Godzilla vs Space-Godzilla

22) GODZILLA vs SPACE GODZILLA – HEISEI SERIES 1984-1995. The role of Godzilla has changed somewhat over the years. While at the beginning of the franchise he was clearly a threat to the world, in this episode he takes on the role of protector of some kind. A group of scientists is developing a project to allow Godzilla to be controlled by telepathy. The military, on the other hand, builds a machine called Mogera, which looks like a robotic toy from the Power Rangers series, to disarm Godzilla. Throw in the cute little Godzilla kid, and a new monster called Space Godzilla, created by a mutation of Godzilla cells caused by starlight radiation and stardust. The cards are dealt and everything is heading towards the final half-hour climax at the Fukuoka metropolitan demolition site. In the very end Godzilla returns the sea, after leaving behind half of the country destroyed, and the main characters say a loving goodbye to it, accompanied by a wistful tone, as if to say "Thank you Godzilla, for destroying half of Japan again". The Japanese are just beautifully crazy. This visually successful episode for me fulfils the meaning of the phrase "guilty-pleasure". (07/31/2010)

The movie is extremely B-grade and has enough to deter those looking for something intelligent to watch. There are special effects here that I'm not very fond of because they don't look very nice. Ultimately, it's once again enjoyable action entertainment, where the creators truly excelled with the design of Space-Godzilla, showing that the fights can still be incredibly inventive and fun.
