Summary: An Amazing Way To Celebrate G's 20th!
Review: This is one of the better G-films. The story is Godzilla appears in the mountains and heads to Tokyo. On the the way he fights Anguirus. Some Prof. thinks it's strange Godzilla is fighting his most trusted ally. Before Gojira kills Anguirus, Anguirus lets out a final cry. Now Godzilla raids Japan. Meanwhile, something hears Anguirus's roar and comes to avenge his death. And unbelievably, it's GODZILLA!?!?!? As the two kings battle it out the Prof. sees space metal on the first Godzilla where the second one blew off skin. I won't tell you the rest because it would spoil the rest of the film. The battles are great and plot is not half bad. This was actually made to celebrate Godzilla's 20th birthday. It also shows King Ceasar, an ancient god that tries to protect his homeland from the evil heard in the prophecies(wich is mainly the plot of the whole movie).

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: NO MATCH FOR MECHAGODZILLA
Review: This movie is one my favorite godzilla movies of all time.Talking about a good challenge I mean Mechagodzilla is godzilla ultimate rilvary in my opinion.This has a lot of monster action and mechagodzilla has alot of firing power that is hardly unbelieveable.We introdue King Seesar a guardian of the
people that really has no special skills except reflect.But godzilla is really cool but that costume was really lame he looks
to much like a puppy.but overal this G flick rocks.

Summary: My first Godzilla movie
Review: This was my first Godzilla movie, I was either five or six when I saw it. Now that it's on DVD in widescreen format, it should be great. I'm hoping we get accurate subtitles like in Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla. This is a very serious movie, with great actors, the soundtrack is also a great bonus. The monsters are great as well. Some very new ideas for the showa series. The blood effect, with blood spraying forth from Godzilla's neck is well done. Godzilla then continues fighting, covered in blood. I have it on VHS but plan on getting the DVD. I'm positive it'll be worth every penny.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Mechanical Titan of Terror!
Review: Who is Godzilla's greatest enemy? While some may vote for the three-headed King Ghidora or the soaring Mothra, to me that honor will always rest on MechaGodzilla, the star of no less than five Godzilla films, more than any other monster. Here, in the 1974 "Godzilla vs. MechaGodzilla," we have the first appearance of that mechanical menace.

Filmed as a 20th anniversary celebration of Japan's most famous monster, "Godzilla vs. MechaGodzilla" is a bloody and violent entry in the Godzilla series, with MechaGodzilla being a merciless killer, tearing the dinosaur-like Angirasu's jaw in half in the opening battle scene, then stomping off with bloody hands. The vanguard of an invasion, and controlled by a clan of ape-faced aliens from outer space, MechaGodzilla rampages throughout the unhappy island nation of Japan, and Godzilla is powerless to stop him. In order to stop the mechanical terror, an ancient, sleeping deity, King Seesar, is awakened and brought into the fray. Together, Godzilla and King Seesar withstand the assault of missiles, ray blasts, and a host of other weapons in the arsenal of MechaGodzilla.

If you like Godzilla films, than you pretty much know what you are getting yourself into. Big stompy fun, with giant monsters treading on toy tanks and beating the heck out of each other. "Godzilla vs. MechaGodzilla" has all of these traditional delights, with a bit of a harder, more violent edge than the more-campy releases. It is still brilliant, Sunday morning fun.

This DVD release is one of the best available Godzilla flicks on the US market, but still not complete. The Japanese language track is included, which is an absolute must. This is an 85 minute version, rather than the full 97 minutes of the Japanese release. However, it is superior to the original US "Godzilla vs the Cosmic Monster" version, which ran 80 minutes.
