Godzilla vs. Biollante

Ed G commentary will not be available on DVD's released on 12/4
Greetings,

I am still giving this item 5 stars for the honesty and professionalism EBHE has had with the fan community. however there is a caution: from 10/18/12-

"We have to go to manufacture today, and we don't have Miramax/Toho's blessing to include Ed G's commentary yet. We have initiated Plan B, which is releasing the discs without the commentary. I don't have much more for details right now, but I can tell you that if you are dying to buy Godzilla vs Biollante with the Ed G commentary, DO NOT buy it on release day. We have the replication masters ready to manufacture with the commentary included, but we are not allowed to use them until we get approvals. My apologies for getting your hopes up. I kept forging ahead hoping that Toho would get their approval to us at the last minute, but it hasn't happened."

So while this will have other Toho approved extras, it will NOT have the english commentary on release day. If you are planning on purchasing...

Finally!!!!
I own all the Godzilla DVD's and consider myself obsessed a tad but Megalon,1985 and Biollante I had on imported DVD's. I was so happy to hear about Biollante being released on DVD it's been way too long. This year has been great for Godzilla fans we finally got Megalon on DVD and it was a very nice transfer it had great video quality and now we will be getting Biollante. Now in terms of quality of the movie it's one of the better Godzilla movies very unique and of course any Big G fan will get it right away. This also means all that's left is Godzilla 1985 to be officially released on DVD lets hope we get that real soon that would be great news for all Godzilla fans.

Update: while I'm very happy to get an official release on DVD the quality is not the best it's probably the worst transfer of any Godzilla on DVD and the sound is horrible it's 1.0 mono for The English Dub. Again I am obsessed and love Godzilla and would recommend it for the collection but the bootlegs...

Wish I Spoke Japanese
I wish I would have reviewed Godzilla Returns way back when I recieved that one. Now I have a chance to talk about both, sort of.
This is a direct to Japan version of this movie, with no English track or titles. Fortunately there is an option for English subtitles. And for me, that's really enough. This is a well done movie and now that I look at it, one of the best from the Heisei Godzilla series. It has great elements of classic sci-fi as well as a very sincere feel, similar to the origional 1954 Gojira. The scientist father character is compelling with his duel wreckless and wise natures. He's a character who learns from his mistakes, and actually lives long enough to pass this wisdom to others. His is a great, tragic character arc. This is the first movie to use Godzilla's standard Heisei look, and I think it's pulled off quite well here. He's a slow, lumbering character, but the point is, it doesn't matter how slow he is or if you can spot him. Because you can't stop him...
