Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.

Murphy Howard I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

cultfilmfreaksdotcom Strange that a movie about Godzilla fighting a giant plant with the head of a red rose would be one of the best of the entire franchise, dating back from the origins, but it's true... GODZILLA VS BIOLLANTE is also the first of five co-starring Japanese starlet Megumi Odaka as Miki Saegusa, bringing to light another miracle...That a young, really cute Japanese girl (vulnerable and sympathetic, with upturned leafy ears that gives her a unique koala bear pixie look) who is gifted with ESP, could actually read Godzilla's mind without it being too lame or corny: She's what Amy Irving is to THE FURY (think CARRIE with powers in check). And her four other "Heisei Godzilla" films (later distributed by Miramax on awesomely inexpensive blu rays) lasted throughout the entire 1990's...The main character is a middle-aged scientist whose daughter died five years earlier in a laboratory explosion, and he winds up working for a corporation, reluctant at first, but then his creation becomes even more dangerous than Godzilla, or has the potential: that aforementioned plant-beast uses an octopus-tangle of furious stems to attack, each with fang-snapping mouths that resemble the titular "Feed me Seymour" from LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS combined with the fury of The Muppets drummer Animal, in droves...But the final battle between the reptilian and the organic are the first of several peaks that, while going on about twenty minutes too long, winds down a complicated yet clearly told story with a smooth cold war thriller vibe involving an Arab assassin cutting through and around various Japanese henchmen trying to steal the plot-device aka McGuffin from competing labs...Those being Godzilla's very own cells, which was one of several ingredients to bring this new creature to life, and what woke Godzilla up from his volcanic slumber (ala GODZILLA 1985): But his true adversary is a flying vessel that, with blasting lasers laced with anti-nuclear-matter, resembles an otherwise random benign shuttle in any old school outer space movie...Combining b-roll nature shots edited into the expository mainline provides a sort of documentary vibe, along with strategic grids and slick gadgets, all the while allowing Mika to use her brain power only during times needed to make that aspect more interesting within the two most suspenseful and urgent situations... The Japanese military either anticipating Godzilla's arrival or dealing with his usual citywide ravaging that, at that point, 1989, still using the beloved man-in-suit applied effects, actually looks impressive given how much the burning city's flamed-redbrick background, or dark-lit lagoon sequences or even the open sea battles, visually evens-out the screeching, upright-standing creature that, while dated, many find far more entertaining, and even formidable, than what computers do so easily, and without the same creative finesse or overall sense of doom and dread: But it's the multi-tiered story that drives this monster instead of the monster highlighting a one-dimensional action flick.

LP Alienman As we all know, Godzilla movies are based on nuclear fission because he was created by it. And through all his movies, he is always trying to get across that all nuclear reactors are too dangerous for man to handle. But the Biollante story crosses into some type of karmic belief, in this case were the scientist's daughter dies and comes back as a flower. For me this is far removed for any Godzilla story as it could possibly get. Originally it was released in Japan and came to US in 1992. The soundtrack in this movie sounded cheesy and combined with a story line that is almost nonexistent makes for the most unusual Godzilla story. In 2012, it came out on blue-ray that seems to be readily found. I don't recommend it, but as a Godzilla fan, I had to take a chance and see it.

gavin6942 After rising from his volcanic grave, Godzilla is threatened by a mutated rosebush.I think the story to this film is pretty decent, and maybe I should give it a better rating. You know, maybe. The idea is that Godzilla's cells are in a lab and the scientists want to use them for things -- one guy thinks it will help his rose bushes live longer. He was probably right, but it also transforms the bush into... Biollante! (Or Biorante, if you prefer.) And that is just silly! Godzilla fights giant monsters, not giant bushes... what a crazy idea. I mean, I guess after you have made fifty or so Godzilla films you are ready to try just about anything, but I feel like this might have been a misstep.

Ed johnson Godzilla vs Biollante now seems to be consider one of the best godzilla movies and I would say for good reason. In my own opinion this is one of the last godzilla movies to do something really creative and new. I like how this movie has a dark and serious atmosphere to it in contrast to the goofy and sillier godzilla mood of the later showa movies(not that those movies were bad). The special effects are impressive and I feel that they still hold up well today. One really strong point for this movie are the action scenes, all of the action scenes are very entertaining to watch such as godzillas battles with the super x 2 or his battles with biollante. The movie has a good set characters that are likable and the overall story is also good and getting back to what I said earlier it is a interesting new concept. Biollante while maybe not godzillas most powerful foe is still none the less a cool monster with a great design. If I had to chose a flaw with this movie, I will say that the pacing can slow at times, but other then that I believe this truly is one of the best godzilla movies of the godzilla series.
