Movie Tournament Rounds 1-5 Archive

I can be. Definitely. Sometimes I try to be. But eh, I've also stirred up a bit more debate here. Someone has to spark a fire.

I said I might vote against it depending on the movie. I never said I thought there was a better film.

Admittedly, I probably get more enjoyment out of the original movie than a lot of fans, but there are certainly some high calibar movies in the series I prefer and/or watch more often. Not that I'm counting my votes.

In any case I'm more interested in how fans size up one movie with another than I am the winner. That's largely the point of these debate games anyway.

@Wolfguy - I am of the mind that the original is the best also, for a variety of reasons. I would never, though, call anyone out for not liking it or liking anything else more. Sometimes it depends on what your first experience was with that character. For many fans, it may have been Godzilla's Revenge, or Godzilla Vs. Megalon, and by virtue of that being their first taste, it may be their favorite, or the version they identify most with. For a great many fans out there, their first experience with a Godzilla movie was the '98 version. For some, that IS Godzilla, and for others, it was an introduction to a broader, richer, more imaginative world.

My first, by my recollection, was Godzilla KOTM. Gojira is a far better film, but you'll never hear me knock KOTM. Fond memories for me. I still watch it and I still enjoy it.  I have my favorites and some I'm not fond of, and make no apologies for any. There are many I enjoyed as an 8 year old boy, but see differently now. I don't know if that's a good or a bad thing, but it is what it is!

Anyway, Peace!

@Durp - Agreed on your point being one of these not-so-great movies gets to move on while better movies fall by the wayside. Not sure how GMan's picking what goes against what. Maybe he's picking them out of a hat.

I also agree on most of your points about both movies. It just comes down to which one I enjoy watching more (or less!).

I totally get what they were trying to do in GFW. It was really a tribute to 50 years of Godzilla, and his many co-stars, stories, etc. It was just too much, and yet not enough, if that makes any sense. It's just a tough movie for me to sit through, and if I have to labor through it, it's not something I'm going to be in a hurry to watch again. There are some G movies I literally could watch once a week, and that's after having seen them umpteen times!

Anyway, this is a fun competition, and should generate lively debate and discussion.

MOVIE TOURNAMENT ROUND 3 HAS BEGUN.

From votes on twitter and the forum, Godzilla Final Wars stomped Godzilla x Megaguirus, 8 to 3.

Next round:

Godzilla vs. Gigan VS. Godzilla vs. Hedorah

Wow the more names that get dropped the scarier the other side of the bracket looks. I mean almost a 4th of the bracket has been shown and No original, no early showa movies, no Biollante, no GMK, No Destoroyah, no showa Mechagodzilla movies. Jesus this makes me wonder how far my favorites are going to go looking at the fact this quarter is pretty much a cakewalk in terms of quality(of course the last match will probably be amazing and that movies will then skate to the semis untouched from there).

In terms of this match I would say Godzilla vs Gigan every hour of every day of every year. Actually pretty much any Godzilla movie put up against my least favorite movie would get that treatment, but even trying to look at this objectively, besides the gross amount of stock footage Godzilla vs Gigan used it seemed like a better version of Godzilla vs Hedorah, the monster had a cooler, more memorable design, the fight is one of the staple showa fights, it established Anguirus as Gozilla's ally. The only thing I think people take away from Hedorah is the joke of Godzilla flying. 

Godzilla vs Gigan takes this for me.

Godzilla vs Gigan for me. Better script, more entertaining, and a fun movie for the entire family. Hedorah is an ok movie but it isn't that good. Although my nephews love it when Godzilla flies through the air in a chase down on Hedorah, they still find Gigan to be more entertaining. I actually fell asleep while watching Hedorah yesterday, so that's saying something.

I'm going to go with Godzilla vs. Hedorah. I enjoy watching Godzilla vs. Gigan more, but I think that objectively, GvH is a better movie. A lot of fans write it off just because it's so weird and includes the infamous flying scene, but aside from that I think it actually is a really solid entry in the series.

Hedorah is an interesting monster, his various forms all look pretty cool and mostly convincing, and the final battle between the monsters at Mt. Fuji is very well-staged. I also applaud the film's use of disturbing imagery, as it really drives home the message it's trying to send. GvH is one of few films in the series besides the original film that tries to send some sort of message, and one of very few that does it well. The disgusting images of poulluted waters, Hedorah's sludgy and noxious appearance, and the gruesome deaths of his victims really stuck with me after watching the film. And I think telling the story mostly through the eyes of a young child makes it even more powerful. This is one of the only films in the series besides the original that really shows the human toll and devastation of a kaiju attack. Some might say that the film was aimed at children and therefore went too far, but I think that it really wasn't made for child audiences. It was made as a metaphor, just as the original was, but instead of portraying the devatstaion of a nuclear bomb, it showed the damage caused by rampant pollution. I give this film major points for trying to stand for something.

Throw in the better acting, slightly more interesting human characters, better production values and limited stock footage, and I vote for Godzilla vs. Hedorah. Sure it's an unorthodox, bizarre, and psychadelic entry in the series, but those features don't make it any less enjoyable to me. Godzilla vs. Gigan is more fun to watch for me, but I don't consider it the better of the two films. 

Having recently watched all of the Godzilla films again in a marathon, I noticed alot about these two films that I missed before.

One - How good Godzilla vs Hedorah is.

Two - How bad Godzilla vs. Gigan is.

Godzilla vs. Gigan is simply your standard G-film. Human sudstory somewhat keeps you occupided until the monsters arrive. And my second favorite kaiju Anguirus, who stood toe to toe with Godzilla in his second film, was entirely owned.

While Hedorah revealed things to me I'd never noticed and realized before. That film is expertly directed. The only silly out-of-place scene is the infamous flying, and I guarantee that's what most still knock it for. It is one of the truly unique films of Godzilla's legaxy and it should stand out more nowadays considering the continuing battle against pollution and global warming.

Godzilla vs. Hedorah all the way. At least that one had the guts to kill off one of it's annoying main characters at the end Game of Thrones style.

Hmm seemss a lot of people like Hedorah, guess after class later today I'll have to rewatch the movie; not expecting my opinion to change but at least I'll have counterpoints rather than just going off the memory of watching it almost a year ago.

In the battle of movies between

Godzilla vs. Gigan VS. Godzilla vs. Hedorah

I have to vote Hedorah.  It is definetly different, but I really enjoyed that movie.

I just can't stand the later Showa films' use of stock footage. I'd say at least a fourth of the monster action in Godzilla vs. Gigan was taken from Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Monster and Destroy All Monsters. Hell, even Mothra makes an appearance in Godzilla vs. Gigan because of poor use of stock footage.

I vote for Godzilla vs. Hedorah. It's different and innovative. Hedorah proved to be a very tough opponent for Godzilla, especially with it's ability to change shape. I also enjoyed the use of illustrations in some scenes to demonstrate and drive home the point about pollution.

Godzilla vs. Gigan had it's moments such as Anguirus sacrificing himself in an attempt to help Godzilla who was getting torched by laser beams from the amusement park statue. It was almost heartbreaking to see him go through that buzzsaw on Gigan. Still, I did not like seeing human-sized cockroaches as the alien villains and of course the stock footage. 

I will argue tooth and nail against anyone who says Godzilla vs. Hedorah is a bad film, let alone a bad Godzilla film. Up until the infamous flying scene, it's one of the most focused Showa Godzilla films. If it had simply ended with Godzilla brutally ripping out Hedorah's innards and frying them (which he did), I think it would be more well recieved. I still believe it was Toho for pushing for something superhero-ish, so why not have him fly? He hasn't done that yet! After it was released, Toho loathed it and tried to distance themselves afterall.

That's one of the problems with pitting this film against Gigan. Godzilla vs. Hedorah clearly illustrates the threat of Hedorah. It explains and shows his entire life cycle, demonstrates the destruction he brings as the film progresses, in pretty brutal fashion. Gigan just shows up at the last third of the film, destroys some buildings, is subject to a few stock footage battles, gets tossed around and flies off. But don't worry, his stock footage will be used for Megalon so you'll see him again!

Oh rest assured once I put this DVD on and rewatch it I will be willing to have that argument since unless I see some huge epiphany I doubt my opinion of Godzilla vs Hedorah being the worst Godzilla movie will change much.

I have to admit that reading the responses for this tournament makes me want to go check out these films more closely. I see some things that I never picked up before or at least don't remember seeing, such as a shot of Mothra in stock footage for Gigan as Wolfguy mentioned. That's funny. 

That flying scene isn't so bad when looked through the lens of a kid watching the film. When I was a kid watching it for the first time I thought it looked cool and yes, superheroish. I'm not sure though that it's the lowest point or most embarrassing in all Godzilla films. Playing tennis with Ebirah might be worse. 

Well having finished I have a lot to say.

1. Yes Godzilla vs Hedorah had a message but it hammered it in so much it became old. Oh polluting is bad let's show these amazing visuals to show that. Oh that's not enough, let's have the characters talk about pollution being bad. I stilll don't think that's enough though so let's also play a song about not polluting 3 different times throughout the movie while also showing visuals and having people talk about it. There's something called subtlety and this movie seemed to forget that.

2. Hedorah as a monster is not only explained, but explained to an insane extent. Sure it's good to give context and maybe some background but we know exactly what part of what galaxy it came from what it's cell structure is. I mean once again be vague you don't need to tell me everything especially when some things that I learned never came up again. 

3. The characters. Dear god the characters. Like I said through my review the professor spent most of the time in bed bandaged up and after trying to figure out how to kill the monster the child suggested a way that we figured out worked roughly 20 minutes into the movie when the original tadpole dried out. That's all you needed but up till and after that point he did nothing, while the movie tried to make it look like he did. Then there were the other characters which really aren't worth mentioning besides him since none did anything except for the child who was basically there to tell you if Godzilla was coming. 

4. The transitions. I'm sorry but this is more an artistic aspect that I cannot stand. Sure I can see how some people might like it since it's original but dear god did it annoy me.

5. This Godzilla spent more time making poses and waving his arms than actually fighting he literally had a 2 minute stand off with Hedorah before the end fight that consisted of him flailing his arms while he walked around and rubbed his nose.

6. The movie is pretty bypolar with it's pollution message literally right after they say Hedorah came ashore and listed the casualty rate you see 3 characters on a rollercoaster since it was sunny and no way could Hedorah be out then. The range of the fumes in it's flying form was pretty much just for convenience sake the mom is standing in front of a school when it flies over and all the girls in the class start choking but she was fine, the son was down the street when those people turned to skeletons(something the girls didn't do) and the professor was in a house that the roof got torn off and fish killed while he sat there and watched. 

Gigan may not be a perfect movie, actually far from it, but at least the characters did things. I think I said in my review of the movie that it brought nothing new to the table but did everything it had well enough it didn't really need to.

Again, I don't count my own votes or anything, but to weigh in I largely agree with Durp on his points. Most of them anyway. The message is hamfisted, half of Godzilla's battles are Super Sentai poses and the characters are borderline entirely useless and uninteresting. (Sans Ken for his unexplainable ESP-like relationship with Godzilla.)

That said, Hedorah squeaks by for me in that it's stylistcally different from most Godzilla films. The series needed a shake-up and whether one liked what Banno did with it or not there's no denying it's a very different Godzilla film.

The wonky Godzilla poses (including his hilariously awesome take-off) and artsy transitions with the psychedellic influences make the entire movie very surreal. I think the in-yo-face message works largely because the rest of the movie has such an in-yo-face style. It values over-the-top exposition and visuals in favor of traditional storytelling. It's sort of experimental in that way.

Does it make it perfect? Far from it. But I'm in the camp that it probably does more right than wrong-- And largely for the reasons Durp dislikes it.

Oh, I'm very much aware this is a stylistic film and I think I say in my review you can go both ways with it. That being said, the posts supporting it should just acknowledge that they vote for it due to the fact they like that style and originality it brings and not paint the picture that this movie is a secret gem. If the next battle is Gojira vs Godzilla vs Destoroyah I'll vote for Destoroyah, but I'm not going to pretend it is a completely better movie and play it off as the best, I'll just go off of preference. Some of the statements like "one of few films in the series besides the original film that tries to send some sort of message, and one of very few that does it well." and  "slightly more interesting human characters" are really grasping for straws here when comparing it with it's competition. Come on guys this is opinion based anyway no need to try to validate it with things that aren't there. 

As a side note I don't think the flying scene is that big a deal when critiquing this movie, honestly if I were to list the top ten things I have a problem with in this movie the flying scene wouldn't even make it on there. It seems overblown for both sides, people shouldn't crucify the movie for it, but on the same note it's not like if you took that scene out the movie would be so much different and received well, as I said Godzilla spends most of the movie flailing his arms and striking poses the flying scen might have been some culmination of all that but it was present throughout the movie.

^ So just because I like the film and you don't, if I find anything positive with it I'm "grasping for straws" and finding "things that aren't there?" I know you absolutely despise the film, but that doesn't mean that other viewers can't find positive things with it. You said it yourself, it is entirely opinion-based, so my opinion means just as yours and everyone else's.

It is in fact one of the few movies besides the original that has a message, and handles it relatively well. Not as well as the original, but far far better than Godzilla vs. Mothra. All the humans do in that movie is talk about how "humanity is destroying the Earth" and how "we need to protect the Earth," even though it hardly has anything to do with the plot of the film. The human characters in Hedorah are slightly more interesting than the ones in Gigan, largely because they can be taken mostly seriously and play a role in creating the device that destroys Hedorah in the end. The characters in Gigan are fun, but I personally think the characters in the previous film are better-developed and are more relevant to the larger plot.

The king of the monsters,

Be careful. Durp004 won't accept your opinion because he brings up facts, flaws, and even the scales of the movies. He'll battle it to death with you just like he did gman123 who has recently left because of these fu####g stupid debates. 

Durp004, I don't mean anything I said in disrespect. Just saying in general that when some solid "facts"  are brought up, some people wish to ignore them. 

Anyway, I'm still sticking with gigan. Although with stock footage, it makes the movie seem more fun and enjoyable for the whole family. Which is why I'll never choose the 98 film over any of the original japanese classics. That includes stock footage.

I'll give Durp the posing, but that's about it. Everything he listed I generally enjoyed about the film. If anyone is really "grasping for straws," it's him.

I just don't understand the attitude a lot of the members are approaching this debate tournament. Instead of which movie they like best, people are making it sound like which movie they hate the least. Maybe I just look at all of the films through rose-colored glasses, but I would never consider any of them "horrible films" (except the 1998 one, which shouldn't even count), yet so far on every round at least one user has called either or both films being discussed "horrible."

I personally like all of the films in some way, yet a lot of the other users are making it sound like they only like a select few films, and the rest are all trash. Maybe I'm jumping to conclusions, but I really just don't like the negative tone of these debates. Rather than discussing the positive things that make the movies good, it seems that all that's being discussed are the flaws of each film, and whichever film has fewer flaws than the other.

I don't think any member here is "grasping straws," nor do I think anyone should accuse each other of that. In this particular case, I just think people are looking at Godzilla vs. Hedorah differently. I can see both sides, which is why the movie is so divisive. It's not shocking that people like/dislike it for largely the same reasons. It's always been like that. Which is largely why I'm confused why Big Bad Ben said Durp was presenting facts. If that's really the case he presented no more facts than anyone else.

King of the Monsters,
I agree for the most part. I can find something redeeming about all of these movies whether they're good or not. On some level I really enjoy them all which is how I know I'm a giant monster fanboy. But I also understand that not everyone in the fandom feels the same way. Some people just enjoy some of these movies far less than I do and can't unless it caters closer to what they want out of their interpretation of the franchise. Some people take it a little far, I agree, but it's not particularly unexpected.

I'm not saying that liking a film I don't makes you grasping for straws I'm saying the reasoning you're giving are things that weren't really there in my eyes. Sure the movie had a message, sure it was a good message, but as I said the message is hammered home so hard it becomes redundant. Sure the images look great when you see them in the opening, but when the movies basically stop every 10 minutes or so to show more pollution just kind of because the characters want to talk about it again it becomes old pretty fast. That and the constant Save the Sun song that plays in the opening and throughout the movie to once again, hint at saving the Earth. I personally wouldn't say this did better than Godzilla vs Mothra 92, but I surely wouldn't say it's among the list of movies that gets its message by well, unless you like things being brought up as much as possible then maybe. It's like if the original had a sing along about nuclear weapons being bad, or if Godzilla vs Biollante stopped randomly at points to show you pictures of genetic research gone bad; maybe if Tokyo SOS had mothra carrying a banner that talked about letting the dead rest. All those movies also have messages and in my eyes deal with getting that message accross much better than Godzilla vs Hedorah without being so in your face and repetitive with it.

As for the characters I really don't see it. I don't see how they are any more serious since 2 are just there to party pretty much, the wife is just there to be around the husband and listen to him talk, and the son kind of just likes Godzilla and knows when he's coming and what he's doing through no explanation really. It's not given off as childlike hopefulnesss either it's literally the kid will say "Godzilla is coming" and within a few scenes Godzilla will be there. Then finally the only character that does something Doctor Yano. I mean does he create the device to stop Hedorah? Sure but it's in a very tongue and cheek manner. As I said after spending the majority of the movie in bed he creates something based of information that we all already figured out much earlier in the movie, and then next scene here's the device since apparently it was that easy and then the army brings a larger scale one. That's like if in Gigan one of the cockroaches gets blown up and then 40 minutes later the smartest character after thinking how to stop them the whole movie comes to the conclusion that they can just blow them all up and the next scene it happens.

Maybe the Hedorah characters aren't that bad, and I'm just looking at it in a pessimistic sense, but I can't see how, objectively you could say as a whole they are better than the ones in Gigan on the grounds that one made a device to stop Hedorah.

As for the negative outlook King of the Monsters believes some people are looking at this in me probably being one of those. I like all these movies, hell I literally watched my least favorite one yesterday to see if maybe I missed things that might possibly make it great. That being said when you have a debate and tournament under the perfect bracket logic the bottom teams or movies in this game go out in the first round with the bracket supposedly becoming more competitive with higher levels of competition as it goes on. That being said with every movie that goes on, as with sports I look at it not only comparitively with the movie it's against but who it will move on to. With that being said so far of the movies that have been brought up and moved on you'd be hard pressed to say any are going far in had they gotten a harder draw. Since this is a bracket I look at the movies in comparison to others so while I may have fun with Final Wars and enjoy turning my brain off in comparison to all the other movies I don't find it a strong entry, the same being said for some of the others revealed so far, on their own enjoyable and fun movies, in comparison to the series as a whole toward the bottom in terms of quality.

If you don't see positive things in the film that I or others do, that's perfectly fine. But just because you don't see them doesn't mean that other members who do are "grasping for straws" or "seeing things that aren't there." They just see the film differently than you do, which is the entire point of this debate.

I liked the trippy visuals in Godzilla vs Hedorah but I can't remember anything about the characters for the life of me. I think I'll go with Godzilla vs Gigan in this match.

MOVIE TOURNAMENT ROUND 4 HAS BEGUN.

Twitter and the forum votes show that Godzilla vs. Hedorah is the clear favorite over Godzilla vs. Gigan, 9 to 4. (The irony here is that Godzilla vs. Gigan has a higher rating on the Scified reviews.)

Next round:

Ghidorah: The Three Headed Monster VS. Destroy All Monsters

Well to be honest from my perspective saying the characters are better on the grounds of one making a weapon in roughly 5 minutes to stop the monster than the characters in Gigan who were searching for a lost brother, look up information on the aliens finding out that they're using dead peoples' identity, getting captured and escaping only to come back and destroy the Godzilla tower that ultimately helps Godzilla win as much as drying out Hedorah did is grasping for straws. Either that or you skewed way of looking at characters from the way I do.

Seriously, it's time to shut up about it and move on. This could go on forever. Gigan lost.

Anyway, Ghidorah the Three-Headed Monster for me. Destroy All Monsters may have more monsters, but it also spends more time on the alien takeover. Aside from the silly monster conversation, Ghidorah is just the more thrilling of the two in my opinion.

I've watched both films today and I think I've come to a conclusion on which one I will vote for.

Ghidorah the three headed monster is barely the victor. 

Both films are pure escapist films, both are directed by Ishiro Honda, both features exciting special effects, both are fun for the entire family, one is special effects directed by Eiji Tsuburaya while the other Eiji Tsuburaya supervised. Destroy all monsters was not directed by Eiji Tsuburaya on the special effects.

Ghidorah has a more solid story and better characters. It even mentions Mothra fighting Godzilla in the previous film. Godzilla fighting Rodan is extremely exciting. Godzilla is not the super hero exactly in ghidorah until the end of the movie when teaming up with Mothra and Rodan. Since Godzilla was under alien control in destroy all monsters, I'm not counting that. 

Destroy all monsters has the many monsters, the brutal beat down on Ghidorah is memorable but so is Ghidorah. The master music mind Akira Ifukube scored both of these wonderful films. All in all, my vote is for Ghidorah The 3 headed monster.

My vote on this matchup between:

Ghidorah: The Three Headed Monster VS. Destroy All Monsters

Has to be Ghidorah: The Three Headed Monster. It is the introduction of Ghidorah. Godzilla working with Rodan and Mothra. The human story is even interesting. It is preatty awesome.

Destroy all Monsters may have more monsters, but most of them don't do anything. Also, it sems to spend too much times on the humans. Also, with Ghidorah already losing to the teamup of Godzilla, Rodan, and Mothra, having him go up against 7 monsters just doesn't seem anywhere near as fair. It is in the top half of my favorites, but still not as good as when he first showed up. 

I'll have to go with Ghidorah, The Three-Headed Monster. While I love both of these films, I've always found Destroy All Monsters to be a bit overrated in the fanbase (though I do understand why it is the favorite of so many fans). Ghidorah has some solid acting from some of the series' best actors, a unique and interesting human plot, plus it features Godzilla, Mothra, and Rodan, and introduces King Ghidorah. It was the first film to portray Godzilla as the protagonist as well. It's a landmark entry in the series, and has stood the test of time.

DAM is still an enjoyable film, but the human element is a bit lacking, and nothing really exciting happens until the final battle, which really elevates the entire film. Both films have excellent scores from Akira Ifukube (although I contend that neither are among his best scores).

So, I vote for Ghidorah. Overall, I feel it's the better film, and a slightly more significant entry in the series.

Ghidorah the three-headed monster is probably one of the best examples in the series and movies in general of a movie taking multiple established characters and putting them together without changing the characters and leaving some to supporting roles. All the monsters with the exception of Ghidorah had been in their own movies prior to this with Mothra already meeting Godzilla in the last enstallment. Every monster has a role and all get a good amount of the film. It's paced very well in this sense watching Godzilla and Rodan go at it while the film builds up Ghidorah and Mothra being there to unite them all. The characters and story are very well done too. Interesting concept of an alien coming to warn us of impending doom. Great story great characters, and a great film in the series.

Destroy All Monsters I'm more split on. Sure the movie boasts a huge roster but most don't do much barely making it into a shot or two. The film has some iconic scenes like the final battle and for some reason Manda wrapping around the track always gets shown or brought up. It was a very cool scene though. This seems like the opposite of Final Wars in a way. Final Wars had a huge roster and just went balls to the wall with action every scene, this movie tried to play up the story more with a few shots of monsters destroying things, but overall feels like they went a little too much on the story. For the time spent on it I don't feel like it was used that effectively, and would have rather seen the gimmick of all the monsters that the film boasted. I also can't help but feel the final fight was somewhat disappointing to me for personal reasons. With all the earth monsters there the 3 that actually take on Ghidorah are Godzilla Anguirus, and Gorosaurus with the rest watching. I understand not using Rodan and Mothra on the grounds they've fought Ghidorah before, but from my perspective Rodan shared the rivalry with Ghidorah that Godzilla did being there to confront him with Godzilla both times they've met prior. I guess it's just me by the Rodan Ghidorah rivalry seems a little underplayed in the series after Monster Zero.

Anyway I have to go with Ghidorah the Three Headed monster it had less monsters but seemed to use them so much more effectively.

Ghidorah, the Three Headed Monster!

As a boy, probably my favorite Godzilla movie. I always loved GKOTM, and that was the first one I saw, but having Godzilla, Rodan and Mothra team up against a three headed dragon from space was enough to make a boy's head explode. Although my feelings have tempered a bit for this and Monster Zero in my adult years, they are still among my favorites.

I have to say my sentiments for DAM pretty much echo what others have said as well, and I too felt Ghidorah was overwhelmingly the underdog against that onslaught of monsters, especailly after getting his butt handed to him by the duo of Godzilla and Rodan in Monster Zero. DAM is still a fun movie and a benchmark for the amount of monsters in it.

However, for me, Ghidorah by a long shot. I may actually be on the winning team this time!

Enjoy both films but I'll give a slight edge to Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Monster. I enjoyed the build-up leading to the eventual appearance of Ghidorah and the mystery involving the alien/Princess Salno. 

I'm surprised this round has been such a shut out. I expected Destroy All Monsters to actually take it.

^Agreed. Although I did expect Ghidorah to take, I thought it would be a lot closer amongst some fans.

I didn't think Destroy All Monsters had a chance. It's a good movie but besides having more monsters it didn't really do anything Ghidorah didn't. Ghidorah was the first to bring in aliens the first to have a big roster bringing in multiple monsters, overall the movie just is did too much, besides the final fight and a few scenes of multiple monsters attacking cities at once, which I think there is only one of I believe, I don't really remember much about DAM.

MOVIE TOURNAMENT ROUND 5 HAS BEGUN.

Ghidorah: The Three Headed Monster blew out Destroy All Monsters 9 to 2 on forum and twitter votes. Next up:

Godzilla vs. Biollante VS. Godzilla Raids Again
