Movie Reviews of Godzilla Vs Hedorah

Movie Review: Godzilla vs Hedorah: A Message About the Environment?
Summary: 4 Stars

I'm a Godzilla movie fan (only the old cheesy ones 1960s-1980s) because I used to watch them around the holidays growing up. Recently I decided to start a small collection of favorites and this was one of them. Believe me, there is no shortage on weirdness in this one! Starting with animated cartoons of Hedorah sprinkled throughout the movie to unusual sound editing and strange 1970's trippy disco scenes, Godzilla vs Hedorah hits high on the strangeness scale!

All sillliness aside, an interesting aspect to Godzilla vs Hedorah is how the movie attempts to raise environmental awareness regarding global pollution. The cheesiest way possible, but nevertheless it drives a good point home. The movie's solution was through a monster named Hedorah who goes around Japan finding sources of pollution and literally gobbles it up. Unfortunately through the process of traveling from city to city, Hedorah emits a noxious gas crippling or killing all people in its path. Naturally, Godzilla is there to save the people of Japan from dying horrible deaths!!!

Why 4 stars?:
Although I was impressed by the eco-awareness of the movie, I gave Godzilla vs Hedorah 4 out of 5 stars because I was disappointed at the sound editing. During scenes where Godzilla destroys buildings it seems like you are watching a silent movie! Not a single sound is present-- not even background music, it's like your TV is on mute. Times when background music is present, it seems very out of place. Example: Disco music playing while Godzilla is looking for (and going to fight) Hedorah.

Bottom Line:
I'd recommend it for its cheap price and crazy hijinx. It's a good buy (and great laugh) for anyone who likes the old-style Godzilla movies.
