While I really don't think it's bad, when watching "Godzilla vs. Destoroyah," I can see so many things that could have been done a great deal better. The idea of a monster originating from the Oxygen Destroyer is cool, and the "burning" look for Godzilla is one of my favorites, not to mention some of Ifukube's finest film music, but so much of the movie just reeks of lost potentional. Bringing back the character of Emiko was a nice touch, but she's wasted in a small, forgettable part. The rest of the characters, especially those related to Dr. Yamane and thus adding to the connection to the original film, could have been done a lot better. I also think Destoroyah itself could have been executed better in all its forms. The human-scale form just looks hokey, and the adult stage looks GREAT...until it moves. The middle forms fare the best, but they could have stood a little more work. And the whole confrontation ripped straight out of "Aliens" was just atrocious. I do think the fights are for the most part satisfying. I especially love the scene where Godzilla and Destoroyah get up-close-and-personal and start slamming into each other like sumo wrestlers. And Godzilla's death is unforgettable, though the maser tanks and what have you in that sequence all look like dinky little toys. All-in-all, I find it watchable and even enjoyable in parts, but Godzilla's "final" film should have been a lot better and definitely could have been had a little more effort been put into it. |
