Ok this is just silly Kaiju fun. The characters speaking broken English with burned in Japanese subtitles, exchanging the anti nuclear war theme for anti bio engineering, giant monsters fighting. Everything you could possibly want is here. Is it fantastic? Absolutely not. But it’s such a time capsule for the late 80s early 90s and I had a blast. Definitely bloated and while the animatronics are super cool looking they definitely don’t allow for as much creativity in the action as just putting dudes in suits. Loved the miniatures.

Still I find that it could criticizes authoritarianism in general if I was watching it…

This is as crazy as any other Takashi Miike film while also balancing some interesting tonal changes. This film constantly switches tones. From scene to scene it switches from comedic, to disturbing, to have some actual deep character drama. This to me sums up every…
