The best Godzilla movie is the remake from 1998. If you do not agree that's OK you don't have to. But if mad about get over it jerks. This a very good movie even if jerks like it. It is the 11th Godzilla movie. It is not as good as the 1st Godzilla movie Godzilla king of the monsters. It is not as good as the 8th Godzilla movie Son of Godzilla. It is not as good as the 16th Godzilla movie Return of Godzilla also known as Godzilla 1985. Still a very good movie. Very entertaining. It is not as good as part 24 to the Japan series Godzilla vs M.e.g.a.g.u.i.r.us. It also not as good as Part 25 to Japan series Godzilla M.o.t.h.r.a and king G.h.i.d.o.r.a.h giant monster on an all out attack. Still a very good movie.

One of the better entries in this never-ending series, GODZILLA VS. THE SMOG MONSTER (which I first saw on a double bill with WAR OF THE GARGANTUAS when I was a kid) is most definitely a product of its time (not to mention its environment). Like THE BLOB (the ever-lovin' original), GODZILLA VS. THE SMOG MONSTER boasts a way out, groovy theme song, some of the best kaiju slugfests ever, and an environmental message worthy of the very first GOJIRA. Crapitalism has taken its toll on Japan, so Mother Nature strikes back and the mighty Smog Monster rises from the pollution-choked planet to dispense some giant Japanese monster justice, kaiju style. (The scene with the poor little kitty drenched with oil I could've lived without... but that one shot DOES get the point across, and far more effectively than anything else in the movie: just recall the oil-covered pelicans gulping oily water in an effort to slake their thirst in the handful of scenes we were allowed to see of the Gulf oil spill...) This movie also inspired my own black and white comic book story, MUCKER, about an alien creature that lands in an offshore oil spill and feeds off of the oil until it consumes most of the life on this planet. The company responsible for said oil spill I called Texon. While the Oilygarchy that runs these United $tate$ will never get what it so richly deserves, movies like GODZILLA VS. THE SMOG MONSTER give some of us reason to hope...

Dear God, what have they done?! Did someone take a dump on the script of this movie? Someone must have been playing a joke. This is by far the worst entry in the Godzilla series, more so than "Godzilla's Revenge", even if it does have some good qualities. What's so awfully smelly about this film? Get a trash can and find out.Hedorah the Smog Monster is an extraterrestrial organism that broke into pieces while falling down to Earth. As it reassembles itself, the creature proceeds to feed on whatever pollution or toxic substance it can get, destroying cities, killing lots of people, and going through various stages of its life cycle. Godzilla, of course, arrives to save the day. At first, Hedorah doesn't seem to be too much trouble for Godzilla in his smaller, weaker stages, but as the Smog Monster feeds on more pollution and grows bigger, not even the King of the Monsters can stop this toxic terror. With humanity stepping in to help, Godzilla sets out to make sure that Hedorah gets wasted.Speaking of which, that's how I think how the filmmakers were when they made this piece of crap: they must have been wasted. This film is like a drug-induced mind trip. It's crazy and stupid, mostly on the humans' part. There's hippies dancing around, singing the silly "Save The Earth" song, and giving up pretty easily to Hedorah's might. There's cartoon scenes too, most of which are pointless like a few other things in the film. Around this time of the series, there's annoying little kids wearing short-shorts and this one is especially irritating. Most of the music is terrible and who can forget the infamous "flying Godzilla" scene. Even the chapter on the DVD says "Something you don't see everyday." I couldn't have said it better.To be fair, there are a few good things in this movie. The battles between Godzilla and Hedorah are good, messy and brutal. Hedorah proves to be one of Godzilla's deadliest foes and he's one of my favorite monsters of the series. His theme music is the only good music in this film, both creepy and ominous, especially when you see his final form for the first time. For years, people have been saying that Hedorah is immune to Godzilla's fire breath when in reality he's not. Burned remains of the creature have been found. And if he's immune, why would he bother dodging Godzilla's fire breath or blind one of Godzilla's eyes with his acidic sludge so the Monster King can't shoot accurately?What a mess, literally! Despite the good parts, unless you're a die-hard Godzilla fan, don't bother watching this. It's not worth it.

This is a very, very, very weird movie. The acting is OK. I'm serious it's OK. Now the plot is very strange. pollution monster named Hedorah comes from outer space. First it terrorizes sea, then it goes on land where it encounters the big G. After it's after the fight with Godzilla it retreats, only to reappear again in a flying form, it's starts to kill people. Then it takes on it's final form, that's when the Big G comes and the battle that decides the fate of the world begins. Special thanks to Spaceroach for providing the synopsis. But needless to say that story line makes little since. To be honest I have no idea what age group this movie is aiming for, weather it's kids or adults. The effects are.............................I don't know weather to call them good or bad. Well if you want to watch the weirdest film in the Godzilla franchise than check it out.
