Movie #1750: Godzilla vs King Ghidorah (1991, Kazuki Ohmori)

I was looking forward to some mindless entertainment here but it just didn't work out that way. For the most part, this movie does work. It's aimed at pre-teens so all the horrid dialogue and crappy special effects are kind of charming. However.....a Japanese imperialist message for pre-teens?!?! The scenes set during WWII show the Japanese army as a bunch of heroes. Then, the reason the 23rd century must destroy Japan is because in the 21st century Japan has gotten very powerful. It seems that Japan has taken over the entire continents of South America and Africa. So, Godzilla must be called upon to destroy those who would oppose Japanese imperialism. Yuk!
