comment |
Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All Out Attack is the 25th entry in the Godzilla franchise and the third in the Millennium series; as well as the first (and so far only) Godzilla film to be directed by Shusuke Kaneko. Known as Gojira, Mosura, Kingu Gidora: Daikaijū S�k�geki in Japan. The film is written by Kaneko, Keiichi Hasegawa and Masahiro Yokotani. It was released on December 15, 2001.After the lukewarm responses to the previous two films, Shusuke Kaneko (creator of the well-lauded Heisei trilogy of Gamera films) was brought in. He wanted to emphasize Godzilla's immense power, so his original choice for opponents were ordinary monsters like Anguirus, Varan, and Baragon. However, Toho considered the former two not able to bring in enough money, so Mothra and King Ghidorah were brought in instead. Baragon, who was popular in Japan, stayed on. In order to keep that immense power plot point, Kaneko depowered King Ghidorah and Mothra. The themes were more mystical in tone, with Godzilla being possessed by the souls of innocent people killed by the Japanese Imperial Army and the origins of the Guardians monsters. The film was well received at the box office. It became a favorite of the fanbase for reasons that include its Darker and Edgier tone.In 2002, Commander Taizo Tachibana (Ryudo Uzaki) comments on the Godzilla attack 50 years ago and the monsters that have come since. A nuclear submarine is downed, and an investigation reveals some very familiar spinal plates. Meanwhile, the Commander's reporter daughter, Yuri (Chiharu Niiyama) investigates the appearance of monsters near Mt. Myoko and Lake Ikeda. She interviews a mysterious old man called Hirotoshi Isayama (Hideyo Amamoto), who tells the legendary guardians of Japan must be awakened before Godzilla (Mizuho Yoshida) returns. Japan has forgotten the atrocities of its actions during WWII and Godzilla will take vengeance for those victims. An attack on the Bonin Islands and other attacks precede Godzilla's destructive return. He engages with the guardian monster Baragon (Rie Ota and Toshinori Sasaki) in Hakone. Despite Baragon's bravery, he is brutally slaughtered and Yuri is injured in the process. As Godzilla moves unrelentingly forward, Mothra and King Ghidorah (Akira Ohashi) awaken. A battle shall soon take place in Yokohama, where the guardian monsters and the military must work together to take down the ruthless King of the Monsters...The film also stars Masahiro Kobayashi as Teruaki Takeda, Shir� Sano as Haruki Kadokura, Takashi Nishina as Jun Maruo, Kaho Minami as Kumi Emori, Shinya Owada as Mikumo, Kunio Murai as Masato Hinogaki, Hiroyuki Watanabe as Yutaka Hirose, Shingo Katsurayama as Tokihiko Kobayakawa, Takeo Nakahara as Sakida, Toshikazu Fukawa as Miyashita and Masahiko Tsugawa as the chief Cabinet Secretary. |

| | Godzilla, Mothra, King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack! / int_14beeefd |
comment |
Darker and Edgier: The tone of the movie is perhaps the darkest since the original, with Godzilla as a merciless engine of evil and destruction as opposed to the neutral Anti-Hero and Anti-Villain he had come to be portrayed as over the decades. The themes of supernatural retribution and a nation forgetting its sacrifices also aid in establishing this. |

Ambiguous Situation: Is the GMK incarnation of Godzilla indeed the same one that attacked Japan in 1954 or a completely different entity? The film offers evidence to support both arguments, and, seeing as how a sequel won't ever happen any time soon, there may be no final answers. |

Nigh-Invulnerability: Godzilla caused his own radioactive energies to run so rampant, that when next he sought to employ his atomic breath, it caused him to explode. However, even this was not enough to destroy the monster, as his disembodied heart continued to beat at the bottom of Tokyo Bay, slowly regenerating a new body. |

Adaptational Villainy: While Godzilla is always portrayed as ambiguously heroic even on his best days, his portrayal as a being of pure evil in this movie, albeit with a tragic backstory even worse than the one from his first movie, nonetheless makes for a jarring contrast. |

comment |
Mythology Gag: At one point when Mothra flies through a city, two similar-looking women are seen watching her in awe, in a nod to the Shobijin. Godzilla's face appearing over the hillside is lifted almost shot-for-shot from the original 1954 movie. The film opens with a lecture from Tachibana to a class of naval cadets, during which he mentions another giant monster having attacked the "East of America at New York City," a clear reference to Godzilla (1998). Listening to Tachibana's lecture in the official US cut, though contains a mention to the monster having since been "sighted at numerous times, in various countries," an apparent Shout-Out to Godzilla: The Series |

Kick the Dog: A couple of violent youths near Lake Ikeda decide to drown a barking dog because it would give them away. A quarter way into the lake, they and those on shore are killed by Mothra. The dog remains unharmed. This Godzilla is also a noticeable bully to all the weaker monsters. Twice he uses his ray to hit stuff to cause greater pain to Baragon and King Ghidorah before attempting to hit them head on. Successfully with the former, not so much the latter due to Mothra taking the hit. |

comment |
Curb-Stomp Battle: Godzilla against all of the Guardian Monsters. King Ghidorah manages to put up much more of a fight after being powered up. In his fight with Baragon, Godzilla actually resorts to stomping the other monster at one point. Having successfully taken down (but not yet killed) both Mothra and Ghidorah acting in unison, Godzilla is interrupted by the JGSDF, who fire a barrage of D-3 warheads, none of which manage to penetrate his hide before exploding. Apparently snorting in derision, Godzilla unleashes one of the most devastating rampages seen on screen at that point in the series, obliterating 90% of the JGSDF in the city...in a matter of seconds. |

Later-Installment Weirdness: GMK is a big break from Godzilla film tradition. It doesn't follow on from the previous two Millennnium movies and is in fact a sequel to the 1954 movie. Godzilla himself is the Big Bad killer monster, a Revenant Zombie resurrected by the angry souls of millions of people from the past. The Earth has three "Guardian Monsters" in Mothra, Baragon, and King Ghidorah. Speaking of King Ghidorah, he isn't the Big Bad at all. In fact, Ghidorah is actually heroic, while Godzilla is the villain in a total role reversal. And finally, the humans actually succeed in stopping Godzilla. |

comment |
Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: The military tries to fire on Godzilla, but Godzilla moves and they hit King Ghidorah instead, giving Godzilla the opening to knock him out. What's worse about this is it was one of the few times in the fight one of the Guardian Monsters actually had the advantage over Godzilla during the fight. |

Unlike the other incarnations who were territorial destructive forces of nature, or anti-heroic, this Godzilla possesses a sadistic streak and seeks nothing but the destruction of the world and everything in it. |

Take That!: The events of Godzilla (1998) apparently happened in this film's universe... but those Americans were wrong in labeling that creature "Godzilla". A more subtle jab at that movie is the constant reminder that this Godzilla cannot be defeated by conventional weaponry, something that goes in line with the director’s previously recorded remark that “It is interesting [that] the US version of Godzilla runs about trying to escape missiles... Americans seem to be unable to accept something that cannot be put down by their arms.� The film may also be a stealthy one aimed at Japan itself. Godzilla is explicitly stated to have been revived by the lost souls of World War II, driven by anger towards Japan, whose people are trying to bury and ignore the losses of that conflict. This makes sense, considering how Japan, in recent years, has attracted fair amount of international criticism for trying to gloss over many of the atrocities inflicted by Japanese soldiers during the conflict. |

Hope Spot: A survivor of one of Godzilla's earlier rampages lies in traction in a hospital, sobbing hysterically at being unable to escape as Godzilla heads straight for her...only for him to apparently pass right by without so much as scratching the building. Just as she's breathing a sigh of relief, his tail levels the place. Ghidorah is powered up by Mothra's energy into King Ghidorah and manages to finally gain the upper hand on Godzilla...until the military accidentally hits him trying to hit Godzilla, allowing Godzilla to regain the upper hand and knock him out. After this, Ghidorah gets super charged again and is able to rain lightning down on Godzilla...but Godzilla just absorbs it and blows him to bits. |

Colonel Badass: Admiral Tachibana. He drives a sub into Godzilla's mouth, enters his stomach, and fires a missile with dead accuracy through a wound on his shoulder. An unnamed JGSDF officer (or possible NCO) is seen in a few scenes of the soldiers reacting to Godzilla and Mothra's battle. When the JGSDF intervene to distract Godzilla from finishing her and Ghidorah off, Godzilla responds by obliterating most of their forces in a matter of seconds. While several of his men panic and try to run, this one older soldier squares his shoulders and squints determinedly into the onrushing blue light of oblivion. |

Adaptational Wimp: Ghidorah. Although he is still the strongest of the guardian monsters he is hardly the unstoppable arch nemesis of the Showa series, and even his strongest attack causes only a small wound on Godzilla's shoulder. |

Oddball in the Series: The Kaiju are Gods and Guardians of the earth, Mothra is without her Shobijin, King Ghidorah is a good guy this time and Godzilla is the manifestation of the angered spirits of those killed by the Japanese during World War II. |

Vengeful Ghost: Godzilla has been resurrected and possessed by the souls of those who died thanks to Imperial Japan in WWII. They're not only enraged due to their own deaths, but because Japan tried to bury and forget what they did during WWII. |

The Assimilator: While regenerating, Godzilla has absorbed the souls of all those killed in the Pacific War. Not just military casualties either, he's powered by some 36 million poor lost tormented souls. Godzilla is full of anger, and seeks to avenge those dead on a Japan that has forgotten its past, and the horrors of the war it unleashed on Southeast Asia. |

Monster in the Ice: After being defeated in ancient times, the Orochi was lain to rest in an ice cave near Mount Fuji to reincarnate as a good monster next time. When Godzilla threatens Japan in the present day, he's awakened prematurely as the three-headed monster Ghidorah to fight him. |
