 Great movies but the Collection is without merit Dec 31, 2006
By M. Watkins
First off, these are all good to excellent Godzilla
flicks - lots of fun and worth owning. I give 2 stars
because if you don't happen to already own any of these,
you can at least get an instant collection for a fairly
good deal (low price).
The bad news is for those who are not new to Godzilla and
who have a collection already: all Sony did, from the looks
of it, is bundle up the back stock of previously released dvds.
There are no decent extras to speak of. This collection
features 9 movies on 7 disks as follows (two disks are double
features).
The Good:
Yes, there is some good here! The following are how ALL the
movies should have been handled and would have made this a more
solid effort on Sony's part:
Godzilla x Megaguirus, GMK and Godzilla x Mechagodzilla are
all in High Definition, offer English and Japanese soundtracks
and english subtiltles, which is the way ALL Godzilla flicks
should be presented in this day and age of DVDs.
The Bad:
Godzilla x Mothra Battle for Earth and Godzilla x Ghidorah.
A travesty because these are STILL not presented in their
original aspect ration; they have NO JAPANESE soundtrack and don't
even have close captioning/English Subs. These are the exact
same Full Screen-No Frills copies that have been floating around
for years - whats up with Columbia Tristar!?
Godzilla x Space Godzilla and Godzilla x Destroyah. Great
flicks which are at least in widescreen. Columbia Tristar
still held off from including a Japanese soundtrack!
Godzilla 2000 - still just an English dub here folks, sorry.
At least its in widescreen; there is also a comentary track and
a few other nice extras which lift this disk up a bit.
The Ugly:
Godzilla 1998 - including this movie was weak. It isn't
all that bad if you can forget it bears the title of a
Godzilla movie because that's where any similarities end. It
doesn't need further comment except to say its a dinosaur
movie with lots of CGI effects and no heart. Its worth
seeing for the general viewer of hollywood style flicks.
In conclusion, Sony didn't do anything to make this a more
interesting collection for the long-time, long-term fan. I'm
not as sour on Sony/Columbia Tristar as I may sound here, but
this release just doesn't have anything extra.
Sony will have little to say to those who seek out bootlegs
or versions released from other countries in order to view
the movies as they were originally released.
50th Anniversary Editions:
Better news is that the other earlier 70s Godzilla flicks
(GxMegalon, GxGigan, GxMechaGodzilla etc.) were released
with English and Japanese dubs. Hoo-Ray for Columbia Tristar!

 Godzilla Arrives With Both Hits and Misses In This Boxset... Jul 02, 2011
By Jason Ralsky
The 7-pack Godzilla DVD set has a total of 9 Godzilla movies within this set. Overall you are getting quite a few Godzilla flicks for around $10 per movie (as of 7/2/2011), but not everything is as golden as it may seem with this boxset of movies.
WHY THIS BOXSET IS GOOD!
It is Godzilla. If you love Godzilla then this boxset is going to be awesome! You get 9 action packed flicks. Godzilla vs King Ghidora / Godzilla and Mothra: Battle for Earth / Godzilla vs Space Godzilla / Godzilla vs Destroyah / Godzilla(1998) / Godzilla 2000 / Godzilla: Giant Monsters all out attack / Godzilla vs Megaguirus and Godzilla against Mechagodzilla.
This selection is a nice compilation of Godzilla movies from around 1991 - 2002. The movies are mainly the modern era of Godzilla and take advantage of improved special effects. The Packaging of the DVD's is fairly simple. Each movie has its own box except for the double feature movies (Godzilla vs Ghidora/Battle for Earth and Godzilla vs SpaceGodzilla/Destroyah). These double features come on a two sided DVD. If you do not own any Godzilla movies on DVD then this set is perhaps the best one to start with.
All Out Monsters Attack, Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla and Godzilla vs Megaguirus have all been fully remastered in High-Definition. They also can be watched in Japanese w/ English Subtitles
WHY THIS BOXSET IS BAD!
For all the simple good there is about this boxset (I mean come on... this is Godzilla we are talking about here) there is some bad. While you are getting 9 movies on DVD the quality of the DVD's leaves something to be desired. The first double feature ( King Ghidora and Battle for Earth ) is not in true widescreen but standard 4:3 copy as seen on TV/VHS. To make matters worse the only two movies to contain any sort of Bonus Features / Additional Content are Godzilla(1998) and Godzilla(2000). The two double feature disks are simply standard DVD releases with no remastering and English Dub only.
While all these problems are not major issues, more like disappointments; the biggest train wreck here is the inclusion of Godzilla(1998). This movie just flat out doesn't belong with this set. Godzilla(1998) has nothing to do with Godzilla as it just shares the same name. It would of been better to drop Godzilla(1998) and include bonus features for the rest of the movies, or perhaps just a bonus disk containing all sorts of interviews and behind the scenes looks at the various Godzilla movies. Or better yet, another actual Godzilla movie.
OVERALL
This boxset is not terrible in anyway. You are getting 9 movies here at a decent enough price. The set makes for a great gift for a Godzilla fan to add to the collection. The movies themselves are anywhere from Fair to AWESOME!! with Godzilla(1998) the only bad movie of the bunch. Despite lots of good with this boxset; The lack of special features on many of the movies, total lack of transfer on 2 of the movies, and inclusion of Godzilla(1998) over another Godzilla movie or bonus features hurts the score in the end.
What was a 4 star quality boxset I feel is more like a 3 star set in the end. While not perfect, the set still brings you 8 awesome authentic Godzilla movies and 1 Americanized Godzilla movie. Just understand there is going to be a lack of special/bonus features as well as 4 of the movies having no remastering at all done to them so they will look a little dated.

 Great set to catch up on Godzilla after 2000 Nov 11, 2004
By C. Zanier
The set as it is allows you to catch up on all the newer godzillas from the mid 90's to after 2000 ( except the horrible american disaster version). Sure there are no special features on any of the discs but the japanese aren't big on that stuff anyway. The biggest flaw in the set is the absence of Godzilla vs Mecagodzilla II witch could have been in the set instead of the American version. I would have given it a full 5 star rating with raving review if they took all the movies and repackaged each DVD case to be a uniformed set. The earlier ones like the two double featured could have been remastered and have had the japanese language audio added as did the later DVD's in the set.
Over all it helped me gather up all the newer Godzilla movie, some awesome,(which is why I give it a 4 instead of 3 )at a lower price then buying them separately.

the one and only Godzilla Oct 02, 2007
By Kimberly Laguardia
"markusmoose"
These movies are about Godzilla between the years of 1989 and i think 2004. Though the monsters are still in large foam rubber suits (with the exception of the American made Godzilla which features a CG monster) the plots are simple and enjoyable enough for any Godzilla fan to love.
