Movie Reviews of Son of Godzilla
Movie Review: long time zilla fan
Summary: 4 Stars
this is one of the beter godzilla movies .don't confuse this with godzillas revenge it was a dud made from bits and pieces of other zilla movies.they are putting out godzilla vs the seamonster another good one wish they would hury and release the early godzillas that were blackand white like godzilla vs the fire monster, and godzilla raids again. they also need to release godzilla 85 on dvd along with releasing godzilla vs biolanta to make all the godzillas available on dvd.they need to release both u.s. and japaneese versions on the same disc since they run diff times and dub both in english.hopefully they will do that when they release godzilla the final battle.Movie Review: Fun to watch
Summary: 4 Stars
I enjoyed watching son of Godzilla. The professor discovers an island where radioactive Praying Mantis have grown a hundred fold. Godzilla burns them and teaches his son how to breath fire. The science team discovers a girl on the island, a news reporter, and manages to escape the SpyGa. The professor has his team fix the radio and call for a rescue. Godzilla and son are fighting the Spyga, the freeze experiment works, the Spyga is burned up, Godzill and son hybrinate and the team is pickued by a rescue submarine.Movie Review: Son of Godzilla

I have fond memories of watching this when I was a child. Godzilla's son is so cute to watch. All the giant size insects are cool. My son loves it as well. Godzilla is always the star and the good guy to me.
Movie Review: Sometimes goofy, but a good Godzilla film

This was the only Godzilla movie that scared me as a child. Those giant mantisses creeped me out. As an adult I still find them kinda creepy.Movie Review: Tadzilla?!
Summary: 3 Stars
A group of Japanese scientists set up a station on Solgel Island to conduct weather control experiments. However, an accident causes their experiment to go out of control, and several gigantic, mutated preying mantises are created. In turn, they unearth a gigantic egg, from which an odd reptilian creature emerges--Minira, a.k.a. Minya, the son of Godzilla (once dubbed "Tadzilla" by Forry Ackerman in the pages of Famous Monsters of Filmland, and the name stuck). Soon, Godzilla emerges from the sea to save his offspring from the predatory monsters. He has no sooner defeated them when another mutant, a hideous giant spider, appears, and the monsters engage in another ferocious battle. To save themselves, the scientists commence a new weather experiment, this time turning the island into a frigid, snow-covered wasteland, forcing the monsters into deep-frozen hibernation.
Son of Godzilla is often maligned by fans, citing Godzilla's "cute" offspring and the decidedly inferior Godzilla suit as its primary weaknesses. However, the story is highly imaginative, and the ensemble cast includes some of Toho's finest talent. The giant, mutated island creatures--a trio of monstrous preying mantises (known as Kamakiras) and a huge spider (Kumonga, a.k.a. Spiga)--come off remarkably well, particularly in the battle scenes.
While Son of Godzilla ventures farther into juvenile territory than past entries in the series, it features some clever humor, exciting action, and occasionally brilliant special effects. The film never received a theatrical release in the United States, and having been relegated for years to airings of second-rate prints, the movie is done reasonable justice by Sony's beautiful-quality DVD. No extra features of any note, alas.
