The ''Godzilla'' films are really ingeniously thrifty spectacles of scale, and this one is most arresting when the great nuclear beast is glimpsed in the water from far above, as he's bombarded by missiles, or when he's battling a spaceship that's like a giant aerodynamic bedpan. It must take teams of writers to come up with dialogue that hits the perfect note of gee whiz ineptitude (''Did you see that flying rock go by? It's unbelievable!''). Then again, the dubbing could make Shakespeare sound brain dead.
RETURN OF THE KING Godzilla is back. And he's not very happy.
