Summary: Golden age of monster movies.
Review: Mechagodzilla is re-built by aliens who intend to use it to wipe out humanity. Helping them is a discredited and embittered scientist whose daughter has control over a sea monster. It's up to Godzilla to stop the aliens and the pair of giant horrors at their disposal.

One of the better films of the series, this wisely returns to the darker, more sinister tones of the older Godzillas. Mechagodzilla is still one of Godzilla's more memorable enemies and Titanosaurus (not the sauropod) is excellently creepy and is certainly the kind of very real threat which Gigan, Megalon etc failed to represent.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: A weak sequel
Review: This film was released as a direct sequel to GODZILLA VS. MECHAGODZILLA. The original is far superior. Mechagodzilla is reconstructed, and aided by an amphibious creature called Titanosaurus. Both go on the Rampage and give a tough time when they want. Godzilla arrives, of course, but his appearance is delayed. The fight scenes are amusing, but, oddly enough, lack the intensity of most other Godzilla films. The new opponent, Titanosaurus, you'll have to sympathize with at one point, considering it's under the control of someone else. At least the pacing wasn't as slow as a few other Godzilla movies I've seen, but this one is tame compared to them. Go see GODZILLA VS. MECHAGODZILLA.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Boring at sometimes
Review: Boring at sometimes but other than others. Godzilla's appearance was a little better though. Anguirus and King Caesar had smaller parts in it but it returned an old monster and introduced a kinda cheezy and helpless new monster.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Possibly the worst Godzilla film made
Review: This sequel to Godzilla Vs. Mechagodzilla makes its predecessor look like Oscar material. Godzilla doesn't appear in this movie until mid-way through it. When he finally does show up, Godzilla seems to pop-up out of nowhere to do battle with Titanosaurus, one of the worst movie monsters that I have ever seen.

Being a rabid Godzilla fan, I looked forward to watching this movie. Unfortunately, even my five year old son did not like this installment in the Godzilla series.

Poor plot. Poor villains. Poor effects. Not enough Godzilla.

Don't waste your time & money on this one.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: BOREING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: OK, I'M 11 YEARS OLD AND I DON'T KNOW JACK ABOUT MOVIES. BUT I'M A SERIOS GODZILLA FAN AND I KNOW A GOOD G MOVIE WHEN I SEE ONE. AND THIS IS NOT ONE OF THEM. SO ALIENS WANT TO CONQUER THE EARTH WITH A GODZILLA WANA'BEE MACHIEN, BUT WHY A GODZILLA LOOK ALIKE WHY NOT GHIDORA (EVEN THOUGH MECHA GHIDORA WASN'T MADE TILL 1991.)AND HAVING THE MONSTER KING SEESAR IN THE MOVIE WAS POINTLESS,BUT I'LL GIVE IT SOME CREDIT,BECAUSE...WELL,YOU'LL JUST HAVE TO SEE THE END OF IT.(HINT:LOTS OF BLOOD)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of the better Gojira movies
Review: This is the last in the line of "old" Godzilla movies and it is indeed a very good way to go. Basically the aliens from Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla are back and they have brought reinforcements in the shape of a mad professor and a monster called Titanosaurus.(NOT an alien, radioactive or mythological monster this time but a good old fashioned everyday(?) Dinosaur) All in all this movie has everything that made godzilla famous in the first place: Good music, Good special effects (for that time) and a quite interesting storyline. Go ahead and buy this one if you like Godzilla or any other rubber monster.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Fun, better than most of the 70s flicks.
Review: Godzilla appears to destroy Japan, nothing too odd about that. But this Godzilla is acting strange, he fails to emit the trademark roar of Godzilla and he beats up his old friend Angilas. Then another Godzilla that really does emit the roar appears and theres the incredible image of Godzilla doing battle with himself. Then the one that dosn't emit the roar's skin is burned off by the other one's flame and it is revealed to be a robot named Mechagodzilla. Then the battle betwen the two Godzillas and an a ancient monster named King Ceasar begins.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The best 70's Godzilla epic!
Review: This is without words the best Godzilla film of the 1970's. The storyline, the special effects, and the monsters almost matches up to the quality of the better 60's films. It's the sequal to "Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla" and it is much better than the original film. Since it's the last of the classic Godzilla series (that makes 15), the producers tried to make it one of the best using Akira Ifikube's famous Godzilla scores and trying to bring the best effects that Toho could provide to the silver screen. The monsters include the of course Godzilla, who is unusally meaner in this film than any other of the 70's epics (Toho was trying to return Godzilla to his original state which was a mean, radioactive, towering horror in which they don't do to the exstent of the original, but he's meaner than he was in the earlier 70's films). Titanosaurus, which is a new character and is alot diffrent than the monsters of the 70's, because he is not a monster that is released by aliens and has fancy ray beams or transforming powers, but a real dinosaur that depends on the real powers of a dinosaur... claws, teeth, and tail (although, he does have a tail like a fan which enables him to blow his opponent to the ground). Of course theres the fantastic Mechagodzilla, who has tons of light rays and missles spewing from his eyes, fingers, and stomach and he can fly! The quality of this tape is fantastic compared to other Godzilla movies released by other video companies. It's in the SP mode, great sound, and to top it off it's digitally remastered from the original negitives of the film. This is a great movie to watch on a Saturday night around 1:00 AM after "Saturday Night Live" is over. So, get a big bowl of popcorn a Pepsi and enjoy "Terror of Mechagodzilla".

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Get The Supersonic Wave Oscillator!
Review: This is one of the more confusing Godzilla films. In essence it revolves around the return of Mechagodzilla, who had his head ripped off by Godzilla and was thrown into the Pacific Ocean, recuperating with the help of some space aliens from a black hole who look like refugees from the Ultraman set, teaming up with Titanosaurus, a 1/3 fish, 1/3 dinosaur, 1/3 platypus, all ridiculous looking creature controlled by the evil and crazy Dr. Mafune and his half-cyborg daughter. Confused? I am not surprised.

Eventually there is a big three way WWF tag team match at the end featuring all three monsters (remember, Godzilla is good now...) using their laser eyes, fingertip missiles, tail fan accessory, and joined by some Japanese Air Defense Force F-4 Phantom fighters and a helicopter with a mind control beam.

The plot is pretty melodramatic with the Camaro-driving Interpol guy (who with his partner look like the Japanese Starsky and Hutch) in love with the half cyborg Katsura uttering the tender line "Even if you're a cyborg, I still love you!" Not the worst Godzilla movie, but one of the more boring entries in the genre. Three stars.
