throughout the fifty year career of the godzilla saga and there have be multiple entry that can be consider schlock and even in the eye of the g fan . godzilla begin a a powerful and heart shred dramatic allegorical monster movie and have since make many turn in his career from other powerful film to campy fun movie . and even most of the campy and make for child film of the late 60 and 70 and ( which this film be a part of ) can be at least laugh at or enjoy . however and the series isn not without it piece that be unbearable to watch . even for a long time godzilla fan like myself . godzilla vs. the smog monster be an extremely campy film that fail to live up to my expectation and even a a low budget monster movie for kid . like many asian science fiction cinema piece and the film try to bring a message to the world . this time and it about pollution and it deadly effect on the globe and how nature could turn back against u with it . and godzilla vs. the smog monster do bring u a message and but unfortunately and it ridiculous style and poor screenplay make the film so hard to believe that we can not see the message clearly and even if we do and we can not get past it inferior style to get the full feeling of it . the first godzilla film and in some regard and have some inferior special effect . but the filmmaker work so hard together on that film and it result with a masterpiece so powerful we do not even realize the out of date effect . but godzilla vs. the smog monster can not do the same . the fight scene between godzilla and the new monster and hedorah and a monster make out of sludge and pollution and be extremely weak . godzilla do a lot of childish and funny action such a wipe his lip or even fly through the air like a superhero to the point where it just annoy . the music score and all of which be terrible and just make it bad . and there no shortage of annoy song play throughout the film . a producer tomoyuki tanaka say to director yoshimitsu banno and this film ruin godzilla . i can agree that it be a weak point in the godzilla series and not recommend in my book . but there be bad godzilla film out there . and past them be even bad and more schlock fill film create by american studio .
