You either like the Godzilla series or not . The movies, after the first few have a different feel to them, more geared for a young audience I suppose. Some of them are better than others , Son of Godzilla probably falls under the "others" category, but nevertheless is an entertaining movie and a Godzilla movie collection isn't complete without it. There is overacting ,emotional monsters, improbable situations , everything you expect from the series . Then there is the soundtrack....interesting.

great movies! no ghandi, but who watched that more than once... perhaps you have to be a certain age(over 60 under 6) to appreciate them. ah , the days of practical special efx!! if approached in the proper creature feature frame of mind (and a full bowl of popcorn) a fun time at the home movie theater. imho, best watched in original japanese, but a nice nostalgia/wacky feeling viewed in english

Very good way to own these vintage Godzilla movies without having to pay $60 to $100 each. The quality of the screening is excellent. No skips or scratches.

Whoever decided to make this film, along with Godzilla's Revenge, clearly needs to get a job at Euro-Disney; because they're cuddly, loveable versions of The King of Monsters is definitely a joke, at best. Much like Godzilla's Revenge, we are forced to put up with a childlike plot and characterization of Godzilla and of course, his stupid child. The son of Godzilla is lame and lame looking. Where is the mass destruction of Tokyo? Where are the raging battles between monsters? Where are the tanks and jet planes? NOWHERE! This is a subplot movie that takes the rampaging monster and turns him into Mickey Mouse; it's more like a comedy than a monster movie...especially the likes of Godzilla. This movie would only entertain children under 6, if it's lucky. No Godzilla fan will appreciate this AT ALL. I recommend that EVERYONE avoid this film!Read full review
This is film not to be taken seriously but is one you would like to watch on a rainy day as Godzilla is pitted against Rodan and other creatures who are mutated through a weather experiment - we see Godzilla in a different light as a father figure here and as protector to his son Minya against the likes of Spiga and giant mantisis - Sony does a good job with this rare release on dvd as this is out of print and can go for 70 to 100 dollars on Ebay - this dvd contains the japanese edition and International english version with no special features - Enjoy.
