Summary:
Thirty years after the original monster's rampage, a new Godzilla emerges and attacks Japan.
A trashy Japanese production with special guest Raymond Burr. [27 Sep 1985, p.25]
New World Pictures has been promoting the film not so much as a fright show but more as a campy romp (the comic trailer was more entertaining than the picture); unfortunately, it doesn't work very well on either level. [01 Oct 1985, p.E1]
Heavily laden with antinuclear messages, bad dubbing and worse dialogue, Godzilla 1985 is a pale imitation of the original film, a calculated bit of cinematic nostalgia that leaves one yawning. [20 Sep 1985, p.J]
