It's my favorite because it marks Gihdrah's first appearance into the Godzilla movie series and it has some of Akira Ifukubes best music scores. The weird thing about this g-flick is that there is no trace japaenese army what so ever.Not a plane, not a tank, not a battle ship, laser, or anything!!Rodan and mothra(larva) make aperances too.

This one is my favorite Godzilla as well. The princess/marshan sub-plot is a good piece of suspense and drama in the film and blends in well with the monster plot.
shareThis was actually the first Godzilla movie I saw as a kid (and I was hooked on Godzilla ever since). I also remember my brother taping it when it was on tv once, unfortunately the tape was destroy (a tape that also had the Princess Bride and Gallagher: the maddest on it). So I had to wait forever to find on VHS.

I am a big fan of Ghidorah and I liked this movie overall, but it just didn't seem to hold up to its internal build up where Ghidorah was described as being a world destroyer and he gave up moderately quickly.
shareThis is my second favorite Godzilla movie (after King Kong vs. Godzilla), and my 16th favorite movie overall. I never saw it until 1993 when a local video store had a VHS tape of it, which I then rented out and watched often. But I really liked it after that, and thought the princess/martian subplot was very good, as was the killers' attempts to assasinate her and the siblings' and scientists' relations. But the highlite was, of course, the monster battles, first between Godzilla and Rodan, and then their joining Mothra to battle Ghidra (and how he has to convience them to do this, with the twin faries providing interpretation). I also liked the way all three monsters were introduced into the movie earlier, leading up to this, and how Ghidra himself was brought into it (and I think he was Godzilla's most formidble foe, and it took three on one to defeat him). I look foward to seeing it again soon, and hope it is on DVD, as it was a great, and somewhat unique Godzilla movie.

It's not the best Godzilla film, in my opinion, but it's the only one that I feel portrays Ghidorah correctly. In this film, he's an unstoppable killing machine that is more than a match for any of earth's monsters. In the other films, he's simply a villain who loses every fight. I try to argue that he wins the last battle in Godzilla versus Monster Zero, but I feel as though I'm lying to myself. In all honestly, I'd love to be able to remake this film.

This is my favorite 60s film besides MvsG. I loved the "secret agent" human plot, and the big monster battle.
The showa series has left a taint in the minds of americans about Godzilla series forever.
Not my favourite; to me, a bad one.
Poor acting, dull characters, uneven special effects, and a weak portrayal of Godzilla undermine it.
