Opening Remarks: Godzilla's Revenge is a departure for the Godzilla films. Read further to find out exactly how.

*****************************************************************************
Movie Quality: Godzilla's Revenge is a strange movie. The fighting takes place in a child's imagination. The plot of this movie goes like this. A young child named Ichiro is being picked on at school by a bully named Gaberra. He then dreams that he is on Monster Island and he is taught how to handle bullies by Minya, who is Godzilla's son. You watch Minya handle a big monster named Gaberra, just like Ichiro's bully and this gives Ichiro the strength to dispatch his bully and some bank robbers that he stumbles into. This movie is pretty lame and most of the monster action is clips from past Godzilla films. Unless you're a big Godzilla fan, pass on this movie.

Video Quality: This disc looks great just like the rest of the Simitar Godzilla releases. The film is presented in it's original theatrical 2.35:1 aspect and it's presented in Pan & Scan, as well. Both look great and this is one of the better looking Godzilla films.

*****************************************************************************
Sound Quality: Again Simitar provides the original Mono soundtrack, as well as a remastered Dolby Digital Surround track. The Surround track is excellent and the Mono is nicely done, as well.

*****************************************************************************
Extras: Godzilla's Revenge has the usual Simitar Godzilla extras. This disc has a Trivia Game, 5 Godzilla Trailers, Art Gallery, Film Facts, and the remastered Surround track. Everything is really cool.
