This is an enjoyable follow-up to the original "Gojira". The Japanese version of this film is superior to the hacked up American version (called "Gigantis, the Fire Monster"). In this movie, Godzilla battles Angilas and the battles are actually lengthy and engaging. I was impressed by the fight sequences even though they do look a little funny during the times that they are sped up. The Godzilla suit is a little scary, especially early in the film when it is reminiscent of the original "Gojira". Angilas is not nearly as successful of a creation. Close-ups of the beast's head are entirely unconvincing.

There are some of the usual guffaws like jet planes clearly supported by strings, miniature buildings lifting slightly without damage when inadvertently bumped by a monster, but these are things that make these movies so endearing and fun.

The conclusion is inventive but gets repetitious and drags on too long. The Toho Master Collection DVD contains a very interesting extra that covers history of the actors who played Godzilla (and other famous Toho monsters).
