The fact that there would be a Godzilla movie so late in the Shōwa era that I actually found tolerable was a bit of a surprise. But apart from a few of the usual weaknesses, "Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla" is a very enjoyable film. Above all, no movie in the series had looked as elaborate as this one in a long time. And, for once, Mechagodzilla is an effective antagonist, as evidenced by a few well-staged Kaiju action sequences. I didn't like King Caesar as much, but that didn't bother me too much. The stage clearly belongs to Mechagodzilla, and this is fully exploited. No wonder we haven't seen the last of this "monster" here.

I don’t have much to say about the casting, but th More

This is another Godzilla movie that isn't any good. The plot mixes an ancient tale about a beast named King Seesar, with secret agents, with aliens, and finally with the reemergence of Godzilla. With all of these ingredients, I'd like to report that it's a complex but delicately intertwined story. More

==Please note: This review is for the original Japanese subbed version.==

This movie is interesting in its own right with the 70s spy genre kind of working its way into this cheesy sci-fi action flick. Adding a slightly more compelling human side of the story than most Godzilla movies.

Now, wh More
