In preparation for May 16th I've been watching ALL of the films in order and I never realized how much I disliked the heisei series. Anyone else? Now it began AMAZING. Godzilla Returns and Godzilla vs. Biollante are two of my all time favorites. King Ghidorah was pretty good too but than it was a huge let down. Toho just shelled out a Godzilla movie every year with bland stories/characters/ action. Mothra was AWFUL, Mechagodzilla was decent but nothing amazing, Space Godzilla THE WORST GODZILLA FILM in my opinion, and I know so many of you on here love it but I thought Destroyah was incredible boring. The millenium series also started strong and ended poorly, I disliked both the Kiryu movies but if you take Final Wars as a cheesy throwback to 70s style Godzilla films it's quite entertaining. So yeah, Heisei is my least favorite series of the three.

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen dominated the boxoffice. That doesn't make it a good movie. If boxoffice receipts were a reflection of quality, summer blockbusters would win best picture every year at the Oscars.

Honestly, Bigbadben, I really do enjoy the Heisei series. But in that enjoyment I realize they have a lot of issues and could've been written and directed with more care. And the special effects went on a nose dive-- which might have been a result of Kawakita's drinking habits.

Sydra, I recently discovered this information is from Guy Tucker's out-of-print book, Age of Gods. I'll have to swipe myself a digital copy somewhere...
