The last two films of the 80s-90s run of Godzilla movies. In the first, DNA carried through space has resulted in the creation of Spacegodzilla, a larger partially-crystaline version of the big G. The military are ready with a new giant robotic beast, but ultimately it's up to Godzilla to put a stop to the quartz colossus. There are a few gripes I have with this film. It is a little slow at times, could maybe have done with a slightly shorter running time. Also, Godzilla looks kind of flabby. In the scene during which he walks out of the sea he looks like he's wearing baggy clown's trousers. But overall it's great entertainment. In the second of these two films, another bomb has mutated Godzilla further and caused him to become more of a threat to humanity than ever. To add to the problems, Japan is faced with an army of little monsters which soon join together to form the giant Destroyah. Though this is no longer the final Godzilla film, it has a grand finale feel to it, and the ending is a genuine tear-jerker.
Overall then a must-have for any fan of Godzilla films.

Firstly, let me make it clear that the 5-star rating is for 'Godzilla vs Destoroyah' only.
'Godzilla vs Spacegodzilla' is really not very good and may give credence to the assertion that Toho was running out of ideas and for that reason was preparing to kill off Godzilla. The movie starts off reasonably well, with Little Godzilla being seized and held captive by Spacegodzilla, but the ensuing battle with Godzilla is ruined by too many action sequences involving the military.
'Godzilla vs Destoroyah' is undoubtedly the most moving of the entire series and rightly so, since this is the movie in which Godzilla dies. Birth Island where Godzilla lives is found to have been destroyed and the nuclear energy in Godzilla's body has reached critical mass. Very soon he will reach meltdown and explode, taking the whole of the Earth with him.
At the same time, a monster called Destoroyah has appeared which is a living oxygen destroyer. The authorities hope that by having Godzilla fight it, he may be killed without meltdown taking place. This is the lead-up to Godzilla's dramatic demise and the final scenes are probably the most moving I have ever witnessed. Akira Ifukube's superb music score pulls no punches and the requiem for Godzilla as the monster slowly perishes is enough to bring tears to your eyes.
Why do I feel such pity for a giant fire-breathing reptile which has laid waste to cities so many times and probably killed thousands of people in the process? Well, in reality I wouldn't, of course. But there is something rather sad about this creature who stands alone in the world and whose life is one long battle for survival against other creatures as well as mankind. Or maybe I'm too much of a sentimentalist. Whatever the reason, I wish Toho hadn't killed him.

These last two Godzila movies before the Millenium series are visually impressive but only one of them truly deserves its five stars status.
The first movie Godzilla v SpaceGodzilla looks good but its quite average as it involves a space-formed reptillian that resembles godzilla (hence the name) lands on earth causes destruction until Godzilla eventually defeats him, but most of the confrontation between them is all roaring and no action.
The second movie is the beauty, Godzilla v Destroyah is an excellent action-packed movie, but the movie has a sad feel to it because Godzilla seems to be losing his life, and his son has fully grown. The scenes that stand out is when Minilla takes on destroyah and then the final epic battle between Godzilla and Destroyah is completely awesome. Albeit one with a sad ending though, so if your a Godzilla lover like me, get the tissues ready!!!
Five stars overall
