    I've hated Minilla in every appearance I'd seen him in, so I'd avoided Son of Godzilla, his origin story, like the plague. After a series of booster shots, I gave it a shot and... liked it? Minilla really is a pathetic creature, which at times gives him, well, pathos, though there's a big part of me that totally wanted to see him get eaten by a bigger monster. His kiddie shenanigans, I could do without, but the sort of nature documentary struggle to survive after birth stuff works pretty well. Godzilla's not the best father - they're reptiles, what do we expect? - but there are some sweet moments between them, including a really very strong ending. The better creatures overall are Gimantis and Spiga, as these big bugs require some fine puppeteering to pull and have pretty cool fighting ability besides. As for the scientists on this Monster Island prototype? They're just okay. I wish we'd gotten more of the Heart of Darkness stuff that seemed to be going on with one of them. 4 years 9 months ago
