Godzilla battles with arguably his greatest foe in “Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah”. This is one of the better entries in the series and I’m not the only one that thinks so, lots of fans often cite this as one of their favourites. Even those that are only casually into their giant monster movies are likely to have some fun with this one.

Unlike a lot of the “Godzilla” movies, this one has a surprisingly intriguing plot. Time travellers arrive and warn Japan that their nation is destined to be destroyed by Godzilla. They then go back even further in time and prevent Godzilla from being exposed to nuclear radiation. However, the time travellers’ true plan is made clear when King Ghidorah begins to attack.

While not exactly great, the characters in this film are moderately interesting. The giant monsters are obviously the focus of the movie and both Godzilla and King Ghidorah look great. Watching both monsters lay siege to Japan is pretty exciting and their encounters are very impressive. It’s also great to see Godzilla’s backstory and for the first time, we get to see Godzilla before being exposed to the nuclear radiation that made him the mightiest monster of them all. King Ghidorah is of the three-headed gold dragon that shoots lightning, what is there not to love about him?

The time travel plot becomes a little ludicrous in places and there are a few dull moments but this one is an enjoyable instalment. While I think there are a few other “Godzilla” movies that are a little bit better, there is no denying that this is one of the good ones and I think most people will find it more accessible than the majority of “Godzilla” films. The special effects are very good, the story holds your attention and the showdown between Godzilla and King Ghidorah is great too.
