Next is Godzilla's Revenge/All Monsters Attack, which has Minya but no aliens.

So three movies with Minya, which you call horrific, when really only one of them is poor (Revenge). One is sort of low key and one of them is the one you are "thankful" for.



The suits may have been better constructed but save Biollante none of the designs are relatively "better" for the new monsters. Battra's not exactly groundbreaking, MOGUERA and Spacegodzilla aren't really all that original, and Destroroyah is purposefully based on other, non-Toho monsters.

The budgets were much higher, of course the suits and effects will be better.

Monster gymnastics, I think you may be thinking of Gamera vs Guiron.

The fights have plenty of "flash" but many lack any real heart. A lot of beam battles, mostly.

If you are not interested in buying a Monsterarts of G'64, don't worry. It'll sell out fast enough.

Dont forget the millenium era! The first twp movies of that era were "meh." The last millenium movies was a mixed reaction. The soundtracks for the millenium series were impeccable. The music used in GMK was very different than most Godzilla movie soundtracks. You get the feeling of mythical beasts. Legends per say. Tokyo S.O.S. also had an amazing sountrack. The battles were very neatly choreographed. The effects are impressive.
