Summary: The Space Monkeys Are Back Again!!
Review: Mechagodzilla is back again, but this time with titanosaurus, a monster that has his inner tail on his head! I'm a die-hard godzilla fan, and this movie is my second favorite (godzilla vs. megaguirus in first.) . The apes from (do I have to say all of it?) the third planet of the black hole come back with wierd hats, and they hire doctor Mifune who has Katsura who controls titanosaurus and mechagodzilla #2. Godzilla pops out to fight titanosaurus.Then,(this is my favorite scene)the aliens self-destruct there base and send out mechagodzilla #2 and Titanosaurus to destroy ( which of the following is the right answer a.new york b.tokyo c. seatopia d. planet X if you guessed right, its)tokyo. Mechagodzilla 2 didn't do much, but after that goodzilla comes to fight. They used stock footage from godzilla tearing off MechaG2's head but also showed the new lanturn uder his head. Gdzilla kills titanosaurus that kills katsura. the only thing bad is it doesn't have much navy, and the thing to make a campy movie great is to invite alot o' friends, camp out side with the tent with light on or off, get the tv and plop the movie in. WARNING:remember to have pop corn, hershies, or soda. the campy sleepover movie idea will only work on the vhs version(s), don't do what i did!

Summary: Mechagodzilla Returns!!!!!
Review: Aliens arrive at Earth and unite into a team with Doctor Mafuni, who claims to have discovered a dinosaur he named Titanosaurus under the ocean. Aliens transplant technology into his daughter, Katsura, who is warning some guy not to try to find Titanosaurus. The technology allows her to control Mechagodzilla. Mechagodzilla then helps Titanosaurus in the quest to defeat Godzilla. Godzilla must save the world again....

I have a few things to say about Terror Of Mechagodzilla. First of all, if you like the Godzilla film's constant action, this movie doesn't have that much. At the start theres about a two minute long fight with Godzilla and Mechagodzilla, which seem like praccticcally scenes from the movies Godzilla Vs. The Cosmic Monster [AKA: Godzilla Vs. The Mechagodzilla]. Then in the middle there is a 5-10 minute battle against Titanosaurus, and then at the end theres the final battle, which is pretty cool. Sometimes the battle is stopped for a moment to see the scenes where the guy invades the alien base with teammates and the alien______ by______. Also, even though I don't complain about movies that were made in about the 70's special effects, it was pretty dissapointing when I saw Godzilla being thrown, and he was almost flying. I don't really care, as long it is Godzilla.

Summary: For fans only
Review: Aliens from the Third Planet of the Black Hole (or something like that) hatch a plot to transform Tokyo into some kind of alien super-city with the aid of a giant robot and a living dinosaur. Naturally, only Godzilla can save the day. I loved these movies when I was a kid and I still want to love them now for their nostalgia value, but I just can't get past how clunky, repetitive, and, well...dull they are. Nevertheless, I give this film a couple stars because I can still get a thrill from the iconic image of Godzilla stomping through Tokyo, the classic score is great, and there are a few moments of goofy charm that deliver the experience I was hoping for.

Rating: 5 stars

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Godzilla vs MechaGodzilla: The Rematch
Review: Overall, this last film in the original Godzilla series is one of the better ones, due primarily to the fight scenes. If you've seen Godzilla vs MechaGodzilla, though, you pretty much know the plot in this one; aliens from "the black hole" are once again trying to conquer Earth with their mechanized Godzilla monster. The only significant difference between this film and its predecessor is the addition of the monster Titanosauras. The brilliant scientist who discovered the living dinosaur Titanosauras turned away from mankind when his colleagues ridiculed his theories; now his daughter, his only companion for 15 years, can somehow control Titanosauras. The aliens, who are rebuilding the vanquished MechaGodzilla, recruit the evil scientist for their cause, believing Godzilla cannot possibly defeat both monsters single-handed.

Titanosauras is a pretty cool monster at first, but he loses his charm toward the end of the film. He has basically no offensive weapons (being a peaceful dinosaur by nature) except for a fan-like tail he uses to produce a powerful wind. MechaGodzilla is as impressive as ever but is basically the same creature he was in the previous movie. Godzilla looks pretty good and seems to be in fine form, despite the unsurprising setbacks he encounters in the opening moments of the battle. I love the grand entrance he makes here; he unleashes his breath from the shadows, then the camera quickly zooms to his eyes. Some say Godzilla is meaner in this movie, but I don't necessarily think so. When you encounter both MechaGodzilla and Titanosauras together, it probably doesn't do much to brighten your day. While the fighting is pretty good, MechaGodzilla just didn't seem to have his heart in the fight this time around. He basically just stands there unleashing his arsenal of weapons, eschewing the different forms of attack he showed us in his first encounter with Godzilla.

This movie just seems to lack something, but I can't say for sure what it is. The movie seems to end very quickly, yet it is of a comparable length with other Godzilla movies. I think part of the problem is the fact that we have seen most of this before--space aliens controlling MechaGodzilla, agents searching for the alien base of operations, etc. Had I seen this movie before watching Godzilla vs MechaGodzilla, maybe my feelings would be reversed, but I consider the first movie to be far superior to this one. This is not to say that this is a bad movie; it is in fact better than most of the original series of 15 films, and it is historically important because it is the last of those 15. We would not see Godzilla again for 10 years after this movie, so certainly Terror of MechaGodzilla is a film you will want to add to your Godzilla collection.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: The Terrible Three.
Review: Godzilla quietly took a long sabbatical after "starring" in this juvenile sci-fi thriller, but he goes out covered in glory. Evil aliens using a giant super robot armed with missile firing fingers attack Earth. To maximize the suspense, a pre-Spielberg dinosaur from the ocean depths called Titanosaurus joins Mechagodzilla in the alien conquest. Dr. Mifune controls the sea beast, but he is in league with the bad guys. If you look close, you can see that the same actor who played Dr. Serizawa in the orginal Godzilla film plays Dr. Mifune. In a sense, the series came full circle with this flick. Earth needs Godzilla to fight for our side. Remember the days when Godzilla was the menace? Although a low-budget effort, this entry is better than the usual wacky monster mash from TOHO. In a nod to tradition, Tokyo suffers destruction. Buildings crumble, tanks fire their guns, and jetfighters launch rockets. As the monsters fight, fire rages through the industrial part of town. The only thing missing is Raymond Burr. Classic Godzilla music sets the mood. The battle scenes are loud, thrilling, and explosive. They also are occasionally comic. There is only so much the director can do with actors in rubber monster suits. This genre, to be honest, offers a peculiar type of entertainment. True fans appreciate the nuances. "Normal" viewers beware. ;-)

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: If your're not down with this one, you aint a true G fan!!
Review: Sup to all my Godzilla peeps..
This flick here is one of my top faves because not only do you have Mechagodzilla in this one but also a scary looking and sounding monster by the name of Titanosaurus. Dont worry though.. GZilla who is outmuscled in this one comes through at the end as always.
Not one of your average Godzilla movies that is considered to run on television or cable marathons so that is why I recommend this one for all's shopping carts. Enjoy!

Peace to MERzilla.... One. djToneDef

Summary: IF IT QUACKS & SWIMS CALL IT A DUCK. IT IS WHAT IT IS.
Review: What can be said about the film itself... nothing really. It is what it is. A Godzilla movie. As far as the DVD version itself goes...The Sound is great, the DVD presentation & design is pretty good. Extras are sparse, but at least there are some. Hey, if you buy a Godzilla flick you know what you are getting into. Long live Mothra!
