Rating: 4 stars
Summary: long time zilla fan
Review: this is one of the beter godzilla movies .don't confuse this with godzillas revenge it was a dud made from bits and pieces of other zilla movies.they are putting out godzilla vs the seamonster another good one wish they would hury and release the early godzillas that were blackand white like godzilla vs the fire monster, and godzilla raids again. they also need to release godzilla 85 on dvd along with releasing godzilla vs biolanta to make all the godzillas available on dvd.they need to release both u.s. and japaneese versions on the same disc since they run diff times and dub both in english.hopefully they will do that when they release godzilla the final battle.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Better than you think.
Review: This movie is a step up from."Godzilla's Revenge" Which clearlyuses stock footage from "Godzilla's Son" My vote for the worse Zilla is the "Terror of Mecagodzilla"It's even worse than 'Smog Monster'Which is lame.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: ALright I guess
Review: This movie is focuing towards a harm hearted godzilla.This the movie introdue minya the retarded son of godzilla who blows smokes instead of a fire blast or sort.Mainly it focus on the minya and his adventures running off but really the end its pretty cool when they team up and destroy Kumonga ( a Big Oh Spider).

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Minilla isn't all bad! At least it's better than Barney!
Review: This movie weighs in as yet another South Seas fantasy yarn. Very low bloodshed, light-hearted subject matter. The locations are great on this film. The acting is good, not spectacular, but both consistent and entertaining. Unlike some of the other Godzilla yarns, the monsters here are very plausible and natural. In the science fiction world, heat and radiation can enlarge just about anything. A few of the Godzilla/Minilla scene to feel more suited for "Barney goes back to his roots" but Minilla makes a good dramatic focus for the film. "Son of Godzilla" reveals another side of Godzilla, that of a parent. This concept seems to hold some favor with the Japanese, as it is repeated through several other films.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Amusing, Whimsical entry in the series.
Review: Thursday, December 16, 2004 / 4 of 5 / Amusing, Whimsical entry in the series.
Son of Godzilla, recently released on DVD is presented in a very nice widescreen transfer from the original. Colors are bright and vibrant. Weather experiments are being conducted in secret on an island that just happens to play host for mutated spider Kumonga, scary giant mantises Kamacuras, and of course the loveable Godzilla Jr., Minya. Godzilla is drawn there thankfully just as Minya comes out of his shell and is being ¡¥picked on¡¦ by Kamacuras. The back story is amusing with a large cast of kaiju eiga regulars running about and meeting up with an oddly for the time slender beauty left on the island by her father. Later this film would be picked apart for its stock footage in Revenge of Godzilla. Minya never fails to amuse with his smoke/fire ring breath which would reach it¡¦s comedic apex in Destroy All Monsters going over Ghidora¡¦s middle head. ƒº I hadn¡¦t actually seen this one in my 30 plus years of Godzilla viewing, at least that I can remember, so it was a nice treat having watched Tokyo SOS the same day. My wife just shook her head at the effects, and I had to patiently explain the wonder of kaiju eiga and its nostalgia and feel good value. Recommended.
