maybe he thinks he'll be an abusive dad - and calls out to Rodan when he needs help. Rodan spoils the human's plans by snatching the baby, but Mechagodzilla proves to be far too much for the pterodactyl to handle - Rodan's "death" at Mechagodzilla's hands is pretty gruesome. In the end, Godzilla prevails with Rodan's help. The baby Godzilla seems apprehensive at following his adoptive father - it seems like he would much rather stay behind with the humans, but the scientist who's been working with him knows he must leave. The fear you can see in the baby's eyes as it approaches the shore to follow Godzilla out to sea is pretty touching.

I found this film to be entertaining enough, and the return of Rodan was cool. Mechagodzilla seemed a bit overpowered, and doesn't look nearly as slick as his third incarnation in the Millennium Series. As usual, I could have done with a bit less human drama and a bit more giant-monster action, but you can't have everything, right? Still, as far as Godzilla adventures go, this one is well-done and fairly satisfying, it just lacks that "little extra something" to catapult it to the level of such masterworks as "Godzilla vs. Destoroyah" and "Godzilla, Mothra, and King Ghidora: Giant Monsters all-out Attack".

Space Amoeba Bombs........2007-04-27

I'm a fan of the old 1950's style sci-fi (DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL, KRONOS, EARTH VS. THE FLYING SAUCERS, IT CAME FROM OUTER SPACE, IT CAME FROM BENEATH THE SEA, 20 MILLION MILES TO EARTH, etc.) and Japanese Hero shows like the original ULTRAMAN so I always enjoy a good monster romp. I recently rented Ishiro Honda's SPACE AMOEBA (also known as YOG: MONSTER FROM SPACE) in hopes of such an hour-and-a-half of monster fun and adventure. As expected, the movie did have some impressive looking monsters, but the romping, fun and adventure was less than exciting. The rubber-suited men portrayed a giant cuttlefish, a giant crab and a giant turtle (known respectively as Gezora, Ganime and Kameba), but strangely enough, no SPACE AMOEBA. Perhaps the blue, alien, space mist is supposed to be the SPACE AMOEBA, but the movie is never clear on this point. Nevertheless, space amoeba or no space amoeba, the picture is a total bore. I forward- advanced through the last 30 minutes in hopes of getting to the good stuff, but the film never delivered. Sure, there's a supposed monster battle at the end, but none of the creatures have any personality. Probably the best scene is where the giant crab fall over a cliff and lands on his back on a pile of gasoline barrels. The hero of the picture then shoots the barrels with a rifle blowing the helpless creature into a million pieces. This was Ishiro Honda's last picture and it's not hard to see why. If you want to see good, old-fashioned monsters watch ULTRAMAN series 1, volumes 1 & 2 or any of the classic 50's sci-fi mentioned above because the crisp, clean DVD transfer and DVD extras do not save SPACE AMOEBA from being a giant monster bomb.

One of my favorites.......2007-03-30

I'm not really going to add anything to what's already been etensively described in the other reviews here, except this: I am glad to have this film on DVD - I think it's a great old "bad" movie, beautifully filmed in Guam in the usual visually sensitive Toho manner. My only complaint (and basis for 4 instead of 5 stars) is that the English audio track on this DVD is not the AIP (Americal International Pictures) dubbing. For people who like these films (and who are Americans or grew up here) the best soundtracks to include on a DVD of such a film would appear to be (1) the original langauge soundtrack (here, Japanese, which this DVD has) and (2) the original dubbed soundtrack that was part of the movie when it was released here and later shown on TV in the US. In the case of this movie, the particular vocal and acting skills of the actors in the AIP dubbing really did add quite a bit of (probably not always intended) atmosphere and nuance to this film. ... In any case, I was glad to see this movie appearing on a DVD, particularly as it's been so nicely put together otherwise. I only wish that they had included the AIP English dubbing which has much more "personality" than the blander, more neutral-sounding English dub that made it onto this DVD. ... Notwithstanding the above, if you're interested in this film this DVD is very much worth getting.

A GIANT CRAB!!!!! CRAB!! CRAB!!!! CRAB!!!!.......2006-06-20

For the last time folks. Let's get it straight GANIMES (or Ganime) is a gigantic mutated CRAB!! He is absolutely NOT a lobster. He has no tail like a lobster and no big lobster claws. Why does everyone find it so confusing. Haven't you ever been to Red Lobster or a sushi restaurant? Ganimes is definately a crab. Ebirah is a giant lobster or shrimp (which is closely related to a lobster). "Ebi" means shrimp. Ebirah has a tail. So he cannot possibly be a crab. Get it strait folks.
Ganemes= crab
Ebirah= lobster

Apollo Meets Scrubbing Bubbles .......2006-03-29

"Space Amoeba" is one of the more surreal Japanese rubber monster movies featuring four monsters, though only three are made of latex. Filmed in Guam, this was the last non-Godzilla film to be made by the great Ishiro Honda. The DVD is extremely well done, especially considering the lack of extras on most DVDs of this genre. The movie is an excellent transfer and contains a commentary track (!) with Producer Fumio Tanaka, which is almost as entertaining as the film itself. There are also trailers, a documentary on the real animals that inspired the creatures in the film, and more.

The plot is essentially this: an unmanned spacecraft is intercepted by a monster, the space amoeba of the title (and apparently known as Yog in the original release), which looks like blue scrubbing bubbles invading a scarcely altered Apollo Command Service Module (CSM). When the spacecraft returns to earth with the Yog-spores it lands near an island which is slated to become a resort destination. The spores act to gigantify creatures that then trample all over the island, though avoiding each other for most of the movie (many villages are destroyed, however). The creatures are Gezora, a cuttlefish-like affair, Ganimes, a crab, and Kamoebas, a snapping turtle. Without question, Gezora is the most ridiculous creature I have ever seen onscreen (unless you count some of the creatures from "Ultraman"); I particularly enjoy watching him walk on his tendrils.

The main human characters are a couple of photographers, one of whom gets possessed by Yog, and the perky female advertising assistant. Ultimately the plot all comes to a head when the creatures converge on an active volcano along with the possessed guy; after all the monsters are immolated in the lava the island is ready for tourism.

The film lacks the typical Honda good-versus-evil rubber monster, with all monsters equally bad. Offsetting this oversight is the bonus commentary track which is much more interesting than I expected. It is in Japanese with English subtitles, but Tanaka shares many interesting tidbits about making these films which will please grade-Z movie fans. I was especially pleased that Tanaka noticed the resemblance between the star of the film, Akira Kubo ("Matango: The Fungus of Terror"; "Attack of the Mushroom People"), and Charlie Sheen (which cannot possibly be overlooked). He also had some other interesting comments relating to Apollo 11 and Apollo 13 (the Apollo 13 accident occurred during filming). My favorite part of the commentary was when Tanaka and his interviewer discuss at great length the definition of the word "minx" and how it applied to various Toho starlets. His understated humor and observations are genuinely entertaining, and I recommend the commentary track highly.

I would have probably given the film four stars as a Japanese rubber monster movie, but I finally settled on five due to the bonus features, especially the commentary. Fans of Japanese films and monster movies in general will delight in this film.

You'll always be Yog to me..........2006-03-23

You may have been originally released as Gezora, Ganime, Kameba: Kessen! Nankai no daikaijû (1970), but you'll always be Yog: Monster from Space (1971) to me...directed by the legendary Ishirô Honda (Godzilla, Rodan! The Flying Monster, The Mysterians), with original music by Akira Ifukube (Godzilla, Rodan! The Flying Monster), the film features a host of familiar faces to those who love on these Japanese Toho monster features including Akira Kubo (Gorath, Matango, Destroy All Monsters), Atsuko Takahashi (Destroy All Monsters), Kenji Sahara (Matango, Atragon, Ghidrah, the Three-Headed Monster), and Yoshio Tsuchiya (Baran: Monster from the East, Matango, Godzilla Vs. Monster Zero). Also appearing is Noritake Saito (Godzilla vs. Gigan), Chotaro Togin (Destroy All Monsters), Tetsu Nakamura (Mothra), Yukiko Kobayashi (Destroy All Monsters), and Wataru Omae (Godzilla Versus the Sea Monster).

The movie begins with an unmanned rocket blasting off into space, one that's carrying a space probe intended to scope out Jupiter. On it's way to the Jovian gas giant, the probe encounters some sparkly space dust, which gloms on to the craft, takes control, and turns it back towards Earth. During its re-entry, a photographer named Taro Kudo (Kubo), traveling on a plane, witnesses the craft crash into the ocean, but no one believes him. He then gets an offer from a development company to photograph an island where they plan to build a paradise resort, and he agrees only because the island happens to be in the same area he saw the probe crash (great idea there, building a luxury resort on Monster Island). Along for the ride are a really annoying company woman named Ayako (Takahashi), a scientist named Dr. Kyoichi Mida (Tsuchiya), and a mysterious individual named Makoto Obata (Sahara). Prior to their arrival, a company man on the island has an encounter with a gianormous squid (be sure to send us a postcard from inside the beast's belly), and the natives go crazy go nuts (they believe the arrival of the outsiders has angered their god, resulting in the giant monsters getting all frisky). The group arrives on the island and soon enough sees first hand the wackiness caused by the space dust, which is actually some sort of amoeba-like alien life form, and its penchant for embiggening the local animal population. There's the giant squid, followed by a humongous crab, and last, but not least, a monstrous snapping turtle. Turns out not only is the alien goo a sentient being, but one that desires to dominate the world, and has been super sizing various beast in order to make it happen. The various monsters thrash the island, copulating with many a thatched hut in the process, the small group fights back with the help of the natives (initiating what has to be the biggest cookout I've ever seen), but given the enormity of the beasts, all hope seems lost. All bow down before your new alien embiggened crustacean masters!

While this may not be one of my favorite Japanese monster features, it's still kinda fun (I have a hard time believing Honda was behind this one). I suppose the main issue I have with the film is the fact that while there are various monsters running around, they don't really engage each other in any battles (at least not until the end), or have any real personality, as the aliens control them all, and there is no `hero' type creature (like Godzilla) to save the day, providing some real rompin' stompin' action. The creatures do work over the native village pretty well, but how many thatched huts can you see smashed before it gets old (I think maybe a limited budget confined the action to the island, avoiding the cost of tons of miniatures)? Had the beast actually made it to civilization, then we would have had something, but it never happens. Here's a really funny bit...initially we're told the development of a paradise resort on this island was supposed to be some sort of top secret project, but when the group arrives on the island, there's a good sized sign posted, the kind developers use to advertise what they're building on a specific piece of land, which is really a great way to keep a secret (actually, the hotel was supposed to be some sort of submarine habitat, I think...the story began falling apart at the seams as more ultimately useless plot details were revealed). I suppose it didn't really matter, as the island was fairly remote, but then how stupid is that, to put up a sign virtual no one will see? Arggh...another really funny bit was when one of the main characters early on actually proposed the whole `monster' aspect a hoax, despite the fact that not only was the company hut completely demolished (along with the man inside), but there was a humongous path of plant destruction from where the giant squid walked across land to get to the hut, and then traveled back to return to the water (who knew squids could walk?). I liked most of the characters in the story well enough (the two company men stationed on the island were pretty idiotic), but I did find the female lead about the most irritating I've seen in a long time. If she's not screaming indiscriminately, she's offering forth the most idiotic statements and just making herself a pest in general. The only reason the others didn't feed this useless bit of excess baggage to the monsters immediately was because she did rate relatively high on the `cute' scale. Her character really served no purpose in the film other than to provide keep it from being a sausage fest (an all male film). As far as Dr. Kyoichi Mida, the scientist hired by the development company to examine the native animal life, he makes some of the most intuitive deductions this side of a Sherlock Holmes movie. Seriously...from out of nowhere he comes up with the theory that the giant monsters are a result of manipulation by some alien life form...yes, it happened to be true, but I have not a clue in hell how he came up with this given how little he actually had to go on...as far as the monsters go, I thought they looked pretty cool, showing a whole lot of detail. The squid was a bit funky, but the crab was spectacular, with the snapping turtle falling somewhere in between. Eventually a couple of these creature do tangle (near the end), as you really can't have a giant monster movie like this featuring three beast and not have them fight at some point. It may seem like I have a lot of misgivings about this film (I do), but I still had a lot of fun between the unintentional stupidity of some of the characters and the monsters themselves. There's any number of better Japanese monster, or "kaiju", films out there, but if you've curious, this one's worth a look.

Media Blasters provides an excellent looking anamorphic widescreen (2.35:1) picture on this DVD, along with a newly created Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround sound audio track, along with a Dolby Digital mono track. As far as extras, Media Blasters goes that extra mile yet again providing a commentary track with producer Fumio Tanaka, a short documentary titled `Meet the Marine Animals behind the Monster!', a special announcement bit, an original trailer, English subtitles, and previews for other Media Blasters DVD releases like Dogora (1964), The Mysterians (1957), Varan the Unbelievable (1962), and Atragon (1963).
